How dare you make me so emotional? fuck me, I miss FIMQ. I'm crying now, too. This is so them.
Louis truly loves to roast himself for our entertainment
Other than Louis being Louis, the most unbelievable part to me is that Louis drove. In LA. They are trying to make it seem like he drove them there.
That passenger princess, drove through the worst traffic in the country to bring his apparent new flame to some random place in Malibu to walk back and forth in front of a random place for the paps to just be hidden behind the least amount of hedges found in Malibu.
I just love that fanfic writers are NEVER exaggerating when we write Louis as being hopeless in the kitchen. In fact, I would say we aren’t going far enough.
I legit thought that Louis’ burnt pizza was a big cookie 😭
Why is he always proving the fic writers correct
He 100% sent this to Harry being like “babe come help, I’ve burnt the pizza”
I find it intellectually riveting—nay, anthropologically spellbinding how the phrase “shipping real people is gross” only ever seems to escape the lips of those morally panicked individuals when the ship in question is Larry. Ah yes, the ancient art of selective sanctimony. A tale as old as heteronormativity.
Like, where was this moral grandstanding when the internet descended into collective hysteria over Haylor, a coupling that lasted roughly the same amount of time it takes to microwave a burrito? Or when Elounope was treated like a royal marriage forged by the gods of coordinated pap walks? Not a murmur. Not even the faint rustling of a hypocrite’s conscience.
But the minute someone so much as breathes the word “Larry,” people start clutching their pearls like Victorian debutantes confronted with ankles.
Apparently, concern for the psychological sanctity of celebrities only activates when two men are involved. Fascinating! Positively textbook! Freud is doing the Macarena in his grave.
And let’s be abundantly clear: Larry is not and hasn’t been “just a ship” since like…2012? This is not your average, garden-variety “they’d be cute together” scenario. This is a multi-layered, intertextual, slow-burn epic spanning over a decade, filled with mirrored lyrics, shared wardrobes, matching tattoos, suspicious silences, and the kind of emotionally-charged eye contact that could power a small European village.
We’re not shipping. We’re conducting a longitudinal queer study with PowerPoint presentations, Excel spreadsheets, and footnotes. Our thesis is due. MLA format. Peer-reviewed by Tumblr.
And the most mind boggling part? There is objectively more compelling, tangible, eyebrow-raising evidence that Harry and Louis are together than there ever was for Louis and Eleanor. Whose vibe resembled two wax figures posing for a Sears catalogue titled “Heterosexuality: We Swear.” Meanwhile, H&L were out here singing at each other like star-crossed lovers in a tragic musical sponsored by Modest management and Syco entertainment.
But sure, we’re the ones who need psychological evaluation.
And the absolute audacity of people dissecting one side-eye in a red carpet photo of a straight couple and calling it proof of eternal love, then turning around and calling Larries “delusional” for noticing literal patterns that have spanned an entire decade… it’s giving hypocritical rococo goblin.
If you genuinely believe shipping real people is wrong, then please kindly evacuate from every straight ship tag with the urgency of a possum in a Whole Foods. But don’t masquerade as the Patron Saint of Privacy while gleefully reposting Haylor edits with “All Too Well (10 min version)” playing in the background.
It’s not about ethics. It’s about comfort. And queer love stories—especially the ones they tried to bury under PR and denial—make people uncomfortable.
So no, we’re not “invading privacy.” We’re just exceptionally observant, chronically online, and possibly a little feral. But also? Right.
(sorry for the rant lol)
....do i have lady whistledown in my inbox???
A fic rec of One Direction fics that include a love confession as requested in an ask that Tumblr ate. It's actually really bothering me because it was a very specific request that I tried to do my best to find for you, anon! The ask was something like when the other blurts it out that they're in love with them. Anyway. If you enjoy the fics, please leave kudos and comments for the writers! You can find my other recs here. Happy reading!

(NR, 26k, omegaverse) When Louis gets invited along to Anne's wedding, Harry is prepared to let people think whatever they want about their relationship. That's what Louis said -- let people think whatever they want.
(E, 26k, omegaverse) Harry doesn’t do relationships. He has a perfectly enjoyable friends-with-benefits agreement with a perfectly lovely omega, and he doesn’t see the need to change that anytime soon.
(E, 22k, fwb) A year after a devastating breakup, Louis is still trying to put himself back together - but getting over a breakup is hard when you work as a wedding planner. Thankfully, his coworker Harry is the most supportive friend Louis could ask for.

(E, 122k, Louis/Nick Grimshaw) Nick and Louis don't like each other, not even a little bit, not even at all.
There's something so beautiful about a story that is so similar to our reality, but just a little bit to the left. Don't get me wrong, I love a wild divergence as much as the next person -- a different century, a different continent, a different way of meeting, a different life path. But the idea that even on a different trajectory, things still steered them to some of the same goals and passions and skills -- and that they still fell in love?
Poetry.
As such, here are 11 stories in which someone is in the music industry, and all the beauty and chaos that it brings with it. Please read, reblog, kudos, comment, and enjoy!
Façade by written_with_no_end/@written-with-no-end (133009, Not Rated, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) – fic post Warnings: depression, alcohol, drugs, cancer
An AU where Louis is the lead singer of The Rogues, Harry is the lead singer of White Eskimo and both are sick of being in the closet so kiss one night to fuck with the media.
Reccer says: The angst! The fluff! The way the songs are incorporated! Everything about it really!
Room for your love underneath this tree by we_are_the_same/@so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed (11006, Teen, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) – fic post
Youtuber!Louis tries to make his sister's Christmas wish come true: meet Popstar!Harry
Reccer says: It's all fluff no angst, Louis who has a cooking channel (which goes about as well as you'd expect) and the power of social media
All Shook Up by littleroverlouis/@littleroverlouis (9106, Teen, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) – fic post
Memphis, Tennessee is looking to crown the Ultimate Elvis Tribute artist. Harry is already polishing his crown before even setting foot on stage, until he meets a fellow competitor.
Reccer says: This fic is a love letter to Louis' voice. I loved all the banter and tension and buildup.
We are timeless by Star_Henderson/@tommosgun (75388, Mature, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) – fic post
Harry nodded, tilting his head to listen to the sweet rasp of the singer’s voice. […]Was it him? Was it? His hair was longer, his face no longer soft and boyish, instead angular with heavyish scruff, but the eyes, that mouth, were still the same. A rush of adrenaline flooded his body, heat creeping up his spine. It had been over four and a half years since he’d last seen him. He slumped back into his chair. He’d never given up hope of finding Tommy. Never. Or Louis and Harry meet as teenagers and have a sweet encounter in Ibiza. Years later they meet up again...
Reccer says: What’s stories are always wonderful. In this one, there’s first love, heartbreak and pining, and of course happy ending
Light, Spark and Fire (Series) by green_feelings/ @greenfeelings (239451, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik/Liam Payne)
Alpha Music mogul Louis meets Omega Harry who earns his living by helping with ruts Life’s pretty ordinary for Harry. He lives with his best friend, got into university just like he’s planned, and manages to support himself just fine for an unbonded omega. If he sustains that lifestyle by getting paid to help alphas through their rut every now and then, that’s nothing to be hung up on. Until he’s hired by an alpha that turns everything upside down. Or, Louis and Zayn run a music label, Liam is Britain’s up-and-coming pop star, Harry’s working on taking Louis’ walls down until he builds his own up, and Niall holds them all together without realising he does.
Reccer says: Greenfeelings are must read, the world is always really well thought and there’s angst with happy ending
babydoll blues by devilinmybrain/@thedevilinmybrain (111512, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) – fic post Warnings: Light BDSM
Louis is a high profile, filthy rich label executive who has the world at his feet - a music god.. Harry is the sugar baby trying to make a name for himself singing in shady bars and hanging off the arm of Louis' biggest rival. What Louis wants, Louis gets. But what if the game gets too hot and hits a little too close to the heart?
Reccer says: It was so good, a lot of heart wrenching angst and very well written. I could have read so much more of it
From The First Note Played by LiveLaughLoveLarry/@loveislarryislove (26000, Teen, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson)
Harry is a rising YouTuber, and he nearly falls over when his friends Dan and Phil invite him to meet the YouTuber band Midnight Memories. As worried as he is about embarassing himself, he somehow charms Louis enough to work together, maybe even be friends -- maybe even be more?
Reccer says: An oldie but a goodie, this one just makes me laugh. So much excellent banter, and the best kind of hilarious awkwardness.
a tidal wave of question marks by petitommo/@petitommo (52250, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) – fic post
Right there, less than an arms length away, stands his Louis; tan and gorgeous with his hair sticking up in every direction and the faint stench of weed like a cloud around him. A pillow crease is running down his cheek, and Harry’s heart clenches with something he has no adequate name for. “What are you doing here?” Louis’ voice jolts Harry out of his frozen state, shocked alive by the reminder of why he is here. His nerves soars abruptly when he remembers he’s standing at Louis’ door with love in his heart and anger in his veins. He exhales roughly through his nose, inhaling so deep his lungs burn before he gets the words out in a faint whoosh. “I listened to your album,” he starts. or, Louis and Harry run into each other at the GRAMMYs, and there's more than just awards taken home that night.
Reccer says: I love that this fic doesn’t shy away from their shitty relationship history—and Louis’ albums (and the Spotify playlists) are impeccable!
Just Coordinates by HachimansKitsune (288741, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson)
Harry loved his fans. He liked to interact with them every night, so he didn’t think teasing the fans trying to sneak out of one of his MSG shows early would change his life. But it did. The closer Harry and Louis grew, the more secrets they shared. They knew Alpha/beta relationships rarely worked out. But the more time that passed, the more drawn to each other they became. There was an intensity there that neither of them could deny. What happens when they take a chance on there being more than friendship between them, only to find that fate is a fickle bitch, with a wicked sense of humor… And she’s just decided that Harry and Louis are her new favorite playthings. OR Famous Harry meets Famous Louis and they fall in love, but it takes a bit for them to realize that they have.
Reccer says: This fic is a delicious slow burn into one of my favorite H&Ls from the past year!
Glass Closets and Greenhouses by TiredTiredTz/@tiredtiredtz (60933, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) – fic post
Charlton Athletic defender Louis Tomlinson and worldwide sex symbol Harry Styles are rumoured to be hooking up after a viral video filmed at Harry’s Wembley show was posted online by Tommo’s twin sisters. Sources close to the pair tell us the couple have been dating for a while, with rumours of house hunting, marriage and even kids on the cards! Styles, 29, is as well known for his whirlwind love life as his chart topping music. Most recently linked to British fashion designer Alex Millet-Sloan, Harry has stayed tight-lipped on rumours of any romantic rendezvous between himself and footballer Tomlinson, 31, yet fans online are convinced that all evidence points to #Tomlinstyles being the real deal.
Reccer says: The absolutely cutest meet-cute, perfect characterizations of H&L, steamy steamy sexy times, and a sus (insider) UA!
And Now I Date Cate’s Brother by Sunflouwerhabit/@sunflouwerhabit (46604, Not Rated, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) – fic post
A drunken writing session ends with a song detailing the fictitious summer romance between Louis and his former friend’s twin brother. It accidentally goes viral.
Reccer says: Louis is the pop-punk king of my dreams, Jude is the best (and coolest) OC ever written, and this fic is the sweetest thing to ever come from a (fake) love song
Tomás Mier, Mexican journalist, shared his interaction with Louis at Coachella - 13.04
I thought I might share one of my new tattoos. A couple years ago, a dear friend and I coined the term “fish bag moment”
A fish bag moment might be sitting all alone in an empty new apartment after coming out and upending your life, or starting a new job in a brand new line of work because it’s closer to your dreams
It’s what happens when you take a leap of faith or make a hard decision for yourself, when the future is so hard to visualize and everything feels scary. You’re just a fish in a bag and you can’t see where you’re going
But you’re on your way to a bigger aquarium
Ugh a coworker I adore is leaving for a new job opportunity. She was talking about how she’s happy and excited, but also sad and scared and nervous. I was like “omg you’re having a fishbag moment! Those feelings are what this tattoo represents!”
She said “I don’t like this feeling why would you get that tattooed on you”
And I said “because it means you’re on your way to a bigger aquarium 😌”
She had to walk away bc she started crying lol, and then shouted “THAT WAS CUTE” at me from down the hall
