[ revamped the incorrect quotes to add a few extra! these will cover the first two books, then i'll make another when we get into season 3/4 territory. i love how most of these incorrect quotes are just cath worrying over her friends, and honestly? bless her little heart. she is the ultimate mum friend™️ ]

[ p.s: if you are a queen fan, you may recognise the format of the incorrect quote with members of the party introducing themselves... basically in this video freddie, brian and roger introduce themselves somewhat normally, and then john deacon just goes and says his full name and birthday with an innocent smile? and i just like using that format for all my OCs, it always cracks me up 😂 ]
