Old Man Rants About Taps
So I drew Freddie Mercury for the 2018 Pasadena Chalk Festival
The Signs as Freddie Mercury moments
Aries: getting a new rolls royce, being told that thieves might steal the silver figure on the bonnet and remarking that he’d “cut their fucking hands off if they tried”.
Taurus: inviting all of his ex lovers to his concert and then just going out and leaving them all in the same room
Gemini: Brian and Roger walking in on him in his underwear eating cereal
Cancer: crying and immediately buying plane tickets to go home for his cats funeral
Leo: ratty crashing freddies car, not very badly, and him later recounting how “the roadie actually screamed” and “my life flashed before my eyes and all i could think about was ‘who will look after my cats?’”
Virgo: not telling anyone what bohemian rhapsody was going to sound like, just making them sing
Libra: when a fan vomited on his shoes and he walked around barefoot, getting towels and talking to the kid and just genuinely being concerned for his welfare
Scorpio: being offered too many microphones and shrieking “it would have been fine if they’d been cocks, but this was ridiculous”
Sagittarius: jumping up and down in a recycling bin grinning and yelling “I’M WHITE TRASH, I’M WHITE TRASH”
Capricorn: sending flowers, cards and drawings to a sick young fan, and calling her on the phone to talk for hours and tell her funny stories to cheer her up
Aquarius: drugging police officers for fun
Pisces:crying when his koi carp died
A Night At The Opera more like
Death On Two Legs: headbanging and fistwaving
Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon: gentle tapdancing
I'm In Love With My Car: twerking on the floor
You're My Best Friend: ...gentle tapdancing
'39: can you square dance with one person? Let's try.
Sweet Lady: do the 80's rock and roll shuffle
Seaside Rendesvous: VIGOROUS TAPDANCING
Prophet's song: i start in lotus position then headbang a little
Love Of My Life: i start in lotus then LAY DOWN AND CRY
Good Company: varying degree of tapdancing
Bohemian Rhapsody: tbh if you don't dramatically mime the whole thing out complete with dramatic death at the end i don't trust you
God Save The Queen: revive yourself for aiR GUITAR
i’m gonna take this opportunity to remind everyone in the queen fandom to not bother bri & rog about maylor
they are aware that it exists. they don’t like it. they both have wives that they adore. Shipping maylor is not necessarily bad, if you want to do that it’s totally fine!! and they’ve been friends for decades, their friendship is strong enough to take all of that but just don’t tag them in manips and memes about it. please. just. don’t. Personally, if I was shipped with my best friend i’d be disgusted and uncomfortable. Of course people react in different ways but i think most people would NOT like to be confronted with it. But like i said, maylor itself isn’t bad, but just keep it within the fandom please

GOOD FUCKING POST
Very publicly and strongly loving numerous cats across your life time is bi culture
The perfect post to begin Pride Month!
the red special is made from a fireplace connected to the floo network & whenever he sings during concerts, he is occasionally transported to various places with similar names to the lyrics he’s singing
