(I’m posting this less to correct the timeline portrayed in Bohemian Rhapsody, which I mostly really enjoyed, than simply to share a beautiful story that shines light on who Freddie actually was, up to the very end, via twitter.)
[image description: an illustration of Taako and Kravitz, kissing. Taako is a dark-complexioned elf with short, curly, dark brown hair underneath a pointy purple wizard’s hat. He’s wearing dark blue robes and has one hand on Kravitz’s shoulder and the other on the back of his head. Kravitz is a man with dark brown skin and short black dreadlocks pulled into a ponytail. He’s wearing black robes and cupping Taako’s face as they kiss.]
bitty tweets “@ everyone: you’re welcome” every time jack shows up well-dressed at a formal event
some things bitty was fully responsible for:
thin black suspenders
sleeves pushed up to the elbow
pants that fit (bitty shares a long look of disbelief with jack’s team-assigned stylist when this finally happens. when jack asks they both scramble to assure him that yes, they are in fact his size)
half-unbuttoning several dress shirts (”jack, I am doing the world a favor right now.” “the world, eh?” “also myself.”)
I see your rabbit cufflinks and I raise you JACK being the one to see those on a tray at the tailor’s shop, picking them out and softly smiling at Bitty. “You’d like these, eh?” Bitty tries not to roll his eyes fondly. Yes, he loves Senor Bun, but Jack’s got it in his beautiful head that Bitty’s obsessed with rabbits. But Jack gets so happy when he thinks he’s making Bitty happy, so yes, he flushes with pride and so much love every time Jack wears those to a fancy event, fiddling absently with his cuffs as a way of soothing himself when questions or interactions get too stressful. “It’s like you’re there with me,” he confesses to Bitty late one night, the tips of his fingers pressed against the edge of the screen. Bitty aches with the desire to hold him.
