More proof that Harry Styles would like us to discuss consent/sexual abuse via Lights Up:
Their book rec via Rolling Stone (Lisa Taddeo's Three Women), the Clockwork Orange references in the Fine Line/Tim Walker shoot, or this intentional intrv answer... #heautifulharries 1/11

Or the artist's they reference in the "Revolution 8" issue of Beauty Papers magazine. Here are a few works by Tracey Emin & some insight on the "hard candy" reference in Kiwi (written right after Cowell marketed his EP grooming/preying on them to tabloids to promote 1D) (2/11)
Might also be a good time to acknowledge why the http://visiteroda.com copyright is peculiarly set as 2004/2005. It's the year the X Factor was launched, and when Epstein's little black book, hidden island & first child trafficking conviction all became public knowledge. 3/11
Oh and "Fine Line" was released on 12/13/2019, exactly one year before their contract with Syco actually expires. Cowell can't see the trans & intersex pride flags they are subversively using during the Fine Line era (FL btwn real freedom/subversive queer code), but we can! 4/11
They contractually cannot tell us otherwise. They changed their pronouns to they/them from he/him on Facebook right before the FL era began. They can't say it in words. So they speak via their art. Let's do the leg work and choose not to assume we know their gender OR sex. 5/11
The single earring at the Met Gala (seen again in Eroda) is also a coded expression of queerness in defiance of the "indecency clause" in their contract (see Lance Bass' history). If you believe management can control the #larry narrative, believe & acknowledge this too . 6/11
Also not labeling your sexuality is inherently queer. Harry Styles is a queer artist. That isn't assuming their sexuality. "Straight" is a label. "Queer" describes the refusal of one. (It's also a synonym for peculiar, the word used to describe "The Boy" from Eroda) 7/11
Look at the art from Fine Line. They're watching what we say about them & asking us not to underestimate their intelligence. Interviews are just marketing. Their art tells us who they are. So, let's show that we see them & what they've been put through. 8/11

Simon Cowell created "The Boy" from Eroda. Don't let him control how you see the person we (for now) call Harry Edward Styles. (Why "for now"? As they say "Harry Edward Styles" in the Beauty Papers film, note how the film skips & that skeptical, sly smirk at the end). 9/11
Did you read #watermelonsugar (another hard candy reference)? It is, in part, a meditation on identity & how names (or labels) given to people, places & histories are only useful if the reader acknowledges the context within which we came to use them .10/11
P.S. "I don't use social media," is a vvv cheeky joke. So think about what you say/share. Know they're purposefully showing you how easy it is to queer what we decide we know about them. Like where are they rn? LA or London or Oz? Who knows! And that is exactly the point. 11/11
Ad I've recently learned is said on stan Twitter, please don't let this flop. Like, no need to follow me, but definitely a need to read deeper into Harry Styles' work. Anyway, Happy Mayday stream Fine Line. #heautifulharries #larries #harries or as I call myself #stylists .
