#but it does my head in so much

I think it's probably the stark contrast between the ways H and L approach tour and drinking/smoking that is provoking anxiety in your anons. Harry said he doesn't smoke cigarettes at all, and doesn't drink alcohol before or after a show. Instead he goes to bed and sleeps for ten hours. He made it clear that he didn't follow this routine on days he doesn't have a show and has talked about doing mushrooms and edibles and mentioned cocaine on HsH but people forget this. Louis in contrast says he drinks before the show and then stays up til dawn partying and pranks people like Harry who go to bed early. It's just too much difference for Larries to stomach.

I suspect that is some of the subtext (although I also think there are a lot of people who are just that anxious about drinking and smoking). But I want to be really clear that I think every constituent part of that particular set of anxieties is completely absurd.

First it's absurd to be so confident about how Harry navigates touring. Harry said that he doesn't drink alcohol before or after a show and he just goes to bed and sleeps for ten hours - in May 2022. This was after he had done an extensive US tour in autumn of 2021, just as touring was starting up again - in what must have been some of the hardest conditions to tour in. He was almost certainly dealing with significant isolation in order to prevent disease and that will have shaped his choices.

Since then we have seen him drink on stage (both from a shoe and not from a shoe). To me that suggests that we should take his statements from May 2022 about what he did while touring - not as a covenant set in stone where he promised to stay the same forever, but a description of how he was touring at that time. Given that we have seen him behave differently it's probably best to assume we don't know a lot about what Harry is like on tour at the moment.

Second - even if it was true that Harry never drank or did any drugs on tour and slept for ten hours every night after having an ice cold bath and Louis got drunk every night. So the fuck what? What would that mean? Why would two musicians who were in relationships have to approach their very separate tours in the same way? What is this based on? Do people really believe that people in relationships generally approach their work the same way? How does this belief survive contact with air?

I have been saying for years that the dynamics of this are super weird. People say 'oh no Louis and Harry can't be together because Harry likes Kale and Louis doesn't' or whatever trip they're on. But if this was a heterosexual relationship - nobody would be surprised if one partner like kale and the other didn't. In fact, it's an underlying cultural assumption about how the world works, which is the basic premise of sitcoms and a hell of a lot of content. There's something quite bizarre about being 'these two men can't be together, they're different in a way that is completely normalised for heterosexual couples'.

I feel like the fact that Taylor Swift is going out with Matty Healy really should demonstrate this point with pinpoint accuracy. Whatever Taylor Swift actually does before and after her shows - her image is even more clean cut than Harry's. And Louis doesn't smoke on stage. People may be saying a lot of things about Taylor Swift and Matty Healy, but they're not saying 'they couldn't possibly be together their approach to touring is to different'.

enough strong bads... time for strong sads (theres still a strong bad here)

[image description: a page of drawings of a human design of strong sad from homestar runner, where she is depicted as a fat, tan-skinned trans woman with gray and brown hair pulled into a bun and multiple piercings. she is wearing a gray sweatshirt, jeans, and steel-toed combat boots, and next to her is a note stating that she is trans and bisexual and that her pronouns are she/they. next to that is a drawing of her smiling and wearing a sloshy t-shirt, and above that is a comic of strong bad poking her in the stomach and saying "even her gender is my hand-me-downs", to which she stays silently angry at him. end id]

i don't know if this'll make sense but there’s something so poignant about Bell Hells being guests in every space they occupy and having really nowhere to truly retreat to is what I think is going to metaphorically kill them in the end. I mean, dealing with the immense loss of their friend and all they have to go back to is a war encampment with beds offered to them that anyone else could occupy really drives it in

M9 had 1 physical home and 1 mobile home they were able to bunker down in for needed rest and recuperation. plus a couple cities that became complete safe havens for them. Vox Machina had an entire keep gifted to them and then when that got destroyed they upgraded to entire city of Whitestone as their main hub. Not to mention they were allowed an entire year they could live freely for themselves after the terrible heinous shit went down before the more terrible heinous shit started up. there was something so important to these two groups about having a home together that allowed them time to grow together

The hells are a bunch of wayward souls who were all eager to leave their initial homes behind for one reason or another but forgot to find a home together along the way so all they have left to fall back on is “the mission”. something something their growing strength and knowledge of the world only alienates them to it more if they aren't allowed a place to rest and process

Witnesses say that the two have been at it for roughly an hour, that this is not the first time something of this nature has occured and that they highly doubt that this will be the last. When authorities attempted to intervene, men that claimed allegiance to the man in the snakeskin coat became violent and are quoted as saying, "No one gets in the Boss' way. No one." Local police had this to say:

"After a few officers got hurt, that was it for us. I told my men to stand down... Yeah. When you see idiots going at it like that, it's best to just let them tire themselves out. They will eventually. For now, we're just keeping an eye on the situation and making sure no other innocents get hurt due to their tomfoolery."

We will keep you updated as new details emerge.

The sequel to this that no one asked for, yet which @miaumiaoumao predicted with 100% accuracy. How did they know this was the other thing not pictured???

Also, @pigeonfeather caused this additional sequel:
