Louis about the theory of him dating Harry.

Sharing this because is a matter of time everyone will see the video [São Paulo, g1, posted 08.04.24]

[alarrytale]

It’s the way he’s so weird about the denials for me personally. If he had just handled it like “haha yeah Harry’s a great guy but we’re just buds. Anyway!” But instead he’s been aggressive and angry about it. For someone who has never come across as homophobic to me the anger makes me pause like “hang on what’s got you so upset?” Maybe if I were in his position and there was truly nothing going on I’d get tired and snappy, who can know? But anytime someone has asked me if I’m involved with someone I’m not and I’ve answered honestly if they don’t believe me it’s not my issue anymore. Think what you like, thinking it doesn’t make it any more true, you know? I can’t ever imagine digging my heels in that hard over something made up. Unless maybe it’s not so made up. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hi, anon!

You hit the nail on the head with that last sentence. There really is no need for him to be so aggressive, accusatory, finger pointing, mocking and cruel in his way of dealing with fans thinking him and H are a couple. It makes him sound homophobic and insecure in his own sexuality. Celebrities get shipped with other people all the time. It's part of being a celebrity. If you ignore it, don't feed into it, and act normal about it, it will eventually go away. Louis has done none of these things.

The only celebrities, that i know of, who's done equally as harsh and cruel denials of being queer is Shawn and Billie. And look at them now.

I still remember the longing and thirsty looks across the stage, the grazing of the hands, the brushing of the thighs, the craving for that contact that makes you feel like you exist, like you actually make sense, despite the image of you people have in their heads.

I cannot unsee all of that, it is not much the use of colours, the shirts they wear or the lyrics change. It is what I recognise gave me life when I was closeted and couldn’t be open in my love with my partner who was there, next to me, within easy reach.

I can also see this denial as out of place, at an odd moment, looking very much planned but honestly creating more issues for him compared to the ones they thought it may have resolved. There is a reason why H avoids these types of questions and why he just keeps concentrating on his career and ignoring the rest.

If it is just part of the job, why giving it so much thought- I have got many ideas about it, but maybe this is not the time and the place to spell them out.

Someone told me that they probably broke up and he is tired to hear stories about them. I could argue with that, coz if I had ended it with my partner I wouldn’t want to keep bringing our relationship up.

Also as a denial it was very much similar to others he has done in the past and it comes quite late - let’s be honest, as he mentioned, anything he says won’t make much of a difference at this stage. It may piss some veteran larries off and some members the community, but there will be new ones taking their place, some of them possibly more focussed on the theories because less disillusioned than a Larrie who has been a fan for a while.

They are definitely at a different stage in their relationship, they are more mature, more disingenuous and possibly more at ease with their sexuality. As a result they possibly need us less, we could be seen as a hindrance- but in my head and in my heart it doesn’t cancel the reason why I got here in the first place.

I know that they still needs support in their closet and I may be not vocal in theorising if they are still together or if they will come out - and at the end of the day it is their life and they don’t owe us anything- but I will keep enjoying their music, supporting them as artists and be here for them as members of my community, independently from their relationships.

I am truly not perfect though, so if I hide in the corner to lick my wounds and look for the strength to go again, I am sure it is perfectly normal. And I would like to see some kindness on the sm - different people may deal with situations like this in different ways, so let’s not judge or shame someone just because they didn’t react as you would have.

Don’t tell them how they should feel, what they should do, because what is right and works for you doesn’t mean that is right and would work equally effectively for someone else.

Louis has denied Larry once again!

Interviewer: Many people believe in the theory of you dating Harry Styles even though you describe this theory as ridiculous. Why is this conspiracy so famous?

Louis: What's tough is I've realised - I realised this some years ago - there is nothing I can say, nothing I can do to dispel that conspiracy. They are so intertwined with what they believe to be the truth now they won't actually see the truth for what it is.

I'd be lying if I - it does irritate me a little bit but it's just the nature of the job, I suppose. There are times when it gets a little bit far too personal within that whole space.

I've got my son Freddie; he's the most important person in my life. Occasionally, you know it kind of broaches some stuff that is kind of really unfair. It kind of just is this thing that exists now. There's nothing I can do about it, nothing I can say about it to stop people making up what they want to make up. So, so be it (shrugs)

[seasurfacefullofclouds1]

Just following on from your anon about Freddie etc. I truly don’t understand why the bbg Larries think that in order for Larry to have been real at one point or whatever then Freddie can’t be Louis son. It makes no sense. Like what the hell has Louis having a son have to do with Larry???! They are always the ones crying calling everyone homophobic yet they are constantly denying bisexuality or that any other sexuality exists at all when it comes to Louis. The bottom line is we don’t know and will never will know but for the internet in general to make two lanes one being Freddie isn’t Louis and Larry was or is real and the other being Louis is a deadbeat and homophobic is so ridiculous. Freddie IS Louis’ son and Larry could still have been real at one point in the early band days. What these insane Larries don’t seem to understand is that if they weren’t so insane and nasty Louis most likely wouldn’t even comment on Larry. He literally only does it to defend his son. Like in the last interview he mentioned Freddie and said that when it gets “a bit too personal like with my son Freddie” that’s when it annoys him. If Larries had left Louis’ family and son alone then Louis wouldn’t mention Larry at all he wouldn’t confirm or deny, he just wouldn’t talk about it, just like Harry currently does.

lol anon, Larries aren’t the only ones who think this way. Some solo Louies believe the same thing. Any suggestion that he could have had sex with a woman makes these fans incredibly angry (ask them). The bi-erasure is spot on.

It’s deranged for fans to feel this entitled over a celebrity’s sex life, to bully Louis or other fans into agreeing to what Louis “should be.”

Whenever I read that “2012 was the last time Louis could be himself,” I can’t help but think these fans believe Louis is a comic book character whose key characteristics can be jotted on an index card: “twink,” “sassy,” “flamboyant,” etc. Sometimes when I see adult women carrying 1D Louis or Harry dolls to concerts, i wonder what’s going on in their heads. They’re watching a 32-year-old musician on stage but they wish he’d go back to being 18?

To be fair, I think Harry has blacklisted 1D and Larry questions, and people respect his demands. With Louis, it’s a balance of wanting to crow about his beloved band and defend himself and Freddie. After Liam’s passing, I wouldn’t be surprised if Louis blacklists this topic.

Gemma was sitting at home thinking why the fuck his weird brother didn't just clarify it's about her. 😂

[flopitardz]

any artist in the wardrobe or out of the closet would kill to have a fan base as committed as larries; who wouldn't feel like a god knowing that they would fight for you and with you. And if they're really playing with that, larrybanting, it's horrible. It reminds me of the audio from a few years ago saying he could finally talk to real fans… and that if he denied larry he would be left with no fans. I think the way to run out of fans would be to use them. The fans are going to get tired of supporting and supporting, and are sick of having to put up with stuns, beards, etc and to top it all off being called childish conspiracists, as if it's all just made up for no reason and nonsense. If it started as a game and got out of control, you have to own it. If it was real and you don't want it to be known don't keep giving out signs and codings and feeding all that and then humiliating the fans who read those signs/codings.

This is such a good point!!

If Larry news is getting so much traction maybe Harry and Louis could date each other for PR reasons.

[alarrytale]

Remember when an interviewer asked Louis & Liam if they kissed on stage and they were very chill and funny about it? So the larry denials look even more out of place.

Hi, anon!

Lol, yeah i remember! I can't access this link because i'm not on tiktok. So here is a pic instead.

The larry denials are so out of character and he always looks stressed and manic when doing them on camera. The chicken denial was even the wrong chicken so Louis_Tomlinson just looks foolish, insecure and ready to pounce on anything remotely suggesting he's in a relationship with Harry lol. Meanwhile he acted fine after the lilo kiss and talked about it no problem.

The denials have little effect on us larries nowadays. If you've survived one of them, you'll survive the rest. It's always hurtful though, because it brings us so much additional hate. But i'm usually like "whatever" *continues reading fic about Louis sucking H off*.

[rainbowlarentsblog]

All the major tabloids and magazines were ready to publish articles on it, as they did with the chicken conspiracy tweet. It was planned and there will be others.

Even the lgbtq press published the same news. They want the message to be loud and clear and beyond reasonable doubt.

If I was less disillusioned I would believe something was around the corner bound to happen

[larrywerelastseeninthesameroom]

How long has it been since Louis and Harry were last seen in the same room at the same time?

It has been ZERO (0) days.

[moodstabilizr]

there is no hetero explanation to anything louis tomlinson and harry styles have done

[awesomefringey]

Hello Sabine! I have only recently (~half a year ago) joined this fandom, and I have a question regarding people around HL reacting to/speaking about Larries. From old posts I've seen, it used to happen a lot that their relatives or other people like Liam would speak really bad about Larries on SM, even way into the hiatus when they were not with Modest anymore. But ever since I joined, I have not seen one single interaction like that, but more rather things like Gemma's recent story, which seems like they are now even giving subtle hints (of course we don't know if it's meant like that). Do you have an estimate when it was that the Larrie thrashing stopped? Or can you give me a recommendation who on Tumblr would have documented stuff like this and would know? Thanks a lot!! :-)

Welcome to the hell hole, nonnie! 😄💜

I didn’t track all the times people have denied Larry or talked shit about Larries. But it’s fair to say over the course of 1D and beyond, Larries have always been an easy target.

Gemma called people/larries in the comment section of her IG ‘mental’ at some point because they kept flooding her posts about Larry proof. And last year, she debunked old tweets as fake. But I wouldn’t call either Larry denials per se. She just pushed back on Larries quite a bit especially when she was used to back up any theories, which is absolutely fair. See a wonderful and enlightening comment on her motivation here.

Of course, Zayn’s Larry/Ziam denial, and him accusing fans for forcing Larry to show no affection, which was back in 2015.

I remember Liam denying Larry when he was asked by a fan a few years back. I mean, what do people expect him to say? 🤦🏼‍♀️

And well, in 2017, Louis’ “there’s genuinely seriously obviously no truth to it” when asked about the Larry organisation and I couldn’t have asked for a better Larry denial. 😂

Maybe Lou Teasdale was the last one to cackle about Larries during a podcast episode she was invited to back in 2020. Her and Eleanor’s IG and snapchats were involved in a Larrie investigation after Louis’ and Harry’s voice could be heard in the background. I bet she’s never had that much interest in her account before but with the podcast she made sure, people were reminded that she was an idiot.

But beyond that - I don’t know… 🤔

@skepticalarrie @daisiesonafield-blog @twopoppies Do you have tags for Larry denials tags for this nonnie?
