Why did that programme film him cooking? THIS is the high quality content I signed up for.

I find the fact you can recognise specific rooms in his house by the kitchen tiles hilarious and impressive.

Thailand! I wondered when I saw this video, it looks awesome! Wasn’t Mika supposed to go to Thailand a while ago but cancelled it to go to the Himalayas instead? Maybe mentioned it in an interview? Thailand looks great though!

im not even kidding, the literally pass out all the time. This video is over ten minutes long and it’s one of many similar videos

I personally disagree with Kpop the way it is. I would love to have artists from Korea on the radio, but the contracts that the performers are in are rediculous. They work such long hours there are compilation videos on YouTube of the members of kpop bands passing out from exhaustion. I personally don’t listen to kpop because I don’t want to support the record companies exploiting the performers. Many kpop fans get very defensive about this however because many people love the music and have crushes on the performers and don’t want the bands to break up or fail.

I really get what Mika says because when I was at my first primary school my teacher was horrible to me because my spelling and handwriting and reading was worse than some people in the year below me. She kept getting the students work and showing it to me next to my own so I could see how rubbish I was. This was when I was 6/7 years old so I don’t know what she was expecting anyway. I ended up being removed from that school and my parents paying thousands of pounds a year for me to go to private education. People didn’t realise that I was having great difficulties with dyslexia until I was 15 years old, they just thought the teacher was bullying me. In in my opinion, it’s not completely out of the question for Mika to not have been diagnosed or recognised as dyslexic until he was older because most people don’t recognise it at a young age.

I have studied animals and I find this idea cruel. I am unsure of the exact biology of sea urchins but I believe they have a nervous system and nerve cells that respond to stimulus. They most likely do not have a brain complex enough to translate these signals into the sensation of pain, but either way we cannot know for certain. I find this idea very upsetting. (Sorry for the geek out, animals is one of my special interests) as a a member of the Scouts as a kid, I can inform you that chestnuts found in the forest are completely edible while conkers are not

I was expecting only one gig in the uk, if anything. I live around an hour away from London by train so that is probably where I would go anyway. Most touring artists don’t go to tiny seaside towns.

I have 4 Instagram accounts so I voted on it multiple times 🙈🙈🙈

I definitely see Mika as someone who is dyslexic. Dyslexia isn’t even just about spelling and reading and effects many parts of your life and it isn’t just the spelling he has difficulty with. For many people, their being dyslexic isn’t picked up on until they are older. I wasn’t diagnosed until I was 15 although I had teachers shouting at me for the things I was worse at compared to other students. In my opinion, Mika is definitely dyslexic.

Oh my god, I’m so obsessed with this song I can’t even deal with it. Not even just on a basic listening, as a guy who’s interested in the construction of songs I adore it. 1) really good use of Mika’s range. Very effective. His voice sounds so beautiful here. 2) I love the lyrics. It’s so poetic. Mika really knows how to paint a picture with his words. 3) the way the sound has been built up. The vocals are just as important as each instrument. Clarinet, violin etc. 4) the backing vocals kind of gives me an early Queen vibe. Around the Queen, Queen ll, sheet heart attack sort of era. 5) it’s catchy. Another ear worm I think. 6) why does it remind me of The Greatest Showman? 7) loving the chorus i could listen to this this song all day. If there’s a song that could help raise Mika’s profile in the UK again, I think it could be this one. I’m gonna go and encourage the British to listen to it on social media now. XD

Thay sounds like some form of colour blindness rather than dyslexia or irlens. Maybe one of your eyes wasn’t sending a clear message to your brain? That’s really interesting, I might research that effect.

Yeah, also when your dyslexic you are really creative and have loads of ideas but you just can’t physicalky write it down. That’s why my fanfiction account is so bad. People complain at me to update and then 5 years later I still haven’t because every time I sit down I only wrote a sentence lmao

I’m curious too one of the main reasons his albums take longer than other people’s is because he writes his own songs. Lots of people don’t do that. I think the way his albums have changed have shown how he has matured and grown as a human being.

My brother has promised me tickets if Mika tours the UK!! Please Mika!!!!!

Im actually not a fan of “it’s my house” (don’t kill me) but I did find strasera Casa Mika a bit cringe. (I watched it anyway because I’m a fan lmao). I wouldn’t mind if it wasn’t on the English release. A lot of English fans would probably find it confusing anyway because not too many have heard of Casa Mika. Most English fans are lgbt and read his articles English language magazines only so won’t be aware of stuff happening in Europe. The happy music with sad lyrics reminds me of ‘life in cartoon motion” so maybe he’s returning to his earlier sound. No place in heaven was very 80s and origin of love was more modern techno pop. I’m probably gonna be obsessed with whatever he brings out tho lmao

Hey, my tumblr is blameitonmika I would love it if people followed me!

Thank you MFC for: -being so accepting when I kinda came out as trans -helping me to improve my skills with the French language. -translating articles and things into English so I can understand them (thanks subtitling team!) -all being friendly. The Queen fan club, queenzone is very hostile and not inviting to any fans. Also some people there are really homophobic which is strange because Freddie once said that he’s gay as a daffodil XD

I haven’t heard about this. Didn’t Mika used to have glasses with yellow lenses? It’s probably true though, or as irlens is still a new diagnosis it could be related to irlens

This is what Irlens is. I have glasses with green lenses to help with this. It mostly happens to people with autism (over half) but 15% of neurotypical people have it too. Reading Problems: Poor comprehension Misreads words Problems tracking from line to line Reads in dim light Skips words or lines Reads slowly or hesitantly Takes breaks Loses place Avoids reading Discomfort: Strain and fatigue Tired or sleepy Headaches or nausea Fidgety or restless Eyes that hurt or become watery Attention and Concentration Problems: Problems with concentration when reading and doing academic tasks Often people can appear to have other conditions, such as attention deficit disorder, and are given medication unnecessarily. Writing Problems: Trouble copying Unequal spacing Unequal letter size Writing up or downhill Inconsistent spelling Other Characteristics: Strain or fatigue from computer use Difficulty reading music Sloppy, careless math errors Misaligned numbers in columns Ineffective use of study time Lack of motivation Grades do not reflect the amount of effort Depth Perception: Clumsiness Difficulty catching balls Difficulty judging distances Additional caution necessary while driving Distortions: Words on the page lack clarity or stability; i.e., may appear to be blurry, moving, or disappear

Some symptoms of dyslexia in adults Poorly organised written work that lacks expression (for example, even though they may be very knowledgeable about a certain subject, they may have problems expressing that knowledge in writing) difficulty planning and writing essays, letters or reports difficulties revising for examinations trying to avoid reading and writing whenever possible difficulty taking notes or copying poor spelling struggling to remember things such as a PIN or telephone number struggling to meet deadlines Discalcula is similar to dyslexia but has more to do with the organisation of numbers. People with dyscalcula often don’t get diagnosed because they assume their symptoms are dyslexia. These things can include difficulty telling the time and counting on their fingers.

Hello, I have never started a thread before and I am a bit nervous about doing it but i wanted to make this thread. mika is very vocal about his dyslexia but I think it is a very misunderstood condition and I would like this thread to help people understand it. If you are dyslexic or have dyscalcula, irlens syndrome or Dyspraxia, please comment with your experiences.

No helmet on the bike?

The eye emoji he has on his hand has the transgender flag in it. I wonder if he knew this, or if he just liked the colours XD

I wonder what friend got Mika that happiness book. Are they saying Mika isn’t very cheerful? 😂😂
