Hi! The anonymous person who asked about the Jealous Brian and Under Pressure fanfic here. Thank you so much for replying, I hope everything goes well with your house situation! I'll keep an eye out for your updates! Since you replied, I wanted to ask you a question I've had since I joined the Queen fandom, do you know where the Roger's nickname for Brian, "Brimi", came from? I've seen it in Spanish and English fanfics (I'm Mexican), and as far as I understand, and for what other people told me, it's from that video where they record One Vision. Could you give me a more specific answer if u know? Thanks!
Thank you for your ask!
I am writing this weekend and hope to post something soon!
About ‘Brimi.’
The nickname has its origins in the early days of Queen. If I remember correctly, Freddie was the one who gave Brian this nickname.
They were all massive fans of Jimi Hendrix and Freddie christened Brian with the affectionate nickname ‘Brimi.’ A combination of his own name and that of Jimi Hendrix.
Stating that Brian would be his Jimi due to his clear talent as a guitarist. I imagine this was also a way to boost Brian’s confidence. Something he lacked as a young man.
It reflects Freddie’s admiration for his friend and his way of boosting Brian yo meet his full potential as a performer.
If anyone else can elaborate on this, please do so.
