Hi Hims!!

Yes please do!! Let's all gather our fandom powers and get the list of free links together so NOBODY has to give Olivia Wilde money or support this stunt.

If anyone wants to watch DWD, I *will* share links when they become available

To your anon about publishing and bmg, as someone who works in the music space and has a best friend who works at bmg as a marketer, louis is only using them for publishing and distributing to dsps 🤪 idk why people find the need to micromanage others blogs so much. So sorry on behalf of the rude anon

Oh thank you for chiming in!!!

This is so interesting. Does your friend know about Louis’ deal specifically or is it just a general procedure? I found BMG’s term “partnering” always quite remarkable.

In reference to this.

I don’t think Unbeliever larry break up partially cause how hard they worked on being together?

I highkey imagined they got married 🫣

they did develop that relationship for a long time and it would take a lot to break it i imagine

[non-binharry]

I just read through your post of why Harry might be trans and for the first time in my journey into self acceptance, I have felt seen. So thank you :)

harry has done the same for a lot of us, and i am just here to serve as a gender disciple. still, i am honored and i appreciate your message ❤️

[kingsofeverything]

If people haven’t read an unbalanced force yet they need to like get on it because holy shit! So so so good!!

Also i feel like i come across fics when i need reminders that life doesn’t always work out according to our plans and i really admire how you write so so realistically! I am a big fan of your fics so thank you always for such killer work💜

Thank you so much! I love marold harold and his story. It’s a universal thing, I think, learning that things don’t have to work out the way you planned them. Thank you again 💗

[meyhew]

Random question, is YOU scary? I see you posted about it a bit but wanted to ask someone’s opinion before I started watching it!

not sure! i've only seen a couple episodes and i thought they were more funny than scary although i dont really have problem with horror. but honestly i dont think it's scary, maybe a little dark in an obviously comedic way

[twopoppies]

Hi! I was wondering if you are have recs for fics where either of them are exchange students and like find each during their study abroad? ☺️

Hi darling. That’s such a good trope, but the only one I can think of is this one:

Never Be by cherrystreet (E, 118K)

Monica: You've got to see her again. Ross: And why do you care so much? Monica: Because! You could get to live out my fantasy! Ross: You had fantasies about Emily? Monica: No! Y’know, the fantasy! Meet someone from a strange land, fall madly in love, and spend the rest of your lives together.

The one where Harry Styles moves to Connecticut from England for nine months as a part of a study abroad program, and he just so happens to move in with Louis Tomlinson and family.

I’ll keep an eye out though, and add more if I can!

[justalarryblog]

Helllo I can’t read fics without spoilers, so I was hoping you could help me out a bit! I am reading All I want by LH Stylinson, and I know there is angst and harry doesn’t know he is a father. But like how long does that last? Will I be dying from angst for all 22 chapters:( sorry for the unusual ask!

lskdjadhkasd Hi! it's deff unusual, but it's fine! I feel ya! No worries, he finds out soon! Under the cut for people who don't want spoilers!

Louis tells Harry right at the end of chapter 2, so you're safe!!

[vintageumbroshirt]

I just want to say, I have been WAITING for your fic! I am so damn excited to read it, so glad its after my finals 🤗 i saw its your birthday so a happy happy birthday ♥️

Ohhh this message made me smile SO big thank youuu ❤️ I'm glad the date worked out for you and I hope I don't disappoint you!

[daisiesonafield-blog]

Hey Daisy ( i hope thats how you spell your name!) I was curious what do you think of the bit in the hs3 rumor anon where it says the artist date is male in their 20s? I have no idea what to make of that and was just curious!

Hi dear,

This is assuming this is true and in fact about Harry's mv.

I think it's clear from the casting call description that they want to make this video something that's representative of everyone. With different races, gender, sexuality etc displayed. It seems like they're also going for that 70s psychedelia "free love" vibe again, so keep that in mind.

As per the casting call, the main couples are:

Two women

A man and a woman

Two men (one of which is Harry)

Thinking about this from a marketing and image perspective, I think it's clear that they want to make this a sexy forward video, and push Harry's ambiguous sexuality to the max. This ambiguity is one of the pillars of his marketing. So they're capitalizing on it. And there's nothing better than to pair him with a man as the love interest in his (potential) lead single.

This is ALL about marketing and much less about Harry. I think he has a lot of input and creative control, but only within the parameters of his label. So if Columbia wants to push a sex symbol image to capitalize on his art, then Harry has to work within those parameters. This also includes his sexual ambiguity. Part of it is about Harry's sexuality, something personal. But part of it is about how to market that to sell, and sell to the masses.

I've spoken about this before in regards to his image and marketing. But they've been pushing more and more on his sexual ambiguity and it doesn't surprise me that they're putting him with a man for his next era. In HS2 they had Lights Up and Watermelon Sugar with similar vibes, but still mostly women and no direct "love interest pairing". It seems that for HS3, they're going further out there and giving him an actual love interest to act with on screen, and that love interest is a man. I think they will still maintain his ambiguity by putting him along other genders and couples, even if his direct love interest in the video is a man.

Also, as I've mentioned before, of course these are things Harry likes and is inspired by. He has said many times how this era of music shaped his childhood. But showbiz is about taking those real, personable things and turning them into a product and an image to be desired. So the final product is a mixture of both.

Also, unrelated to the casting call info but important to keep in mind as we go forward: everything we're seeing now is setting up the narrative, image and marketing for his next era. We only see what we're meant to see and everything is planned .

Note: related to this post

[awesomefringey]

Hello! My friend doesn’t know all the specifics cause he is a marketer who works with their roaster artists who are also signed to them as artists? ( idk if i made any sense haha) all he knows is that Louis plans to utilise bmgs resources in terms of publishing and to get his music out on streaming platforms when the times comes.

Ah, that makes sense. It’s also my read on the BMG statement. Would be fun to see if - when the time comes - your friend will know some of Louis’ schedule in advance.

Thank you for coming back to me!! 💜

In reference to Louis partnering with BMG.
