The Observer : Phase Two
Now that we have entered a new phase of The Observer, I am moving this information to it's own post. But if you are just now joining in, please check out my original post that covers everything from March 9 - 28th (the dartboard saga). You can find it here. (Please note: most of this information was being uncovered in real time. Some dates skip around because connections were not formed until later or new information was uncovered. I'm doing the best I can to keep it together guys!)
A HUGE THANK YOU TO @fookinhellcurlyyy and @tonix3!! Check out their write-ups on The Observer as well because they're often faster to respond than I am!
On March 29th, 2025:
At 1:00 PM, we get this tweet:
Bits and pieces of never and forever: A mosaic of moments that make a home. https://instagram.com/fromanobserver — The Observer
The profile picture stays the same — dart in the bullseye.
The Observer’s Twitter header updated. And while the image still centers on the same massive lavender-blue iris, the figure is missing.
The original header showed a tiny person on a ladder, peering through a telescope. Now? The new header shows only the eye. No ladder. No telescope. No figure.
The Observer remains the eye. But An Observer has stepped into a new space.
For the first time in this saga, we are pulled off Twitter and into a new space. The Instagram account is called @fromanobserver. The display name is “An Observer.” The bio is: “Through the looking glass an observer watches, craving what is just beyond reach.”
(This is the original bio from the Twitter account.)
Let’s Talk About the Image
A large central circle, like the rim of a lens or an old mirror, a sun, or a planet. It’s empty. Or waiting. It’s surrounded by orbit-like rings.
A small dark circle sits on the outer edge of the ring — as if it’s in orbit around the center. A satellite?
A telescope rests in the bottom-left corner. No ladder. No figure. Just the instrument — aimed upward (in retrospect its telling us to examine the large circle which will change daily), but unused.
A dartboard sits in the bottom right. Fully detailed. But it doesn't quite look like the real-life dartboard of the previous saga. This has changed. It's got less rings. It's more stylized. More like - a compass.
This dartboard isn’t really a dart board— it mirrors the shape and
12 Stars and a crescent moon float in the background.

A close-up of a hand grasping red fabric. Caption:
“Old tracks, new verses.”
The zoomed-in image is from a paparazzi photo of Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik, dated March 3, 2015, just days before Zayn left the band.
- That photo was taken as 1D returned to London from tour — a moment of impending fracture.
- The caption suggests not a repeat of the past, but a rewriting of it.
- “Old tracks” = 1D, Zouis, the break.
- “New verses” = reconciliation? A new narrative?
This post reignites Zouis speculation, especially considering Louis’ attendance at Zayn’s LA show on January 29, 2025 — their first public overlap in a decade.
2:20 PM — The Observer tweets:
“The silence healed what the noise once strained.”
— The Observer
This appears to confirm the Zouis context — referencing the years of silence between the two. “The noise” could be 1D fame, the fandom, the press, or even internal band tension. Now, years later, there’s space to reconnect — and that seems to be what’s happening.

A black triangle on a blue knit background. Caption:
“Macroscopic and Microscopic life.”
It doesn't happen for a few days but EVENTUALLY fans trace the triangle to The Observer’s Book of Pond Life by John Clegg — a field guide to organisms both visible and invisible.
That same article revealed Harry’s love for Love Island.
Louis, historically, has said he hates the show — but once admitted he was “sucked into” watching a season. Louis is reportedly dating Zara, a former Love Island contestant. And Harry was spotted at a Sabrina Carpenter concert in March - with Zara's friends in the box beside him.
These are not isolated facts.
They form a micro and macro ecosystem — much like a pond.
Interconnected. Subtle. Coded. Alive.
1:20 PM — The Observer tweets:
“Something in the Blue
— The Observer”
The triangle was printed on a blue knit — literally: “something in the blue.”
11:12 PM — The Observer tweets:
“But the Sun isn’t an anatomical entity, it’s an inanimate object. How can we possibly fight it, Sergeant-Major?”
— An Observer
This is a quote from It Ain’t Half Hot Mum, spoken by a character played by John Clegg — same name as the Pond Life author.
But the timing is key: That morning, The Sun published a tabloid piece about Louis’ son and Briana — their first mention in the press in years. It reads like a planted PR piece, detailing their lifestyle, location, and routine.
The Observer quote feels like a message to the fandom:
You can’t fight the Sun. Don’t feed the noise.

A close-up image of a guitar neck, featuring a black capo and steel strings.
Caption: “Same steel, new stories.”
The photo showed a black-necked guitar with circular fret markers. The wording appears to be a clue to what happened later on Instagram Stories.
2:40 PM – The Observer tweets:
“No more makeshift moments now that you are home.
— The Observer”
This was a direct reference to Louis’ Instagram Story from Nov 29, 2024, where he used a yellow pen and charging cable as a makeshift capo.
The implication? Someone is home bringing the real capo back with them.

He's listening to “Favourite” by Fontaines D.C. at 1:14.
~40 seconds later — The Observer tweets:
Favourite
— The Observer
“Well, look who’s just the newest clown / 35 hours coming down / How the sun shines on new pavement / And you don’t even feel it…”
This is not a love song for a new flame.
It’s about:
- Things being different than they were when you were young
- Being worn down by life but one person always being the same
- Still clinging to someone who’s always been your favorite
“Ah, it makes sense when you understand
The misery made me another marked man
And I'm always looking over my shoulder
And each new day, I get another year older
Shoulder bound to the frame of a door?
Chewed into shape like a stone on the shore
But if there was lightning in me
You'd know who it was for”
- “Seems you cannot be replaced. And I'm the one who will stay, oh In this world, it's just us. You know it's not the same as it was. .” (As It Was, released THREE YEARS AGO ON THIS DAY - April 1, 2022)
- Both songs are about change, distance, and enduring emotional connection.
- Harry attended Fontaines D.C.'s album launch in August 2024
(Hot Press source)
- Louis followed Fontaines D.C. on Instagram on March 26, 2025
- Harry celebrated their BRITs win in 2024
(TikTok proof)
9:15 PM – Louis posts on Instagram Stories
A full photo of the guitar — confirming it’s his.
Note: The location is not Ibiza, where Zara McDermott is currently posting from.
The picture of the guitar shows a pool that has clean, modern lines, a concrete barrier, and overlooks the Pacific — consistent with Louis’ known LA rental.
Please keep in mind: this could all be coincidence. I'm not here to convince you one way or another. There are a thousand ways to debunk or explain this away. That's the point of plausible deniablity.
