If this entire thing was not planned by him/his team to be blown out of proportion, gaining pop base and media attention like that, I can't wait to see how he's gonna throw us the next set of breadcrumbs. Even if this WAS planned, and they were the ones who sent it to media, we're still gonna get "pacified" bc he's gonna do something unhinged to keep us sated and everyone's going to forget about it. Like always š„°
Nope. I wonāt forget. He can wear Harryās rainbow sequin jumpsuit and his horrific mask from the SOTT video when he gets on stage the next time and I still wonāt forget.
He seemed so out of it answering every questionā¦ He thought the fan was talking about practicing music when she was talking about footballā¦ not to mention that almost every question he was being rude to. I don't understand why it's so different from how he treats people face to face.
I donāt even know why he showed up to begin with. Was it meant as a treat for fans? A thank you?
Instead it felt like Louis thought āItās Halloween, let me dress up as a HET FROM HELL and give my Larries a little horror show.ā
Gina I understand that some people got hurt by the way Louis answered. But returning tickets or skipping merch is ridiculous. Donāt they love Louis for the person he is and go to concert for his music? If they are hurt by the reply then it shows that all they care about is his relationship and his personal life and nothing moreš¬
No, love. People arenāt angry because Larry is or isnāt real. People are angry at the way he chose to go about making that statement and essentially saying Larry is believing in childish conspiracy theories. Weāre all fucking sick of the gaslighting. No one wants to be belittled or mocked for things they believe. Especially when his behavior, his lyrics, his actions are a major reason why people believe those āconspiracy theoriesā in the first place.

thinking about fans forcing kit to out himself and then Alice writing scene after scene after scene of people telling nick he doesnāt owe it to anyone to tell them heās bisexual šššššš
I am not going to lie: Iāve been upset about it for three days now, swinging back and forth between being super angry and trying to be okay with it. I thought about not answering this, because I donāt want to open this Pandoraās box, but I decided to in the hopes that I can help someone else. I wonāt be answering follow up questions/reactions, though. Thatās my boundary.
Now, I think the important thing is to call this out for what it is and stop making excuses: itās an Olivia tattoo, and whether itās for a stunt, a cat, a house, the One Direction song, an unknown godchild, it doesnāt matter. He has it, he showed it off (rather purposefully), he knew what we would think and the kind of debate/restlessness it would spark.
Can I forgive him for that, point blank, without further reasoning or rationalizing? Iāve decided I can.
Why? Because I donāt think it negates all heās given me these past thirteen years and especially this last leg of tour, and because I donāt think what he does for PR and/or to protect his closet is a statement about who he is as a human being. No one has to agree with me. Itās a decision Iāve made for myself and Iām happy with it. If this is your red line (and I fully encourage you to ask yourself this regularly) then thatās fine. Grieve the person you thought he was and take steps to distance yourself from what hurts you. I donāt mean to minimize this: walking away is hard as shit. But he will be okay, I promise. The person who needs to be okay the most is you.
Do I think they really dated/that he was in love with her? No.
Why? Because he looked miserable every time he was around her, because he took very clear steps to ensure she wasnāt tied to his music (which Iāve noticed he holds pretty sacred above all), and because at the end of the day he still broke up with her two days after his very public last contractual obligation was filled and kissed her friend extremely publicly.
Can you find ways to argue around that? Of course you can. You can find ways to argue around anything. But for me, thatās not how you treat someone youāre in love with even if theyāve pissed you off beyond belief and messed with your career. Nothing Harry has done outside of this stunt shows me he would treat people he cares about that way, even in his worst moments. Itās incongruous to everything Iāve seen and known of him and his character in the last thirteen years. I may not know him personally, and I may be wrong about him, but again, thatās my conclusion and Iām happy with it.
Do I think the tattoo means somethingās in the works to rekindle the stunt? I truly donāt know.
But if it is, then itās been planned for a long, long, long time (he had the tattoo during Daylight filming, which is May 2022; the BUA was Nov 2022), and thereās nothing I can do about it. It is what it is.
Iāve always preached being okay with not knowing, being okay with being uncomfortable, and this is certainly making me walk the talk.
The bottom line is: Am I okay with the things I have answers to? Yes.
Am I okay with the thing I donāt have answers to? I am working on it.
But thatās my responsibility, not Harryās.

*thank you, Gina, for your contributions to clearing my head and for many of the phrases I used here to express myself.
iām sorry to bring this up again, but i wanted to ask how are you making sense of harry having his former girlfriendās name tattooed on his thigh if you donāt think they were really together? iām not a larrie and i follow you for your louis content, but i respect your opinions, so i guess iām coming more from a place of curiosity rather than seeking reassurance. do you not even entertain for one second the idea that you mightāve been wrong about things? that harry was really in a relationship with olivia? that he might actually be attracted to women? that he mightāve been with louis once upon a time but not anymore? have you ever challenged your confirmation bias? again, iām not trying to attack you, i really just want to understand where you stand. i hope u donāt take this the wrong way.
well first of all you bring up the very good point that there are actually multiple Qs at play and not just one, despite the fandom's (and my) attempts to simplify things. I personally am open to the possibility that Harry and Louis are no longer together- we don't have enough info to say for sure either way about that, and I am constantly recalibrating and considering and I'm going to be totally honest, getting flat out ANNOYED at how often I find myself being like oh damn they ARE still (or again) together ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? Because it seems so improbable and illogical! You think I don't KNOW I sound fucking crazy?! Absolutely infuriating, and yet there are just all these little Things all the time. Plus ofc the fact that they both constantly wink wink larrie stuff to the fandom which could just be playing to the crowd... except then they both continually take it that little extra way that makes me go oh but... you really didn't NEED to go THERE that seems VERY pointed?? But also sometimes I go well. Okay, maybe not. Since they both seem super happy at this point, it doesn't stress me out to think they might have split, the way it would if they seemed miserable and were still churning out heartbreak songs, but it's schrodingers relationship and with all the savvy they've acquired around this stuff and all the balls they're keeping in the air wrt to fandom etc that's unlikely to change in favor of us knowing anything for sure for a very long time, if ever. But I do not doubt that they WERE together, it's simply not realistic. The evidence of it is overwhelming and imo undeniable when taken all together.
And the thing is that knowing one thing with certainty (that they were together back when), having really looked at the things that happened during that time, does actually have a lot of bearing on the rest of it even if they aren't together anymore. Because knowing that and having seen the way fake relationships to make them seem straight were managed back then means that when I see the EXACT SAME things being done in the current day, like they are working from a fucking blueprint, no, I don't look at that and think it might be real. I know that Louis and Eleanor wasn't real in... whenever they allegedly got together lol, that story still isn't even quite straight, so why would I believe they were together in 2020? And if I know Louis has a tattoo for a fake girlfriend why would it change my mind about a million things I can see with my own eyes if Harry did the same (if indeed he even has who tf knows)?
So despite what I said at the beginning, in the end it kind of does just come down to the one question people are always asking, are you a larrie? Because when you've actually been down the rabbit hole of details that ends up with you saying yes to that question, it's like acquiring a rosetta stone that unlocks the ability to read everything else, like putting on xray glasses, and I look at what is so obviously a publicity relationship (holivia) and whether H and L are still together has nothing to do with why I don't think it's real. Like could a celeb relationship be both used in typical ways for publicity and be or become real on some level (looking at you Liam, heyyy), sure, but for this question the fact that I have never seen Harry show the slightest sign of attraction a single woman in his life and he so clearly embraces and identifies so strongly with gay male culture in every possible way and never shuts up about how much he loves cock does play into my thinking; I simply do not think he is attracted to women, no, and I have yet to see him do anything that doesn't seem consistent with things a closeted pop star might chose to do. So in conclusion yes I have challenged my bias and decided I'm right lol! But for real- all the time I consider that they perhaps aren't together but that isn't really the point when it comes to believing they are gay.
I don't know if it's Taylor Russel or not (apparently it's her but well who knows) I think she's really pretty and she's not problematic at all but if they're friends or . I mean, she's not like Olivia, last year everyone was like "why can't he have relationships or friendships with unproblematic people" and as far as I know this girl is really kind and sweet and almost everyone's started loving the idea of them as a couple, AGAIN we don't know what relationship they have but if their relationship or friendship is PR at least they tried to find someone better than Olivia. And you need to remember HS4 is coming and some think it'll be about Holivia sooo.
I hope every song on HS4 is so obviously NOT about Olivia that even she canāt create drama.
And yeah, I really donāt know anything about TR, but the few people Iāve spoken to about her who seem to be aware of her all say similar things to what youāve said. So, my fingers are crossed.
If he has to stunt, all we really want is for it to be someone comes across like the type of smart/interacting/nice person heād actually be seen with so heās not crucified by association, and for them to actually be a decent human so heās not miserable.
So, Corte de la Maestra is a hotel in Civita (the town where H has a house). The town is tiny, like less than 20 people live there. But there are tons of feral cats. This particular cat seemed to live at the hotel. Harryās original finsta was named for, and had a photo of what appeared to be, this cat.
Anyway, I really was making a joke with that post, although I wouldnāt put it past him. But honestly, whatever that tattoo says, itās not to commemorate a woman he spent two years in a PR relationship with looking more miserable than Iāve ever seen him look.
