You know what, if larry isnât real, I Wanna ask louis why he got the dagger tattoo that is perfectly complementary with Harryâs rose. its so ?? and its not like were making things up that its a matching one. He deadass got one and hets are like ok but L got an E tattoo which points to elk and iâm like uhm u serious it can also stand for edward so đ
I dig the Edward theory, anon!Â
The dagger tattoo is perhaps the most significant of them all. Not because he got it, after a year, but because of the timing that he got it. November 2014 was one hell of a fucking ride. Looking at all the facts, it was one loud scream for freedom and a big fuck you to everyone keeping them in the closet. It was as loud as he could get. And it was necessary.Â
A quick recap of the preceding events:
2012: Louis and Harry start getting complimentary tattoos - mostly nautical - here a (non exhaustive i think) overview
Source: 78.media.tumblr.com
September 2013: Harry gets the rose, fans start speculating that Louis might get a dagger, but they get the anatomical heart and arrow. No dagger for a year.
30 October 2014: Apple CEO Tim Cook comes out as gay at which occasion the rainbow apple logo is revived by the papers. Interestingly the ânot that importantâ and âdonât knock it til you try itâ interviews are taped that same day. The fandom is still blissfully unaware though.Â
3 November: The ânot that importantâ interview comes out - in short, asked which traits they find important in a girl, Liam says âfemaleâ, and Harry replies ânot that importantâ.Â
4 November: Harryâs statement is all over the papers and speculations become loud, everyone is asking: did he just come out as bisexual? Harry instagrams an armchair captioning âseatedâ. Might as well have said âwhere is the popcorn?â
5 November: Rainbow Direction launches the rainbow heart badges to show support to Harryâs âcoming outâ of sorts and create safe spaces for fans to discuss LGBTQ+issues - 22.000 people download them to their profiles that week - rainbow hearts are everywhere.
Later that same day, the live FOUR hangout is announced for Sunday Nov 9th and fans can send in their questions.
7 November: Louis shows up at the X factor rehearsal wearing a rainbow apple shirt. Considering context of the past weekâs events, a LOT of people see that as support to Harry, and Tim Cook
9 November:Â The Independentâs Jenn Selby âs article is published saying âLouis Tomlinson supports gay Apple CEO Tim Cook - days after Harry Stylesâ comments on gender and sexualityâ also referring to the fandomâs support for Harry with the rainbow hearts. This is how itâs featured on the front page:
That evening the FOUR hangout is broadcast and itâs the most akward interview ever. Rather than coming from fans, several of the questions seem to be set up to give Louis and Harry the opportunity to deny their rumoured sexuality/relationship . Except they donât. (if youâre brave, watch 12 cringy long minutes from 8 to 20). Also, itâs November and itâs cold, but they are in their T shirts, matching tattoos out, and Louis keeps adjusting his boatneck âIt is what it isâ.  Also Liam asks âHave you read the article in the Independent?â Louis âNo, is it good?â Liam âYeah"Â
10 November: We get papshots of Louis at the lawyerâs near Harryâs public house and heâs looking cheerful and therefore so are we, but that doesnât last long. Late that afternoon shady agenda anons start imbuing the fandom with âitâs just the vintage apple logoâ but weâre not having it. That evening, @Louis_Tomlinson tweets Jen Selby the same shit, but worse,it gets personal, itâs homophobic, itâs vicious and Iâm not in a mood to recap or link it, may it disappear from the face of the earth. Interestingly a few minutes later followed by the more vague âRidiculous I even have to tweet that shitâ - some people think this is real Louis shading 1DHQ - weâll never know - but I like to think so.Â
11 November: Louisâ tweets to Selby get noticed and suddenly the story about that Independent article and @LTâs homophobic reaction is all over the place. Harry captions the following pic on his IG with âfunny moneyâ
???: Lottie :( on Twitter
14 November: Harry instagrams twice, one picture of a cracked wall saying âlovely viewâ, and another âno such greenâ which we think links to the funny money.Â
15 November:Â The interview in which Harry says to Niall - âDonât knock it til you try itâ about sex with a man (also filmed 30 Oct) is aired. TMHFN/Rainbow Direction ask for an apology.
17 November: on Elounorâs anniversary, this appears on Jayâs Instagram
Itâs is deleted minutes later and her twitter says it was a hack.Â
Also, interestingly, Lottie tweets âno point in sorry when the damage is already done. some things canât be forgivenâ Â
Itâs a hectic few days, as while they are in Orlando, Zayn doesnât show up for a gig, Harry serenades Louis, oh and news comes out that our beloved security guy/tour manager Paul quits. Supposedly something to do with Zayn. November 2014 was so wild on all levels.Â
23 November: At the AMAâs Harry serenades Louis *again* and he also sits next to Louisâ parents.Â
26 November: we see that Louis got the long anticipated dagger tattoo, a quote (given a chance), and a second smiley xx) this time on his wrist
And in case we missed it, next shoot, heâs pointing right at it:Â
I call that LOUD, LOUD, and LOUD.Â
They were trying to break out of the closet in November 2014. Their family were trying to help them break them out of the closet in November 2014. Everyone wanted to help them break out of the closet in November 2014. 1DHQ pushed back. And Louis responded in the only way he could. I donât see how you could interpret all of this any differently.Â
