this post made me look for the source video from 2011 and OH MY GOD, how did i forget James Corden was there, too and that there's so much baby 1D in that video?

my heart weeps at Louis absolutely fonding it at 2:31 while reaching for Harry to come join him dancing and the video editor knew what they were doing with that slow-mo during that spin :3

i'm dying at them dancing with James Corden at 3:00, that is so freaking cute hahaha. i honestly forgot that James has known them for so much longer than when they were at his show.

also is Louis trying to do the breakdance turtle at 3:43? xD

and they make Zayn do it, too at 4:29 lmfao what is this video it's so fucking funny sksksksks

it gets better, at 4:51 they form a freaking CONGA LINE *wheeze*

also this never-ending shot of just James' back as he's LEAVING via escalator at 6:13 i'm dead

my favorite YT comments:

yes, i did, AfraidOfTheDark04, yes I did 😌

[inkskinned]

no, actually, where is the whimsy?

my ex had a best friend named larry who asked me once: what do you think comes after irony?

we were at the bar where larry worked. it was a quiet night, and he'd hopped over to sit with us on the patron side. i swirled the lemon around my limoncello martini.

earnest positivity, i said, while my ex said, art self-destructs.

i stared at my ex. he stared at me.

his argument was the cinemasins argument: look how bad media is becoming! look at the loopholes and the dumb shit!

it was roughly 2011. galaxy print was still in. at the time, i had a favorite shirt that was a wolf howling at the moon. it got ripped in half in the wash and i honestly still mourn it. i dressed like effie stonem, because everyone did. and irony was the name of the thing. men liked MLP "ironically." the internet liked the kind of crass, "anti-mainstream" vibes of things like fuck romance, touch my butt and buy me pizza. we put cats in sunglasses everywhere, which was because we only liked things in irony.

and media had the same vibe in it: anti-hero white men would be "hard to love" and then storm off the scene. nobody was just earnestly trying to save the world: they were jaded, angry, unoriginal. mad you even asked them to try to help.

my ex ends up not being wrong. cinemasins becomes super popular. a lot of people start viewing media with this lens that is the cruelest, most jaded depiction. it's wrong for your character to have unexplained powers, even if the entire movie is about how strange it is she has unexplained powers - that is still considered a "loophole." characters make thoughtless, panicked choices? loophole. characters are actually kind people, despite hardship? loophole. features a woman doing literally anything without assistance? loophole. movies become hyper-aware of scrutiny, and now irony rules the media.

which means you go to a movie, and the character has to turn to the screen and say "beats me!!" or one of the side characters has to have some kind of quip like "are you seriously telling me that you think this is normal?" because nothing can happen in earnest. like a sitcom laugh track, we now anticipate the fourth-wall break: the moment that the media acknowledges it is telling a story. the media has to apologize for itself, or else someone like my ex rolls their eyes.

but here's the thing: i wasn't wrong either.

the difference might be that i am (and always have been) so soft-hearted that any crack in the light of this world will spear me into the ground. and i was the poet in the relationship. (he thought that was the same thing as being naïve and stupid). i was making things daily. i knew how all of us artists are driven by some strange desire to evolve. he notably liked to critique art, not to create it.

so yes, i've made things that are bitter and angry and even ironic. i've made long, sharp poems with all capital letters, and i've made poems about how the silence stretches out like a song. someone wrote once that we will spend our whole lives just circling the place we grew up. i think it's more that we spend our whole lives trying to remake a home. i think it's that as we age, it becomes less exciting to build the castle on the beach - we become aware of erosion, of windforce. we realize what we really want is to come home to our dog, castle or not.

and while art in the foreground is mired in white male violence and irony, and aggression, and not taking anything seriously - i don't think that's true of all art. i think more and more artists are leaning in to the things we love. the world has changed so much. they have taken so many things from us. the only thing we have left is love. at the bottom of the moving box - all we get is the faint sense that we have to appreciate what little we've got. i can't enjoy this stuff ironically anymore: what room do i have for irony? if it makes me happy, that is an amazing thing. there are so few happy places left for me. i want to be happy because of how leaves shiver beside each other like nestling birds. i want to be happy because of the color pink, and how magenta doesn't exist. i have spent so much of this life suffering, i have earned my right to a gentle ending. if nothing matters, i get to assign meaning to the nothing. i get to create meaning. i am an artist first and foremost, which means creation is my thing.

where is the whimsy? wherever i fucking put it. because if this is my last fucking chance to do any good in this world - i want to do it earnestly. i want to write things that make you happy. that make people feel heard and seen. what comes after irony has to be positivity.

it was close to my 21st birthday. in 7 years, i would end up writing a book about this relationship, which is hopefully coming out somewhere around May 2024. i come back to this bar scene in my memories a lot. i keep thinking of how pale my ex was. the look that crossed his face. how i looked back at him. how for a moment, both of us couldn't recognize the other person. like the gulf between us was a suddenly wide and cavernous thing. like we were alien to each other. he never took my opinion seriously, and he always seemed surprised whenever his manic-pixie-dream-girl ever broke free of the plot. like in the whole time we were together, i wasn't human enough.

this knowledge: where he said nothing comes after, my only instinct was what comes after is love.

LARRY RESOURCES: A beginner's guide

Important Note: There’s a lot of debunked information that might not have reached other Larries yet (for example, the “rejected on Christmas return call” twitcam situation). Always double-check what you share on social media and try to add context whenever possible to avoid confusing baby Larries.

Most importantly, remember: H, L, their families, their friends, and all of us fans—including your fellow Larrie friends/moots—are real people. This is real life. TPWK. 💙

11. BABYGATE 

Big docs about BBG. Read with caution and respect. It’s a very sensitive topic, but most larries approach/touch this topic without propagating hate or disrespect towards F (he is just a kid), but more about understanding the concept of babygate in Hollywood in general, how fake pregnancies and babies exist in the entertainment industry, and how the management+media can easily manipulate the narrative of an artist’s image.

Complete BBG Timeline PDF (95 pages) 𓏔 Ideal starting point. Concise and coherent. 

BBG Masterposts by tellmethisisnotlove (approx 100+pages) 𓏔 Great supporting document to the one above.

BBG Slideshow (107 slides)  𓏔 Photo references and comparisons of the Clark’s and Tomlinson’s. 𓏔 It’s a good addition in my opinion since most comments we see is how F is a carbon copy of L, and having the photo references could help you form your own opinion about it.

Babygate Analysis/Conclusions: A Non-Larry Perspective 𓏔 Important read. Non-biased opinion from a non-larrie perspective.  𓏔 Have BBG tags of popular Tumblr blogs at the bottom.

The Big Kiwi Talk 𓏔 Mainly about H’s Kiwi. Highlighting this: H did the famous ‘Kiwi x3’ during HSLOT’s encore in July 14, 2018. July 14 is the anniversary of the beginning of BBG. 

BBG Quick Summary and Masterpost 𓏔 Quick-look reference. Some links might be dead.

Note that all of these are backed up with documentation and real pieces of information released during the height of BBG (pre and post-birth of F) - whether as a form of an article, a tweet, pap pics, etc. In the end, it’s all up to the reader how you’d analyze and take them all in.

Closeting and PR 

AND SO MUCH MORE. Take it easy - one topic at a time, as it could easily get overwhelming. This rabbit hole just gets deeper as you go, and don’t forget that we’ve condensed 15 years worth of stories.

[Part II—Advanced Research]

[louisisalarrie]

Why do you think some larries like the idea of hl broken up in 2013 or 2016? I joined the fandom in 2017-18 and read back popular bloggers at that moment and everyone was convinced that they have been together, and some even were sure that Harry was very supportive in 2016 and did his best for Louis. Last few years I see more and more bloggers thinking differently. Have you ever changed your mind about hl and break ups?

hellooooo anon! welcome to the show x

a lot of the bigger blogs somewhat gave up hope, and started to fall off tumblr anyway because it wasn’t the platform it once was. The dynamic of this fandom is so different now, and visibly shifted after the band went on hiatus. The closeting got more and more aggressive over time, obviously, and then once the band split it was hard to keep on larrying because we weren’t getting content of them. And that’s the main thing I think has subconsciously or consciously swayed folks from believing they’re still together. It was mainly the hiatus.

Now, the hiatus was important in terms of contracts and stunts and we had so much hope that because they were no longer “one direction”, we’d see a large shift in stunts and the boys hanging out together, and perhaps a bit of optimism for a CO. we tried to make the best out of a very sad situation lol, but it made sense. They could be more free since they were both solo and with different teams.

However, we just didnt get what we hoped for. We didn’t see them reconnecting and we didn’t get to see them both being in the same place staring at each other with the same love in their eyes that they had in 2011, because they weren’t required to be. No band, meant no obligations together. So without the constant proof and subtle looks and brushes of their arms and giddiness, it was hard to keep up supporting them. It felt somewhat pointless because we didn’t see an end to it. It was just hoping they were seen together or we’d get SOMETHING, and we got and are still getting little tidbits, but it’s not the same amount of proof as before so people kind of fell off the wagon.

To be honest, I took a step back after 2017 because Tumblr wasn’t pumping as much as it used to, and my life got in the way. Unless something major happened, I was pretty MIA, unfortunately. But I’ve been back fully for a couple years now, which I’m happy about. But it’s easy to shift ideas when you aren’t getting photo and video evidence of them being loved up, ya know? The stunts didn’t stop after 1d. BBG didn’t end. We all bet so much on at least a couple of stunts dropping when they went on hiatus but it just didn’t happen. We were, and still are, caught in this closeting game of PR moves and bullshit tweets and gift baskets for a kid that isn’t Louis’. ANYWAY

Those are the reasons behind a lot of doubt that larry are still together. So, what do I think?

Well, I think that theorising about their breakups is just entirely unproductive for the cause that we’re fighting for. It feels almost… fanfic-esque, and like, I still see people calling themselves casual larries and believe they were together at one point and that’s why they still fight for their freedom, because of what they went through as kids and even their closeting now, but I just… don’t think it should be a theory that people try and convince others of. That’s not what larries are about. If you think they’ve broken up, cool, don’t come on here and try to prove to everyone why, because that’s just… silly. It’s almost an anti move, which a lot of old larries have shifted to, mind you, because of these theories of break ups and very little proof with a whole lot of reaching (sometimes) on our end at the moment.

It’s an argument a lot of people use, like theorising that they’re in an ethical non monogamous relationship, or aren’t together anymore but fuck casually, or genuinely hate each other, or they aren’t together anymore and they’re dating other people (some examples being stunts, some being completely wild theories), and yeah, it comes down to song lyrics and lack of proof otherwise that they’re still together.

A lot of L and H’s songs do have connotations of breakups, or getting back together, or being separated etc., and I see a lot of Larries say “oh well they must have broken up at some point like any relationship, they’re not perfect, but they’re together now” etc., which is great, fine, and normal because being with someone for like 13 years in those jobs is hard work. But I truly think it’s unproductive to theorise on shit like that, as Larries. It gives antis ammo, and I think it comes out of boredom. Because let’s be honest, us and many solos (except the niall solos rn they living it UP), aren’t getting a whole lot right now, larry or otherwise. Harry’s basically MIA, we saw louis and Harry both at the euros in the same photo, louis is doing a few more festivals before a break (god that’s gonna hurt), and so… idk. We’re all itching for something. We used to get new content every day back in the day, but we just aren’t getting it. Which is fine, I don’t expect that these days, but damn, throw us a bone lol.

Some folks like to believe that larry themselves are choosing to keep their relationship private for now, because they want to. That’s fine. Others believe they are still being heavily closeted. That’s fine. What we’re fighting for is the love between two dudes, regardless of whether they have broken up somewhere in between, because we want justice for them and a change in the industry.

Anyway, my belief is that they’re together now, and that’s all that matters. We could go into deep theories and shit about body language changes and attitudes and fighting in 2015/2016 or whatever, but I just don’t think it’s productive, or that simple.

Listen, if I was in that situation, like… it’d be fucking hard to give up after how hard you fought for this person, that love just doesn’t go away. Being that age as well, it’s deep in your soul when you feel it. So I really do think that it isn’t as simple as that. I think it probably got messy at times, frustrating sure, but I’m not going to theorise on that.

And that’s not me being ignorant about relationships and how they can fluctuate and fights happen and breaks happen and I’m sure those two went through hell, but I just don’t see them giving up on each other that easily.

Anyway, hope this gives you a little insight into my brain and what I think about this. You can check out skepticalarrie’s ‘they never broke up’ tag if you like, and I’ll have this in my pinned post for reference to what I think about breakup rumours etc as #still together still going strong.

Let me know if any other q’s or if this ramble needs some clarifying hehe. Thank you! <3

[twoghostslarrie]

i kind of wanna make a pinned post??? like a little "about me"

timi, 28 years old, i work a 9-5 job in the healthcare field

1d fan since august 2011

blog opened in april 2012 and i started off as a zayn blog

in 2014 i ventured into the 5sos fandom

2015 onwards i was into kpop and then mainly bts

kept up with 1d's solos (mostly harry and zayn's because they were my favorite) but nothing more than that

since november 2024 i am Back and this time.... Larry lol

did i ship larry during my 1d fandom days? a little... but i never really believed they were in a relationship. i knew either one or both of them were probably gay and may come out in the future but not much else. it's so much fun to look back on old interviews now and certain moments have new meaning to them??? (before i just thought they were super cheeky and joked around a lot)

what made me ship larry? discovering the song All Along.... jaw on the floor i tell you

[latent-thoughts]

I keep thinking about that post about Loki possibly returning for Avengers 5 and Secret Wars, and while mainly I'm rolling my eyes and internally screaming "please, no more", a part of me is bitterly laughing at the ridiculousness of it all. Like, really?? How many "one more time"s does he need? How many "one more time"s do they need to do the same thing over and over to him? Have they not sent their message about how they all feel about him, loud and clear?

I also keep thinking about Tom's quotes in the article. He says, "Loki is a splendid torch which I've got hold of for the moment".... but didn't the show already make it painfully clear that Loki was out and Sylvie was in? That Loki was lame and Sylvie is bigger better badder, yadda yadda yadda? Why do we need a rehash of that? Are they going to literally have a "torch passing" ceremony, where Loki passes a torch to Sylvie (except he stumbles and falls and immediately starts crying, of course!)?

And he also says, "and I want to make it burn as brightly as I can before passing it on to future generations".... but wasn't the show supposed to be the end-all beat-all of Loki and the extent of his powers? What could be better than Loki bound up in a tree for all eternity, alone, exiled, isolated, and crying, keeping that tree watered forever with his never-ending stream of tears? Is Tom secretly implying that the ending of the series actually sucked? Would he DARE to do that?!?! Wouldn't anything else be an insult to the brilliance and creativity and hard work that was The Ending Of That Show?? And also, is he really so naive to think that any writer or director would actually allow HIS Loki to even be a fraction as powerful as we all know Loki is supposed to be?? Oh Tom, please!!!

Sorry for the sarcasm overdose, but I'm just so done. It's comic relief to me now. I don't think anything they could do could make me care again. (But the sad thing is, I WANT to care again! 😭) They are just beating a decomposing corpse of a dead horse now. But I will say, it is interesting that he said "for future generations", seemingly implying the next torch bearer will be younger? Sylvie Di Martino, or whatever her name is, is not that young. I think she's at least dragging 35 behind her on a trailer hitch, so maybe they will bring on Kid Loki? I wouldn't really care either way, but at least Kid Loki would give me some kind of peace. I will NEVER call Sylvie Loki. NEVER. Not after how obnoxious they all were about her. The writers/directors had a chance to build a bridge with the Loki fandom, but they burned it instead. So, no.

Well, anyway, Avengers 5 is a long time away. There's no script, no director, and even after that it will probably undergo at least 2 years of rewrites, so we have a long time to not think about it.

And God bless you if you actually made it through all of this!! I wish you all the best, and love and comfort and peace @latent-thoughts !

❤️❤️❤️

I feel ya, Anon. *HUGS*

Also, I've stopped reading or listening to anything Tom says these days. He's nothing like the Tom of 10-12 yrs ago, which I mourn. Because he seems to have forgotten everything about Loki from that time, including every detail and input he himself put into Loki. It's like he has been supplanted by a Disney-Marvel bot. 😔

Whatever they'd do with Loki in future, I know it's not going to be good. I had some hope prior to the series, but it was crushed in the end. Loki isn't the Loki he used to be from the 2011-2013 era, he's unrecognisable. I just call him Larry in my head.

Hence, I'm done with Marvel now (I assume most of his original fans are as well). They can keep announcing that Loki will be in their future projects, because he's their cash cow, but we're disillusioned and over it.

Personally, I'm simply bunking in the 2011-2013 era. The fics are good there. And my imagination is limitless. 🥹

[alarrytale]

hi Marte! I think my question is weird but I don't remember anyone discussing it so years ago Harry mentioned that he fell in love to wmyb and lots of larries started to take it as some sort of place in time where Harry's love for Louis started?? I read something like "he was infatuated with L and to that song did he start to really love him". maybe I'm too far in my "I don't believe it" zone but I never tended to take those of his words as truth. don't get me started on how many analyses of their xf daus were made and I doubt that for more than 6 months either of h and l felt just infatuated, and as much as I kept an eye on other larries' observations of their first years of relationships one of the most evidential things for me is that by January 2011 their families and boys absolutely knew they were officially a couple

idk maybe my whole rant doesn't make sense and I'm sorry if so but anyway did you take those Harry's words about wmyb seriously? and if yes how do you personally interpret them?

Hi, anon!

It does make sense when you explain to me what you mean. I guess i never really thought about it, because i thought everyone interpreted what he said the way i did? And yes, i do take his words about WBYB seriously and believe him.

When he said "i fell in love to this song" about wmyb, i think he meant that the song reminds him of when he fell in love with Louis. When the song plays it takes him back to the time and all the moments that lead him to understand that he'd found the one. I don't think he necessarily knew it at the time, but now looking back, H was falling more and more for Louis. He probably associates that song era with the process of falling deep in love with Louis, to the point of understanding that there would never be anyone else for him but Louis. That was in june-july-august-september 2011. Harry was 16/17 and it was his first queer relationships most likely. He just had his world turned upside down by meeting Louis and being put in a band. I think initally back then he didn’t think too much about if he was in this forever, he just knew he wanted to be with Louis. I think everything happened gradually. It went from crush, infatuation, in love, deeper in love, committment, to committment for life.

Now that he's been with Louis for 14 years, H can look back at the phases of their relationship and pinpoint it down to the first half of 2011 as the time when he fell in love, or at least conciously knew he was in love with Louis.

Tbh I kind of agree with your Larry post except I don’t think Harry was in love with Louis or that they were actually in love with each other, or that they necessarily did~ anything with each other. I think at the very beginning of 1d harry was infatuated/had a crush on Louis. I do believe Harry is sexually fluid (since he doesn’t label himself it’s the only terms that fits imo) and as someone who was around for the peak 2011-2012 days especially there were some genuine weirdly intense moments that I can remember between them. However like you said larries and tinhats have always taken it way too far

^^^^ I agree w this I didn’t even say they did anything & don’t think it’s our business if they have. Harry *did* appear a bit infatuated in some of the early days, so the crush thing is plausible. But it just as well could have been platonic the full way through, & It’s all well over and passed. Honestly…I wish they could be supportive of each other (the way like. Harry & Niall are, or any of them are nowadays) in public without people making it weird

[tellmissyou28]

Well, I'm going to think, saying how I think I see Larry, I don't want people to criticize me because I truly enforce doing this, I don't want anyone saying that nothing I say is false, it's just my point of view and please, if you don't like Larry don't read and thank you.....

well let's start everything starts in 2010 in my opinion I think the one who was in love was Louis and Harry still not well why I believe this you don't know if you remember him. diary video in which Niall says that a fan tried to put Harry's cell phone in to make him see him the next day, well Louis gets jealous but what I notice is that Harry is calm but calm and calm because Louis would manage to make Harry fall in love with him in that same year 2010 since later we had this beautiful moment

Yes, as we can see, Harry was nervous and more so because of the kiss that Louis gives him in the original video, he tells him that he is very cute. I firmly believe that Louis fell in love with Harry first and managed to win him over, since later Harry would do many things for him.

We went to 2011 this year I love it because Harry and Louis were inseperable although Louis had a girlfriend so remember that Louis got married in 2011 and that's when the complications would start since there were surely fights I'm not saying it's just that it can happen that out of jealousy or ect. We all remember the One Direction interview that was done in Dallas in which Louis says that many fans believe that he and Harry are dating. Harry's reaction is not a reaction like a friend and we all know that by that point Louis is supposedly already They didn't like those rumors and they also had to remember that he had a girlfriend and that it bothered him, supposedly obvious, then it seemed like this

Everyone, absolutely everyone, remembers that, even those who don't believe in Larry, well, this tweet is very important since 2012 would come later, the hard times.

Ok, that's my point of view, I repeat, I don't want you to get angry with me, please. ;) This is the chronology from 2010 to 2011, I didn't put much information because it was going to take much longer to upload, sorry next time I'm going to upload it with more information, seriously, I promise, I'll repeat this point of view, don't get angry ;)

I don’t know what’s been going on lately, but I’m loving these confirmations.

P.S. I’ve been out of the fandom for years, so I don’t know if this stuff has already come out, if it has, sorry! But hey, they were so little back then it’s worth revisiting 🥹🥹🥹

Yeah. That was proven years ago. But it’s still cute to see. ❤️

The “Larry are in a long-term committed monogamous homosexual relationship” tag covers discussion about monogamy, long-term relationships, open relationships, and polyamorous relationships concerning Larry or just on its own.

The “They never broke up” tag covers topics such as Louis and Harry breaking up, hooking up with others, and/or being with other people or in other relationships.

Finally, the “Blue & Green” tag makes it clear why everyone associates the colors blue and green with Louis and Harry and how they use it to their advantage to signal.

"#but again--nonfandom friends not marinating in gifs from 14 years ago 24/7 #there's a very binary attachment to early larry video proof that current-day larries CLING to as current-day proof"

this is it right here, fans are marinating. i don't think it's very good for fans to be stuck in 2011-2015, being mega fans of 1D included. it's like how the Harry Potter fandom is still so strong years and years after the story ended. A good story can continue on as a fandom forever, which is what I think is happening with larry/1D. The problem is these are real people, and the "story" we know about them is through minutes of their lives, seen through screens, then slowed down into gifs and cut into videos, and then dissected again through fan interpretations and fanfic. This "story" is then used as justification for all kinds of bad fan behavior in the current real lives of Harry and Louis.

Once you step out of this fandom space for a year, it's very easy to let go of larry and 1D, because it doesn't exist in current year.

Oh, I agree, and having non-fandom friends who are open to all kinds of thoughts only underlines that removal underlining the negative space of it all. And to be clear, I personally don't mind if someone wants to marinate in content from more than a decade ago, enjoy!--I take offense when there's a hostile refusal to open ANYTHING up to context, to consider ANY other option because it flies in the face of the binary, and let's be real, fanfic-based/steeped in amber view of larryTM (caveat: I say this as someone who still vividly remembers being told how I should just kill myself because I suggested two famous teenagers fucked back in the marination years, oh how the turns table). I really am curious about new fans, the ones who are just coming in to the purely giffed and fully removed from context years, because not many self-proclaimed gold-star larries even bother to look at the two-minute clips from which so many beloved gifs stem from (truly sad, so much more proof from that particular moment in time)--what's that like now, so far removed in 2024? Especially when you have so many solo albums' worth of lyrics (and those from the last album from the band) pointing to something so much more nuanced? I would imagine it feels kinda hostile, which makes me sad because there IS room for nuance, and even if you aren't in that fandom, or you've stepped away, you can still see echoes and enjoy some seemingly basic concepts that simply aren't embraced because you aren't a true believer, right? I have two hands and a brain, I can imagine all kinds of shit (that if it's not too far off the mark isn't miles away, if you feel me)

Intro

Hi everybody! You can call me Panda [They/Them/Theirs]!🐼

Last Edited: 10 November 2024, 9:45pm UTC

So a little bit about me…

I’m 24 years old, and I’ve been a 1D fan since I was 10❤️

I’m neurodivergent, and I identify as bisexual and non-binary 🩷💜💙💛🤍💜🖤

This blog supports a Free Palestine🇵🇸

Pacific Northwest🌲

I saw Niall in concert on July 24, 2024🥹 and I probably should not have spent $90 on a hoodie but in the last few weeks I’m really grateful I have it.

I’ve been on Tumblr pretty consistently over the years, but haven’t had a fan blog since about 2011 so apologies if I’m a little rusty!

I used to write fanfic but never posted any of it💔

These 5 men are the reason I am who I am; I wouldn’t have existed online in the same way had One Direction not happened. They’re the reason I started to join fandom spaces online and why I know what fanfic is, and I’ve made lifelong friends through some of those fandoms.

I’ve never stopped listening to their music but haven’t really interacted with the fandom much since about 2016, but Liam brought me back, and I understand that I’m not alone in that❤️

✨What You Can Expect To See Here✨

Uhh I’m not totally sure yet to be honest😅

This blog is kinda meant to be a space for me to experience this fandom like I’m 13 again; Liam’s passing made me realize just how much I’ve missed this space💕

There’s a whole discussion to be had regarding Larry. Any Larry content I post will be for nostalgia purposes because I was in fact a Larry shipper back in the day.

Like I said previously, I haven’t done this in many years so the way my blog looks now (less than 12hrs after its creation) is probably not its final look

Reposts, obviously, with my own content sprinkled in

I’m not sure if I’ll write fanfic or “imagines” (I love that people are doing those again😭) but I will absolutely be reading them!

Memes. I won’t lie to myself here, some will be unrelated to One Direction, probably 💀

Boundaries‼️

DMs are open for mutuals only for the moment! I’m super excited to make new friends🩷

My asks are open, though, for anon as well!

I probably won’t post NSFW but I’ll change things around if that ends up happening.

Hello! I was wondering when you believe Harry and Louis first kissed … because people are always like “even on the first few days of x factor they were already into each other” - which I do obviously see but I can’t imagine they got together THAT quickly especially being that it was prob forbidden lol …

I agree that I think it was veeerry early on. They were kids whose moves weren’t publicly scrutinised and Simon didn’t have hawk eyes on them all the time when they were in the house… there were other contestants and bigger fish to fry than a 16 and 18 yr old sneaking off (plus they were sharing a room). It just… wouldve been easier to get away with than when they started getting bigger.

If we take Harry’s 22 Feb 2011 interview with Sugarscape about his first real crush (the cutest interview of all time), and 1d were in the X Factor house from roughly August - Dec 2010, and they’d already discussed it… I’d say it would’ve had to have happened early on in the season. They already seemed super comfortable together from the get go, 100%, but I reckon it was just adorable dorky pining for a while until they kissed one night.

Mind you, I’m sure Louis had considered the age gap quite thoroughly, too. Harry was a bright eyed bushy tailed 16 year old, following Louis around like a puppy, and when you’re 18… 16 can feel like quite a gap. It kinda is. He was able to do things that Harry couldn’t, and he had to consider his influence on this kid’s life and whether pursuing the relationship was a good idea or not.

So I think it took a bit longer than immediately, but the crush and the pining was there from veeeery early on, and their first kiss came pretty shortly after that.

here are some very cute larry moments from the X factor video diaries

and here are ALLLL the video diaries which have even more larry moments, and it’s just all wholesome and giggly and NIALL my baby does not stop laughing and everybody loves Louis
