The “You” echoed in Ilya’s ears, pounding along with his blood as he stood. English left Ilya. Everything left Ilya except raging lust and something sharper and more painful that he needed to ignore. “Why does it have to be you?” he said aloud in Russian. “Why are you so perfect? It’s fucking awful.”

oh Louis (the hotel he took a picture of in Sweden is where 1D stayed on their first trip outside the UK when they recorded for their first single and were recognized for the first time and everything began to change)

tell me why noise cancelling headphones & one direction on shuffle is genuinely easing my social anxiety

[speaking of it being 10 years from 1D's hiatus]

louis: "hiatus what a horrible word, cringey innit, so cringey"

scott mills: "you know, it was a long time ago, 'we're going on hiatus'"

louis: "yeahhh screams management doesn't it?"

Hey Gina, did you know / can you believe that the song that was played on BBC Radio 2 just before Scott Mills introduced Louis and his interview today was Tears for Fears’ Everybody Wants To Rule The World 🥺🥺🥺 it’s like the universe knows they belong together 💖

Stop. Was there a recording?

Scott Mills is queer and has known Harry and Louis since the very beginning. He absolutely knows.

Edit: here’s the recording. 😳

It’s always disappointing to see so many queer people blatantly reject Harry’s signaling and be unwelcoming towards him as a member of the community, but it reminds me exactly why this fandom is so important.

This fandom has seen him long before he had the leverage to show even parts of his true self so publicly. This fandom has loved him for each sliver of light he’s allowed into his closet. This fandom has supported him through his heaviest limitations. This fandom is the reason he can fly pride flags every night and joke about queerbaiting on one of the most popular TV shows of all time. This fandom shows him that someone will see, will acknowledge, will support, will love a queerness that is imperfect.

We may have our internal disagreements and our discourse, but never forget that you saw him when there was very little you were permitted to see. We’ve come a long way, guys, and I’m so glad we’re still here. Our 2015 selves (Harry included) would never believe it.
