Boycott the Chosen
We are a community of fans calling for likeminded others to boycott The Chosen as a result of the response (or lack thereof) to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Palestine. We were all excited for the new season. Many of us were planning to attend theatre screenings of the premier. But we cannot support a show about the life of a revolutionary Palestinian man when its creators won't speak up for the Palestinian people. We are asking fans to
1. Boycott the series. This involves not attending theatre screenings, refunding tickets where possible, and not watching season four.
2. Delete The Chosen app
3. Donate to our fundraiser for Medical Aid Palestine. We are not expecting many donations, but every little helps
Simon Peter is fundraising for Medical Aid for Palestinians (justgiving.com)
Approximately 1,200 Israelis were killed on October 7th. Since then, approximately 25, 000 Palestinians have been killed. If you as a Christian were disturbed by the violence on October 7th you should also be appalled by the ongoing violence against the innocent civilians of Palestine. If Jesus were alive in Palestine today he would be in the middle of a warzone, facing displacement, famine, and death. It is unconscionable to profit from the life of a Jewish Palestinian while ignoring the ongoing violence.
Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the Earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called the Sons of God.

I slightly disagree with the Netflix angle. I think that the cooking show came together quite quickly and they likely didn鈥檛 begin shooting until after ARO launched. I suspect Meghan used the press of that to bring into support like you mentioned to gain approval from Netflix. Now I think the polo show was likely something Netflix approved in the aftermath of their docuseries, it鈥檚 just that Harry has really wish washy about moving forward with it. I mean Harry far more than Meghan has been increasingly vocal about wanting to come back in for a half in half out. his reputation has taken a huge hit and nothing they鈥檝e really done since the book and docuseries has come out has helped them out in a big successful way.
the news about Netflix came fast and furious with more details being leaked every day. Which tells me they鈥檙e repeating exactly what they did before the docuseries, trying to gauge interest. ultimately I think the polo series will have more BTS about their family then anything else, because that鈥檚 what Netflix want the most. And one will certainly premiere around TTC.
Maybe. Netflix and the Sussexes' PR have both said that Harry will only briefly appear in the polo doc and it won't be about him. Time will tell.
Trooping (two months away) is too soon for either one of these to premiere. The only way they can meet a Trooping premiere date is if something is already in the can and neither one of them have anything in the can.
If Meghan's cooking show was in the can or close to being done, they'd have released promo stills for the announcement. They didn't, so they don't have anything, probably just cutting floor footage from the ARO infomercial. And for Harry, the report is that Netflix cameras were at the event yesterday, so he doesn't have anything either.
Going by the Sussexes' typical PR timeline, these shows are probably being targeted for a September/October release. The Sussexes traditionally do a huge PR campaign that time of year to compete with the BRF's "back to work after summer holidays" press coverage.
(Plus that's also when Kate may be back to work so that's probably Meghan's ideal release window.)

In a piece of personal news, I officially gave notice that I will not be leading Little NoNeed's Girl Scouts troop next year. LNN decided to dedicate time to other activities, but if I'm being honest with myself, I think I would have quit even if they decided to rejoin.
The relief I feel is already palatable, but I'm sure it won't really hit me until October, when the new Girl Scouts year starts.
I've been a leader for four years. We had to meet on Zoom when I first started the troop, and Daisies on Zoom is as horrible as you can imagine.
I had a lot of fun being leader, but it's also a lot of work. And this year really hasn't been much fun at all for a variety of reasons.
Of course, instead of focusing on the four years I have given, part of me feels guilty for leaving these girls without a leader (I will be shocked if another parent steps up.)
Reading "Lessons in Chemistry" hit at a good time last week. Women are seen as nurturers, carers expected to enjoy things that serve a good purpose but are not appreciated, financially or otherwise.
I am already excited thinking about what I can do with the hours I currently spend on Girl Scouts: writing, reading, yoga, hiking, cooking, cleaning my closets. But part of me thinks I should find another volunteer position, even though I am chair of the school book fair committee, hold an elected position in my village, and fill in when needed for the PTO. That's on top of working (for money) part time, driving to ballet and doctors' appointments and birthday parties, and checking homework, and keeping track of the dozens of spirit days LNN has at school (Dress Like a Pirate Day! Wear Your Favorite Premier League Jersey Day! Who's Your Favorite Band of Brothers Blorbo Day! All of these are jokes, but the last one would be great, wouldn't it?)
I'm great at telling other people they should do things for themselves and find what brings them joy, but I'm still working on that for myself.
Today, I took a walk and cleaned my desk and am writing an absolutely silly little one-off fic based on a short text conversation last night while enjoying an iced chai latte, and I am going to try very hard not to feel guilty.

Welcome to Anime Feminist!
Tumblr media
Who Are We?
Anime Feminist launched in October 2016 with three goals:
Become a hub for the kinds of intersectional feminist critique we, as feminist anime and manga fans, wanted to see.
Create a welcoming, inclusive space from which to support and signal-boost under-represented perspectives.
Pay everyone fairly for their work.
We've managed to meet those goals, and we're always aiming to become better and shine brighter!
What We Do
Every week we publish:
A Talk post to spotlight community discussion on anime trends and favorite works, and a monthly Resource post that gathers broader reading about real-world progressive causes.
A Links round-up of our posts from the previous week and relevant articles from around the web
Two Feature articles that can touch on a variety of topics, from analysis of modern and classic anime to industry interviews to personal essays.
During seasonal premieres, we pause feature coverage to provide episode one previews of new shows coming out and organize them into a digest, with content warnings, based on initial impressions -- we hope this makes it easier for readers to prioritize which new shows they'd like to try.
We also host a biweekly podcast on Sundays, with a transcript published the following week.
We want to encourage complex discussions about media through an intersectional feminist lens, and how those works shape and are shaped by the world around them.
What We Don't Do
AniFem believes firmly in critical analysis of the media we love; however, we are not a site interested in sorting works into reductive "Feminism Approved" or "Bad and You Should Feel Bad" categories. To quote our seasonal premiere digest:
"There鈥檚 greater access to anime than ever before, and we want to help you find series you can truly love, without wasting your time on a show that contains an automatic deal-breaker, be that fanservice, queerphobia, the sexualization of children, and so on.
Individuals can find value in any series, and we will never lead a boycott of a particular show, but we want to make it easier for you to get the most out of your limited time."
While we're ready to heavily critique shows that fall into damaging tropes or look at exclusion in fandom, writers are free to pitch on any title of their choosing -- and having one critical or positive article about a series doesn't mean we won't consider a different approach if it's well-argued and written.
Find Us Around the Web!
AniFem Recommends: Jump right into titles the team definitely thinks are worth your time.
The Anime Feminist Store: "Creating inclusive designs for the progressive nerd on-the-go!"
AniFem on Patreon: The main source of income that helps us pay our contributors and staff
AniFem on Ko-Fi: This is where we save up for big one-time costs (currently, we're working to raise pay rates for our writers!)

Predicting S2 Part 2's release given the leaks about a teaser today because I was losing my mind over it last night
Ok. I don't know if a teaser has released yet (if it is), or the clock has started ticking, but I'm not checking until posting this so that I don't possibly spoil myself for predicting.
However, I am going to try to predict the US release, using the leak that apparently a trailer is leaking today, May 2nd, and patterns from different first teaser releases and the actual episode releases.
To start, let's see the difference in time between the first teaser drop and the episode drop for each season part so far:
Tumblr media
The first teaser for S1 P1 released on April 1st 2023, and the episode drop June 1st 2023. A difference of 2 months
Tumblr media
S1P2's first trailer was August 30 2023, and episodes dropped October 12 2023. Difference of 1 month and 12 days. Expected the difference to be larger, at least two months, but we'll still use this because it's important.
Tumblr media
S2P1's first trailer was January 31 2024, and episode drop April 4 2024. Difference of 63 days (about 2 months and 3 days, but February a weird ass month so I'm not really messing with that)
Anyways, onto the estimation predictions. this is just to see the general area we will land. This doesn't mean that the amount of time between this teaser and the actual release will be the exact same as the differences above, as they seem to vary a lot.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So here are the estimates. But I do want to note that none of them land on Thursday, which all of the previous episode drops have. However, we can still estimate from here.
So the possible Thursdays, based on the weeks these estimates land on are June 13 and July 4.
But another pattern I also want to note is the fact that currently at least, all the episode drops all have a number to do with 4, whether they're a factor, multiple of, or are 4 itself.
Meaning that July 4th is more likely.
And given the possible "Finland episode releases in July 1st", possibly a bit more likely. Though, since it won't be exactly a day before like it was last time, Finland may be having a random premiere. Or Netflix is throwing random dates at everyone for shits and giggles.
So, likely prediction:
July 4th
But what if these leaks are wrong? There are two other possible Thursdays during the summer following day patterns (if not teaser and release difference patterns). These are:
Thursday, June 20th
and
Thursday August 8th
Plus, if Part 2 wants to wait longer to be released, a possible fall day, being Thursday September 12th. Though that feels a lot less likely.
Or Part 2 of season 2 is going to break multiple of these patterns and prove all of these predictions wrong. But it was worth a shot

Have you (or any of your lovely followers 馃グ) heard how the SAG-AFTRA strike in the US might affect promo for Breeders?
I know the strikers are not allowed to do promo, and of course Martin & Daisy (& others in the cast) are UK union members but also does the strike count for non-US based promo/ non US-based actors? Or maybe they'll just not do promo in solidarity?
Hi and thank you for the ask!
First of all, you are correct: my followers are lovely. 馃グ馃グ
And it's funny because just the other day I said to @colourfulwatson (one of the loveliest mutuals 馃ぉ) : "With the current strike we probably won't get much/any promo for Breeders."
But tbh, I don't know how it works and what the rules are for non US-based actors. FX is US- based, so I would expect no promo at all. Cillian Murphy and Florence Pugh walked off the premiere of Oppenheimer- that's pretty much the same, just on a (much鈥硷笍鈥硷笍鈥硷笍) bigger scale, I suppose.
Breeders was never promoted a lot and I was looking forward to some small bits and pieces here and there, but I am quite sure that we won't get any promo now. Which is fine. This strike is so important!
Martin is still on holiday anyways, so maybe he'll just stay a bit longer where ever he is now. 馃槵
Maybe we will get some interviews when Breeders comes to the UK in October.

I鈥檓 not going to get my hopes up, but if Netflix has to have an answer by October, when do you think filming will start then?
Hypothetically if the strike is over in Netflix's case by Oct or in general for all the studios, filming for ST would start up shortly after that. They've been ready to start filming since June, so they're pretty much just in limbo waiting rn.
There might be some cast members in the middle of something when the strike ends, so that doesn't mean every single cast member will take a flight to Georgia and be there the day after the strike to start filming. It will happen in waves, where some who are available at that time will get all their arrangements in order and make the plan to start filming while others might need a few weeks to get everything in order.
Sometimes filming happens out of order, especially with scenes that are really time consuming for VFX in post production, but still I do think that the priority will be either those scenes or scenes from the first few episodes. Those episodes are the most fleshed out script wise and they're also the episodes we're going to see sooner than the later ones. In the case they decide to split it into two volumes again, having those earlier episodes finished sooner than later allows them to then be able to edit them sooner and have them complete for releasing. So if the premiere period rolls around, and they're still behind on some parts of Vol 2, they'd be prepared to release Vol 1, with extra time to focus on the rest. Pretty much the same thing happened for S4, where Vol 1 premiered in late May and then they were still editing Vol 2 in time for it's early July release.
If the strike is officially over and all filming in the industry amongst these studios has been green-lit to return, let's say October 1st, then it's likely by mid October they would be starting filming again. Or if it was mid October that the strike ended, then maybe filming would be starting by the end of the month. If it's late October, then probably early November for filming to start. The transition won't take months, at most a couple of weeks.
Again, they were ready to start filming in June and they don't necessarily need every single actor to have their schedule free in order to start. They just need actors who have scenes alone or with other actors who are also available who they also happen to have scenes with in order to start filming. It is unlikely that whatever schedule they had planned originally for the cast back in June will be identical post-strike, as that will all presumably shift to accommodate everyones new schedules at that time of the year and going forward.
This is all a hypothatical scenario. Regardless of if the strike ends in October or September or god forbid January, which is when the Emmy's are being postponed until, Filming for ST5 would take a matter of a couple of weeks to set up and begin, and would then continue for the next 12 months following, give or take.

Stranger Things "Creature Feature" and "Summer Special" Reviews

Synopsis for Creature Feature: While moving to California, Will, Jonathan, and El make a stop in Denver, Colorado to enjoy a night out at a Drive-In Theater. However, El's visit takes a turn for the worst when certain elements begin triggering PTSD flashbacks......
Synopsis for Summer Special: Join Officers Powell and Callahan during the events of season 3 as they patrol the streets of Hawkins and begin to encounter the Flayed.....
Observations:
Because these comics are short, I am covering both of them in this review. Unlike "Erica's Quest" and "The Game Master," which at least shared the theme of Erica and Mike being isolated and using their love of D&D to reconnect with people, these two short stories don't have much in common other than taking place in the same universe. Because of that, I will be talking about each of their stories separately. This will conclude my reviews of the comics and graphic novels for the time being. When the full versions of Tales from Hawkins, the Stranger Things x TMNT Crossover, and The Voyage are released (which likely won't be until January 2024 at the earliest), I will review them. Until then, I will move on to the tie-in books, beginning with Stranger Things Suspicious Minds.
Let's begin.
Creature Feature:
Out of the two of these, this short comic is the one I like the best. It's an interquel between seasons 3 and 4 that came out on Free Comic Book Day, three weeks before season 4 premiered. As noted in the synopsis, it focuses on an evening that Will, Jonathan, and El have in Denver, Colorado at a Drive-In Theater featuring horror movies. At this point, they're still in the process of moving to Lenora, and the story takes place sometime in October 1985 before Halloween.
The premise of the characters at a Drive-In Theater is fun, and it's nice getting a story exploring the sibling dynamic between El, Will, and Jonathan as El integrates into the Byers family. While we did get scenes like this in season 4, they often felt brief and far in-between. It doesn't help that circumstances like Angela's constant bullying, El ending up in trouble with the law for smashing the brat's face in (not that I blame her for doing so), the three way conflict between Mike, El, and Will at the beginning, and everything to do with Vecna constantly overshadowed attempts to go into more details about El's developing relationship with the Byers. We did get a brief montage with El narrating in her letters to Mike about how she and the Byers are doing, but it isn't as in-depth as it could have been. So any story that explores El, Will, Joyce, and Jonathan together as a family is one I'd be happy to see more of.
There's an interesting parallel between Will's love for the horror movies and atmosphere at the Drive-In vs El's fear of it. Will's enthusiasm for horror movies and Halloween is pretty similar to Max's, with Max even admitting in Runaway Max that she's watched scary movies since she was a kid and Michael Myers from the Halloween series is the one that frightens her the most. Just like there's a psychological component for how Max processes horror movies (especially growing up with an abusive step-dad and step-brother who made her life a living hell), the same goes for Will. When Jonathan asks Will how he can still enjoy horror movies after everything that's happened to him, Will explains it as such:
Tumblr media
That is relatable in so many ways. Some of the stuff I've experienced in my life has desensitized me to certain horror/slasher movies, like Saw or Friday The 13th or the Halloween series, to the point the over-the-top blood and gore doesn't elicit a reaction for me. I'm more likely to have fun watching these movies than be scared by them. It's movies, TV shows, and other media that deal with triggering subjects like anxiety, depression, gaslighting, mental illness, rape, and so on that tends to get under my skin.
And considering what El has been through for most of her life, it's also understandable why she has the reaction she does at the Drive-In. Everything from the purple flashing lights to the monster-themed costumes to the loud noises and unfamiliar setting cause her to have a PTSD attack.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It doesn't help that some bullies see what's happening to El and decide to harass her for it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You know the jackasses on Reddit, Twitter/X, Tumblr, or other social media platforms who mock people for being triggered, accuse people struggling with trauma of wanting to be victims, and are awful to others because they can get away with it? That's who these bullies remind me of. They are the predecessors to Angela, her friends, and the loathsome crowd from Rink-O-Mania who humiliated El. Despite only being in the comic briefly, I despise them.
Thankfully, Will and Jonathan come to her aid, and Jonathan gets a nice big brother moment in telling the bullies to fuck off:
Tumblr media
I wish we'd get more scenes on the show of Jonathan getting aggressive with bullies or any other threats to his family.
Getting back to El, there's another reason she's upset: She's in a vulnerable position of having lost her powers at this point, and doesn't know how to deal with it. She's also worried about the threat of the Upside Down returning, which it unfortunately does in season 4. How many times can you face the same horrors over again without feeling like you're losing pieces of yourself and that it's all out of your control?
Tumblr media
Except El isn't alone in her fight, no matter how bleak it seems. As Jonathan points out, she still has the support of her friends and family, and all of them will be there for her. They love her regardless of whether or not she has powers. That's a truly beautiful thing to have.
Tumblr media
As I've noted before in other reviews (especially Dungeons and Dragons), the final fight between Vecna's forces won't just have El dealing with it all by herself. It's always been a team effort from everyone since season 1, and I do not see that dynamic changing in season 5 without the Duffer Brothers betraying the core themes of friendship and family on the show. Whether or not El will be the one delivering the killing blow to Vecna remains to be seen though.
Overall, I'd recommend this for a read.
Summer Special:
Remember back in my review of The Bully when I talked about how the graphic novel followed the events of season 2 through the eyes of Troy and James? That's pretty much the same formula the Summer Special uses. This time, it takes place in season 3, and it follows Officers Callahan and Powell in the week leading up to the 4th of July.
Like most of the fandom, I never cared for Callahan and Powell. I don't hate them to the extent I hate characters like Billy or Angela, but I still find them obnoxious, and have never been impressed with the "lazy bumbling cop" stereotypes they seem to embody. Unfortunately, this short comic doesn't do much to change that.
The best summary of the plot is that it basically runs on one joke: Callahan and Powell are present during key moments in season 3 (i.e. Billy getting possessed by the Mind Flayer, Doris Driscoll and the other Flayed at Brimborn Steelworks, Alexei's death at the carnival, the Battle of Starcourt, etc), and just when it looks like the two of them might actually find out about the Upside Down and figure out everything that's been going on............they don't. They either miss stuff, dismiss it on sight, or get distracted by trivial crap in their pursuit of trying to be "good cops." It's a joke repeated through-out the comic, and it's one that gets old real fast.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I didn't find this joke funny the first time they did it, and every other time after that made it more annoying.
The comic contains some glaring continuity errors. For example, when Powell and Callahan find Billy's car at Brimborn Steelworks the night he's possessed by the Mind Flayer, the date is July 1st in the comic. However, on the show, the actual date was the evening of June 29th, the same night Billy was set to hook up with Karen.
On top of that, the comic illustrates Billy leaving the steelwork factory different from how he did on the show. Here, he's depicted as quietly sneaking out when Powell and Callahan come to investigate:
Tumblr media
But on the show, he is literally running for his life in a panic the moment he gets free of the Mind Flayer, desperately to escape it and not caring about how much of a ruckus he made leaving. If we're taking this comic as canon (which I am not because of all its inconsistencies), it's hard to believe Powell and Callahan wouldn't have heard Billy going back to his car.
There's also other contradictory dates: Doris Driscoll (the old lady Nancy and Jonathan visit in S3 who's later possessed by the Mind Flayer) is established on the show as being taken to the hospital on July 1st. However, the comic depicts this happening on July 2nd. This also apparently happened the same night a possessed Driscoll abducted Powell and took him to the Steelworks factory where the Mind Flayer was, which makes it even more confusing. It also creates a big plot-hole for why the other Flayed never came after Powell later despite Powell witnessing a bunch of them at the factory in the process of attacking his car.
The only moment I semi-liked in this comic was this scene reaffirming how much of a sleazy womanizing piece-of-shit Billy is, and how other people in-universe see him like this as well:
Tumblr media
Other than that, and some decent artwork per usual, this comic felt rushed and not well put together as it should have been.
As much as I don't care for Callahan and Powell as characters, I wouldn't mind a comic centered on them provided there was an actual point for it. If they're going to focus on side characters, then actually develop them in a way that's meaningful instead of constantly playing them for laughs. There's an entire story they could have been explored when Powell became the new Chief of Police in Hawkins after Hopper's supposed death in season 3, and how he was forced to adjust to the position and take on new responsibilities. That would have been far more interesting than what they did here. This just came off like a waste.
As you can probably tell, I'm not recommending this comic. The good news is it's not particularly pricey (I got it for $1.99 on Kindle), so if you do want to check it out for yourselves and make your own judgments, there's no harm in doing so. But there are better comics you could spend time and money on.

Card(s) may be grouped into themes dependent on skew of submission topics (e.g. "Season Premier", "Russell Household", "John/Oscar") - you don't need to play every card you have, and you don't need to play every week, either
More details below!
What Predictions Are Accepted?
They should be short - they need to fit on a bingo square! Longer predictions may be edited or broken down for clarity.
You can suggest squares related to story beats, props/costumes/sets, overall arcs, casting, etc. The sky is the limit and nobody is necessarily expected to be realistic, but submitting ideas you think are plausible or expect to happen will make the game more fun because it increases the chances of actually getting to mark a square. The sweet spot is a medium-ish level of specificity and plausibility.
Episode is optional but not required. (If you include an episode in your prediction, that prediction may or may not have the specified episode on every bingo card.)
Examples by Type
Story beats: Oscar proposes to Gladys
Costumes: Marian's first costume has a visible zipper down the back
Arcs: Larry moves to Newport
Cast: Robert Sean Leonard's character first appears in the first episode
Examples by Probability
Effectively guaranteed: The first episode will open with Easter
Plausible: Oscar proposes to Gladys in the first episode
Probably really unlikely: Anne and Aurora run away to France in the first episode
Examples by Specificity
Hyperspecific: One of George's workers dies in a manufacturing accident at the end of the third episode
Specific: A background character dies in the third episode
Not very specific and likely to end up as a free space: A character dies
When do I need to submit?
Card square suggestions close Friday, October 27. Everyone who has asked for a card by Friday, October 27 will have a card by 9pm Eastern Time on Sunday, October 29. (You can also sign up for a card at any time after that point, because it can be frustrating to find something after it's already started. And you can still submit a prediction if you want I guess, but it won't make it onto a bingo card.)
I can't play every week, how do I avoid spoilers?
Block the tags "#tgabingo" and the weekly tags, which will be "#tgabingo2x01", "#tgabingo2x02", etc. This blog will use those tags, and users participating are highly encouraged to use those tags as well as spoiler tags (e.g. "tga spoilers", "tgas2 spoilers").
Other questions?
Just ask!

HARRY鈥橲 STYLE EVOLUTION PART 2 (HS1 Era) by an actual stylist
Tumblr media
First off, thanks for the love on part 1! It was truly, so fun to write. I have such a good time looking into Harry's style because it's something I've always kept my eye on throughout his and my own career. If you haven't read part 1, I definitely recommend it, as I'll be referencing some things from it. (Link to that is here.)
This is part 2, which is solo Harry, particularly during the making and tour of HS1 (2017-2018.) I just have TOO much to say about his style for it to be concise I'm so sorry lol.
Without further ado, let's get into it!
2017!
Harry's first official appearance after 1D is on October 6th, 2016, a dinner hosted to celebrate his trio of Another Man covers with Alister Mackie and Kris Van Assche. He wears a suit by Dior Homme.
Tumblr media
To debut his single "Sing of the Times" on the Radio 1 Breakfast Show with Nick Grimshaw, he wears Gucci tartan trousers (left). He has a real Gucci tartan moment here. Also wearing a Gucci tartan suit to perform on Saturday Night Live (right.)
Tumblr media
At this time, his personal style is still reminiscent of his late 1D style. He's still wearing black skinny jeans and the infamous YSL suede boots. He falls into a real short sleeve button-up/Hawaiian shirt kick here. Wearing it during Snl Promo (left) on Carpool Karaoke (middle) and a black open version at a New York Rangers game (right.)
Tumblr media
On the day his solo album is released, he wears a tartan Vivien Westwood suit with Gucci loafers (left), and on the Today Show, he wears the GORGEOUS bespoke Edward Sexton bubblegum pink suit (right.)
Tumblr media
At this point, Harry's worn a suit to basically every public appearance he's had since 1D broke up. This makes a lot of sense. He's starting his solo career and wants to be taken seriously. What's more serious than a suit? They're often brilliantly patterned or in bright colors. Showing his fans and the world that he's still the flamboyant, bright, charming person they knew in 1D but evolved. Older now, no longer in a boyband but a Man Band, as he himself puts it.
Harry wears these Gucci wide-leg trousers with dragon detailing on the leg several times. I personally love this look. He wears a pink version (left) at his first solo show at the Garage, a brown version (right,) to perform at a Sirius XM event, he also wears a similar one to perform on the Graham Norton Show. Middle, he wears a Gucci suit with Roker boots on the James Cordon show.
Tumblr media
Also, on James Corden's show (sorry lol) he wears the same Roker boots and this dark emerald green VELVET suit by Saint Laurent that I'm absolutely obsessed with and feel like we did not give her her moment (left.)
He's also doing Dunkirk promo at this time and typically dresses much subtler for those appearances than he does to promote his own music. It makes sense he's not trying to command the spotlight at these press events, instead opting to seem more like an ensemble player. For the French premiere of Dunkirk, he wears a suit by Prada and Roker boots.
Tumblr media
In another Late Late show appearance (he does so many during this time), he wears this Loverboy jumpsuit by Charles Jeffery (left), and on an Elvis Duran appearance, he wears a button down with art that mimics his tattoos by Stella McCartney, along with black skinny jeans and Calvin Klein boots (right.)
Tumblr media
In September of 2017, his official Live on Tour starts in San Francisco, and he wears a floral printed suit by Gucci (left.) Later he will wear a similarly patterned floral Gucci suit to perform at Radio City Music Hall (right.)
Tumblr media
At the iHeartRadio music festival, he wears a harlequin Gucci suit (left), and later in Sydney, Australia, at the Aria awards, he'll wear one of my favorite suits. An Alexander McQueen suit paired with gold Roker boots.
Tumblr media
At this point, it's clear that Harry's love affair with Gucci has started he won't become the frontman of the Memoire d鈥檜ne Odeur Gucci fragrance until 2019, but he definitely has some affiliation with the brand. I'm sure they're sending him pieces and working with him closely. It's unclear if this is spurred on by Harry Lambert or if Harry Styles and Alessandro Michele are friends yet, but regardless, he wears Gucci more than any other designer at this point, and Gucci will go on to supply a lot of the suits he wears during the tour.
At the 2017 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, Harry performs wearing two suits. First is a light blue suit (left), and later, he changes into a black suit with velvet details and a pink undershirt (right.)
Tumblr media
2018!
Harry will wear A LOT of suits during the Live on Tour tour (those were the days, huh,) and in a bit, I'll go over some of my favorites. (If you want to see all of them, that can be found here,) but first, I want to talk about his personal style.
We see him starting to move away from skinny jeans and opting for more expressive pants. In the picture on the right, he wears the first Bode piece I believe we ever see him wear! This fits the culture of the time as we as a public begin to move farther and farther away from skinny jeans.
Tumblr media
He's not back to adorning himself in vintage t-shirts quite yet (we'll get more into that during his Fine Line era.) But there is a noticeable difference in his style, for sure. He's much trendier than he was before, and much like how his style evolved when he was hanging out with Nick Grimshaw and co, I do think part of this style change is due to his relationship with Camille Rowe.
Harry and her were first linked in July of 2017 and have assumedly been dating for several months at this time. It makes sense that he'd be gaining some of her style from osmosis. Later he'll even admit himself, "There's a piece of you in how I dress."
We'll get more into this during his Fine Line era, as that's when he starts dressing A LOT more like her, but I do think there is a noticeable shift in 2018.
Tumblr media
As mentioned before Harry wears A LOT of suits during this time and though I genuinely do have an opinion on every single one of them, there's just not the time. So below, I'll highlight some of my favorites.
Left Harry performs at the We Can Survive Benefit in Hollywood in a custom Stella McCartney suit. Right he wears the infamous ensemble by Harris Reed (I went to university with them and am totally not jealous at all) on tour in Amsterdam.
Tumblr media
One of the best things about the Live on Tour suits was that there really was a sense that outfits were picked for specific places.
In Glasglow, Scotland, he wears a kilt (left) from London outfitters Highland Store. When performing in Mexico city (right) he wears a suit with embroidery and right sparkly fringe (one of my favorites he'll ever wear.)
Tumblr media
In Bologna, he wears one of my favorite Gucci suits.
Tumblr media
That's it for part 2! Fine Line era is next, and you better strap yourselves in for that one because I have. LITERALLY SO MUCH TO SAY!
Thank you sm for reading! <3

i don't know if people who haven't read the kickstarter update are aware of this, but the (double-length) pilot episode of the magnus protocol will be made available to kickstarter backers and rusty quill patrons in october, while the public release (which will then be followed by regular weekly episodes) won't be until january 2024. so if you haven't backed the kickstarter and don't support rusty quill on patreon, but you do want to listen to the pilot ahead of time, it might be a good idea to become a rusty quill patron in october! (you can always cancel afterwards, if you want.) the digital premiere will be available at the knights and nobles tiers, which start at 拢4.50 a month according to their website.

Filipino GL Webcomic 'Careless x Confidential' Serialized on Penlab Starting October 14
On October 7, Filipino artist and musician Logihy, known for her romance drama webtoon Unintentional Game announced that her new Yuri series, Careless x Confidential, will begin serialization on the newly released Penlab app as an original series. The first episode of the office-romance comic will premiere on October 14.
Tumblr media
The series description reads:
29-year-old Florence Silva gets accepted as the new marketing manager for her dream company, ReminiScent Co. To celebrate, she invites her long-time girlfriend Julie Roa to her favorite restaurant, Eggs-Hausted, only to be left broken-hearted. Standing absent-mindedly in front of the restaurant, Florence is approached by a kind stranger who offers an umbrella. The curious stranger asks her why she let herself get drenched in the rain, and confident that they won't see each other again, Florence vents her frustrations to the stranger. Only the stranger is apparently her boss in her new job.
Logihy's other series Unintentional Game, which is not Yuri, is also releasing on Penlab as an original after its independent posting on Webtoon Canvas went on hiatus in August.
Founded in September 2020 by Kalabaw Koletib, Penlab is a Filipino reading platform exclusively for "Pinoy komiks." The platform just launched its mobile app in September after partnering with Kumu. It features more than 300 different Filipino comics.
