“I STILL DON’T KNOW WHAT LOUIS’ ASS TATTOO IS UGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!”
Louis and Love You Goodbye
I don't know if someone posted about this before but it was kind of a discovery or sort for me (hey! you know what I mean!). Okay, I was listening to Love You Goodbye on Valentine's Day.. I know right. I'm so sad. But on a side note while I had the song that Louis actually wrote in repeat for at least six times, I kind of realized maybe he was referring to something deeper than clothes. "Oh, why you wearing that to walk out of my life?" I just think he might not be referring to someone's clothes that they could have worn any day. His line was basically 'why are you wearing that if you're going to leave me?' 'why the fuck do you have that if you're going to break my heart in the end?' I'm not saying it's deeper than it seemed and he may be was referring to tattoos but it's deeper than it seemed and he was referring to tattoos. Like, "Why do we have these tattoos if you're just going to walk away?" But then again, that's me. x
The Larry Tattoos
To me, they weren't matching tattoos. Not exactly. They're more like complementary tattoos like instead of two spoons, they got spoon and fork. Like Oops and Hi. Rose and dagger. Heart and arrow. Ship and compass. Anchor and rope. Oh, well. x

The origin of “Larry Stylinson”
What’s the origin of the phrase “Larry Stylinson”?
We all know Harry tweeted this on 22 November 2010:
So I wondered when the first mention of the phrase on Twitter really was, and the results surprised me.
There’s only 1 previous mention on Twitter and it was nearly a month before this tweet on 28 October 2010:
The phrase “Larry Stylinson” was a Tumblr term, not a Twitter creation. In fact, when Harry tweeted his tweet mentioning the phrase, most of the replies were asking what it was or saying how cute the name it was. Many people hadn’t heard it on Twitter until that day.
The @Larry_Stylinson twitter wasn’t even created until a day after Harry’s tweet on 23 November 2010:
The link in the first tweet on Twitter leads you to a tumblr that is no longer in the 1D fandom, but was active in the early days of X Factor. They are noteworthy because they reblogged a lot of gifs and pictures of Harry and Louis from X Factor. At the time, many tumblr blogs focused on the group as a whole or on Harry or Liam. The emphasis on the early concept of “Larry” is noticeable.
The twitter post itself leads to this picture posted on 28 October 2010 (taken 4 October 2010 in Week 1):
With this caption:
So the first Tumblr to use the phrase appears to be the “fuckyeahharrystyles” tumblr, nearly a month before Harry & Gemma’s phone conversation. This is funny to me, because that’s the tumblr I linked to the 3 of the 5 pictures Harry posted to his yfrog on 19 November 2010 but never tweeted.
What does it mean?
I’m not sure, but I have a theory. So in a 3-hour window, someone uploaded 4 Harry pictures (some of them edits to include just Harry in the picture, and 1 edited picture of Harry and Louis). 3/5 pictures came from fuckmeharrystyles.tumblr.com, and one of the pictures included that watermark. I think it’s possible Louis did it as a bit of a flirty prank on Harry. He knew he would see it when he logged back into yfrog. Otherwise, Harry was trolling tumblr sites about himself uploading pictures of himself and never tweeted them. That seems a bit odd to me. I think, given the context of their time and relationship and age, that it’s possible this was one more way Louis was flirting with Harry.
So what does this all mean about the phrase “Larry Stylinson”? A couple of things.
Harry’s tweet did, in fact, light the “Larry Stylinson” engines on Twitter, ground zero of the fan base at the time. This happened in week 7 of the show, and everyone around it at the time was genuinely in love with the flirty relationship being played out on the cameras.
However, the origin of the term was tumblr, meaning Gemma most likely was around tumblr at the time, and told Harry about the term and the way fans there had noticed the special connection between Harry & Louis.
It’s clear that the early phrase and concept didn’t bother anyone in or around the group (and, in fact, didn’t until @Louis_Tomlinson called it “bullshit” almost 2 full years later). They knew about the context of the phrase being used on blogs posting pictures of Harry & Louis they found on facebook, cropping group photos to just Harry & Louis photos that Harry (or Louis) posted to Harry’s own yfrog, and posting gifs and edits like this:
There were certainly less “believers” back in the early days. The fandom, in its infancy, was much less rigid and divided. But on tumblr, especially, there were several blogs that noticed the less platonic and more romantic behavior of Harry & Louis at the time, and these blogs were the creators of the “Larry Stylinson” phrase.
To argue Gemma, who didn’t hear about the “Larry Stylinson” phenomenon on Twitter, didn’t understand the context around the phrase is unlikely.
I’M SHOOK.

I just hope Mr. Deep Throat and Poppycock wish me luck..

Me @ school today
*was busy with research defense, trying to practice for unexpected panel questions*
blockmate: what is fringe? (talking about fringe benefits; we’re Management majors)
me: *talks seriously* fringe is that loose caramel locks across a beautiful sun-kissed angel’s forehead that is louis tomlinson.
blockmate:
She can’t believe I managed to get into Uni and pass five semesters when I’m always like this lol
*blows dust off* AN ANCIENT RELIC
Should I start on saying that an Elk symbolizes “Pride” or this dumbass might get dragged too much?
The day the whole fandom believes @Louis deleted the Always in My Heart tweet, Louis follows a fan with the tweet as her header (his only follow that day, and in the weeks prior to that, and in the weeks that followed that).
The day before the bullshit 2.0 tweet, Ben Winston spent the WHOLE LIVESTREAM goading Louis into saying he hated the ‘gay rumours’, that he regretted doing stuff that fuelled Larry, that they were in complete control of everything. And Louis consistently refused to comply and constantly made jokes to deflect.
In that same livestream, Louis mentions The Independent doing write ups about them, and Liam asks him if he saw that [article] the only article that The Independent had published in the past few WEEKS that Louis could be interested in was the one in which they congratulate him for his support of Tim Cook in coming out.
Mere DAYS after the bullshit 2.0 tweet, Louis gets a tattoo that this side of the fandom had been predicting and talking about for fourteen months. He takes pictures pointing to it (even though he got another tattoo that same day on his right wrist, there were no pictures of him pointing at it). The tattoo artist defines the tattoo as DAGGER, which is the exact name this side of the fandom was using. Not knife, blade, bayonet or another similar word. DAGGER.
Harry tweets the exact lyrics of a song that says “I can’t think straight, I’m so gay”.
Harry spends thousands of pounds in gay-friendly (ahem) art.
Harry is more committed and consistent in supporting the LGBTQ+ community than anything else he’s ever supported or talked about (dolphins, feminism, charities…)
From 2013 on and consistently, Harry has shown annoyance when asked about girls:
I: I needed to ask [about liking older women] H: did you?
I: a lot of girls would like for you to touch them like this [while he was buttoning a male interviewer’s shirt] H: well I’m on you now
H: she’s not my girl, I know what you’re doing
H: I have a lot of friends, some of them are girls, and apparently I’m dating all of them
[presented with the situation of chatting up a girl in a bar] H: where are we in a bar? are we in America? Well I can’t go to a bar in America, so…
[about the constant rumours of him and girls] H: it gets old after a while, constantly denying it. It gets boring. I’m bored of it.
H: *refuses to talk about Taylor Swift and constantly evades the questions*
H: *looks uncomfortable with questions about hooking up with fans, but is forced to answer* (even though Louis had absolutely no issues with lying about smoking weed, if this topic made Harry uncomfortable, he could’ve just lied, as Michael McIntyre said…)
H: you’re wrong, you’re wrong [about his luck with ladies]
From 2013 on and consistently, Harry has shown he has no issues with casting doubts on his sexuality.
Not that important.
Don’t knock it till you try it.
He’s outrageously handsome, isn’t he? He is steamy.
They have nice shorts (about a football team).
*cutthroat motion with a smile when asked what four things he sucks at* *smirks and says ‘lollipops’*
Never, never again (about having a crush on a girl).
Both Harry and Louis have made an inordinate amount of sexual innuendo jokes throughout the years, whether with each other or with other people. Never, not ONCE showing awkwardness presented with such a joke.
Both Harry and Louis danced around each and every denial about their relationship and only managed to say the word ‘no’ when asked point blank in questions that couldn’t be swayed (and even that only happened twice in six years).
Both Harry and Louis point to signs both about LGBTQ+ support and about their relationship, are extremely pleasant with fans that they know think they’re together, continue to follow such fans on social media (and even interact with them).
Louis has a tattoo that’s historically tied with the LGBTQ+ community and that an openly gay man he knows (Nick) has tattooed on his arm as well.
They stopped interacting to an exaggerated degree, even though every time they do interact they’re smiley, pleasant and obviously in excellent terms with each other.
Their families are tangled together and have been since the start of the band. Way more than any of the other boys’ families.
The bears. All of it.
The lack of denial (or any kind of measure) of Ziam, even though we’re supposed to believe Liam is the biggest 'no homo’ guy out there and Ziam has evolved in a topic way bigger than 'Larry’ was in 2012 (when the separation and the denials started).
The mental gymnastics you have to do to find explanations and excuses for each and every one of these things should tell you enough. Most of the times, the explanations for these things are just plain stupid. Occam’s razor.
have you ever seen something more pure than harry melting into fondness because he and louis started talking at the same time
