HAPPY EASTER HE IS RISEN, yes indeed for the first time in oh so long we got PICTURES OF LOUIS!! IT’S BEEN 84 YEARS OMG. And we weren’t even meant to get these-- OP tells us he said no to pictures so they snuck a couple anyway, ugh, sorry Lou. But it did happen and they were posted so-- two blurry pics of Louis from yesterday in Tulum Mexico, a vacation spot known for its hip art scene. (OP said it was yesterday, another person saw him at the airport last week, his hair is long, the restaurant is new, and there is a person with a mask in the picture, yes: it IS current.) He’s on an outdoor restaurant patio with a couple people, and neither they nor (more surprisingly) the restaurant employees are masked, to the very loud dismay of the fandom.

ANYWAY discourse discourse yadda yadda; Louis was spotted arriving at the airport there last week, fully masked up. He is with a couple guys in the pictures who look to be Oli (who we haven’t seen for even longer than Louis it’s been SO LONG OMG HI OLI) and Charlie Lightening; it’s impossible to really tell if that’s Charlie, but he posted about flying somewhere for the first time in a long time yesterday (while wearing a hat very like the one the guy in the picture is wearing), and Charlie’s recent posting about Louis plus Louis’ announcement about the documentary make it seem as if they might be actively working. Maybe Louis is writing/ recording down there in another arsty hipster hotspot like the California spot he told us about and Charlie is documenting, maybe they’re shooting something else, or hey maybe it really is just a vacay- despite a ‘crypto and NFT entrepreneur’ tagging Louis to say “that was iconic thank you bro...Tulum is magical” with a SHHHH emoji, the guy said via DM that he just spotted Louis there, they “vibed for a bit”, and that Louis thanked him for not asking for pics or making a scene because “he was on a private vacation with his friend and manager.” Considering that this guy was unable to resist immediately posting tagging Louis and then spilled their whole convo to a fan (and he seems like a total tool) it would make sense if Louis didn’t necessarily tell him all his business though yknow? All I can say is I HOPE they’re filming cause oh my goddddd Louis looks SO GOOD! I need ALL THE FOOTAGE! That hair and facial hair, what a LOOK he’s hiding from us DAMN. Not as sure about the socks and sandals part of the look though, maybe that’s the real reason he said no pics, lol. I mean Harry wasn’t afraid to show off the literal exact same look with the same damn shoes but it wouldn’t be like Harry to flinch at looking silly in public now would it (bless his heart)?

And if that wasn’t enough, rumors circulated about Louis’ label-- an update account posted a much redacted message claiming to know Louis’ new label, having found him listed with a label on a database. Seems like the listing is for Arista though, so it’s probably just an old listing. As a solo artist he was previously on Sony, with Syco as his UK label and Arista as his US label (both Sony subsidiaries)- with Syco out of the picture he will be on a different UK label, or perhaps will leave Arista for a single deal to cover both, but this listing is probably not news of that. Meanwhile the fandom (mostly) powers on even as Louis is busy elsewhere (well we’re used to that aren’t we); the MTV Friday Request Livestream saw Louis make the top five for the 23rd week in a row, but Defenceless’ nearly 8 week streak on top on Most Requested Live collapsed in the face of the new Louis pics! I don’t even think it was cause people were pissed about the mask thing, they were just too busy trending Tulum, damn. Whoopsy!

Also the Watermelon Sugar MV nail artist posted a pic of Harry’s neon salmon colored manicure from the shoot with a congrats message and said how grateful they were to be part of a Grammy winning song video, and Zayn posted his GQ covers.
