Those who don't simply tune out sports related tweets may have noticed an increasing number of distressed posts from Niall about his beloved lifelong football club Derby County and thought "what the hell is going on... oh whatever I don't care enough to look it up." Well that's my bat signal! I am here for you! So here ya go: the club (or team, in american parlance, but it isn't quite the same? but close enough for now) is bankrupt and in serious debt; if they do not find a buyer very soon (like, in the next 2 to 3 weeks), the entire club and team could cease to exist which would be extremely sad for Niall, an entire region of England, and kind of just in general too. Derby County are literally one of the first football teams to exist, like in the world, they were one of the 12 teams who formed the league in which they still play! They shouldn't simply cease to exist just because some shitty capitalists screwed them over!
Anyway back to the fandom, everyone's big question of the moment is: Niall is a rich guy, his favorite team needs a rich guy to step up and buy them, so if he cares so much why doesn't he just do it? The answer is, he's not THAT rich. The net worth of the club (which even in its current very depleted state is, as mentioned above, a big one) is pretty close to Niall’s entire personal net worth, and Derby's cost could be considered quite a lot more if you add in their £83 million of debt. We wouldn’t be a fandom if we didn’t stubbornly believe our faves could do anything at all, but as entertaining as team owner!Niall would be- we’re gonna have to buy a hell of a lot of Heartbreak Weather merch before it’s a realistic option for him.

Zayn, who recently posted some new music for fans on social media without formally releasing it and may or may not be with a label currently, was in Vogue today and the article closed with this; “Malik says his next big project will be getting back in the studio to finish that much-anticipated forthcoming album. “I’m always writing and recording. I’m currently working on my next record,” he says. “I plan to release this album differently than I’ve done before, so it is exciting.” And no, there is no release date as of yet—you’ll have to keep waiting.”

Zayn’s tweet-- “DadBod logic”- is a song rec for a rapper named Logic. It’s a song about loving being a new father and being out of the game; “Used to be up to date on that rap political shit/ But nowadays I'm up to my elbows/ And every single inch of my body in my baby's shit/ I could tell you more about diapers than modern rappers in cyphers.... Don't do hard drugs or beat my wife/ But the paparazzi still wanna start shit/ I don't answer their questions, I leave 'em in the dark, bitch...” and much much more. Guess Zayn found something about it relatable ;)

Hey everyone- I am very sorry to have to tell you that I /the discourseoftheday blog will be going on hiatus, effective immediately. Will I be back with daily updates, you ask, and if so when? I genuinely have no idea, but I have enjoyed doing the blog a lot so it’s possible. If so I don’t know when though; could be a short time, or a long time, or maybe I’ll return in exactly 18 months just to flex on One Direction. Faith in the future? In the meantime, while the detail of the day roundups are suspended indefinitely, I expect to pop up with the occasional commentary or explainer, and lucky for you all there are loads of hardworking people scouring the internet for content and keeping the regular update accounts running on a daily basis. You’ll be fine, just remember the golden rules of figuring out what’s really going on- click through to the source or check the notes and tags for info, just google things, and if it came from tiktok or deuxmoi it’s something someone straight up made up; it might be true just by luck, but no real reason to think so.
All the love, June ‘21

Louis tweeted Opinions about football, and a little “hope everyone has a good day” too, but one can’t help but feel that by “everyone” he meant “the England team and fans” and by “has a good day” he meant “win” but good news, they DID have a good day! So we can look forward to more pictures of Louis’ jerseys and general fanboying from him, what with the team making in through to the next stage, nice. Liam posted from in the thick of in-person Euros excitement, at Wembley for the big game- in his video he’s arriving (all masked up and hanging out with his hairstylist) and is excited because Drag Me Down happened to be playing, how cool is that? Love it! People who think Louis is in Italy with Harry now think so even more what with him seemingly choosing to just give going to the game in person a miss. Could be! Or maybe he WAS there or perhaps he’s just not comfortable being in a huge crowd of people, god knows I’m not; anyway we just do not know. Niall joined an all star roster who signed onto an artists letter taking a position against anti-LGBT legislation in the U.S. and supporting the addition of sexual orientation and gender identity (and a few other updates) to the Civil rights Act. And the Adore You video is up for two awards for excellence in ad campaigns, including one for Fan Engagement/ Community Building, plus Harry was nominated for a British LGBT+ award simply for being Harry Styles, which seems right.

Louis checked in to see how we were (“How's everyone doing?”) and chat; he said he’s doing good, he’s “**excited” for the England game tomorrow and is watching “pretty much” every Euros match (that’s a lot!) but the “weather is shit” (“it’s England love. Rainy.”), and that he’s got the first of his two vaccine shots. He also followed Irish indie band Inhaler, who have a new album coming out pretty soon.
Bowen Yang, of Sara Lee SNL sketch fame, spoke about Harry and that piece. He talked about himself and sketch co-writer Julio Torres writing together, how they were “so easily able to write things that were just very, very, very queer, but not be concerned about it. He really taught me- and I internalized this idea- that you don’t really have to explain to the audience what this means” and Harry coming along and Yang being like well HE gets it. “The moment that I think is so important is that… Harry is just quietly flipping through it, the sketch, in my office and laughing. And I was like, OK, I think he got it. I think he’s on board. From there, I think it was all up to him,” he said, plus “he very wonderfully fought for it to go in the show, and he was just so good, and he took the note that Julio had for him: You should not be indignant; you should be like a little embarrassed and ‘sad puppy’ about it. And he took that note so well!” He DID! And he WAS just so good! What a classic… someday it’s gonna be the year like 2035 or w/e and Harry will be out and newbies in the fandom will be writing confused anons (because while the rest of the internet will be all different apps, tumblr will still be circulating the same 20 ‘heritage’ posts in the same format) like wait you’re saying the Sara Lee sketch was while he was still closeted? I don’t understand?? Bowen Yang would agree btw; here’s the interview segue to the Harry chat... “do you think Judy [gay male character of Yang’s] is a blouse? Yeah, I think he’s a blouse. So, a feminine top. Well, I was going to say that I think he is also a skilled bottom. And so I think he’s also a blouse and a flowery, billowy skirt! So speaking of Harry Styles… Yes, Harry…” WELL. Anyway our fave femme boy also won three categories in the Brazilian SEC awards including international male artist and fandom of the year.
And Niall posted to remind us to check out the stripped down Our Song- “The acoustic version of ‘Our Song‘ is special. This string arrangement!” You heard it here! We do love us some strings behind Niall’s voice, truly a winning combo.

Happy Father’s Day- or maybe not if you’re among the many, MANY people who have reason not to find that much cause for celebration. Certainly not all of our guys feel the need to publicly engage with this holiday (in fact not one of them posted about it themselves), but there is a wee smattering of secondhand content; Gigi won by a mile with an actual picture of Zayn and Khai! He’s snuggling her and holding her in front of an illuminated globe, both of their faces mostly obscured, and she captioned it “Our Khai is so lucky to have a baba who loves her so much & does anything to see her smile!! @zayn Happy first Father’s Day, I’m so grateful for all the lil bits of her that are you.” Aside from that, siblings coming through; Niall’s brother posted an (old) picture of them with their dad, and Austin Clark posted a pic with Freddie labeled “lil bro,” HAHA.
Deuxmoi said Niall is in New York, but was that his girlfriend Amelia’s hand seen on (London based) Horan cousin Deo’s insta story seductively massaging a chicken carcass? <whatisthetruth.gif>

Niall and Louis tweeted about football (“keep the faith!”- Louis’ ability to be over the top inspirational about pretty mundane events remains unparalleled) and LOUIS USED AN EMOJI stop the presses when was the last time we saw that, WHAT IS THIS 2015 (my ability to overreact to mundane events also remains intact TYVM!) Niall, not so dramatic as Louis and myself but definitely not shy with the emoji use, simply felt that today’s match was a “proper game of football,” but emphasized that with an exploding head emoji.
Liam boxed in the great outdoors (and we got video) and Hugo posted cute father’s day content about him and his dad- he answers some yes/ no questions about their relationship, somewhat astonishingly choosing ‘no’ for the question of whether they’d ever gone to a concert together. I guess he doesn’t count ones he’s played?
Harry Lambert said “I never want it to feel like he’s wearing a costume, I never want to feel like something is wearing him. We’re not doing it for lols — it should feel like part of the performance or part of the whole, you know?” and “it’s always been, it sounds cheesy to say, heavenly” about dressing Harry, and lots more pics of Harry definitely not wearing a costume (or much of anything) in Italy were posted.
Eleanor followed up yesterday’s post of her “watching the football game with Louis” aka the biggest most obvious blunder she’s made since… well, last time, with another hilarious nod at the fact that they never actually see each other except when they’re getting pics taken for public consumption… and possibly not even then! In the footie post Louis could be heard in the background but despite the emojis which, well there is literally no other way to understand them but as suggesting they were watching the game, the footage was definitively, indisputably, without any question or doubt, identifiable as being from when they went to Nizam’s wedding last month, ie the only time they’ve hung out in months and months. LMAO WHOOPS. Not QUITE as good but definitely on the same theme IMO, she then posted a throwback to being in Ibiza dated August 2019. That was a very brief stay there her and Louis allegedly enjoyed after his festival appearance- but the only pics of them from it were at the airport in LONDON when she got back, causing many to wonder if Louis was ever there at all (my kind of throwback, love remembering that, hilarious!) The fact that he isn’t in the pic she posted today certainly won’t change any minds about that, and if she had pics of him there it sure seems like she’d be using them today…
And in (even more) fandom discourse news, author Kaitlyn Tiffany is back if anyone wants to block her; I guess she had just privated her blog for a bit, not deleted. Do it now is my advice. I hope she’s enjoying coming up with ways to explain why Eleanor is pretending that old footage was current when her and Louis oBviOUslY live together and see each other every day, but perhaps she’s a fan of the UA that helpfully explained that Eleanor posted that hotel footage “to show how she feels about football,” HAHAHA WHAT. This is about the level of analysis I expect from her upcoming book so it would be fitting...

Louis cheered on England- he posted ANOTHER vintage England jersey (that’s one we’ve seen him wear) and a pretty straightfoward “COME ON ENGLAND!!!” Then he continued his animal naming suggestion streak- cause yes who wouldn’t want to name their cat Gareth! (Pretty sure he’s referencing England team manager Gareth Southgate here.) Anyway even the official UEFA account wanted more Louis then that, and got him to make a score prediction- “2-0 England” he said, loyal as can be, and the official England account weighed in appreciate the positivity. Well he was half right anyway; the final score was 0-0.
Liam, with some kind of Lonely Bug swag in the background tucked in next to his toaster and other kitchen stuff, showed us where his new house’s ceiling is leaking, oh NO, and complained that so far it does not seem that blonds have more fun. But he did post video WITH BEAR (“Father’s day has started”), that’s super rare! Bear remains unseen but you can hear him off camera, which Liam keeps on himself; they’re talking cookies and toys.
Our Song acoustic is out! “WOW I love this song so much!!! We stripped it back to how the song started. Just guitar and two voices. Hope you enjoy x” said Niall. His golf company has also signed on to support the English under 18 championships which will “see boys and girls competing together for the first time, in the same championship, for a single trophy,” so I’m sure we’ll be hearing more about that.
Meanwhile Harry posed sexily under an outdoor shower in Italy.

Liam posted video from his run this morning, with pal Conor and a picture of… his new blond hair?! It’s TRUE, he really did it!! None of this Niall business (see below), when Liam teases a thing he goes right ahead and DOES THAT THING, love that for us. He said, “after such an incredible day with the art launch I felt the courage,” and “I was very nervous but I love it,” and “discord chat made me do it,” haha. Remembering him talking about wanting to bleach his hair in the past but being told he wasn’t allowed by management, this is a happy day! Go Liam. Fans flipped and his blond hair trended and Liam posted a shirtless blond bedtime video to say thanks for all the love.
And as for that art launch, well: continuing the ongoing theme of me being confused about Liam’s NFTs (I do like to be consistent) I guess he DID post all of it for us to see SORRY I thought those were previews or something? I DON’T KNOW I’M SORRY MY BAD. You would really think they would have made a bigger deal about that? Well; there was a lot going on. Anyway so the different ones ARE posted to his insta (or uh copies of them which is a whole thorny philosophical debate isn’t it, whether copies are or aren’t different than the versions one can own, it all depends on your view of NFTs) but ANYWAY we CAN see the Lonely Bug content and it’s poignant and very pretty honestly. The one of the bug trying and failing to rest while camera shutters and flashes click continuously in the background especially is really intense. APOLOGIES LIAM for my mistake, ugh.
Niall is making rash promises for if Our Song hits number one, only this time for Anne Marie instead of himself- he said she’d do a “live sky dive on tiktok”! Promises promises, but it was Ashe who gave the fans the content we want today; she not only posted shirtless Niall video to celebrate 1 year of their collab version of Moral of the Story, but also goofy rehearsal footage and, my personal favorite, Niall with an American accent impersonating a news anchor reporting on election returns! LOL. Anne Marie had a pretty competitive offer, saying Niall would get a TATTOO (live on tiktok) but that was simply too much to even kid about for Niall- “Ok jokes over. Just a number 1 would be nice,” he said.
And a ‘For Your Emmys Consideration’ ad uses a picture of Harry’s Grammys performance which raises all kinds of fascinating questions- would it be a special kind of EGOT if someone got the Emmy for getting a Grammy?? Way to streamline the process if that was what was going on, but sad news, the Emmy would actually go to Ben Winston for the broadcast, not to Harry: ugh. Liam, who unlike me actually likes Ben Winston, commented on the post “love this… my two guys couldn’t be more proud”, and Niall liked the post.

My Policeman shooting is WRAPPED, for real this time it seems; both the book’s author and Emma Corrin said so, plus Harry was seen leaving Venice. Emma posted some real cute set pics with Harry and others (and edited herself into the end of shoot pics from Venice, HA). As mentioned, Harry was seen wrapping up his stay in Venice, and I do mean SEEN- with a huge crowd of fans on hand there are about one million pics of him loading his bags onto the boat and being motored away. He waved to the crowds and said hi and all that, and took a couple close up fan pics (but how did those particular fans out of so many get so lucky? by breaking into his hotel grounds, that’s how :/) and signed (and dated) some stuff. He looked real cute in white trousers and shoes and a very cool vintage-y shirt with his beloved blue bandana sticking out of the shirt pocket. Also in his hotel (but as paying guests, one assumes), Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry- Harry was seen hanging out in the hotel restaurant with them and playing with their wee tiny baby!
The Lonely Bug NFT sales are also a wrap (I think?? Still vague on the fine details of many parts of this operation...) At the very least we know that the fanciest of Liam’s 6 NFT packages (which included the dinner invite and other things) concluded its auction and it went for $122k! We don’t get to see Liam’s live reaction to the final number though, as that video was one of the things they were selling as an exclusive, but Liam posted a little video thanking everyone for everything throughout the big sale. He seems happy but anticlimactic for us huh? Will the big spenders who now own the art and rights to it show us more or simply hoard it like intangible toilet paper in a theoretical pandemic, I guess only time will tell. Whether or not they share, we certainly haven’t heard the last of the Lonely Bug hype, as they will be adding more extras for the buyers of the tokens they sold and so forth, including possibly selling toys of the bug according to Liam.
A preview of the stripped back version of Our Song (“where it all started”) was posted and much hyping up of the Friday release of it by Niall and Anne Marie is happening, including a contest to win handwritten lyrics to the song (handwritten by WHOM? It does not say; it does say deep in the rules that Anne Marie will sign the 5 copies which I feel like they should have led with but maybe that would spoil the vague-but-unstated-for-legal-reasons suggestion that perhaps, just maybe, her and Niall wrote them. Well let’s hope they’ve found an intern with nice handwriting I guess.)

Venice MP filming is underway, romantic canalside walks and gondola ride are a GO, as seen in pap pics and many (many) videos from fans gathered on site! I’m sure they appreciated all the little sheer polo showing off Harry’s tits, who doesn’t love a good hiddies moment huh? GQ probably did too; they already wrote a whole article about the outfit Harry wore yesterday! But even they can’t say anything better about those shorts than that they look “presentable” LMAO. TAKE THAT corduroy shorts! What about those fans though? Well, they are certainly bringing us plenty of videos- Harry handing co-star David up out of a boat like a sweet gentleman, aww, Harry skipping about between shots, Harry with a lil purse, Harry just trying to live his life and like go eat food when not working, etc etc... maybe folks could take a few steps back? Looks like Harry is really getting hounded through the tiny Venetian streets and on set, by pretty large crowds, to the extent of disrupting filming, oh no. Harry signed a picture for a nearby school-- “stay outrageous”, again dating it (June ‘21) but possibly by the end of the day he was wishing people would not be quite so outrageous.
Meanwhile the antis stuck at home are frothing at the mouth trying to convince larries (or maybe themselves?) that we now ship David and Harry- uh sorry sweaty but having the ability to understand that holding hands for cameras does not have to mean that people are really fucking is actually a pretty major core component of the whole larrie thing?! But good luck with that! It makes sense that seeing Harry acting lovey dovey with someone that they know he isn’t actually sleeping with would throw them in a tizzy though, after all their whole identity is based on denying that’s a thing that’s possible... poor things, baby’s first cognitive dissonance! It can really make you question things huh, and that’s always rough.
But they’re not the only ones with things to say about Harry! Superstar of stage and screen Mandy Patinkin posted video of himself and his wife getting four minutes’ worth of lightning round pop culture trivia questions wrong, but he nails one of em- asked what a Harry song (WS) is about, he remains silent. Well done, that’s just what Harry would have said! And Selma Hayek told a story about Harry coming to her house where her pet owl (who Harry was enthralled with and wanted to hang out with him) regurgitated an owl pellet in his hair! LOL poor Harry; naturally she said he handled it very well and was very sweet. Yes, it’s possible Harry’s interactions with her were because she’s in Marvel’s Eternals; it’s also possible he was at her house because her husband is the head of the company that owns Gucci, or for some other reason entirely.
Liam’s Lonely Bug NFTs went on sale today!! Liam was excited and happy and all over the internet posting and chatting and watching it all happen. The auctions are still open for most of them so final news on that tomorrow! Today was just Liam being hype about it- “Fandom is working its magic thank you!” he said when his request to get LB trending got it up there worldwide in like half an hour, he said more interactive content will be added to the NFTs as time goes on, that Louis cooking was “very funny”, when asked to describe his NFT collection in one word he chose “liberating,” and his hair guy reposted comments Liam has been making in the discord talking about maybe going blond with a “hmmm”. Oooh? He did a long live talking about everything, patching in the other Lonely Bug creators and quite a few other NFT people (enough that at one point Liam jokes that there are enough of them to dress up as the band to satisfy commenters asking for 1D stuff). Anyway one of them compares this NFT to ‘the original Nirvana recordings’ hmmm I mean… that is another thing that is rare I guess yes, but that’s very specific and random sir? “I know for some of you this NFT world is slightly different than what you’re used to from me,” said Liam, “but your support so far has been amazing (as always!)”
And not only that- another new Liam song coming?! We haven’t even got the one yet! (or maybe this is the same one..?) Anyway, school pal S-X (Liam hyped his music a couple weeks ago) talked about him in an interview, saying "Liam is a good friend of mine and we've got stuff coming soon. I don't want to say too much as you know how those One Direction fans get [HEYYYY… oh wait yeah he’s totally right]- when I mention him I can't even open my Twitter. But we've got a song coming and it's a smash. It's sooner than you think and that's all I can say." OH RILLY?? INTERESTING! I was just eyeing him for the artist showcase Liam said he was gonna do on veeps but OKAY! He also said "We're both from Wolverhampton and I was in college with him at the same time, and going from that to global stardom at 17 is not normal for any person. To have toured the world, done stadium tours and everything, he is one of the most famous people in the world. So he will go through scrutiny from the media and whatever, but I can tell you he is one of the nicest people, one of the most genuine people I've ever met. He's a real good friend of mine."
And speaking of unexpected songs; another Zayn demo leak was posted! This time he’s singing You with Ellie Goulding; the song ended up being released by Troye Sivan.
And Anne Marie posted “rehearsals for #OURSONG live! I just love this song so much. I also miss your face @niallhoran” with a picture of them singing away; apparently she’s referring to the recording of the acoustic version which is out on Friday. Niall posted a picture of the Danish football player who collapsed during play the other day giving a thumbs up from the hospital; indeed it is very good to see that he’s all right.

Louis Tomlinson Cooks is here!! Yeah it’s 100% for sure as delightful to watch Louis make himself a sandwich as you might have hoped, but how was his cooking? Well I’ll let Louis rate himself-- “I’m not gonna lie not that appetizing is it, I mean look at it,” he says when it comes time to taste his creation, plus, “chopping peeling slicing not great to be fair- everything else I’m all right” (he’s… not wrong, even aside from the peeler issues has this man ever held a knife??) but- “it probably tastes nice though as I said it’s not about presentation for me… [munches cutely]... it’s actually pretty banging, that’s actually quite nice!” Success! Maybe it’s cause he knows the secret to faking good cooking- “as you can see I don’t have a lot of cooking ability so the more butter the better,” I mean the experts can tell you, that’s advanced stuff right there! #Louis-aChild! Substituting mustard and ketchup for coleslaw is a bit of a bold move, but in a belated attempt to convince the kiddos to eat some healthy veg even though he won’t he does bravely try the cucumber strips despite being “not really a man for cucumber” and makes a pained attempt to be positive- “bit of crunch.” Oh and speaking of crunch I’m relieved to have learned that the waffle is NOT a waffle, it’s a crispy waffle shaped bit of potato; a much more reasonable fish sandwich addition than the American version of a potato waffle! Full Time Meals polled to see what people think of Louis cooking; the two choices are “it was amazing” and “the best,” THEY GET IT. My kind of Louis poll! Helen Seamons rated him a “10/10 for effort and entertainment”, Masterchef acknowledged Louis as one of their own, and Marcus Rashford keeps it simple- “my guy” with a lil heart. YEAH, SAME.
Harry showed up in Italy, where he was papped in Venice being driven around (with PA Luis) on a boat (as you do, in Venice). He’s in a cool embroidered Bode shirt and shades and fancy hair, looking good. He’s seen carrying his suitcase, taking photos, and resting his head on his arms looking like a model. One might think, since we just saw the My Policeman cast and crew on set celebrating the wrap of the shoot, that they were done filming and Harry was off to do something different, but nope, he’s there to film! The book has key scenes in Venice that folks had been wondering about the filming of, and David Dawson is also being boated around Venice for the paps, so, it seems that was just for the wrap of the *UK* filming, which makes sense I guess since it would mostly be different crew I imagine, and perhaps some of the main cast are done as well.
Liam’s NFT sale is happening tomorrow! If you’re confused and want more info, I’M NOT GONNA HELP THAT MUCH… uh but I mean you can check out Liam’s youtube video explaining though I would guess that won’t help much (even Liam thinks so; “there’s probably websites that explain a lot better than me” he admits). There is a roundup now posted of what’s on offer for the buyers of the NFTs but I’m gonna be really honest with you, I’m more confused now than I was before. It’s clear that there are only SIX LONELY BUG NFTs right? They for sure said that I believe. But the packages for each different piece (token bundles) seem to me like they’re available to multiple buyers? Like maybe you don’t get the NFT but multiple top bidders on each get the extras? Like they can’t be selling multiple copies of the NFT... can they?! Isn’t the WHOLE POINT that only one person gets to own it? I DON’T FUCKING KNOW I AM SORRY. What I think I understand to be true: the six NFT buyers get to go to “a once-in-a-lifetime immersive dining experience at Resorts World Las Vegas” (this is the dinner with Liam and “a selection of crypto leaders from around the world” which takes place on display inside a giant glass box) and also “a bespoke commemorative presentation box containing the world’s leading holographic display... with audio... and a custom made Lonely Bug commemorative coin,” and “a unique QR code directing the owner to a special ‘Director’s Cut’ edit of the short digital film ‘Making Of Lonely Bug Collection’ which features unreleased footage from the day of the drop showing the creators' reactions when the winning bids came in” (I mean YEAH I would think it’s unreleased it literally hasn’t happened?) But then there are really a lot of other extras including tickets with Meet & Greet access to any Liam Payne headline show around the world, admission to pool and cinema parties in Vegas with Liam, signed art, non-Liam extras (I will literally bid to NOT have 20 minute phone calls with those crypto entrepreneurs PLEASE… but that’s just me), and access to an online party hosted by Liam; I really get the impression many of these, especially the last one, are just crypto tokens that are for sale that aren’t linked to the main Lonely Bug NFTs and many more than 6 people can buy them but a lot of the extras I’m not clear on which it is. Perhaps tomorrow I’ll understand better WE WILL SEE.
Liam also dropped by the discord last night to say some hellos (after a “long long day”) and that he “bought a piece of NFT art of myself tonight I’m going to give it as a prize Monday night so someone can own a piece of art that was owned by me” (an even less tangible bragging point than simply owning an NFT wow that’s an achievement) and the most important update- “I want a French Bulldog”! Oh and he said “that’s like one I did myself” in his fanart channel to a pic of a tiny crocheted illustration of Louis and Harry holding up a rainbow flag. Didya Liam?? (...Liam is crocheting??) Anyway I recognize who it’s supposed to be because it’s based on a familiar piece of fanart, but Liam definitely might NOT realize it’s meant to be someone specific, and tbh I’m more <eyeballs> at him saying that at the rainbow flag crocheted thing than at it being shippy.
Our Song acoustic version is out this Friday!! And Niall talked about NH3 some in an interview today; “I’m in the studio most days, it feels really good. I’m kinda in the latter stages of it and then I’ll go get a band together and go in and record the whole thing. I’ve just kind of been writing for the past 9 or 10 months and really enjoying it” and “It sounds like a complete album. God knows when it’s coming out because I’d like to be able to get around the world to see all the fans as well” and “It’s different. It sounds a lot more grown up. I’m 27 so it’s about time. I really wanted to kinda cement a sound. The singles I’ve released previously have all been kinda different sounds. I would like to have my ballad sound & like a cemented uptempo sound.” He and Anne Marie also talked about one of the other songs they wrote together saying, “It’s kind of like a, how do you describe it- guitar driven meets Tom Petty meets Katy Perry meets…” but say “We haven’t really decided if we are putting it out yet, the conversations are kinda happening... but it’s completely different (from Our Song).”
