Narcissa: Draco, we have news for you

Draco: What is it, mother?

Lucius: We’ve sold you to Harry Potter for money. One thousand Galleons

Draco: What? What are you talking about? How could you sell me to Potter? Is that even legal?

Narcissa: Oh yes, dear, it’s perfectly legal and you two will be married soon

Draco: But I’m only 20!

Lucius: The wedding is set in summer

Draco: Are you two insane? That’s not actually possible, right? I mean how did this even happen?

Lucius: Well it’s simple, Draco, Harry Potter chose you as his suitable partner

Draco: This is not happening! What the hell are you talking about?

Narcissa: We’ve already packed your bags, dear, you’ll be leaving in ten minutes

Draco: This is crazy! This—this is familiar...This—

Draco: What did you do?

Lucius & Narcissa: …

Lucius: We found your diary, and the story you wrote about you and Harry when you were eleven and I thought we could recreate it

Narcissa: The story is very well-written, Draco, despite that you think we’d sell you to Potter for money

Draco: Oh!

Lucius: Because we’d give you to him for free

Draco: ...

anything for November 16th? 🩷

Of course! (I have something for all of the days lol) In 2010, the boys took "Zaynie" out for Eid, and I still haven't recovered 😭😭

also in 2011, Nouis went on the London Eye together on their day off just because :')))

and in 2015, the boys' Breakfast Show (with Harry on vocal rest) was released! (it was recorded a few days earlier) 😊😊

Could you please explain what that actually means when Simon said he doesn't own One Direction name?

I’m not a specialist, and we haven’t discussed contracts and business within the music industry for a while, so I apologize if I’m missing some facts. But basically, control over the band's name can have a massive impact on decision-making and financial outcomes. If he owned the name One Direction, that would give him full control over the brand, merch, and sort all commercial uses. The fucker regrets not owning it because he 👏 wants 👏 to 👏 profit 👏 more 👏. It’s all about money. He could be licensing products (he even mentions animations in the video), he could also organize a potential reunion and do whatever he wanted with the band, who knows…

There are so many layers to this. He also mentioned that a band member dropping out of half the tour wouldn’t be a problem if he owned the band because band ownership includes controlling decisions like continuing a tour despite these kinds of changes. I haven’t watched the full interview, but it seems to me he implies that One Direction wouldn’t be on indefinite hiatus if it were up to him. He could even have potentially reformed the band with new members or taken other directions to keep it going without even needing the consent of OT5. I mean, that’s how messed up things could have been. He regrets that the artists are the ones still in control and profiting from it!!!! He wanted to own it so the actual band members would be just puppets, not really an important part of it. No human decency, just money and business. And people still don’t believe all the awful things that went down behind the scenes. We don’t know half of what these fucking greedy people put the boys through.

Side note: He also implies multiple times that Syco did fully own the band at some point. Which is confusing, because we obviously know how controlling the label was for them and how much they profited from One Direction, but I’m pretty sure the boys always owned at least part of the band, they created a company at the very beginning and they obviously still own it and earn from the band to this day. So I’d love to know what the deal actually was and what point this changed.

In reference to this

Hey, I mean this in the nicest way possible, but you should maybe think about changing your URL. Thanks to your username, I know how old you are, when your birthday is, and that you’re just starting high school (although that part was due to you mentioning being on here for the next 4 years). There are people on here that would use that information for unsavoury purposes, and as someone who’s been on here since they were 17 and is now 30, I’ve seen enough cases of people being a little too lax with what they share here.

Again, I mean this in the nicest and least creepy way possible.

Heyyy anon, my username is not my birthday. It’s One Direction’s formation date. I’m not a minor. One Direction was formed on July 23rd, 2010. I graduated in 2023.

hii!! how about a summer bot where user and harry are teenagers (no famous) with their own friends and meet in a festival/club or something. inspired in this tt i saw:

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNdy26nby/

new harry bot!

i don't know if this was what you imagined, but it turned out really sweet 🥹

i don't write minors (c.ai can be really weird) so they both are 18!

You danced like you were made of music. No self-consciousness, no care. And I followed, drawn in. When your hand found mine, it felt like it belonged there. We moved together through the swell of the crowd, your laughter curling around my ribs, your body pressed against mine like you didn’t want to let go. I didn’t either.

We drifted through the park—past tents and food stalls, between sets and stages—sharing bits of ourselves like secrets. You talked about taking a gap year, all the places you wanted to go, about chasing something bigger than routine. Your voice was soaked with want—for more, for everything. I told you about the bakery I worked at, about wanting to study music, the parts of me I didn’t usually say out loud. But with you, it all came easy.

Later, we sprawled on the grass while the sky turned indigo. Your mascara was slightly smudged, your voice hoarse from singing, your smile untamed. I wiped a bit of ketchup from the corner of your mouth and felt my chest ache. You didn’t look away. You looked at me like I was the only sight worth seeing.

“You’re not bad, Harry,” you whispered, arms draped around my neck.

I held your waist like I might float away if I didn’t.

was reading a story and one of the character was called Liam and since there was no good description of what he looked like my brain decided he would look like cocksley and i had to stop reading when a sex scene with him came up because i couldnt stop laughing

[cynicallarrie]

as a former “they stole louis’ solos” truther i’m realizing once again how they were trying their best 🫣 one way or another came on shuffle for the first time in ages and the vibe shift from louis’ part to zayn’s during pre-chorus is SO SERIOUS- it’s literally nickelodeon to fifty shades in seconds like i fear i’d stick to songwriting either

I always remember this:

[hoovesandfloorpaws]

Hey I just made this post and I've been trying to reach out to diff blogs to see if anyone knew about it or had any other information? It doesn't seem to be any info anywhere, so I would love to know what you think

2011 interview

hello sweetpea, thank you for reaching out with this! (◠‿◠✿)

‼️CORRECTION EDIT- @bulletprooflarry DID include the QX interview in her October 2011 timeline! The interview was done on 2 Oct 2011. Big thanks to @broken-beaks for mentioning that in the comments of the post: "This is from October 2nd in 2011 when they were at Nobis Hotel in Stockholm, getting interviewed by Ronny Larsson before their signing at Café Opera for the fan project #Bring1DtoMe" btw, 2 Oct 2011, the same day THIS all happened:

and the rest of my original reply:

I have written a reply in your post already, but will repeat what I wrote here.

I know this interview, yes!

QX is the largest LGBTQAI-media publisher in Scandinavia and QX (Magazine) is a monthly free queer magazine. They also host 2 annual GayGalas in Sweden and Finland.

The 1D interview from their Nov 2011 issue, page 16, was also used in a masterpost on "Harry's sexuality" from 9 April 2012 by @hazzalovesboo - I have elongated to archive the post here (it used the @lourrythoughts translation post as a source as well, which was posted on 18 Feb 2012)

The shift from 2011 to 2012 in terms of how H&L were allowed to publicly communicate, interact, behave themselves and be seen together was severe! I'm currently elongating to archive all the BPL 2011 and 2012 timelines (which will all be linked here) and man... fuck, the contrast is SO stark, it all paints such a clear picture. There's so many lovely, funny and beautiful moments for Harry and Lou and then... so many gut-churning, heartbreaking ones. :(

So yeah, H&L’s closeting had REALLY started taking off in mid 2012 and the contents of that very candid Nov 2011 queer magazine interview were definitely the opposite of what Modest!/Syco wanted/expected of/planned for H&L. Plus, the readers of that magazine were certainly not in the target group that was chosen for 1D. Plus plus, we know they were under the contractual thumb of people who -on top of everything else- were also homophobic as shit.

Thank you for digging up that interview, love (◡‿◡✿) and archiving the screenshots and linking all the sources, it is truly appreciated!

We need to preserve everything that we can as best & fact-checked as possible, because -as this clearly shows- we can't keep losing the ancient texts (ﾉ;≡ω≡)ﾉ

(on a personal note I'd also like to say that however Harry meant his answer about "i can play double, it's okay", this was 2011 and he was 17. and in 2013, when he was 19, he said he's "pretty sure" he's "not bisexual". then came 2022, when Harry was 28, and to the ask "Did Harry ever say that he was unlabelled?", here's a wonderful post incl. his interview quotes by @bluewinnerangel sexuality can be fluid. gender can be fluid. it's truly great. :') )

Thank you for your kind message 💖 x

[dreamings-free]

all this noise from solos and larries and here's what i would ask..

even 5 years ago, may 2020, could any of these people even imagine where Louis is today? playing arenas and stadiums and festivals. and his clothing line. and his festival. a live stream. two documentaries. a number 1 album made to his liking and his taste.

all of this didnt happen out of thin air. nor did "fans" alone do it. larries on here famously say they dont like his music or go to his shows or support his movies. yet they are his loudest critics. so what the fuck right do you have to comment on his career?

the problem with these people is they cant help comparing him to others. and its their own insecurities that they cant help projecting on to Louis.

you( not you, the whining bitching rad yous) barely know 10% of his contraints and problems. his radio blacklisting is obvious. he himself said UK festivals are not an option for him. but thats what he is able to mention publicly. you dont even know the rest. these are not things his label or management can snap and disappear. he is succeeding inspite of all of these forces. and he is THRIVING.

he is fine. he is happy. let him live.

and if you can let go of your freak psycho controlling, find some joy in his happiness.

this, anon. so much this! this is what I'm talking about with (lack of) perspective. people coming into my inbox or writing their snidy little posts saying he isn't growing as an artist.. are you fucking kidding me? look at how far he's come since 2020, it's nothing short of amazing - which we've also heard numerous people in the industry (aka not tumblr keyboard warriors) say.

also none of these people ever keep in mind (or conveniently forget..) that it's been less than 5 years he's been out of his contracts with sony and syco. two of which was basically a stand-still due to covid. and yes everyone in the industry was hit by covid but sony's minimal campaign for walls didn't exactly give him anything to build on during the pandemic.

the problem as I see it not so much comparing him to others, but comparing him to artists he isn't comparable to; major label popstars who make tiktok music and fit pop radio and spotify playlists. louis' music isn't that.

and look it's fine if people aren't into the music, I mean I don't listen to harry's or niall's music like at all. taste is different. but if you don't like the music then why do you need to comment on his career choices, his clothes, how much he smokes.. move tf on, stan someone else. don't expect him to change to fit your taste or expectations.

also it's so damn obvious that a lot of people don't understand his music in terms of genre and heritage. and fair enough, not everyone is familiar with british rock music history or britpop or have any interest in it. but then stop pretending you know how to market that type of music or artist.

like when people entertain the idea of louis opening for oasis on their reunion tour and I'm just like.. lmao tell me you know nothing about the british music scene. he would never, at this point in his career. like don't get me wrong, from a genre pov he totally could but he's weighted down by his boyband-xfactor past. like people would throw things at him I'm not joking. the level of music snobbery surrounding bands like oasis.. he needs more time to build and solidify himself as an artist in this scene to earn the respect to be able to do something like that. and that's also what I'm fairly sure he meant when he said that "UK festivals are not an option for him" (is there a direct quote somewhere, I can't remember?). not an option yet. because he needs to - and wants to I believe - earn that respect as an artist from the UK audience before being put on those festival stages. it's unfair and it's stupid but it's a reality.. but he will get there, I know he will. he's already earned so much respect and industry cred from the kinda artist he should be grouped in with; bands who's played AFHF, the people he's writing with.. hell, half of oasis loves him! (noel does too he's just a hiding behind getting that free kitchen lmao). mark my words, he'll get there.

anyway whoa, this got long but you're so right; he is fine. he is happy. and he is THRIVING. let him live.
