[ some waffling and putting thoughts to paper on the campaign. Wasn’t going to actually post it, but I want my drafts clear u_u so here I go

Not relevant to any blog existing au ]

You’re a boy in a town that tries to look good to survive. You don’t know where you came from or who left you, but you know who saved you and fed you when you needed it most. Under his roof, you think you’ve thrived, and that’s enough. Some favors here and there, keeping his business clean, ending to clients and working to earn your keep. Life’s alright, you have friends (even if some have left, and you don’t know why), and even if they’re a little dumb about their feelings for each other, you love them very much. Your parental figures care for you, all of them, and you care for them in turn — this is all you’ve known, and you think it’s all you’ll need. Asking for more feels selfish, wondering why some things just don’t feel right feels fruitless, so you smile and you support those who have stayed around you and their effort to quietly, thanklessly, keep the Fort safe. Life is good.

------

You’ll become your own man soon, a grown up in the eyes of the law, and so Clive trusts you to keep the Shack safe while everyone else has gone. A werewolf breaks in, and suddenly your life has changed. Your friends still love you, they go with you to what could be dangerous regardless, but you let them down in trying to protect them when forces that cannot harm you harm them instead, yet somehow the pain takes you under to the land of dreams. You have a vision of pain and a light, of old faces impassive at your hurt. You awaken and find the monsters you’ve been told are dangerous by your makeshift family not only hurt your friends, but heal them too. They’re sorry about it, they’re kind about it. It doesn’t take long to connect the dots — the mounted werewolves in the shack, the stuffed corpse that was stolen, were the living one’s family, yet he doesn’t hate you for a crime you never committed. The light that harms from your dreams appears in the distance, it leads you to an old friend, to new ones, and your world is upside down. There’s good monsters, there’s bad monsters. One of them just proposed to another, who proclaimed the world was ending (what was that about?). You band with the good monsters to stop another’s rampage, and you tell your old friend’s dad of your vision. His cryptic response makes you think. Yet upon your return home, Lukas says they’re all dangerous people, bad people. He reminds you of the plague in the monsters, that Saber and Clive do not get along, and that you should never see them again. You never tell him you promised to. For the first time, you feel you can’t tell him everything. You begin to understand why Celica and Conrad had to leave. Maybe it’s why Faye and Kliff had to leave, too. At the very least, Lukas says he’ll deal with Clive about the stolen stuffed werewolf for you.

Gray and Tobin don’t remember what happened the night before. They tell you of a story that never happened yesterday, and Gray describes having seen some of the people you met yesterday perfectly. He describes Celica. You wonder if it means you’ll see her again, and you wonder if she’s the one who messed with their memory. You decide not to tell them about last night. For the nth time, you feel you can’t tell them everything. Gray is still being stupid about how he feels about Tobin. Tobin is probably being stupid about how he feels about Gray. It’s stressful, but the usual. Somehow, it stresses you out more than it usually does that they’re this dense, but maybe you’ve talked some sense into Gray. Sudden pains like an inner burning fire send you to the land of dreams. You see Clive. He tries to kill you as the people in a town you’ve never been ignore your plight. You hope this dream does not become real, like the light did. You awaken in your own room, your very first room. Python and Forsyth married, you remember, and Lukas told you they got a house. Lukas told you they wanted you to live with them. You thank them, you tell them not to worry— you feel better, the scare at Gray’s is gone now. It’s not the truth, and you wonder when you became such a liar.

You’re late to the meeting with Saber and the others, the dream and sickness made it so. The man who shot Gray the day before is still angry— Saber told you his name was Leon. The werewolf still looks pretty sad, he doesn’t talk very much. Celica’s not here, but it sounds like they know her. Like they work for her. You worry for her, it sounds like whatever she’s up to is very important... very much not something someone your age should be involved in. You’re told the monster you defeated is still out there, it could hurt people. You need to lure it, capture it, maybe save it. The plague can be cured. Suddenly, what your family does feels unnecessary. Cruel, almost. One of your friends there is like you, she lives with Monster Hunters, but unlike you, she is one too. The other says she’s God and you have no way to refute her. You wonder if it’s true. Maybe it is, God doesn’t know what straight is. The two men who proposed to each other the day before aren’t there, and you wonder if they’re alright. You tell Saber of your dream again, and he tells you it won’t happen. From the glint in his eye, you hope it won’t spark a fight that will end in tragedy.

For levity, you suggest a place that you think is funny to lure the monster to. Surprisingly, everyone agrees. You meet there in the dead of night, and maybe have a little laugh at Catria because she brought her horse. You see Conrad again, but you can’t even reunite properly, because he can’t save the monster and it makes him upset. God tries to do it. She kills the monster. Before you can process what it means, God’s brother appears, and they bring it back. You wonder if God and her brother could bring back the werewolf’s family. The monster man is healed from the plague, but he doesn’t have clothes. It’s a little embarrassing. You treat him to dinner. God finally knows what straight is, and everything that isn’t (she says she’s pan). The waters feel more muddled now. A part of you wonders if you’re not what you thought you were.

------

You know Berkut is throwing the biggest Halloween party this year in town. That means you’re not invited, he’s still mad about chess. You don’t mind, really, but your plans to just stay with Gray and Tobin for the night are turned upside down when they both get sick. You decide not to meddle in that mess. Unexpectedly, you’ve been invited to the werewolf’s house. Saber lets you know, on one of your morning walks in the woods. You think Valbar is nice to invite you, and accept, even if you don’t know how to get there. Saber tells you he’ll pick you up. When the day arrives, you dress like the men in black after some consideration, thinking it’ll be a funny joke. When Saber picks you up, you realized he lied about not knowing where Faye and Kliff went. Kliff is there, in the car. He’s dressed up just like you, and you catch up on your way there. He’s been traveling, he says, and he wants to travel more. You realize there’s more to this world than you’ve ever known, you realize there’s places just for people like him and Celica. You wonder why they’re letting you in, when your family hunts people like them. A part of you wonders if you’re also one of them. You dismiss it because of what it could mean.

You say hello to everyone you see at the party. There’s new people there, but there’s people you know, too. The men who proposed don’t come, but Catria brought friends, and the man who had the plague has company now (maybe he remembered who he was?). Celica isn’t here, but her brother is, and Saber left after he dropped you and Kliff off. You say a brief hello to those present, then instead focus on the host (Leon still looks like he hates you, though). You hug Valbar. He lost his family to yours. You tell him you wish his wife still wasn’t on display in the Shack. You don’t ask what he did with the body he stole of his child, it’s not your business anymore. Instead you talk with him a little more. He tells you that you’re getting into the spirit of things by dressing as a person. You decide not to understand what it implies, and instead tell him he looks good in his costume of Billy Ray. He insists the men in black aren’t real, you think it’s funny.

Catria collapses suddenly while you’re saying hello to the man who no longer has the plague (his name is Ezekiel?), and you hurry over. Corrin saved her, says something about a demon, and you wonder what it means.

A little girl bursts in, followed by her brother. She says her name’s Delthea, and she’s friends with Valbar. She’s here for candy and wanted to read fortunes to ‘practice’. She claims she’s God, and that Celica is too, along with the lady who was holding hands with Catria earlier (Sonya?). You wonder if it means Corrin and her know each other. They don’t. You’re not sure what any of this means. Delthea likes you because you’re friends with Celica. She reads your cards, and you wonder what some of them mean, while others make sense. ... Your dread returns. She reads the cards of other people present. They seem unnerved by the result. Delthea leaves after you remind her there’s more trick or treating to do. She leaves with her brother. He doesn’t seem to like Leon much in particular, and is very mean. Leon leaves the house. Catria, her sister and the red-haired lady leave afterwards. You’re worried about Leon, he looked upset, and Conrad says he’s scared to follow and doesn’t know what to do. He tells you what you know (Leon hates you), you promise to try to fix it. Conrad is a dear friend to you, Leon is his friend. You’d rather be on good terms than bad. You decide to follow Leon.

You see things you wish you hadn’t. You learn a truth that hurts to the core. The people you looked up to are murderers. Killers. That boy was innocent. He just wanted to show the boy he loved something beautiful. You feel Leon is right to hate you. Those people feed you, they clothed you, they raised you. And they hurt others for a price tag— Clive hurts others for a price tag. Forsyth pulled that trigger. Lukas looked for the item that kept him looking human and revealed him. Python let Leon go. Leon showed you his past and thought you were in it. You tell him your truth and listen to his. Together, you watch the horizon and the town beneath the mountain, the town where you live. You both cry. When Leon feels better, he walks away. A shadow near him disappears. You hope it means something good.

You return to Valbar’s house. You’re not sure how long you cry. At least Kliff is there.

But then you feel like you don’t fit inside the house. Like something is burning inside. Your arms hurt again, your head hurts again, and you politely detach from Kliff to go outside. Something’s wrong.

Valbar comes to see you. He somehow makes it better. Maybe he knows what’s wrong with you. You’re too scared to ask. Instead you focus on the news he brings to you:

Celica’s going to the dance. She’s invited you to go with her. You accept.

------

You’re told about what happened while you were with Leon (and crying). It sounds like something out of a scary B movie. Corrin invites you to the house of the guy she’s living with (Subaki was his name, right?). They have 14 children now. You’re not sure what to make of it. The one named Owain is kind of funny. It sounded unbelievable, but seeing them in person really does bring it home that they lived in a mineshaft for so long. All their life, maybe?

Corrin says she has something to talk to us about. It’s just Catria, Conrad, Saber, Leon and yourself. Owain is here, too.

She tells you of her Father, of creation and what she knows and remembers. You’re not sure how to feel about the fact that you are apparently within the dream of a God that’s been sealed within it. You’re not even sure how it works. He sounds bad. Corrin loves him very much. Suddenly, you’re reminded of how you feel about Clive. You’re reminded of what you’ve been thinking about since last night. Crying about since last night.

Catria talks to herself. She tells everyone of a lizard that whispers mean things to her. You tell her to tell it that it’s stinky, and it suddenly shows itself. You feel like it’s your fault. You realize the demon is the lizard.

It taunts everyone. It tells Corrin her father is angry. Leon hits the lizard when he’s mean to you with a book. Corrin stabs it, and it screams and screams. There’s blood on Corrin. Conrad’s freaking out. Catria’s trying to keep Corrin standing — she’s been hurt. You react without thinking. You want it to stop. So you slice it’s head off.

Corrin collapses. The Lizard’s head rolls away. You almost killed Corrin. The thought mortifies you. All you can do is comfort Conrad so he can save what you broke. Owain is crying. Catria takes the speaking head outside.

Corrin is better. Catria says she has to hurry home.

All this time, it asked things. Who it is. Where people are. If anyone know them. Something tells you not to answer it. You wonder if it’s any use.

At least, before Catria leaves, it disappears.

Conrad still looks pale. Corrin looks like death, but she’s okay now. You leave with Leon. Saber takes Conrad home.

Suddenly, Leon turns the car around.

He takes a girl from Subaki’s barn. One of the 14 children. Her name is Nah. You ask why, and he asks you why you only ask him and not Saber. You wonder if Saber takes children regularly. He tells you he took her because she’s ‘like us’.

Leon has confirmed your fears. You don’t know how to feel. He says there’s one more detour to go before he takes you home.

Leon brings the girl to Valbar’s. They tell her she’ll be incredible, that she will become something great. You decide to follow just to say hello. You still feel bad about Valbar’s family.

The girl follows you when you head back to the car.

She says you’re like her. She says she has a lot of time to find out if she likes waterfalls. You don’t like what this means. You smile for her anyway. She won’t tell you what you are.

Nah tells you that you will know.

You spend the night looking through the books in the Shack about encountered monsters.

------

You spend the rest of the week looking through those books when no one’s around. You find no answers that feel right.

There’s no one you feel you can talk to. Not without any worry. You never know when you’ll see Saber next. Leon rightfully hates your family, speaking to him about your fears would only upset him. The same goes for Valbar. Conrad is emotional, you don’t want to burden him. Gray and Tobin don’t even know people like you exist. You don’t know where Celica, Kliff and Faye are. Catria’s family hunts monsters, and Catria has an evil lizard following her. Corrin has enough on her plate. Your family... You don’t trust them anymore.

The Shack disgusts you now. It has been disgusting you for a while. You have laid flowers at the feet of Valbar’s wife when no one else is around ever since you learned who she was, but now it’s hard to even go to do it.

It’s hard to look at your family. You wonder if they know something is wrong. You wonder if they know you’re a not like them.

You wonder if you were taken from your real family. Raised like a crocodile for leather. You wonder if Lukas thinks the same of you as he thinks of others like you. You think he’s right. You almost killed Corrin. It haunts you even now.

You wonder if Python would save you, if you were in Leon’s shoes. You wonder if Forsyth would shoot you if Clive told him to. You wonder if you’re in Clive’s ledger, if there’s money under your name.

These thoughts and more plague you all week.

The day of the dance arrives. It’s the only thing that’s kept you getting up in the mornings.

------

You wear your best tie, shirt and pants — good enough to dance in, and good enough that you won’t look like a fool. You don’t want to let Celica down, you’re her plus one. Clive lends you his boots. Something about them, aside from the fact that they’re a size too big, makes you feel discomfort.

You don’t mind that she’s not here yet. Saber, Leon and Conrad are. They let you know she’s getting ready with some friends.

Around you, you can see a lot of tables. Corrin brought some kids, and you wonder if you’ll get to say hello to Nah. Palla and Catria are there too, but not the redhead that you were so sure was Palla’s girlfriend. Maybe she’s sick today. Corrin’s brother isn’t here again. Neither is her boyfriend.

Conrad looks a little silly, you think, in that hoodie. Gray passes by you with a wink, and you watch in horror as he spikes the punch with tequila. Before you can stand to admonish him, though, Tobin approaches and asks you to come with.

You tell your friends at the table to avoid the punch. You’re sure Saber won’t listen.

Tobin tells you he thinks he’s married. He explains what he means after your outburst. You guide Tobin through his thoughts. You make him promise to talk about his feelings with Gray, all you have to do in return is talk about yours with Celica— maybe hold her hand. It’s easy to agree to those terms. You see him off, then head back to the table.

You catch Delthea as she leaves the table in a hug. You tell her to take care and watch in horror as she heads to the punch table. Your calls for her to not do that are ignored, and you decide it’s for the best if you don’t meddle. (You’ll regret that)

Leon seems bothered. He leaves after a short chat. You consider following him, you’re worried about him. You don’t want to make Celica wait for you. When you ask Conrad, he says he won’t follow. You decide to leave things alone. (You’ll regret that)

She arrives with two of her friends. You’ve seen them before, they had been in Saber’s car, when you saw the light and met Ezekiel as a blob monster. She says they’re Mae and Boey, and they argue a lot. She thinks it’s funny, and you think it’s funny, too. She says it’s been a while, you give her a hug. When she hugs you back, it feels like things will be alright.

She gives you a corsage to pin to your clothes. You think it’s the cutest thing. It makes your colors match with hers. You thank her and tell her you like it. She holds your hand, you hold it in turn.

Mae and Boey continue to argue. Celica teases Conrad about his hoodie, and you laugh with her over it. Everything would be alright, the world feels perfect. You want to dance with her.

Berkut arrives, and not even he can bring down your good mood. He tries to jeer, but it feels like this time his words hold no weight. You and Celica laugh him out, he leaves with Rinea in his arm. You feel a little bad for her, she looked like she didn’t want to be there, so you give her a friendly wave when she looks back.

Python comes by. He warns you of who you’re with. That Clive will be angry if he sees. You decide you can’t abide by the warning, and would prefer to stay. He gives you a backpack. It has his clothes in it.

You wonder why he gave it to you, but you thank him anyway. There’s a Diviners jacket in there. You remember it’s Subaki’s group, and you wonder if he’s joined it.

Python gives Saber a big, thick book. Your stomach drops at the sight, more so when Saber pages through it. You ask to see it anyway. You recognize it right away. Unable to bear the thought of what you may find within his ledger of death, you close it and slide it back. Names, locations, prices... it’s all there. You hate the thought of its existence. But it can help. It can save others. It’s better left in Saber’s hands.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Conrad’s been under the table, he slid down there while Python was still around. He scrambles back out, and shadows follow him. Ghosts. You feel you should probably be scared, but you feel more sorry than anything. One of them is the boy you saw Forsyth shoot in Leon’s memory, you know because you recognize his voice.

He says Leon was looking for a chance. He’s found one now. Your stomach drops.

Clive’s hand grasps your shoulder, clamps down, hard.

Things aren’t okay anymore.

Even if you look up to him and nerves jump out your throat, you refuse to leave the table. You refuse to let go of Celica’s hands, and you desperately try to find how to salvage the situation.

When you try to tell him they’re good people, and things are okay, Corrin suddenly hits Clive over the head. She tries to overpower him. You stand to try and stop this from getting worse.

A shot rings out.

Lukas has a gun on his hands. Leon is on the ground. You can’t think anymore. You scream in anger and rage and sorrow. You want Lukas to stay away from Leon, you don’t want Lukas to hurt Leon anymore. You want to push him away. It’s that thought that drives you forward, and everything is a blurr.

Lukas is against a broken wall. He says he’s sorry, and passes out. Conrad shambles forward. Leon is on the floor. You don’t know what to do, you don’t know how to react, you can’t think.

Conrad is on Lukas. You can’t think.

Lukas is dead.

You toss Conrad away from him. Python is there. You have to take Lukas to Corrin. You have to take Leon to Corrin. You remember Ezekiel. You believe it can happen again.

You take them to Corrin. It doesn’t occur to you that people should not fit in your hands. Corrin is distracted with Clive, so you make sure Clive can’t leave.

You wait to see Lukas come back.

...

Lukas isn’t coming back.

Tears won’t stop. He’s not coming back. He’s gone. You never said sorry. You hurt him. He was right about you. You’re a monster. Saber leaves. He must think you’re evil. Celica disappears with her friends. She thinks it’s her fault. You’re sure she hates you. You’re bad. You did this. You hurt your family. You scared your friends away.

Leon is still hurt. He asks for Conrad. You don’t really care right now, but you look for him anyway. It’s scarily easy to lift him, dangle him over Leon. Conrad stops moving, you set him down beside Leon.

You nudge Lukas. You cry over him. Python’s here.

He tells you not to cry. You cry harder. He cries with you.

He doesn’t hate you.

You’re now aware of how much your body hurts. You are aware now of how big you are. Your body feels foreign. Your body feels right. Your nose nudges Python. He tells you he’s sorry.

You don’t know if you can talk. You cry instead.

Clive claims Corrin killed Lukas. You killed Lukas, you set off the events that lead to his death. It makes you cry harder. Python quits. He leaves after telling you he loves you. It feels hollow against your crime. You believe him anyway. Even now, you trust Python. He takes Forsyth. He was passed out and you did not notice.

You don’t like that Corrin and Clive are fighting. You don’t like that Catria is pointing a gun, but you think if she shot you, you deserved it. You don’t know how to explain what she’s asking. You cry. Corrin does for you. What she says isn’t making sense. You wish you could explain.

Clive says he loves you. You want to believe it. Clive tells Corrin she should not kill a father in front of his child. Hope blooms in your chest that he still sees you as family. You release him under his promise, and he disappears.

You wonder if he’s lied about the rest.

All that remains is a handful of friends you hope don’t hate you and a corpse. You wish you could disappear. Suddenly, you’re as small as you feel.

Catria lifts you on her shoulder. You hope it means she and her sister don’t hate you, you like them a lot. They carry the bag with the clothes, Conrad lifts Lukas. You want to cry again. You do.

You need to go to the station. You need to meet with Saber. He didn’t leave you behind. You have to leave Lukas somewhere.

With immense guilt, his body is taken to Python’s house. With Conrad’s guidance, you regain your human form. For a moment, there’s darkness. You see a train that goes faster and faster until it crashes into a town. You snap awake. You let them know. They don’t believe you. You’ve never told them of your dreams before, have you?

Your human form is not so human anymore. Your body hurts so much. All of your new scales feel like pinpricks. It’s painful to walk. You do it anyway. You do anything anyway. You deserve to feel pain after the pain you inflicted.

Socks and shoes don’t fit. You have to be careful not to claw the pants, shirt and jacket. The floor is cold. You deserve to walk on it like that. You dimly realize you probably lost the present Celica got for you. It makes you feel a little worse.

You think Python should hate you when he opens the door to see the body again. You should have left it where he had died. Now you have made Python and Forsyth accomplices. The guilt gets worse. At least he lets you have a belt. You know they can’t stay here long. You fear what will become of them.

But you have to go. Corrin said Saber was at the station.

You bid Python farewell and hope it’s not the last time you see them. You wonder if he gave you clothes because he knew what you were. You wonder if everyone knew except for you.

You’re not sure what you are. Some sort of big dinosaur monster that can become very small. It’s hard to adjust to the tail. It feels wrong to walk as you do.

Questions that can wait. You can’t stay. You’re a monster.

You meet Saber. You board the train. For a moment, you want to be alone. Conrad feels awful. You feel even worse. You started it, and you say it so. You don’t think he heard you. Maybe no one heard you. That’s okay.

But it bothers you. You need to walk. You need to tell Saber of your dream. You need to make sure it doesn’t happen. You’re in pain, you’ve done wrong, maybe this time you can make things right for everyone. You tell Saber. He tells you not to worry. You take a walk anyway.

You find a body on the next cart.

He’s dead. He’s a target. He’s a stranger. You call for help, but no one comes. You call again. Saber arrives. The train’s speed up, you both run to the conductor’s cabin.

It’s locked. Saber can’t lockpick it. You burst in. The town’s in sight, the controls are busted, no one is in there.

It’s the end. All you can do is cover Saber with your body.

A lady in white stands before you in a void.

She tells you to try again.

You find yourself in the train station.

You’re a monster cast out of your hometown. An evil. You’ve brought harm.

But you can at least try to save everyone.

LT2 masterpost

If it was up to me, we would get an autumn or winter EP. Since it’s not up to me at all, here, enjoy this post with everything we know so far of LT2, which is to say, not much at all. Everything here is hypothetical. I’ll be updating every time I see something relevant. A little disclaimer that while this is a masterpost (kinda), it could be read as discourse (duh, it’s also a theory), AND it’s also by me, and you shouldn’t expect me to be serious at this point.

Due to me restraining myself, there’s no reference to any of the times he’s mentioned his guitar skills and him improving but I hope you know I cried every single time.

I’m also linking my old pinned here. It was written before AFHF and around the free merch thing that didn’t lead to much, but I still think I made some good points.

Possible tracks:

Copy of a Copy of a Copy

Change

Faith in the future??

369??

Possible names:

369

Faith in the future

When is the album coming out?

Your guess is as good as mine

Friday 28th of January 2022. Almost two years after Walls. It’s a Friday. It’s a 28th. What else can I say?

Here you can find @want-to-be-loved timelines for every month.

Here you can find @berlinini’s timeline of what Louis has been up to this year (2021).

The rest is under the cut. And here you can find a PDF version where Tumblr can't tell me how many pictures I can add.

2020

He said back on May 2th 2020 he wasn’t writing anything new yet.

(x)(x)(x)

Interestingly enough, he’s said many times after that that the album’s not ready cause he has no new experiences to drawn from. I won’t call him out because he does it himself.

May 4th. He liked a tweet from DMA’s Johnny Took saying they had to go write together again. Louis has been credited as an influence for them and (kind of) participated in their previous record, so I’m assuming he meant for their music and not his, but you never know.

Nothing(literally nothing??? how did we survive) until 11th of July. We all know what happened that day. We all celebrated it. Nonetheless, that’s not what I’m talking about here.

(x) So, by the beginning of July 2020 he was working on concepts and ideas for the new album. That was fifteen months ago. I know perfection takes time but…

Brief summary of important things that happened from then until the next mention of new music:

Louis left Syco!!!! 10 days later he rescheduled the tour for the first time. He followed Matt Vines on Twitter, probably so we could publicly shame him into doing something. Also, the 10thanniversary. He followed more people I wish he hadn’t.

Then more nothing until September. Not even a single tweet. The first merch drop was on the 28th of August but he just RT’ed the tweet. He first mentioned Free my Meal on the 25th of September. Then on October 1st Walls hit #1 on a lot of countries and Louis was incredibly happy and excited about it ^^

And then, that same day, October 1st, 2020, he dropped this bomb:

(x)

He also said it was too soon to be sharing new lyrics with us (x)

And, obviously, this tweet which is actually what made me start this whole post. I would hope you know mate.

(x)

He also told us he was cooking "banger after banger" and that he was incorporating more social themes into his music (x)(x) (I believe any social issue is a political issue but that’s not the point rn).

COPY OF A COPY OF A COPY?!?!

These next paragraphs are brought to you by my mind not remembering things and me not having any links. I’m assuming COACOAC came from those writing sessions that supposedly happened in October. Or in LA but I have no idea if he actually was in LA at any point other than a Daily Mail article putting him there on December which would have been too late, but I do remember that someone said he was in the studio in LA last autumn???? A rumor. Maybe. IDK. Did I mention already all of this is very hypothetical?? Well, this is it. I can’t even remember if this was October or November or what. So, take this with a grain of salt.

I’m also… taking the liberty to assume, if you must, that Copy wasn’t meant to be a Walls reject because it sounds more mature and darker and it has a vastly different tone that Walls songs. I know he’s said that song probably isn’t getting into the album, but I want to have faith (in the future) that I’m getting a studio version. (But also, Louis, if you’re reading this, first of all GET OUT OF MY BLOG second of all, please don’t ever feel pressured again to add a song to the album because we have already heard it before. It’s your art and it should always be under your own terms).

So yeah, I believe that Copy is either one of those four songs (then imagine the other three??!!) or was written around the 1st of October date.

---End of the Intermission---

Then not much important (other than sharing more about Marcus Rashford fight against food poverty and the 2nd merch drop) until he announced the livestream on the 24th of November. (x)

It wasn’t until a few days before the livestream date we even thought again about new music (jk, I know we’re always thinking about new Louis’ music). So, December 9th/10th, 2020. Nine months ago. We got our first taste of new music!

He made sure we knew Copy of a Copy of a Copy isn't a cover! (x) (x)

(x)

Ok, so that’s it for 2020. (I feel like I’m missing something from September 17th because tweet was deleted but maybe he was still talking about cucumbers. We might never know. Unless I understand how Tumblr tags work). Expected, cause Walls was released in 2020. We needed to let it sit for a while.

2021

Another Summary: Louis third tweet of the year was telling the UK government off. So was the fifth. What a good beginning. On the 26th of January, he said he prefers pancakes over waffles. I hope he meant pancakes other than his own. More importantly, he tweeted the infamous “you lot read into things too much”. Don’t get me started, Tomlinson. Don’t. Then the 31st came around and Walls was one. He tweeted this. How wise. And Project Defenceless happened!!

15th of February!! Who cares about Valentine Day when the next day we got this? ♥

(x)

So…AN EP?? AN EP?? PLEASE RELEASE AN EP.

“I’m sure I will have something out this year but unlikely that will be the album”. Unlikely but not impossible. Also. A single would be good. This is the second time he mentions releasing something in 2021 and he sounds surer about it than the first time around.

He also said that he isn’t sure we will get a studio version of Copy. And that the best bridges from Walls to LT2 are Walls, OTB, KMM and Copy. Can’t wait!

Then we jump to March 6th when he announced he was going to create his own management company. “Sometimes action is needed first to encourage the motivation and belief”. As we can tell he was already manifesting some stuff which will lead us to the numerology stuff/Tesla… kidding. Or not. We might never know.

On the 22nd of March he answered some questions:

He told us music was still his main focus ♥ mwha. (x) I included this tweet to guilt-trip him into giving us music in case he’s reading this even after I told him to leave. ILY.

(x) I’d love to get a visual EP this autumn. Just saying. It sounds like a lovely concept.

(x)

…next (I will get into it, I promise. I’m just mad).

On the 25th he left for Mexico until April 10th. You could assume it was just for the documentary where we got ten seconds of footage or admit the obvious: LT2 its a Mexican baby!!

On the 26th (so, not so far apart from that first 369) we got the first Faith in the Future mention: (x)

Back then we were innocent people who had no idea what was coming upon us. We still have no idea because what the fuck does he mean with these. Please explain. I have one braincell and I don’t use it enough for this. I’m linking some theories.

On the 30th of March he confirmed he was already working on the documentary. So AFHF was already on the works. Will it take this long for us to get the Veeps numbers? We also got this tweet: "Got a decent chorus idea down" (x).

Same person that got the “something out this year” exclusive. If you know something share with the class. Also. Is this Change? I feel like this could be Change but I also assume he wrote Change after hanging out with his friends or being in Doncaster. But who knows.

(x) And the second mention to 369.

(x) 15th of April. The second "Faith in the future".

On the 19th of April he announced that he had something BIG for us later on the year which turned out to be the Away From Home Festival ♥♥ (x) I love him so much.

Then on the 28th he announced the 369 merch drop (which it’s probably the Walls drop? Except that the TOU and KMM ones were “drop 1 and drop 2” and this was drop 369 which, again, makes no sense) but we still don’t know what 369 means.

Into May’ 21 we go.

He rescheduled tour again. And dropped another bomb (x).

He announced he has signed with BMG as an independent artist by RTing this tweet on May 10th. The article also says that he’s already working on writing and recording LT2. The timing… we don’t know. What this deal involves… we don’t know either. Bear with me here because I have a lot to say about this.

I think the deal is only a distribution one, but that BMG are interested in Louis and what he (us) could bring to the table. They were either present at the festival or watching it, but officially they had no involvement at all with it (everything is credited either to Louis own company, 78 Productions, or Charlie Lightening’s company). That’s the case for both giveaways too; the vinyl one and the tickets for the festival.

I think it would be an unbelievably bad move not to test the waters with BMG now or soon-ish. At least a single, to see how it performs. Due to the circumstances, it’s obvious there’re certain limitations on place but I want to see how they push it, whether the radio play exist this time around and if the song is playlisted and promoted and all that… I would also love to know, since it says he signed with BMG UK, but it also states it’s a global deal, how things are going to go on the US and other countries.

Yes, yes. I know those are all questions and no answers. But I know the same as you, sadly. If any of you know more than you’re letting on… again, share with the class.

Where was I? Yes, on the 25th of May Louis had a great day writing (x). Since the first time he had mentioned he was officially writing to this date there’s almost eight months. And I believe he was writing before October’ 20.

He followed Robert Harvey that day and, on the 28th of May (why is it always the 28th???) he was spotted at the studio for the first time.

June was an interesting month for the fandom ♥. Lots of LHL content which I will love and cherish for the rest of times. On June 4th, June 9th, and June 10th he was spotted at the studio, but I believe he was there more days.

(x)

This was posted on June 6th and captioned Studio. Charlie also shared it with “Mega tunes being put down, can’t wait for this @louist91 #louistomlinson #LT2” as the caption. This gives me 2019 (Elton-Joint) vibes. I like it. Feels like we’re getting closer to something.

He added the Milano date on the 9th too which I’m mentioning because I’m going alone. Anyone wanna go with me please? I’m nice and I never eat anything before a concert so you can have my food. On other news. It didn’t come home.

During July he was at the studio at least three days too. Probably more. Feels like more with all the fan pictures we got. Or was that June? Anyway, July 1st and 9th we got some videos from Robert Harvey and wearesuperhi, which is who Louis has been working with the most, that we know of. I don’t know for sure they’re from that day. And on July 5th we got an article and lots of pictures of Louis looking really good outside the studio.

On the 12th of July the first fans started getting the free, 369 bucket hat and print. We still don’t know what the purpose was other than to thanks fans. Maybe that was it. I want answers and I still think it relates to a future project (see theories above), but it could also just be a bridge with the Walls breaking.

He didn’t tweet about anything interesting for a while, mostly because he lost his phone (he either throwed it in the air or smashed it who knows). Then on the 29th of July he announced the festival!

I’m glossing over it because there’s already been a lot of talk about it (rightfully) and while it was a wonderful thing, it doesn’t have much to do with LT2.

Let’s talk Change!

On August 3rd he tweeted this about the setlist.

(x)

And this (x) on the 28th! I can’t stand him.

We didn’t get it, obviously. Because who was going to get that. But we read too much into things. Alright.

On the 16thof August Dave Gibson shared this post tagged #LT2 with the eyes emojis 👀👀👀. I believe this has to do both with Change but also with whatever else came out of that Mexico trip.

(x) Last relevant tweet related to LT2 is this one.

So, on the 30th of August we got Change and we cried, and we know that Change is going in the new album. He said it. With those exact words. He also said he was “getting a feeling for it”. This has to meant he already has a general idea of the vibe of the new album and what’s going in it!!!!!! (Right? RIGHT?).

Anyway, let’s go back a few weeks because some other things happened on August. He was at the studio a few more times. Or it was suggested that he was there. On the 17th and the 18th. (Why was it so time-pressing to be at the studio instead of rehearsing for the festival? There was no studio at all on the documentary. Which makes sense, but again, then why?).

On the day of the festival we got another mention of Faith in The Future that made me feel part of a cult ngl. The words were flashing on the screen for less than a second. Okay.

And then he tweeted those words again after watching the livestream/documentary on the 4th of September (x). This is what makes me suspect it's either the name of the album or of the single.

On the same day, we got some interesting quotes about LT2 on the documentary.

“Soon I’ll have to think about me second album, which in my head I’ll get the tour out of the way and then I’ll address that. So, I hadn’t really given it much thought, to be honest”.

“When every day is the same is hard to feel creative and it’s hard to have any kind of proper inspiration”.

“As season started to come back, I started writing again and it was great and some of these songs turned out alright”.

And I think this is it. I might be overlooking some important details but that’s what we know and what we don’t know.

So. Conclusions. That’s what you missed on Glee. I do believe the album is, if not mostly done, partially there. And yes, this post is pointless and never-ending but it’s all in here if you need to tell Louis “Hey, you said this, mate”.
