i agree with everything you’ve said about louis’ career! his fans really should really start listening to what he says fr. i’ve seen some people bring up the fact that louis said in a recent he would like if fitf was “commercially successful” but i’d love for people to understand that commercial success doesn’t necessarily mean breaking streaming records and staying 234 weeks as no1. louis is very successful and he’ll probably only continue to grow as an artist but maybe “growth” doesn’t means/look the same to you (frustrated fans) as it does do him. he’s doing fine! great, even! he’s clearly happy and satisfied with where’s he at in his career atm so why shouldn’t we be as well? also, since you’ve mentioned harry, i think this equation gets even trickier and more nuanced when you add larry to the mix bc, if you believe they’re together, you have to acknowledge that there’s absolutely no way they could maintain a complicated closeted relationship between two harry-styles-sized artists. so louis not wanting to be as “mainstream” as harry is a positive thing when it comes to that imo!

Yeah, I think Louis said it best when he said he wants to just keep touring, the rest doesn't really matter, and I'll just project my reasons: for one, instant gratification, and for two, hella cash money, like, the MOST cash money, especially in the streaming age. He's the no. 1 decider of what he wants to do with his own life, plus he has a shit ton of money and a lot more inside information into what he actually wants and the actual resources he has at his disposal. Why would anyone else fucking worry about any of that lmao
