Larger Than Life : New Rules

"Well I'm here to set some rules down, y'all have been here almost 2 weeks and have fought like cats and dogs this shit is fucking crazy y'all. So here's what it is"

"Is his name bow wow because thats the sound dogs make?" I ask to no one in particular, I am honestly amazed by this new information. "you know since he was brought up by snoop."

"can you stop?" Lisa hisses at me.

"What? I am amazed. but I am sorry." I apologize to him "go ahead."

"Thank you." he smiles at the table. "One, There's no more fighting that goes for everyone. One more fight and I don't care who started it y'all both will be sent home." Looks are exchanged around the table. "two, No more destruction to anyones property whether it's clothes, makeup, jewelry anything you will be sent home with a fine to the damages." More looks are exchanged, though everyone passes glances at Emma. "Three, No more smoking in the crib take that shit outside"

"Cigarettes or-" Ian starts but Bow Wow interuppts.

"Both! And lastly each person will be voting someone home every week."

"FINALLY!" Emma yells "I mean tell me we weren't all thinking it. This house could do with less skanks." She takes a deep sip of her wine.

"BUT back home your fans also get to decide who will be sent packing if both answers are different from fans and then both parties gonna have to duke it out in a challenge in order to stay in the house what kind of challenge you ask? Well that's something y'all just gonna have to wait for. Any questions?"

We all start talking about our opinions on the matter and finally someone asks “what happens when we call our lifeline. Are they up for elimination as well?” 

“Yeah I need to know that too.” She looks around the table “just wait when I call mine.” 

“Wait for what? Whoever it is can’t fight us.” Draven rolled her eyes taking a long swig of her drink. 

"Continue please, Bow wow." Jennie smiles up at him and I refrain from kicking her.

“Big fan man.” Liam smiled at him and I rolled my eyes. 

"Oh yeah?" I laugh. "Name a song of his then."

Liam glares at me but Bow wow just shakes his head laughing. "To answer your question about call ins, if they choose to live here they will be safe from going home for the week. Also they can be called any anytime."

"Can we come back into the house if voted off?" Gigi asks.

"with enough fan votes, yes unless you break rules 1 & 2." he explains.

"Any more questions?" When no one else speaks up he smiles. "good now enjoy the dinner because on... what day is it?"

"Wednesday."

"Okay, well on Friday, you are going to remind the fans at home why you are here and why you're here. We are going to have a talent show complete with a stage."

"what about us?" Gigi asks "We're models - we don't sing or act."

"Well you models will have raw photoshoots. No photoshop- no editing. Just pure talent. Thats fair enough right? Or you can try singing or acting, playing an instrument... Let your creative juices flow! Remember the fans love authenticity so write your own songs if you can, or pick a scene that is close to the heart. Anyway." he looks at the clock. "I'll be back soon, enjoy your dinner."

~ ~ ~ ~

"Well cheers to that!" Naomi smiles happily holding up her drink. "that sounds fun! This is what we came here for, right? Cheers!" She clicks her drink with Makayla next to her.

While her optimism is appreciated, not everyone feels the same. Especially given the rest of the rules, that means we have to resolve our fighting more constructively and meaning we have to put up with these people until there's enough votes to vote them off.

While we ate, small conversations popped up about the talent show and cutting his meat, Louis looked at you giggling with Edward. "Arianna" he called out catching my attention as well. "What are you doing for a talent, since you can't fight anymore. Something tells me your not good at anything else."

"Spoken like a true fucking pussy." Edward laughs turning to face him. "As soon as they say we can't physically fight, you open your dick sucking mouth and talk shit. Where were you just 2 hours ago? Hiding in your room like a fucking bloody twat!"

"Hes only talking shit because he has his group to rely on." I shrug biting a piece of my pasta. "He can pass the talent show while just singing three lines in a four minute song. So he feels safe."

"What will you be doing for your talent?" Liam asks his jaw tightened. "I can't think for the life of me what your talent is... besides -" he smirks "I'm not going to say that when your brother is right here." I grip my fork hard in my hand. I see Robin tense from the corner of my eyes.

"Don't start, man." Namjoon shakes his head.

Liam shakes his head. "Of course not. I'm not sure what talent you have, sweetheart."

"Besides sucking dick." Louis finishes, a few people gasp. Everyones eyes fall on me and Zayn laughs. It pisses me off, Zayn teetering on the fence this whole time. He did tell me the truth but then again he sticks beside his band as though they can do no wrong. Neutral my ass.

Robins fists are clenched tight around his knife and I for a moment I am scared that hes going to stab Liam. Hes not that far from him. I place my hand on his arm, he releases the knife and it clatters on the plate. "I need a smoke." he mumbles "Are you.." he trails off its his way of asking if I'm okay or he needs to stay. I nod at him knowing if he stays then he'll get violent. He stands up and purposely taking the long way so he is not tempted to hit Liam on his way out.

"How would you know that Louis? Like honestly, how would you know? Even if I was was blind, starved and begging for it on a desert island you'd be the last thing I'd ever fuck. I'd rather get railed by every motherfucker here then even look at your decrepit fucking prick. Wow, your trying to shame me from having a healthy sex life with my ex partner ... what do I dress nice too? Is my hair to shiny?" I scoff. "I was the only true friend you fucking had outside of this. and I should have been done with your ass last year." Louis jaw clenched and he shook his head standing up "No baby boy, sit down, you wanna be funny? Then let me tell you all a real fucking funny story! Liam! Did you know the real reason Louis came home from tour early?"

"She's fucking mad." Louis shook his head, tapping Liam and the boys to just leave the table.

"Why? Because they don't know the fucking truth? That you didn't fly home, you flew to New York and begged, BEGGED on your fucking hands and knees for me to leave Liam for you."

"No I didn't." Louis said but he didn't look at me, instead he looked Liam. "She's making shit up."

I shrug "I feel so fucking bad for you, I really do. It must be so hard living your life as such a fucking snake. Its pathetic really and before you start denying, just because you deleted your snap doesn't mean i didn't save the messages." I lean back in my chair. "Now you can go. I'm finished speaking."

Liam eyes Louis, then shakes his head and walks out the dining room. Louis quickly follows followed by Zayn, Niall and then harry. The room is silent and Edward laughs.

"I knew I liked you." He waves his fork at me.

"Anyone else a little hard?" Ian asks and a few groans of disgust echo throughout the room. "What?"

"I need a cigarette." I sigh throwing down my napkin and moving to the backyard with Robin.

"We should do a team building excerscise." Naomi says after a few minutes. "To calm everyone down."

"like what?" Yugyeom asks.

"There's a lot of fit fuckers here." William smirks. "Would I be wrong for suggesting a game of strip poker? Or strip truth or dare?"

"thinking about that anon who said harry doesn't have a waist like human anatomy just didn't exist for them lmao"

Whos that anon so I can give them a kiss!!No lies were told that man is built like a fridge his waist is wide as fuckk and dont start with the baggy clothes bullshit even when hes shirtless he stays waistless and theres nothing wrong with that he has an average man body!You get him hate because your blood boils when we state the obvious that louis has a hourgalss figure with a small waist and a big butt and that goes against the "daddy" image yall made up for him so he can be with princessrry lmaoooo

let's just start with the fact that you are clearly a loser with too much time on your hands to make it known that you are responding to something i posted days ago: are you not embarrazzed?

now i wouldn't be so quick to applaud that anon when it's obvious you have to same brain capacity that they did and i already addressed how they were wrong here and here

i'll be sure next time to say "louis loves touching the space in the center of harry's torso between his ribs and his hips that i'm not allowed to call a waist despite the fact that's anatomically what that space is called" to avoid having y'all in my inbox with your bullshit

[bluewinnerangel]

could you please explain if louis's skull tattoo and the band of cards tattoo are related to larry/harry?? sorry if you've already talked about this

Hi! The harry/larry link with these tattoos you can find in the 1973 movie Papillon, which is all explained in these links (really I LOVE this lil rabbit hole, please do get lost in it). In short: in this story Henri and Louis try to escape prison. And in the 1973 movie Henri has these tats, which look familiar:

And you know, Louis' tats are a lil different, instead of a sythe there's a big ol red dot for one which brings me to the book cover (to my understanding it's the first edition (in french) to the left and the international book cover to the right):

Yeap very unfortunate all that. And all the other lil unfortunate coincidences to come, such as (again all in that link above) Harry naming pictures of Steve McQueen on the set of Papillon with the butterfly out and all that as his favorite photographs of all time, or coded-clothing-fashion-king Louis doing a photoshoot in the same shirt as Rami Malek, who plays Louis in the 2017 remake, wore to the Papillon premiere, not to mention that the tattoo artist has simply said Harry's butterfly tat is inspired by Papillon, or there not being any Papillon parallels in either of them MVs whatsoever nah nope.

Going on a lil ramble about tattoo meanings so here's a cut:

But about their tattoos and these themes in general... A lot of their tattoos seem prison tattoo inspired, which in itself already circles back to Papillon, but yeah then I think it's worth kinda taking a sneakpeak into the meaning of prison imagery, with skulls meaning mortality (generally it's just death but lemme be a bit less dark lol) Not saying that's then what it means to him, I mean the link with papillon alone is pretty convincing to me, and really what in the everlastingfuckery skulls mean to Louis I couldn't tell you other than it's definitely something. Here's a lil collection, but that's from 2016 and he hasn't stopped. Like he really really loves skull imagery. Maybe it's just that, he loves skull imagery, and that's that, but we're talking about Louis here so HMM. Also I'm really honestly just lost with that whole skull thing, I know this can prompt and ask so just saying I got nothing sorry)

But for the cards, talked about it here and here but I'll just copy the relevant bit: Playing cards = gambling. And I think gambling themed tats, also including the 17 black tat and dice and all that, plus that tattoo of harry that looks like a playing card with a skull really we keep going in circles can be symbolism for not just liking to play games, to gamble, but taking life as a gamble, "beating the odds", "taking chances", "high risk high reward", and even given a chance (they can be somebody), you know? Basically all circling back to wanting to make it big, to be one of the few that reaches the top, that the steps taken to achieve that feel like gambling, just hoping the odds are in their favor. I mean what were the chances really that they made it as big as they did?

I really view a lot of shit they do, as loads of musicians do, as some result of their struggles with fame / being (stuck) in the industry / their public images etc yet still wanting to make music and continue despite all of the bullshit (or having no choice in the matter with contracts and all). So while I view that Papillon link as not exactly concidental I do think their interest in these kinda tats goes beyond just going "larry amirite".

I smile fondly at you, wrapping an arm around your shoulder as I stayed close to you before kissing the top of your head gently. I listen closely as the meeting began but I kept close to you the whole time. -L

I smile softly before taking your hand in mine, always loving to touch you in any way that I could. "Well, I don't want to step on anyone's toes here. I would like to be involved on the soundtrack in some capacity if you see that at all possible. I know I am usually doing music but this is my first proper big acting role that's more than just a cameo on a sitcom or a small part in a movie. So, I want to focus more on that but it would be hard for me to step away from music completely. So, of course I have ideas and I've had this idea for a love song for when Pam and Tommy are first falling in love. In fact, I would be honored if the two of you would sing it together," I say as I looked at the both of them. "I have this other idea for a song too from Pam's perspective after the tape comes out. And I think it would be super powerful to be sung by either you or me or both of us," I say to her. "And it could still hit just as hard today because even now, it's not easy being a woman in this business. I went through something very traumatizing over a month ago and I've already written some lyrics for that. It's just some ideas though and I would appreciate you considering them," I say to the both of them, squeezing your hand gently since I was feeling a little nervous about sharing my ideas. -K

I nod, wanting to let you take the lead on it because I wanted you to feel comfortable and like you had completely creative control. I was just happy to be co-producing with you. I wanted you to be able to say whatever you felt even though I felt like they sounded like good ideas. I was feeling excited to work on a project with you with something that was a different step for us. I looked to you to see your reaction, fully supportive of whatever you thought. -L

I listened to everything she suggested, taking them into consideration as I looked at you first, seeing you giving me your supportive nod as I looked at her again. "I think they're great ideas, and I love the idea of singing a love song with my husband. We haven't done many songs together, and I'd love that opportunity. I could never say no to doing a song with my husband," I smiled. "And as for the powerful song to be sung when the tape comes out, I love the idea of the both of us collaborating together." I say honestly. "Just last week, Louis and I were talking about how hard it is to be a woman in the industry, and being a child star in the industry as a female isn't easy either. I've been in so many situations as a young female child star being treated poorly by men." I explained. "During Louis' first photoshoot with our band when he first joined, I was almost forced to take off my jacket and expose myself and I was only seventeen. I was still a minor, and it angered Louis. I've been sexually assaulted in front of him so many times when we weren't even dating and he was the only one that did something about it. He's seen what I've had to suffer just being a woman in this industry, and it's disgusting how we're treated. So I would be honored to collaborate on a song with you about that." I say honestly. -Jessica

I sat back and listened to the two of you speak seeing that you both clearly had a lot to relate too. "So then you know what it's like to be exposed and treated poorly." I say softly. "I think to have someone like you working with Katie, you can help her relate to that, because what she went through wasn't easy for her and all the backlash she faced, it wasn't fair to her," I explained. -Sebastian

[kessicasrps]

I stiffen when hearing what you said to me about being assaulted. "Give me their names and I will fucking teach them a lesson about keeping their hands to themselves," I say, still feeling protective even if years had passed since the incidents happened. It killed me to know the trouble you had in high school but I was just glad that we had each other. "I am so sorry about all the bullshit that you had to deal with, Princess. And I hate that you weren't able to make friends like a normal teenager. You are not only my soulmate though, you're also my best friend. And I am so glad that we have each other through it all," I say softly.

----

I sighed softly as I shook my head. "It doesn't even matter now, Louis. If I say something, everyone will think I'm doing it for attention." I sighed. "You may have seen and witnessed what I've gone through, but you still don't know what it's like to be a woman in this industry. We're not allowed to be human. We're all treated like shit. If we defend ourselves, we're doing it for attention, if we speak out, it's for attention, if we show off our bodies and show our sexuality, we're sluts and whores. We're not allowed to be people. It's rough being a woman just in general. And to be in this industry, it's just awful. We're not allowed to be powerful, we're not seen as people, if we did something about any time I've been sexually assaulted, my life would get even more complicated and worse." I sighed. "It's not your fault what I've experienced, because you had nothing to do with any of those situations, it's the fact that people don't care what happens and people get away with it all." I say honestly. "My life was and always will be complicated because of what I was forced to do," I say honestly. "I really am glad I have you. I'll never forget the first time you ever defended me during your first photoshoot with us. And no one did anything, I was being forced to be topless and I didn't want to, so you did something and you stood in front of me and you put your hand behind your back and held onto my hand, and I'll never forget that because no one ever did anything like that for me," I say. "You'll always be my best friend," I say as I looked in your eyes. "Always!"

__

I nod when hearing what you said before taking a deep breath and wrapping my arms back around your neck. "I know you're probably right, babe. Are you aware that you are the best husband in the world? I am just glad that I will have you by my side and that I get to do this show with you. I know it's going to feel a little draining especially with you having to be on your strict diet and we're going to spend hours in hair and makeup each day but I am glad we can do this together. I just want to enjoy the rest of our honeymoon in the meantime before the real work begins," I say to you. We didn't start shooting the show for almost two months but we had that meeting and test shots and rehearsals all coming up after we got back to L.A.

---

I smirked from your words as I wrapped my arms around your waist. "I am very aware, yes," I smirked again. "I am very glad we get to work on this project together. And if your favorite couple in the world can work together and get through things together, we can too," I smiled widely at you. "We'll have an amazing honeymoon, baby, and when we get back to work, everything is going to be amazing because you get to work on something that matters and will boost your career even more and you get to meet your idol,"
