Transcript of Instagram Livestream hosted by Armstrong Martins on November 2, 2018:

(user names are best guess, some words were hard to understand and a line serves as a placeholder, several time stamps to allow for others to verify)

 Armstrong (abbreviated to Arm later on):

I have a very busy evening tonight, yeah, and I just wanted to chat to you guys about - so I posted a picture on my Instagram, my latest post, yeah, and I posted a picture of myself, just putting a good message there and I got responses because I tagged Eleanor in it.  

And the thing is yeah, what I wanted to share with you today is do you know what the equivalent of gossip is? Who - Do you know what the equivalent of gossip is?  Do you know what gossip actually is?  And the reason why I’m talking to you like this is because I’ve decided that I’m not gonna allow the media and people, general public as well, to shape what I do.  Because what I -  wow, Emily, that’s perfect ‘s’il bien’ ‘s’il bien’  that’s, that’s perfect. I love that.  

The reason why I’m speaking to you, yeah, like this is because I need you guys to understand who I am and, listen to me, everyone is free to unfollow me and not support me at all but I’m really really a neutral person.  You know someone’s experience and I’m not saying that everyone should have my opinion about a person but my opinion about this specific person in question Eleanor, yeah, she’s been an absolute queen to me, yeah, she really really helped me and supported me a lot behind closed doors and that’s not what everyone’s gonna see, yeah, and so really, she does mean a lot to me because alongside Louis and the show and other people, like she really was involved in getting me to a place where I needed to be, yeah, and I wasn’t always this (mumbled)_______ to come and speak to you guys about that, yeah.  Guys, but I really really want you to understand who this person is, she’s such a nice person, she’s such a, such a nice person and there’s so many bad comments about her and do you know what the equivalent of gossip is?  The equivalent of gossip is murder.  If you’re gonna speak about someone’s name, yes, someone’s name, imagine if someone was saying your name, imagine if someone was speaking bad of your name? Someone was saying, let’s pick one for example, “kissie Athena”.  What if someone was saying Athena, yeah, she is that, she’s this, and so many people are doing that yeah, they’re just getting behind each other where, um, um, just because of like how everyone has joined up to talk about a person, yeah, that is ripping someone’s whole life apart because, think about it, this is actually real life, she’s really hearing what you’re saying. It’s actually a person, why are we talking about people like this, why are we going this?  Why do we, why do – people will say ‘well that’s the world we live in” yeah, but it’s not the world we live in. It’s not.  It’s just the world that we create.

You know what – “jerry dodger” – they could be jealous, yeah, and I get what you’re saying, yeh, but the thing is, yeh, the thing is, like, slandering someone’s name is BAD. Because like, you know what I’m saying, between us, like between myself and all of you, yeah, like we see when we do our chats and stuff, yeah, that we have people coming out of depression, and you know all of us were helping out what Jasmine, Connor, like we’re having a conversation and brining people out of the situation, but we’re still trying to put people in depression, we can’t do that.   And I love of all you guys, yeah, and I’m gonna back you all the way, yeah, but there’s certain things that I want you to know about myself, yeah, I don’t cross that line.  We’ve got to respect people.  We’ve got to love people.  We have to love each other cause otherwise there’s no point in all this.

 Does someone disagree? And it you disagree, can you tell me why?

Comment:

“They don’t believe she’s Louis’ girlfriend”.  She’s a front, that Louis’ not with her.  (Armstrong scratches his head.)

Armstrong:

Look, believe me, I can assure you that Louis’ with her.  Ok? Believe me, I can assure you that, yeah. So if you have any respect for the person that you’re trying to support, why would you slander his partner? That’s OUT OF ORDER.  It’s OUT OF ORDER.  It’s not – Georgia – do you know what?  I want someone to join me that has an opposite opinion to me.  Let’s join, let’s have a conversation cause I want to pick your brains, I want to literally ask you questions, yeah?  I wanna pick your brain, yeah, and find like whether, let’s deem it, let’s deem it like, let’s talk about it and see whether we can come to a common ground.

You guys, you don’t understand, imagine like, no one, you can’t see what happens behind closed doors. Do you know, do you know what, first of all, yeah, do you know what it takes to be a woman?  Do you know what?  I want to give a round of applause, yeah, to every single lady that’s on this chat right now.  I want to give a round of applause to all of you women.  You girls, yeah, are the strongest thing I’ve ever seen on this earth. I’ve no idea how you guys find your strength.  You guys can have kids, droppings, you guys can just endure so much, I don’t how you guys do it.  I mean, I’m inspired by you women, I’m inspired by you guys. I’m actually inspired by you guys, genuinely, yeah, I don’t know how you lot can really really, the things that you guys like endure, sorry about that (camera fell).  The things that you women can take.  There’s certain things, patience, that we, as a guy, we can’t take, we can’t take.

You know I’m saying like – guys! – I want you to get in your head, yeah, that we aren’t gonna make a better world, yeah, if we keep on doing this.  Guys!  This is someone!  Just because she don’t come on social media, yeah, and chat back to people, don’t mean that she’s not – look – I want.  This is what I want from you guys, yeah.  I want the ones that really – my phone keeps on wanting to die - (6 min 40 sec) my phone keeps on wanting to die, my charge isn’t working, it don’t seem like,

Comment:  

Many people say she’s only a person that doesn’t love Lou or things like that but she’s a beautiful soul and I can imagine –

Armstrong:  

Guys!  This is what I’m saying.  These are the conversations that you guys need to have between yourselves and stop, like, like, HOW do you come to a conclusion about something? How do you come to a conclusion? Have you ever met her before? Have you? You haven’t. And look, the biggest crime in life is assumption.  Assumption is the biggest crime in life.  Everyone’s just making assumptions, yeah about –

Comment:  

   – “veil raymus”  “Let’s talk about you.  Armstrong, let’s talk about you. “

Armstrong:  

Let’s talk about me. I’d love that. I don’t really want to come on here talking about other people.  Really.  Cuz –

Comment:

“She, she made racist comments and body shamed.  That’s how I come to my conclusion. We shouldn’t hate nor should we praise.

Armstrong:  

I like that to be honest. I like that answer. I like that answer. But you obviously see something special about a person yeah if you’re just chatting about them but you still follow them. That makes sense, doesn’t it.  Whether you follow them on Instagram, whether, you still follow them. Cause you still talk about them.

Comment:  Pixel box

Armtrong:  Pixel box – what you sorry for?  Yeah, you can, put your word across, Georgia.  Guys, this is what, (reading another comment)  “but this is none of anyone’s business, I get what you’re saying but this is none of anyone’s business”   Ok, I like that answer as well.  But why does my picture have to have these comments then?  You know, listen, guys, guys, we are gonna to a family, yeah, and we’re gonna have to set some rules.   I need you guys to, in my, anything concerning Armstrong, whatever you want to do in the world, that’s great, but anything that says Armstrong, I need love, I need there to be love on all of the comments, I need love there. Anyone’s being negative, blow them out of the water because they’re trying to bring everyone down.  What’s the point of being negative?  Listen, I’ve laid down on a hospital bed for 3 months, yeah, and you never know what tomorrow looks like.  Like, until someone’s been to that place, yeah, where you’re on your deathbed, yeah, and you don’t, like, until you’ve been in that place, you don’t really understand how short life is.  

Guys, do you know what I do what I do?  To open the door for you guys.  To open the door for something you want to do. Yeah?  Look –

Comment:  “Anna guitar covers”  

Armstrong:

Yeah, I get what, I get what you’re saying about Let’s talk about something positive and stuff like that, but really I’m literally talking to Strong nation, yeah, like I’m a speaker to my people, yeah, I’m a speaker to my people, then we’ll move on to something more interesting.  I’ve gotta go, I really ain’t got time, I’m sorry for coming on late, I was supposed to come on at 4:00, but look guys, (10 minutes 24 seconds)

Reading: “you can’t control every comment or you’ll ……”

Armstrong:  Ok, I get what you’re saying, yeah, I get what you’re saying.  You can’t control every comment, great, but I’m saying, I can try and get through to you guys, cause you guys are the only people I care about, people that really want something good to happen in life, you know what I’m saying?

Thank you!  Reading:  People are constantly hating on Eleanor without any reasons and I don’t get it…….”

Guys, anyways, the truth is, yeah, from day dot, you guys know me to be a real dude, yeah. I’m a real dude.  I’m just a ____________(mumble) I follow her and that’s it.  People don’t follow her, that’s still it.  But let’s not – do you know how many – listen – do you know how many people done wrong to me here, so much wrong.  You think I’m going to go on twitter and Instagram and start slandering someone. No, that’s bad.  I’d rather knock someone out, yeah, than slander them.  You’ve gotta, it’s better that you have a fight, have a proper full on fight, yeah, than just go slandering because you know what?  Do you know what you actually look like?  You look like, you look like a bunch of letters, yeah, that won’t back it up in real life, you know what I mean.  That’s it, like, it’s not really -  let’s – you know what  (12 minutes 1 second)

Reading “Let’s quickly” Armstrong: Yeah!  Jasmine – Let’s spread love, not hate.  Reading: Let’s do this quickly so that – Let’s do this quickly so that I can get on with what I’ve got to do.  Let’s do this quickly

I do not go on her stuff or hate on her.  You know, it’s just, I don’t care what she does, it’s whatever, she’s her own person, I’m my own person, I’m a do me, and that’s it.

Arm:  do you know the reason why I made this – do you know the reason why I’m even speaking about this?

Girl:  Yeah, I believe in you.

Arm:  I’m gonna break into the lives of all of you, yeah, and I’m gonna fix everything that needs fixing.  And do you know why?   Because this is what I want to do, this is what I care about, this is why I can’t say, oh yeah, screw all of that and support everything you’re saying just to pull your guys legs and stuff like that.  I can’t agree with things that are wrong, so that guys, I want some of you, whoever who is humble enough to send Eleanor a DM saying, look, just send some love, spread love.  Just spread love. Just spread love.  What is you was in a relationship with let’s say, um, nescafe, yeah?  You girls are in a relationship with nescafe yeah?

Mum:  What happened?  Can you just fill me in?

Arm:  I’ll fill you in but it’s hard to describe it without bouncing around.  (Armstrong is doing all kinds or hand signals and sounds)

Mum:  Right, ok.

Arm:  Jammie dodger this is your fault, jammie dodger. Alright look, yeah, I put up a picture, yeah, on Instagram, yeah,

Mum:  Alright

Arm: then, yeah, I woke up the next morning, and guess what I saw?

Mum: What did you see?

Arm:  Messages on the comments boxes, yeah, ….

Mum:  Saying…

Arm:  Like, why are you uploading Eleanor, I mean they said that, like why are you tagging Eleanor on your picture.  We love your selfie but don’t support Eleanor.  You hear what I’m saying?

Mum:  What, is this Louis’ missus?

Arm:  Yeah!

Mum:  Why are people saying that for?

Arm:  I don’t know yet, but like next thing you know yeah, all of my social media appreciators came up with some crazy to get me love yeah, and were like, if anyone talks mad on Armstrongs’s media, madwoman’s maddening it

Mum:  So you’ve got love, but they’re being too much.

Arm:  I had Jasmine, Jasmine was right there, Jasmine was on my case.  She was like don’t be talking mad about Armstrong’s friend cause the thing goes “pop”   you know what I’m saying?

Mum:  I think so.

Arm:  I’m just trying to say to them, like, why do we have to be so negative?

Mum:  I don’t know.

Arm:  You don’t have to like a person, you don’t have to let everyone know you don’t like a person (imitates typing)

Mum:  Keyboard warrioring

Arm:  I’m just saying –

Mum:  That’s the world we live in now, unfortunately.  You’re going to have people that say nasty things. There’s actual accounts of people that troll, like they make an account to specifically troll people, but they don’t know the effects it has on others

Arm:  You know what –

Mum – It always happens no matter what the generation we live in now, you look at people like my mum and dad, like they married 35 years, you’ll never get that now.  It’s so easy to cheat, it’s so easy to divorce, it’s so easy to bully, that’s the world we live in now, and it’s sad it’s sad.

Arm:  Do you know what, yeah, I do understand what you’re saying and I agree with you totally.  But do you know what, my gripe is this yeah, and by the way, I’m speaking to every single troll that’s -  hello darling (mum just picked up little girl), hi darling, you’re so cute!!  You look like a cupcake.  Bebe, Bebe, you look like a cupcake!

Mum/little girl: Hi!  Hi!

Arm:  I just want to talk to you sweetheart.  I love you’re pink top and your smile right now.

Mum:  Awwww

Arm: Ok, I’m just saying, whoever is a troll right now, who’s on it now –

Mum: – Yeah

Arm: I’m telling you, we always doubt, we always doubt the effects of what we do yeah,

Mum:(whilst walking around with child) – uh huh

Arm: we always think that is cool, we always think that is, we always think like it doesn’t make, like it’s not going to come back on us, but I’m saying yeah, when it comes close to us, that’s when we know to start calming it down.  Guys I’m saying, if you’re a troll, it will come back to you,

Mum:  Yeah, no one deserves (child crying, she walks to go pick her up)

Arm:  I promise you it will come back on you, but it might not come back on the way you think.

Mum:  Yeah (now holding child)

Arm:  Stop slandering, because you’re no one to be slandered. No one even knows you, you’re a fake account.  The karma will come back.

(24 minutes 28 seconds)

Mum:  And no one understands what that one comment will do to someone.  Like you hear, you hear so many things now about people committing suicide because of that one person made that one last comment and tipped them over the edge and it’s not right.  It makes me scared to have a family in case someone bullied my children or bullied someone that I loved.

Arm:  Oh, hell no!

Mum:  I have a bad side to me and I don’t want to have to bring that bad side out to someone else.

Arm: (doing more arm movements and trills)

Mum:  You have to keep your cool.

Arm:  I have two kids yeah, if it was like a ting like that, all I know is that the ting will go scrap, cap, cap, everyday.

Mum:  It’s so hard. It’s so hard.

Arm:  I’m not a person who’s like, oh they’re talking about me, let me just be humble and stuff, no I’m coming, I’m coming, me and you will have it out today.  But listen, the other thing, yeah, the other thing is this – so

Mum:  You lost it!  Your lost it!  (laughing)

Arm:  The other thing is like the karma of doing that troll stuff is coming back to you.

Mum:  Oh yeah.

Arm:   And it’s like, I agree with what you’re saying, yeah, but it’s like you see there’s a couple hundred people on this chat right now yeah, I reckon you that from here, we can spread something that’s just gonna dead it all. Like, we don’t, like we know yeah that negativity makes money, that’s the truth.

Mum:  Yeah, like, it’s like publicity isn’t it?  Like bad publicity is still publicity.  You can’t, you can’t get away from it, but you have a platform now where you can send certain messages to people and spread the word kind of thing because you’ve got that form of support now.

Arm: Calita, calita, I’ve got to go.   Tell me, tell me, when should we do a live again, when should we do a live again? Cause I’ve got to go.  I can’t stay here for too long guys.  When should we do a live again?

Mum:  ummm, whenever you want?

Arm:  Let’s do a live, same time tomorrow.

Mum:  Ok, Cool.

Arm:  Yeah, we’ll get on this, we’ll get on this.   There’s another topic I want to talk about but I need people to like really really really like think about their answers.

Mum:  Ok

Arm:  So guys, today, we’ve finished the madness with Eleanor. I trust some of you lot, some of you, I can’t speak for all of you, yeah, but I know some of you are going to go and send her messages of love, Spread love.  Spread some love.

Mum:  Literally

Arm: Starts singing “everything’s going to be alight”

(28 minutes 11 seconds)

Arm:  Hang on a minute, hang on a minute, (reading) “no you haven’t, trust me, this is going to get worse, you’re making it worse. Let me tell you something, let me tell you something,  who is this? “god’s honest truth”

Mum: I’m going now.

Arm:  You off yeah!  Go on then babe, I’ll speak to you soon.

Mum; Byeee

Arm: God’s honest truth.   Guys, you see that negative person right there yeah?  That’s gotta go.  That has got to go.  That has got to go.  Where’s the link?  Strong nation.  Reading: Stop putting all of us in the same bag.  

Arm:  Listen, you don’t have to be in this bag. You certainly don’t.  But, only positive people are my friends to be honest with you (bit mumbled though) Only positive people are my friends, mate.

New video chat starts (29 minutes 44 seconds)

Arm:  Hello Carlita

Carlita:  Hi, sorry for being so annoying, I’m so sorry –

Arm:  You’re not annoying.

Carlita: but I’m _______(represent?)  Larry point of view, like, sorry for that, but this is getting so big, that I need to clarify.

Arm: Yeah

Carlita: You know Louis _____, Eleanor and the antis, like we call the people who doesn’t believe in Larry, but we have our reasons that but if someone is disrespecting us because its _________,  like we are here for Louis and his music, and for you, I like you so much, honestly I was so upset when you left because you are so talented and stuff, but –

Arm: Thank you, thank you

Carlita: You’re welcome. It’s sad that.  It’s annoying every day getting hate because of shipping who we ship, like Louis and Harry but we have to deal with it, like I know, but that’s it.

Arm.  The thing is yeah, you, do you know what, and I respect you, yeah, for being just so stand up, getting in front of my face, and saying your true opinion, and I get what you’re saying, but the thing is there is a difference between something that we want to happen and slander.  It’s RUDE.  It’s just so rude.

Carlita:  Yeah, but, they’re not rude.  Like some of us are, but me for example, and some of the _____ that I follow, like 28 the Spanish Larry (?) and some stuff like that, we are good people and we like defend their love because we think they are ____________ . I don’t ship them.  I think they are truly couple but _____ with bad things.

Arm:  But obviously you guys want the idea of him being with

Carlita:  If Larry isn’t real, I would respect Eleanor and I respect Eleanor, and I will respect Louis and Harry as well but like I truly believe they are in a relationship.

Arm:  Can I ask, can I ask you lot a question?

Carlita:  Yeah, of course.

Arm:   Would you do this to me, yeah, if I got into a relationship?

Carlita:  Um no, but it’s not like that, its not that easy for understand.  Like, there are a lot of videos that truly proves that they at least were in a relationship.  Like seriously, there are, because I didn’t believe in their love last year, and I’ve been a one Direction fan for 5 years. But when you look through the videos, you see their looks, you just know, that’s it.    I’m reading the comments and it’s getting annoying, the theme of Larry and Eleanor, we are here for Louis and that’s it.

Arm: Great. Well, you’re seeing me, do you know who I’m there for ?

Carlita: Yes, for Louis

Arm:  Do you who I’m there for?  I’m there for everyone.

Carlita:  Yes,

Arm:  So, I’m just saying, yeah, this is literally about two things. Can there not be negativity about people on my Instagram page and stuff and can there just, can we just love a bit more, because that’s what I believe, and you know what I’m saying.  If someone doesn’t believe in love, I don’t think that the person is a normal person.

Carlita:  Yes, I know, but

Arm:  Someone called Tracy – Miss, - someone called Tracy tweeted “was that shhhht really necessary? No, don’t think so.”   Why?  Why are you tweeting me that?

Carlita:  Uh, some of us are like so childish, so so childish.

Arm:  Someone just said, “Armstrong you started it.”    Started what?

Carlita:  No, it’s like everything happens the same.  It’s a lot of drama.  Always the drama and it’s not good for us to talk about this because yeah, its true that it is Louis’ private life.

Arm:  Reading comment _________ Robinson

Carlita:  What?  Well, that’s it.  Let’s forget about Larry and all the drama and focus on Louis and your career.  You are so so good. Really.

Arm:  Alright, listen, we’re gonna stop talking about this now. Yeah?

Carlita:   Yes

Arm:  But, I need you to tell me, yeah, and I’m not speaking to everyone, I’m speaking to some people when I say, send her some love. Send her some love.  I don’t care if anyone don’t like me, I don’t give a damn about that.  I don’t care if people don’t like what I’m saying.  I care about people that are listening to what I’m saying.  Like – (reading) Lucia – Like why would you say, “Please shut up.”  Why? Why would you be rude to me?”  Why? Why?  Why? That’s not very nice.

Carlita: No

Arm:  Look, like, I’m not interested in ignorant people that aren’t listening to what I’m saying, I care about people that are listening, whether they have their opinions or not, but they’re listening to what I’m saying. I don’t like negativity, Listen, have you ever seen someone die in front on your face.

Carlita: No.

Arm:  I’ve seen someone lose their life in front of my face. Do you know how short life is? Listen, I’m just trying to teach you guys cause you guys really want to be social media people forever.  You guys can be something that’s what I’m saying, you guys can go out and do something for yourselves. You guys can, you guys can actually, like guys, I’m promising you guys yeah, you know what I’m like, you know what I’m like, babe so you know what I’m like?

Carlita:  What?

Arm:  I’m like someone that wants to be the president of this industry.  I want to be, I want to bring, I want to bring everyone together, yeah, and I want to stand in the gap.  I want to be like a politician musician.

Welcome Home Edition Two words had the whole world upended; “Harry’s House” was confirmed (as portended)— With a toppled facade, A Buster Keaton nod, On a stage where bold stunts are pretended.

Sorry to break character but ... The Buster Keaton (Steamboat Bill, Jr.) parallel has me floored (house pun intended). It’s Buster Keaton’s most famous stunt. Stunt. He performed it himself. It had to be carefully planned and precisely executed, to the point his shoes were nailed in place*. He couldn’t move if he wanted to. HE COULDN’T MOVE IF HE WANTED TO. *Updating to correct this to: Two nails were put in the ground to mark where his feet would go, not actually nailed through his shoes (from Buster Keaton: A Filmmaker’s Life). But the point still stands that he was locked in position. In the announcement video, Harry is literally on a stage, literally performing a stunt as the house facade falls. And it does fall, rather than rise, over him. The traffic arrow changing from red to yellow is the clue to reverse the video. If we watch it forward, it starts with the daffodil—a narcissus, a symbol of vanity (and who is a narcissistic asshole?). But if we watch it in reverse, it ends with the daffodil, also a symbol of rebirth and hope ... and Louis’ favorite flower (as reported by a fan who asked him at a signing in 2020). In the end, he is and always will be with Louis. All while he stands there and performs the stunt with a subdued and knowing smile that doesn’t quite reach his eyes. And in perfect choose-your-own-adventure form, many fans (solos) are reading the video as Harry’s expression that he feels at home on stage. Which he obviously does. But it’s a cursory and easy reading. The reverse provides the subtext (where Larries live and die and thrive and anguish). Also ... yes, he’s wearing a traditionally feminine blouse and challenging gender norms. But it’s specifically a Peter Pan collar, which got its name from the costume Maude Adams wore for a Broadway production of Peter Pan in 1905. (She was a lesbian and played Peter in a gender-bending role.) So, an allusion to another stage performance and to queer culture (and I will low-key celebrate it as a nod to his Peter Pan of a husband).

Ok so. In the resdogs script, the deleted scene with info on Larry’s background comes right before the scene in Freddy’s apartment (fool for love - you know the one). And when he’s getting ready and does his little “they don’t know shit you’re fucking baretta” speech, it’s not generalized anxiety about the heist, it’s actually a specific reaction to hearing about Larry shooting up that cop’s birthday party, and Holdaway asking how good his cover is.

So basically Freddy expects White to be his biggest threat. And instead, Larry becomes his protector, he’s gentle and he’s compassionate and he’s just such a fucking contrast to the image of him that Freddy has from the background check that I’m literally still undecided whether or not it was a good idea to cut that scene.

at one point are people "picking up clues" and at what point is it them constantly engaging in a constant state of delusion as a way to find the belonging and validation they don't find in other spaces and indoctrinating themselves into online cults of their own making at the cost of their own mental health?

like, is that public figure in a straight, loving relationship actually secretly gay and giving you signs only you can see and interpret correctly or do you just need friends, some therapy, and mood stabilizers?
