Solitude: it's become my trade. As it requires a certain discipline, it's a condition I try to perfect. And yet it plagues me, it weighs on me in spite of my knowing it so well.

Louis was supposedly at Barney’s Beanery in LA on saturday night 22/4 - according to screenshots in this tweet :

op has since deleted the Louis tweet (as well as the photo of Selena playing pool with Brooklyn Beckham which shows they were at B.B.) but the Selena tweet was posted 22/4 at 10:43pm PDT (time stamp is CEST)

another person also tweeted about seeing Louis at an unspecified bar the same night:

so it seems he was still in LA as of late saturday and sunday too..

(thanks to my fellow twitter detective @theirloveisgross for sharing this find ;)

Okay, about the rumors of Harry in Italy, I’ll just tell you that I’m Italian, and there are various groups on X or Telegram where girls have fun spreading fake news about H being in Italy all the time. It’s like a fun game for them. I used to be in one of these groups, just for the news, but they had so much fun making up stories about him just to gain followers or likes that it became ridiculous…

Buona sera, anon!

That's what i'm assuming is happening. They're after attention and clout, so they pretend to know stuff, they're being coy about it and pretend they're protecting his privacy, because they like feeling important and having attention on them. It's been happening in this fandom since the beginning. People make up stories, encounters and rumours all the time that's not true. The younger they are, the more likely they're lying.

Pics or it didn’t happen and pinch of salt, always.

In Whereabouts by Jhumpa Lahiri, translated by the author, an unnamed narrator is musing about her solitary life in the city, and wondering if it might be time for a change.

An unnamed narrator muses about her life—from the small deaths and absences that lurk around us, to the melancholies and loneliness that form around someone who lives in a city. She deals with nostalgia, grief, the fear of change, and the peace and sadness of solitude, all while trying to pin down what it means to be at home in a place. Lahiri's book, originally written in Italian and translated by the author into English, is a beautiful, poetic, flowing novel about a woman who might be finally on a path towards change.

Content warnings for death, sexual harassment, grief.

I’ve never stayed still, I’ve always been moving, that’s all I’ve ever been doing. Always waiting either to get somewhere or to come back. Or to escape.

Louis has been gone for TWO weeks!! TWO!!!!

And im more sure than ever that he was anywhere but LA.

He'd have been out in bars everyday if he was in LA to make sure everyone knew.

I KNOW I MISS HIS FACE 😭

mmh I do think he was in LA but I also agree it’s suspicious we haven’t seen him out and about at all.. (been waiting for him to show up at barney’s beans I’ve checked twitter every day haha)

According to this timeline Lottie flew to L.A. on the 19th (from Bali or London?) and Harry and Louis were both spotted around her hotel the days following. So i think they were all there for each other.

Why would Louis and Lottie be in LA with a funeral to organise? There are no photos except of Harry. Lottie says in her book that she flew straight from Bali to England to be with Louis, her sisters and her grandparents. There's no proof she went to LA on the 19th or reason for her and Louis to be there.

Hi, anon!

Why would you think Louis and Lottie were tasked of planning the funeral? I would assume her father and grandparents would take care of that. And work commitments i would assume? Louis was in promo mode and had to cancel a bunch of radio interviews and commitments in the US. He had just dropped "Two of us" as a single on the 7th of March. Maybe he couldn’t cancel all his work commitments and had to go to L.A for a few days. Maybe Lottie and Harry tagged along to support him.

Anyways, i can't be bothered looking any of this up, but i don't believe the blog making the timeline is pulling shit out of their asses. But it does show the importance of linking to sources. I remember this all very vaguely. Louis and his siblings were go-carting on the 23rd of march (and stunting with E...) in the UK, i cluding Lottie. And Louis went to the zoo with the twins on the 26th.

Fizzy's funeral was on the 2nd of April (from what i can gather) and Lottie went to Coachella and was papped there 13th of april.
