I’m going through my camera roll and I'm not entirely sure if this is what he was reacting to, but there were two girls behind me wearing bunny ears with bright blue and green lights, and the way he turns his head like a puppy and his reaction is so cute like 🤨🫵✌️

Oli giving Louis the rundown of the online fandom reaction to his show in Cincy: oh they went nuts over you pointing at that Harry picture.

Louis the next night in Detroit: POINTS TO EVERYTHING, EVERY REMOTE LARRY REFERENCE, TPWK SHIRTS, FAN SIGNS....JUST GOING NUTS WITH THE FINGER POINTING 1000x

He keeps pointing at it for a really long time, that’s interesting. I have two questions 1) it looks really far away from the stage on this video, could he even read the sign? Is that realistic? and 2) did they put the sign down as soon as it happens? Lol. Seriously, if he did that he’s crazy

I am very skeptical about this, I just don’t feel that he’d do that so casually (it’s a whole Larry is real sign), when we have gotten both of his stunts especially babygate in the last few months. We are still in the middle of the biggest push from Louis’ side in babygate since ever. So I feel like he has zero room for a Larry is real sign acknowledgment right now. If he had acknowledged a blue and green or a tattoo etc, it would have that plausible deniability margin but this? it just doesn’t make sense. He has been made to deny it verbally at the expense of hurting his fans until now and I just can’t believe an acknowledgment would happen this easily. (Not that I need it, I believe they have been together since the beginning and never broke up (had ups and downs, who doesn’t?) and all the stunts are stunts).

I just wish some people didn’t do this. Don’t do this to louis and Harry both. Don’t bring controversial (I understand it shouldn’t be, it should just be treated as a relationship like any other but heteronormativity and homophobia exists) issues to their safe space. Not the concert space at least. It’s their individual space, let them have it. If THEY Larry and bluegreen, then by all means go off all the way to Moon. I’ll go too. Just, can we not dampen the festive mood of concerts?? Now m anxious because m sure m gonna get nasty msgs in the inbox and end up with trending stunts and unnecessary bs. Larry is real and going strong, leave them be. I beg. Let’s be mature about this.

Hey dear. I got a lot of messages like this one and at first I would simply not answer and move on from that topic but then I felt like I should say something because I realised this could be mainly coming from new fans who didn't get to quite fully understand how HL have been communicating over the past decade. This is probably one of those things that you only understand the dynamics when you're living through it and experiencing things in real-time. And we didn't get to experience much in the past two years, so I totally understand why people can be confused. I love new fans' perspectives too, but this is my blog and I felt like giving my opinion more in-depth on this topic. I'm sorry this is going to be long.

First of all, stunts NEVER stopped larry from being extremely obvious and loud. In fact, the times we got the most blatantly obvious "proofs" was when we had some sort of extreme situation with stunts or denials and that was their response to it. They're reactive, it's a pattern, they usually feel the need to communicate when they're feeling like they need to reassure something or when they're probably feeling frustrated. Although I don't particularly think they're doing it for us or to reassure us, it's more like they're doing it for themselves in a way to cope with the situation. (e.g. when Louis got the dagger tattoo after a huge denial, 2014 was probably the year they were being held back a lot and it was one of the loudest years. Harry was basically trying to come out once a week. This is only a very obvious example, there are literally so many situations this happened over the years, guys. Harry and Louis way of communicating is a reaction to something and always has been) So, actually, the fact babygate is being heavily pushed in the last few months is just one more reason to believe Louis really went for it and why he was pretty bold and obvious with it.

There are plenty of plausible deniability and pointing at signs it's not new at all. Although by now it's extremely obvious what happened, people can still believe he didn't unless is proven otherwise, which is not possible. We can't prove he did that. So people can believe whatever they want. Oh my god, they used to point at so many Larry signs while in the band! Harry literally pointed to a girls' arm where larry was written. Louis just pointed at someone's tattoo a few days ago, Harry pointed at a bunch of people wearing masks with Louis' logo in it. There are always a lot of ways to interpret those things, but it happens over and over and over. Those are not coincidences every time, it's happening. Maybe Louis was a little bolder on this one because he kept pointing at it for a really long time and there weren't any other sings around and he happened to point at it on the exact song the sign was referring to. But yeah, this is not new.

And finally, I would just like to address people saying the larry signs are "disrespectful" (fuck I really hate this word) and stuff like that. As I was saying, people always brought Larry signs to 1D concerts, Harry's shows seem like a less safe space for that but people always did it. And Louis' shows already feel like a much safer space, people were actually cheering for the sign in one of the videos, there are a lot of larries attending to the shows. Not sure if we are a majority by now, but a huge part of Louis' fanbase is made of larries. This is the real deal guys, and it's beautiful to see! Larry turned larry into a thing, not us. They keep engaging with it and pointing at it. Louis literally sings Larry call a load of smoke in LMAO. Princess Park is unquestionably the loudest moment of the show. So like... c'mon. They have been shut down their entire lives, we're punching bags. Enough is enough. Now, what I have a problem with, is with things spinning out of control, one thing is for that to happen online and the other thing is to happen IRL. And we can already see that happening. So Louis started flipping people off and now everyone does it all the time, he started to stop the show and give them water so now people are quite literally demanding it to happen multiple times at the show. I really don't want these kinds of larry signs to become a real-life representation of the blue and green hearts on instagram or touch your nose if larry is real. IMO it's okay to be supportive, but not to ask for it you know? It's different, don't be extreme. So I really hope people can understand that difference and not let this become a thingTM because that would be really annoying and even provoke the opposite reaction. Use your brain people, larry is so fucking real.

Ok we had a couple of days to decompress from the tour. Let me ask you, why do you think he was so loud? So when he did the live stream, larries were prepared to not mention Harry at all, we kept the whole stream about him, then he walked out with a giant H shirt. Ok. Then for the tour, I swear larries were gonna keep the whole thing about his music only. Zero Harry mention at all. But then Louis made so much of the tour about Harry. The aggressive pointing at larry things. Like the sing walls if larry is real was undeniable. I've watched every clip available and he 100% pointed at that sign. When the one fan had the eviscerate larries sign, Louis bolted to that side of the stage and sang "larry" to their face, twice!. The bluegreening with the drinks, and the green lighting onstage and around arena, the blue greening with the shirt in Houston then 28 days later in Seattle, the awesome Denver larry reference with the blue and white shirt. I mean come on, singing 7 with the bloody larry lyrics every night. Every single one of those things I mentioned was a choice. Larries didn't force or trick him into doing any of them. He went out on stage and made a conscious decision to do it. Why do you think that is? Did he do it for him and Harry? Since this is their only way of professing their love for eachother publicly. Did he do it for us to reassure us? As far as I'm concerned, he straight up confirmed larry is real and they're together to this day. But is this something that just stays in the larry fandom and doesn't reach solo harries? Solo Louies were mad at us anytime we did anything larry related, but other then the singing of sweet creature outside his bus, I don't think we did anything that crossed any lines. Maybe this is all just a competition with him and Harry to see who can outlarry who lol

Hi anon! So first of all, I think it was established by Louis himself that he would 100% make everything about Larry when he first covered 7 (not only that but he tweeted about it beforehand!!). It was his first solo show and larries were very concerned to make things about him, and the motherfucker went and sang Princess Park and Larry calls a load of smoke in and killed us all. We don’t have the power to make anything about Larry, they’re the ones always doing that.

As for being loud and engaging with several larry related signs and stuff like that on tour, I don’t believe they ever did anything or will ever do with the purpose of reassuring us or giving us *proofs*. They always communicated with us, and I always believed it was because they needed that, as a way to cope with everything they went through, to be heard, to make it more real, to make sure their fight was being acknowledged. I can’t even imagine how it must feel like to be so severely closeted like they are, and to have to hide such a long term relationship like that, but I understand that the feeling of not being seen and therefore what they have not feeling real enough somehow must be devastating. So I always felt like they did that to express themselves. And listen… Louis always did that, I think that while he was in the band he was more severely controlled which gave him less freedom to do it, but he always did. But the reality is that we never had any sort of experience like that with solo Louis before. This is his first solo tour after years of anticipation. Plus his fanbase changed a lot during the pandemic, I don’t know about you guys but I was very surprised to see that most of the crowd on his shows in the US were larries. This is huge! He wouldn’t be interacting with so much larry stuff if there wasn’t so many larries being loud and bringing signs in the first place (which is what happens with Harry), so I think that his attitude towards that is mostly a reaction to what he is seeing in front of him 99% of the time and also the 🏳️‍🌈 safe 🏳️‍🌈 environment that was created.

But I’m not going to lie, he was very loud. And it surprised me a lot of times, he truly didn’t hold back and it was beautiful to see. Of course he will never be actually confirming Larry until they’re out, there’s still a lot of plausible deniability involved in pointing at signs. So I’m not sure if it was the result of a combination of a number of factors like actually having more freedom and safe space so he could express himself like that, OR if maybe we’re talking about something deeper here. I mean, there was a shift with babygate right before his tour, and that’s weird. They just brought the kid to one of the shows and for what…. So I wonder if both things are connected, if there’s a movement behind the scenes we’re not aware of. We’re going to have to wait and see, I guess. But whatever it is, I hope Louis keeps doing his thing and delivering our daily dose of larry on every single show of this tour if that’s what he wants 😂😂
