The hug 🥹

https://twitter.com/love28_h/status/1639281980385705986?s=19

More like…

The gaze.

And then another gaze.

And that one very specific side eye gaze.

And then the “I talk to Niall but don’t look at him” gaze.

And that telepathic “LOOK AT ME” gaze.

Followed by an added lip bite to drive his point home.

Which ends in a frustrated “I’M TALKING TO YOU” stare.

Which ends in a fed up “FFS COME HERE NOW BABE” fond stare.

To eventually crash into each other and close their eyes for a second of comfort.

I feel like the dynamic that Louis and Harry have each brought out of their time in 1D and into the solo careers says a lot about them and also why they go together so well.

Like, Louis is PASSIONATE about equality. About getting to share all of the experiences. The bit from his band members talking about how he sleeps in the bunks with them rather than converting the lounge into a bedroom, and how they’re all welcome in his dressing room. It’s clear that Louis really values everyone feeling welcome and equal, he’s going to do everything he can for that sort of justice.

Harry, we see on his own a lot in backstage pics. And a lot of that might be from his general Aloof Stardom image because we ONLY see pics of him, almost never video. But we hear constant stories from everyone who meets him how kind he is, how he’s constantly offering to help, constantly giving presents and flowers and making sure to greet and thank everyone in the room. Harry strikes me as crazy introverted, needing serious recharge time when he’s not being Harry Styles™️, so he has a lot of Quiet Time, but he still exudes that same kindness.

But together, you can see how Louis wouldn’t hesitate to reach into Harry’s space. Because introverts have those few people that aren’t draining on them to be with, and I can only imagine that would be Louis, who would be sure to be involving Harry in everything so Harry can feel free to have his introvert and alone time without being worried about missing out on things.

Anyway goddamn this docu was so good I love him

What in the documentary made you more sure that louis isn’t the kid’s dad?!

okay i've got three big major reasons why

- he talks extensively about all the losses and how much of domino effect it was. first the band going on break, and then his mum's diagnosis and eventually losing her and shortly after losing fizz as well. he also talks about the jho performance and how if he could do that, he could do anything. but, he's talking about all his losses and essentially saying that that was his rock bottom and how he was just getting hit by blow after blow and he sort of implies that nothing good happened. however, it was also supposed to be the time when he "became a father" and if he's so devoted and loves his kid so much (as they show later on), shouldn't this kid he loves so much be one of the very few positives that came out of the dark time in his life?

- there's a scene where he talks about how jay had him very young and how she was still a kid when she had him and that's one of the reasons why his bond with his mum was so emotional and strong and he puts so much emphasis on jay being young. the most natural segue from that conversation would be "and now i realise why that bond was as strong as it was because i too had a kid when i fairly young" but nope doesn't bring it up at all.

- throughout the documentary he talks about 1d and his mum and stuff, like everything he talks about it is something that stays throughout the doc. however, the whole bit with freddie, was just that - a bit. there's literally no new footage, as in yeah the ones that charlie filmed obviously but when they're talking about freddie, the photos that they display are pretty much photos we've already seen or were taken from the sisters' ig and it's like. okay yeah i get that you just want to talk about your kid for two minutes but why would you use things from your sisters' stories? won't you have your own, non public pictures? so yeah

#babygate #non non #aotv spoilers

[skepticalarrie]

Spill about the hug! Also not what I was expecting and i’m dying to know what you think about it

Okay so I don’t have much time, but the thing for me about this scene is how vulnerable Louis looks, we’ve known forever how he felt nervous on stage, the lack of confidence, but actually watching it on their last performance is a whole different thing, especially because of how open he is about it. And that’s my general perception of the whole film, by the way, he looks so young when he’s vulnerable like that in those moments with Helene, but at the same the way he deals with it is incredibly mature. It’s obviously a film about Louis, so it’s from his perspective, but I find it so interesting the contrast with Harry, looking anything but vulnerable in this one scene in the bathroom, he has his walls up taking his big frowning face to a whole new level, very aware of the camera. But he kept looking at Louis like he was the only one in the room who understands how nervous he is, and that’s where we see he was vulnerable as well, somehow looking even MORE nervous and broken than Louis. And fuck…. then he hugs Louis like it’s nothing?! It’s not a big meaningful hug after their performance, which is not what was expecting AT ALL, it’s *before* their performance and there was literally no reason for him to hug Louis at that moment besides pure comfort. For both of them and just for half a second like they fucking do it all the time, just because he was leaving him alone with Helene for 10 minutes, just because they were too nervous. The lack of meaningfulness makes it SO intimate, not sure if they even realised they were hugging each other there?! And then they go up on stage and they’re the only ones who didn’t hug, but the first thing they do is look at each other and Louis does a huge relief face 😮‍💨 at Harry. And the contrast between how they act on stage compared to behind the scenes is massive, but it’s still so consistent, because there isn’t the physical reinforcement but there’s so much comfort in the way they look at each other.

We’re feeling some internal friction At silver screen Louis’ depiction; All the world is a stage But it’s hard to engage When plot lines combine fact and fiction.

I get really rambly below the fold. Proceed with caution if you’re over the discourse already.

I debated seeing All of Those Voices in theaters. I didn’t see either of Harry’s films in theaters — Harries are too much of a wildcard, and I refused to sit through hours of squeals and gasps and reactions, not to the movie but to “omg! Harry’s going down on someone! omg, Harry’s bum!” So I was already tentative about seeing Louis’ film in a shared space, outside the protective silos of tumblr. But I bought a ticket, because I want to support him and because I was genuinely curious what story would be told. Then we got the trailer and I hesitated again, not wanting to watch a propaganda film. But, I’ve lived through all the other Bullshit moments, so I figured I could live through Bullshit on the big screen.

My theater crowd was great — pretty neutral aside from an amusing row of politely excitable Larries I was in secret solidarity with. And I pretty much loved the film. Well, 92% of it. I look forward to watching it again when it streams. I mean, it was an hour and a half of content featuring this fascinating creature we’re all obsessed with. I didn’t want to blink. I hung on his every word (when I could understand them). How cool to get, essentially, a long-form interview, where he’s not promoting an album and we’re not getting the same sound bytes. Louis is wonderfully open and vulnerable, and the story of his life (heh) is inherently compelling. The cinematography is beautiful. The behind-the-scenes are delightful and delicious. I can’t wait for the AOTV gif sets once we have it in high-def.

But it has some plot holes as wide and deep as the ones in Don’t Worry Darling.

First, there’s the confusing (to the uninformed) absence of a love interest. Louis is asexual, as far as the film goes. There’s not even a ghost of Eleanor, with whom he’s cumulatively spent a decade and who is supposed to have inspired so many great love songs and with whom he is supposed to have survived a pandemic. Props to E for living her best life now: going to see Scream on AOTV opening day, enjoying full custody of the pups, publicly supporting her assumed partner — sorry you got Kiki Layned from the film, but I’m guessing you weren’t even written into the script. (It’s not like the film was conveniently re-edited in the months since their break-up. Her stunt tapering was intentional.)

Then there’s the glaring absence of a baby mama (thank god; that family would have been even more insufferable). We’re cruising along for 45 minutes or so and then, wham, Dad!Louis enters the chat with a fully formed 6-year-old child. The kid just magically appears with no backstory — just like in real life ... twice (the first time with the pregnancy announcement and the second time with the revival of Dad!Louis after several years of dormancy, right in time for documentary filming. Just like Harry stunted with his co-star during filming and production, Louis stunted with his.)

The kid is cute, and faultless in this. The scenes are objectively sweet (as they were designed to be). But Louis, who normally keeps things very close to the vest, is all of a sudden an emotional spigot you can’t turn off when it comes to these scenes. It seems quite out of character. Which brings back to mind that this Louis *is* a character. The Freddie scenes just didn’t seem to have a point in the plot other than: Louis is a dad. And that role isn’t integral to the film’s story.

He’s incredibly emotional with Freddie, but the movie doesn’t tell us why. The storytelling gets lazy here. The lad/dad plot seems wedged in. The movie would be perfectly complete without it. I felt like it could have been integrated a few different ways: Louis experienced tragedy after tragedy after tragedy — loses 1D, loses his mum, loses his sister ... and then impending fatherhood either becomes another trial he must reluctantly face (in the surprise pregnancy narrative) or it helps him navigate the grief of losing his sole parent, his closest confidante. OR, Louis, not wanting to be like the absentee father he had, shows up for his own oopsie baby despite the unexpected circumstances. But there’s no exposition or rising action. No footage or photos from the first few years of the kid’s life that we haven’t already seen. Just an immaculate conception.

I think the most compelling narratives of the film are these:

Louis’ overcoming adversity after adversity after adversity. Holy hell. I lived through 1D ending, through the devastating news about Jay (god, I remember the shock and sadness of that day — it was incomprehensible), through the heartbreaking news about Fizzy, and then when you think Louis is gonna get his moment of victory with his first solo world tour, coronavirus pulls the rug out. (That sequence was well done: where we keep seeing the dates get closer and closer to March 2020, and we all know the villain that’s coming, but it’s still such a blow.) I lived through all that in real time, but seeing it in such a concentrated sequence really highlights the shit he’s been dealt, and hearing him open up about so much of it ... that’s the character development relevant to the film’s denouement. And getting to see Louis get what he deserves, finally, and hearing him acknowledge that he deserves it, was a lovely ending.

Louis’ journey to find his footing and his confidence as a solo artist after unfathomable success as part of a group. But, in a sort of plot twist, he’s not really solo, is he? The film gives a lovely introduction to his band now — and in their own words, reveals that they’re not just a backing band, they’re a *band* band. Louis has let them in. He’s forged a new brotherhood. *That*, for me, was the heartwarming story. I loved those scenes, loved seeing Louis in his element, which is in a collective, where he is both king and jester at the same time. (Or perhaps Oli’s the jester. Thank fuck for him, man. Oli is the standout. The breakthrough performance. The comic relief. I want a spinoff series.) It’s easy to miss 1D and glorify those short years and think nothing will ever top it, but Charlie’s storytelling of the LT Band is remarkable. We’re left looking forward, not back.

I know Louis’ dedication to his fans and his fans’ dedication to him is a huge focus, but I don’t really enjoy watching commentaries on fandoms I’m a part of. I’m living it. I don’t need outsider context. And in a fandom as fractured as Louis’ (and 1D’s) there’s not a universal experience. The film depicts dedication as sleeping on streets for rail, hopping from country to country and draining bank accounts — because that’s the kind of “superfandom” that gets easily turned into a marketable freak show. Show me the documentary on the fans who organize the light projects, who run the fashion accounts, who curate livestream sources on show nights, who have turned giffing into an art and science, who help promote Louis in the absence of a competent marketing team, etc., etc. I also thought the interview with the American(?) girls talking about LATAM shows was shortsighted. And showing the rainbow factions but not addressing them? What a missed opportunity to talk about songs like Only the Brave becoming a queer anthem. Straight artists can have gay fans, you know.

But the film doesn’t make the kid relevant to any of those storylines. He could have been worked into the first, but wasn’t. It was like a standalone narrative, with footage from a narrow set of days. I was at both those L.A. shows. The energy was so different from night 1 to 2. And in retrospect it’s clear Louis was performing the first night so Charlie could get the right shots. More like a choreographed play than a rock concert. It makes sense now why the Clarks weren’t in the VIP box with Freddie — couldn’t have them cluttering the frame or distracting the actors. Just, everything about the Freddie scenes is heavy-handed. Make a sign for your dad! Draw his logo in the sand! Fly a kite at sunset! He’s the spitting image of Louis! (Len does all the heavy lifting.) And all the maneuvering it had to take to get all those shots from the L.A. show?! In the VIP box from behind (and from the front, and when he just happens to be mouthing along to Two Of Us), side stage watching Louis end the show, on-stage watching Louis approach Freddie after the show, on-stage catching the moment Louis gives the lad a shout-out ... Charlie had a shot list. But sure, nothing was set up, it was totally organic.

I’m still unsettled by how heavily Charlie laid it on at the first premiere press conference — *he* was the one to bring up the kid, and was weirdly emphatic that nothing was staged, nothing was forced. It had the same energy of the “It’s. Not. Real” thrown baby doll moment, only it’s Charlie insisting that It. Is. Real. Thou dost protest too much, me thinks.

And of course, the lack of interaction between Louis and Harry remains, as ever, the biggest tell. We get poignant post-1D Nouis and Lilo moments in the film, but no Larry. We’re spoon-fed these Very Emotional Moments between father and son (“love you,” “Darling,” mouth kisses), when the real story, the real emotion, the real connection is in just a few seconds of furtive glances between Harry and Louis in the backstage footage of the last 1D performance. Christ, the way Harry’s eyes bore into Louis — chin tilted down, eyes glancing up from beneath a furrowed brow, lips tight, disguising his attentiveness with a hair flip ... they mastered so many forms of silent communication. The quiet call and response, the depths of love and care and concern and protection contained in micro-expressions. Fuck, give me 90 minutes of that. Just a silent film of Louis and Harry looking at each other.

Anyway. Sorry this sounds so grumpy. I did really love most of the movie. But I haven’t made sense of why this film was made. I don’t know its purpose. Maybe the introspection forced by the pandemic lockdown is to credit for this glut of music docs (“docs”) lately. Maybe nine minutes frees him up for nine more months or nine more years. I dunno. He obviously wanted this story told in this way.

Seeing a movie requires the willing suspension of disbelief. You have to ignore critical thinking in order to enjoy the story you’re being told. You tune out your knowledge that everything is fake for the sake of being entertained. We know that Superman can’t actually fly, but we still buy tickets to the cinema. But, a documentary shouldn’t require us to employ this semi-conscious perceiving mode. Yet here we are. I’m just not sure how much more or how much longer we can suspend our disbelief to enjoy fandom.

see you again (can i get a kiss?)

pair : levi x fem!reader

warning(s) : angst with a happy ending, major AOT spoilers, mentions of character death, hint of pregnancy, mention of wounds, some of this stuff might be wrong 😭 i wrote this at 1:20AM after getting back into AOT like literally the evening before so lets say levi and y/n were in the building in the midst of all of this okay 😴

word count : it's short idk

"no." he said sternly.

you weren't surprised to his negative response. "are you a moron? why would i want you to come onto a shot flying boat, AND we don't even know if this plan will work." he emphasized.

"look y/n!" he pointed towards the mighty titans that are getting closer each second. he had to pause to point them out to you - everyone was in a frantic rush, trying to repair the boat, trying to give fuel to said boat, trying to come up with anything to just give them a few measly extra seconds.

despite his injuries, he grabbed you roughly by the shoulders, his strength may be exhausted, but he is still way stronger than ever. "y/n, this is no time to be dwelling in your emotions right now. for your sake - and it isn't an option, you are going on the boat." he said sternly.

despite the chaotic situation around the both of you, he still took that tiny opportunity to look you in the face just for a few seconds. he did that a lot. so boldly. thats what you loved about him; his bold and (sometimes annoying) arrogant personality.

"levi.." you murmured. "i just want to be with you." looking up from the floor, you finally looked at him dead in the eye. despite his death grip on your shoulders, and the harsh lecture he just gave you, for once, you saw the stress and concern in his eyes. following your words, he loosened his grip.

it's like the mess around you froze. you wish it froze. you just wanted to be with levi. why was that so hard? why is it that when you and him finally can be together, he has to go away again?

it was silent between the two of you, but that didn't last for long when the building began to viscously shake due to the titans who were basically on your doorstep. multiple thoughts raced along your mind - you don't know what's going on anymore.

the loud rumble of debris being thrown as one of the titans slipped over another alerted everyone. they were here. you looked back at levi. your time with him was up. suddenly, he pulled you into a hug. hugs with levi were rare. any sort of PDA was rare. but it seemed in this "situation" it was calling for it. "i love you, y/n. don't be afraid." he said. his wounded hands were caressing the small of your back, lingering.

"Y/N! we have to leave!" levi pulled away, kiyomi was calling for you. you looked at levi once more, his hands were still on you, except one on your sides, one lightly on the lower, currently fragile part of your stomach. you leaned in for what could be a final kiss, but he backed away.

"no, you're not going to "kiss me goodbye." this isn't going to be the last time, so stop it." he scolded you. for once, you enjoyed his hissing of words. guiding you by your arm, he lead you a few feet to kiyomi and let go as you began to walk on your own.

levi watched you walk off, gathering with the rest of the scouts and hange, discussing what they could do to slow the titans down. it was when they devised to sacrifice hange did you finally turn back to look at him. everyone was beginning to rush back to the flying boat, levi was walking back too.

it wasn't until when you were walking down the steps to the boat did you, not even think, turn around and dash back to the building where the flying boat was preparing to disembark. you couldn't help it. even if you were going to see him again, you just needed a kiss, to know for sure that he will be coming back to you.

"levi!" you yelled, trying your hardest to run to him in time. ignoring the urgent calls of the already distressed kiyomi, and the frantic look that levi gave you when you almost got smashed by a flying piece of rock, you ran into levi.

being careful to not agitate any of his fresh wounds, you planted your soft hands on each sides of his face, forcibly bringing his lips to yours. despite his earlier attempts, he gave into your kiss, practically inhaling your scent and trying to get closer to you, bringing his arm around your waist.

giving into the final warnings of kiyomi and the others, you pulled away reluctantly. few tears slid down your already flushed cheeks, however they didn't make it very far as he did his best to bring his palm up to wipe them away.

"i promise to see you again." he swore. with that, you departed from the love of your life.

prt 2. (revamped.)

Do you have the whole clip before the Larry hug and a bit after? Harry looks so tense before and keeps looking at Louis and then after the hug when Louis sends Helene to the bathroom, it sounds like he goes to the door to ask for a handler to call Harry for him. It sounds like he says Harry to whoever is outside the door.

yeah so basically it's their last ever performance and oli talks about how everything was subdued backstage and they all hug each other and then they leave louis to do vocal coaching with helene and then louis pops out of the door and i guess he asks how long he has to which harry replies 15 mins

#aotv spoilers

[skepticalarrie]

In the doc Louis shares a story about going to 1d producers to work on his voice to get more solos when 1d was starting and the producers saying yeah and helping him but then when he got the actual song they gave his solo to Harry and thats how he find out. Imagine how that can affect your self esteem. I am glad he was able to see the bright side and not become bitter or hate the other boys for it.

The way Louis was abused in the early days of the band is mindblowing, the way we saw him getting stiff on stage and going to a really dark place in his mind.... fucking hell.

It's lovely that he's comfortable enough to share part of it with us now but I don't think we as fans will ever be able to fully comprehend everything that went down behind the scenes. It could have gone so wrong. And the way I see it, the other boys in the band didn't have anything to do with it because they obviously recorded everything individually, so it was more about the people making the decisions. But it's incredible how they really managed to stick together and support each other and stay grounded even though each of them was going through completely different experiences and at the same time going through the exact same thing?! Insane!
