Welcome!

I’ve gotten a bunch of new followers lately, so I want to point some things out (and I’ll pin this post). This is a January 2026 edit.

I’m Liz, I’m in my 40s (I don’t update my age all the time because I got bored). I identify as cis and queer or lesbian. I spent a lot of my life just thinking I was a bad straight person before I realized I was queer at 35 (I used to be married to a dude). I’m a white person committed to abolition and I live in the United States.

I’ve been in the 1D fandom since January 2015, and I’ve always been a Larrie. And that means I believe Harry and Louis are together and that none of the stunts are real. Oh, I also believe OT4 will return although who knows when. (What a gut punch to edit this in 2026. I don't think there's a universe where they return without Liam.)

My fav posts of mine: 1D Lightning in a Bottle, Louis is their Leader

More than anything, I believe in curating your internet experience. I don’t take following or unfollowing personally. I’m not for everyone. And everyone is not for me.

Here’s what we talk about on this blog (and their tags):

Heated Rivalry: #heated rivalry As of late 2025, I've started blogging about Heated Rivalry. The edits to 1D songs has me enjoying things that were making me sad.

Larrie-ing: #larrie ing #baby boyfriends #husbands #intimate physicality #head canon accepted (this is for receipts & head canons because the difference isn’t always clear) #most beautiful boys

Fan Fiction: I read fic, I enjoy it. I enjoy explicit fic so this is not a place for minors. #fic rec #fic venn diagram #gina fic list (these are @twopoppies​ lists.

Ticket Stuff: When we’re live touring, I talk about what I know about best practices for actually getting tickets #ticket stuff. I also have #has tickets and #needs tickets. That wisdom will change. I also coordinated ticket donations for Louis: Live from London. It started here and went here.

Data Geekery: I enjoy both relational databases and spreadsheets. I like to use them for One Direction. #data nerd

Business Stuff: I have made merch for a living and lived a lot of business related lives, so I do talk about things from that perspective. #harry merch is usually me being upset.

Downloadable Albums: Often, I’ll take audios at shows I go to and then cut them into an album to download. Sometimes, I just reblog when others have done the same. #downloadable album

Justice & Politics: I talk about both justice and politics. I should have a consistent tag for this and I do not. I agree with @dogsliampaynedoesntinstagram​ on a lot of things and do tag those posts with #ralph if only so I can find them later.

Other stuff: Things that feel big and important are #my opinion (although I have to go back through here because some things have changed), things that are my OP I usually tag #mine and then #opinion.

Tags for Harry: #ask me why I love Harry Styles #beautiful demon #fluffy demon #most beautiful boy #fashionista harry #songwriter harry #the big gay tour #the big gay arena tour #harry live #hs2our

Tags for Louis: #the tommo way #I was always the boss #boss louis #songwriter louis #xfactor louis #louis live #louis 2020 gig #most beautiful boy #fashionista louis #lt1 tour

Did you see that the states that chose to not accept that Ticketmaster/Live Nation settlement, ended up winning against them in court. Now, to see if it’ll make any type of difference. Why the government settled it, I’ll never know.

I just saw the headline but haven’t seen the whole thing. A girl can dream.

I just said to people who only care about golf that I’m pulling for Rory and Justin Rose because they are the One Direction adjacent golfers.

It's not just me, right? Not just you, what? You feel it too, don't you?

Given that Tomlinson is the 1D member with the most writing credits across the band’s discography, it’s not surprising to hear that the singer-songwriter played an active part in shaping all arrangements, lyrics and sounds on the new record.

“He’s very inspiring to sit with,” nods Rebscher. “Every song has a concept that Louis brings into the room. Sometimes he just leaves it to me, and I think it’s great that he does, because I can do my shit, and then at some point he comes back and listens and gives me feedback, and we talk about things. 

"We’ll work on guitar riffs or vocal lines together – that’s the kind of stuff he loves doing. He gives great feedback and arrangement ideas. He also takes a little bit of time off while I’m completely in the zone; it’s great to have somebody not listening the whole time, because you somehow lose the overview in a way.”

Does anyone else sit around waiting for someone to say the last couple years have been a lie and Liam isn’t really gone?

“You got it WRONG when I was explaining it mate…” from Harry Styles Live on Tour - Manchester, UK - April 9, 2018 (x)

I know a lot of people might think Harry is talking to a partner (cough Louis cough) in Season 2 Weight Loss and I think that’s true for a few lines (I think Harry mixes metaphors in his lyrics… often) but actually, I think he’s talking to himself at times, and at other times, he’s talking to us. His fans.

I think it’s him wrestling with the expectations of all of his fans. “Do you want a piece or nothing at all?” If I don’t fit who you are, will you hate me? Will you reject me?

“Do you love me now? Do I let you down?”

He is constantly hearing what people think of him. Of what they see him as. Of what they want from him. I imagine it’s exhausting. And that’s why I think “do you love me now” is repeated so often. What does he have to do for you to love him?

If you don’t mind, if you’ve got time, we’ll play some old ones is the Harriest thing to say.

Does it fucking kill you too? Not anymore.
