#he loves his fans like Louis love his fans

Another good Doncaster lad ..

Yungblud announced lower ticket prices ($20 including fees) to help fans who can't afford to come to see him in concert. *this was posted 21 June 2023

Then there were also elements that I found kind of surprising and shocking, the whole ‘come to me’ sequence that happens right at the beginning and I really couldn’t quite work out why we were doing it like this. And it does feel like a horrifically mean trick for Lestat to come out and say that thing. [...] I mean it’s quite clearly scripted because of the way the language is written and I think this is when it comes down to that little negotiation because one of Lestat’s big MOs is that he is a monster, an unlovable monster. And he kind of oscillates between loving that side of himself and hating that side of himself. I think there was this element when he says I, a vampire, was being hunted, I was being loved, he loved me. I showed him for who I was and he loved me. I think that probably is an amendment that Lestat put in because I think that meant something to him because if we take what we see in season 1 of the Louis transformation where Lestat does a really brutal act in front of Louis before saying I love you, and by the way I want to be your immortal companion, you know, let’s do it, but this is who I am. [...] So I think that was an amendment that Lestat put in. But the ‘come to me, he was calling me calling me calling me, come to me come to me come to me…’ I don’t know, it feels very complex and Jacob and I spoke about it quite a lot and I think we came to an understanding between the two of us that there was a mutual yearning for each other. [...] So I think it’s very vampiric language whether Louis was saying “come to me” or whether Lestat could just feel that he wanted him to come to him. And I think it’s very shocking for Lestat in that moment to be smacked in the face with ‘I didn’t want you. I always hated you.' Then he responds, then his vicious side spikes up.

Tbh i am not surprised that a person who openly talked about having drinking problems since 1d days, because of how crazy 1d worked has been agressive. What surprises me is people being surprised (they never seriously saw drunk person?). But i am also confused about this whole book. Apparently Maya said that that book is not fully bout Liam but compilation about her exes and some of the worst parts are not about him. But recently she said that the book is “ofc about him” so what is true then? Or did she meant it that ofc some parts are about him or that whole book is about him?

Sorry, just confused

I also am not surprised- we've learned so much more about the real stories of things and about the guys' actual lives over the last years, and the story that has unfolded around Liam has been totally consistent throughout if you've been following it, and so the information Maya is telling us is shocking and upsetting but not difficult to believe. I got an anon yesterday saying they were worried about getting similar revelations about the other boys, like "if Liam could be doing this we just don't know, any of them could", and while in a way that's always true I guess, anyone could be doing anything in private like... that doesn't really concern me. Because none of these Liam revelations are coming out of nowhere, there have been many MANY steps along the way leading us here if you've been watching, and he has talked openly about both his mental health struggles and his addiction issues. So to answer that anon... to find out something similar about Louis would in contrast contradict everything we know about him and no I'm not worried about it. Is he probably very irritating, absolutely, but an abuser or a loose cannon, well that news would shock me. But anyway as for the book I don't find it strange that she was nervous when it came out and treading lightly and later decided, fuck it. In the absolutely on point tiktok she dropped today (YES👏GIRL���FUCKING TELL THEM👏) she even mentions attempts to keep her from publishing the book, presumably by Liam's team, that I am riveted by and cannot WAIT to hear more details about actually- like I said I don't find it at all strange that she was nervous and downplayed it a bit then. But if she says now that it's just about Liam, well, I would say it's been clear from the beginning that the book is their story. Maya herself brought up the parallel of songs being written about stuff and I think it's the same thing; it's true (she was in an abusive relationship that involved certain kinds of events) but maybe not 100% literal (I'm sure details were changed to make the story work, it's not like a word for word timeline of their interactions or whatever).

I just think people need the gentle reminder that while you may consider a celebrity a loved one, to them you are just someone who loves them. I’m sorry if that hurt your feelings✨

Trying to talk to somebody about Louis outside of Lestat and making it very clear to the other person and they still keep talking about loustat. And on the very first reply. It wasn't even, like, a while later the conversation accidentally went to loustat. The person didn't even try, really. SMFH.

i think too much about how louis said he wrote the greatest as a tour opener and how that idea probably came from seeing how we reacted to we made it during ltwt..... :,) <3

and some are gonna kill me for this one but when he said "was written with the fans in mind and with that relationship between us so having that connection and that moment of us both singing together will be pretty cool" he wasn't saying the song was for the fans, he was saying he wrote that thinking on how we would react to it [and to start a tour with it], it says it quite clearly in the quote....

the post about the mirrors between the Kenny & Jane fight and the Minnie & Clem fight just reminds me of all the similarities between Violet and Kenny. like obviously they’re different characters, I just find it interesting how they share so many traits (being very loyal, may or may not sustain an eye injury, like fishing even if one is rod fishing and the other is spear fishing). there’s some more similarities I forgot to mention but I’ve been patiently waiting for someone to draw Violet and Kenny fishing wearing “women love me, fish fear me” hats or something.

oh yeah, ALSO. they both have moments where you can fight them and calm them down (Kenny on the train, Violet in the ending where you didn’t save her).

this is just so interesting! wish other people acknowledged it.

anon unknowingly unlocking my beef with kenny defenders who hate violet

vi was one of the first characters for me where i realized that a female character can have all the traits people will defend in their favorite male character(s) and yet theyll still find a way to absolutely despise her for some reason

kennys #1 defense is that him losing his family is what drove him to the brink and its soooo understandable for him to act out the way he does (brutally killing people, abusive even if it comes from a place of wanting to protect "his group"). but violet, who acts the way she does (isolationist loner) because.... she lost her family... is a disloyal bitch for some reason 😐 even while shes nothing but loyal to clem regardless of choice (people are quick to defend louis' actions in ep 2 as well and his behavior never makes Him disloyal for some reason 😐 "he lost his best friend!" and vi lost her best friends/gf because of marlon so?), and only has a lapse in judgement after you (determinately) "betray" her 💀 AND she apologizes for it if you do!!

if nothing about violet changed besides her pronouns the fandom reception to her would be so dramatically different and i refuse to believe otherwise

Thank you for coming to Greece, it means the world to us greek fans <3 - Efi C.

Fan message for Louis from the Louis Tomlinson: Live (see all the messages here).

[statementlou]

Nah. I bet this is just Sony fuckery. Louis probably owes them those Asian dates and they are are just going to drag the whole thing out to lose him fans and decrease the confidence of promoters. It’s nasty but pretty obvious someone has been working to reduce the confidence of promoters that he can sell tickets from the beginning. One of the things being promoted in AoTV was his ability to sell a tour. Louis isn’t even the only member of 1D this is happening to. Liam was never going to do that random Latin American tour, but someone with access signed off on it.

.....do people still believe this nonsense is in any way relevant to anything that is happening? babe, I am BEGGING you to follow better people, this is the actual opposite of "pretty obvious" and completely unnecessary when there are actually totally straightfoward explanations for everything we can see happening, and the same things can be seen with lots of other musicians who are presumably not the targets of industry conspiracies. PLEASE learn something about how the world and the music business actually work (what on earth does "owes Sony Asia dates" even MEAN that's... not a thing) and stop listening to crazy people, it's 2023 not 2016 and Louis is out there THRIVING on his own terms

This exchange between Louis and Daniel kept pinging around in my brain for months. Of course it didn't take front seat and begin germinating until things have quieted down, all but coming to a screeching halt content wise.

Intentional or no, it feels like a hypothetical RJ + Anne conversation within a Louis + Daniel conversation.

Louis:

Anne whining to RJ some iteration of: "But I don't want anything changed. I don't want people twisting my work with fan fiction. It greatly disturbs me!"

Daniel:

RJ: Yeeaaahh, Anne that's just not how it works. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

Also: Your story is in great hands, gonna blow up some of the best core elements for ya.

Coming slowly to know his evil, or being catapulted into it ... was all the same. I wanted none of it finally. And, deserving nothing better, I closed up like a spider in the flame of a match. And even Armand who was my constant companion, and my only companion, existed at a great distance from me, beyond that veil which separated me from all living things, a veil which was a form of shroud. (IWTV, 1976)

[positively--speculative]

I feel like an effective love interest in the gothic/horror genre is one you're uncomfortable being attracted to. Like, they can be the most absolutely vile and terrifying person you could imagine meeting, but the part that fucks with you is the fact that you're still attracted to them. And you have to kind of step away for a moment and remind yourself of your own morals and boundaries.

I mean, if that person's irredeemable qualities turns you off completely to that character and you don't have a hard time with that character from the moment those qualities are revealed, then that character is too bland. They lack the charm that messes with the person consuming the story. And if you have little to no reaction whatsoever, then you probably need to reflect on that, because the normal reaction is to be disturbed.
