Song #128
I Want To Break Free by Queen
It was released in 1984 in their album The Works
Fun fact: The song is largely known for its music video for which all the band members dressed in drag, a concept proposed by drummer Roger Taylor, which parodied the soap opera Coronation Street. Whereas the parody was acclaimed in the United Kingdom, where cross-dressing is a popular trope in British comedy, it caused controversy in the United States.

I tried...

✨️💖HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN DEACON! 💖✨️
Happy 72nd birthday to our beloved bassist, who's so much more special than most people believe and deserves all the love and recognition. (And privacy nowadays!!! Don't bother him!!!) 🥺🥰💖💖💖 Here's the artwork for his birthday and I loved drawing it despite it was quite troublesome to find the right balance with the greens 🤧 Once again, I made a little collection of iconic costumes and looks, even mixing some a little and adding a couple of easter eggs as well.
I really hope you'll like this 🥰💖💜💕💖💜💕 What's your favourite Deaky look?

✨️👑 HAPPY BIRTHDAY FREDDIE MERCURY 👑✨️
And so here it is, the last artwork for Queen's birthdays, with the Queen himself! 🥰🥰🥰 I had a lot of fun drawing this, even if choosing just a few of his iconic costumes and outfits was super difficult 😅💕💕💕 In the middle, for the "most recent" Freddie, I chose to draw him in the beautiful Cat Vest from These Are The Days of Our Lives, hoping to portray all of Freddie's love and bravery, his beautiful smile while he declares his love for us 🥺💖💕💜💖💕💜
As for the colors I used the two colors I associate with him, royal purple and golden yellow, which was quite hard to use for the shadows but I'm super happy of the result and I really hope you like it too! 🙏🏻💕👑

A Musing Monday 🎐
Today I'm musing on movement vs lack of movement. Right now there's a lot of movement around me, and yet im feeling stuck. Immobile.
One of my partners is on a family vacation, a close friend of mine is moving, another friend started a new job. I know people finishing their book drafts and starting journeys to learn drawing and going back to school and marching up to businesses to ask for jobs.. it's amazing. Its breathtaking. Achingly so.
I feel petrified in comparison. Im having moments of movement- a little inspiration, a flash of bravery, and idea of things that could be. But it feels like an engine that rumbles with the start of something only to immediately fade back to stillness. Sometimes a lack of movement means peace. Not here.
We dont expect that stutter in our protagonists, we dont see it much in books and media. Is it because of the way it itches? The way it reminds us of headaches that keep us from sleeping while also dragging us into feeling sleepy? Perhaps its just not interesting to show someone putting forth surges of effort only for nothing to come of it. Perhaps its too scary. Too reminiscent of the futality we run from.
This musing doesn't have a pretty bow on it, no positive note to soften- but I invite you to ponder on it. How does it sit in your chest? How are you defying it or being defined by it? How would you write about it? How can a protagonist be defined by the way they can't move when they're trying to?
this song for byler. please. they just want to be free. let them be free and happy and in love.
It’s strange but it’s true
