Note

as a former larrie, in hindsight, it breaks my heart a bit that we had instance after instance of louis defending H (from press, from the other boys, etc), telling him not to put himself down, being loving and supportive, and nurturing a young man that ended up growing into his confidence (for better or worse) despite the microscope they were under and becoming a decent and thoughtful person (which is even more saddening that his own greed could steadily turn him into the polar opposite that we see now. louis gave so much of himself to all of the boys and that band in general).

whereas, on H’s part, basically all we had was him saying louis was “loud, loud, and loud”, someone you can “sit and admire what they’re like”, and the one and only instance of him defending louis was H telling grimmy that he wouldn’t tell their stylist that louis had gotten fat on a prank call, which was lackluster to begin with. the only other quality i can recall him attributing to louis is “good listener”.

it upset me as a louie then but questioning anything in larrie spaces is taboo so i just wondered in private how uncared for louis must have felt when he loves so loudly and would go/has gone to bat for anyone that he loved. i hope he can have or does have that love reciprocated now from someone that “loves him for him” - to take a quote from zach sang

Yeah, this whole thoughtful ask, thank you.

From Louis’ lyrics (from Strong onward), I get the feeling that Louis goes 100% where love is concerned.

For Louis, love is not about whether the other person is “worthy” or not, but whether Louis himself can open his heart wide open, and hold nothing back, whether love can be a fearless, sincere, wholehearted, committed experience.

He explained, “Love is only for the brave,” and I take it to mean that love is a complete experience from beginning to end, whether it breaks him or not, whether the other person turns out to be more or less than he hoped— the only person Louis can control, is himself.

Even when hurt, Louis has to keep his heart open to experience, to the possibility of being loved back, in order to experience the joy of being able to give love.

An inwardly focused, egocentric person will not understand the emotional fulfillment of giving love to others— whether in intimate relationships, or friendships, or professional relationships. Louis always understood this perspective. It’s why his opening acts and colleagues love him. Louis is not about mutual promotion, and never was.

If we look at it this way, we’ll realize that Louis never felt sorry for himself because he never felt bad about the experience. He is all in, and he lives life to his standards.

my minor superpower is that whenever i turn on smooth radio there's a 75% chance they'll either be playing "it ain't over 'til it's over" by lenny kravitz, "the living years" by mike + the mechanics, or "zoom" by fat larry's band 📻🎶

Very Uncool Love Story part 3 (MPREG, WG story)

Themes: M/M MPREG romance (low key slow burn) between a fat librarian and a disabled punk musician

Words: 2203

Part: 3/?

Their first date ended up a stroll by the river and a coffee at one of the Pier restaurants. Larry was surprised at how easy it was to talk to this person he only just met, but it really felt almost natural. Almost, because let's be honest, he was still an awkward nerd, but even that didn't seem to pose much of a problem around Oliver.

It was embarrassing to even thing about the way Oliver made him feel; he couldn’t remember if dating always felt like this, but he had a sneaking suspicion that it didn’t.

"Hello?" He put the phone on speaker with his elbow, hands completely covered in dish soap.

"Brother! You're cruel, why didn't you call me yesterday?! How was your date? Tell me everything!"

"We walked along the river and talked, and then we went to get coffee at the Pier. That's it, not much else happened…"

"Soo… Did you enjoy it, do you like him? Will you go out again?"

"I really enjoyed it. It was so easy to talk to him, I was surprised…"

"Oh my god, my brother is in love!"

"Stop it, Arianna! I'm not in love! But, I want to spend more time with him."

"How old is he?"

"He's twenty-eight."

"Oh my! Maybe it's not too late for me to dream of becoming an aunt!"

"ARIANNA!"

"What? I'm just saying! I had Jonas when I was thirty-seven, he still has time to pop out a few…"

"I'm hanging up."

"Larry...“

"Goodbye, sister."

"Hello?"

"Hey, Larry."

"Oliver!"

Oliver's laugh came out crackling through the receiver.

"Who were you expecting to hear calling from my number?"

"Er…"

Oliver snickered.

"So, listen. I really enjoyed that the other day."

"I'm glad you did! I mean to say, so did I…"

"Great, so listen, I’m kind of… in a band. It's nothing big, just a hobby with my friends. I thought maybe you would like to come to see us practice?"

"A rock band…?"

"Well, duh."

"Do you remember that I'm an uncool librarian?"

"Oh boohoo! I want you to come. And the band… They're my friends, they will not care if you're cool or a librarian, or whatever. Besides, the lead guitarist is an accountant. And the drummer, my brother-in-law, is disabled too. "Cool people" are not really what you imagine them to be, trust me. Or at least not the ones I hang out with."

"An accountant…?"

"Don't tell me accounting is any cooler than Library Sciences."

It was Larry's turn to laugh.

"What?"

"I never met a cool rocker who knew the proper name for Library Sciences."

Oliver was silent for a moment and Larry felt immediately sick with anxiety. What has he done this time?

"Okay, so tomorrow at six, The Hole in Tooting. Call me when you get there!"

Larry stared at his phone in bafflement. What the hell was his life becoming?

He looked at himself in the mirror critically. Larry made excessive efforts to not look like a fat, middle-aged librarian. The effect, however, was still a fat, middle-aged librarian, only in more subdued colours. He opted for a turtleneck instead of a collared shirt, even if he felt that it made him look older. On top of that, he wore his least librarian-esque blazer and grey chinos: he didn't have any black ones and even if he did, he felt like it would make him look more like a priest and less like a rocker.

The Hole seemed to be exactly what it advertised itself to be, Larry observed, staring at the ragged, old metal doors that were only halfway corroded, with the name of the club smeared on it in a chaotic, yet presumably artistic, hand.

He called Oliver.

"Hey, it's Larry, I'm here."

"You came! I didn't think you would, you sounded honestly terrified on the phone yesterday."

"You invited me, of course I came…."

"You're the cutest, Larry! Someone will get you in a minute."

"Someone?" He asked, feeling instant anxiety at the prospect of interacting with someone new.

Larry viciously fidgeted with his sleeves as the rusty door whined itself open. A slim man in his mid-thirties with a mop of light brown curls and eyes to match smiled at him with a smile that made him look ten years younger.

"Larry, I presume?" He clipped in an accent similar to Oliver’s.

"Y-yes, hello."

"Come on in then, yeah?"

Larry followed the brown mop inside as it bounced.

"So you and Oliver shaggin'?"

Larry sputtered.

"No! I mean… We're just… we went on a date but I'd never…"

"Easy, I'm just fucking with ya" the man snickered, he looked at Larry over his shoulder as they kept going down the dingy stairs. "You're a proper big lad aren't ye?"

"Uh…"

"I mean, you're tall, man! How does Oliver reach you? He's a bean."

Larry let out a surprised snort of laughter. A bean? He'd have to remember that one.

"Aaron, what are you doing to my guest?” Larry felt himself perk up at the clear sound of Oliver’s voice. “Hey.” Oliver said with a smile, reaching a hand out.

Larry took it as if to shake it but Oliver used that to pull himself close and hug Larry. Aaron was right, Larry thought, Oliver was really tiny. Larry shyly returned the hug, resting his chin on top of Oliver’s head just for a moment. “Well, well, did you dress up for me?” Oliver asked after he backed away to arms-length. Larry was about to be embarrassed upon the realisation Oliver just pressed himself against his flabby body until something else caught his attention. “Are you okay? You look tired…” He said before thinking. Oliver’s face had a greyish tint to it and there were heavy dark circles under his eyes that didn’t appear to be make-up. “You’re such a sweetheart, Larry! See how he worries about me?” Oliver said to Aaron.

Larry couldn’t help but notice that he didn’t reply to the question.

“Come, let me introduce you to the band!” Oliver said, pulling Larry’s hand. The basement they were in was rather spacious and the bare concrete walls were covered in intricate graffiti. There was an area with round old wooden tables and a bar. In the furthest corner of the room stood an elevated stage. Larry could see three people busy with setting up their instruments, two men and a woman. He mentally scolded himself, because for some reason he didn’t expect a woman in a rock band.

“Hey, guys!” Oliver waved, dragging Larry behind him. “Come meet Larry!”

The woman jumped off the stage, heading towards them. The dark-haired man did too and then waited, helping the last man get off the stage and hand him his crutch. Larry looked at the band that gathered before him. There was the dark-haired man, his long hair hanging around his face, his long sleeves rolled up to reveal heavy tattoos. He looked at Larry with a small smirk that made Larry instantly aware he was being analyzed. Not in a mischievous way, more like… Studied and filed for further examination. The other man was very classically handsome, with a mane of golden blonde hair and bright blue eyes. He was leaning heavily on a crutch and smiled at Larry when their eyes met. The woman was… Larry blinked. The woman looked exactly like Oliver would if he was a woman, only with a slightly darker complexion; the skin was more pinkish in tint and the hair was platinum gold rather than white. Just like Oliver, she was attractive but with sharp, severe edges that could be considered too sharp to be classically beautiful.

“You’re… Oliver’s sister?” He asked, locking gazes with pale blue eyes, also darker than Oliver’s.

“Well, well, Oliver told us you were smart!” She snickered but it quickly turned into a smile “Hey, I’m Ester, nice to meet you.” “Larry, it’s a pleasure.” They shook. “This here is my big oaf of a husband, Matti.” She gestured to the handsome blonde man who flashed Larry a cheeky smile. “And this is Kian.” “Pleasure.” Kian said, his brown eyes flashing with a smile “I’m the famed guitarist-accountant.” “Famed where?” Ester quipped. “Nice to meet you all." Larry said. "I'm excited to hear your band."

Oliver laughed, hugging Larry's arm through which his own was still entangled.

"See? He even lies adorably!"

Kian and Matti exchanged looks and Larry wondered what that was about.

"We're just playing covers, it's not much,” Oliver said, suddenly looking a bit bashful.

“I’m sure it’s great,” Larry said, not being able to stop himself from squeezing Oliver’s arm.

“Well, let’s get to it then, shall we?” Kian asked, slapping Matti’s back.

“Grab a seat at the bar, I’m sure Aaron will pour you something nice.” Oliver’s face contorted a bit and Larry felt suddenly really upset when he realised that Oliver wanted to wink, but he didn’t have enough control over his injured eye to actually succeed.

He watched Kian lift Oliver effortlessly to the stage and Larry felt irrationally jealous.

For some reason, Larry was shocked to see Oliver grab the microphone. Revealing his deeply seated sexism, he thought the sister would be the singer, but she grabbed the bass guitar instead. He didn’t have time to sufficiently prepare mentally before they started.

Oliver started singing and it was nice, surprisingly subdued and calm for a rock song, but it was nice.

But then, he really sang.

With his full voice. His clear, cold-as-ice tenor and Larry was simply shocked. Oliver had talent, there was no doubt about it. Larry was sure the rest of the band was great too, he couldn’t really tell. And neither did he really care, there was something on that stage he cared much more for than the instruments.

Larry remembered that they only played covers, but he wouldn’t be able to tell if he wasn’t told so. Oliver was so… Vibrant. That was what was so mesmerising about him, Larry realised. It seemed like everything had its saturation turned down to minus twenty while Oliver operated on at least plus thirty. When he sang, he really sang, as if he understood the song better than the author himself did. It made Larry yearn for something. Made him feel desperate to be this passionate about anything��

“So, did you like it?” Oliver asked, when an undetermined amount of time later he was sitting next to Larry at the bar. Larry found himself thrown into such deep melancholy by Oliver’s voice that he failed to notice when they stopped playing.

“Oliver…” Larry started, but realised he had no idea how to finish.

“What?” Oliver’s eyes widened comically. “That bad?”

“No! God, no! You’re… You’re a really good singer, Oliver. I really… I really liked it. A lot. I would love to come to an actual concert.”

“You don’t have to lie, I’ll still like you even if you hate my band.”

“I’m serious, Oli.” Possessed by the onslaught of emotions he just experience Larry grabbed Oliver’s small hand and clutched it tightly. “You’re fantastic.”

Oliver didn’t say anything, simply smiled at him and covered Larry’s hand with his free one.

“Thank you for coming, Larry, it means a lot to me.”

There was a moment of stillness when they just looked at each other and Larry could’ve sworn Oliver started to lean in, before Aaron clonked two drinks in front of them very, very loudly.

“Fuck you, Aaron!” Oli hollered throwing a beer coaster at the barman. “Let’s get out of here, I need some fresh air.”

“I think the air here might be fresher than above ground.” Larry noted, but nevertheless slid off his stool and helped Oliver get down, handing him his crutch and receiving a beautiful smile in return.

“They’re terrible for you.” Larry said, looking as Oliver pulled a cigarette from this pocket once they were back on the street. “We all have to die of something.” “You will have smokers breath.” Oliver cocked an eyebrow. He stood still for a moment, finally putting the cigarette away and reaching to bring a very surprised Larry closer. He grabbed his shoulders and almost forcefully dragged him down. Before Larry even had time to think, their lips met. He was enveloped in a cloud of fresh citrusy perfume and skinny leather-clad arms and with soft, warm lips pressed to his. He very shyly, very hesitantly, wrapped his arms around Oliver's tiny waist, bringing him closer and deepening the kiss.

They finally parted and Larry felt like he was about to pass out, but instead, he burst out laughing.

"What's funny?" Oliver said, defensively.

"Lipstick." Larry choked out, looking at Oliver's slightly more punk Joker impression. He fished out tissues from the depths of his pockets, wiping his own face and then gently holding Oliver's chin in one hand while cleaning his face with the other.

"Damn. I might need to change my lipstick." Oliver grimaced.

“Does that mean you’re going to kiss me again?” “It is included in my five-year plan, yes.” Oliver answered, completely deadpan.

Larry laughed again as they walked towards the Tube station, hands gently entangled.

spill the 🫖 sis

no tea… there’s just a video floating around that the Tim guy (who I really dislike btw) rt from a larrie on twt… the premise of which is that if Louis does get that no. 1, the reason for that will be the efforts of; ot5s, hld, directioners, Nial Horan, the fat dads & fic writers amongst some others… ffs!

Reality check: not one of these mfs will be the reason, the reason will be a stellar fucking record by Louis Tomlinson, support and love for him by his team of writers/producers/collaborators, and band members for the entire release week, louies, solo Louis UAs, some larries sure (the ones that give enough of a shit), and sure some bands that sent out tweets in support of him (definitely not fucking fat dads who’ve been referring to louies as rabid dogs on twitter btw and pandering to larries while blocking louies for calling them out on their bullshit).

#anon #beyond my understanding what’s made people reblog that

is it impossible to imagine a scenario where sony was manipulating the situation once they realized zayn wanted out. It's a pretty great strategy to let one boy go 'do his thing' knowing his music is no competition for 1d or future solo harry. Also weaponize his exit against him. they didn't realize the strength of Zayn's talent, the fact he had Malay at the helm and Z fans loyalty. But it nicely sets up OTRA for harry to be the solo artist. we know that worked perfectly. I don't think zayn had to give up as much but he likely expected the tabloid nastiness that started March 25. it worked really well for zayn because forever he's the cool one who thumbed his nose at a boy band. That sit down interview with a less corrupted Zane Lowe in 2016 is to date the best 1d long form.

Lots to unpack here, but I’ll agree that

1. Sony had control of Harry’s, Zayn’s, and Louis’ solo careers post-1D— in other words, they could control 2/5 whom they thought would really affect Harry’s solo careers in the palm of their hands, and they did their best to kill these careers with the result we see clearly today.

2. Manipulation is the right word. They manipulated the fuck out of fandom with blogs on Tumblr and “shady anons” asking Big Larries leading questions, at a time with big Tumblr fans were influential. Even in 2022, Big Larries leftover from the 1D era were arguing that Louis wanted to sacrifice his career for Harry the MCU star.

3. Manipulation of the public includes blacklisting Louis so their songs are never reviewed (fairly, or if at all), and never played on radio. This recent “critical opinion” on Harry, for example, has this paragraph:

Zayn Malik came close, when he had a hit with “Pillow Talk” in 2016 – but then he had a controversial break-up with the beloved supermodel Gigi Hadid, and has since reverted from “go” very much back to “touch”. Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson have both released successful solo material, but nobody I know could name a song. Liam Payne’s trajectory has consisted, as far as I can tell, of dating Cheryl Cole and fathering her child, before the relationship ended and he had all his cheek fat surgically removed.

“Nobody I know could name a song.” In Niall’s case, his songs have been all over radio and big Spotify playlists, as well as Billboard charts. In Louis’ case, the strategy to blacklist him in industry worked incredibly well. Pre-blacklisting, Louis’ first solo singles did incredibly well, and fans voted to name Louis breakout solo artist for iHeart in 2017 (so much that they invented a last minute category for Camila Cabello to “win”). Louis’ songs are better than 1D songs— and better than Harry’s— and should be on radio, but the industry has written him off.

4. Post breakup, 1D fans have disagreed on Zayn, but there’s no doubt that the industry considers him the cool one, the daring one, the one with the musical chops. When called on for the big songs, like his duet with Taylor, Zayn always delivers. The problem is that Zayn doesn’t perform live, and that is a big problem. A singer’s voice doesn’t last forever.

5. “A less corrupt Zane Lowe.” Zane Lowe’s interviews used to be something of an art form. He’s much wealthier now, but the interviews have become awkward, hour-long puff pieces, unworthy of Lowe’s intelligence. As always, no one cares about intelligence.

"Faaather." Travis, whining

"What?" Kenneth, tired of Travis whining

"I want a challenge." Travis

"Yeah, let me just call down an angel for you to fight." Kenneth, sarcastically, before turning around to be face-to-titty with a (male)angel.

I very much love this being like the tiktok sound of that guy squealing in surprise.

Kenneth, who never expected angels to hear him, let alone be real, is now afraid. Not because his son is going to fight an Angel. But because the Angel casually guided Travis into fighting Kenneth. He has no powers and no respect/fear from his child.

Of course the Angel knew that and wanted to watch Kenneth get dragged around like he deserved. Despite their complacency the heavens are very adamant to keep out abusers. There is no room nor opportunity for someone like Kenneth in their home.

I can also picture the Angel shows Travis a more appealing humanoid form while Kenneth only sees this terrifying creature with copious amounts of eyes and rotating gold bands. Travis thinks the humanoid version is boringC pulls the Angel down by their face (very gentle bby boy) and politely asks them to show their real form. He doesn’t care about appearances for friends now that he can have some.

And that’s how Travis has ended up with a new Angel friend that likes to linger around in a very handsome human male form. Sal and Larry absolutely despise this new guy clinging to Travis. Acting brand new to everything.

Larry has to be held back and silenced whenever the guy looks at Travis for help and Travis offers HIS drink! While he opens the new bottle!! Or they share meals because apparently utensils are strange to him! Who was this poser!? Get away from their Travis!!

Sal tries to wedge himself between the two. Only to get sympathetic looks from the new guy and confused glances from Travis. He doesn’t usually act so needy but this is unfair. Some handsome stranger comes in and steals Travis’ attention from him! He finally has the chance to be friends and now there’s another person to take up Travis’ time (Philip is first and foremost always to Travis. And vice versa.).

Red is a little jealous of the new spirit around his host. However he is much more relaxed after Travis showed blatant favoritism by holding him and demanding the new guy apologize for upsetting him. The fat cat purred as the Angel begrudgingly apologized for his transgressions to the demon.

#sally face #sally face au #travis phelps #larry johnson #sal fisher #larry x travis #larvis #laravis #salvis #sal x travis #sal is jealous #jealous larry #angel OC sally face #they are biblically accurate to those who deserve no comfort #they will present in a more preferable form to the ones they truly seek out #hence a handsome man for the lil gay menace #travis with demon powers #red eyed demon
