i don’t even know

“dude, what the hell are you doing?”

frat boy glanced at drummer harry as he picked up his toothbrush, giving him a weird look as if he wasn’t the one about to brush his teeth while drummer harry was still pissing, for god’s sake. he stayed quiet for a few seconds and drummer harry could feel his face flaming in embarrassment because, you know, his… is out.

“it’s a shared bathroom, innit? nothing to be embarrassed about, mate.”

“jesus christ.” drummer harry scrambled to zip his pants up and flushed the toilet quickly, rushing to get out of the bathroom, while frat boy harry was so confused as to why he was being so weird.

he rolled his eyes and shook his head lightly.

Just a thought for fandom when writing/drawing trans people who smoke cigarettes/vape

They literally won't be able to smoke while on hrt, masc or femme

I actually thought I could smoke while on t for the longest time because I kept seeing trans headcanons of cis characters whose whole thing is smoking. It wasn't until I actually looked it up when I came out and! Lo and behold, smoking while on hrt can kill you! Actually kill you (for some reason at the time I looked it up, it was really hard to find a solid answer online, so some years later when I did my consult, I asked, and I was told flat out that if I smoked it would cause shit like blood clots!)

Now I'm not saying to stop putting trans hcs for cis smokers, because obviously it's a fucking drawing or whatever, but there really needs to be more awareness from the community (trans and general fandom) about how normalized it is to just slap trans centric surgery scars on a cis character whose lifestyle and addictions wouldn't allow them to look cis and be on hrt for any length of time without killing them before they got to transition

I don't know if this is a thing, it's just something that I've thought about on and off when interacting with trans people who turn cis smokers into trans smokers. I dunno, just something to think about when doing your hcs

Edit: just read the notes for whatever answer you want to accept. One person from medblr put their thoughts in, and so did another trans person who was told what I was. Take whatever evidence you want from either of those responses and agree with me or don't.

“Mitch and I have a little two-year-old son. We’ve been so lucky to be able to bring our son on the road and Harry has made that very possible which is a rare thing in music. His touring schedule has been full on with most of the year on the road. I have gotten to play some absolutely incredible places and be part of residencies that have broken records. […] For years as a freelance musician, you get used to never saying no to a gig, but when you become a parent, your child comes first and your outlook changes. Harry was very accommodating and couldn’t have made the decision easier.”

Audition

Drummer Masterlist Summary: YN auditions to be One Direction's Drummer.

Genre: harry styles x tomlinsonsister!reader

Since a young age YN had always been one to make a rhythm from tapping on something. Like when she was a toddler, an aunt gifted her a musical instruments set and the only thing she wanted to play was the drum and sticks. She would spend hours sitting and tapping the sticks on top of the plastic toy. When she was sat at the kitchen table with her brother and sisters waiting for their dinner when they young children, she would annoy them by hitting her fingers against the wood of the table. 

For her 11th birthday she had been gifted a drum kit that lived in the garage next to the house, where she was able to make as much noise as she liked. Her Mum always knew she was talented but listening from her seat in the garden as she watched the younger girls play, she was stunned at how a young girl could play so well and sound like a professional.

So when her brother’s band, One Direction, needed a drummer because theirs had dropped out last minute before their Take Me Home Tour, Louis didn’t think twice to ask their management to consider his sister for the role. After some thought, they agreed that she could come for an audition. 

On the day of the audition, YN had travelled down from Doncaster to London, where her brother met her at the train station to take her to the studio where his management and the other boys were waiting.

As Louis pulled into the car park, he noticed his sister bouncing her leg up and down, a nervous tick she had. Reaching over he placed his hand over her knee. “Hey, calm down, you’ll be fine”.

Her leg remained still now, but she still couldn’t shake off her nerves. “I’m just nervous Lou, I don’t want to embarrass you-“.

“Embarrass me, you could never embarrass me, plus I’ve been bragging you up because you’re a badass on the drums”. Louis complimented, causing YN to laugh at his words. She was even more determined not to leave her brother down. 

Entering the studio where the audition was being held, Louis noticed his sister hands trembling slightly. He continued to lead the way until they were outside the audition room. 

“Ready?”. Louis asked YN once more, when YN nodded he led her through the black doors.

The four other boys were sat on a long grey sofa in the corner of the room, with a few of members from the boys management sat behind a table with papers and a laptop on front of them. 

Once YN had introduced herself and Louis and the boys wished her luck, she found herself sat with her trusty sticks in her hand behind the drum kit. 

For the audition, they were asked to play one of the bands songs. So with a little hint from Louis, YN chose Up All Night knowing that it was going to be their opening song for the shows.

Not wasting time YN repositioned her sticks in her hand, and within seconds they were hitting the drum kit in front of her. 

Niall was amazed at how someone so calm and quiet could make so much noise on the drums, and make it sound so good without any other instruments.

Zayn’s foot tapped to the beat of the drums, and whispered to Niall “how sick is she”.

Liam was moving his arms to each beat that YN would make, and pretended that he was actually playing the drums.

Harry, well he was mesmerised. Not only from the way YN played the drums but how beautiful she was too. He’d heard from Louis how amazing she was but to see her play right in front of him, he was speechless. 

Louis wanted YN to land this role more than anything, so although he knew how good she was, she needed to prove it to the people sat behind the table. He kept trying ti read their expressions as his sister played but it was hard to tell what they were really thinking. 

As YN finished playing the song, she took a deep breath, one that she had been holding since her sticks hit the first beat. “Thank you.” she spoke to the three people in front of her.

The man in the middle of the table broke the silence. “YN, that was something else…for once I am speechless.”.

“You are a very talented young lady.”. The woman at the end of table complimented her.

The three of them all had a silent conversation with their eyes, and a few head nods here and there. Before one spoke “YN, you’ve got the job!”.

YN was stunned, she couldn’t move from her spot. But before she knew it, five arms were around her in one big group hug, as they jumped up and down in excitement, congratulating her. 

“Welcome to the band sis!”.

"I WAS SO EXCITED WHEN I HEARD WE SECURED THOSE EUROPEAN SUPPORT SLOTS WITH BLONDIE!"

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on BUZZCOCKS drummer John Maher (then age 18!) photographed with his arm around Debbie Harry of BLONDIE, whom BUZZCOCKS supported in Belgium on September 6, 1978. 📸: Chris Stein.

JOHN MAHER: "When I was 16 I had a Debbie Harry poster on my bedroom door. Two years later, we had our arms around each other!

Sharing those pics of Debbie and me hugging each other generated quite a reaction. I still find it hard to believe it actually happened. I was so excited when I heard we secured those European support slots with Blondie! I was eighteen. I’d never been outside the UK before.  The night before the first show, I was like a kid at Christmas. Despite the hours of travelling, I was absolutely wide awake when we arrived in Amsterdam. I remember going for a beer with our manager Richard Boon and tour manager Pete Monks. We sat outdoors, drinking foreign lager on a warm summer night. I was literally giddy with excitement. Richard and Pete were laughing at me. I asked them what was wrong. Richard told me I was experiencing "culture shock." I didn’t know what he meant. I was high on the whole experience of being somewhere other than Manchester, drinking lager outdoors in an exotic European city, knowing I would meet Debbie Harry and Clem Burke in less than 24 hours!"

these strings are… silly?

“what is wrong with you?”

“you deserved it.”

“why the fuck do you bring silly string with you? you’ve ruined my hair.”

“i bring it with me because some people are so very irritating, like someone i know.”

“give me that.” drummer harry tried snatching the can of silly string out of frat boy harry’s hands but the little shit started running away from him, turning around whilst running to spray him again, making him sputter and curse loudly, now determined to absolutely murder the boy.

Never seen such a favourite to win as there has been for Danny, I hope he doesn't feel too much pressure but I don't think it's too biased to say he'll smash it 👑

Known for his dynamic style, impeccable timing, and ability to adapt to various jazz subgenres, Hayes has played a crucial role in the development of modern jazz drumming. This blog post delves into his early years, career…

[hldailyupdate]

“Mitch (my husband) is a songwriter, and he plays guitar and drums in the studio, so when Harry records, Mitch plays drums on the records. So I’m mostly playing his parts when we are playing live, which is interesting. […] They definitely gave me room to interpret the drum parts. The band is always coming up with different intros and such. But my approach was this: I didn’t know much about One Direction, but I knew they were a pop band, and this is a pop band. I put myself in the shoes of the people in the audience that are listening to us. I know if I was them, and the band weren’t playing some of the main hooks in the instrumentation then it would frustrate me. So, I try to do those important bits note for note. I think that’s what people want to hear from his music.”

-Sarah on how Mitch and Harry leave the drums in live performance up to her to interpret, and her thought process on how she approaches that. (31 May 2023)
