HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE SASSMASTER FROM DONCASTER ILY DIVA 💙

[seasurfacefullofclouds1]

Hi Sea, how are you doing today? I was looking through the zouis tag and came across this: https://www.tumblr.com/seasurfacefullofclouds1/636770795039981568/today-was-my-first-time-watching-the-whole-chicken?source=share Would you mind elaborating? I'm sorry, but I only know fandom lore from the few times I can take time from real life to surf social media. Thanks in advance if you choose to answer! Have a nice day!

This was written in 2020 so my memory might not be 100%.

I think the allusion was to the Zayn - Louis - Harry dynamic leading up to 2014 and eventually to Zayn’s leaving.

The “Chicken in Chile” episode wasn’t just a media circus accusing Louis and Zayn of being bad role models and bad for the band. It was also a way for Harry to look better by comparison, a narrative he doubled down on in the Zane Lowe interview.

Even now, fans reiterate what Harry said about the hiatus— “he was doing the band a favor because they were exhausted.”

In other words, Harry Styles has always been “the good one,” the rule follower, the caring leader, but Louis and Zayn (the sassmaster from Doncaster and the bad boy from Bradford) were always “the bad ones.” Harry only did drugs for creativity, never for recreation.

Harry’s attempt to rewrite history is kinda weird compared to how they were actually behaving in 2014. Zayn and Louis were losing a ton of weight. Zayn hadn’t shown up to a perfume commercial shoot in fall 2014. Meanwhile, Louis and Zayn were still very close. They had gotten numerous tattoos that year, and went together to Bondi Ink in Australia to get a few, including Louis’ dagger. So the upshot of 2014 is that Zayn was already reading the writing on the wall about the future of the band/ Harry going solo, and Louis was pulled in two directions between his loyalty and friendship to Zayn, and he loyalty to the band.

Chicken in Chile turned out to be a good way to cast both Louis and Zayn in a bad light. Harry carried this strategy into his promotion for Fine Line.

My brain is connecting some dots:

Louis Tomlinson & Lionel Messi...

...aka the two men I am in love with the most, are two tiny, talented guys with fluffy hair, who are usually sporting a bit of a kinda shaggy beard:

But once they shave, it's like they age backwards and become like 10 years younger, so you don't even recognize from which year the photo is. (could be from yesterday, a year ago or even eight years, who knows)

Examples:

Leo Messi 2015 vs 2023

Louis Tomlinson 2012 vs 2020

So yeah I think, that right here is my type in men and I'm not even mad about it.

Bonus:

If you listen carefully you can hear a certain sassmaster from Doncaster screaming into the void after seeing pap pics of his husband wearing a wedding ring that isn’t his own in public

[dr4cking]

[kindofsharethat]

I bet all the boys will form a human barricade around louis while chanting "sassmaster from doncaster" while louis sips on raspberry slush with a plastic crown on his head, sitting on a plush red velvet chair, ready to unleash the words of fury

“i heard what you said about any one of harry’s haircuts”

I think they've ALL grown up and changed in interviews. For Niall it was a good thing, bc he was so goofy & nervous back then and talked less. But the others lost a bit of their goofy charm, maybe also bc it's harder in solo interviews. Louis was famous for being the sassmaster from Doncaster and while he's still nice & cute in interviews, he's far less sarcastic & funny than in 1D. They're all older now with good & bad experiences and more guarded. 1D will never be the same if they reunite.
