The Changer and the Changed by homosociallyyours with art by @pattern-pals

girl direction, mature, 60k, complete

It’s the spring of 1977 and Harry Styles has just moved to New York City after graduating college. She knows she’s a lesbian. She just needs to figure out how to meet other lesbians.

Louis Tomlinson works at a popular women’s bookstore in the Lower East Side, Womon’s Direction, where she spends her days reading feminist literature, writing poetry, exchanging friendly barbs with her boss Niall, and dreaming of finding someone to love.

When Harry and Louis meet, their connection is instantaneous. Slowly but surely, Louis welcomes Harry into her community of women. Stonewall veteran and old school butch Niall; Liam, a land dyke who’s moved to the city for love; and Zayn, a lesbian musician who’s been ostracized by a vocal part of women’s community for being trans, welcome Harry with open arms, ready to help her find her place in New York City’s bustling lesbian scene.

It’s a time of growth for everyone involved.

#I see you making the rounds cute question asker anon and I love you! #such a sweet thing to do #I can never think of anything to ask people you're doing amazing sweetie

[statementlou]

Hey,just wanted to share coz it's bugging me but I always see posts like hope louis gets recognition he deserves after he does any xyz activity n I know it all comes from getting that validation for him. As a fan, we want him to have everythinf but I feel like people always make these high expectations in head n when it do not match their level, they still feel Louis is unknown/non famous. I think he is at very balanced level of fame if I really think where most artists might love to be!!!

anon you are so so right! I reblogged a post about the itunes chart earlier but I will admit I sort of waffled for a second about reblogging it, knowing how people get about it all (before I was like oh dude who cares, it's just information and fun to be like 'our power! damn"... ) Louis didn't write a whole manifesto about changing his priorities and then repeat the same things 100 times over the last years about how much fun he is having making the music he likes instead of chasing those markers of success and how he is just loving life playing shows for everyone, to still be going on about radio play! Honestly his level of fame seems amazing, he can play arenas and STADIUMS, he can get booked to headline festivals, and win awards, and get a million articles about his new record, and he can also chill at Barney's to play pool and fly commercial, you know? Like yes, he keeps going for more more more cause he wants those big crowds and well, why not go for it, but I think he's also pretty happy with how things are and he's not wasting his time trying to get top 40 play anymore cause why bother? He's getting the good parts without it! The man is THRIVING, and honestly as a fan so am I, if some people choose to find things to worry about well... feel free I guess. But I can't think why!

Do you collect vinyl? What are your favourite records that you own?

I DO and so many! I have hundreds and I got rid of like a third of my collection a few years ago so the result is that everything I still have is something I actually really want. It's funny I just moved all of them from one place to another like 2 hours ago (not a common occurrence) so I was looking at some random ones on the way like ooh hey you... oh and that, and this! But for us I'll go with a few that will ping for people here, which are number one the Louis Just Hold On rock version single with lyrics etched in the B side which was not sold in the US and it was SUCH A HASSLE to get without paying a million dollars for it but I CHERISH IT (even though it's not that great a recording of the song :/) and the hot pink 2LP Icarus Falls, that album is so dear to me and I wanted to own a physical copy of it so bad but it didn't come out on vinyl at release but then randomly years later it did?!? It's beautiful and it's the way the album is supposed to be with the two halves separated, perfect, listening to just the Falls half is transcendent honestly. Also the Sign of the Times single, and signed Walls, but I will forever regret not getting the Lights Up single I want it so bad :(

#they way I finally got the JHO single: bought a bundle of a bunch of stuff including it from australia for like $200 #then resold the other things in the bundle (shirt picture disc other versions of walls I forget what all...) #but kept that. it worked out. but the distance it all traveled! the records all flying back and forth all over the world! the ts of records #if anyone wants to trade me smth for a lights up single I got stuff!!!! I would do it! #why and how do you own so MANY records bander you may ask no I'm not wealthy #I'm just old and an ex punk so I've been getting everything on vinyl and being nerdy about records since I started owning any music at all

[statementlou]

the thing with the live album is that I can't sing along with it because I just want to hear his voice. like it's different with a studio album...i sing along every second but this...i start and then i'm like 🤐...👂!

#yeah... it's just so CLEAR and pure!! #like a mountain stream

I love how in Silver Tongues LIVE you can tell the exact moment he goes to the barricade by the change in the tone and type of background screaming.

#I love that #thank you for that steve!! you can tell it was a choice mixed in deliberately #because you can't hear it when the pyro goes off which also gets a big crowd sound live

Louis Tomlinson has dropped a surprise new album, ‘LIVE’.

The release – out digitally now, with physical versions following on 23rd August – features 15 songs, each recorded in a different city during his last few years of touring.

Louis says: “I’ve been lucky enough to spend the last 3 years touring the world twice over. The feeling I get sharing those live moments will be with me forever. To be able to record these songs from all over the world and put them out as an album like this feels so special, and a real tribute to the fans who make each and every show feel unique and incredible. Thank you! Enjoy!”
