UNPRECEDENTED TIMES IN FANDOM
Now we know why they ended Elounor just in time for the documentary announcement
I don’t really like bringing up old beards but i’m kinda confused with this, do you know why El still has the L “tattoo” even after the break up articles and everything? Do they like not wanna completely cancel out the option of getting the stunt back together or do u maybe think it could be a real tattoo meant for someone else but they conveniently used it for the Elounor narrative too
Hi dear,
Both the L tattoo and the E tattoo are 10000000% REAL TATTOOS so of course they still have them... and they could keep them forever.
They can choose to remove it, but it takes time and several sessions. Or they can choose to cover it with something else. Or they'll just leave it be. In my opinion those tattoos were a really easy PR compromise for them so they wouldn't have to do much more "in your face" PR work (like never ending pap walks and pics). And they also worked as a massive "gotcha" to larries bc one of the biggest "larry proofs" has always been Harry's and Louis' complementary tattoos, so this was a way for them to be like, 'oh yeah, what are you gonna say now that he has a tattoo for Eleanor??? huh?? fuck you'.
More about the E tattoo and my thoughts here.
does this need seeding though? casual fans or gp won't see the arcade videos it was circulated within the fandom no update accounts posted it. as they've proven before they change narratives within mere hours. like eleanor was still hanging out at the stunt house when they were supposedly broken up but it wasn't announced yet (2015 one i mean)
Hi dear,
In my opinion it does need it. The way to approach this is as any other PR campaign. And as such, they are/would use marketing strategies for it. In this case, the smartest way to go about it is employing a marketing campaign targeting the different fanbase groups. Essentially you use strategies for super fans, casual fans and gp, etc. And they're all slightly different. It's a fact that spreading pics and videos through fandom is a way of marketing. We know this from countless 1D and solo marketing campaigns. So yeah, while this particular video isn't in the press, it has reached super fans - and that's the point.
It is my opinion that babygate will be used as PR, so it makes sense to employ these strategies.
Eleanor isn't that famous so the news of them splitting could be dropped out of nowhere. But even that was preceded by fandom rumors in 2015, or in other words, 'super fan' marketing and seeding if you will. And the news dropped as tabloid articles with pictures of Louis kissing some other girl in a pool were circulating, and in the middle of the chaos that Zayn leaving the band caused. I mean, the breakup announcement came 2 days after Zayn left. 2 days. It's a classic PR strategy to divert attention from bad press. And having a band member, who up until then was the one with the "childhood sweetheart girlfriend" back home, have a scandalous breakup announced as pictures of him kissing a different girl spread in the press - that is as much diversion as one gets.
"March 15, 2015 - Eleanor geotags herself at Louis public home.
March 18, 2015 - Zayn’s last concert with One Direction. Zayn tweets his 22 year old tweet. Hadine breakup.
March 19, 2015 - Zayn leaves the tour
March 21, 2015 - Louis and Eleanor breakup announced, pool girl pictures in The Sun.
March 25, 2015 - Zayn leaves One Direction."
Timeline excerpt from this post
Handling the press narrative regarding "finding out" your kid isn't yours is entirely different and way more impactful and delicate than a breakup announcement from an unknown girlfriend. So the way they use PR for it will reflect that.
Note: in relation to this post
LT2, CO and stunts
*Disclaimer: this is my speculation given the current situation. Things aren’t written in stone, and plans change. We also don’t know things at play behind the scenes that may impact this. So yeah: this is my current speculation.*
I have some ideas about stunts and CO: If what we are seeing right now is them laying down the seeds to move to end stunts, they’ll do it slowly. Those 50 “twins OMG!” articles just came out. Now 1 article about Louis selling his house (bc the other one is just a copy-paste of the same article). If this gets picked up by other tabloids then we can say things are moving forward. Especially because of covid and the music industry being on a standstill, things have to move slower than normal.
As for babygate ending, that could lead to so much publicity for Louis. A scandal like that would be the perfect time for his label to garner some easy free publicity for LT2. Can you imagine how many people would anxiously wait to hear his music and what he has to say about things through his lyrics and in his album. It’d be huge and the perfect storm from a publicity point of view. Like Thank u, next coming out November 3rd, when Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson had broken up in August, with the album then coming out February 8th. So following this timeline, the “scandal” happens, 3 months later you drop a single to massive anticipation and speculation. Maybe you drop another single after that. Then 3 months after the first single dropped, or 6 months after the “scandal” the album comes out. It would be PR GOLD and his label would be dumb not to use it.
So if we are following this theory, we could see them play up the baby daddy stuff up in the media for a while, then start to introduce some doubts, then drop the bomb of *not the father*. Keep in mind this could all go on for months. So we could see LT2 the album in 2022, meaning babygate scandal drops mid-late 2021. This could also work well with covid, leaving enough time so that when the album drops he could do the whole promo/tour cycle if things are back to normal.
In regards to a CO, I don’t personally see it happening any time soon. Not when Louis is still trying to establish his solo career - particularly post Syco. And Harry still owes HS3 and is trying to establish himself as a household name in mainstream industry. So I personally think he will wait a bit longer as well. Things could change if he is in fact the lead in My Policeman, and his team may use that as his CO plan. However, that would affect Louis too, because if Harry comes out, speculation about Louis and their history of Larry Stylinson will soar, especially with Harry having so much media attention. With this being said, it is my personal opinion that they are not coming out any time soon. That is, several years.
And as for Eleanor, I’m not sure. It looks like she’s been quietly distancing herself and she has been at her mom’s for the past few weeks. Also lowkey trying to pass as an influencer and garner brand’s attention - particularly the last few days. However, at the same time, she still posted selfies at the public house this week and keeps posting Clifford. So idk. A bu from her wouldn’t attract that much attention bc she’s a nobody, so idk what their plans are. I could see it happening sooner rather than later, so that they can use a narrative like “after splitting from long-term girlfriend this past December, Louis decided to spend more time with his son. And that’s when he found out he isn’t the father! wow what a shock!”. So again we could see him publicly spending time with F to play out the big *not the father scandal*. And when I say ‘publicly spend time w F’ I don’t mean that he’d necessarily do all those pap walks, bc now F would be like “who tf are you?”, so they may just have a couple pictures here and there, and some statements in print for the tabloids like “a source close to the singer said he has spent the last two weeks with son Freddie”. All bs narrative stuff.
Ok, this is very long now. Again this is all my speculation based on the currently available information. Not written in stone. Things change. My opinion may change as more info becomes available or as things become clearer. I don’t have insider knowledge. I’m just speculating. Also, I may have overlooked something that changes things, so like I said: not written in stone. They could have a completely different plan for everything.
-I had originally posted this as a rb reply to another post, but I think it stands on its own better than as a response. So here you go.
