I didn't realize how much I really do need to be an English Minor until my supervisor gave me an article to summarize the other day (we didn't write it, we were using it for a newsletter) and one paragraph in I saw something that looked stupid and therefore I researched it (yes it was stupid) and the rest of the article was very much just an advert for the site it was on without much actual, y'know, *substance*??? And istg I sat there for a solid 30 seconds buffering about how easily I dissected that Thang and tore it to SHREDS in my notes as tho my 11th grade teacher asked me to write a review on it.

And then I swallowed my pride and summarized it because I'm an intern, don't get paid enough to try and find a better article for my supervisor to approve, and I'm 75% sure no one is going to actually read beyond my little blurbs so it's fine. Whatever.

I posted the article about Mary auctioning of Freddie's collection on Reddit & and group on facebook for Queen. I have since left the r/Queen group and there was one comment talking about Kashmira if Mary was going to give it to her.

This was my reply which shows the truth but of course the stans refuse to see it about how She wouldn't give his collection to his loved ones since she never cared about them.

I also made an example of how she refused to give Jim the cats he gave Freddie and how she denied, Joe, Jim and Phoebe stuff from garden lodge.

And I got this reply

And I got down voted about it, so I gave an edit (your probably gonna laugh) : Thanks for the -3 y'all refuse to see the truth about Mary, all because you have fantasies of being in her place in having whohoo time with Freddie. Y'all put her on this pedestal while she treated everyone Freddie loved like dirt and betrayed Freddie after he died.

Guess you love that about her too eh? Good ta know!

Thank goodness I left, also another said that Mary could do anything she wants by selling Freddie's collection

-------

I do love when Mary stans loudly tell everyone they're just as cold and callous as the woman herself. Seriously, every time someone defends her stealing Jim, Joe, and Phoebe's cats, the belongings Freddie gave them, and even their own things (like Jim's pictures of his family) with "BUT LEGALLY THEY'RE HERS", it's one of those things where everyone knows something could be legally true but morally wrong lmao, and I truly think it shows a person's true colors if they defend behavior like that. A lot of people show their true colors when it comes to legal documents like wills and stuff, actually--we had a big blowup in my family over my grandfather's will when he died because family members got greedy.

I do think it's funny that the general reaction I've seen seems to be people very uncomfortable with the whole thing, and of fucking course Mary stans are like "if I don't defend horrible behavior of the woman who straightwashes a dead celebrity for me, I'll die"

For what it's worth, I told my very offline, non-fandom mom about the whole thing, and her immediate response was to ask why the music-related stuff wasn't going to Freddie's family or a museum, and that selling things like his comb is "ghoulish" lol

hi y'all! 🦋

I apologize for the long message in advance! But as many of y'all probably noticed, I didn't actually wind up taking my social media break this weekend. Recently, I've been feeling the addictive/pressuring side of Tumblr which means it's time for me to take a bit of a break, for real this time lmao

As a result, I have some important updates for you guys!

I'm gonna be logging off + will be off Tumblr starting tomorrow until next Thursday (so until Sept. 15). Feel free to drop ideas or any chats/Thirsty Thursdays in my inbox while I'm out + I'll get to them when I come back. :)

I have something queued to post every day that I'll be offline. I have 5 fics + a blurb that'll be posting. Everything will drop at 8:20 p.m. EST.

Since I won't be online, any asks that are tied to the posts won't have links to the fic like they normally do bc Tumblr is stupid and won't let you link to posts until they've actually posted. Also, I'll update the masterlist when I get back!

When I return next week, hopefully well rested and recharged lol, I'm planning to reopen my inbox for requests!! But I'll keep y'all posted if any plans change.

As for now, I can't thank y'all enough for following and interacting with my content. 🥺 I love each and every single one of you + I see each and every single like, reblog, and comment that you leave on my fics.

Thank you for your incredible patience with me and I hope you guys enjoy the fics that'll be posting this week! Lots of smut coming your way hahaha 💖

love mila 🦋

P.S. - I'm literally soooo close to 1,000 followers I can't even believe it 😭 so if I've surpassed that when I log back on you already know we're gonna have another sleepover and party like we're at a 1970s Elvis show in Vegas.
