Wed 6 Jan ‘21

One Direction news time, cause that's definitely the only thing of note happening in the world today!! Well TBH US police letting other white supremacists run rampant and do whatever they want is much less surprising to me than Harry actually dating a woman would be, so let's just get on with our distraction and investigate that shall we?

First up, rumors of a Zayn single and I KNOW I KNOW, but like sooner or later some of this Zayn news has to be true right?? And this one seems plenty likely so WHY NOT-- according to Power Radio UK maaaybe a Zayn single tomorrow called Vibez! That would be awesome, I hope so, and maybe the video he was filming in Dec was for that! I look forward to finding out. Liam has announced the openers for his upcoming final Veeps show; UK singer songwriter Nina Nesbitt, 16 year old Claire Rosinkranz, and Liam's very own cousin performer Ross Harris (that'll be the family member he told us would be featured).

And, yes, so many pap pics of Harry and Olivia today (and of Olivia and her husband who are getting papped almost as much as her and her new 'beau' innnnteresting)-- but they aren't new pics exactly. Today's morning batch were taken the same time as that single one of them at the house we saw back on Monday (maybe that one wasn't mean to go out the other day so we wouldn't know that, no wonder those UAs got suspended! Oopsy!), and the same day as Harry's hiking pic (released yesterday). Is the plan to take a week's worth every weekend and release them at the same press time every day or is that just this week? Well in any case, the Wednesday batch show Harry tenderly holding his hand to her back... er well, about 4 inches away that is, the two of them engaging in scandalous, uh, masked eye contact, and Olivia wearing Harry's accessories (and her enagagement ring, if we're tracking accessories- but then Harry is usually wearing his engagement rings too, it's only fair.) They are accompanied by a slew of coworkers and managers, for that extra touch of Romance.

LISTEN THOUGH. Is the reason they had to set up a whole pap extravaganza to get Holivia properly moving that we failed to react properly to the more subtle attempts? Remember when Harry was papped on set in that pastel jogger and shirt combo and we thought oh, it's to show us the vote shirt on election day? Well, I'm sure it was, but why do one thing when you can do at at least three (regular promo, get out the vote advocacy, repping Jeff's sister's clothing brand, AND setting up for a stunt)-- just a few days later Olivia posted a picture of herself in the same shirt. I guess we should have asked why she was drawing attention to a Vote shirt that way after the election, why Harry was papped with her specifically on set multiple times, why she was defending him online, etc-- but instead everyone was like hmm a friend aw how nice :). I'm FASCINATED by the possibility that the bar for the public to believe Harry is dating a woman has risen to the point where the tried and true methods aren't working and they had to be like well fuck. We're really going to have to step it up a notch huh? Anyway rememeber kids: clothes sharing means you're dating! They're all in with it now with her getting papped left and right in his accessories and car, but she's gonna have to show up in the Vogue dress next to out-do years of Harry and Louis' shared wardrobe, though I think Harry in a dress of hers would be an original twist that could be fun-- again, why get only ONE kind of headline when you can multitask?

Maybe the second set of pap pics out today (Harry, Olivia, Jeff, Glenne and Tommy Bruce frolicking in the streets of Santa Barbara and packing into Harry's convertible like the cast of a low budget teen party movie) prompting the secondary trend #harrywearamask and fandom outrage over their blithe disregard for recommended protocol wasn't the multitasking they had in mind though. Are they in fact a pod of some sort, very likely, are they the lowest possible risk group as rich young white people who can fully avoid contact with anyone at higher risk and do they stay outdoors for all of this, also yes, would it have been difficult to forsee that the optics of it would enrage people given that the situation in LA right now is about equivalent to Italy last March only without the government action that might help, I meeeean-- isn't understanding optics your JOBS you fookin losers?? Meanwhile fans hacked security camera footage to prove that Harry wears a mask in his down time and that the no mask look was... for optics?! Not sure I follow love but all right.

Uhhuh, stupid question time, sorry. I searched and seem to be quite bad at it in this environment. Now that 1ddiscourseoftheday is out where should one go for the daily or even weekly updates for the shenanigans? (I love larrylimericks but it doesn't fit the bill.) All the other same kind of update accounts I have marked are out of business too. Do you follow or know any?

I knoooow I was also a big fan, made a larry blog rec and then POOF bye goes the fav like the next day. Loved them but sometimes life has other plans. Sooo I know @larrytimelines did a May recap and it looks like they're planning on making it a thing <3, as well as @louisshomesharry that has recaps like this although I get you're looking for something more descriptive. I'm sure it's a load of work to get not just the 2 but all of ot5 in one place daily let alone cherry pick the top moments monthly. But if anyone's up for the task please take the stage (im actually begging please it was my lil bedtime read :"( )

*HOME, SOON TO RETURN!!*

Sorry for all the confusion but after being locked out of my account for a month tumblr finally did... something. I don’t know what! I hope it sticks! But I think I’m back!

I have been posting to @1d-discourseoftheday​ but I will shortly be moving all those posts to here for the complete record so apologies to people whose notifications will be effected by that. And then we can resume our regularly scheduled once daily OT5 updates at THIS blog (I will keep that one alive in case of future need but messages there will be received very late if ever, be warned, please come back to our message threads heeeere I don’t want to lose anyone). but now I am back! :)

I’m sorry, I’m gonna lose it here, be warned

You ABSOLUTE PIECE OF ROTTEN SHIT. The chances are high that Harry’s team purposefully asked fans (that flew from across the country to be there, because the most entitled ones weren’t locals) to wait for Harry outside the restaurant? The chances are high?? You’re not only saying there are chances of this, but they’re HIGH?

Why? What the fuck would they gain from it? Why? Why? Why? Why? What fucking indication is there? And no, your demented delusions that anyone that ever meets Harry is a stalker don’t count. When has HSHQ invited stalkers places? When have they given them gifts????? What the FUCK are you talking about, you delusional moron? The only event where sort of stalkers were able to get into were the listening sessions in New York back in 2017, and none of these fans were part of that. There hasn’t even BEEN an event or a gift that they could get their hands into since then. So what the fuck are you talking about? Why are you blaming stalking behavior on the team Harry employs instead on the people engaging in stalking behavior?

In fact, the fans from last night identified themselves as “Louies”

Once again, what would HSHQ gain from having stalkers there? The event Harry was at was covered worldwide, everything from his speech to his hair to his clothes to his shoes, to his guitar playing and voice, all of it got international coverage. And that’s a month before the event airs. He did a press room with Stevie as well where a million HQs were taken. There was a paparazzi that trailed the very moment those disgusting fans approached him. What would they gain from putting Harry in that uncomfortable position? Honest to god, make your delusional ramblings many any sort of sense

Before you accuse them of doing something so heinous, at least think for two seconds on what the possible purpose of that action could be. If there isn’t one (and there isn’t one here) then drop the theory and move on. Don’t spread it around with absolutely no basis to it

Do you not realize you’re victim blaming? Harry is in control of his management company. He owns part of it. He’s best friends with his manager. He’s considered part of his manager’s family. You’re basically saying that it’s Harry’s own fault for not being assertive with a manager that does shit he doesn’t agree with, or that he’s an idiot who doesn’t realize what they’re doing to him

With what high horse do you come for stalkers when you’re doing this bullshit yourself?

You have been disgusting so many times now. You’re the personification of all the worst traits Larries possess, one of the, if not the worst things to come from this fandom

You disgust me and you’re a piece of shit

I would like to send some love to 1ddiscourseoftheday. Since the day the blog popped up, its posts have been a highlight of my days. I really appreciate how they always make me laugh while summarize everything concisely. They always reply to messages and are so nice. So thank you to the mystery person behind the blog!!!

omgosh they really are so hysterical, so here’s to you, myster @1ddiscourseoftheday!

[1d-discourseoftheday]

ALERT!!

looks like @1ddiscourseoftheday​ is under some kind of half ban from tumblr so I’m just getting this set up in case I can’t get it sorted which, knowing tumblr, seems horribly possible :{(((( this is how you can find me if the main goes down (more than it already is- I cannot post already), and where the posts will be for at least the next few days if not longer. sighhhhh

getting this on the main now while I still have limited reblog capacity that I’m pretty sure is just cause the app is slow to understand what’s happening, bless tumblr’s complete lack of functionality :///

💙 Tues 5 Jan ‘21 💚

Is today's biggest story really a pair of socks I mean WHY NOT am I right, that may as well happen! With impeccable timing, as the fandom and the world went bananas about Ho-livia WildStyle (a drag queen name for the ages right there), the first of the limited edition TPWK socks that people ordered basically on blind faith (you fully couldn't tell what they were going to look like at all on the website, and now we know why lmao) have arrived with a bang: they seemed to come with either blue or pink hearts, but in fact it turns out you get one of two color combos, either pink and white or, uh: BLUE AND GREEN HEARTS. I'm not one to carry on about like jeans and a green shirt or what have you but this is a CHOICE, and if the antis don't have performative burnings of their evil larrie merch honestly WHAT is the POINT; the resale market of the limited edition socks is already booming though so there's always that option, if either side can bear to conduct business across the divide. My question is, did they really time it to play out this precisely on purpose? Unlikely tbh, but if that's a thing they're capable of I have some THOUGHTS about the way other Harry merch takes like 4 months to arrive...

Larrie socks aside however, the real discourse continues to be about you-know-what, with the players out there fanning the flames wildly. There's too much nonsense to bother with it all (the quoted sources in the articles directly contradicting each other's stories also makes it difficult) so let's just... *spins wheel*....okay I landed on 'tabloids say Harry's wedding speech talked about his girlfriend Olivia' here goes. Sjksdfjks WHY would you be talking about your girlfriend of three weeks in a speech for your close friends' wedding, OMG, how uncomfortable and inappropriate is that?? Imagine if any of this were real, that Harry ('I'd take my time and make sure a thing was serious before telling people about it', end quote, I mean that's ALSO a stunt quote (oh the layers) but just pointing out that it's contradictory) starts dating his co-worker who just got out of a huge relationship and is also a famous person with presumably an interest in privacy, and immediately the two of you get to work setting up a big reveal to happen right away (even in a weird fantasy world where any of this is real the possibility that JEFF AZOFF'S WEDDING had the paps present for any other reason than to do EXACTLY what they were told is flat impossible- what pap or celeb outlet can afford to be on Jeff's bad list?!) and then he casually writes her into his speech (a guy who's so anxious and shy about public speaking and what to say that he begs people to write speeches for him and practices endlessly) uh huh, sure Jan. There are so many things about this that are ludicrous, but more to the point, none of the things they're saying hold up to scrutiny any better than this. There just isn't any point in taking them that seriously though; Harry is a closeted artist and, just like the many queer artists that came before him who he repeatedly reminds us are his icons, he both lets us know all day every day in a million ways that he's queer, and also plays the industry game and winkingly gives the press their Straight Guy Harry fodder. You don't have to like it, or indeed anything at all in this world, but people do need to accept that whether they like it or not is neither the point nor anyone (including Harry)'s responsibility to respond to or do anything about.

Like I said I can't cover every detail but! I always have a little space for the absurd: today, our best entrant is the possibility that the whole wedding we saw was a sham– fans ask, was this public spectacle Jeff and Glenne's actual wedding? Listen if anyone would be up for it it would be this crew, and if they did stage it I'm sure they had a good laugh! Suspicion has been cast on Glenne's dress (allegedly an untailored 2018 off the rack number), the small guest list (wouldn't they just wait and have a huge event?), and the fact that they invited paps there at all. It would make the no explanation robe pics EVEN FUNNIER though if you imagine that was for our benefit but left totally unadressed (undressed). ANYWAY Don't Worry Darling filming is back in business and Harry was papped some more today, out for a casual not at all pap walk hike with a work associate and multiple items of his own merch (including an unreleased hoodie design.) On the topic of DWD, sometimes a different perspective can be interesting-- for example considering whether Harry is the point of all this at all? Or is he but a bit player in the real DWD publicity drama, an elaborate and very public dramatic reconciliation between Olivia and her ex husband? Either way, he's neither a clueless dupe, a helpless pawn, or anyone's 'boy toy', so please: can we rein in the hand wringing and pointless Olivia bashing a bit?

Let's talk about something else shall we? For example! Liam's setlist, just released for the upcoming LP Show Act 4. Look at that song selection! Fireproof! Strong!! Through The Dark!! More exciting 1D faves! Plus Slow and Home With You off his EP, NICE, singles and more, it looks awesome. The Hugo Man fragrance relaunch is less exciting, featuring the dopiest possible articles full of chat about his skin care routine (oh shucks I'm just  manly man, I don't have one at all... *names two products and refers to 'multiple moisturizers'*), trademark accidental candor (“I’m quite tired!”), and of course trying to describe a fragrance, always an entertaining gymnastics (“every time I spray it, it kind of takes me back to being on that rooftop in Berlin”), but also there are manly new pics of Lia.

A new song Niall co-wrote is coming out! The JC Stewart song, Break My Heart, will be out this Fri! Charlie Lightening posted pics from a year ago on the Walls music video set, featuring an intent Louis in the sun (and fashion voter underrated excellent Looks), and Louis commented on Dave Allen's post (“top man!”)-- the famous boxer is offering to help friends through lockdown by facetiming 3or 4 people a day for home workouts, damn, and also aww. That shitty Doncaster secondary school turned out some really sweet dudes, against all odds tbh. With Los Angeles experiencing some of the worst COVID surges we've seen since the beginning of the pandemic, Grammys organizers have elected to postpone the (already limited) ceremony. Originally scheduled for Jan 31 it is now TBA, tentatively for March. Harry's stalker, who menaced him in and near his London home in 2019, is being charged with violating his restraining order by attempting to contact Harry via social media, Global Fund for Women thanked Harry for donating, and HLDaily and other accounts were suspended for posting pap pics, always a risk, but one trick potato Jeff is on the job; HSD is back up and running, cause they can't have a proper stunt season without their most faithful mouthpieces. Niall continues to vote for himself on twitter threads about what to listen to in the New Year.

Sat 9 Jan ‘21

LP Show Act 4, the Final show was today! Liam told us over and over it was gonna be a long event today but honestly it flew by? It was so good! The show opened right into an absolutely blistering 1D set and just kept going strong from there. The little commentary he had in the first part was to say again that he has a different understanding of the 1D songs then he did when younger and about how when he's doing those songs he gets flashbacks of being onstage with the band and where he'd be and stuff. Only You & I gets a different treatment, with a cute title card intro about the hard year, thanking us for providing a livlihood for his team by supporting the shows through the past year and saying “we can do this together... You & I”, plus it has footage of fans lip syncing along spliced in during the chorus. The highlight there though is when Liam hit that high note, and thanks to his recent comments I think we all know he was thinking about Zayn when he did; way TMI but that's Liam for ya! ANYWAY there's an intermission and then the hits just keep on coming, including Nina Nesbitt coming out to do Rita Ora's part in For You, plus an interlude where they chat and play some of her tiktok content (but with a lot of bleeping-- it WAS a family show!)

I have been a big fan of his chaotic format in the previous streams, with all the interaction and mixing it up with different parts- I feel like it both played to his strengths and was perfect for 2020 and I wouldn't have traded it- but this was very cool for the big last show and it felt like... more serious? It was straightfowardly just Liam and the music and the songs- TBH it felt very influenced by Louis' stream, with the format and also the lighting and set design. The sets were prerecorded, but aren't really edited; he's playing the songs live and back to back, just not TODAY. Plus with the prerecorded version we got Liam joining in with us (and his sisters) to also post about how great the songs were as they aired and interact with fans a bunch, so that was lovely. Anyway it's awesome to get these versions of Liam's songs (I would say the best ever version of some of his solo stuff honestly), especially as it seems like this will be the last time we hear some of them as he moves on to new things- as he says at the end of the stream, “I'm gonna take a little bit of time out right now but next time you see me I'll be singing some brand new music.” Fans hoping for new music TODAY were disappointed but he's gotta go write the songs first! Something to look forward to! He finishes it all on one last high note: “Thank you. Here's to the future.”

But that's not quite all the Liam! Before the big event, he did a live from home, with Maya and Winston the puppy present. He upset some by saying that Zayn wasn't in the 1D chat “because he isn't in 1D”, I mean...yes? He quit? It is what it is guys. Well, I'll also upset others by saying that Maya was very funny! I agree with Liam that her answer to his question- what kind of trend he should start about fans saying looks like Jesus- being “LPhasRisen” is, in fact, hilarious, and I also agree with Liam about Zayn's videos-- “he goes to town on the videos doesn't he?” (and that Vibez is lovely.)

Zayn meanwhile is doing Vibez promo and it continues to be a TREAT. Today we got late night instagram “answering” questions over a backdrop of Homer Simpson decked out in Nobody Is Listening gear, GOOD TIMES. Do you ride a horse often, “eh what?!” do you celebrate, “in general? or for specific reasons?” fave song “the next single” tell us more about it? “yeah it's me ft me” but does he really love yoga or was that just snark? The world may never know.

Also online, Louis! He tweeted during Liam's show “Hope everyone's doing alright! Stay safe”- but was he watching the stream? “Of course!!”

And the JHOlivia love triangle tabloid soap opera continues-- if they're trying to get people talking about Jason Sudeikis it's working (I had to bite the bullet and look up how to spell his name! It's that bad!); unfortunately for him despite the tabloid reports everywhere you look that suggest that he was the victim of H and O 'becoming close' before he and Olivia's breakup (which is weird given that until like yesterday we'd been told for months that O and J broke up at the beginning of 2020 and he never saw fit to correct that), what rumors are saying is that in fact he really did cheat (as opposed to her pretend thing). So why would Olivia sign on to this charade to make him look good at her expense? Who knows man but if the players' priority is publicity there's no denying that's working.

Anyway Niall posted from his bike ride, and Trump's deletion meant everyone went up a notch in the twitter “most followed” rankings, with Niall having most out of our five and the only account coming between Harry and Louis being Real Madrid (football club) which is all right I guess, I feel like they're probably good with that.
