This is an answer to a question that nobody asked me, but I saw it asked on Gina's blog @twopoppies and for some reason felt like contributing my opinion, hope yall don't mind.

The question was:

Why is it that Louies are so much more tolerant of Larry Stylinson than Harries?

It is my impression that this is the case, or rather was the case (and I say was for a reason*), due to how their careers have progressed differently, with timing playing a huge role in it. For starters, it's important to emphasize how Harry's marketing and image have always been tied to the sex appeal persona created for him. He was marketed like that as a 16 year old, and it continued like that through all of 1D and his solo career. So the fans that comprise the harries ended up falling in that category for the most part. Additionally, in my opinion, the fact that Harry began his solo career much earlier, and got a high level of success right with his 1st solo album, led him to gain a much larger fanbase much quicker. Whereas Louis' solo career took several years to grow like that, so his fanbase stayed smaller for longer, and as a result it was more likely that he'd have more larrie fans than Harry's fanbase. It's strictly a numbers game.

Now looking at how Louis' been marketed, he was not really marketed as a sex symbol for fans to desire. He was always marketed as safe, a friend, someone you could trust, someone fun. This was done through 1D via his relationship with Eleanor. They always painted that relationship as a steady, long term relationship. From the start saying that she was a childhood sweetheart, and a girl he brought home to meet the family. So that painted him as unavailable as a love interest to the fanbase at large. He was also always funny, so Louis came across as a friend who you could trust and have fun with. Someone to rely on.

I would say that this largely carried on through the beginnings of Louis' career, in part because it was slowed down due to covid delaying it, but also due to its marketing also relying on the friend image. He was a lad, sweet and caring, but a friend. His fanbase grew, but I think there was still a level of balance between solo fans and louie-larries. The pandemic brought in a boom of new fans. People who were in lockdown with nothing to do who fell down the rabbit hole of Larry. So while Louis' fanbase grew, I would say it grew a lot in larries because of 2020. FITF is where things began to change and his fanbase really grew with the larger public. I think this can be attributed to his massive tour and social media presence. His styling and image was sexier during this tour, so he also grew a lot of fans who now viewed him as a sex symbol, someone to desire. That paired with his reported split from Eleanor made him available, which in turn helped grow his image of the "rockstar boyfriend" for people to desire. I think this was also largely encourage through more frequent online discussions of how hot Louis is. Something that wasn't really commonly a part of fandom discussion prior to 2020. Whereas for Harry, it has always been a part of discussion, because it's always been how he has been marketed.

*Overall I think this is rapidly changing, and we've already seen it in how Louis' fanbase has changed through FITF. I don't think the fandom at large will have this dynamic for long, as it grows and changes.

Anyways, this is my opinion. If others have a different opinion or would like to contribute, feel free to share.

On a starlit night

“Then… then, what is your motive?” “Must I have one?” Louis scoffed. “What, so am I to believe you just woke up one day and thought ‘Yeah actually, I would like to be one of the suitors of my pack Luna’s ceremony’?” “There’s no motive, nothing like you��re thinking,” Harry replied, glancing at him. “I don’t know what the alphas out there want. I just want a chance to show that I can be a good alpha that can fulfil your needs, both as your mate as well as in supporting you in your Luna duties. Just a chance to show you how well I could care for you, if you were to pick me.” Louis was floored by his sincerity. “That’s all you want? Just that?” Just me? “Yeah.” Or, omega and future Luna Louis is holding a mating ceremony to find his mate, but what he doesn’t expect to see amongst the alphas vying for his hand, is a familiar, yet unexpected face: Harry Styles.

Vein: Heartbeats and Hideaways

Harry didn't know what to expect from nesting, he had never done it before and the first time had not gone as he had hoped. The blanket circle was one of the new additions he had and he just wanted to make a good nest, with a good structure and a warm inside. Only the first use didn't happen as he had expected.

Or, where Harry just wants to nest properly, Louis is too comprehensive and the nest got dirty too quickly.

“Harry's eyes narrowed, but he started to whimper and nodded his head. Louis' cheek was very close, and he scraped the tips of his fangs there and closed his jaw. He felt a mixture of relief as he did so, as if the simple act of anchoring his fangs to a surface brought him unexpected comfort.

Louis felt the light pressure of Harry's fangs on his cheek and froze, the sharp pain that his omega's bite was causing him extraordinary discomfort. He lowered his eyes as he felt a liquid trickle down his neck, it was his blood, falling in a nasty river over the omega's mouth that wouldn't let go. They were bonded"

Louis is an omega who's just completed his criminal justice degree and hoping to get into the alpha-dominated field of police work. He's spent four years hiding his secondary gender in fear that he'll not be taken seriously, or worse, not be able to continue with his chosen career path. After his summer internship is complete, he has plans to move to a more progressive city, where his secondary gender won't be an issue. He goes home to finally relax and spend the last summer with his mother and sisters before he moves and finds that his younger sister has a new best friend - a gorgeous alpha named Harry. With the singer-songwriter alpha in the house hanging around all summer long, Louis has to work even harder to keep his secondary gender hidden, which means drastic measures have to be taken. It certainly doesn't help that Harry is friendly, flirtatious, and extremely tactile...

Gina, I went through your denials tag because Louis' interview from last year has been driving me mad. I'm so glad to see you being rational about it - larry is not about us anymore, there's no reason to talk about it except PR, and honestly if there are fans who chase after him and his family about larry I understand why he's annoyed. I wish we could get back the Louis we all knew and loved, you know? This laddy bro pal who loves his kid and only his kid is not the Louis I fell in love with?

Yeah. I totally understand why it’s annoying. Even if they started out wanting the world to know, it’s spun out in a way they never could have imagined when they were teenagers. I wish fans would be a bit more sensitive to the fact that these are real people, but fan culture is so bizarre.

As for Louis’ image. I have hope that now that he’s not touring, that stuff will fade into the background. I just want him to be taking care of himself right now. Liam’s death must have hit him really, really hard. When he’s ready to get back into the world, I’m really looking heard to seeing what he does next. 🩷

I know that tablet guardians (Larry x ahk) is pretty popular, but I feel like Larry x kah would be the funnier pairing, not only seeing how they’d get past the smithsonian battle but also their development of feelings.

To me their dynamic is this one audio

Larry: you are the most repulsive man I’ve ever met

Kah: I throw my used car batteries into the ocean

Kah: where the fuck am I-

After a failed proposal a few years back, Louis gets an unexpected invitation to his ex — Harry’s — wedding.

Safe place to hide us away

Written by @lunarheslwt for @comfortficfest

“My pup,” Louis cooed, equally affectionate and protective. Tender eyes flitted all over Harry’s curled-up form, till they stopped back at his eyes. He was quiet, tentative, as he asked, “Can I get in, baby?” Harry sucked in a sharp breath, gaping at Louis while half wondering if he was making this up in his head. His mouth moved noiselessly as he processed Louis’ words. Louis was … he was asking … “Can I … come into your nest, pup?” Harry was helpless to not stare, mind reeling. Out of all the possibilities and worst-case scenarios he had ruminated on night after night as he lay in his shame drenched nest, this simply wasn’t one of them. And yet, here Louis was. He had stayed. Still loved him. And was even asking permission to come into the pile of clothes that he called a nest. Or, weighed down by everyday stress, alpha Harry takes up nesting in secret. It takes a load of missing clothes and unravelling lies for him to realise that his omega would love and accept him no matter what.

Sweeter Than I Ever Knew - written for the OmegaVerseFicFest

5+1 Omega Harry/OMC and Harry/Louis - see tags for pairings, Larry endgame

Rated Explicit | 32K

Harry has spent his heats alone since he's presented, but his roommate, Niall, is convinced that he needs to try out The Agency - an app that lets alphas and omegas partner for heats. Unsure, he signs up and goes through 5 heats with different alphas. Some are good experiences, others are awful. But, in the end, he finds that his heats with the right alpha can be sweeter than he ever knew.

3 or 9 for kitty larry >:] haiii waves waves

HIIII hehehe!! i made a little [kind of long] chart for this one since i figured it'd be easier than a wall of text ^__^ 3: How do other characters generally feel about your self insert?

larry's generally pretty inoffensive, if a bit lazy. most people are more enthused by the whole cat-soul deal than they are her actual personality, which she doesnt mind, because it gives her more excuses to take advantage of going kitty mode and getting free attention. but the people who Do enjoy his company + personality tend to like their humor the most.

outside of these guys ive already outlined that theyre dekapan + dayon's weird little roommate/assistant; they all get along quite well but i left them off this chart because well. im lazy.

9: Who are your self insert's closest friends?

Larry's a bit of a floater, but I think it would spend the most time with parka [both as a duo and the individual brothers], as well as dekadayo as previously mentioned. i can also see them and chibita having a bit of playful banter... he would scold her for only picking the fishcakes out when eating oden LOL she is also friends with all the other ocs and self inserts who will have her ☝ because love makes the world go round!!!
