There are *two* showtunes, if you count The Hamilton Mixtape!

In need of new tunes?   Every year one of my favorite humans on earth, @joslynnyc makes a playlist of her favorite songs of the year and includes liner notes as to why she chose said songs!  There’s quite a few solo 1D songs this year, a bit of pop, and even a (gasp!) showtune!   Download and love.

Get in the Sea , by TheMagicWord                

AU. Louis Tomlinson works on a yacht. Harry Styles is a guest. With sexy results. Harry/Louis | 7k | explicit 

“The rich fucker wasn’t waiting for a towel, looking at Louis like he was a piece of shit or - somehow worse - like he didn’t see him at all. The rich fucker was standing under the shower, head tipped back, water streaming over his skin. And his skin was covered in tattoos. He had his back to Louis, but Louis could see at least three on the back of his left arm. He lifted his arms and pulled something out of his dark hair, before running his fingers through it and letting it fall down his back. Which it did. Halfway down his back. The water ran down it and dripped onto the small of his back and… He was wearing white shorts. Which were now almost transparent. Louis licked his lips and shook his head. Who even was this guy? He would’ve remembered if he’d seen him on board already, he was sure. “

Basically if you are not deeply critical of your own creative endeavors at least some of the time, you are probably either Gilderoy Lockhart or Steven Moffat.

Why aren’t the real perils of fat athleticism ever shown in print or video?

I mean, raise your hand if you’re fat and you’ve ever been disrespected while innocently exercising. Um, me too.

Don’t know what we’re talking about? Close your eyes and imagine our fat woman du jour, smiling while standing next to an elliptical machine. Or maybe she’s gleefully jogging through a random park, bundled up in unnecessarily bulky sweatshirts and baggin, saggin’ sweatpants.

But quick- what’s left out of these shots? How about the other gym patrons, who are usually quick to rudely ogle and/or offer unsolicited advice to our fat heroine. Also left out of the spotlight? The passerby who decides that it’s appropriate to cat-call our heroine while she finishes her jog in the park. On a regular basis, fat athletes are mocked, discriminated, and emotionally assaulted.

So what’s the deal? Are fat women supposed to be grateful for the opportunity to be disrespected? Nah, I don’t think so. Instead of waiting around for the rest of the world get with the program, I’m just going to continue embodying the worst living nightmare of fat shamers and haters.

I will continue to wear sport bras (like this very comfortable and functional little number from Catherine’s) while exercising outdoors. I will continue to show my stretch marks. I will continue to wear cute, form fitting leggings that show off my curves. I shouldn’t have to hide my body because it makes other people uncomfortable.

Furthermore, I don’t need weight loss as a goal in order to enjoy a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle. Wellness isn’t about body size- it’s simply  a commitment to being  a happy and joyful creature, both inside and out. So even when the gym patrons gawk and passerby cat call, I resolve to decline the opportunity to be disrespected. I’m gonna hold my head high and know that I don’t need the approval of people who hate happiness and want to breed negativity. Everything I need in order to be happy and healthy is inside of me.

Louis Tomlinson, Viscount Doncaster, and H. E. Styles, ca. 1815 Thomas Phillips (English, 1770-1845) Watercolor on ivory Oval, 13cm x 9cm

These two complementary portraits show Phillips at the height of his evocative mastery, if not at his most technically proficient. Styles, a minor composer more notorious in his time for his private life than for his craft, commissioned the miniatures for his friend and patron Lord Doncaster in late 1814. In private correspondence Phillips referred to the project as “Mischief and Mildness,” almost certainly an allusion to the temperaments of his subjects. Of their sessions together he wrote to his friend David Wilkie:

…The Viscount would not cease in his flow of Activity, for even a moment, and I was obliged to Cajole him with Sweetmeats, and with pleas to BE STILL, as I do with my Infant subjects: but fortunately Mr. Styles, who is his Intimate, is able to placate him in these Moods, by Teasing him and, by means mysterious, convincing him not to Stir, for minutes at a time, Mirabile Dictu! I must ensure that Mr. Styles attends me in all future sittings, else I fear I shall never have his Lordship’s likeness; a Blur of Motion might I have for a Model, and perhaps the echo of a Witchy Cackle as it vanishes, and nothing more.

The portraits were kept at Doncaster House until its sale out of the family in 1982. They were displayed, before the house’s renovation in the early 1950s, in the master bedroom rather than the gallery – suggesting that the Viscount, if a difficult sitter, was at least an appreciative client.

I always worry, as with T/S/F, about how fandom is portrayed in media projects, but I think this is a chance to support women in film, and possibly put something good in the world about the kick-ass fic writers doing it all.
