Bri** can post the kid because she’s like “he’s my son. I birthed him. I can decide if I want to post him on social media” after all, Louis and the kid are the only reason she has followers and the fandom know about her. 😒

And then Louis is like: 😡😡😡 Keep him out of the spotlight, B. He doesn’t need to be subjected to my fandom and their ridicule of him. We need to give him privacy!

B; *SHRUG* 🤷🏼‍♀️. He's my kid and i have main custody 💅🏻. I decide over him. Posting him is the only way i get attention and engagement on my socials 📸📲.

L; 😡😡😡😡 I'll take you to family court to make you stop exploiting our kid for clicks and give him privacy 😡😡😡

Court; Before we can proceed with this case you need to provide evidence that you are his legal and biological parent.

Louis; Fine, i'll get a DNA test. No problem. He's my mini me.

Louis; *takes DNA test* OMGG 😱 He's not my kid 😭 But he's my lad and i'm his dad. And i just wanted to protect his privacy. I'm the good guy who got duped into thinking he's my kid. I wanted to protect him. He's a copy of me!

B; omgg, L is not the father! I'll lose my source of income, the child support! I wonder who F's father is then? Well, i did sleep around at the time. There is no way i'll track these dudes down now after ten years 😅

L; *is heartbroken* *gets sympathy from the public*

B and L; *it's none of our faults* *we both didn’t know, and were both naive* *he's Louis' mini me, we didn’t suspect he wasn't his father*

*THE END*

Didn’t you all see the pics the Cl*rks posted in December and the one B posted today? There is no way it’s new, a mom posts a pic from a few years agi there’s not new ones she likes? Even if it was a baby one it’s more understandable, it’s probably the only one she could find that was the least Clark like because the ones from December—oh boy someone has some DNA they shouldn’t have, fits the whole “no showing his face for privacy” narrative because even if you’re not a Larrie it’s really becoming evident

Hi, anon!

Nope, i didn't at least. Because i curate my fandom experience, and an attention seeking, lying, Tru*p supporting family who are exploiting their own kid for fame and money doesn’t fit into my view of good fandom content.

I get what you're saying though, i'm just not convinced that's the reason. Louis' fandom is so gaslighted and the mini me narrative so pushed, that i don't think they actually see what's really there, a Cla*k through and through. They see what they're told to see, Louis' mini me. So posting a new pic of F wouldn't make a difference. Those who already know he's not L's kid, know, and those who are gaslighted into thinking he is, they're still gaslighted.

[alarrytale]

Bria*a posted a new photo of F's face for his 9th birthday today and now I'm confused. Did she not get the same memo Louis' sisters got?

[alarrytale]

You block, unfollow, you curate your fandom. Meanwhile your haters are stalking you and your blog 24/7 and it’s great to see! You make them so angry ! 😭

That's right, anon!

I mute or block so i don't have to see it, and if i do happen to see it, i ignore it. Not giving it any attention or energy at all. I don't seek out things i don't like and avoid it as much as possible.

I can't control them, and they can't control me. They can do whatever they want on their blogs, and i can do whatever i want on my blog. Curating your own fandom experience is the only way to be a happy, thriving fan in a fandom like this.

Question is why you are bringing this to me, giving it your attention and energy, and giving them your attention and energy? Wouldn't it be better if you also ignored them? If you're bored and in need of entertainment, i'm happy to rec you a good fic.

[alarrytale]

Harry needs to come back because harries have nothing better to do so they insult ot4 all day, every day. They’ve still insulting liam.

Hi, anon!

You need to learn to mute, block and ignore them. These people will always be around, no matter if they're distracted by H or not. Also, Harry being on a break and you not being distracted by Harry, is making you notice them more.

You can’t control harries, but you can control what content you're exposed to, and what you spend your energy on. Surround yourself with sound people who make content you like, and make your fandom experience a good one. Curate your own fandom experience.

[alarrytale]

Hiii Marte, I hope you are well. Could you give me your opinion about the larrys in Jamaica? I was reading about it, but I'm still confused about whether they were there together or not. If you've already talked about it, I can look it up on your tumblr. Anyway, thanks.

Hi, anon!

Do you mean if i believe in the Jamaica reciept? I do believe it. But like with all reciepts, you have to decide for yourself if you believe it or not.

If i remember correctly, it was first posted as a comment in a forum on a Harry article about something entirely different. It seemed like an unprompted "Oh, speaking of Harry, i saw him with another dude when i was in Jamaica". When us larries saw that, we started digging for more info from him. I find him reliable and the reciept believable. If i also remember correctly, the timeline fits and they both returned with a tan lol.

Here is my tag for it. There might be more in my "larry evidence" tag or in my "fan story" tag.

[alarrytale]

I feel like I'm the only one who is happy to see Harry enjoying a much deserved break. He toured during Covid (which honestly I wish he hadn't but luckily he was ok), he'd been speed running his career since he was 16 and in 2015 he had to do it solo....I think he deserves this lengthy break. I don't need to see creep shots of him riding a bike or eating at a cafe etc., I want him to have down time with his friends. And I'm sure this break includes behind the scenes work too. But let him travel! Let him go to restaurants he hasn't had the chance to try yet. Let him go to Greece or Santiago or any number of places he may have been for work but never gotten to explore. Let him have lazy days where he watches HBO in bed on his laptop and only gets up to use the bathroom or get more snacks. I'm happy not to be seeing him right now and when he's ready to be back, I'll be happy about that too.

Hi!

I agree 100%. His break was overdue, both because of the toll these last ten year has taken on him, and also because of the symptoms of overexposure he started to experience.

I do think it's possible to have conflicting feelings about all this. I think most people want H to have this break, because he needs it and deserves it. At the same time you can want him to come back because you miss him, and because seeing him brings you joy and happiness. You can wish that he fulfills his needs while wanting your needs to be met as well.

H is going to take the time he needs before his return. It does seem like something is cooking on his end, so people are getting excited and impatient. I don't think those who want him back would want him back if he wasn't ready for it. If he comes back, he's ready. So i don't think people should feel bad for wanting him to return to music and the limelight. It won't put any pressure on him, and if it did, they'd put out a statement that he isn't returning for a while. Right now they're doing the opposite, hence all the "HS4 at midnight" excitement.

H will return when he returns. I personally don't think it will be long before he's back. But if he's not ready, he's not ready. I think everyone will respect that.

[alarrytale]

as horrible as the circumstances are, i genuinely hope this brings the boys back together again and they never lose touch again. they had such a beautiful bond. they are the only people who truly understood what each other went through. even if they aren’t all seen publicly together as much, i hope they remain close in private.

Reading other anons i just find it kind of funny how plenty of 1D fans (as one myself!) think they know how the boys' relationship between each other truly is. I think they forget how little we really know abou them and all we see in the media is just theur public images, for all we know they probably have small gatherings every few months, idk just found it pretty weird when all of them have stated plenty of times how much they support and love each other publicly

Hi!

I'm pretty done with people projecting this and that onto the 1D boys in my inbox, so i've stopped answering asks from anons like the one you quoted. It's especially exasperating when people project things based on their public images or it's all just conjecture.

We don’t know everything, but we can assume some things based on their current behaviour and how they usually behave, and their own words.

They've said they all have a good relationship, and that there's been a strain with Zayn (that's well documented). They all seem to have nothing but good things to say to about each other, and they wish each other all the success in the world. They all shared the same fate at some point, and that made them bond for life. They're busy people, different people and with different leves of trauma and different coping mechanisms. They've said multiple times that what made them survive 1D was the brotherhood and that they stuck together and never turned on each other. They were loyal to each other. All of them, bar Zayn (when he's in promo mode) look fondly back at their time in 1D.

It's been a decade since 1D ended and they all lead seperate lives (well not H and L lol). I'm sure they keep in touch (they've said as much) and are trying to mend their relationship with Zayn (at least L is). That's what we know based on their own words and behaviour. I sense no animosity, jealousy or envy between them. They go to each other's shows and talk about each other in interviews. I detect no lies when they do, and i think they've been very frank about the relationship they have with each other.

I don't think they're all best friends, but i do think they care deeply about each other and trust each other. I don't think Liam's death hit them so hard they couldn’t get out of bed, and i don't think they avoid each other or ever lost touch with each other. No matter how long they go between speaking or seeing each other, i think it's straight back to familiarity and friendship when they do speak or meet. They're friends forever, that's the impression i get.

[alarrytale]

I honestly don't see Harry ditching the Azoffs, no matter what I might hope. I think if he were to cross them it would be at his own peril and would have significant impact on his career. I think when he got in bed with the Azoffs when he left 1D, he basically made a lifelong commitment to them or at the very least, a very long term commitment. I don't see him deciding to leave them going well for him.

Hi, anon!

I don't see him ditching them either. It depends on how blurred the friendship/business relationship between them is, how the contract is worded and the length of it, and how embedded H is in FSM.

I thought there were rumours H has invested in FSM when it was first established, hence the merch he wore and the promo?

I'm not sure FSM is a vengeful company, so i think the extrication would be fine if the contract has run it's course and this was an agreed upon decision. H has helped bring loads of clients to FSM, so they should be grateful for that.

If he's not happy with their services and want to seek different management (UK based maybe) then i think he could do it. I just don't see why he would. He seems to have invested so much time and effort into that family, that i would be really surprised if he left them. H is looked at as a family member. I would love if he did leave them though, but i don't think he will.

[alarrytale]

I can’t believe that harries spend whole days writing “hs4 at midnight” “i miss him” when he really couldn’t care less. He’s on a break, traveling. He doesn’t care about fans and they cry every day. 💀

Hi, anon!

Harry does care about his fans, but he needs to prioritise self-care after neglecting himself and going full speed ahead for years and years. His break is well deserved. Fans know that and respect that. That doesn’t mean that fans aren’t allowed to miss him and hope for his comeback. He's becoming more visible and rumours are flying that HS4 is coming soon. So people are getting excited for his return. I don't see the issue here.

[alarrytale]

Hi Marte why is it often assumed that harry doesn't have much control over his career?

With Louis it makes sense since it's pretty clear he's been sabotaged since one direction, but why do people think the same about Harry?

He’s super successful on the charts and even seems to be friends with Rob Stnger, the CEO of Sony Music.

Hi, anon!

Because there are plenty of signs that H doesn’t have control or free will over his career, image and brand?

Do you think H wants to stay closeted, date fame-desperate women, write songs about them, stunt with their kids, act like he doesn’t know the other 1D members, play nice with zion*sts and play coy about his sexuality? What did you think the MFSR video meant? Harry does have freedom to do what he wants to do, as long as it's in accordance with his image. He's got a more favourable image than L does, so his "restraints" or boundaries aren’t as blatant or visible as Louis'.

And Harry is not friends with RS. He is his boss, who he needs to have a good relationship with to get to have some creative freedom, but RS is the one controlling him. RS loves H because he is his golden goose. It's a business relationship.

[alarrytale]

Some larries think that Harry has ditched the Azoffs because he's not on the Fire Aid line up. Can we hope?

Hi, anon!

You can hope as much as you'd like, but i don't think it's happening. There are no signs H is leaving or have left FSM. He's not in the fire aid line up (yet at least), because he's on a break.

[alarrytale]

Hi Marte do you think actors Jaike Dunnn and Penelopi Featheringtoon (from Bridgerton) are a PR couple? They're in the papers a lot.

(I deliberately spelt their names wrong instead of using asterisks hope this is ok)

Hi, anon!

I have no idea. I don't follow these people at all. I love Nicola though. Is he an up and coming actor/artist etc.? Or is he a random? Do both or one of them have something to promote? Is there a narrative about their relationship that makes sense? Are they frequently papped or just once in a while? Is it belivable to you?

They were papped by backgrid, so it was a hired job. That doesn’t neccessarily mean it's a fake relationship, but it often is. I know too little about them both to make a call. You could probably argue this better than i could!

[alarrytale]

''H being the chosen one and everyone else being left in the dust ..."

Sorry, Marte, but I don't like it when Niall and Zayn's achievements are downplayed and Harry is presented as this runaway success straight off the block. He wasn't.

Zayn and Niall weren't "left in the dust". In 2016 Zayn had a number 1 single on both sides of the Atlantic, six years before Harry managed it. His label also arranged a TS collab and a huge marketing budget for his first and second album. They spent millions on the videos for Let Me and Entertainer, which were like mini movies shot on location in Miami with a Hollywood actor (Stephen Bau*r) in the cast.

Niall wasn't left in the dust either. Huge single with Slow Hands, huge first album, big tours in 2017-18 just like Harry, big tour last year too.

There wasn't really much to choose between the three of them for a long time. Zayn beat Harry hands down on streaming until 2020. It was only really in 2022 that Harry drew significantly ahead.

Hi, anon!

Left in the dust by Sony/Columbia...

Left to fend for themselves without label support or an advantagous image (bar Niall..), without being a houshold name in America and having namerecognition, without something lined up and ready to go when 1D ended.

Zayn saw it coming and jumped ship. Niall was lucky that he was the only one who escaped 1D with his reputation and public favour intact, and without baggage, enough to sign him a good deal. Harry got everything served on a silver platter, the others had to work for it (that doesn’t mean that H didn’t deserve it, he did).

[alarrytale]

hello, why did Louis say he was jealous of his bandmates? It's so strange 😬

Hi, anon!

Where have you been?!? And it's not strange at all when you consider the uneven playing field, H being the chosen one and everyone else being left in the dust, Louis' disavantagous image, and the fact that Louis is the only one of them being directly sabotaged. It's not stange at all.

[alarrytale]

hii, when did louis say that harry went to his concert? i just went back to the fandom and i really didn't know about that, im surprised lol

Hi, anon!

[alarrytale]

i wonder if they do go through w having the boys at the brit awards how they are gonna be ab harry and louis? we haven’t been seen them interact since 2016 and also they’ve been purposely keeping them away from each other publicly. i would be happy to see them reunite under best circumstances tho. part of me hopes they do the tribute for liam bc i feel like this could be cathartic for the boys before they go back into their solo careers again. it would give them a little bit of peace in a way. also liam would love to see the boys reunite one more time.

as horrible as the circumstances are, i genuinely hope this brings the boys back together again and they never lose touch again. they had such a beautiful bond. they are the only people who truly understood what each other went through. even if they aren’t all seen publicly together as much, i hope they remain close in private. despite what the media and the industry says ab these boys having tension and issues w each other, i know they all genuinely love and adore each other. nobody can ever convince me otherwise.

Hi, anon!

We did see H and L together at the Euros, and Louis has talked about H coming to his show, so they're publicly fine. It's going to be like when they were on stage together last. I'm more interested in how it will be if Zayn joins in too. I think it will be fine. We don’t even know if it's happening.
