I had never seen the full video of the last larry hug in 2015...and I advice who haven't not to... I mean the hug starts with liam and niall... And you could see how awkward Louis and harry were they didn't know what to do.... They just looked at each other then niam hugging and harry decides to go away from there ( I mean you can also see their last x-factor performance when niall and liam hugs... How awkward they were)
And massive thank you to niall who goes to hug harry seeing which liam hugs Louis and then they change ie. Lirry and nouis hugs... THAT'S when harry and Louis are like alright we should hug too and they just go for it! And I'm so happy they did! The hig isn't a big deal bit it has a special place in my heart❤
Yes!! However, I think it was a huge deal. If there's anyone who didn't watch the video yet, do it with your sound on, because I think people's reactions when they hug it's very telling. Of course our fandom was very different back then, but on that day everyone was a larrie hahahah... everyone was happy to see them acknowledging each other, touching, hugging. It was massive, and an indication that most fans cared about their relationship, even if was just a friendship or whatever people want to believe. And how the narrative that they hated each other, which they shoved down our throats for years, was damaging. I guess this is one of those situations you could only fully understand what it meant if you lived through it.
And they clearly didn't think it through, it was very spontaneous, and I believe that they wouldn't have done it otherwise. Like they didn't a few months after that on the xfactor finale. Harry was very good at that point to show zero emotions (seriously, watch his face, he's so serious the entire time while hugging the others, he has this mask on..... and god fucking knows how he was feeling inside) but Louis?! Louis is already almost crying by the time he gets to Harry. They were both very overwhelmed by the situation so I can only imagine that this hug was very dramatic for them as well, and I totally understand why they didn't do it again.
