The deluge of rainbows and support for Louis in Nashville

To the heroes in Nashville who lined up overnight to get up front by the stage with your amazing rainbow flags and your incredible support for Louis: THANK YOU! I cannot express sufficiently how much you did for all of us. You created a safe and inclusive space for people in that room, and for countless people watching on livesteam tonight and videos from now on. And can I just gush to you about the brilliance of throwing all of your Pride flags toward the stage all at once at the end of his last song? That was genius. So many of us guess that he may not be able to pick up flags from the stage or even acknowledge them without some kind of repercussions from his label perhaps (we don’t know) and he could even be forced to say or do something or have something written on his behalf that makes him seem homophobic, to cover over the “incident” of him waving a Pride flag on stage. We just don’t know. We’ve seen so many things being done to him any time he shows support of any kind for the LGBT community. So we don’t know how he would feel if there were Pride flags laying on the stage all concert long if he would maybe have to pretend to ignore them and wish he didn’t have to. We just don’t know. So the fact that you all gave him an absolute inundation of Pride flags right at the end of his last song… That showed him that you weren’t expecting him to pick them up and wave them at all. You were just showing him unconditional love and support with a deluge of rainbows. Imagine how that would make him feel. I think he got choked up from that moving gesture. You were asking nothing from him. You created inclusion and support for all of the LGBT people in that space. Fans supporting fans, and we know how much Louis loves to see that. You were also fans supporting Louis and singing his newest songs back at him with so much joy. Showing him so much love for his music. And then at the end, giving him your flags without expectation or pressure for him to do anything in return. Just showing him all the love and support. That, my beautiful heroes in Nashville, was AMAZING, and brilliant. Thank you so much!

Sisterwives (E, 32k, abo) by jaerie

This was it, the moment Louis had been waiting for his entire life. Giddy excitement bubbled up as he held hands and stared up at his soon-to-be alpha and husband and grinned. The ceremony was small and simple, but Louis didn’t mind. Fresh flowers pinned into his hair and a brand new outfit was all he needed to feel special in front of their few witnesses. It was just some members of his family and a few of the church elders in attendance as was customary for any marriage beyond the first wife within the faith.

First wives were the ones to have elaborate weddings with the whole community involved. An alpha’s first wedding was a celebration of an their coming of age, his first steps into fulfilling God’s prophecy. There were many glories for an omega that came with being a first wife but also many responsibilities. Louis had never aspired to be a first wife or even a second. He wasn’t experienced enough to be the leader of an alpha’s many wives and children and he didn’t think he’d be up to the task.

Louis was just fine in the position he was stepping into as the seventh.

Or Louis thinks he's getting everything he's ever dreamed of. Harry helps him find what makes him truly happy.

tomlinshires replied to your post “what would y’all like to see from the thick alpha verse in the future?...”

Other people finding Harry attractive and Louis being reasonably jealous about it. Bc Louis isn’t a martyr or saint for thinking Harry is cute, or the only man in the world that would find a fat man attractive. Harry is a CATCH ��

this is a bit connected to my last ask but oh 100%, Harry is so charming and sweet and also ridiculously handsome so a lot of people fall for him quickly and he gets plenty of attention from baristas, uber drivers, the occasional co-worker. usually he gets a bit flustered and embarrassed about it, and Louis is always low/high key jealous and always holds his hand a little harder and gets more cuddly when they’re out and someone is paying a bit too much attention to Harry. He’s fully aware his man is a whole ass meal but he also knows that he’s the only one Harry has his eye on and he’s a bit too proud of that every time harry has to politely turn down a stranger

These are 5 of my favorite 1D fan artists! I have so many favorites, so I’m going to try to post each month about different artists for the monthly 1D Fanworks Appreciation Day. You can find previous month’s artists here and here. Please remember to support our artists in whatever way you can!

@tomlinshires

Gina’s art is so entwined in my brain with some of my favorite fics. She’s done so many incredible pieces, but for me my favorites have been ones she’s done for fan fictions. I’m just always in awe of how she captures these beautiful snapshots of fics. They’re always such an arrow through the heart. You can find Gina’s art here on her blog. My favorites can be found here, here, and here. Her instagram can be found here, and her Society 6 page can be found here. Gina is also participating in the 1D Fanworks For Charity auction, and information about what she’s auctioning off can be found here! 

@easy-i

I just don’t understand how one person can come up with so many different ideas for edits! Easy is so amazing, and my blog is basically a part easy-i appreciation blog for how many of easy’s Louis edits I have posted there! You can find easy-i’s edits here. It’s going to be so hard to pick a favorite edit, but I think maybe this is my favorite because I always love the pinkfest edits! Also, soon you’ll be able to donate to Stonewall for a chance to win a tshirt designed by easy!

@olga-g87

Ahhhh if you haven’t seen Olga’s art, please check it out. It’s so incredibly amazing and distinctive and bold. You can find all posted art here. My favorite piece is a series, an ongoing Larry comic that’s been translated to English thank goodness for me. It’s completely blowing my mind! You can find the comic here. If you want to show your support through Patreon, you can find that link here! 

@styleandsin

Oh man, Kayla is talented at so many things that it isn’t fair really. She writes sweet and lovely fics, but this is supposed to be about her art, so here is a link to all the gifs and edits and manips and graphics she makes! I don’t know where to start with my favorite, but one that I really love is this angel Louis manip. I also really love the larry social media au manips she creates that make me want to write fic about them. lol. My favorite of those is probably the grey sweatpants, but it was too hard to choose. haha. She will also be participating in the @1dfanworksforcharity auction for both fic and art!

@hazstylestrash

Kris is just like...a monster...or an angel?? idk some kind of mythical being though. I mean you should probably just click on her blog and look at her manips and edits. The whole thing is art. I have spent an absurd amount of time on her blog before. I didn’t even have to think for one second about what my favorite manip she’s made is because I commissioned her to make it. haha and you’re all welcome for my obsession with drummer Louis. Please look at it and admire its beauty. If you want to show your support, you can find out more here. Kris is also participating in the 1d Fanworks For Charity auction and you can find out more about what she’s auctioning off here!

Hppy birthday gina!!!! Here’s to another year of love and and wonderful art and savage photography critiques (though for your birthday present the photographer should be replaced). ((Side note my name’s Gina and my birthday is almost the same as yours (yesterday) and I’m an artist, coincidence??? Wild??))

STOPPP??? Seriously? I didn’t know it was your birthday yesterday (but I did know the other two things)! No wonder I like you so much. LOL! I hope you had a wonderful birthday yourself!!! And, sadly, I do not think I will be getting that birthday present, but one can hope. 😆

[myownsparknow]

Listen. It's been a long day and it's getting late in my country and my wifi sucks but I needed to tell you; you had NO RIGHT to write something as beautiful as that No One Like You fic. It was pure art (no put intended). I couldn't stop reading and it got me all teary eyed at the end. One of my favorites, absolutely ❤❤❤

Ooooh, wow, that is so nice of you to come find me and tell me such wonderful things about my fic! (And that was a good pun, I see what you did there!)

I’m so glad you liked it. @tomlinshires had a great idea, and I was so happy I could snatch her prompt up and give her art a story. 

Thanks again for your message, it’s awesome!  xoxo
