@love-love-you your HUGE brain...... the mentioning of how the main theme of The Boy Who Knew Too Much is queering usually-heterosexual narratives is making me absolutely Galaxy Brain bc it’s not something that crossed my mind yet and now I’d love to think through TBWKTM song-by-song and give ‘em a big Think over?? (and also find more interviews where he analyses his own songs since I havent seen many yet!) like so far the ones most quickly coming to mind are:

- We Are Golden: coming of age

- Rain: bending of the typical “break up song”

- Toy Boy: pinnochio-esque fairytales

- Pick Up Off The Floor: idk how to describe this but I always find this sounds like it would be sung by a femme fatale in a noir movie in a shady bar? anyway, Mika homme fatale™️ king

- Blame It On The Girls: idk but this song sure is Filled With Gender!

I would LOVE to hear ur thoughts if you had anything expanding on this! 👀

gay culture is that thing MIKA does in live performances of Toy Boy where he’ll say “clothes are made of rags - and they don’t even MATCH” with an extra lil hint of Bitchy Venom. i appreciate that

#MIKA #tbwktm #love-love-you #also this reminds me of that one post where u were talking about how important tbwktm was #bc of the fact that interviewers were less able to ask about his sexuality Explicitly before he came out #so tbwktm centers on queerness for queer people without having to actually centre on a coming out narrative #and i just thonk that’s delocious #like obviously it’s straight people’s fault that mika’s coming out got so analysed right after the fact #so it’s like.. here is an album for queer folks that straight people can’t touch and dissect #i just have so many feelings about how narratives are weaved throughout this album even though my thoughts arent super coherent yet dnfjg #v tag
