do you by any chance have that post you talked about by doll lady that was gaining traction when she was a gossip blogger in 2012? it would be interesting to see where she started, in comparison to where she ended up
After a few days of posting about Liam and his rumored breakup, Amy (then posting as Gossip Candy) posted about Harry and got 20 whole notes (link to archived day, since she has deleted her blog posts). The last post from that day is an ask thanking her for "writing that article" about Harry:
You can see here that she isn't saying she's a conspiracy theorist, just a 1D fan, though she DOES allude to fans she will later call "hets" there at the end.
She posts at least a dozen times a day through early October, not matching the note count she got with that first Harry post (even though she posts about 1D's management banning questions, and a woman linked to Harry by the Sun winning a libel lawsuit).
October 6th had a run of 1D posts, but not a lot of notes.
In November, she brings larry into an "article" about Harry addressing "rumors," which earns her a fawning ask. She's also reblogging from larrie blogs.
On November 14th, she's posting about Harry's sparrow tattoos:
At this time, as I scroll the archived days, her "articles" are outweighed by larry reblogs, though she does get nearly 200 notes on an "article" about Harry being spotted in two places at once. Who cares, right? But this paragraph indicates why so many notes:
And then later that day ...
And on November 17th, she's publishing ask after ask praising her for her larry articles and being a new supporter.
worked out so well for her!!
