so i wanted to make a post about harry and orchids, since he chose that as his visual during she on this leg of love on tour. there i was, expecting to find pages after pages of symbolism on orchids and how they represented sensitivity, femininity, elegance, whatever. no, it's just. it's. it couldn't be more harry if i tried:

versus

the orchid. a flower many disagree upon whether it looks like testicles or a vagina. for SHE. the song where the man pretends to know what he's doing with his life but really wants to sail out to sea and never return bc all he can think about is that where he stands, where he sleeps, it's really she.

the orchid. a flower that is so widespread across the globe that every culture has a different meaning attached to it. spread wide open for interpretation. it can go from love to sex to femininity to fertility to complexity.

the visuals on harry's screen are delicate. they echo along with the chorus, whenever the word 'she' is iterated. the positioning of the screen might even remind one (me) of a pair of legs, open wide, revealing their most intimate parts (esp in the first pic in this post). and then there's harry, standing right at the centre. middle of the stage, singing these lyrics.

she lives in daydreams with me she's the first one that I see and I don't know why I don't know who she is lives for the memory a woman who's just in his head and she sleeps in his bed while he plays pretend

#i beg you to click the link to that post about flowers looking like vaginas #my posts #harry and orchids #love on tour #she on tour #she #just making sure i'll find this post in the future lol #our mermaid #harry and gender

The funniest thing in the world to me is when people write mermaids that are bothered by humans eating fish. Like do you think fish don’t eat each other? The ocean is full of little freaks that will eat whatever or whoever the fuck will fit in their mouths. If the mermaids haven’t been eating fish this whole time what do you think they’ve been eating? If the answer is humans, that doesn’t make it any less funny. They’ll eat the species that looks like the top half of them but won’t eat a species that looks like the bottom half? Peak comedy.

#mermaids #mythical creatures #edit:#okay a lot of you have had good ideas about why mermaids possibly would be bothered by humans eating fish #so i will amend my original statement to say it’s funny and it doesn’t make any sense #unless you outright in-universe explain it #like don’t just fall back on the excuse of bUT tHeIR OUr unDERsEa BrOTherS #make it a part of their culture or physiology #if they haven’t been eating fish explain what they HAVE been eating and why #make it interesting

Can I also say how touching it is that Stede said he believed Ed would he happier without him, who, even in his fantasies, could only picture Ed wanting him as a picture of masculinity with a beard and no hesitation to kill. Stede still, deep down, doesn't understand why Ed would ever want him as he is.

But who did Ed see coming down to rescue him? It wasn't a manly recreation of Stede with a beard, masculine style and a killing spirit, it was a merman. Someone bright, colourful, by all accounts a rather feminine perception of Stede.

That was who rescued Ed. It wasn't who Stede thought he needed to be, it was someone soft, and bright, and graceful, and expressive. Someone feminine, someone queer.

I just think that's beautiful.

Ah mmmm well

You know how in mermaid stories, the mermaid is typically the dumber one? I present to you the "and they were both scientists" plot.

Basically the concept is that mermechs and regular mechs can't talk to each other. But luckily even if they speak different languages they still use the same math~

I discovered a bunch of simpatico mer-fics. So. I wanted to do something with this concept too haha. If some physicist happens to read this - feel free to laugh at me. I know nothing about science👍

I don’t know if I’ll continue this thing. Should I. Idk. It’s midnight I might be going crazy lol. I made that cover anyway bc I love making covers hehe

[Next]->

#transformers #maccadam #our language of science #listen #Im not insane I swear #I mean I’m not THAT insane haha #mermaid mechs are fucking weird but l i s t e n Arachnid from tfp is basically the same #she’s like…half humanoid half spider #she has this mode without her humanoid legs #which is basically makes her..like…centaur. But spider. Spider centaur. Or spider mermaid #half of her body is humanoid and half is spider. And I’m going to use this knowledge for my defence okay??#Because if she can have her spider half then other mechs can do the similar thing. In theory #okay I’m done proving the right of my vision to live #mtmte #lost light #perceptor #tf perceptor #brainstorm #tf brainstorm #simpatico #Chromedome #tf chromedome #yeah the whole world thinks mermaids are stupid but listen #I want smart mermaids okay. I want them to have their whole hidden civilisation. To be scientists #engineers #you know #I’m tired of (oh human need to teach this fish) I want the fish to be teaching the human #Btw Brainstorm basically found a mistake Perceptor made #ahahahehe #okay I’m done I need to get some sleep

hiii

i wanted to ask your opinion about a thought i had released to Harry's gender and bc you are the one person who I've seen analyzes lyrics and a lot of the time on a gender queer lense and also are genderqueer yourself i thought you might help answer my question as a simple cis person.

the other day i was on Twitter and i saw a video of beautiful prince hair harry singing and dancing to steal my girl and the caption was something like “i would also write songs about her” or something like that and then my brain thought:

would it be possible that hearing all the songs Louis was writing about him but with she/her pronouns helped harry in a way to realize or accept the fact that he maybe liked being referred to that way?

idk I've always assumed that it was most posible that it was around that time when harry started to question more his gender expression and identity, when he started expressing himself a bit more with clothes and even sometimes wearing nail polish...

i hope I'm not being disrespectful, like i said, I'm cis so i have no idea but i just liked the thought that something that could've hurt him like having to hear the songs that were written for him changed to fit the closet they are in, ended up actually somehow helping him coming to terms with another part of himself he was just finding

hey!! you're not disrespectful at all, i actually love this question, bc it's 100% something ive thought too!

it's clear from back then that harry loves the songs written about him, especially steal my girl. it must have been something that was growing and they were discovering, and i do think it must have been a push and pull in terms of emotions around pronouns in songs!! it could have been a bit of a joke at first, to write so explicitly about a girl - basically making fun of their own discography then - but then harry clearly loved it. he adores that song and revels in the fact that it was written about him, and not in a "haha this is a joke" kind of way, but really in a "i am the girl!! it's me!!!" kinda way. i do think louis picked up on that way before harry even knew what it meant, hell, even way before louis knew what it meant. so he wrote his possessive anthem to the long-term love of his live, his cute little princess. and that freedom to play with those pronouns, that femininity, even if it was under the guise of keeping the boyband as straight as possible, must have been an enormously powerful gift for harry. it probably made it a lot easier for him to recognize the positive emotions he had around gender!!
