Barty and Evan are the kind of people to take literal centuries to realize their feelings for each other and then get married the day after having their first kiss/confession.

i really appreciate the way you answer questions about larry history. it’s so important that these stories aren’t lost.

but i did want to take issue with one part of the fimq story. ellie’s videos were great, but the one that caused antis to come for her did cross several lines from my pov. she used footage of actual holocaust victims wearing the pink triangle.

she didn’t apologize and she took her own videos private. i think it’s important we tell the whole story https://fanlore.org/wiki/Freddieismyqueen

Hi, love. She used those clips as part of a video called Louis the Brave in order to connect Louis' triangle tattoo to its context (the pink triangle used to label homosexuals during the Holocaust. It's long been a reclaimed symbol for the gay community). IMO, there was nothing to apologize for, and that is the whole story.

There are a huge number of extremely uneducated and volatile people in this fandom who will jump on literally anything without taking a minute to breathe and proclaim it "problematic." To think that she was saying Louis' situation compares to someone imprisoned during the Holocaust is just the height of stupidity.

Antis hated her. And they jumped on the first thing they could that gave them a little traction (see previous: unedicated and volatile). They whipped people into a frenzy about absolutely nothing. Maybe it was shocking to someone to see that clip. But art is sometimes shocking. And you'd be surprised how people have no idea why the triangle is so meaningful to queer people. What I remember is people feeling morally outraged by something that they fundamentally didn't understand and then, as per usual, they got really loud about it.

Here are some comments worth reading (as opposed to the fandom wiki you link to, which, in my experience, is HEAVILY biased against larries):

This This This (as an example of the bullshit lies antis spread)

I'd watch the video in question before making assumptions. And if you feel offended, that's okay. That's your right. But Ellie also had the right to make her art. And absolutely NO ONE had the right to threaten and scare her so badly that she left the fandom. Even if they wanted an apology for something.

"I Love You Too" ~

Rafe Cameron x Girlfriend Reader

~Pure fluff, lots of kissing, and body touching

No plot just fluffy feelings all around (you've been warned)

I lay on mine and Rafes shared bed waiting for him to return home. He texted me twenty minutes ago that he would be back in ten minutes.

Im not the type of girlfriend who'd panick if he were five or ten minutes late, but I do think about him a lot if it does pass the time he mentioned.

I had my head against the soft, plush, pillows on the bed. The pillow smells faintly of his cologne and it's one of my favourite things.

I ran my hand over the bedding I lay on. I used to not believe that I could find such comfort, but I have, and it's so beautiful. However, right now I was mentally distracted by the fact that I had to wait for Rafe.

He was gone all day and we barely even shared a phone conversation. I couldn't wait for him to get home, but when you wait time seems to take that as an invatation to defy as many known laws as possible.

Luckily, a while passed quickly, a surprising thing when all I did was gaze at the ceiling and occasionally around the room as I waited.

I heard footsteps approaching the room and I knew it would be Rafes. As the door swung open I sat up, happy to finally see him.

"hey, baby" his exhausted voice greets me, a relieved smile gracing his face.

"You're back" I say with a smile, watching him closing shut the door and hurling his keys somewhere that will be hard to find.

He walkes over to me before gently encouraging me back so I was laying on the bed, he crawls on top of me.

"well, hi" I say giggling, looking up to his face.

"hey.." He smiles playfully as he adjusted his weight so he was holding his weight up by his forearms, one of his legs between mine.

"you come here often?" I say lightheartedly, with a large smile on my face.

"well, for a matter of fact, I do, yeah," he says lowly, as he looks over my face as if reminding himself of all my features. His gaze on my lips and my eyes was where he lingered the longest.

"God, I missed you.." he mutters, as if for only us two to hear, regardless that we were in an empty house.

"it's only been a day," I say softly, keeping my gaze trained on his icy-blue eyes.

"only a day?.. You used to be the one who couldn't go five minutes without me," he teases, his signature smirk playing on his lips.

The only response I had was a slight huff in protest. Knowing full well that he was right, he is right, nothings changed.

"you don't deny it do you, baby?" he mumbles quietly with an amused tone.

"well.." I begin, attempting to defend myself.

"no, baby, it's fine," he says his voice a bit lower, "I like that you're soft with me in those ways, and that it is only me who gets to have it.."

"of course it's only you who gets to have it, I only want to give it to you" I say genuinely, a small smile on my lips.

"damn straight, you better give me all your love.. All your affection, everything.. Or I might have to take it from you" his voice laced with a mischievous tone.

"you've still got your jacket on," I say his slightly rain-dampened jacket catching my attention.

"hm, doesn't matter, baby," he mumbles as he clearly didn't want the moment interrupted by anything. He didn't even take his passionate gaze off of mine.

"cmon, take it off" I say, causing a slightly unhappy look come into his expression. He didn't want to have the moment broken.

He huffed as he took the jacket off, attempting to not get out of the position or move much. Finally, and with success, he carelessly throws if in the general direction of the floor, he swiftly returned to the same position as before.

"you just trying to distract me, huh?" he says, ever so slightly breathless from the sudden physical demand to take off his jacket.

"distract you from what?" I asked with a smile, completely savouring his slightly breathless tone.

"hm.. You know what, baby" he purrs, as his eyes glanced over my face again.

"no I don't.. Distract you from what?" I say a playful and curious expression taking over my features.

He leans in close to whisper in my ear, "from giving me your love and affection," he spoke, his words tinted with a smile.

He pulled back to look at my face, his face unreadable yet the desire that eminated from him as undeniable.

I giggled at his words, "let me give you my affection then,"

His gaze was on mine, watching and waiting for anything I could be implying.

He slowly moves so he was laying on his back, his hand met with my hips as if to encourage me to come closer to him.

I climbed on him so I was straddling his hips, I rested my hands on his shoulders as I looked down to him, his gaze never leaving mine.

"hm, I like this," he smirked, his hands gripping my hips a bit tighter.

"get your head out the gutter, dirty boy," I say playfully, with a small smile.

"how can I when you're basically on top of me?" his hands ran up from my hips sliding over my waist.

I kept my gaze on his as I rubbed his shoulders. Not needing words to explain the way i felt how much I cherished him.

He was reading my expression, his eyes softening when he noticed how lovingly I was looking at him.

Silence was the loudest sound. The contact of his hands on my waist, the contact of our hips together, the way our gaze was something so strong it was like a physical bond. I loved him so much, In ways I never knew could exist. It almost made it feel pointless to even try to verbally explain it to him, words were going to fail me. How could I string together any combination of words to even begin to tell him how much I love him.

"I love you," I finally say, breaking the silence.

His eyes stay on mine for a moment, saying hundreds of things.

"hm, I love you too, baby," his smooth voice mumbles, his love pouring through each syllable.

I smiled at his response. This moment feeling so vulnerable, so untouchable.

"it doesn't count if you say 'I love you too'" I say playfully, amusement playing on my voice.

"oh, yeah?" he chuckles, mindlessly sliding his hands lower to my hips.

"means you're just agreeing," I continued, I ran my hands down to his abdomen, feeling his toned muscles beneath them.

"hm" he says, in a way that could have been an agreement or something more.

I giggled as I leaned closer to him, keeping our faces about a foot apart.

"so pretty, baby.." he mumbles as if it wasn't necessarily for me to hear.

He ran his hand through my hair, pulling it so it rested over one shoulder. He ran the back of his hand down my neck, in a soft, appreciative manner.

"you didn't ask why I was late back.." he murmured, tone as soft as the atmosphere between us.

"I don't wanna hound you, you're an adult, come back whenever you want," I say, feeling how his hand ran down my neck and his fingers were now tracing along the neckline of my shirt.

"I want you to 'hound' me baby," he says his voice distracted a she continued to trace his finger along the base of my neck.

"okay.." I say, distracted myself. Watching the specific expression he has when he's touching or watching my body. His gaze so full, so focused, as he traced over my collarbone.

His eyes flickered to mine momentarily and I leaned down and kissing his lips.

He reciprocated the kiss immediately, his lips softly moving with mine as he kissed me with the same tenderness that was in his gaze before.

His hands were back on my waist as he continued to hold me there. His body was eager against mine, yet we were still tender and affectionate in the kiss.

I broke the kiss slowly and looked down to him watching his demeanour.

"I love you," he says quietly, his voice slightly gravely from the kiss.

"I love you too," I say, a playful look coming into my face.

A smile instantly met his face, he knew I just copied him from earlier.

"You're a lil' minx" he mutters, unable to actually pretend to be annoyed as he's smiling at me.

@noblehouseofgay

[moonysraygun]

Screaming crying throwing up because I will never have a love like Wolfstars becuase I genuinely never felt anything strong for anyone besides annoyance and physical contact makes my skin crawl and I don't think anyone would handle my crazy well enough to stay.

[ezkel]

I know I keep talking about otb but I'm rereading it (again) and I know it's probably just a mistake solmussa made while writing it. but I genuinely enjoy it and decided it's intentional.

literally everytime regulus recounts an event in the past in terms of how long ago it was, he's wrong. Halloween party: "what we did on the roof last night" um regulus I'm sorry that was actually Thursday night, it's Saturday rn... last night James told you he couldn't go to the roof, because he had to get the alcohol and set up the party...

another one is at the end, after the war, he's talking to James and says "the cave was weeks ago" I counted the days, it was 8 days ago... regulus...

anyway otb regulus is really bad at managing past times in his memory. he remembers it all he's just not good at telling you when it happened.

if you ask otb regulus what he ate for dinner last night he'd probably tell you what he had for dinner a few weeks ago and honestly think he's correct
