Gina, I agree about the slouching but looking at this thumbnail, it also appears he was engaging in one of his favorite activities: shamelessly flirting with male interviewers!
@apparentlybychance and I were just talking about this and hopefully, he didn’t rile this guy up like that poor Australian guy back in the 1D days!
That entrance! Men cheering for Louis is so fucking hot…🥵🥵
The entrance! The men in the crowd chanting “LOUEH! LOUEH!” whenever it was his turn to play! The hosts kept calling him “Lou” throughout the whole football activity thing. Those other guys picking him (over the PROFESSIONAL football player) to attempt the shot that would help them double or nothing their earnings 💀 The giant men enveloping him in a bear hug when he made said shot and carrying him in the middle of their man love circle. And let’s not forget this;
Allie!! Why do you think Louis reacted the way he did with the picture of Timothée Chalamet? why did he think it was rude?
Hahaha the eyebrows, right?! It was a good one, it gave it so much away. A lot of possible scenarios, my guess is that he *definitely* knew who Timothée Chalamet was as soon as he saw the picture and realised it was the cute guy from the Call Me By Your Name. And I totally understand that he thought the reaction was not appropriate and wanted to do it again 😂😂 I mean, no matter your interpretation of the facts.. it wasn't the most heterosexual reaction, was it.
SoccerAM anon here again with an update!! IM CRYING CUZ LOUIS IS SO CARING, some dudes there were thanking Louis for writing TOU because it helped them grieve. They were cuddling and exchanging stories (obvs not gonna go deep into that). They talked about soccer and vape flavors afterwards. Almost everyone of the guys LOVED OOMS and showed their Most Played in Spotify to him. It was just so awesome. The guy I'm dating even told Louis (IM SHAKING AND CRYING) that he serenaded me with "Always You" for me to say "yes" to date him and Louis chuckled and said "Nice man, happy you got the girl!". Ngl, until now my guy hasn't stop talking about Louis' eyes and I'm feeling a mixture of jealousness and love. Anyways, might plan on saying "yes" also to this guy IF he proposed to me at the FITFWT HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. It's so great to finally found someone that loves Louis the same way I do, you know? Really sorry Gina for the sappy things on the last part 😋
Nooooo this is so great!!! Thank you for sharing it with us. Your guy sounds great and I just love hearing about people being so nice to Louis and so excited to meet him.
Talking about Louis hiring mostly men - this is probably not very fair to men (lol) but I can't help but wonder if he surrounds himself with mostly (we assume) cishet white men is in part because they're more likely to just... take him at face value? Like, if he's not bringing all of these people in on the secret, then maybe it's easier for him to deal with people who don't necessarily have the emotional intelligence to pick up on any red flags or pick at any holes in his story re: Eleanor/bbg/his sexuality. lololol i feel like this sounds so bad but my experience with my friends who are cishet men is that they have been socialized not to talk about feelings or relationships unless prodded, so it could just be a comfortable arrangement for louis, that this stuff won't get brought up unless he wants it to.
hi anon!
this does sound really really bad - but I’m with you there 💀
just getting perpetually disappointed by the lack of emotional intelligence in men makes you… readjust your world view.
don’t get me wrong, I really really like Louis and his team seem - compared to most other men - like really, really good men. But I do feel like men in general are socialised and raised in a way that it will take a long time until they’re catching up with people who’ve been socialised as women and girls.
so I can see your way of thinking here, and it might not even be a conscious choice - just that he doesn’t get challenged nonstop by the women around him who see the things that don’t add up.
it kinda reminds me of my headcanon of Lottie calling him out on his mean girlfriend haha
I will forever be fascinated about the question what the range is of how much the people that he surrounds himself with really know
