Another post I want to dedicate to deakys birthday my favorite part of liar when John sings the all day long part forever be iconic ❤️
I listened to it for the first time finally and UGHHHH we were FED
-Roger’s maniacal laughing in the Keep Yourself Alive De Lane Lea Demo (disc 2)
-Freddie: aw that was a good end Rog, I love that [Great King Rat, De Lane Lea Take 1]
-Mad the Swine Trident Take 3. Just the entirety of it. All that wholesomeness
-Roger: I tell you now, I’ve been deliberately playing off all week! […] Freddie: AHAHADJGGJJAHAAAH I can’t get this timing, hang on [My Fairy King Trident Backing Track In Development. Like all of it but especially the first 40 seconds]
-Brian: nOOOOO!! oh dear— […] Brian: *messing around on his guitar* Freddie: SHUT UP BRIAN [The Night Comes Down, De Lane Lea Takes 1 & 2]
-Roger: okay Brian? Brian, from the distance: r I G H T!!!! [Modern Times Rock N’ Roll, Trident Takes 8 & 9]
-*music* Roger: you f***ed it Brian Freddie: it was you Brian Brian: SHIIIIIIIIT [Jesus, De Lane Lea Take 2]
-Freddie: sorry about this, but Brian’s guitar is about to blow up [See What A Fool I’ve Been, De Lane Lea Test Session]
EDIT: I made a video compilation of these so y’all didn’t have to! Captioned (I tried my best…it gets hard when they talk over each other) and color coded. Freddie is black and white, Brian is blue, Roger is red, John doesn’t talk in these clips. If it’s plain white, I didn’t know who was talking. Enjoy :)

Nation: Sumeru
Here's Freddie from my Genshin Impact x Queen crossover!
Freddie is a famous singer from Sumeru, who has also traveled to Fontaine with Xinyan to learn rock music and share it with the rest of Teyvat, aiming to get in his own band. He uses his Pyro energy to heat the audience up and unleash his powerful voice. He loves to use his very own custom-built microphone/sword to fight enemies and sing on stage. However, Freddie has a soft and loving side to him, he's very loyal, selfless and determined to bring a smile to everyone!
Freddie was so much fun to design and -while keeping in mind his Pyro element and the Sumeru region- I mixed a ton of Freddie's outfits together to make it as flamboyant and royal as possible! Zhandra Rhodes, the feathers from his Hard Life outfit, his sequined and harlequin leotards, a red scarf directly from Hot Space, gloves and wristbands, the iconic black nail polish, obviously an exposed chest... And lots of wings to recall both the phoenix and the god Mercury! His microphone/sword recalls the red Q ribbon and the rose thorns in the Queen logo, while the rose in the middle is the Freddie Mercury rose.
Here you can see all the sketches with very early studies for all their designs and Here is a little overview of them as characters, with aesthetics and quick summaries. ROGER | JOHN | BRIAN
Hairless version (more aligned with Genshin's aesthetic):
Please do not repost! Reblogs and comments are always welcomed! 💜
Also just think of Brian and Freddie - the two who write the songs and both of whom have a healthy ego - putting John and Roger at the centre of this collage. Even if it is a doll of Roger.
