[Reposting so people can actually read it lol]

A little update!

I finished 2010, @tobethemselves is helping me encode 2011 (and @delicateperspective as of earlier well), and I'm currently working on 2012. The early days were so packed, and the timeline references were incredibly thorough back then. It’s taking longer because I'm trying to gather all the photos, gifs, and videos I can find—literally scouring every corner of the internet—to back up each listed moment. I’m also using the Wayback Machine to retrieve old articles that have been deleted (Sugarscape links are GOLD).

Anyway, it's a LOT lol It's gonna take a while, but all good things take time. 🥹

I don’t want to obligate anyone, of course, but some people have reached out as well. So if anyone else wants to help with encoding the timeline (it’s the longest process, especially with the tweets and Instagram posts included, on top of other events—and yes, I’ll still double-check everything and find the files myself because I like to torture myself like that lol), feel free to DM me! ♡

2025 LARRY ANNUAL TIMELINE

Reposting on a separate post for this for archiving purposes.

I finished the 2025 Annual Timeline over the weekend so I can start dumping real-time stuff there as it happens, while also working on the older timelines. I’ve made the page live, so everyone should be able to access it now!

I’ve officially lost my trust in Tümblr, so I’m definitely not posting timelines here unless absolutely necessary. I’ll be backing up all future masterposts on Notion too (lol lesson learned).

Your connected workspace for wiki, docs & projects | Notion

A new tool that blends your everyday work apps into one. It's the all-in-one workspace for you and your team

Extra note: Stunt mentions are included, though I’ve left out some parts that aren’t necessarily super essential to the annual timeline. Those will still appear in the stunt timelines under a separate section on the Larry Guide page.

FULL MASTER DOC UPDATE

[fookinhellcurlyyy]

Advocating 100000% percent for you to make a monthly timeline. Cosmicleeds is great for the new kids but sooooo many severe things were left out for simplicity and coherence and so many sources get lost due to blogs deleting or people privating their videos. I think you should definitely have it on some kind of doc so it will be kept safe in the event you get fed up and delete your blog as well (or it gets terminated again) whatever the case I’m rooting for you! If anyone can do it it’s you!

"If anyone can do it it’s you!" Well, you just gave me a 1000% energy boost there! 😭

I agree! I'm using Google Sheets for this masterdoc + GDrive for backing up the tweets/photos/videos (depending on what my gdrive capacity will allow me because I do in fact pay extra for the 1D/larry archive lol). I think it's the best way for me to maintain it because of Tumblr's post limitations [reblogs are fixed - so you can't revise stuff; post length limits] and like you said, if my blog gets terminated again (@fookinhellcurlyy got reinstated today tho lol).

And I think there might've been some recently debunked stuff that were included in the cosmicleeds vids too (I remember something about tweets) so it's good to have something I can easily update/revise. I'll try to back-up on GDrive the videos with outsourced links as well, but there's like 20GB left of my current plan right now lol I wish iCloud has a way of sharing files without your name in full display 😭

I'll give more updates once I've finished a significant chunk of the masterdoc! 😂 If I start losing hair, you know why.

hey! regarding the masterdoc: actually I just saw that you’re doing it, this is so awesome!! so far I haven’t seen anything about it - have you thought about hard driving it? so sad how easily the info could be disappeared online:(

Hi, love! I have them backed up on my SSD, iCloud, and Google drive (dedicated for this archive)!

Here's a quick view of how the Annual Timeline would look like:

The Links column has the actual links accessible online. The File Back-up has the Google Drive links (screenshots, collection of photos, videos, gifs, PDFs of articles, etc).

Same applies to other online-based content that would need back-ups. Those that are under the various subtopics within the Research Section (aka the "Larry Guide"), including important analyses and masterposts, would be backed up via a dedicated Notion Page!

[fookinhellcurlyyy]

what does the encoding job entail??

Hi, Anon! So basically, aligning the daily events! There are some resources out there that have detailed day-to-day events such as BPL's 2011-2012 timelines, but from there forward, the other timelines are either not as elaborate or not as easily available.

What I need is:

For the basic events and key details to be sorted into the Google sheet I made. You can use multiple resources for this (though I normally provide a list), and use Google to check if they had any activities/news/events that day.

Put some of the resources under the links column (photos, videos, gifs and whatnot that are easily available). Whichever photo/video you can find based on the resources you're using, or if you googled a date online!

I don't ask anyone to do any deep diving for this, nor do the breakdowns I'm doing because I will elaborate the entries later on. What I mean by this is that sometimes, if a video has soooo many larry moments, I break them down per timestamp! But that'd be my job! Also, I search every video or photos related to an event, so that's also gonna be my part—but of course, to do so, I at least have to know the date and the event details.

Example: You can put "3/17/2012 — 1D Walmart Signing in Somerdale, NJ" and maybe a photo reference. I will do the rest in getting all the photos related to that day, as well as some relevant clips!

I think main thing right now is to move forward with the easy part, which is just data encoding the events basically (I just need a rough skeleton of what was happening that day and I will elaborate the rest), and not miss and activity both of 1D and Larry. I more people are aligning the events, I can focus on the deeper research part and backing up the files on GDrive!

(Sorry if this is long and overwhelming to read—but yeah, that's how it works!!)

Hey, I love that you're building a full archive for us, it's SO much work and my thoughts go out to your sleep quality because quantity seems like it could be a stretch. I've wanted to do this so much but I know myself lol, it would end up so abandoned. Anyway, I might not have the spoons to commit to anything but I'll happily spend way too many hours tracking one thing down and I don't think I'm the only one. So I hope you'll let everyone know if you really hit a wall somewhere?

And on a sidenote, I can't believe how fast you got into it, november was literally yesterday. We're all rooting for you, take care.♡

Hi lovely Anon!!

"I've wanted to do this so much but I know myself lol, it would end up so abandoned." FELT LOL. I was scared of that happening too, but I feel like that masterdoc will help a lot of fans in the long run, and it would be my pride to be one of the people preserving them. ♡

Thank you so much for the offer! I'll definitely ask for help if I need it! And I will give progress updates from to time here as well! What really helps right now is that several people are assisting with event encoding and aligning the timeline. I think what makes the process longer for me is that when I enter something, I simultaneously track all related photos, videos, gifs, and articles—then download, upload (back-up), and link them to the Notion site I'm building. But with others encoding things that can just be copy-pasted (like tweets and articles), I can focus on my own section and then go back later to check theirs + do a more extensive search for related files!

I'd say I'm still pretty quick, all things considered, but I'm very thorough, and my brain would NAG me if I skipped anything important (unless I’m exhausted that day lol). When the timeline eventually goes live, if certain files resurface, I’d definitely love to get submissions and add those in too!

I really appreciate the encouragements ;_; ♡ I got back into the fandom in October—not under the best circumstances, but I’m so glad I did anyway. I just wish my younger Larrie self from a decade ago knew all this by heart as much as I do now lol (so much was going on in life at that time—and I'm definitely wiser now hahaha)

cosmicleeds is a resource but i don’t think they should be treated as thee resource like they have been.

many of the new fans don’t venture beyond their videos which isn’t cosmic’s fault however they do have a lot of things that were debunked still included in their videos and i personally messaged them about it with no response. for someone whose been around since 2011 i’m surprised at some of the things they did include and what they didn’t include that’s extremely important.

they also used some questionable references to explain the difference between louis’ denials vs the denials of others which is extremely subjective to begin with as straight is the go to belief which is the systemic issue. we have no idea who’s telling the truth and daniel radcliffe (who has long been rumored to be closeted and also had a similar experience with outrageous fame at a young age, and lauren jauregui who ofc would deny any relation to camilla cabello after camilla was exposed for her racism) were not the best examples.

i think your master doc will be incredibly needed and i’m praying it gets shared across all platforms.

I get that and I agree! I've commented on some of the videos, afaik, about some debunked stuff. I think one of them was about the tweets where Robin (?) supposedly only wished Louis a happy birthday but not the other boys (which is false because he did greet the others if you search their names on his account). I might be mixing up parents and names, but that’s the idea lol

That's probably why I care for TikTok. The reach and engagement there are CRAZY HIGH, but unfortunately, that also means misinformation spreads easily. A lot of people are visual learners, which makes cosmicleed's videos really helpful (at least as a starting point). So I'd rather people begin larrying using those videos AND THEN dive into deeper research rather than relying on TikTok edits and clips with no context. :(

Like you, I lean toward logic and fact-based information, which is why I decided to work on this masterdoc. I love reading analyses and theories, especially those that are well-researched and backed up.

With the masterdoc, I want to lay down events as they unfolded and provide more context to the clipped moments people see in edits. HOPEFULLY, the right audience finds it when it's ready.

In relation to this.
