what is your favorite thing about Harry and Louis individually?
this is a wholesome ask!! thank you anon 🧡
I’ll split this between boys and maybe give some love about Larry as a unit at the end too. Watch out, it’s gonna be a long one.
Louis: I love so much about this man. He is just so… interesting. There’s no one like him.
Watching him grow up over the years… wow. He’s so complex, has so many sides to him, and is a bit of a chameleon - being able to adjust into any social situation and being able to make friends with just about anyone, while still being himself. He’s so damn strong, and fights so hard for what he believes in and who he loves. He just is so caring and will throw himself under the bus solo over taking anyone down with him. He sacrifices himself for the ones around him, no matter what consequences that has.
Even without talking about Larry, you could tell he was immediately the natural leader of the band. He has everyone wrapped around his finger, but doesn’t take advantage of that (unless it’s for pranks hehe). He’s so very protective, and he fought against 1d’s team and Cowell hard. He threw himself into the wrath of that asshole, just to try and ensure the others had it easier. He didn’t care what that meant for him. Even if Cowell through him out of the band, which I’m sure he was close to multiple times, he’d rather that than the others take the blame or get into trouble (
Also, all the boys have stated how vital and strong he is, and how he truly grew into himself after being so shy and then just… blossoming. They were big parts of that, but Louis truly just.. took the reins, made the most of it, and tried so hard to see the best in things. Niall says here (3:10 onwards… ignore that shitty Aus interviewer, he’s fucking useless) about how Louis was self deprecating in an interview and he shouldn’t be hard on himself, because they all adore him and he’s an “extremely vital part of one direction”. Here’s Liam talking about how crucial Louis was to the band, and how he persevered without being the front man or singing a lot at the beginning, but he made the best decisions for the band and that leant him more into the business side of it all.
He’s an incredible writer, too. Truly just… very interesting with his genres. He brought 1d to a wider demographic and audience by not following the stock standard general boyband vibes, and gave them more maturity and edge and complexity by the end of it. While a lot was still collabs, he brought his own sound so strongly. You can TELL when it’s his writing, and that is such a special thing that a lot of artists haven’t been able to master.
While I do agree he has lost a fair bit of his flamboyancy and has quite a strong barrier around him (walls…) before truly letting people in, he’s done that simply to protect himself and that’s a really important and valuable thing to do, particularly when he’s always in the public eye, he learnt how to manage that appropriately to keep his personal life, and his heart, under armour.
He’s also just… cheeky as fuck. And the stories I was told about when he was in Aus… very funny. Very down to earth, loves indulging in some beers and smoking a J and I adore him.
Also, his vibe. Shit. He just… draws people in when they’re around him. While yes, I am a fan, even if I wasn’t and we’d made eye contact backstage like we did, I would’ve been frozen to the spot. He’s powerful, confident, a little cocky, but also soft, gentle, and caring. He’s also been through some rough hardships dealing with trauma and family/personal losses, but still comes out the other end. An incredibly strong human being.
Harry: Harry is… so layered as well. Both of these boys are very complex and I would put that down by having to hide, being controlled, and shoved in the public eye at a very young age. But Harry came out the other end a little differently than Louis did.
Harry has always been so open and caring, driven and focused, but also has an off switch as opposed to Louis. Behind the scenes, Harry drops the stage persona (which a lot of it is truly him, but you know what I mean), and comes back to himself. He calms down, and stays calm, and puts other people first and gives them plenty of space and privacy. He values his privacy so much, and values his personal life to a point that you can truly tell how genuine he is, and how much he doesn’t want to pull the people he really cares about into the spotlight to deal with the public like he has to.
He also is a different level of fame to Louis. Harry has his every move scrutinised and ogled at and yet he continues to be himself and wear whatever tf he wants to, and makes a statement. He’s very loud. He dances ridiculously and wears awful sparkly jumpsuits and writes a lot of songs that still pay homage to the 1d days. And also, career wise, you can tell when he chooses to make decisions for himself.
Releasing SOTT as a single, for example. That song should have (marketing wise) been an album song. It should’ve been about 3/4 through the album, to balance out the fun pop. It shouldn’t have been released as a first single to solidify his solo career, and I can guarantee he was advised against that. But he did it for himself. He didn’t do that shit for anyone else.
He also is just a giggly little cheeky mess. A natural flirt, who can be cocky and confident and grab whoever he’s talking to’s attention, just by looking at them. But in saying this, he genuinely cares about what people have to say when they’re talking with him. He makes a lot of eye contact, often stays quiet for a moment or two after someone has finished talking to give them the time to finish, but also to carefully consider what he’s about to say next. And yeah, you could put this down to media training, but he makes sure the other person is heard and has the platform to speak to him, like he’s just another guy. He is very genuine like that, and he makes people feel important by doing so.
He’s also a romantic. He looooves love and values it above all else, in my opinion. He also just loves freedom. To be who he is, to spread his wings, to be the centre of attention even though he doesn’t really mean to. To be himself. He truly doesn’t hide under a mask anymore (closeting aside).
And if you’ve been around forever, you can see he’s not queerbaiting or whatever tf. He just lets it loose on stage but doesn’t need to be that person all the time. He is far more quiet and shy and giggly than the media gives him credit for. He just… is himself off stage as well, but the more reserved side, because he gets it all out on stage and it’s the one place he can truly release that energy bc of his glass closet. He doesn’t have to pretend on stage, he doesn’t have a stunt gf all over him when he’s up there, he can just be that loud side of him that shows who he is. That shows how proud he is.
He’s a frontman, he loves performing, and takes the chance to again, make people feel important when they’re speaking to him. Like he truly does care. He listens to his fans in the crowd, spends a ridiculous amount of time talking to them, and values us for always being there and seeing through the bullshit of his image. He’s also very hardworking, as Niall says (3:25 onwards).
Larry: I mean… Jesus Christ. How lucky are those two to find each other? To form an instant connection and look at each other like that? God, even if you forget about the romance of it, just that deep and powerful connection, is definitely a form of soulmates for me. How happy they are together, how touchy feely (Louis is so physically affectionate and Harry loooooves it) they are, and how protective they are of each other.
Being shoved into a situation like 1d, is hard for any of those boys, and with closeting on top? God damn they fought hard. And Louis is, and always has been, so protective of Harry who is his baby hehe. So to be there and gently guide Harry, a naive and shy 16 year old, through the treacherous grounds that is the music industry, is extremely important and a bond for life.
The instant connection between them, the mirroring, the drawing each other in no matter how big the room is, the gentleness, the rowdiness, the love… god. Even if you don’t believe in larry, you see it between them. The connection was always there. And both Harry and Louis have fought so hard for it. They came out the other end stronger and more powerful than ever. They didn’t crack. They didn’t break. They supported each other and helped each other and held onto each other.
On Thursday 1st September, there were multiple videos and pictures of Harry walking with TR around central London. This was after a busy week of walking for them and 2 days after the Vogue editor posted a pic of her at the Vogue office on his Ig.
At some point, they met up with Harry Lambert and a blonde woman speculated to be Poppy Kain of Vogue - who does the styling for shoots.
This prompted speculation of a vogue cover/ interview/ couple shoot etc.
Vogue are holding a “vogue world” event on Thu 14th Sept at 7pm to start LFW. Jonathan Anderson (of Loewe) is showing his latest collection on Sat 16th at 11am. (Bare in mind TR has a matinee show on Saturdays at 1.30pm)
Interestingly, it looks like Pleasing is part of the Vogue World event. As is SS Daley (who was in the random and released ages after they were taken in an not at all sketchy way pics- he is also showing a collection on sat)
Oh and one of the arts venues that will be benefitting from the event.. well I’m sure you can guess.
He doesn't say a word about f here, but this morning's interview he did mentiom him with no prompting... see, i get stunts for closeted people, but using an innocent child? It really doesn't bother you?
Of course it bothers me. But what am I supposed to do about it? Seriously. The way I see it, I have two options. The first, I can stop being a fan, stop supporting him, stop buying stuff, etc.
OR I can accept that as a fan there are things beyond my control. I don’t decide how it ends, I don’t decide what happens. My dollars and time are drops in an ocean. So I can control is my experience, and how much I let it effect my experience as a fan. They settled into stunts a long time ago. It’s awful. I can rage against it and exhaust myself and burn myself out, or I can enjoy the photo shoots, and the music, and the lyric analysis, and the fandom, and the shows, and the merch, and ignore the bullshit that unfortunately, inevitably, comes with it.
Deuxmoi made up a story about how Harry was hooking up with Florence before dating O, that's why Florence and O don't like each other because they were fighting for Harry's d*ck on set lmaoooooo. How to make a stunt even more grotesque lmao. And the fact that some people will actually believe that Wattpad story lol.
Good time to remind people that I will try to consistently tag anything you ask me to, and that i try to tag any post that mentions/talk about stunts with (unsurprisingly) "stunt mention"
And if I'm going to talk about stunts UNtagged it'll happen on @ohharrymylove
But my firm stance is that there's no reason to hate a beard for being a beard, and I don't particularly buy the multitude of reasons a lot of people come up with to dislike/hate these women.
either confirm freddie for good (if he really is his son but like make it in a way that actually makes sense unlike it was done all these years, not that I believe it is) or just end it bc this middle land doesn't make sense and it's just annoying. I really want to believe something is up tho bc all this constant name dropping doesn't feel casual I guess it is something he gets asked a lot bc of gossip but he names him even when he doesn't get asked and it's totally unnecessary so what's up with that?
Bringing Danielle back is not gonna do Louis good at all!!! God what is he and his team thinking!!!! Imo, elounor 2.0 is so much better cuz its such half-assed and eleanor is like low-key only talking cliff on a walk and hanging out at his public stunt house, bringing danielle is just a huge ??????????!!!! Makes no sense. Not good for his album promo at all it contradicts everything he has said and his "rebranding" !!! Imagine this, dating two girls TWICE while also managing to get another girl PREGNANT WITH YOUR CHILD in between those times!!! Yikes!
Yeah I mean. I don’t actually think they’re bringing Danielle like, fully back. I think we’re all just having a little bit of fun.
