Sneak Peak for This Thing Called Love, my king!au

I wanted to give y’all a little sneak peek of my king!au bc I’ve seen anons asking about fem!queen authors, so here’s about 169 words of the first chapter ft Farrah (Freddie) Bulsara and Oscar the cat

     London smelled a bit dank from the rain that had stopped about a hour back, but it smelled like freedom when Farrah Bulsara stepped off of the bus and onto the wet sidewalk. She pulled the scrap of newspaper out of her pocket to check the address, the advertisement reading Seeking Flatmate in London, Must Help Pay Rent nearly worn off the this paper. She’d exchanged a few texts with a polite girl named Brianna. 

     “Mrrah,” Oscar complained from his crate, seemingly having been woken up from his nap. Farrah lifted the crate to her face and kissed the cat’s nose through the bars. 

     “Hush, darling,” she murmured as he huffed. “We’ll be there soon, I promise. You must behave so that Brianna and her flatmate will let you live with us, love. Will you quiet down if I promise you treats with your dinner?”

     He blinked slowly, then laid back down with a sort of sigh. Farrah laughed as she continued down the road towards her new home.

River in films: The Thing Called Love (1993) as James Wright // dir. Peter Bogdanovich

“When we were preparing the film, we thought he was too big a name and that he wouldn’t be interested since it’s essentially written from a women’s point of view. River wanted to sing in a film and this would give him a chance to sing. When we spoke on the phone, I said, “I have just one question for you. You’ve never played a character with such an edge to him. How would you do it?” and he said, “silence.” I thought that was such a brilliant response. [...]  He really got into it. I didn’t meet him until he was into the part. By the time he came to California, he was into the role. He was adorable and a great help on the picture. He had what Hemingway called “a built-in shit detector.” We had two writers on the script and he would complain if he didn’t like the lines, but he was glorious to work with.”

“Look out Music City, ‘cause I’m here now and I ain’t never leaving.”

“Although The Thing Called Love was a modern love story set in Nashville, Phoenix turned the movie into vehicle to show his contempt for his stardom. Changing his character into a moody temperamental singer, he insisted on playing it with a sneering scowl on his face. “The producers were worried because River chose a darker, more introspective way to play the part than was written,” explained Moyle. “At one point I said ‘River, who the hell are you playing here? I don’t get it.’”

Phoenix then admitted he had modelled James Wright on the less flattering side of rock icon Bob Dylan, as seen in in D.A. Pennebakers documentary Don’t Look Back about his unhappy 1965 English tour during which he was booed off stage at London’s Royal Albert Hall for going electric. “In that movie Bob Dylan displayed probably the most sour reaction to stardom possible,” explained Moyle. “I don’t think he smiled once in the whole movie and there are shots of Joan Baez gazing lovingly at him while he’s just scorning her and all his friends.”

"We rewrote most of the picture while the writers were there - and the actors more than me," said Bogdanovich during a Seattle visit last week. "I trusted him. I gave him tremendous freedom. His input was so brilliant."

Bogdanovich still finds it hard to talk about Phoenix in the past tense. He believes "his spirit is undiminished."

(...)

"It's very, very rare to find an actor who's interested in the whole work," said Bogdanovich, recalling Howard Hawks' comment that most actors are trying to win a popularity contest in every scene.

"River didn't care about how it reflected back on him. He lets her character win in the end. He lets his character be portrayed as not very likable. Sometimes I had to pull him back because I felt he was going too far. Like most young actors, he's into a kind of method, and he got so deeply into this role that he seemed moody and abrasive at first. But then he'd say, ‘Don't let me give you any trouble.’ I didn't know how fully he was into the part. I didn't meet the real River until three or four weeks after we finished shooting.’’

"He was very proud of it," said Bogdanovich. "He was not simply an actor in the picture."
