For the first time ever, a fully produced version of “Not Alone” is here. The song and shirt will only be available for the next 14 days through www.represent.com/darrencriss . Many of you have been wondering for years where a full-length album is. I can promise that while I’ve been continually working towards putting one out, I have equally been primarily focused on making it a body of work that I’m proud of. As such, I have in fact, written and recorded dozens of songs, but a majority of them haven’t felt quite ready. However, a track that always stood out on its own was a full studio version of “Not Alone.” Thanks to Represent, we’ve found a unique way to release this song, that will help in this goal of putting out a full album.
I’ve been thinking a lot about my experience in Sheffield.
And I think the biggest thing I took away from it all was that this was my One Direction.
I was lucky enough to go to the shows on both the 30th and 31st. Different feelings belonging to both nights. Going to the gig on the 30th allowed me to experience the one on the 31st exactly as I wanted to. Just focused on being in that time and place, not taking many photos or videos as I had at other gigs, or during the night before, as much as I enjoy doing that. As a veteran of many concerts, it’s almost second nature for me to document those times, without even thinking about it, but I, like many others I think, on the night of the 31st, felt like we were about to experience something different from those other gigs, and just wanted to take a breath and be present within it all.
I’d already been to see the tour in London and had met up with and connected with fellow fans and with members of Rainbow Direction there, which made me feel happy with anticipation and at ease at the planned fan meet-up on the 31st. We met, our little motley crew, for a late lunch and pre-show drinks, chatting easily, tight hugs for those who had met before, ready smiles and ears for those making new acquaintance, exchanging stories (I’d been lucky enough to get a selfie with SBB the night before, which is tale that I happily regaled, amongst others), and soon enough we were sharing urls, and despite what some people may think, not really talking very much about ships, beyond some general discourse about the press treatment of certain situations, and consequently, treatment of the fans, both inside and outside the fandom, with us all by and large mostly poking fun at ourselves and at much of what goes on around us, as we’re often wont to do, knowing that not many people would get exactly why such a diverse group of people found themselves together on a late autumn night in a small city in northern England, having travelled from far and wide to be there. We were sharing this day, and we were sharing our moments.
And I felt so safe doing that.
Because there’s a shorthand that comes from finding and being within a group of people who understand you without you having to say very much at all. We talk a lot about safe spaces, but I think a lot of people underestimate what that means and how very important it is. It just becomes words, too often misused. Words that some people find it easy perhaps to dismiss, or sneer at, or to misunderstand how much it means to the people who need them. But that group of people made me feel safe. And so often in my life I don’t feel safe, or like I can truly be myself, or perhaps understood just as myself, but on this night I did. I really did.
We decorated each other with rainbows, surely to the bemusement of those regular pub goers who probably didn’t know quite what to make of us, took our pictures, and exchanged final hugs and smiles before heading off to our respective seats right across the arena. One trip to check in with the bears later and I was in my seat mere rows from the stage for the second night in a row, wondering how I’d gotten so lucky to be there at a time when I so very much needed it. The whole show was at turns thrumming with energy, just that little difference in the air from those that had gone before, jokes and smiles with family and with us, mixed in with the feeling of a very long day coming to an end. Just this era of One Direction. All of us knowing that we and they would be moving forward into a new place, whatever is to come in the future. Not bad, just different.
I had already started to feel the lump in the back of my throat during WMYB. Something about the song that brought them to the worlds notice, a song that they and we often joke about being so sick of hearing, and yet it was those few notes, cracked voices and well worn melody, that had my throat beginning to close up. Act My Age, in its turn, had made me smile so much, Liam having such fun with his Dad, and all of them and us, caught up in the joy of it all. By the time Niall started talking about his love for the boys, tears had formed in my eyes, and by the time they all hugged together I was full on crying, and hugging Nicole, who had given me her spare ticket, allowing me to be there in the first place, and I was just so grateful to be there for that night and for that moment. It was enough. The boys were together and so were we, and nothing else mattered. My heart felt a little pang for Zayn, because it always will, but I thought of him just then, and of the last time I’d seen them all hug together onstage, that last night at Wembley Stadium, and I remembered. All of the good times. Us and them.
And then it happened. I wasn’t even conscious of taking pictures at that point. I idly had my phone in my hand to capture a few snaps here and there when the lighting interested me, and this particular one I just took without even more than glancing at it as my eyes were riveted to the stage and the love playing out in front of us. Just a snapshot of a moment of existence. Just a moment before a moment. My eyes were fixed on Louis’ face because I could see it so clearly, the simple lift of his shoulders, the play of emotions across his features, and just like that I knew it was going to happen, and it was going to be fine, just as I think so many of us did in that fingersnap of a moment. Liam was talking, and heartbeats were raised at the hugs they were all exchanging, but my focus remained on Louis and for a few seconds it felt like everything slowed down, a cliché indeed, but it did. The noise all faded into the background and it just felt wonderfully calm.
The hug was like a stitch in the fabric of time.
It took me back to all the things that drew me here in the first place, began on a long ago night watching The X Factor. The bright smiles and hopes of five boys, and the joy of watching the men that they became. The songs that made me hum along long after I’d forgotten how to sing, and just the something, the something, that made me look twice at the lives of strangers, and in turn find new friends that I needed more than I knew.
I had mentioned to one such newly made friend in our group earlier that day, that I often feel a disconnect with One Direction when I hear someone else mention them in public, see a newspaper headline, hear a song on the radio, or see someone wearing a t-shirt. It feels like they’re fans of a different band entirely. And in a way they are. Everyone experiences fandom differently, taking and giving to it as they need to, but it can be disconcerting to realise how many people simply experience 1D as the brand, not the band, and even less, as the people who make up the band. Not that I fool myself that any of us know the boys better than anyone else. They remain strangers to us all, because we still only see glimpses of their lives, no matter how much we think otherwise. The difference is, I hope, that we just happen to realise that there is more to them than what we see and what we’re shown. And we’re here for all that and the in-between.
So Louis and Harry hugged. And in that moment, in the wash of emotion that followed, we were together and so were they. The sheer volume of noise and joy that ran through that arena was unlike anything else I’ve ever experienced, as we held to each other and to all the love around us. It was just a hug. And to some people, in those thousands there, and beyond, it may have meant nothing. But to me, and to so many others there that night, it meant everything. Those who were there will know what I mean, and those who weren’t, I hope you will understand that I felt like you were there with us. We’re more than one night, one moment, or one hug in the face of fandom fractures and malicious media reports. We’re like a tapestry, threads of measure pulled together, worn and faded in parts, but still a kind of art, our colours melded, made stronger by the way we’re woven together.
To the Sheffield Survivors Club, I’ll never forget you, the tearful hugs and rum-laced toasts we shared in that little pub afterwards will stay with me forever, (as will how cheap our breakfast was the next morning). And to the boys, thank you for just being you. This is not the end.
This was my One Direction.
That moment, that hug, that was theirs, a hug made up of the road that brought them there. But the love we felt in that moment, all of us, of whispered breaths and shouted emotions, in those handful of beautiful seconds, that was ours. Because we’re all on a road too, but more than anything in that moment, I felt like I wasn’t on it alone. Perhaps I never was.
Random Sheffield memory: Standing outside a pub at midnight saying goodbye to everyone when someone randomly shouts THE BEARS HAVE TWEETED and a group of twenty adults panicking and scrambling to find their phones within 0.01 seconds
Yeah that rings a bell.

Today’s Action: Thank Tim Miller and Ryan Reynolds for the pansexual visibility in the new Deadpool movie
Tim Miller, director of the upcoming action movie Deadpool based on the identically named Marvel Comics, confirmed yesterday that anti-hero character Deadpool is going to be pansexual in the movie.
In an interview for Collider, the director wanted fans to know that despite all the sexuality portrayed in the movie, Deadpool does not represent “a very hypersexualized” character, but a pansexual one. “I want that quoted. Pansexual Deadpool”, said Tim Miller.
The actor that is going to give life to Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds, also said in the interview that some of the scenes are a little excessive for a comic book movie and that they were afraid that their studio was going to crush some of the scenes. But Reynolds also said that so far their studio has been supportive of their ideas.
In 2013, one of the comic book writers, Gerry Dugan, had already confirmed via Twitter that the comic character was omnisexual or pansexual. Fabian Nicieza, co-creator of the comics, also stated that Deadpool is not sexuality dismissive, but it’s inclusive. This made Deadpool one of the few characters in the Marvel universe to be LGBTQ+ which caused some buzz about the character in these last few years.
For Today’s Action, we would like to see you go on the Deadpool Movie Twitter to thank Tim Miller and Ryan Reynolds or retweet our message about the movie here.
Thank You to #TimMiller and @VancityReynolds for making the main @deadpoolmovie character pansexual and increasing #LGBTQ+ visibility!

#LOOK AT LOUIS NODDING TO HARRY BEFORE THEY DO#REMEMBER HOW HARRY ENCOURAGED LOUIS TO HOLD HIS HAND DURING THE M&G#THIS IS LOUIS ENCOURAGING HARRY TO GO FOR THE HUG#THEY FIT#THEY ARE BEST WHEN THEY’RE TOGETHER x
I think it’s a combination of these two things! I saw another angle and Harry is watching Louis while hugging Liam. Then Harry makes a beeline for Louis and Louis gives that “MIGHT AS WELL!” nod which is just SO full of meaning like people who aren’t controlled don’t have to think before they hug someone, they don’t have to consider it or weigh the costs. But Louis did, maybe even only for a split second. Harry however. He was 100% going to hug Louis no matter what.

OHHHHHH…. DAN IS PISSED OFF.
Yea, this is what happens when you poke a snake with a sharp stick. It attempts to strike back. This is Dan Wootton calling Ben Winston the “ultimate celebrity hanger-on”.
What does that make Dan? The “ultimate bottom feeder”?
