when two musicians sing into the same microphone and lean in very close to each other… like omg are you guys gonna kiss now to relieve the homoerotic tension?😳
Last night was so much for my heart. It is still overflowing today. With love, with hope, with joy, with tenderness, with pride.
I’ve gone on so many tangents in my queer induced meltdown since the first posts of ‘it’s the wizard of oz song!’ hit us and we all went “OMG OMG OMG is it HAPPENING?????”
Harry really truly put himself out there last night. A few of you commented on just how big of a moment it was. Because it was BIG, it was Blatant, it was, as I’ve tagged, unapologetically queer, it was joyfully gay.
Truly, truly, how anyone can process last night and think that the person on stage is straight is beyond comprehension, particularly if you are part of fandom and see the posts that provide the direct queer history references for you to fully clear up any confusion.
Like honestly, in world of pretend where Harry is straight, don’t you think the queer people in his life, say like Harry L, might go “hey dude, bro, my pal, dressing up a beloved Gay icon and singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow under Rainbow lights at MSG is a BIT much for a straight ally and more like cultural appropriation, so let’s go in a different direction”.
Harry has many openly queer people in his life who obviously love and support him - who I feel would tell him if he was crossing a line from allyship to appropriation. (Side note - the line woulda been a long time ago). Instead, these people remain joined with him, helping on the journey, sharing messages of encouragement and support. It’s just another way of seeing that these actions are so beyond allyship. This is Queerness. This is pride. Though not openly out, this is Harry being unapologetically himself with the support of his community.
However Harry specifically identifies, it is so abundantly clear that is it not straight. I hope Harry felt every ounce of gay joy we felt sharing in his moment yesterday. He shared something incredibly special with us yesterday. And I hope, whatever dreams he is daring to dream really do come true.
On this incredible anniversary, I want to shine a light on one of my favourite repositories of 1D history… the incredible RBB and SBB website created by @beccasafan.
The bears hold a super special place in my heart, and long before I created a tumblr as was a lowly anon “following” a bunch of your blogs from google, I would freak out with all of you as the bears appeared at concert after concert. In fact I would often anon-message freak out with Becca during the latest bear-related chaos.
A 10 years of One Direction celebration could not possibly be complete without the joy of these little guys. So if you need a little trip down memory lane, click away!
According to sources a new boyband has been formed at Bootcamp with 5 solo contestants thought to be more promising as a group.
The boyband made up of auditionees: Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik
(Liam being one of this years re-auditonee’s)
The boyband are yet unamed.
Previous groups formed at Bootcamp have usually been doomed from the start and although usually making it through to the live shows don’t go much further. Futureproof, Hope and Miss Frank to name the most well known,
Everything about this feels right. Sites crashing. Liam and Niall doing press. Louis and Harry ... just not. Louis making everyone emotional. 1DHQ fucking up so bad that the shitposts start immediately. It’s just right.
