#ppl who ONLY think abt how much they do/dont look alike confuse me

I know a lot of people talk about “babygate” and such, but from the few pictures we’ve seen of Freddie as a toddler we have to all agree he looks almost exactly like toddler and kid Louis, just with blonde hair and lighter skin. What’s the explanation for that? (This is a serious question, I’m not trying to be mean I’m just curious!)

well ok. for starters, almost all the pics we get of freddie are taken from very specific angles (aka almost all the same) and they’re edited. why the hell do you need to use face tune on a child? but it happens. they do everything they can to make him look as much like louis as possible. why arent there as many videos of his face close up and without filters? smth to think abt. and second... physical appearance isn’t everything. a lot of little white kids can resemble louis lmao but that doesn’t make them all related to him. on the flip side, kids dont always have to be a spitting image of their parents — i have a cousin who looks nothing like either of his parents but instead is a carbon copy of our other uncle. doesn’t mean anything, just means they share genes. if louis’ so certain about freddie being his kid bc they look alike sometimes... why hasnt there been a paternity test? or an attempt for custody since he never gets to see freddie?

weelllllll i just scrolled through my dash and saw 3 stories abt how ppl got into tmbg so I, the youngin am here to tell a tale. possibly boring but YALL KNOW I WANNA DO THIS  ok soooo ive been on the internet ever since the age of 8. ive seen some stuff, heard some stuff, talked to a lot of people. i had this big friend group in an online chatroom based around mlp, i was a big mlp fan. anyways, i used this website for like 2 years. i was 9 when i first started using it. its the second year, im 10. i had a friend who was really into this indie rpg called OFF. im sure some of yall have heard of it. anyway i didnt know about it but i ended up stumbling upon this video bc someone linked it in the chatroom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGjnQ5aHpW8&t=22s (honestly im not even sure if this is the original video i watched, i just know it was an animated OFF video with the characters set to particle man) anyways i OBSESSED over this song. i downloaded it illegally on my phone, i learned the lyrics by heart. so i knew abt this song solely because of the internet. not because of tiny toons (bc im 13, wasnt even alive when that was on air) but because of the internet. so this song holds near and dear in my heart for yeaaarrs. fast forward to the middle of september, 2017. very recent, yes it took me this long. at this time i was a DIE HARD fan of vinesauce, vinny’s band red vox, and lemon demon and neil cicierega media alike. i heard somewhere that tmbg was similar to lemon demon. i was listening to particle man all these years after and thought “huh, if i like this so much maybe i should check out the rest of their catalog” so i did. i started with flood, since particle man was on it. i had no idea about these dudes, who they were, how old they were, their names, i didnt even know there were TWO singers. anyways, i loved flood. my favorites were whistling in the dark and hearing aid. the night after i listened to flood i checked out 4 more albums. lincoln, apollo 18, the else, and john henry. i only picked them bc they were on the youtube recommended section. completely random, for no reason. i listen to these for a bit and then i finally listen to the pink album. i love it. now at this point i still dont know much about them. i barely knew what they looked like and when i first looked at flans he looked really creepy to me. (i think it was the flansbeard, and his ominous smile) and linnell looked like an old woman to me which is weird. anyways, i listen to long tall weekend after pink. and then i listen to mink car a bit later. the night i listened to mink car was the same night i watched “gigantic: a tale of two johns” now at this point ive been meaning to watch this for a bit bc it was always recommended to me on youtube. i nestled up into my couch with a blanket and i watched on my phone. i instantly fell head over heels for the johns. i loved their voices, and how they talked about their music. watching them perform was so cool, and when first watching it a lot of the time i was sorta confused bc i dont understand music talk LOL but i was still really into it! it made me so into the johns! and the rest of the band! so the day after i watched gigantic, i searched google and lurked tumblr tags and found tons of pictures, silly videos, and audio and it made me love them EVEN more. i felt a spark of love for these guys, instantly. after mink car i checked out factory showroom, the spine. and now here i am, 6 months later, half of the discography ive already listened to. i only have 2 albums left. i love every single song, i know most of them by heart, and i couldnt be happier about my decision. i didnt like tmbg bc i was raised around it, or because a friend introduced me, or because my mom listened to it. no, i found it all on my own practically. i made the decision to listen to them and im so happy i did. the johns are musical geniuses, musical blessings, and i love them so so so so much. i dont know where i’d be without them. im a 13 year old whos homeschooled in a poor family, i dont do much everyday as you might imagine. its draining, doing nothing at all everyday. im not in tip top health as im never active and i havent had a real life friend in 6 years. but when i have they might be giants, i know ill get out of this secluded, lonely purgatory soon.
