hi gina, i saw on twitter that antis/solo harries are blaming us larries for what harry said about people who „blur the lines for you“ and that he means us with „there's this corner of the thing, and they're going to say this, and it's going to be really crazy, and they're going to be really mean, and it's not real...“
like they think he’s indirectly calling us out and calling us disrespectful. i know that it’s twitter and i shouldn’t take this serious because i‘m confident in my believes, but i don’t really know what to say or think about that. what do you think?
Hi sweetheart. A friend sent me this tweet just now:
Tumblr media
And this really sums up Harry's promo. I think this article is particularly blatant and anyone who's will to look beyond their "side" can see it. He calls Twitter a shit hole and points fingers at fans (larries, sure, but really, also harries because everyone fucking hates Olivia). He comments about exploring his sexuality (what straight man ever?), but also has multiple quotes from his current "girlfriend". He allows a focuses on DWD, but only spoken about through teh author and Olivia while he speaks himself on the tenderness of the gay sex scenes in MP. One Direction and X Factor are mentioned, but there are plenty of comments about how he's surpassed even his time in "the band". Oh, and don't forget, there's lots of talk about his movies, but also mention of how he doesn't think he's that into making movies and he's already working on HS4.
They really laid out a little something for everyone.
And people are pissed. But just you wait, we'll get a little wholesome Harry content and everyone will forget how upset they are. @daisiesonafield-blog just pointed out to me how they did this after everyone was angry about the deluge of pap shoots and the fucking circus at the restaurant in New York. Suddenly we get a cutesy interview that was done months ago at Coachella and everyone forgot to be mad at Harry.
It's exhausting being his fan. And you either have to roll with it and accept that this is the way it always has been and will continue to be, or you ignore it all and just focus on his music.
But this is how he and his team are playing things. There's something for everyone. He's not going to double down on anything without also having wiggle room for dissenters to clutch at something else he's said that proves their beliefs. I really don't see how this is sustainable, but so far his charm and his talent are carrying him through it.
And just to be clear. I think H is queer. I think he and Louis are together. I think Holivia is a steaming pile of horseshit. My beliefs remain the same. I just don't know how much abuse I care to take in exchange for being vocal about it.

I just found your account and read pretty far back in your posts. I can’t tell you how spot on you are and that I agree 100% with your opinion. Especially with the facts you’ve shared about Louis improving his shows. I have all the same thoughts and have expressed them on X and in my gc, but of course I’m overrun with how ‘toxic’ I am. I’ve been to a few of Louis’ shows and watch the lives and it’s getting worse instead of better- he really is losing all charisma he ever had with the lad act (drinking, not knowing lyrics, unable to sing and relying on his band for that, etc). What particularly drives me mad is the way the audience is sending him so much energy during the songs and he responds by rubbing his hands and walking slowly back and forth across the stage. You can see the crowds energy instantly deflate. I hope he/mgt takes your ideas into consideration. I really want so much more for him!
And lastly, Harry is my favorite of all time- but I agree with you when you said he’s a coward. I hate that though.
Hi, anon!
Welcome to my blog! It's hard to criticise H and L in this fandom without being branded toxic, a hater, a complainer or being entitled. There is so much blind idolatry and fan policing happening to make people conform and behave like sheep. That does not make for a happy and thriving fandom.
To make a successful artist you need two things. An artist who respects, appriciates and caters to their fandom, and a fandom who supports the artist. You need both to make a successful artist. Some people in this fandom believe that the artist should be supported regardless. Even if the artist doesn’t respect their fandom, doesn’t appreciate it, and only cater to their own needs while disregarding the fandom's. If the artist keep doing that, they'll lose fans. Fans have plenty of artists to spend time and money on. Artists need to fight for attention from fans and the general public. The artists who don't manage to hold fans attention, feed them, appreciate them and engage them will struggle to have their songs chart, have their tickets sell, get gigs like festivals and get invited to events.
We as fans are entitled to the bare minimum of respect. Louis isn't and hasn't been very respectful to his fandom majority, the larries. He's downright been disrespectful. We as fans don’t need to tolerate being ridiculed, called delusional or mocked. It's also not respectful to be late to go on stage, not knowing the order of the songs or your own lyrics. It's disrespectful to cancel a whole leg of your with a half assed apology and no real explanation. This should all be bare minimum. People have travelled hours to be there, queued for hours to get barricade and spend a months wage to pay for the tickets, travel and accomodation. Respect their time and money spent.
Fans need to feel appreciated and wanted. Larries don't always feel wanted. We also sometimes don't feel catered to when we get things we didn’t ask for, like a propaganda piece of a documentary, stunting or him taking the fan popular songs off the playlist, while giving us a random song cover. Fans are allowed to say, that's not right, that's not cool and feel disappointed.
Neither H nor L are perfect. They do have good and bad sides. Things they're good at and things they're not good at. They fuck up too sometimes. It's important to try to compensate for your shortcomings and mend your mistakes. If you can’t give your fans what they deserve or ask for, then give them something else that will draw the attention away from it. If you've fucked up, do better next time.
Louis is closeted and he needs to uphold a fake image. He's treating larries like shit, he's stunting, lying and gaslighting. When you can’t deliver on respect and appreciation for your fans, it even more important that he compensates by catering to us. His biggest hindrance to deliver on that is his self-confidence. It's stopping him from letting his guard down and being his charming and funny self. He can't afford to also not deliver on catering to fans, because he can't compensate on respect and appreciation. So he needs to give us exactly what we ask for and what the majority wants. Even if that entails wearing chinos and suspenders for a show. Suck it up.
We tolerate at lot that fans shouldn't need to tolerate for the sake of H and L's closet and relationship. If being a fan and dealing with stunts, fandom wars, being called a conspiracy theorist and your idol hanging out with horrible people is going to be worth it, then they both need to put on one hell of a show and give us albums of bangers after bangers. Or else it won't be worth it. The deal is off.

what i find interesting is all of those classic rock musicians who basically already have legendery status are much more supportive of Louis than those nowadays' indie musicians: I'm talking about that Gallagher situation or Green Day adding OOMS to the playlist and even tho I know it's not curated by Arctic Monkeys themselves but both Louis' singles appear on their spotify radio And then there is Sam Fender and Catfish and the bottleman
But the most interesting part is all of those legendary musicians had something real punk to them: Gallaghers against the americanisation of the world, Green Day rocked with American Idiot and Arctic Monkeys doing anything against the music industry rules while doing anti capitalism thing
What do Sam or that little indie band have? Sam is this kind of a person to say 'fuck the rich' but what does he do to fuck them except for getting cash back for his social/political lyrics because I've never seen him using his platform properly (and I say that as a fan of his music), same goes for Catfish and the bottleman
But you know what really punk is? The oldest exmember of a boysband finding his identity after writing some of the best delling pop music, getting organic growth, having sold out tour and a guiness record to his name despite all the blacklisting and disrespect from both mainstream and 'indie' media
And.
Getting back to his roots. Supporting his home town. Encouraging his fans to support the most vulnerable people and hungry children. Condemning greed and excess. Giving to charity himself. Setting a world record for livestream sales and donating all the proceeds. Showing his displeasure with the British class system and the institution of monarchy— not once, but over and over.
Punk is sharing a tour bus with all the band members, traveling together with them for seven months, highlighting them in his concerts, partying with them afterward, taking them on outings, paying for first class hotels and private planes.
Punk is including your make up artist, your photographer, your stylist, and your security guards like they’re your family. Going to events that are milestones for them, like their weddings, as a friend of the family and not a celebrity. Punk is hyping up other musicians that are breaking into music, not asking other famous celebs to plug your music. Punk is sharing tattoos with your crew to make a memory. Punk is getting into the barricade to let fans know that you are human, you are on their level.
Punk is street fashion, the avant-garde, the graffiti inspos, the fashion intellectuals, celebrating international talent, the homage to punk history.
Punk is understanding that principles matter even if you become the establishment, that chasing money and fame should always, in some way, feel uncomfortable.

It’s true that a lot of Larry-type thinking is about people (for whatever reason) not wanting Harry and Louis to have their own romantic lives, but it’s so much darker than that. They don’t want them to have any life that they don’t know about. Everything is up for investigation: their love lives, their random shags, who they party with, who they stand next to at a party (immediately those people become ‘friends’ - come on), their families, their friends, their families’ friends, their friends’ families, their music business dealings, their other business dealings, their promotional strategies, their homes, their gym, where they walk to and why. It’s exhausting.
And when the information isn’t forthcoming - which for the most part it isn’t because either that’s their private lives, or it’s business sensitive, or it’s nothing at all of significance, then they just lie lie lie and draw conclusions about things they have no understanding of. They don’t accept, or perhaps they can’t imagine, that they have absolutely no control over any of this, and they only see about 1% of Harry and Louis’ lives, most of which is not explained to them. So they bake things into the ‘canon’ and decide for these adult men that certain things were motivated by certain needs: not a shred of evidence or even fact but now they can spread those things as ‘reality’.
And what is it for? Some of them were maybe discovering they’re queer at that young age when romance seems very important - young teens - and they were sold a really potent story of forbidden love. I get it, but they have got to grow out of it!
Some of them are older women fetishising gay sex between young men (but let’s not forget Harry was a boy at the beginning of 1D; this is not some easy fantasy, it’s bloody dark). Those older women seem to want to shepherd the younger ones in some way, which is fucking creepy.
All of them seem to be really invested in fan fiction, like to a worrying degree. I wish they’d funnel that creativity in a way that didn’t perpetuate these fantasies for others.
Some of them just hate beautiful women, I think. I come from the UK and for me, the idea of shagging around a bit in your late teens/early twenties/late twenties is just kind of fine, some people do it and others don’t. I can see that if you come from a country where that’s a no, or a deeply conservative family in the US, say, then drivelling on about ‘stunts’ might make some warped sense. It’s phenomenally misogynistic, but they don’t seem to ever be able to analyse that for themselves. (I always think of Letdown nasty mod as one of these.)
But you know what’s saddest of all? That Harry and Louis are not even close to being special, throughout all this. Chris Evans fans are the same. Benedict Cumberbatch fans are the same. Outlander fans are the same. Supernatural. Name almost any male actor/tv series that appeals to online fans and the loneliest, most online of those fans are quietly generating a shit ton of crap. It eventually somehow becomes so intrusive that the object of their disrespect has to either say something, or conspicuously do nothing to pander to it. Cue more meltdowns every time. Larries are just another sad little group, out of a whole load of sad people who visit this disrespect on people they claim to love, but don’t know at all and never will. None of it is original. And then they wonder why famous people put on a bit of a persona: it’s to keep people like them away from their real lives 😖
Thank you for this! I agree with every word.
Many Larries do seem alarmingly puritanical. They believe that when Louis accidentally got a woman he'd only known a few months pregnant it was some deadly sin, but their notion that Louis is employing a child to fake being his son (which is illegal under child labour laws) is somehow fine because 'that's what happens in the entertainment industry.'

Hi, I found your tumblr when one of your post (Louis thinking things for a long time and being sustainable for his career post) was in my dash, and I thought ‘oh hey, they look smart, would love to follow’.
However, you and I are in different part of the fandom. But what I’m trying to say here is that my part of the fandom, larrie yes, isn’t like the post you wrote. Yes, there are larries obsessed with the hearts and the colors, larries looking for the small things and larries asking for that song, and larries who support them in their solo caries and will support them if they’re together but that’s not the main reason we’re fans. And why am I telling you this? Because ‘all larries’ is the same it’s as me saying ‘all solo Louis are fucking rude, are always sending death threats and only like Louis because they’re horny’ Or if we start saying ‘solo Louis mass extinction because at least his fandom will be as nice as he is’ because thats why we’ve seen. But I’ve also seen how protective you’re. So yeah, just letting you know that in some of our skulls, these things are inside.
Anyways, I really hope you have a good day! And if you really read this, well, it is what it is <3
It’s the same way that people will group harries together and say they’re all toxic we know they’re not all toxic but it’s nearly always a Harrie right?
I know not all of you are actually obsessed but so many of larries lack SO many boundaries and constantly prove they don’t think when it comes to Louis and his career and will happily throw him under the bus for Harry. Like you have just come onto my page to defend larries (yourself included) but haven’t even paid full attention to what my post was truly saying which is how disrespectful using an unreleased song is and even worse an AÍ cover of the song when radio doesn’t even respect the music he’s actually released!
Anyway,
Have a nice day ☺️

Is Capital still blacklisting Louis? As long as that's the case, what's the point of a promo campaign without performances? He's not a big enough celebrity that anyone outside fans wants to watch his interviews. And if you listen to them - they're just not going to entice anyone in. Fans, fans, fans. That's pretty boyband-y. And all these years giving interviews yet he's never really prepared an anecdote?? That's pretty basic for chat shows. How does he think SJ is going a good job??? And it's not just the English ones where the F mentions are tossed around - there was that Dutch one and the Italian one. Was SJ involved in those? I don't actually believe that the Dutch interviewer would have asked so much about the kid if he wasn't invited to. Like when we found out the radio stations in 2016 were encouraged to ask personal questions and we got stories about explosive diarrhea diaper changing and so on.
I still wonder at him not performing at BBC The One Show. From Manchester Evening News: The One Show viewers were left slightly baffled as Louis Tomlinson made a very laid back appearance on the programme. Though the interview was fine? Then again, why not couple it with a performance as with Walls. Were there any performances booked for UK? What a fucking time for the Queen to die :|
As far as I have seen Capital is not playing Louis—though they will write ten tabloid articles about him a month. TodayFM from Ireland didn’t play his song in full either—there is blacklisting and there is also probably years of learned… disrespect? But where was BMG?
It seemed a given that while Louis might no longer be under Sony, Sony would continue to have power over him. I never expected BMG to be able to work miracles, but considering years of artistic erasure to overcome and the time they had to prepare, I did hope for a re-launch to mean more and better promo than in the past. For the likes of NME and Official Charts features, and fun content like LADBible, to be the baseline, not the highest point of it. But it all seems, in essence, more or less the same. It’s good to see BTM's getting played on radio in US, but you still need positive associations and to maintain interest—let’s see what’s in store there.
I think Louis is very engaging in interviews, actually, thoughtful and articulate, showing his intelligence and his passion for music. And he gives good answers to any sort of question, like: “I wish it was less cliche, but I’ve always wanted to skydive. I planned to do it this year, but it didn't work out, for one reason or another. But that’s definitely on my bucket list. I suppose it’s like general advice, just good to be out of your comfort zone with things like that [and] that’s like the epitome of that idea.” But he needs to be given the chance with new and interesting talking points too. It’s so frustrating because he has so much to talk about. And he's funny as well, so he would do well with more fun content too.
I believe Louis genuinely cares about his fans, and even if it were advisable—and I don’t think it is—he wouldn’t turn his back on his loyal fanbase for anything. While in some aspects his fanbase as a whole will always be a double edged sword, arguably, maintaining ‘boy band’ levels of fan dedication and intensity all on his own could also be shown as a positive. Mainly I do worry about the sense of indebtedness Louis might have with fans, how much he feels the need to include and highlight us.
I do not believe anyone can think SJPR does a good job—the headline from The Sun when Louis released his MY mv was about how he ‘dances on tables and drinks’ a year from his mother’s death. Whatever you think about his sexuality or closet, the way his personal losses have been tabloid fodder for years should make every single fan hate SJPR. [But yes, it’s not like it's ever been limited to the UK.]
It’s been a week since release, and whatever you believe about his personal life, I would think comparing to previous promo, BMG has been… at least underwhelming. There have always been some good interviews and fun content, but it should all be good, and every opportunity and momentum maximized—bit weird to have his IG inactive a whole week after release and end of tour? Everything should be contributing toward the same goal: making Louis known as a credible [solo] artist—the last thing Louis needs is to be tied to 1D and to update people on his personal life; that has literally been one of the issues he’s faced ever since 1D [that powerpoint that had him defined by his ‘model girlfriend’]—creating interest and opportunities for his music to be heard. And it doesn’t feel like it.

I think if Louis was uncomfortable in La Resistencia is because either his spanish team didnt warn him how the show goes or they warned him way too much. I see this show every week and the host went super soft on Louis lol like you cant imagine what he asks professional football players or politicians that go. The host doesnt prepare on purpose and he only has like 3 points of promo for each guest which he did touch with Louis: single, album, tour. The dates and websites were promoted on screen while Louis talked. Louis seemed guarded but he did laugh a lot too when he started seeing how the show goes.
Hi anon
It’s funny how Spanish speakers get so defensive over people pointing out he wasn’t as relaxed as he has been in interviews. Don’t get me wrong - I don’t think this is one single person’s fault, it’s just an observation of mine that I think a lot of things came together that evening.
I’m sure that the programme usually is really funny and the host did not seem like someone who wants to make people feel uncomfortable.
But it IS a fact that it’s always weird and stressful if there’s something being said clearly about you in a language you don’t understand and everyone laughs and you’re not in on it, and I think the interviewer did a good job of trying to translate everything, but that just automatically puts you on guard.
Add to that that Louis has been travelling and doing promo a lot, got up really early that day, and then the absolute mess of him arriving (and no, this was absolutely not okay and a failure from many sides. No barricades, not enough guards, no preparation, and the “fans” being super disrespectful- did you see how he reacted to the person grabbing his face?? It’s simply not the same situation as Louis on barricade during KMM, period. He looked like he was about to pass out at some point, pulled and pushed almost like a rag doll to try and get him through there safely. Like I get it, you’re passionate about seeing him - we all are - but he’s still fucking human and no, it’s NOT OKAY. You saw his reaction. He gave a fucking death glare and even commented on it.)
So all that combined it doesn’t surprise me his body language showed how on guard he was, sitting very still, and listening intently, trying to connect to that music dude and of course he laughed and wasn’t an asshole about it because he’s a really good sport, a professional and in a good place over all at the same time. Doesn’t make it any less awkward.
At the end of the day, it’s to be expected that not all interviews go exceptionally well, but what I find absolutely ridiculous is that as soon as I express my opinion and how I see him, read his body language and point out what I think went wrong, I get actual “kys” and “seek psychiatric help” from people with misplaced blind patriotism who feel hurt in their national pride like ?? Get a fucking grip. He had an interview in my country and I also posted my criticism there. It’s possible.
And the whole “it’s a cultural difference” thing just makes me shake my head, because that’s not an excuse to treat someone like they’re not an actual person, and doesn’t make it right either

I’m stuck in the same boat with you on not knowing which is worse of aggressive byler stans or Larry Stan’s. Like Larry Stan’s (ignore autocorrect you get what I’m saying lol) actively affected Harry and Louis’ friendship and they showed how they didn’t like it at all. Also it was real people that were being aggressively shipped. Which yuck and yikes. But on byler’s side it’s legit adults paying way too much attention to a minor’s relationship. While it is fictional it’s still disgusting. also these people have a higher than thou viewing of this ship. They’re literally saying that it would be revolutionary as if other lgbtq shows/representation doesn’t exist. I pointed it out that people shouldn’t be treating it as revolutionary and people were still like ‘you’re underplaying the amount of impact that this would have.’ I legit pointed out how we have Robin and how she’s overlooked for byler but people were like ‘but you can have more plot lines of lgbtq community,’ and mind you I legit said that I respect and understand the appeal of byler. It’s great that there’s representation but why does it always boil down to ships for the representation/coming out scene to mean something? Also aggressive byler people act as if byler is the only thing we should be talking about. And act as if Will only has a relationship with Mike instead of having platonic/familial relationships with his other friends. Like it just boils down to Will’s feeling with mike and turning that into an obsession for Will at least from what I’ve seen. Like sometimes with the way these aggressive people talk it’s like will’s friendship with Lucas and max and Dustin doesn’t even exist. I ranted but I’m just so tired of both of these people
im literally so tired of both things that’s why i have just said fuck you to both types of people and started blocking 🤍 idk what it is about some older byler shippers not letting it go but it annoys me to no end and also. it’s really disrespectful to dismiss robin because she isn’t what they specifically want to see (which again, weird that some of them are yearning so fucking hard for two teenage boys half their age to be together romantically) will is still gay and that’s what matters 🫶🌈 peace and luv

I have this thing I call 'the dead zone' where all my past relationships go to die.
Protected by a pin and under the unique title of 'Secure Folder', it's startlingly easy not to open.
the pictures of the first time I drove to New Mexico, words of love left unsaid until a pitch-black trip in the middle of a desert was suddenly scarier than the declaration.
I asked you to take a picture of me on the ad-hoc hike, and you obliged,
and then I took a picture of us, of you
your smile, happiness (hopefully, sincerely wantingly), evident
condemned to live in forever unopened virtual manilla.
the time I went to St. Louis and we had the most amazing vegan platter,
a place which I had been before but was trying to share
we went to a national monument I had never heard of but was fascinated by
not due to the monument itself, but how fascinated you were by it
the joy and once more happiness there:
moved to a folder unofficially titled 'DO NOT OPEN'
brief pictures from college,
dead.
the picture from shared drinks on shared days of worth,
dead.
anything where I could see the sight of the hands which once held mine,
dead as a fucking doornail.
and I stare out into cornfields, wondering how many parts of myself I have condemned to the dead folder unwittingly in order to protect my heart, but I still stupidly keep holding out hope on the written word.
I'm on the fourth interation of sending things to the grave and it gets easier and harder because I've never once gone back.
I question why I keep the digital mementos that only hold pure memories of you, the disrespectful ideal of unearthing what you once had thought exactly like it was made of earth and wood. the pixels that makeup what I once considered the most attractive face nothing but now, or maybe not now but hopefully soon, nostalgic, bittersweet reminder of what i used to have.
[you, if that wasn't fucking obvious]
you, as in you with the regimented hair routine and same degree, who I dated and ended things in college
you, as in you with the glasses and a physics degree and a love of dry heat.
you, the pieces of what never was but exclaimed with joy 'possums can't get rabies!'
and you, the most recent burial ground, who didn't think I was good enough to risk it for.
the last instance isn't filled with good memories
or it is in the contradictory way humans are
it was and it will be, but it currently isn't
as the wounds are still too fresh
and my mind oscillates back and forth between hurt and pain and acceptance and morality and morbidity
as I wait for the day
you are just another line of numbers, a remnant of what once was and could be, in a 2D image of death.

Everytime stuff like yesterday happend it seems like larries want to excuse their behavior by blaming everything on Louis, like “you did this and this so it’s not our fault that we believe in Larry and make a big thing out of it”. It’s their fault, too. Fans are as responsible for their actions and harmful behavior and harassment as Louis is for the things he has done that I don’t wanna repeat now but it’s too much to defend him. //
This comes back to the point that it's a toxic relationship because it goes both ways. It's absolutely so so so unfair larries get blamed for everything. Like for one second if you look at louis' behavior, you can't be so mean to us because we're going off of what he's doing.
And yes fans absolutely cross boundaries sometimes, most times even. But like I said, Louis creates very poor boundaries. Trying to appeal to all sides makes it seem like each side of the fandom has something to prove.
Larries: oh he pointed at Larry signs. Larry is real!
Antis: well he also pointed at a Freddie sign so boo fucking hoo
-----
It's the boundaries he's set. We all follow Louis. Yes we have to take responsibility for some of the very disrespectful things we do but at the same time, I'm literally going crazy because Louis gives me such whiplash.
Very poor boundaries. That’s how I feel, too.

Seeing larries kissing Louis' ass in his new post honestly just grosses me out. Do y'all not have any self-respect? Why are so many larries fine with being his punching bag, his scapegoat, being gaslit and manipulated, and having him add fuel to the larrie hate train? I love him too. But at some point, he has to realize this shit isn't okay. It's not okay to speak to your fans this way and disrespect them. To single one fan out. And to do it so publicly where the media can pick it up, where the solo louies & harries, antis, and gf stans can use it as ammunition against us. I can't even go on the pop culture subreddits I like bc of how badly the hate is against us. Not only was this a stupid fucking move before trying to sell tickets in LatAm but why in the world would you treat the fans who have stuck by you since the beginning this way? We've seen through the bullshit in both 1D and his solo career. We've seen through the false image that was painted of him, although now he seems more than happy to play along. We've tried to be there for both him (and H) because THEY made it very clear for YEARS that they were together, closeted, and fighting back. Look, I get it some larries are doing way too much with their theories esp the ones that think Louis, Harry, and T*ylor are all gay beasties who are going to bring down the industry together. But they started this shit. They encouraged fans to look deeper. They came up with the name Larry Stylinson, not us. They got the corresponding tattoos and made it very obvious, not us. Louis got the dagger. They did rbb and sbb, which really caused fans to start theorizing. Louis did the Spotify canvases that connected back to H and Larry. Louis did the promo (was it for Walls?) where we had to find the different locations, and they almost always had a Larry reference nearby (I know I didn't explain that example well). Louis specifically puts H and Larry references in his music that he knows we know about. He's the one that put out the Just Like You music video. He's the one that put Style on the wall of the Miss You video. They're the ones that continuously use blue and green lights. Louis specifically interacts with Larries and Larry related signs and flags at his show. I mean, the list goes on and on. So, if you want people to chill out on Larry, how about you stop feeding it? Because this whole back and forth is exhausting and mentally draining. I'm really fucking tired of being made the joke of this fandom by Louis when we've done nothing but see him for who he really is and love him for that. And now the harassment and death threats have skyrocketed from solos, hets, gf stans, stans of other fandoms, and people into pop culture. I'm tired of seeing mental health being used as an insult against us as well because Louis and Harry not only started this, they encouraged this behavior from larries for YEARS. And then you have people who used to be around them (from xf times) Rebecca and mainly Katie talking about how truly horrible XF, Syco, and Modest were. How truly manipulative. How horribly they treated everyone, esp the boys. I mean, she's even talked about how the boys still have some of the same people around them since the early days. I know she went after larries one time (maybe more bc I stopped listening to her after that), but she made sure to talk about them and basically say without saying that a lot of our theories about xf, management, and syco weren't far off. Others around them have played into Larry. So, why doesn't he tell them to stop. Like, stop going after fans for something you created and encouraged for years. Just ignore it until you're ready to come out, if that ever happens.
I do have a question. I know stunts suck and Harry has been stunting a lot. I know H*livia was extremely upsetting. But why do larries seem to get more people upset at Harry for doing a pap walk with T*ylor, or even the ones he did with OW where he was obviously miserable, then they do with Louis outright shitting on us - multiple times? I'd much rather see Louis have to do a pap walk or two with some girl than throw fans under the bus, you know what I mean? Because while stunting sucks, it's playing the Hollywood game and something they probably are required to do to uphold the het image. Choosing to shit on fans shouldn't even be on the table if we mean as much to you as you say.
Sorry for the rant and rambling. I'm just really hurt and have so many feelings and probably didn't express everything properly. I don't recognize this "Louis," and it's really put me off. I thought we were a team, and now I just feel completely unwanted by him.
Let it out, anon 🧡
I know this hurts, especially for those of you who haven't experienced this before. We shouldn't have to deal with this. I think most people are able to ignore it and move past it because they know he's closeted and why he's doing it. They know that Louis doesn't love them any less, despite what his public twitter account might suggest. We know he's got little agency and we know he's being made to do things against his will. We see past his image and actions.
I would prefer him stunting over lashing out against his fans too. Maybe that's not an option or maybe he didn’t have a choice. Either way it isn't okay. It wasn't okay in 2012 and it isn't okay now. The only thing we can do is stop supporting him and giving him our money. Some love him and want him to succeed, and fight with him against the chains holding him back. He won't be able to do that without larries. So they keep supporting him and live in hope that things will change for the better someday. It's up to you to decide what your limits are and what you can and can't support.

maybe something like interviewer asking her sexist questions and the boys stand up for her , after that interview she feels insecure and the boys comfort her . that's just an idea you don't have to write it !! <33
I hope you like it, and I'm so sorry about the delay 😭 I couldn't find my footing with this one, and I hope it's what you wanted ! Have a lovely day 💙
The One Where They're There For Her
Tumblr media
Pairing - One Direction x Reader (6thmember!female!reader)
Fandom - One Direction (Directioners)
Summary - A particularly sexist interview decides to reduce you to just a sexual being and makes no effort to hide his misogyny. But the boys are there to support you.
Warnings - sexualization of the lgbt community, sexist comments, swearing, (honestly I hated myself for writing some of the comments here,and I'm so sorry)
Being a part of the biggest band in the world comes with certain responsibilities. Not responsibilities that come along with signing a recording contract, but those that a person deems themselves responsible for. For example, as the only female in a boyband, a female with a fanbase as large as yours, you took it upon yourself to always stand up for what's right, and to be an ally for the causes close to your heart.
That meant that your social media was often flooded with information about important causes, or your opinions on issues like feminism. Was it always well received? Heck no. There were people filled your feed with hate and comments calling you the most horrible names and labelling you a 'man hater' and a 'bitch' But you didn't let it get to you. On most days. On days like today, it was all you could do to keep it together. It had been a tiring few days, touring, recording, performing and doing an endless amount of interviews and photoshoots. It was safe to say you were on the last of your nerves, having battled your way through a makeup artist who had insisted on pointing out your flaws and had used a shit ton of makeup to cover them up. You had battled a photographer who had not hesitated to tell you that if you didn't look more feminine people would think you were turning into a man.
Before you could retaliate, Paul had dragged him away and told management to cancel the photoshoot, and find another photographer before grabbing the six of you some sandwiches and had let you all go back for a quick power nap at the hotel. Then in about half an hour he had woken you up, to get you ready for another interview. That's how you were here, in a white jumpsuit and a black blazer jacket, paired with black heels. Another day, another interviewer that got on your nerves. But this one, this one was different. This interviewer was different, but also the same. Another misogynistic man who thought he was entitled to stare at your ass and cleavage, and eye fuck you as you settled into a seat in between Niall and Zayn.
Settling in, you crossed one knee over the other, plastering a fake smile onto your face, as the man leaned back in his chair, throwing you a sleazy smirk. Noticing the look, Zayn shifted so you were out of view of the interviewer, but in view of the audience. It was in moments like this that you were a 100× more grateful to have your boys. They were well aware of how sleazy some interviewers could be, having had plenty of experience with them, and Zayn and Louis in particular were very protective about the way you were treated. Squeezing your thigh softly, he leaned back a little, lips settling into a thin line as he looked at the interviewer with a cold look. A little behind, Louis threw the interviewer a dirty look.
"So, One Direction! Congratulations on the album, as you all know its out on November the 22nd, with eighteen new songs, including the singles Night Changes and Steal My Girl Speaking of stealing girls, do you think I could steal your number Y/N? And may I mention, you look ver, very hot in that outfit" The interviewer joked, throwing you what he thought was a sexy smirk. (P.S - it wasn't) Answering with an awkward laugh, you shook your head, as Niall tensed up beside you. "Aww come on, your'e a pretty girl, I'm a handsome guy, let's go out sometime" he pressed on, ignoring the growing anger in Harry's eyes. "That's umm, nice. But no thanks, I'm not going to go out with you" was your answer, as you pushed a strand of hair behind your ear. Picking up on your nervous tic, Zayn moved his hand to rest on your knee, stopping it from bouncing up and down.
"Aww come on baby, what is it? You like girls or something? Because I wouldn't mind being a part of that action either" the sleazebag chuckled, ignoring the disgusted look Liam sent his way. "That's rude" Liam said, while Zayn tightened his grip on your knee. "Oh come on lads, are you telling me the idea doesn't appeal to you? Two women together, mm, makes me all excited just thinking about it, especially if one of them's Y/N" That comment was all it took for Louis to stand up, turning to the man and saying in a voice much rougher than his usual voice, "Alright, that's fuckin' enough, what the fuck is actually wrong with you?" he was backed up by Liam, who stood up, going to tower over the interviewer, whose eyes had lost some of the sleazy look in them. "All you've done since we walked in here is make those disgusting comments about Y/N, and it's sickening. Have some fucking respect" he practically spat.
Behind him, Zayn took your hand in his and pulled you to your feet, noticing the slight glossiness in them, leading you back to the dressing rooms, while Niall, Liam, Louis and Harry stayed back to continue to snap at the interviewer. "That is no way to treat a woman, and not only are you disrespecting her, you also made those god awful events about seeing women together. Your'e a shame to every single person in this room by talking like that" Harry continued, glancing over his shoulder to check if you were okay.
"And no, it doesn't excite us, because we are not assholes, and you are, a disgusting sleaze who does not deserve the job he has. Fuckin loser" Niall chimed in, standing up and storming out. Louis stood up as well, turning to directly face the cameras and the cameramen and sound technicians, who had all looked shocked when the man had made his comments towards you. "I sure as hell hope you have that on record, so you can see just how fucking sexist this industry is to women. Y/N does the same job as us, works just as hard and has the same number of awards, nominations, and records and yet you decide to only focus on her body, clothes, love life and sexuality. Get a fucking life" he spat at the camera, before walking away himself, eventually followed by Harry and Liam, who apologized to the outraged fans before leaving themselves. As they made their way to the dressing rooms they could hear the audience telling the interviewer to apologize to you, their anger at the way you were treated echoing through the building.
Walking in, Harry caught sigh of you curled up in one of the armchairs, with Louis sitting beside you, while Niall and Zayn talked to a furious Paul. "He had no damn right to treat her like shite, and you need to make sure that he knows those comments were un-fuckin-acceptable" Niall was saying, looking angrier than Harry had ever seen him. "And to make those sickening comments about wanting to get action? Can't we sue him for something?" Was Zayn's reply, glancing over his shoulder at you to make sure you were still okay. "We can't sue him, atleast I don't think we can, but I'll have someone let the smug bastard know that he needs to learn how to respect a woman" Paul said, before leaving the room to give the six of you some time together before you had to head back to the hotel.
"How're you feeling darling?" Louis said, moving over and patting your knee so you moved. "I'm okay" you mumbled back, letting Louis settle in next to you, leaning back to rest on his chest. "He had no fuckin right to say any of that, and don't you let it trouble you for a second" Zayn added, pouring out a cup of tea for you and for Louis and Harry. "I don't care about what he said, I couldn't care less, but it was just so frustrating, sitting there and listening to him just sexualize a whole community of people. You've got to be in a really sad place to think of shit like that. That's what annoyed me. You think I give a damn about what he said about my clothes or wanting to take me out on a date? It was the way he was talking, like he was sure any woman would be glad to have him that irked me. He's really tiresome" was your reply, as you reached forward for a sip of your tea. "That's the right attitude love. Haters gonna hate" Harry said.
"I know that. But I just wish I could punch him once, which sounds mean, but he does kind of deserve it" Niall said, earning a laugh from you. Niall was never usually aggressive, and even now, he wasn't particularly rude but it was rare to see him wanting to punch someone. "It's okay Niall, you don't have to. I can do it myself, but I won't" you replied, leaning up to squeeze his hand. "Besides, Ni, if you went and punched him, I'd do it too, and then we'd all go to jail" Liam chimed in, scrolling through his twitter. "Twitter isn't happy either babe. #stopsexualization and #Y/Ndeservesbetter is trending already" he added, showing you his phone. "If it means some of these sexist asses get their heads out of the sand, I'm happy. But I dont want to to think about it now" you replied, cuddling closer to the warmth radiating from Louis's body.
"Okay, we won't talk about it. Do you want to go back to the hotel?" Harry asked, standing up and walking to the door "No I want to go to Nando's. Anybody else hungry?" You asked, to nods of assent from the boys. "I'm starving. Those stupid sandwiches didn't fill me up at all" Zayn said, standing up to grab his coat and wallet. "I know and I'm craving some hot Peri Peri chicken with some fries. Do you think they'd let me put the lemon and herb sauce on the fries?" You asked, standing up yourself, earning a laugh from Louis. "Your'e an international superstar babe, I think they'd give you some lemon herb sauce" Liam joked.
Laughing, the six of you made your way to the car, with Harry and Niall squishing you in between them, as Louis sat in the back with Liam, and Zayn sat in the front with Paul (he was driving thank GOD) "I'm proud of you darling" Harry chimed in suddenly. "I am too" Niall added. "You know I am" Louis said, before Liam added "Always babe" and Zayn turned to smile at you before adding, "We are all proud of you, and we always will be, not only because you do a damn good job of not listening to the haters, but because you do what you think is right" "Awh come on, your'e gonna make me cry" you mumbled, leaning into Niall's shoulder. "Almost makes me feel bad for teasing you about having an extremely low spice tolerance the last time we were at Nando's Haz" you smirked, earning a roar of laughter from the boys.
"That chicken was spicy love!" "It was lemon and herb with no peri peri!" "And it was spicy!"
And just like that, you were back to messing around with each other. Sleazy interviewers would come and go, but your boys were always there to support you. Always.
-------
A/N - Thanks for reading ! I'd also like to apologize on the behalf of this fictitious interviewer I made up, I felt so bad while writing some of this 😭 anyways, I hope this is what you wanted! Enjoy !

There’s something to be said about how larries on twitter are celebrating Louis’s supposed pointing of that picture that weird fan brought to louies concert. These were the same people crying and acting like victims because that other weird fan brought the anti larrie poster. It’s like these people can’t for the kids of them celebrate louis in his entirety. You have these people going and watching his concert for the sake of him “larrying” and giving them “signals”. He didn’t point at the picture but that’s a different conversation. I’m so sick of all his concerts being turned into a discussion s fight every night. Larries treat him in his concerts in ways they would never treat Harry.
I’m so so so tired of it as well. It’s upsetting because the last few weeks have been so amazing as a Louis fan to see how happy and incredible he is on stage, and the fans have been honestly ruining it for me (and for him). You never, ever see fans treating Harry with the same level of disrespect that you see them treating Louis with. I will never understand how you can attend a Louis show on his first ever tour and bring signs about somebody else - whether that’s Harry, Larries, Eleanor, or whatever. It is all exactly the same and anyone trying to claim moral superiority because they’re Larries doing it are still equally as wrong and equally as disrespectful to Louis. People try to convince themselves that their behavior is fine and encouraged by claiming that Louis has pointed them out, but even if that was true, it doesn’t make it right.
He is a human being and an individual artist. He is more than who he is connected to or in a relationship with. He can and should be able to stand on his own and be celebrated individually at his own fucking concert. It’s ridiculous that this needs to even be said.

Little Sister
Harry Styles x Tomlinson! Reader
Word Count: 3.3k
Warnings: swearing, playful mentions of Larry
Masterlist
A/N: Heylo! I hope you enjoy this! I’ve been working on this for about a month now, never being able to finish it, but I decided to sit down and finish it tonight instead of wallowing in self-pity! The Larry mention at the end is meant to be funny and playful, not something to take seriously! Thank you and have a nice day! ❤️💕🥰
When your brother went to audition for the X-Factor in 2010, you expected him to come home after, maybe with a signed record deal, maybe not, but home nonetheless.
Instead, he was put into a boy band with four other boys, and moved out. Your mother was proud, of course as anyone would be, but that also meant her oldest child had left the nest.
That left you, now the oldest in the house, and your four younger sisters. Your mum was handling it the best she could, but with Mark out of the house constantly, it got stressful for her.
You didn’t like Mark that much, sure, he was nice, and he treated your mother alright, he just didn’t seem like a commitment kind of guy to you.
You were adopted shortly after your mum left Louis’s father. Mark was accepting of the fact that she already had two kids, but became a bit offended when she took your side in an argument instead of one of their kids.
You loved all your siblings equally, well, Louis a bit more than the other girls, but you still loved them no matter how their father acted.
When Louis left, you were left to help your mother with the other girls, Mark not being much help. You were often left to help them get ready for school, get ready for bed, and you even had to run errands for your mother.
Since you were only 16, and hadn’t gotten a driver’s license, you had to walk almost everywhere, but you didn’t mind, not when you were helping your mother.
Having a brother who had recently become a famous member of a boy band, also meant you had to watch all the girls at your school drool over him. This also meant that a lot more people were trying to be friendly to you.
Most of the girls at your school loved Louis, probably because they thought they had the best chance with him, not that they had any chance.
However, you preferred Harry. You always had a soft spot for sweet boys with curly hair, but this time felt different. It probably was just a silly little crush, you’d obsess for a few weeks and then get over it.
You were so, so wrong.
You watched your brother and his mates smash their way through the charts for the next two years, becoming the best boy band of the generation.
The whole family was immensely proud of him, even Mark. You were particularly proud of Harry, though the rest of your family didn’t really care.
The small crush hadn’t faded, instead it had grown in the past two years, each time you saw him on a photo your brother sent, or on TV, you flushed and your heart started racing.
He was just perfect. Perfect hair, perfect eyes, perfect dimples, perfect smile, perfect lips, perfect everything.
It honestly kind of upset you sometimes.
There you were, the sister of one of his best mates, same age as him too, and yet you had never met him.
That all changed when the band went to Madison Square Garden at the end of the year.
Since you were eighteen and finished with college, you were allowed to go with your mother to go see Louis perform.
As you and your mother approached the stadium, you felt a wave of awe wash over you. Your brother’s face was on the fucking front of Madison Square Garden. He was getting paid to be here.
Where the fuck did you go wrong?
The driver that Louis had hired pulled up in the front, allowing you both to get out along with Liam’s mum, Karen, who was a lovely lady.
You all climbed out of the car onto the busy New York City street, people busling past your trio to file into the large arena.
Your mother grabbed your hand and Karen’s as well, pulling you both into line.
Meanwhile, the boys were sitting in front of the camera, discussing their feelings about the upcoming show. Zayn and Liam were currently in the dressing room, and Niall was finishing his dinner, so Louis and Harry were left to be interviewed.
“You know, this is a big show for us, obviously,” Harry said, trying not to be gesticulative as he spoke, nerves buzzing through his body.
“Yeah, of course it’s big cos it’s MSG, but this is also the only one that all of us have at least one family member in the audience. Liam, Niall, and Zayn have their mums, Harry has his mum and stepdad, and my mum and sister are coming, which is of course rattling, you want them to be proud of you,” Louis said, leaning back on the couch.
Harry paused for a moment, “Wait, which sister?”
“Y/N, she’s finished with school, so mum let her come down, she’s ecstatic,” Louis smiled and Harry nodded, trying to keep a straight face for the camera.
He had never met you, he’s only heard stories from Louis, and seen pictures that his mum always sent him of all the girls.
He thought you were adorable, who wouldn’t? He wouldn’t call it a crush, he hadn’t even met you. However, there was definitely something about you that drew him near you.
Once you had gotten inside, Karen insisted on going to buy something. The concert was starting in a few minutes, so there weren’t many people at the tables, most already in their seats.
She was beaming, looking at all of the stuff with her son’s face on it, your mother bearing a similar smile. Karen spotted the cardboard cutouts of the boys. And her eyes lit up.
She rushed to buy one, your mother chuckling, but you could tell she was contemplating on buying one herself.
The pair began to walk away, the camera crew following them, but you stayed behind, stepping up to the cashier.
Your mother must’ve noticed you weren’t there, as seconds later she was at your side, rubbing your arm lightly.
“Whatcha buying?” She asked, humming as she moved her hand to your upper back.
You felt yourself flush as you ordered the Harry cutout. Your mother was laughing her arse off, clutching her stomach as she doubled over.
You felt embarrassed, but understood her reaction. Karen turned around to see the commotion and saw the cashier handing you the Harry cutout. She gave a light chuckle and waved you both over.
Your mother pretended to wipe a tear from her cheek, smirking at you, “Aw, my baby’s in love!” She teased and you bit your lip.
“Shut up,” you mumbled weakly.
The camera crew saw the interaction, getting the whole thing on tape. As you passed the camera, you gave it a small, awkward smile, stuffing the Harry under your arm.
The show was amazing, you didn’t expect any less.
The boys were energetic, entertaining the audience as they jumped and ran around the stage, clearly enjoying themselves.
You were placed in the front, along with the other mothers and Robin, Harry’s step-father. During Louis’ solos, you and your mother would cheer the loudest, the others doing the same for their respective child.
Each boy came to wave to all of you, grinning as they sang. Louis just made a funny face at you and your mother, almost missing his cue.
The other boys did similar things, running to wave while they were singing, but Harry hadn’t come over yet, something that was clearly disturbing Anne.
During a brief break in between songs, Harry came to sit on the edge of the stage in front of all of you. The fans surrounding you all were screaming, some laughing when he gave a bashful wave.
He brought the microphone to his mouth, interrupting Liam’s monologue.
“That’s my mummy!” He pointed to Anne, making her giggle as he bounced up and down where he sat. “Hi mummy!” He yelled, giving an over enthusiastic wave, the audience loving every second.
A grin spread across your face, watching the interaction warmed your heart. Anne was loving it, she blew Harry a kiss, and he caught it, pressing it to kiss cheek.
“I love you mum,” he said, seriously. The audience and all the boys on stage letting out a sweet ‘aw’.
“I love you, Hazza!” Anne tried to yell above the audience, her voice being drowned out, but Harry understood her perfectly.
He turned his attention to the rest of you, “Hi everyone!” He waved again, his grin still just as wide. His eyes scanned over each of you, and his met yours. “Y/N? You’re Lou’s sister, right?” He asked and you nodded, trying to ignore your mum poking your arm. “Damn!” He yelled and you felt yourself gaping, Louis standing up quickly.
“Excuse me?” He asked, in mock offense.
Harry realized his mistake, “No, no, no! That came out wrong,” he turned to you, “I didn’t mean any disrespect, I just mean that I imagined you being like,” he held up his hand a few feet off the ground, “this tall based on how Lou described you, and that is certainly not the case,” he affirmed and Louis playfully rolled his eyes.
“Sure,” he dragged it out, “I’m sure that’s what you meant,” he joked, and Harry stood, brushing off his bum.
“Anyways! On with the show!”
A few months later, the boys sat huddled around a table in the film director’s conference room.
The film was finally completed, and the boys were invited to watch it and suggest changes. The boys were a bit into the film now, mostly taking the piss out of it and teasing each other.
Then came the footage from Madison Square Garden.
The boys stayed silent the whole time that the mothers were speaking, being quiet for the first time since the film started.
After showing the mothers’ thoughts on them performing at MSG, it cut to the interviews backstage. It was mostly just the boys’ preparation. Harry and Louis’ interview showed up, and the teasing started right up again.
“Louis, did you see the way his face lit up when you mentioned Y/N?” Liam said through laughter, Zayn and Niall laughing with him.
Harry was glaring at the boys, trying to avoid looking at Louis, a furious blush coating his cheeks. Louis was trying to hide his smile, looking at Harry out of the corner of his eye.
Truth was, he didn’t mind at all. Sure, it was a little weird, but he knew Harry, and Louis knew about your little crush on him, your mum had told him about it and had even sent pictures of the Harry cutout, now set up in your room. He would rather you date Harry than some random kid from Doncaster. You and Harry would work well together, he may even dare to say you were perfect for each other. There was only one problem; you hadn’t met.
The boys had finally calmed down and the rest of the film continued. While Liam and Niall were talking about the time they had to be smuggled through a bread van, Louis took his chance. He leaned over, catching Harry’s attention, “Don’t listen to them, if I’m being honest with you, I wouldn’t mind if you dated my sister,” he whispered, Harry immediately getting flustered.
“I, what? I don’t know what you’re talking about, you’re mad,” Harry mumbled and Louis chuckled, patting Harry’s knee.
“It’s alright lad, no need to explain yourself.”
The topic wasn’t brought up again until the movie came out.
Well, it technically hadn’t come out yet. Each boy was allowed to stream it at their home, they were sent digital copies. Louis had invited you over to watch it a week before it officially came out, and of course you had said yes.
You decided to spend the week with him, needing a break from managing the house with your mother. You had felt guilty, seeing as it was now her alone, Mark had left early on in your brother’s departure. Although, Dan, her new fiancé, was there to help out a bit.
You pulled up outside his apartment building, parking and grabbing your bag from the passenger’s seat. You made your way into the apartment, keeping your head down as you knocked on the door.
Louis opened it, throwing his arms open with a large grin on his face. You set your bag down, giggling as you wrapped your arms around him, squeezing him tightly.
“I missed you,” you mumbled into his chest.
“I missed you too,” he said, swaying with you in the doorway for a moment. He pulled away, a shit-eating grin on his face. “I hope you don’t mind, but I invited someone else over too!”
“I don’t mind,” you said, squinting at your brother, why was he being so cheeky about it?
“Great! Alright, come on in! Harry’s on the couch, and before we watch the film, we’re gonna watch interviews!” He ushered you inside, grabbing your bag.
You stopped once you had entered the house, turning back to Louis, “Hold, go back there for a second, did you say Harry’s here?” You asked, quickly panicking.
You were answered by a voice behind you, “Louis, is your guest…” Harry trailed off as you turned around. He gaped for a moment, clearing his throat quickly, “Oh, uhm, hi Y/N, Louis didn’t say you were coming,” his eyes left you to quickly glance at Louis.
“Hi,” you mumbled, biting the inside of your cheek.
It was quiet for a few moments, and Louis interjected, “Ready to watch the interviews?” He asked, not even waiting for an answer as he dragged both of you to the living room.
He sat down on the couch, pulling you and Harry on either side of him. “They sent me a weird version they made that has the interviews first, and the movie immediately after,” he leaned over and picked up a napkin he had set on the table.
On it were two times stamps, one that was pretty early on, and one that was presumably later in the film. He scrolled on the TV for a moment, getting the setting right and pressing start once the DVD was processed.
He began to fast forward through most of the interviews, you were a bit confused when he came to a stop in the middle of the interviews. You were about to say something, but he turned the volume all the way up, pressing play.
“If you had to set up your sister with one of the band, and you could trust them, who would it be?” The interviewer asked, leaning forwards as she spoke.
Liam and Zayn erupted, “None, none of them!” They both chided, clear looks of disgust on their face.
Louis sat contemplating for a moment, both Liam and Zayn looking at him with knowing smiles, “I have an ideal pair in mind, I’m not going to verify who, the lads already know who it is, my sister doesn’t, but I’ve got a plan,” he smirked, nodding enthusiastically.
The Louis next to you looked at his napkin again, fast forwarding it again, this time you were sat for a little bit longer, the tension in the room growing thicker. Both you and Harry had a feeling that he was talking about you guys, but neither of you dared say anything.
He unpaused it again, this time it was the actual film, iit showed you and your mum, along with Karen, it was the MSG footage.
You began panicking, trying to grab the remote from Louis, “Louis, Louis, turn it off, turn it off!” You yelled as you tackled him, reaching for the remote he was holding high.
He ducked to his side, quickly stuffing the remote down his trousers as the film continued playing. He gave you a triumphant smirk, but you narrowed your eyes, “don’t think I won’t look in there,” you threatened, and he shot up, running to the washroom, giggling the whole way.
You let out a grunt of defeat, collapsing on the couch and shrinking in on yourself, hiding your face in your hands. “Oh god, ‘m so so sorry Harry,” you grumbled, sinking further into the couch.
Harry let out a low chuckle, “It’s alright, love. I’ve already seen the movie,” he admitted and you let out an exasperated sigh.
“Shit,” you mumbled.
“Hey, nothing to be embarrassed about,” he assured, you felt him put his hand on your knee, making you flush even further. “In fact, if the roles were reversed, I probably would’ve bought a cutout of you too,” he began rubbing a small circle on your knee.
You removed your hands from your face at his confession, looking at him in confusion, “Wait, really?”
“Of course! When we first got together as a band, you called Louis, and he stepped outside for a minute to talk to you, when he got back, he had the biggest smile on his face. At first we thought that it was a girl he’d been talking to, but then he told us it was his sister, and I just had to know more about the girl who made him smile that big. He began talking about you, and about your other family of course, but I couldn’t stop thinking about how he described you, then he showed me pictures, and you just blew me away, as cheeky as it sounds,” he laughed lightly, your eyes traced his profile, “then I saw you at MSG, and I was even more shocked, you were much more mature than the last picture Louis had showed us. I couldn’t stop thinking about the girl who smiled brighter than sun, the one who loved her family more than anything, the one who could make anyone laugh just by speaking, and I hadn’t even met you! But now I’ve actually met you, and even seeing you wrestled with Louis earlier, it confirmed everything I already thought.” He paused, his eyes opening quickly, “I-Uhm, if you don’t like any of that, you can just ignore all of it.”
You sat in disbelief, joy overwhelming you, “Wait, so you like me?”
“I mean, yeah, if that whole speech wasn’t convincing enough, I can show you my diary,” he offered, and you put a finger to his lips.
“As tempting as that is, I really want to kiss you right now, is that alright?” You asked, scooting closer to him on the couch.
“Yeah, that would be amazing,” he giggled, placing his hand on your cheek as your lips met.
It was awkward at first, you were both angled on the couch, neither position comfortable. You shifted closer, slowly crawling onto his lap, quickly pulling away to make sure it was okay with him. When he gave you a subtle nod, you connected your lips again, his sweet, oddly sugary, plush lips. You ran your fingers through his curls, quickly tangling them. He put his hands on your waist, pulling you closer to him as you continued to kiss. It was heavenly, everything you had ever dreamed of. Of course, your paradise had to be interrupted by something.
“Oi Oi!” Louis yelled from the hallway, “I get you like each other and all, but this is my couch, come on lads!” He complained, causing you to hurry off of Harry’s lap, taking a seat beside him. He playfully scoffed, pointing a finger at you, “Now, I’m going to get some food from the kitchen, no snogging while I’m gone!” He demanded as he walked out of the room.
You and Harry giggle to yourself, he turned to you, a playful smile adorning his face, “y’know, now that I’m dating a Tomlinson, maybe the Larries will finally back off,” he joked, earning a chuckle from you.
“Oh darling, you’re forgetting one thing,” you chided, he turned to you, obviously confused. “I’m the biggest Larrie of them all,” you teased.
“Oh shut it!” Both he and Louis yelled.

What do you think about all the solo harries that are noticing Holivia is fake? I'm honestly genuinely surprised. Also do you know is there's any solo Louis that might feel the same way about Louis's stunts?? The only thing I've seen is E stans that don't like Louis and want them to break up, which was hilarious
I think that the fact that solo harries are openly saying how fake it is and calling it a stunt is the biggest sign of how much they have failed with this pr showmance. We are talking about fans who have been eating up everything hshq served to them and suddenly they are acting like larries because they just hate Olivia so much. Harries don’t want to see an almost 40 yo mother of two who just got out of a 7 year long engagement next to him. They don’t want to think Harry would rather date their moms than them. I’m sure it also didn’t help that this relationship came right after Harry’s been saying in interviews how private he is and how he doesn’t mix his love life with his job. Even harries can’t ignore these inaccuracies.
But still it takes a real talent to turn harries against yourself, and I hope Olivia's ego is being hurt every day she has to face it. Her desperation and need for attention is her downfall and I am not sure she realizes how much she fucked up. Fans are openly saying they will boycott her movie but she doesn’t care because the only person that truly matters to Olivia is Olivia herself.
As for solo Louies, I think a lot of them think Louis is gay, they just don't believe he is with Harry and ship him with people like Hot Luke or random actors. The way they treat him though, in relation to those ships, is very questionable and their perception of Louis is warped to the point where he becomes a caricature of himself. Oh, and they also think he's a dad, because they don't want to be those disrespectful larries (even though I am 100% sure the elounories will be celebrating with us when bg ends).
