You can run, but you can't hide Larry

scoutkate

All the big Larry blogs are completely ignoring it. I mean, there is no way to explain this away.

scoutkate

I'm glad I got all my feeling out on Sunday or I would be having a reeeeaaaalllyy hard time right now.

The only redeeming factor about the Larry ship sinking is that MAYBE I still have a chance to make out with Harry someday. Because I am totally his type. We all are.

scoutkate

I'm going to go search the Gryles tag.

Those of you who aren't ready to jump ship, go read some AU fanfics. That always helps when the reality of Larry gets depressing.

What is happening?! I go away for a few hours.... how do we know this tweet is legit?

Exactly what I am doing right now. Wine and fanfics make everything better.

People taking pictures of themselves crying is just weird.  

littlestjerry

I either think the Liam DM is fake or that Larry used to be real and no longer is. Even if it's fake, I think they're not together anymore actually. Now excuse me while I go gently weep in the work bathroom.

I do not ship Larry romantically, but they are still soul mates, and should be BFFs, and that is what I am shipping right now.

I think it used to be real but I don't think they're currently together. They may even fuck occasionally, but I don't think they're in a relationship.

I just think about how overwhelming it must have been for them in the beginning - both professionally and personally. Similarly, they've got a lot of life ahead of them. They're still so young! I like to think maybe they will find their way back to each other after the current madness of their lives subsides.

Umm, doesn't anyone think it's weird the tweet he is responding too has nothing to do with Larry??

Am I reading it wrong?

Anyway, to me management probably did it, and he was pissed, and management told him he couldn't say anything, so he did the only thing he could...he refollowed her


I refuse to believe Larry isn't real, no friends get that many matching tattoos,they just don't...

I will be on the ship until it us sitting on the sea bed..

secretsout

I don't know what to say. I don't usually actively ship it as a romance, but I don't doubt that Harry adores Louis and always has. And, as it seems impossible not to love Harry, no matter who you are, I do not doubt that the feeling is mutual.

Regardless, it is still heartbreaking that for whatever reason, there is distance between them (at least when it comes to the public view).

I am here too.

I also think Louis has a drug problem and Harry is keeping emotional distance because he doesn't want dragged into the mess. I definitely sense that Harry is sad about Lou - and not only because they're not lovers.

I just want Louis and Harry to hang out and interact and do all the cute stuff they used to do. If everyone just needs to stop shipping Larry for that to happen then I wish they would.

Isn't this basically what the bullshit tweet said, only in nicer words?

scoutkate

I kind of think his initial reports of seeing them were legit.

wesleycrusher

I'd like to think they were together since the beginning, but with all the pressure on them, realistically when I think about it they're not.  But it's a nice love story to think about. And when I read those Larry blogs on tumlbr, I think sometimes they really stretch things.

I do think they are going through a re-branding type of deal though- not so H&L can come out (although  Louis is definitely gay- there is not one part of my mind that doubts that)- but I think they all want to get rid of the marketing specifically to a younger fan base and get rid of all the silly merchandise they have. You can tell they give no fucks about that. 

scoutkate

I think they've made out.

I will never believe that Louis is not doing bum stuff to Harry in that one interview.

secretsout

Harry seriously takes my breath away sometimes (or all the time). 

I will not admit to you all how much time I have spent this week staring at the videos I took last weekend.

I'm not naive, but he thought of any of the members, especially L, doing drugs makes my heart hurt.

I don't like to think about it either. 

scoutkate

I'm really not bothered about the drugs tbh.

littlestjerry

I'm fine with them snorting some coke at a party or something, but legitimate drug addiction or heavy use makes me want to cry. Zayn and Louis are so skinny though. I just think the worst here. This band is ruining my life today.

Rogue Lily

I think Louis looks like a junkie. That vacancy in his eyes was not always there.

secretsout

The last 7 days have been so amazing for me, that I don't know what I'm going to do.  I'm trying to just remember how great it has all been, so that I don't get sad, but as it is all sort of waning, I feel almost panicky.

But, there is hope!  There are things to strive for!  We have to keep going and remain positive!  We will get through this!

I'm legitimately in a dark place.

But isn't this usually the darkest time of year? The end of tour season, the beginning of promo season, and when Harry has his December "relationship".

It's cyclical. The tides will turn again.

Sigh... I've gone overboard. I no longer think Larry is real. It's sad. My heart hurts and I feel sick.

I also think Louis is gay. I also think Louis and Zayn are using (more than socially).

I did a little research on Haroline and I kind of ship them. Although if Harry is going to bone any 30 something's I'd like it to be me...

Or as N*Sync would say "IT'S GONNA BAY MAYYYY!!!" Lol

Will they have a break at all between WWA ending and the next tour?

As it stands, their last WWA date is Sunday in Miami.  I assume they'll have a little break, then maybe/hopefully some decent promo leading up to their album release in November.  Then they start touring Australia in February. 

My guess is that they will be mostly off in December and January. 

On the plus side (for us, not them, lol), this is nowhere near as long a break as there was between TMH and WWA.  But, the fact that they are holding out on releasing more tour dates is make me really nervous.

mmdd20

I am definitely starting to think it may have never been more than just a really close friendship. And I definitely don't think they are anything more than friends at the moment. I feel like they probably both have these magnetic personalities, the kind that draw people in, drew each other in. They had a special kind of friendship and it pains me that they are no longer that way (in public, at least).

Also, am I the only one who is not 100% sold that Louis is 100% gay? I don't know why, but I kind of feel like he may have a Mick Jagger thing going, even when Harry probably would fit into that mold better based on public perception. I don't know. I am just not sold on him being 100% gay and I don't know why. P

littlestjerry

Ok, no they've touched lips and penises guys. Just don't think they do it anymore.

I am really hoping this is true... I just need to get back to this place and it will all be ok.

And while I could find 1,000,000 gifs of Harry "being" more "gay" than that, the difference between the two is that when we see Harry have a gay moment - it's intentional. He is doing it to be funny, campy or entertaining.

Those gifs of Louis are in his natural habitat. Those are his mannerisms when he has his guard down and he is 100% gay. 

Ok, that makes sense, when you put it that way.

I am easily pursuaded.

secretsout

Sometimes I wonder if maybe Harry and Louis don't hang out as much because they have different interests.  Like, Louis likes drugs and Harry likes to be healthy.  But I honestly think that they are still really close.  We just don't get to see it.  Whether it is because management keeps them apart, or because they choose to hide it on their own, who knows. 

Their avoidance of each other on stage is too intentional to be natural (as in they avoid because they dislike each other) or accidental. 

secretsout

Yeah.  My impression is that Harry doesn't give a shit what people say, but that Louis does, and so Harry goes along with what Louis wants to protect him and to be a good friend.

mmdd20

I could just stare at Louis all day, every day.

I really hope you guys are right about them being close when not in public. Like really, really.

Of course they are. You don't go from this:

to hating someone. They will always be the best of friends, no matter what.

So if Larry was never real (which I don't really believe), then why the complete turnaround in their behaviour at all? If they have nothing to hide, why can't they continue to be touchy feely all the damn time?





This does vex me.

Also, if we believe the diggingandfluff person on tumblr, they acted couple-y at an event in February.

And the Rio pic is quite couple-y.

These are the issues that keep me awake at night.

I honestly think they are just trying any angle they can to stop the rumors. At first it was a funny thing to them and it didn't bother them. Then Louis got a girlfriend and she was legitimately harassed by the fans. Harry had a girlfriend (Caroline) and she was also harassed, to the point where they just called it off. 

I think that's when it stopped being funny to them. When the fans took it from "aw, cute, bromance" to SCREW U MANAGEMENT U ARE FORCING THEM INTO A CLOSET. I think that's when they realized that it was like this really serious thing, so they tried to deny it in interviews and that didn't work. Then Louis decided to call it complete bullshit on twitter, but again - that didn't work.

So now they have reached the phase of doing any and everything they possibly can to never be seen together and to not fuel the flame any more.

And Larry shippers are in MAJOR denial about this. They think that it shouldn't be a big deal to them, if they are straight. But seriously? Let's think about this rationally - if you were straight and people were calling you gay to the point that they are calling your girlfriend a beard and sending her death threats, commenting on all her photos and telling her that her life is fake? Dude - that is hurtful. So I mean, the fact that they are uncomfortable with this situation does not mean that Larry is real. You simply cannot infer anything from it at all.

Larry shippers are also choosing to ignore the fact that these boys do have autonomy. Sure, they have handlers, and management, but they are not so tightly controlled that they cannot go where they want, say what they want and do what they want.

Louis is not afraid to throw ten kinds of shade in a perfume interview, letting everyone know how stupid he thinks it is - why do Larry shippers think that he would cave into the pressure of a management team that told him he isn't allowed to look at his best friend?

He wouldn't.

Whatever the reason is that Harry and Louis have chosen to avoid each other on stage - it is definitely their choice. 

And personally, I am now leaning that they are doing it in hopes that something is eventually going to sink in with the Larry crowd.  It's sad that this is where we are, but hey, it is what it is. I just hope that they will realize that this also isn't working and they will go back to just being themselves. It makes me sad that they can't just live. You know?

mind-reader.

I have a lot of feelings on this, but they are hard for me to express.

wesleycrusher

The only thing that gets me (and this is from Larry blogs, so I don't know if it's exaggerated or not) was that they were so touchy-feely in the beginning and that it stopped when they realized they had the chance to make it huge. At first it was that they might put out an album or two in the UK and ride on their X-factor fame and then fizzle out.  So no one really cared what they did in their personal life or interviews.  Then all the sudden they're coming to America, a huge new partly-homophobic market and that's when they start to "hate" each other, Eleanor started, etc. Coincidence? Or maybe played up by management? 

I have a hard time with Larry shippers being like "he knows what he's doing and what we think everything means."  I feel like that could go the opposite way, too. Like DH said when I told him about Larry- what if their playing into the Larry thing to keep certain fans tuned in.  You can't tell me management wouldn't think of that, esp if they have such control over everything else. 

secretsout

Do we really think Harry is 100% straight?  Because I'm not there.

I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up with a woman.  But I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up with a man, either.
