Your take on M&M was sooo valid!! It still makes me so mad when people talk shit about Jim, as if it isn't clear that he was incredibly protective of Freddie and wouldn't have done anything that could hurt him. The book was literally a way to say Freddie was a good, kind, generous person and he was so so so loved always despite what the press was saying
Thank you. What’s funny is that my initial takes on M&M, Jim, and Mary haven’t changed after 5 years; they’ve only been reinforced after years of reading more sources. I read that book without any priors or biases going in, and I saw nothing but a grieving man who wanted to cope with the loss of his husband, get his story out there into the world after having to hide their relationship for years. I thought Jim’s account oozed with fondness, and he gave us a picture of Freddie that was remarkably human, flawed and moody but loving, sweet, and generous, too. That was my first real glimpse into who Freddie as a person was, and Jim’s loving account is what got me hooked.
I stand by all of my original assessments, including my subsequent assertion that anyone who dislikes Mercury and Me shouldn’t be trusted; brain worms ALWAYS follow.

Art by @rozenn-blog
Summary:
“Why him?”
Lucifer crosses his arms over his stomach, hands clasping onto opposite elbows; a simulation of the hug he so desperately needs.
There’s a lot he can say here.
Like how Alastor makes his hopeless heart flutter with the belief that maybe dreams are still possible; that Alastor makes him feel something, anything, everything all at once, and it is as heavenly as it is torturous.
But all he can manage, in a voice so small he can scarcely believe it's his own, is, “He makes me laugh.”

I think it was important for Jim to mention their sex life because the press were obsessed with portraying Freddie as some reckless sexual degenerate, as they did with all LGBT people. But then Jim completely shatters that narrative by saying, ‘no, our sex life was normal, like any other couple.’
People need to keep in mind that this was published only a few years after Freddie died, and these disrespectful stories were still circulating about him (and they still are to this day, because it makes them money.) If my partner was being slandered publicly, being portrayed as some sort of deviant, and they weren’t around to defend themselves, you bet your ass I’d be setting the record straight.
That’s a good point. I don’t know if that was his explicit intention, but in the face of endless stories which portrayed Freddie as a WiLd sex addict, Jim said they just had normal sex and Freddie thought of it as lovemaking from early on. The book was only published 2-3 years after Freddie died, and at a time when gay memoirs were not popular in the slightest; people forget how brave it was of Jim to even publish a book like that tbh

I love you album covers. I love you albums with extended editions. I love you songs that reference each other.

nothing important after all
*read from left to right
**image descriptions under the cut
[image description: a short comic of Suletta Mercury and Miorine Rembran from the anime Gundam: the Witch From Mercury. image 1 shows Miorine looking at her phone in confusion and then smiling smugly at it in the next panel. she is then shown getting up out of bed, and ends up at a door, calling for Suletta excitedly to tell her what she found. her dialogue reads: "Suletta, look! we won!" the rest of her dialogue becomes gibberish scribbles. image 2 shows Suletta's hands transplanting a tomato plant with a gardening spade, and a closeup of her face from the nose up, eyes wide as she notices Miorine. image 3 is simply of Suletta kneeling in a tomato garden, spade in hand, backlit by the warm yellow light of the sun. she says: "what did we win, Ms. Miorine?". the 4th and last image is two panels of Miorine from the shoulders up, leaning against the doorframe. at first her mouth is slightly open and she appears surprised or awed. in the second panel her eyes and mouth flatten a into a soft, tender smile at Suletta. below her, their dialogue continues. Miorine: "Ah... it was nothing." Suletta: "Eh? But you were so excited! I want to know why my wife made such a cute face <3". Miorine: "I wasn't—! It's just a silly poll, nevermind." The remaining dialogue from Suletta is gibberish/scribbles. end ID]
