#happy saturday!

Periodically, it hits me like a ton of bricks that this scene exists:

With the windows framed as their wings, the hand fluttering to the back, the most emotionally devastating kiss ever to be filmed...

I am still not well.

it’s okay if you don’t like louis and harry anymore, but i think it’s so much better and healthier to leave and find something you actually love and care about than stay and be bitter about them and finding something wrong with everything they say and do. i remember staying in fandoms that i didn’t enjoy anymore and feeling miserable and unhappy all the time. i don’t want that for anyone else. i wish you well and i hope you can find something that makes you happy

Hi, anon!

Of course it's okay to not like Harry or Louis anymore! Feeling that way is valid and it's very understandable due to their latest shenanigans. I wouldn't blame anyone for not being happy with them anymore or not finding fandom enjoyable anymore. This is our hobby and fandom should be enjoyable.

However, it's also okay to still be a fan of them, but reject or dislike a decision they make, an action, a song, their friends and family. You don’t have to like or enjoy everything they do to be a fan. Also, it's important to differentiate between the images they're projecting to the world and who they really are. For both Harry and Louis the differences between them and their images are huge. Mostly because they are gay and closeted and are projecting a super straight exaggerated image. Due to that huge discrepancy they are going to come off as very hypocritical and they are going to gaslight their fans. They are going to say one thing and do another thing the next minute. It's important to call them out and criticise them for behaviour that's out of line, no matter if you think it's due to their image or not. It's also important to point out when they are lying or faking it, and reject it. Refuse to be gaslighted, search through the fog and find the real them.

It's also okay to be disappointed in them, feel hurt and not loved as a fan by them, and question your love for them. Big events like parmageddon is bound to shake the fandom. Harry refusing to say anything against I*rael is a hard pill to swallow. Some fans cope by taking time off from fandom and reevaluate. Others, like me, cope with talking and discussing ourselves through the events and slowly digest it and find acceptance that way. Neither Harry nor Louis are perfect.

For me all that's happened this last month isn't even in the top five of worst things that's happened in my time in the fandom. I'm still pissed at what's happened and i hate their fake images more than ever. I need some time to digest it all, as i've already said, but i'll be fine. I know that's not really who they are, but how they treat their fans are still not okay. We all love them despite their images. It's a sad situation more than anything. The good still outweigh the bad for me. I'm not miserable nor unhappy. Just disappointed. I know things will get better, they always do.

I'm going to keep laughing at "Straight Harry"'s stunts and his absolute non-interest in women and i'm going to keep rolling my eyes at "Laddy, indie Louis"' attept to pretend it's cool to not know the lyrics to your own songs. I can do all that while still understand that they are doing all this because they are gay, closeted and under cruel contracts. I also understand that they've developed some shit coping mechanisms to deal with the closeting and industry pressure. A shaved head is preferable to a nervous breakdown or rehab though. I know why parmageddon had to happen, but that doesn’t mean i or the rest of fandom has to tolerate it and pretend everything is fine. It's not. Some people also can't move on as quickly as others, because the cut runs deeper for them. We need to let everyone deal with this how they need to in their own time.

Tldr: I'm going to keep calling them out when they show bad behaviour, i'm going to expect better from them because i know they can be, and i'm going to call out the hypocricy between the image they're portraying and who they really are. If you can’t tell the difference then that's on you and not me.
