Ouchy ouchhhhh fell somewherez...

Good morning anon

Thanks for your thoughts. There's quite a lot in this, and surprisingly to precisely no one I have thoughts, so I'm probably just going to focus on the main points.

I do think that when an artist grows in popularity in the way that Harry has over the past few years that fans who have been around for a long time or who run fan blogs, and therefore often have high level of engagement with everything they do, have a lot of difficulty adjusting. Part of that likely comes down to how fans interpret different types of engagement. I don't think this is unusual and I don't think that it's inherently an issue if folk are able to recognise but that recognition doesn’t seem to be happening here.

I am not a fan of large gig venues, I'm always going to prefer venues of less than 2,500 people - the smaller the better personally. That means that if I want to see Harry (and I suspect after this tour, Louis) again I either go anyway or I don't right and whichever of those I chose is fine and if I go, and I don't have a good time I think it is important for fans to be have space to say 'I didn't enjoy this as much as x' or 'I don't think I'd go and see Harry again because y'. Where the issue arises for me, is when you start to make that a problem that Harry should solve. Ultimately I choose what I engage with and Harry chooses what he does.

Now let's apply that to beards - I think fans having space to say things like 'I don't like the way this relationship is being so heavily focused on because x' or I don't want to engage with media on Harry or Louis' relationships any more' is really important.

I also think it's really important that if you're having a negative reaction to something to think about why and then you can draw some boundaries. But a lot of the discourse around both Harry and Louis (but I am going to focus on Harry here) shows a real lack of interest in how the world works, the reality of being closeted, and a downright denial to acknowledge that they have agency here.

The position Harry has managed to create for himself continues to fascinate me, and while I think it's likely this relationship with Olivia was borne out of more traditional movie PR tactics (which are very fucking common people) it is useful to look at what Harry is also working on (ie My Policeman) and think about why such an act of heterosexuality might be required if he is to retain the ability to perform that he has at the moment.

Now in all of this my concern over how Olivia is treated by fans is actually far less to do with Olivia herself and far more to do with the implications of the level of misogyny that's being directed at her and what that tells us about the level of hatred being directed at a woman for her existence. I am pretty confident Olivia is capable of looking after herself, she's been in that industry long enough that I have no doubt she has encountered a whole range of misogynistic assholes, and if she's not what then I am saying in my little corner of the internet will not do anything to help. Equally, my concerns about the demands placed on Harry are ultimately less about Harry and are more about demands on artists and on queer people, in terms of how they should be representing themselves and at what point you might consider them to be queer enough.

So he’s behind Mickey, two fingers deep. Then three. Then he slides in his pinky really giving him that good stretch. Mickey’s already falling apart when he hears Ian take off that watch and he’s immediately panting, hyperventilating, from the anticipation alone.

“Yeah, you ready for it, baby? So greedy for all of it, aren’t you?” And Ian rounds out his fingers already buried inside and tucks his thumb underneath and eases it in. Goes real slow, giving Mickey plenty of time to adjust around the widest part of his knuckles. Showering him in praise as he watches Mickey’s hole open up and take it all. Mickey’s sweating through deep, relaxing breaths until Ian finally slips all the way in.

And Ian can’t shut up about how fucking hot Mickey looks taking him all the way up to that watch-less wrist, how fucking good he is at this. His other hand rubs soothing circles over the small of Mickey’s back while Mickey’s body starts to relax around his still fist. Then Mickey start getting squirmy, wiggling his ass around, testing it out a bit before completely surrendering to the oh so full stretch and thrusting back onto Ian with high-pitched, needy whines.

Ian definitely takes a picture of himself wrist deep into that perfect ass because he wants every single one of their followers to see just how good his boyfriend can take it even though he knows there’s no way that’s one they’ll ever actually share.
