Why is it always ‘queer people are projecting their identities onto characters’ and never ‘straight people are presuming that their identity is the default’?
it’s honestly haunting in a way how the song harry wrote for the end of tour was just an instrumental piano ballad? like he’s been trying to wrap his mind around his life the last two years and all the ups and downs and it feels so all consuming and he can’t find the words for it yet so he’s just sitting at his piano working through all of his emotions and i just will be trying to process this forever 🥹
"I will remember this evening and all of this for the rest of my life.
Thank you for letting me be a part of this. Thank you for being amazing. Thank you for everything.
I have people here tonight who have supported me in so many ways over the past 13 years in which you can only imagine. I would not be on this stage without them and their love and support.
My family are here tonight. My friends are here tonight. Thank you for my family! I was doing so well! Thank you for the support. Thank you for loving me the way that you have. My friends are here tonight: thank you for having my back, always. I love you all so much - thank you. I have a lot of things to feel incredibly lucky for in life, but I feel the luckiest with my friends' support. It allows me to do this. I am so full right now: I have never been happier in my entire life.
Secondly [faces band] - to you all. Thank you so much for doing this with me. That you trust me. Thank you for giving your time, your energy - this show is what it is because of everything you've done every night.
The last two years of my life....the last two years of this tour has been the greatest experience I could ever ask for. It has been an honour playing for the most wonderful, emotionally generous group of people. The future that I see standing before me. I don't get to do this if you guys don't come - thank you for being here to nigh. I know you want to make it special for me, but you make it special every night. Whatever this feeling is that you feel in this crowd tonight, I feel it. What you create together is the most inspiring thing I've ever seen in my life. The atmosphere you have created, the family you have created - the safe space you have created.
Thank you for everything. I know feeling so incredibly small in this world can be really, really difficult sometimes but you can do anything. I see it all the time in the little things you do, the way you treat each other in the crowd.
I see it - the love - in how its affected all the people around me. Continue to affect people. It does not end with this tour. It doesn't end when this tour ends. Put some love into the world: it really needs it right now. I love you and I'll miss you.
Not only have you changed my life, you have made me the happiest. I am so thrilled. I am so happy. There's lots of emotions tonight - it's been a long time and I just wanna thank you very seriously for what this has been to me. You've changed my life.
None of you are alone. Look around. Look at how many people there are here. We're all the same. I love you. Thank you so, so much."
