Multiple truths can exist at once;

BookTok getting people into reading is good; BookTok is not single-handedly responsible for why people struggle with literacy in the internet age.

BookTok *sometimes* gives indie, self-pub, and lesser-known authors a needed boost.

BookTok turning books into an easy, breezy commodity and frequently promoting a limited number of books based on aesthetics and surface-level premises alone is concerning.

A lot of people are coming away from BookTok recs disappointed by the shallowness of some of the stories they are being rec’d.

A lot of critiques of BookTok are just as shallow (“tropes are bad! mentioning rep is queerbaiting! if I don’t like it then I compare it to fanfiction! give me a full-length summary in every mention of the book or I will assume there is no plot!”)

People often use critique of BookTok shallowness as an excuse to harass small authors (who sometimes aren’t even on BookTok?) for trying to promote or discuss their books at all.

People can and should seek out alternate book rec venues to BookTok, especially if BookTok disappoints them.

yall do realize just because something has been a target of misogynistic criticism, that doesn't make stanning it completely uncritically in response some kind of revolutionary feminist praxis. right.

larries are insane and pathetic and every single thing Louis said is unfortunately right. he’s so tired of you all and you cannot even comprehend it because you are psychos that will never give up this alternative world you’ve created

Hey guys! _iicfhome_28 on twitter has created a Google Form to get an accurate perception of the different fan demographics in Louis' fanbase due to the media's skewed perception of it. I said I'd share it here in hopes to get a more accurate representation of Louis' fans. No personal information is collected and it is completely anonymous 🫶

* didnt know how to sum this up well but like from what generation was the most recent person to immigrate to your country from, from your direct line (parents, grandparents etc) so if your mother’s parents immigrated and your father immigrated directly then it would be a parent (your father)

pls reblog for sample size etc

follow for more occasional useless polls :)

Ok this is kinda funny but imagine being surrounded by people who sound like this. The French language was a mistake in the first place but combining it with English…. abomination

Thank @different-names-on-the-gates for tagging me :)

when did you become a louie?

Jan 23, 2020 when i came across Louis' Walls live performance for BBC from one Oasis account i followed on Weibo, a Chinese social platform. I was hooked immediately and my life trajectory was changed that day.

2. your earliest fandom memory?

having online courses from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and pulling all-nighters (8 p.m. to 4 a.m.) to learn about Louis. I learnt about 10 years of Louis' history within one month. That was wild. I remember telling my friends i enjoyed the lockdown because i felt fulfilled every day hahaha (not because of the schoolwork obviously)

3. your favourite song (one off walls, one off fitf)?

For Walls it's Walls and Fearless.

For fitf it's Saturdays, Silver Tongues and All This Time. I can't choose, really, but these three are top-tiers, especially Silver Tongues

4. your favourite music video?

Walls. i love all the metaphors and Oasis references.

5. favourite gig?

For LTWT, it's the Milan show in 2022 because of the 34k (or 35k?) tickets sold out

For FITFWT so far, probably the O2 show. I love seeing Louis getting confirmations of his achievements.

6. favourite louis hair?

The one one day before Live from London, when he had his hair cut and never grew it "long" ever since

Only the real get long-hair Louis like I do. As much as i love Louis' hair right now, I look forward to see him in other hairstyles this year. He has a face too pretty not to try edgy haircuts. Why waste the privilege, Louis William T?

7. favourite louis interview?

the Zach Sang one in 2022. i still go back to this one from time to time. will never get tired of him talking

8. suit louis or tank top louis?

Tank tops! some of his suits are a bit loose on him.

9. favourite louis tattoo?

The eye and the 8 because it reads "I ate" and i bet he knows that.

10. favourite louis bodypart? (c'mon we all have one!)

his belly, thighs, arms/shoulders, ribs and calfs. i want his body so bad! by "want" i mean a) to appreciate and b) to have a body like his. sometimes i stare into his pictures as if i'm looking at a sculpture in the museum
