so much of what happened holds great significance not only to harry but to every single one of us. him acknowledging the flags, asking the fans to hold them up proudly, and thanking the audience for creating such a safe environment at his shows -- all these things weren't done in solidarity alone, they came from the heart of someone who's very much in the same community as us. he wants those flags there, he wants that pride there, he wants this safe space for both himself and for us, as has been the case for years now. the speech that he gave today came from a place of familiarity, he couldn't have said those words in the way that he did if he were just an ally. it was one of the very few times he acknowledged the flags using his words and i think that's monumental. rainbows are basically synonymous to harry's concerts now and it's because we felt safe and proud enough to do it and he wanted us to do it because he feels safe and proud too. i hope every single person who's been part of this fandom knows just how important whatever you do is. you are all important.

It was a wedding upstate
that rekindled an ache
I thought it would fade, boy
But it keeps coming in waves, boy
we all deserved some closure.

Growing older I've realized that it's not only people that leave ghosts, but things can too. Anything that was once important and vivid, alive as part of life, which was there and is now gone, can leave an almost physical shadow—at my family's lake cabin yesterday I watched my friends jumping off the dock, and noticed they were diving from a place I never do, my sister never does either. When we were children my uncle's boat was moored alongside there, as much a part of our summers as the man who drove it. He never comes to the cabin anymore, my aunt divorced him; the boat was sold. But my sister and I still by habit swim around the boat, as though the invisible frame of it were still floating there. We move through a landscape of the present laid on top of the past, with history and memory repeating in action as well as thought. My friends saw the dock with fresh, innocent eyes, and so they were able to dive right through the ghost of the boat that I saw. I think maybe a haunting is an imprint of love lingering in the fabric of the perceived world, no matter the form, beloved objects just as much as beloved persons lingering beyond their passing away from the present.

I also can't stop thinking about buck on that date. his awkwardness and his desperate attempt to act normal while freaking out. his panic at eddie finding out. his slightly hunched posture. the way he doesn't know what to do with his hands. he is so precious, he's everything to me and more than anything all I want is to watch him come into himself and gain the confidence to take up space as the beautiful bisexual man he is
