#and don’t give me the if you believe Larry is/was together then Louis can’t be a dad

[louisisalarrie]

there’s quite the convo that was going on on twitter today, which is super interesting to me, because it’s brought up often and usually from newer members to the fandom, particularly solos. we’ve been talking about this for years. so… idk, let’s talk.

this convo is of the gist that Larries made Harry and louis stop interacting due to our interest in them being together. we, apparently, are the ones who made either mgmt, or Harry and Louis themselves, entirely separate and go from best friends to absolutely nothing. and when I say absolutely nothing, like… they were so distanced it was ridiculous.

but here’s the thing… if you weren’t around at the time (there’s no issue with that btw!), ziam was the second biggest ship after larry. A bunch of Larries shipped ziam, and a lot of larry antis shipped ziam, as well as ziam having their own following regardless of larry. And yes, I was there, so im fully aware ziam wasn’t as big as Larry, but they were definitely a close second as far as “ships” go. there was also narry, zarry, lilo, and all the others, but larry and ziam dominated.

But… funnily enough, ziam weren’t separating due to a large speculation of them being in a relationship. it was printed and posted in multiple formats that zayn had said in an interview he told Liam to kiss him and he did (early days, yes), and they really gave off relationship vibes for a long time there, but they were still close and interacting very lovingly throughout the entirety of 1d. and regardless of your stance on ziam, they were clearly very close.

The thing with this is, is that gay rumours can be harmful to a fanbase with a demographic of young women, who the idea is to make the band desirable for women to be with to keep them interested etc., we’re all aware of that, but why wasn’t ziam separated? why weren’t all the boys asked to be super straight with each other? why was it so intense with larry?

Because if you don’t have anything to hide, you don’t hide anything. ziam still were carrying on in front of our faces while larry went through a multitude of stunts (that antis and now some solos also believed were stunts), and were so strictly kept apart that it was blindingly obvious something was going on. To make it seem the most real, you’d have all the boys being laddy bro pals with one another. but it was specifically larry who were extremely drastically pushed apart. of course there was no public “fight” printed to give us a reason as to why they became so far apart (that would signal an end to the band and worry etc.) to make sense of it, but they just were forced in their own lanes. anyone with two eyes can see that, and you could easily tell if they hated each other or not. but the small moments they did interact, showed us otherwise.

anyway, it’s very important to note that ziam did not stop being ziam regardless of the rumours, but larry did stop being larry drastically. they’re not homophobes, they weren’t scared of encouraging the rumours (AIMH and all the playful tweets and interactions), but they were clearly separated when larry kept being talked about further down the track. and if you can’t see that, well you may need to reevaluate and use some critical thinking. it’s happened before 1d too, it’s not rocket science.

anyway, sorry for the rant. it’s just frustrating when I see this convo when we’ve had it over and over again. so, for all the newer larries,if you haven’t already, take this into consideration as one of the very biggest pieces of larry evidence we have. because, well, it is. it may seem insignificant as it’s not a “moment”, but rather it’s a long and ongoing piece of evidence that there was something to hide, so they hid it. and they still do.

If someone told me that we will get Harry singing You're Still The One, I Will Survive, Man I Feel Like A Woman, and Hopelessly Devoted To You ALL IN THE SAME YEAR I would not belive them yet here we are. Like-

Never would I have thought SEVEN YEARS since we last saw them together, that 2022 would be one of the larriest years on record.

Hopelessly devoted to Lou

Harry dresses as Danny Zuko for Harryween, just a few days after Louis reminds us, once again, that he played Danny Zuko in a high school production.

Harry randomly uses an origami fortune teller as a symbol for his song Love Of My Life. It shows the colors red and black (strongly associated with Louis these days) and blue and green (Larry colors). Louis’ album, Faith in The Future, is set to release November 11th. National origami day.

Harry quotes a song from Leonard Cohen’s album, Anthem, which has the larriest cover art ever.

Louis’ music plays at Harry’s venues before the show

The fish on the Pleasing merch at Coachella have blue eyes/thin upper lip or green eyes/full lips

Louis acknowledges that Prada released a collection with Larry-inspired tattoos by joining a Prada Twitter space the day of the launch.

Louis uses green lights during OTB for the first time, the night Harry launches the You Are Home campaign. Not just for a moment, but during the whole song

I’m sure this isn’t everything they did this year, but it’s a lot. And some of it may be coincidence or a reach, but all of it? I really doubt it.

What do you think about this? Could someday it will happen with tk also ?

Hi anon!

Listen, Louis and Harry (Larry) is very different from Tae and Jk (Taekook). Aside from it both being huge ships with a huge following, there’s honestly little comparison.

Louis and Harry engaged with Larries very different from Tae and Jk. While Tae and Jk to me seem to mostly stay low key and hidden, there was a huge lap of time when Louis and Harry rebelled. If you think there’s proof for Tae and Jk… the proof for Louis and Harry is much more clear and extensive. In my opinion.. their relationship was a very messy and tumultuous one.

This is not the first time Louis denied Larry. One of the reasons why I no longer think they are together now is because around two years ago it became very apparent to me that Louis actively started to try and get rid of Larries. I think that’s when it became clear to him that that relationship was no longer going to happen. This denial now looks planned to me. Normally those questions used to be blacklisted, but now to me he seemed to expect the question and to be prepared to answer it. The one thing he always fails to do is adres the connection him and Harry actually had. He places all the blame on fandom, which only makes him look nasty.. because you can’t really blame fandom for keeping their believe when you yourself actually sing a song starting with the word ‘Larry’ every night of your show. Louis gives mixed signals.. that’s why people don’t leave (and that’s coming from someone who does not usually believe in artists signaling).

I don’t expect Tae and Jk to ever adress the Tkk of it all. But honestly, if we are wrong I would rather just know. I would probably believe a denial coming from their own mouths, because I feel it would be such a deviation from how they usually engage with Tkk.

Adam/Tony-Vibes ✨💔

Since I said that I would share mine if you shared yours. And when I’m saying you, I’m talking about you @edens-trinkets, because lately it feels like I’ve only used my Tumblr to openly talk about a movie only you and I seem to care about, hehe 😅

First of all; In my head I’ve got three kinds of Tony: Tony-1 has and will never experience Adam falling in love with him in return. Tony-2 is Adam’s ex. Tony-3 has started to, or is dating Adam. 

Phantom and Organs: Tony-1: depressed and lonely and buries himself in work to not feel.

The One Who Loves You Now: Adam when he slowly has realised he actually loves Tony, but maybe Tony’s in a relationship now(?) or he's just given up on love, either way, now it’s Adam’s time wait and to prove that he’s worthy of Tony’s love. 

Igloo: Tony-2

Anyone: Tony-1 or 2. Or Adam when he returns to London and he thinks and realises Tony's actually the only he's actually loved.

To Live a Life: Adam, and I’ve already based a whole fic on this song (+ a chapared follow up story that’s coming hehe) 

Our Last Summer: Young and naive Adam/Tony. So bittersweet because we know what’s coming! Or the bittersweet nostalgic feeling both of them get every time they think about their last happy summer in Paris together. 

This Happiness: Tony-1; all he ever wants is to see Adam happy, but it’s hell to see him happy with someone who isn’t him. Or Adam, because I read in the youtube comments someone who said that this song in their ears was about a drug addiction. About the false happiness drugs can give you. You crave it because it’s happiness, but it comes from a dirty place and turns into ‘hell on earth’. 

Bartender and We Are Young: Tony-2, ‘Lets just keep drinking and forget everything that’s not now, and let's spend one last night together?’ How many times hasn’t Tony told himself to not let Adam treat him like that? And how many times hasn’t Adam told himself to stop using Tony like that, but they keep ending up together, time after time. 

Waste of Time: Tony-2 

(Too Young and Always You: I wasn’t a directioner, but I like Louis Tomlinson now and I have to admit that I’ve read a few Larry Stylinson-fics… I have to say that really don’t want the conspiracy to be more than just conspiracy for their sake, it hurts too much to even believe it could be true, but it is easy to think ‘it kind of sound like they could be about Harry…💔', but it also feels very young Adam/Tony, and how, when they meet again, both feel ‘It was always you!’)

Please Please Please: Tony-3, happy, but so, so nervous! And this song is here because of you, because you’re so right, it’s very Tony-coded!

Love Love Love: They’ve both got a taste of each other, but they know they will never be able to be together. And those bright blue eyes can only meet mine across a room filled with people that are less important than you. 

Use Me: I think this is all three kinds of Tony. They’re young and Tony’s in some sort of relationship (or if it’s a friends-with-benefits-situation) with Adam, that he after a few years will realise was very destructive, he’s too happy for every and all kind of affection and attention from Adam. At the moment it doesn't matter if he's just there to fill the space, living on the hope that one day, Adam will realise that he actually love-loves Tony too.

When We Were Young: Adam when he returns to London and sees that Tony’s got a new life and that he’s moved on (at least that’s what it seems like form the outside), and now he’s moving around in the dining room just as gracefully and swanlike as he did the last time he saw him. Or Tony-2 when he watches Adam cook for Simone and despite everything that's happened he’s still a shining brilliant star, almost better and more determined than he was in Paris. 

And let’s end with some Tony-3:

You’re Still The One: Two grown ups who've resolved and forgiven everything and they want and need each other. 

Can’t Help But Falling In Love, as a wedding entrance: I assume you, just like me, have read all fics tagged with Adam/Tony on ao3, including Only Fools Rush In. Since I read that one, this song has been happy Adam/Tony in my head, and when I stumbled over James Wong’s piano version of this song, I immediately thought, “THIS IS WHAT THEY ARE GETTING MARRIED TO!!!”

True Love: I know that this song fits a lot of ships, but it’s very, very much Tony’s song to Adam! I’ve written a long fix-it that’s currently kind of paused unfinished, but in the last part/scene takes place at the party afterwards and Tony’s confiscated everyone’s phone and has drunk enough to let loose enough to sing True Love together with Kaitlin, while looking straight at Adam. 

(I really love exes to lovers, if that's not been clear before hehe 🙈)

[skepticalarrie]

Sorry this got kinda long but; Do you think that in 1D days when they were told/forced to distance and they were younger and perhaps more naive, it looked like they were kinda raging against the closet/management in whatever way they could and trying to show fans in the best way they could they were together? Rainbow bears, serenading, tattoos ect, whereas nowadays it looks to me as if they want to remain quite private about their relationship and instead of trying to convince people they are together like back in the day, the ‘proof’ we get now; queer coding, bluegreening and clothing coding (like Louis wearing maison shirt for H shirt for example) is less for proving to Larries and fans and just more like Louis making a gesture from himself to H and parallels in lyrics and the way they speak about certain topics so similar isn’t them trying to convince people of anything or intentional it’s just them being themselves and naturally we can all make the connection? Like now they’re Not necessarily trying to piss off their management (especially considering they’re probably more friendly with their individual mangers now than they were with modest) and more just being themselves as best they can. And they know that the people who actually get it will get it and they have nothing to really ‘prove’ because the fans that know, know. Probably just accepted that in order to have successful careers and keep their teams employed they can’t really come out in this still majorly homophobic industry and probably value their relationship enough to keep it for themselves, that they’ll just accept having to stunt for the foreseeable(as much as it sucks, especially lately, bleugh)

Things like the Umbro shirt for example I always thought it was more of an oopsie moment than internationally for fans/Larries. I don’t think Harry specifically went out that particular day to be caught by a random fan wearing it or else he would have worn it somewhere more public or for a media day or something. I think that was like an oops moment for them.

I just feel right now that they’re being quite private and not everything they do is connected to proving ‘Larry’ but naturally we’ll still see the connections because there’s too many. Disappearing at the same time, being so similar in mannerisms and how they define fame and success, lyrics and not wanting to say what they’re about this time around. Of course it could just be because they’re not in the band anymore so naturally the ‘proof’ we get is no longer looks and serenading and instead things you have to piece together and have knowledge of, but anyway those are my thoughts

Hi, anon! I like your thoughts, this is a very interesting discussion. In my opinion, I don't think they ever did it for us or to piss off management. Not really, or not directly. You're making everything a little too much about us, sometimes we forget it's their closeting, their fight, their relationship. We're just watching it, we don't have any active participation in it and what we know doesn't even scratch the surface of what they really have. So I think the way they felt the need to communicate so intensely at times was always about themselves, and how they were feeling. To make what they had valid, acknowledged, and somehow express their love. They were obviously so much more oppressed before, everything was so so so cruel and rough, so I think the natural reaction to this much repression was to scream louder, to fight back. And the fact we got involved, we listened to what they were saying, is just a plus, they ended up feeding from our reaction as well... and I believe that's where the bears came from. They wanted to educate people about the industry about gay rights, they wanted to make sure people were aware that this kind of things were happening and it's still happening. But it was never about us or giving us proof.

Now they're older, their relationship is more solid and mature. They went through hell and back. I fully believe they're much more in control of what they want. So maybe there isn't much need to feel what they have validated or to express that so intensely. Although it is still there, the colours, the songs, the coded clothing. It's their way to make it real and it's lovely, they need to do what they feel like doing. I wonder how many things they do it only for themselves that we have no idea of. The only things we're picking up are the stuff we already have some sort of knowledge about it, there's so much stuff we could never possibly make sense of. It just hit me one of these days that we've seen them more as solo artists than in the same band by now, more separated than together. The only thing we have to piece things together is a few hundreds of videos during 5 years of their relationship. And that's a speck of dust compared to their reality.

I talked about this several times, but I'm sure there are many reasons why they're not out, it's not that simple and I think it's very plausible if privacy is one of these reasons. I fully believe they love to express themselves like that and feel acknowledged by us, but what they have is still theirs. This is the kind of thing you only realise when you get to a certain level of maturity. And to be honest, I would also want to protect that if I was them. They have this fraction of fans who know about it and acknowledge it, and look how complicated that is already. So, good for them!

[alarrytale]

I'm more of a solo Louie than Larrie because I dont have much interest in Harry but I follow some Larries because they align more in my beliefs that Louis isn't a father, and that Larry are probably together. Solo Louies are starting to annoy me because they're turning into cupcakes. I've been good friends with some for many years and it's hard for me to end friendships but I also don't want to pretend that I agree with them yet they get frustrated when I don't. Some of my closeted solo Louie friends decided recently that they're going to treat Louis as a straight man and father even though they don't believe he is. They were discussing this last year but it was his last Larry denial and bringing up Freddie which pushed them in that direction. They don't think he is straight but they talk about him as if he is, and they talk about Freddie as if he's his child even though they don't think he is. They think they're respecting Louis' wishes and that he truly wants to be closeted. I wondered what your opinion is on it, on people who think they're helping? I kind of feel sorry for them but at the same time I don't want to give in to the gaslighting.

Hi, anon!

I think you can be friends with people who don't have the same opinions as you, but if they don't respect that you have a different opinion and you don’t have anything in common with them anymore, then i think you'll have a better fandom experience if you find someone who's views align more with your own.

I think it's sad that people see that he isn't straight and a father, but gives in to the gaslighting because it's easier on them and because they think it aligns with Louis' current wishes. I would hope they made more of an effort to read his body language in stead of reading his lips. The gaslighting is strong and i don't blame anyone for falling for it. I just wish people would resist it, i wish people were more confident in their beliefs so they don't need constant validation and regular signs that larry is real, louis isn't straight and a father. I also wish more people would think for themselves, and not be sheep and listening to others. If the only reason you believe that he's a father and straight is because your friends do, even though it doesn’t make sense to you, it's probably more important to maintain the friendship rather than seeing the truth.

You're not respecting him more if you believe the fake narrative. He'll love you just as much, but he'll pity you for falling for his lies. I think he appreciates people who see through his lies and see the truth. He doesn’t want to lie, he wants people to see him for who he is. He needs people to understand him. He isn't a bad father, he simply isn't one. You can’t erase everything you've seen, and you've seen too much telling you he isn't a father and he isn't straight. Stick to you gut and don't let others tell you what to believe, if their arguments doesn’t make sense to you.

[hyunjining]

Hello, I dont usually speak on much but as someone whos also been here for an absurdly long time I too understand how you feel haha and just wanted to give a friendly metaphorical pat on the back because it really does fuck me up too sometimes. I guess ive been wanting to talk to Someone about any part of larry for a long time but for me I guess I dont feel much most of the time because im just waiting :/ I really do believe at some point we will get answers and see whether louis and harry do get to be publicly together (or broken up) but either way its knowing that at some point I will be proven Right that keeps me mainly unbothered by the crap we see day to day. Not to say that I dont get the initial "what the actual fuck are his team doing/ who decided this/ why is this happening for the 100th time" when a new stunt or absurdity comes along - this probably applies to the documentary aswell like I know ill groan and feel terrible for half a minute if Babygate is included but I guess I managed to at some point not let it get to me as like a personal problem? I guess and not feel emotionally attached, and I hope that you too could not have it plague you so much, I wish you the best haha and hope that at some point you would be able to continue to enjoy larry even during absurd times.

Sorry if this is like a rant you dont have to post this I guess I just felt bad seeing your post and would throw in some tiny speck of hope haha but yeah its funny cause I dont think ive ever really doubted the idea that I know they were together - obviously we dont know whether its the same now but since I havent really been proven otherwise whos to say im wrong if I were to believe they managed to have a beautiful long term relationship up until now lol but yeah thats all I got for now since I dont want to make it any longer but yeah im sorry you feel that way and I hope you manage to feel even the slightest bit better about this whole ridiculous circus we all managed to be drafted into hahaha

hey, thanks for your message 💕

i’ve definitely learned to detach myself from a lot of things over the years but idk lately it feels like something has changed and i don’t fully understand it? and i’m ok with acknowledging that there are things i’ll never know and that it’s not my life. i’ve always preached that on here. but some of the more recent stunt stuff/public image decisions really don’t make any sense to me in terms of pleasing fans or marketing to a wider audience or protecting their closets. like it all just seems completely nonsensical and unnecessary and it’s not fun to sit by and watch. i’m not gonna act like i’m being forced to be here, that’s totally on me. but idk i’m just sad that this is where we are now.

there is absolutely nothing in this world that could ever convince me that h&l aren’t gay or that they’ve never been together or that louis is a dad but i hate watching their images rapidly devolve for a reason i can’t begin to fathom. i’ve always been able to be dramatic for a minute and then laugh and move on but the feeling of dread has been more and more frequent and i feel like i’m doing myself a disservice by continuing to act like stuff isn���t affecting me. i don’t really know what to do right now, because i’m not happy but i love h&l so much and they’ve been a huge part of my life for so many years and i don’t know how to let that go. i feel like the doc is going to be a decider for me, but then again i have a louis concert in june lmao so who knows man.

anyway that was massively dramatic fkfjfk but thank you for the metaphorical pat on the back and for giving me a reason to vent some more lol

🌸 Tick-Tock by @bubblegumclouds​ (6k) | General Audiences

When Louis was born to Jay Tomlinson with a tiny 2 years on his clock, it starts the most beautiful love story. Even if things are missed, fate finds a way to make it work.

🌸 I’m Gonna Love You (Until You Hate me) by @sweaterpawstyles (8k) | Explicit

As if reading his mind, Louis glanced over his glasses at Harry, presumably because Harry didn’t reply to his statement earlier.

“I decided to get my glasses out again,” he chuckled, winking at Harry. “Do you like them?“

Harry felt his face heat up. No, he didn’t just like them. He fucking loved them and wanted to ride Louis and call him daddy while he wore them. But he didn’t want to just tell Louis this.

Or

Louis wears glasses and Harry doesn’t like to be teased

🌸 New Places, New Possibilities by orphan_account (12k) | Explicit

Harry has always longed for Louis from afar, never sure exactly what Louis wanted, or if they could even have what they wanted. Even though Louis would sneak into Harry’s bed every chance he could, they’d never gone further than cuddles and innocent kisses. But when the boys are finally away from home on their first visit to LA, things finally begin to change.

🌸 Hold On To The Words You Spoke (Anchored Down In The Throat) by @justletmegohome (13k) | Explicit

“No, no. Louis, just stop. It’s not stupid, it’s never stupid. Believe it or not, I care. I care so much. Do you honestly think I’d still have my dick in your ass if I didn’t?”

Louis chuckles at that, but it’s sad, Harry notes it’s not right. “That will change when I tell you.”

“Never.” Harry kisses every bit of his face he can reach, he has no idea how that can help but he’s going to do it anyways.

“I don’t like the way I sound. ’S all,” Louis says in one breath, going coy as soon as he’s done speaking, his eyes casting downwards.

For a moment, Harry can’t believe his ears. Or the words Louis just said even if he can see them hanging in the air between them. Harry is not even sure if he listened He doesn’t want to believe them, maybe that’s why he’s having a hard time coming up with his own words.

*** Basically, Louis is loud. And then he isn’t. Harry ties him up to find out why. ***

🌸 turn you on, make you radiate by @ballsdeepinjesus (15k) | Explicit

When he presses inside for the first time in weeks, he’s pretty sure he sees stars behind his eyes at the staggering sensation of Harry’s body squeezing every inch of him. When he bottoms out, he stays buried inside for a minute just to catch his bearings, listening as Harry takes sharp breaths beneath him. When he finally feels like he’s under control, he presses his lips against Harry’s ear and whispers, “Are you ready husband?“

Harry throws his head back and groans. “Call me your spouse.”

[…or, a self-indulgent snapshot of hl’s sex lives over the course of 10+ years]

🌸 Alongside You by @ ArcadianMaggie (32k) | Explicit

The thing is, when they decided to take a break, Louis never in a million years thought Harry would move on so quickly. He thought they were going through a rough patch, just needed a little time apart. He never once considered that they might not be forever. A “bullshit” fix-it!fic. Slash, RPF.

🌸 To the Ends of the Earth by @stylinsoncity (55k) | Mature

During a yearlong hiatus, Louis visits Harry at his cabin in Idaho, where long-buried feelings ignite like the fire keeping them warm.

🌸 And Then a Bit by @ infinitelymint (158k) | Explicit

“We’d like to give the fans what they want.” Magee states, placing his hand on the table in front of him and leaning forward. “We want to give them Larry Stylinson.”

Or, take a parallel universe where Louis and Harry were never together, mix in a two year hiatus and an impending comeback, pour in a dash of lost fans, two tablespoons of strong friendship and a Modest! employee with a good idea. Add a squeeze of pretending to be a couple, lots of kisses and a tattoo or two. Stir. Serve: the mother of all publicity stunts.

(aka Harry and Louis fake a relationship for publicity. Eventually it becomes a lot less fake and a lot more real.)

I like your blog and you’ve answered lots of my anons so nicely. I need to come clean though that I don’t agree with your thinking on the Freddie front. I respect the way you feel but I do believe Freddie is his, for many reasons. I do believe it was a one night stand or a fairly short lived fling with B. She clearly wanted more from him, he didn’t but was then stuck with the situation.

The fact that he doesn’t post pics of him and F together says a lot about how he conducts himself as a dad. We know he’s in LA loads and for decent periods of time (3-4 weeks at a time). Of course he’s with his son. He is just very private about this situation and wants his time with F to be protected, hence no pics. I totally get that as some of the posts I see about his supposedly ‘fake’ child are so awful, why would he subject F or anyone in his family to that. I genuinely believe the theories about F not being his have taken a huge toll on Louis mentally and this is partly what his larry denials are based on.

Please know I am not sending you this message as an attack on the way you feel - like I said, I love your blog and your responses. You seem like a decent, kind and considerate person. I just can’t agree with you on Freddie. I also don’t think him having a son says anything about his sexuality. He can be gay/bi whatever he wants and still have a child.

I don’t expect you to post this and I hope you’ll be ok with me still reading your posts.

X

hello lovely, I’m more than happy to post this because while I am resolute in my decisions and won’t change my mind on bbg, I can understand where you’re coming from and strongly respect that and love that you’re here and love you!!!

And as for the public eye stuff, I think it would be better to keep F completely out of it if he was truly his kid. I think that would’ve been better for F. Louis can still do the denials “I have a kid and people won’t believe that, so be it” and keep F out of this. He knows the fandom uproar every time something bbg comes out.

Anywho, I’m more than happy to keep discussing if you’d like. Here is a link to all of the masterposts created about bbg, dating back to when this was all happening in real time with a lot of things that can be neglected to be mentioned these days. Including B having a fan twitter account created for her before we even knew who she was.

There’s a lot in there and if you’re resolute and have your mind made up or don’t wanna read it, I have no problem with that!! I’m not here to give you hate or try and convince you, but it’s a great resource for everything there is about bbg if you’re curious to look further into why I believe in what I do.

Thanks angel xx

perfect now - a close reading

only pure and true love for this one. it’s soft and sweet because the one he wrote it for is and needs cheesy uncool romcom soundtrack-worthy affirmations and it’s the most wonderful thing oh my the flurries 

some album booklet art for your viewing pleasure

((just a warning for below: while the lyric analysis was kept fairly neutral and close to the words and their meaning, more and more parallels did ensure me larrying out by the time the analysis kicked off so if you’re not into that, you can skip this one!))

⟼ check out @bluewinnerangel​ ‘s magnificent post with all the parallels to 1d/h&l bc it’s exhaustive and was a source for mine <3 thank you again for your service <3 bc this song really is a fanpiece of every song that has been important to them throughout their career so far, whether they wrote it or not, and it’s honestly kinda impressive

SUMMARY

you’re sad and i love you so much i will do anything to make that undone but while you’re sad know that i sill very much love you and you’re also strong enough to conquer all of this on your own but i’ll be by your side anyway

lyric breakdown ft. the many parallels, incl. little things, through the dark and wmyb

what this says about louis, his partner and the relationship he is in

never gonna dance again frenzy

identity 

louis is a marvellous majestic sonofabitch basically <3

walls, track 10

～ little things “you still have to squeeze into your jeans, but you’re perfect to me”

You don’t feel pretty and it’s hard to miss

You don’t feel pretty and it’s hard to miss

later lyric: “like a neon sign” - i see through you trying to hide away your insecurities

I wish that you could see my point of view As someone staring back at you

“you” is also staring at him, but perhaps is too insecure to realise how mutual the adoration is

i wish i could get you out of your own negative spiral and give you a look at yourself from my perspective

～ wmyb “everyone else in the room can see it, everyone else but you” 

～ wmyb “right now i’m looking at you and i can’t believe you don’t know you’re beautiful”

～ little things “you never love yourself half as much as I love you, and you’ll never treat yourself right darling but I want you to. If I let you know, I’m here for you, maybe you’ll love yourself like I love you”

On Friday night when we’re all out I turn to you and you’re looking down And you don’t wanna dance I know you love to dance You never stop given half the chance

heavy echoes of kmm again, but the opposite: the “nightmare on the dance floor” doesn’t want to dance

when “you” is confident rlly not being subtle with who i think that is, they love to dance <-> tpwk “feeling good in my skin, i just keep on dancing”

“i know you love to dance” = i know what you love bc i love you

“given half the chance” 

～ tpwk “giving/given second chances”

given a chance tattoo, making another appearance (see below for more tattoo meltdowns)

Just keep your head up, love, keep your head up

term of endearment <3 

～ dlibyh

this album is full of encouragement to keep going and as much as it gives me life it ruins me 

Don’t hide away, don’t ever change

“be happy, proud”

～ “just hold on”

“pick someone who’s supportive”

Keep your head up, love, keep your head up Don’t look away, don’t look away

don’t look away from me

～ through the dark “and I can see your head is held in shame”

Cause everybody’s looking at you now, my, oh my

they have the stage to themselves / new career paths they’re doing on their own

could also mean ppl they’re going out with are looking at them, which “you” interprets as sth negative, which makes them self-conscious, while they’re actually admiring them bc they steal the scene

～ wmyb “you’re turning heads when you walk through the door”

I guess some queens don’t need a crown And I know why Even when your tears are falling down Still, somehow, you’re perfect now

“you” is royalty to louis, to put it simply 

they don’t need something on their head to make it known to everyone else - they’re a queen and everyone knows it

gendered: female - also used in drag contexts - the only time L has used any gendered word to identify his partner on the entire album (more on this below)

～ steal my girl "she's been my queen since we were sixteen" can't believe i forgot this one thank you @mortalenemiestolovers for reminding me!!!

～ falling

～ through the dark “you tell me that your tears are here to stay”

You never do, but if you asked me to I’ll tell the truth lying next to you

“you” never asks for affirmations directly, but by saying shit like their pants are too tight make it clear enough to L that they do need to hear once in a while that it’s not true

Cause you’re the only one when it’s said and done You make me feel like being someone 

Good to you even at your worst

～ always you

i love you so much you are a force of life to me, and even when you hate me i want more

～ drag me down “If I didn’t have you there would be nothing left, the shell of a man who could never be his best. If I didn’t have you, I’d never see the sun. You taught me how to be someone” (sung by louis first, harry second) 

～ through the dark “even if you scream and shout, it’ll come back to you and I’ll be here for you

You steal the scene and it’s unrehearsed

reference to working on a stage - their natural presence wins everyone over - that charisma is never manufactured

Don’t you wanna dance? Just a little dance I’ll never stop given half the chance

L keeps encouraging them, will also not pass by any chance to dance with them

Every insecurity, like a neon sign, as bright as day If you knew what you were to me You would never try to hide away

“it’s hard to miss”

L sees through them trying to hide their insecurities, pretend to be strong

～ through the dark “but I know you were only hiding”

SYNTHESIS

Perfect Now is not a fan favorite and I am so not here for that discourse, so please do not pester me with negativity about this chocolate drop of a song. 

As others have pointed out, the parallels with other songs written by Louis, Harry or for One Direction are extremely present. Especially Little Things is echoed loudly, but there’s so much more to be read, as you’ve seen. These are songs that are clearly near and dear to Louis, bc he wrote them or bc performing them was special, like with Little Things and What Makes You Beautiful. A lot of the same emotions come back in Louis’s writing, so much so that you can’t help but see the larger story behind it all. Throughout Walls you can hear him singing about not giving up and holding your head high despite hardships, and if you look back at his earlier writing, it’s always been there. Through the Dark is an early and striking example of this style of Louis song: you’re sad and i love you so much i will do anything to make that undone but while you’re sad know that i sill very much love you and you’re also strong enough to conquer all of this on your own but i’ll be by your side anyway 

basically through the dark’s chorus:

Oh, I will carry you over Fire and water for your love And I will hold you closer Hope your heart is strong enough When the night is coming down on you We will find a way Through the dark

It is very clear that Louis is faced with a partner - I can freely say it’s Harry now right? are the antis gone by now? i think so - that struggles with his body, with his identity, with how he wants to present himself vs how opinions on that might push him down and dampen his spirit. Louis, always the supportive boyfriend, then tries his best to make him see the light, while keeping that space for his sadness, his struggles, or their joint struggles. Accept the sadness but don’t lose your heart to it.

I’ve linked @bluewinnerangel​ ‘s post at the start of this post, but I need to stress how good it is once more as I also shamelessly insert a screenshot from it here bc it makes me feel a lot and summarizes perfectly just how deeply Perfect Now is woven into the history of their lives, relationship and especially “you”s/Harry’s personal struggle with their identity/body/confidence...

Because yes, i absolutely think these tattoos are being echoed in the song. “Never gonna dance again” as a lyric and then as a tattoo on Harry’s legs like shackles around his ankles represents the sensation of shame, of being stuck, bc of your desires, bc of your sexuality. Obviously we can never know why Harry got the tattoo, as in what experience pushed him to choose those lyrics or what exactly he recognizes in himself, but it’s safe to say it’s about the struggles of being queer and navigating relationships with that identity and with others.

Most importantly, the sense of shamelessly dancing, dancing like no one’s watching, dancing together with your lover, as a celebration of self, life, love, is the key here. Harry got that tattoo ages ago, at a time when he undoubtedly felt way more stuck. When he couldn’t dance freely the way he wanted to and with whom he wanted to. Perfect Now is a reminder to him, an encouragement to still dance if he wants to, no matter what people say or think. Significantly, then, Harry’s own Treat People With Kindness heavily features that same sentiment, but in an extremely positive light: i have found a place (in life and in myself) where i feel like i have given and was given second chances and now i dance bc i finally feel good in my skin.

Louis has obviously been there from the start, or at least from when or before Harry properly started experimenting with/questioning how he likes to present and how he identifies as. Before he ever dared to consider pulling on a pair of women’s skinny jeans, never mind a ball gown. Louis has seen him limit himself as well as being limited by others ofc and has always seemed to have been there, with a secure hand on Harry’s back, to encourage him. Even at a time when boys wearing nail polish or skirts was unthinkable. Just remember how much encouragement Harry needed when growing out his hair; Louis literally joined him. yes this might make me cry okay i need to stop bc i’m going off track and this is just becoming a larry breakdown while i was trying to hype up this beautiful song. 

What I’m trying to say is: Louis has always seen all of Harry. He’s always had his back, no matter what. He’s loved every part of him. And now, on a completely gender neutral album, in the sweetest, softest song off of the entire thing, Louis puts in the word “queen”, and that is so very deliberate it makes me want to scream. It’s Louis confirming his love again and again while affirming the multitudes contained by Harry, including everything involving his gender journey. brb crying

It’s a raw Louis, an honest, sweet, kind, loving partner, and both of them are fucking lucky to have each other, and I also wish that all of us end up in a caring and wholesome relationship like that. I truly do.

[jaanlouis]

Nothing has made me more uncomfortable this year that certain blogs coming out (haha) with their super weird opinions about Louis. Like, I am sorry but it isn't healthy to somehow view a person you have never met and frankly also do not know at all as this „saviour“ for you and whatnot. Yeah it's cool if music or interviews or the prospect of going to a concert have helped and do help you through tough times in your life but man some takes I have read were more than a little concerning. I get that a lot of folks here have put so so much time and effort into being a fan irl and on social media and that it can feel absolutely crushing if something like the dm and shit happens but I'm sorry, „being a larrie“ really isn't (and shouldn't be) more than you independently believing they're together. It's not a membership or a lifestyle or something claimable that gives you the right to be owed something. And if you find yourself affected in your daily life by, frankly, fictious (in a sense of we don't know their real life) things on the internet, then I hope you find the peace in your life that you deserve, far away from fandom.

I totally agree! For some ppl, there’s a sense of entitlement and they feel that bc they’re larries they know hl better than the average fan but that doesn’t mean we actually Know them, nor can we put our expectations on them to fulfill a certain role. Also quite frankly if all this discourse was sparked by the dm, I find that kinda stupid. We’ve been through worse, this is nothing and if you feel that it is affecting you to the point where you think it’s okay for you to tell Louis how to manage his own closet I think it’s time to take a step back. Just because you have put time and effort into being a fan or whatever doesn’t mean hl owe you anything and I really wish some ppl would understand that. Especially when they have all the information and are doing what they think is best in their circumstances. We don’t know anything so we can’t say that louis should do this or Louis should do that and what gets to me the most is when people act like these things affect them more than they affect louis. I just want people to remember that if any of us need to, we can walk away. Louis can’t, and I’m not ever gonna hold that against him.

[awesomefringey]

Hmmmm for me it’s never about liam seeming like he’s ‘off the rails’ - more that he seems to say and do things that make him come across as the opposite of self-aware. Like, aligning himself with ~entrepreneur-bros~ Steven Bartlett and Gary Vee, doing a podcast with a problematic person like Paul Logan, all this crypto stuff. I find it hard to watch or listen to anything he does because it’s all so cringe.

I know we all like to believe all the boys hang out in private (bar Zayn perhaps but who knows) but I think there’s a reason Liam and Harry haven’t been photographed together since, when was it, Louis’ X-factor performance? I think Harry’s people would want Liam’s “brand” as far away from Harry as possible. I know I would, if I were marketing the biggest male solo artist right now - I’m a larrie and I love Louis and Harry btw, this wasn’t any shade on Harry.

I just can’t work Liam out at all. He’s obviously struggled with a lot of stuff both in the band and after the band, and I have a huge amount of empathy for him because of that. But he always seems two seconds away from saying something stupid. He’s the kind of person who’d be photographed with Boris fucking Johnson (for those who don’t know: the leader of the Conservative party in the UK) and not understand why aligning yourself with a right wing political party is a bad thing.

Idk sorry this was just a big brain dump.

About the "off the rails" comment, I do get the impression that so many find Liam unbearable and therefore "needing HELP" - not in a way that says give him better management but more like "put him into a facilities and give him time to recover".

But now that you've said it, and me totally feeling you there about Liam being two seconds away from saying something stupid, maybe this is worth looking into.

What do people actually mean when they say Liam needs help? Do they mean professionally or personally? And what is it based on? The fact he says Zayn is a dick and he knows why? Or him sipping on a whiskey? Or him talking about pretending to be someone else when he's scared? Or him taking his shirt off every chance he gets?

[dogsliampaynedoesntinstagram]

I read through your thoughts on Larry bait. I think your take is interesting and I can agree that the meaning fans give to things aren’t necessarily the same meaning Harry or Louis give to things and they might not care about fan meanings. In my opinion, sometimes they do things that seem like fan service. Like when Louis wore the giant H shirt. While it is possible that he paid no attention to the giant initial of the man some think he is secretly dating, it does seem rather unlikely that it didn’t cross his mind. There are many possibilities about why that particular shirt was worn and I can’t know what Louis intended.

If you don’t believe in the clues for fans, what makes you think they are together? The absence of a believable relationship with someone else and the belief they were together while in the band?

To be clear, I’m not fishing to be convinced about their relationship either way. I am most curious as to how you arrived at your conclusion based on the very limited information. I guess what I’m asking is how do you think through the situation and how do you consider possibilities? Which is not about Larry at all I guess, but rather an ask on learning how to think with more options of possibilities. Am I making any sense?

Thanks for this anon - it raises really interesting questions and I'll try and work through them.

I think the 'H' top is a really interesting example, because it is one of the few that I think is very unlikely to be a coincidence, because it was generally so bland and the occasion was so significant (it's possible that the shirt meant a lot to Louis for some other reason and he was like 'I know what people will think, but fuck it'. But its blandness makes that a long shot).

Louis wore the 'H' shirt in December 2020, at a time while Harry was away. It'd been a really strange and difficult year, and things were getting worse by the day. What bothers me about this line of arguing is that it centres fans rather than Louis in decisions Louis' life. If the 'H' is for Harry, I think Louis probably wore it because he's in love, and it was a really big thing and he wanted Harry. (Or maybe they'd had a fight it was all a way of communicating with each other - if you're starting point is about them rather than fans, then there are lots of options). When Louis and Harry do do things that are about their relationship, I think their relationship, and not fans are front and centre.

My whole objection to the 'baiting' framework is it puts the person who is claiming that they're being baited at the centre of not just their own universe - but everyone else's as well. "I am thinking or feeling something therefore that must have been someone's intention".

In terms of your other question - why do I think they're together? I've been pretty clear about this - way back in March 2016 I thought 'I'll continue to believe they're together until it becomes possible not to'. I didn't necessarily think that would be for long. I've set out when I'll change my mind several times and that's remained largely unchanged (a convincing relationship with someone else, Harry coming out in a way that is clear that he's not available as a fantasy boyfriend without Louis, it being logistically impossible for them to be in a relationship, some things they could say about each other).

There are specific things that made me think they were together over the last few years (The Umbro shirt, when Louis existed in time and space early in the pandemic etc.) And there are moments when I look at things that are ambiguous and think 'yes this means Larry is real'. Sometimes I feel things in ways that I wouldn't necessarily share, and certainly wouldn't argue with.

I think they're together, I know I might be wrong, I'm happy with that ambiguity. And when I get too worked up one way or another, I find it useful to acknowledge how little we actually know about celebrities lives, and how normal it is to be wrong about them.

[skepticalarrie]

Ok we had a couple of days to decompress from the tour. Let me ask you, why do you think he was so loud? So when he did the live stream, larries were prepared to not mention Harry at all, we kept the whole stream about him, then he walked out with a giant H shirt. Ok. Then for the tour, I swear larries were gonna keep the whole thing about his music only. Zero Harry mention at all. But then Louis made so much of the tour about Harry. The aggressive pointing at larry things. Like the sing walls if larry is real was undeniable. I've watched every clip available and he 100% pointed at that sign. When the one fan had the eviscerate larries sign, Louis bolted to that side of the stage and sang "larry" to their face, twice!. The bluegreening with the drinks, and the green lighting onstage and around arena, the blue greening with the shirt in Houston then 28 days later in Seattle, the awesome Denver larry reference with the blue and white shirt. I mean come on, singing 7 with the bloody larry lyrics every night. Every single one of those things I mentioned was a choice. Larries didn't force or trick him into doing any of them. He went out on stage and made a conscious decision to do it. Why do you think that is? Did he do it for him and Harry? Since this is their only way of professing their love for eachother publicly. Did he do it for us to reassure us? As far as I'm concerned, he straight up confirmed larry is real and they're together to this day. But is this something that just stays in the larry fandom and doesn't reach solo harries? Solo Louies were mad at us anytime we did anything larry related, but other then the singing of sweet creature outside his bus, I don't think we did anything that crossed any lines. Maybe this is all just a competition with him and Harry to see who can outlarry who lol

Hi anon! So first of all, I think it was established by Louis himself that he would 100% make everything about Larry when he first covered 7 (not only that but he tweeted about it beforehand!!). It was his first solo show and larries were very concerned to make things about him, and the motherfucker went and sang Princess Park and Larry calls a load of smoke in and killed us all. We don’t have the power to make anything about Larry, they’re the ones always doing that.

As for being loud and engaging with several larry related signs and stuff like that on tour, I don’t believe they ever did anything or will ever do with the purpose of reassuring us or giving us *proofs*. They always communicated with us, and I always believed it was because they needed that, as a way to cope with everything they went through, to be heard, to make it more real, to make sure their fight was being acknowledged. I can’t even imagine how it must feel like to be so severely closeted like they are, and to have to hide such a long term relationship like that, but I understand that the feeling of not being seen and therefore what they have not feeling real enough somehow must be devastating. So I always felt like they did that to express themselves. And listen… Louis always did that, I think that while he was in the band he was more severely controlled which gave him less freedom to do it, but he always did. But the reality is that we never had any sort of experience like that with solo Louis before. This is his first solo tour after years of anticipation. Plus his fanbase changed a lot during the pandemic, I don’t know about you guys but I was very surprised to see that most of the crowd on his shows in the US were larries. This is huge! He wouldn’t be interacting with so much larry stuff if there wasn’t so many larries being loud and bringing signs in the first place (which is what happens with Harry), so I think that his attitude towards that is mostly a reaction to what he is seeing in front of him 99% of the time and also the 🏳️‍🌈 safe 🏳️‍🌈 environment that was created.

But I’m not going to lie, he was very loud. And it surprised me a lot of times, he truly didn’t hold back and it was beautiful to see. Of course he will never be actually confirming Larry until they’re out, there’s still a lot of plausible deniability involved in pointing at signs. So I’m not sure if it was the result of a combination of a number of factors like actually having more freedom and safe space so he could express himself like that, OR if maybe we’re talking about something deeper here. I mean, there was a shift with babygate right before his tour, and that’s weird. They just brought the kid to one of the shows and for what…. So I wonder if both things are connected, if there’s a movement behind the scenes we’re not aware of. We’re going to have to wait and see, I guess. But whatever it is, I hope Louis keeps doing his thing and delivering our daily dose of larry on every single show of this tour if that’s what he wants 😂😂

[larrysballetslippers]

Harry is Louis' baby: X-factor edition

So... I watched the x-factor journey of One Direction again. Why? Well...because I'm a masochist and love suffering. Because I like watching old videos of 1d and not sleeping at reasonable hours. I was cozy in my bed, enjoying and crying about my little beans singing their hearts out. But then…

I got to week two of the live show and noticed something I never noticed before and I watched this part like three times already. Larry being already a literal couple!!!

Now you're probably thinking: "Aaliyah, they've been couple-goals since the day they met", no no, this is different. Let me show you how this is different, with my poor editing skills. Somebody probably made a post about this already, but I couldn’t find it, so… I’m pretending I found new information, hehe. I should be writing my fanfic, but what's our life's motto ladies? ~~PROCRASTINATION~~

First, enjoy my little beans trying their absolute best to wave on queue. My baby Zayn being a little late. (This is week 1, btw)

So, we begin week two with nothing special, cooking stuff, eating stuff, interview stuff, blah di blah di blah. But then... it's rehearsal time! There’s a problem!! Oh no, what happened? Poor baby Harry is so nervous he's getting sick. I first thought this was just drama, but no, he's actually nervous and can't sing.

The judge lady I don’t know the name of gives the audience an explanation why screwing up in a band is worse than screwing up alone. Like, we get it lady, let’s move on... 

So we go to the performance, Liam starts singing, Kelly Clarkson, always fun. Doing good, doing good. They do well on the chorus too. It’s all gifs, I don’t know how to edit videos. I’ll put the video down below.

Then we go to verse 2, wait!!!! Liam is singing again, but why??? We have another very talented boy who is pushed to be the favorite of this band, not to mention four other talented kids, why isn't he singing?

He's not singing because he can't, without throwing up at least. And I can prove it, hahaahhah ha ha *insert evil laugh*. Before we go any further, let appreciate these two adorable beans dancing together. I’m not crying, you’re crying.

Okay, let’s move on. In the next horribly edited pic you can see where Harry was supposed to stand. He should stand in the middle, in the first and/or second verse. I think both, because Liam is singing right now. They reheared it that way, so that’s the final decision, or is it? 

In the live show the order changed, that’s very weird. Now Liam stands in the middle, during the first verse and chorus.

Now, Harry should move to the middle to do his solo, but no no no. Zayn moves to the middle for the rest of the song, ending it. 

Now, why would they do that last minute? I think they wanted the spotlight away from Harry, so he wouldn’t puke on national television. They gave his solo to Liam and let him blend in the background. Of course, the camera still followed him, but at least he didn’t have to look at them. He has come so far, I’m so proud of him. 

Now we know Harry wasn't capable of singing a solo this week, we can go to the Larry part, because that's probably why you're here. We know that Louis was all over Harry, all the time, like every single scene. But... the thing is, it wasn't like that in the beginning. Except for a few cute moments, like this one: Spot the couple.

It's rehearsal time, Harry isn't feeling well, everyone's concerned. They form a ‘worry circle’ for the dramatic effect. Louis isn't in the ‘worry circle’, but we know he's in the area. My poor baby, I can't watch this scene a lot, it makes me cry. 

When Harry starts explaining why he was nervous, the older laddy lad looks very fondly at him. Like everybody is looking at the camera, except…Mr sbb. It was so quick, you wouldn’t have noticed it if you didn’t look for it. 

Believe when I say it only gets worse. When they start performing, Louis just looks like a proud father tbh, just look at this. Harry does his little dislocated shoulder dance and Louis just fonds.

I made some cute chorus gifs that don’t add to my post, but I just saved these for myself. 

Now we have made gifs of every second, let’s analise some stuff again. You would think after this, Harry would leave Louis’ side and do his thing. Nope, he doesn’t leave him for a second. 

The groups breaks apart in two. Now we have Niall, Liam and Zayn as one group. HarryandLouis^tm as the other group.  The two groups go to both sides of the stage, I’m not saying that was the plan, but that’s what I’m saying.

I know I just said the team probably put Harry there to get him out of the spotlight, but listen to me reaching for a sec. Harry needed Louis, Louis made Harry feel comfortable. What if Louis proposed to stand next to him, or Harry asked Louis? We know how close they were and how Louis was literally the most emotinal stable of the band. 

Let me explain. Niall was a ball of energy and in his own world. Zayn was super shy and nervous. Liam was too focused on the singing part. Harry… we’ve seen how nervous Harry was... I’m not saying Louis wasn’t nervous, not at all, but we know he always puts others before himself. He cares for people’s wellbeing, that’s in his nature. He is a natural leader, but in a caring way. He held them up, so the band could shine. In this case he needed to hold Harry up, so his favorite boy wouldn’t fall apart. 

You don’t believe me, fine, let me show you some more. Let’s skip to the end of the performance. 

Cute right? You know what isn’t cute? The fact Louis doesn’t let Harry go, ever!!!

Okay I lied, sorry. He lets him go, FOR 2 SECONDS!!! This next gif is 1.2 seconds...

Then we go right back to being clingy boyfriends. 

I cut the judges out, because I just don’t want to watch their ughly faces. Sorry not sorry. The lady I don’t know the name of gives them a compliment. The obvious one, “The girls will love you.” Harry becomes cheeky, but Louis doesn’t let him go.

I skipped a lot, but Louis stays there with his hand for two and a half judges. He removes his hand for a second, but it goes back right away. This is becoming a problem mates, you’re not being laddy lads right now. 

Okay I’m done making gifs, just watch the video please. He just keep Harry close the whole time, it’s too mushy mushy for me. Not really, I love it.

When they’re done with the interview, Harry yeets out of there. He just walks away, with a small wave, but he’s sprinting. 

I’m not saying they were in a relationship at this point, but you can see with who Harry feels most comfortable. Harry is noticebly nervous for the whole day, but he keeps it dry, his eyes and the floor. Louis reassures Harry the whole performance and even minutes after. I just wanted to show you the importance of the beginning stages of a relationship. Harry knows he can count on Louis when he’s at his lowest, even before they were romanticly attached. Louis knows Harry trusts him and can rely on him. They supported each other from the biginning and I think that’s beautiful. 

So this was basicly just a compliation of sweet-cheeks reassuring his babycakes, and I live for it. I hope your day is a little bit better with this information. Enjoy this last gif of my cuties.

Here’s the video btw
