I don’t know if it’s just me but the Queen fandom has really died down lately… at least on other platforms. Any fellow Queenies out there 👀
ALSO we really need new Queenies ☹️ To appreciate the art of their discography. Makes me sad.
the way john deacon is such a legend and i don't get how people don't really acknowledge that more???
like, my man wrote fire songs, could play more instruments than i have books in my apartment (i am a very avid reader) and also just couldn't be bothered™? he's never even close to giving a fuck, he tagged along with queen because he thought it would be fun and didn't expect them to blow up, he's actually freaky and had no qualms sharing that publicly on more than one occasion, finished his degree with basically standing ovations while playing for queen, fucked right off the face of the earth whenever he felt like it, had vibes going during every single queen concert (having the time of his life, dancing queen) in his own little universe.
love for john richard deacon, born on august 19th, 1951 cause he's THE icon and legend and moment 💕❤️

Queen's debut album – July 13th, 1973
there’s a crazy shitposting beatles community on this website that i appreciate reading but ive been disappointed at the complete lack of an insane queen community. like freddie mercury was a MESS he did so much bullshit like the time he wanted to get with jim hutton so he called jim’s apartment over and over again at the wee hours of the night until jim’s old lady landlord fucking evicted him and freddie invited jim to live at his big old london mansion… why aren’t people talking about this guy. rip freddie mercury you would’ve LOVED checking his snap score to see if he’s ignoring you.
(jim ended up living with freddie from 1985 until he died in 1991, they exchanged rings and were husbands) (here’s them on boxing day in their matching shirts) (so i guess being crazy works sometimes)
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 :)
Japan, 1976.

🌺 i drew this a long ago btw
Been going through some old boxes of photos, and came across this one I took of John Deacon in Melbourne, in 1985. I don’t think I’ve posted it before. Sorry it’s not been scanned brilliantly, but enjoy.
