#themed weekends

I started Themed Weekends back in the great Hrought of 2015, and we’ve continued year after year, changing out members as others have left Tumblr or haven’t had the time to continue preparing themes.

Our current team is in that same boat: not really able to continue TW with the exception of yours truly. But there’s no way I can do it alone. So now I’m at that space where I have to decide if it’s worth it to continue Themed Weekends or let them die.

#NoOtherMan

On a random Sunday in late September 2016, Harry posted three white boxes on his Instagram. The next day, he posted THREE covers of Another Man magazine. It was the beginning of the Harry Styles solo era, and heralded the end of the first Hrought six months later with the release of HS1.

For months, the interviews from Another Man were read and reread. The images were edited and recreated by Harrie artists across the globe. It was our first glimpse at the solo artist and his dreams, and we devoured every page.

In an effort to end the current Hrought, your Themed Weekends team is conjuring up all of the images, interviews, and stories from the 2016 Fall Another Man magazine along with the party to celebrate its release. Join @ihearthes on 19-20 October for a celebration of our man, Harry Styles, because #NoOtherMan will do.

This weekend we are hopping in the Time Machine to revisit this week in Harry History!

X Although we have been living through a very extensive drought, historically the third week of September has been jam packed with content! Follow @chasm2018 this weekend 21-22 September for #TBWeek: September15-21. We will reminisce about movie premieres, love on tour shows, magazine shoots and so much more.

Thanks for helping us keep morale up until Harry comes back!

You've been ASSking for it, and we've been exposed to your requests, so this weekend, we're doing it! Are you feeling the effects of the Hrought? Don't be bummed. We miss him too, which is why we think we have a theme everyone can get behind. But don't ASSume you've seen this before! It wasn't even a hASSle to put it together.

(x) We've got an ASSortment of cheeky photos and gifs that will ASStound you. In fact, they will meet your every fantASSy. Don't miss out on July 6-7 as @ihearthes celebrates that #BodaciousBum! This theme will ASSasinate you with all of its mASSterful Hontent.

Here in the northern hemisphere it’s hard to believe we are about to start our fifth (5th!) Watermelon Sugar Summer. Judging by how much I’ve begun to hear it while out and about, it’s clearly here to stay as a summer favorite.

This weekend, 1-2 June, @chasm2018 will be hosting #WatermelonWeekend. We will take a trip back in time to the song and music video’s releases as well as revisit some iconic performances over the years. Let’s give Tumblr that summer feelin’! 🍉 🌈 ❤️

Magical. Wistful. Intimate. Emotional. Harry Styles (the album) is a masterpiece that reflects the parts of Harry’s personality hidden from prying eyes. In a world where many artists feel pressured to reveal everything publicly, it’s rare to find an artist who chooses to only share his most private thoughts via his songs. Yet that’s what Harry has done. 

His debut album is reminiscent of classic rock, yet distinct and brave in a way that few musicians dare in today’s world. The sound is nostalgic and timeless. It’s bold, honest, and tender. His vulnerability should be a beacon to everyone who hears it, calling “Be yourself!”

It’s a thrill to bring you this weekend dedicated to the album that deserves all of the honors it has received – and many it didn’t, but should have (Yeah, I’m looking at you, Recording Academy). Harry Styles by Harry Styles will be remembered and enjoyed for decades to come.  When he’s inducted into the Rock and Rock Hall of Fame for his career, Harry will sing Sign of the Times, and I will beam with pride.

At the very first notes of MMITH, I knew the whole album was brilliant and unique. Everything on radio sounds the same. But a song from HS1 will circulate into rotation, and I stop what I’m doing to listen. It demands that kind of attention. 

There’s a song on the album that speaks to every possible emotion we might feel. Which is remarkable because he only has ten songs, you know.
