QT: Chess - WLW: The Kissing Queens II Song "Queens Don’t Checkmate Love" based on my original idea of the kissing Chess queens: This song tells the playful yet quietly rebellious story of two queens on a chessboard who begin to question the very rules they were created to follow. Instead of serving their kings and fighting on opposite sides, they discover a deeper connection with each other—one that challenges the rigid structure of the game itself. Through witty, lighthearted lyrics and a romantic, theatrical tone, the song explores themes of freedom, identity, and love defying expectations. As the most powerful pieces on the board, the queens realize they have the ability not just to play the game, but to change it—choosing connection over conflict and rewriting the rules so they can finally stand together instead of apart.

Lyrics: Queens Don’t Checkmate Love
White to move… or maybe not On a board of black and white, we’re told just how to play Protect the king, attack the foe, don’t ever go astray But something’s wrong, I must confess, this game feels so absurd When every move I make for him just keeps me far from her Across the board she stands so tall, in shadows dressed in grace They call her enemy, but I just see her face They say “advance!” they shout “attack!” but I don’t feel the fight I’d trade my crown in just one move to stand there by her side Why must we battle, why must we choose Between their war and what we could lose? We’re the queens, the strongest on the board Why are we playing by their rules? We could cross every line they drew Forget their kings and all their duels We don’t care who wins the game We just want to change the rules Let the bishops gossip, let the knights complain We’re done being royal tools The pawns keep marching, bless their hearts, one step at a time The rooks are stuck in corners, guarding empty lines The kings just sit and tremble, scared of every threat But we could end this silly game if we just… never met? …No, wait, that’s worse. I’d rather cheat than that Why guard a crown that feels like a cage? Why play a part on their old stage? We’re the queens, the fire and the flame Why are we fighting at all? We could meet right in the middle square And let their whole world fall We don’t care about check or mate Or the glory that they claim If loving you’s against the rules Then we’ll rewrite the game Slide past bishops, dodge the knights Break formation, start a fight— (Not with each other, don’t get it wrong!) Let them shout “illegal move!” Let them say we’ll surely lose But what if love is where we belong? “Your move.” “No… our move.” We’re the queens, and we choose our fate No more living by their design We’ll cross the board, we’ll take the risk And meet right on that line Let the kings just sit and stare Let the whole game fall apart Checkmate doesn’t mean a thing When you’ve already won my heart White queen to black queen… …finally, a legal kiss
About this song
This story-driven upbeat pop track uses a chess game allegory to follow two opposing chess queens who reject arbitrary, pre-assigned game rules to choose their love for each other over expected conflict and rigid traditional expectations.

Ja, so was verkrafte ich 😁 ... aber es treffen auch nicht die "Nudity" Präferenzen von allen Leuten hier meinen Geschmack 😅 ... aber insbesondere diejenigen, die meinen Geschmack nicht treffen, scheinen sowieso schon immer die gesammte QT Masterlist anzuschreiben. Ach, lass gut sein, ich muss nicht auf die Spezialliste mit drauf ... die Bilder, die mich interessieren finde ich auch so 😉 , aber danke der Nachfrage.
Thank you so much. I try to make the songs and my stories mainly about love in general. The WLW concept is just my personal way of bringing the idea of love over.
Basically an overall term for "women loving women" the same as the word "sapphic". The terms are more open, could include bi, lesbian etc. Lesbians exclusively like women.
Danke, deshalb hab' ich auch gefragt. Und recht hast du auch, ich versuche da ein wenig vorsichtiger zu sein, denn es gibt ja solche und solche Bilder.

😁 ... aber kommt sicher noch, bei Disney muss ja letzthin alles Vogue und LGBTQ sein 🙄 ... deshalb sind ja ihre letzten Filme auch alle gefloppt 😁
Did an amazing job on it and your other songs too. What does WLW mean? Sorry not familiar with it
Ha, dann müssen sie von mir lernen, hier ist fast alles "Women loving women" und keine flops dabei. 😀
Genau so, klingt es. Allerdings gibt es dort nicht so oft, dass sich zwei Königinnen küssen.
WOW amazing work excellent song I can see this in an adult Disney movie
