Dusty Styles + Ted Tomlinson
Wow. I didn’t realize so many people didn’t know about this adorable, yet cringeworthy point in time. I have received so many questions, so I thought I would make a larger post about it. To my knowledge, since the accounts have long-since been deleted (anything you find now on Twitter or Facebook is run by fans), around December 31, 2010, Harry made a Facebook and Twitter account “for his cat,” Dusty Styles. At the same time, Louis made accounts “for his dog,” Ted Tomlinson. This was right after X Factor finished up, and if I had to guess, around the time the boys officially started dating. The accounts were most likely made because they had to delete their real Facebooks due to X Factor fans finding them. They thought they were being sly by pretending that Dusty and Ted were in a relationship, a cat and a dog. Yes, these accounts were real and run by Harry and Louis. Their mothers, sisters and friends all friended, followed and interacted with them. The boys had no idea how big they would become or that their fans would essentially be the FBI, so at the time, I am sure it seemed like a great idea.
And, since this was Harry’s reaction to fireworks, I think it is safe assume, this was Harry talking, not the cat:
Okay, “Dusty” - cause dogs and cats go to the cinema all the time.
Wow, Harry. Buying flowers from your cat for Louis’ dog is really committing to this story isn’t it? But honestly, Harry bought flowers for his new boyfriend and that is so damn cute. But he also made this fantastic video (and this is the last time I will be posting it!):
The video only has 41,000 views after all these years, which is low compared to most Larry proof videos, so I guess it really was not common knowledge.
They had been dating probably a month or less and they were saying they loved each other and wanted to be together forever. Let that sink in.
This is both beautiful and so sad. Two-ish months into their new, sweet, relationship and they already knew there would be obstacles. This is honestly as sweet as the AIMH tweet. It is reassuring. Also, once again, they were talking about FOREVER. Baby boyfriends fell hard.
Here is some proof that the accounts were real and run by Louis and Harry. Jay, Louis’ mom, interacted with them quite a lot:
And that is the tale of baby boyfriends, being cute and gross and super in love, but not as sneaky as they thought. These accounts were short-lived for obvious reasons.
