✨TIMELINE CLEANSE✨

Getting into The Monkees is so fun because you don't even have to headcanon. You dont have to go and find evidence of why they could be autistic when they're out here openly talking about their diagnosis. Peter talks about how he tops whenever he has sex with men. He talks about having a crush on Davy when they first met. I don't have to do any work they do it for me

Being in fandom spaces is so surreal-

Bc once your age hits a 'serious' number, you start to think - "damn, I should probably stop geeking and get more serious." But then you scroll and see a 34y/o woman writing fics after driving her kids to school, a 40y/o dude making fanart of his fav super heroes and you realize - "nah, I'm actually good"

I literally would not care if paul was slapping the other Beatles across the face on the reg he did what he had to do in order to get the band to be better

I am literally such a whore for It's Late it is the single best track off News of the World

when you listen carefully to the bass lines, your whole world changes

if I could bring back john lennon for a day and spend a few hours explaining what the internet is and what tumblr is and what rpf is and then tell him him and paul are beating jesus and judas at a who's gayer competition I think he'd find it the funniest fucking thing on earth especially given that he literally was killed over the jesus thing. which is why they have to obliterate jesus. for him.

Oh, sure, I know Queen. Here's a nifty, not-at-all-devastating fact for you: Brian just wanted Freddie to be loved. It's everywhere.

It's in his dislike for Don't Stop Me Now, a song that—in Brian's mind—represented drug use and intense partying that was leading Freddie away from the band, toward people who didn't care about his wellbeing. It's in Brian saying he regrets not looking after Freddie better.

It's in his writing Save Me to give Freddie an outlet for his heartbreak, but also subtly tell him, "Hey, you're a loving partner. You deserve one in return."

It's in Brian helping Freddie write It's a Hard Life, with expressing his heartbreak once again. It's in Brian watching the video for that song and interpreting the setting as a depiction of Freddie's emotionally unfulfilling personal life during the Münich era.

It's in Brian stressing that Freddie was always in serious, monogamous relationships, searching for the right person. It's in Brian defending Freddie's relationship with Jim and calling it loving.

It's in Brian having a soft spot for Don't Try So Hard, a song representing Freddie finally securing his dream relationship.

BRIAN JUST WANTED HIM TO BE LOVED.

These rockstars have the nerv to make seven minute songs🙄 and they're GOOD so you HAVE to listen to them or else Brian May will have to kick down your door
