Unpopular opinion but some Larries have really taken the “conspiracies” out of context and crossed the boundaries.

Some of the really extreme ones are still so dedicated and sensitive about it till NOW in 2024. Even 2025 is coming up, Harry and Louis are in their 30s and going into mid 30s as well. They’re growing up and I think our fandom have to learn to move on as well.

Why did I say they’re going extreme? Because some of them would start being disrespectful and going personal on that when the “conspiracy” isn’t even confirmed to this day. And the behaviour a good fandom should have are respects and boundaries.

I remember once in a podcast/interview of Louis, he mentioned that the “Larry” conspiracy was really out of hand and it did annoy him quite a bit.

One of the cases that I think was a bit over the line was the hate on Eleanor and Louis that larries gave them. Like respect is a thing!!

I was once a Larry believer back in the early days as well.

Do I think there was something going on? Yes.

Do I think there’s still a thing? No.

Do I think Larry fandom should stop? No. It’s a group memory of the entire fandom, but our conspiracy should only be about THE Louis and THE Harry in the band, not them now in 2024.

I can smell the hate coming from here already haha, but it’s okay ;)

y'all I stg if people really looked, there is def just as much evidence for narry as there is for larry. I stg those two acted like boyfriends all the damn time.

I know im a bit of a crazy fan, seeing as i read/write one direction fanfiction and smut, but some of y'all are CRAZY!! I will never understand the fans who just disregard everything the boys have said about themselves, their relationships, and personal identities and make up these unrealistic images of who they are and claim that everything is a stunt... I mean, choose to believe what you want, i’m not hardcore judging, but I mean it gets to a point...

Obviously, there’s no truth to it. Obviously

ive talked abt it b4 but rpf used to largely be uncontroversial bc ppl knew how to 1) mind their business and 2) keep up a sort of kayfabe/understand that we are dealing w public personas and not the actual people's innermost thoughts . my theory for the last ~decade has been that certain overzealous peterick fan antics paved the way for larries and the phandom to Ruin Things

I paid no attention to WWWY and that was a mistake apparently because Tonight Alive, Hey Monday, and We Are The In Crowd were all there. Together. I just know that 8th grade me would've used the second pic of Jenna and Tay for a fanfic cover on Wattpad.

Beardy Boys - a double meaning

I got reminded of this today, and thought I’d share for any larries who weren’t around when this was posted on the official one direction Instagram, and are interested in this old theory.

The boys tended to have a bit of control/posted what they wanted to post on the 1d Insta at some points. Sometimes these posts would be signed off with a “- Harry x”, or “1DHQ x”, or sometimes nothing at all. There’s also the 2 photos posted on the same day, one taken by harry of louis, and one taken by louis of harry. Which we love, but this post isn’t about that.

No, this post is about an Insta post with Liam, Louis, and Zayn, appropriately captioned “Beardy Boys”. Harry (I think was in between beards at that time and rumours came out about Nicole Scherzinger later in the year, but please correct me if I’m wrong) and Niall didn’t publicly have a partner/beard at the time.

Quite clearly this post can be seen easily as “oh yes they are the only 3 with facial hair” which was why it was easy to post this without too much suspicion, however, we know how much these boys (particularly Louis and Harry) love to signal/use double meanings etc. to communicate with the larries. Therefore, the ‘Beardy Boys’ post was born on 22 August 2013, and quite promptly analysed by all of us.

Liam, Louis, and Zayn were all in “serious” relationships at the time that this was posted on 22 August 2013.

Zayn: engaged to Perrie Edwards - the engagement was announced about a week before this photo, and then 23 August 2013, the day after this photo, he posted on Twitter about being super happy and thanking everyone for their support on the engagement. Funnily enough, that engagement fell through exactly 2 years later, in August 2015.

Liam: dating Sophia Smith - these two started dating in May of 2013. The breakup was announced 26 Oct 2015.

Louis: dating Eleanor - I don’t need to go much further into detail here.

Anyway, take it with a grain of salt, I just remembered it and thought I’d share hehe.

”You have to think like an anti too if you want to figure this out, because you need to go in with the mindset of actually trying to debunk the theory rather than prove it, because, if you're trying to prove it, it's a lot easier for a ton of bias to slip in, like ignoring contradicting evidence.”

This is my biggest problem with the fandom right now. Larry being real, specifically the fanfiction version where they are possessive and protective of each other and larrie fans who are the only fans they actually like between daydreaming about a sugary-sweet happily ever after involving their kids wearing 1D merch to the reunion tour, is treated as a given and all “evidence” involves working backwards from that forgone conclusion. X has to be true for larry to be real, therefore X is true full stop. Larries dismiss everything they don’t like as fake or something the boys were held at gunpoint to do if it doesn’t fit their narrative.

“Harry doesn’t actually want to be an actor, he’s being forced by management in order to make more money off his sex symbol image.”

“Louis doesn’t actually want to move away from a pop sound to something more rock, it’s management trying to alienate the female fan base to court straight men.”

Could these things be true? Sure, but most of the conversations around them don’t bring up any actual evidence of these arguments, instead falling back on “this isn’t the real them.” Which of course they totally know. Actual documentation and discussion of potential industry abuse is being lost in the slurry of fans’ coping strategy for their faves not fitting the perfect image they’ve projected onto them.

YES! I so agree with this. Okay, so, for example, there was that one phone call that was recorded by a fan where Louis was ranting about "all these crazy Larry fans" and asking them if they were recording. I saw SO many other larries literally saying it was fake and it was someone else's voice. I mean, listen, I can't say for a fact that it is his voice, but these people just immediately dismiss everything that they don't like or that makes them angry/uncomfortable. I understand there is a heavy emotional investment into the idea of Louis and Harry being victims, but, in reality, we don't know what's going on.

I am actually going to be working on a post about what I think could potentially be occurring instead of this idea of contractual closeting, by using an example of a gay couple who came out and had very distinct parallels to Louis and Harry. I mean, I'm never going to say I know the how's and why's of their closeting, but I don't think it's as straightforward as "they're victims of illegal contracts!", which is a theory based on a whopping load of nothing. I have seen Rebecca Ferguson and a few other past XFactor contestants who were on the same season as 1D in 2010 or around that time come out and talk about blackmail, coerced contracts, etc., so I don't think you can completely write it off as impossible. If I had to just make a quick guess, I'd say they were being pressured just like anyone else in the industry and that Louis might be scared to come out for some reason or another, and, since there is a lot of money involved concerning Harry, there could be some blackmail or coerced contracts like I said. Anyway, I have more evidence to back up different possibilities (they're just possibilities with some minor evidence, of course). I might make a post covering them all one day.

Here is a snippet of one of the posts I'm working on which talks briefly about Simon's dressing down:

Basically, there aren't any examples I can find of people in the industry being contractually closeted. It's always "I was afraid I'd destroy my career" or "I was afraid I'd be letting my managers/band members down and ruining their careers, and I felt a responsibility." So, if Louis and Harry are being closeted via illegal contracts, this would be an isolated case.

Now, do I think they both want out of the closet? Considering some of their obvious signalling and their "wink, wink" moments (such as Louis pointing at a Harry sign and yelling "yes!" or Harry singing "Lou" instead of "you" and immediately laughing), I don't think they are ashamed of their sexuality or that they enjoy pretending to be straight. But could there be some fear concerning coming out? It's quite possible.

(LET ME MAKE IT CLEAR THAT THESE IMAGES DO NOT REFLECT MY OPINION NOR ARE THEY TRYING TO SERVE AS A LEGITIMATE THEORY; THEY ARE SIMPLY POSSIBILITIES THAT I AM PUTTING FORTH, SINCE THERE IS MINOR EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THEM)

Anyway, yeah. I'm tired of people stating their mere hypotheses as fact when they either have no evidence or very minor evidence to support them (like the contractual closeting theory; which... tbh, when larries act like that theory is fact, it kind of discredits us because it makes antis immediately dismiss the concept of Larry since contractual closeting isn't legal nor has it happened before, when we could just... not act like that theory is fact and instead consider other possibilities and quite frankly the more likely possibilities such as industry pressure or coercion).
