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'.

I have nothing to add to this. Perfect one shot, very IC. 10/10.

waitwait you're in podcasts now? Congrats!(?)

Thank! I've been in three so far!

-guest on Actual Play podcast Three of Hearts (I'm a guest many many episodes in and tbh you should listen regardless because it is so good and so nice to hear three people who are very clearly friends create a world together. It feels collaborative and genuine in a way that i don't think I really have seen that often in Actual Play shows)(they are on here as @threeheartscast ). It was so fun to play my extremely time blind elven gun witch and just chatting with Jordan, Essay, and Ila.

-background voice in an episode of sci fi anthology series Breathing Space (episode is in Season 4 and I will be in more foreground roles in future eps hooray!) (on here as @breathingxspace from podcast group @lawofnamesmedia ) which has been just amazing and a little surreal for me as someone who fucking loves audio dramas (i was like Leo Pointing Meme for like a week after i joined the server).

-Let's Get Weird About with Scott Paladin so if youve ever wanted to know what I sound like or how truly so genuinely much I talk (it's a lot) I'm gonna link the ep here and will edit to add if theres a tumblr account for that as well bc i just realized i dont know. We talked about 2010 movie Bunraku as well as uh a few other things.

I have recorded parts for other stuff that hasnt dropped yet as well! Including more (actually foreground) roles in Breathing Space and a role in an episode of upcoming water-themed horror anthology Waterlogged! (WaterloggedPod on twitter, also from Law of Names)

You should share some of your recent favorite reddie aus :))

ABSOLUTELY!! im so sorry this took a little long, i was thinking it thru.

my recent fav aus:

@strangesickness has a brilliant swimming au for the losers and im obsessed with it. i didnt even do competitive swimming as a kid. i just love how hes translated the characters to the au.

@t4tozier has a very delightful little summer camp au over on ao3 here. i love camp aus (maybe because i never really experienced them? i did do school camps but they felt different to how americans seem to experience these camps, lmao). also theres a werewolf and wheres theres a werewolf theres a connor wolftozier lbr

i love magical aus so @missed-retro's witch eddie was very enjoyable. also. again. werewolves.

@panties-on-boys has a glee au i really liked- ive never watched glee but the fic was wonderful! and very beginner friendly to someone who only knows of glee thru recent social media memes.

its not reddie YET but @chiniichee's spiderman eddie au, especially bc im like. deep into my spiderman phase rn. im reading comics. im watching the sixties cartoon. its a disease. the fic is really good loved it a bunch. scratches that itch for me.

also my barely thought out changeling richie au <3 it has sat in my word document for months <3 maggie n went wanting a child so bad that it attracts the interest of fairies who want to feel that love so bad so they swap the toziers baby with one of their own (richie). who can shapeshift just enough to fit in with them but is always a little Off in acting and looking human.

also i legally have to say my own werewolf richie au. bc i posted 1 screenshot of it and made my best friend so sad over pathetic werewolf richie she sends me a message every time i post something abt werewolves begging me to let eddie give richie flowers. its a little funny. i love u dreams <3 no1 pathetic werewolf richie supporter <3

[lover-of-mine]

New here! Why do I keep seeing people say that they’ve tried to separate Buck and Eddie before?

Hello!! I can't find the interviews about it right now, so I'm gonna talk about it from a viewer's perspective. Here's the thing, during s5, there was a decrease in buddie's screentime, but it wasn't as noticeable because the quality we got with Eddie's breakdown arc, makes the fact that we are not getting that many casual interactions less pointed. But then we moved to 6a, and, seriously, we were in a DROUGHT. They were barely interacting on the show, and fox was definitely not big on promoting the show, so we weren't getting a lot of buddie. There are barely any memorable scenes during that season, we mostly only had the dinner scene in 601, even though there were plotlines where it wouldve made sense to make them talk, like the sperm donation or Chris lying to Eddie. In 6b had a lot more buddie with the lightning arc, but that got cut out again after 615. Between s6 and s7 there was a lot of speculation on whether or not the show was about to permanently separate them, because it felt like it was the direction they were going. But then the network switch and Tim coming back happened. Tim talked about how separating them hurt the show in the past, I think in relation to the space season 6 created, and season 7 happened with a lot more buddie than we are used to, there is at least one buddie moment every episode and that was new. Tim also talked about how it is a core part of the show and how it is important to him to write them and that he has fun with it. But they basically tried to separate them, and it hurt their numbers, so they turned around and said "no space here, no sir" and smashed them back together like nothing happened.

Mayhaps some birdflash for pride? 👉👈

I’m glad you approve of my ‘Binghe wishes not to be a half-demon and gets stuck in a terrible catch 22 situation’ idea!

It’s very fortunate that Shen Qingqiu doesn’t actually hate Heavenly Demons at all. When Shen Qingqiu inevitably gets into some trouble that he can’t escape, and Binghe speed runs his demonic corruption he can go save him, of course Shizun will still love him!

I was thinking about what sort of Heavenly Official the original heavenly demon was, and had the sudden, brilliant, idea that they were the Ling Wen of the PIDW heavens. In other words, the head of heavenly logistics and paperwork. 😂

First, that means that Binghe would be stuck in more or less the same role as Shang Qinghua, which is hilarious. Like father, like son, no?

Second, if anyone in the heavens is going to be susceptible to ‘murderous rage’ heart demons (which seems to be what Heavenly Demons suffer from), I think the poor soul in charge of logistics is it!

I wonder if Binghe’s fall could make him a slightly different flavor of Heavenly Demon, since he’d be succumbing to obsession heart demons, not the murderous rage sort. 🤔

binghe grumbling under his breath, carrying a tower of babel-sized pile of scrolls, because the higher ups found out he was shizun’s over-qualified secretary in life and now he has to somehow prevent his only remaining boss from dying so he can avoid the responsibility of taking over himself.

he didn’t even want to be here! who do these people think they are?! of course, he can’t do a sloppy job. it would reflect badly on shizun! curse it all.

what do you mean the huan hua palace master imprisoned shen qingqiu?! and you’re telling me this as an aside during a fucking meeting? MOVE

and thus, they are reunited.

i think it would be funny if tianlang-jun would actually want to take binghe’s job. they swap so binghe can get to his shizun (and prevent him from, somehow, transferring his soul into a mushroom?? where does his shiun even get these ideas!!) he maybe finds su xiyan there.

YESSSSSS GOD SPY BINGHE LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO

[joeloverture]

why are you promoting fatness? your fics are good but you should not pander to fat people because they are gross. i’m confused, i thought you were one of the good writers and not one of the annoying ones who think fat people are pretty.

hi! thank you so much for the compliment. i'm filled with horrific dread to have to report to you that the fics that you've been "petting the cat" to are, in fact, written by a "gross" and "annoying" woman! this rare, little known fact may surprise you — but fat people can be good writers.

would you mind sending me your @ so i can block you? based on the quality of writing and brain power sampled in this ask, you're clearly too young to be interacting with my blog.

[jakexneytiri]

can you just imagine a tiny lo'ak following around a tiny neteyam and tugging on his tail like a baby elephant with its mama :( baby lo'ak idolizing his big brother :(

baby lo'ak going, "i wanna be a warrior like teyam!" 😭😭😭 and baby neteyam going, "i wanna be like dad when i grow up!" 😭😭😭😭 GOOD LORD

okay. this is an ask i can get behind 🥹🥹

i’m such a simp for @zestys-stuff so i’m just gonna include this adorable art they created 🥰 (it’s not a mini neteyam and lo’ak, but their personalities are very similar)
