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.

Alright - this is not an official goal, persay, because this is a super stretch, and I don't know how well I'll be at keeping it up.
But, as a result of this poll (yes, I know y'all said all days are equally hard, but Mondays was very close, and I don't think I can maintain posting something every day, y'all, I'm sorry), I'm going to try to start having weekly updates.
I actually used to do this back in 2020. I think I started in 2019? and stopped in 2021? sometime? But I used to post weekly on Mondays because I realized I had a backlog of stuff I hadn't posted and I thought that would be a way of helping out and encouraging people on what I thought was the worst day of the week and...I want to try and start doing that again. Primarily for the helping out on the worst day of the week thing. Giving you something to look forward to.
This doesn't necessarily mean I won't post on other days. I might! Right now, I've mostly been in the pattern of posting fic or chapters as soon as they're completed.
But I...would like to return to the weekly scheduled update.
It could be a lot of things - it could be a chapter or update in a long-standing fic or series, it could be something new, it could be a one-shot, it could be a completed prompt (although I'm not sure prompts will be held to that, they'll probably be posted as I finish them? I'm not sure, I haven't quite thought this through that completely yet) - and it could be with a variety of characters or ships - just...something.
Something on Mondays.
Like something pretty much every day through December.
Because life is hard and Mondays are Mondays and it's nice to have something to look forward to after the weekend.
It's nice to have something to look forward to at all.
So. I will try! And we'll see how it goes!
