Don't Know What to Call This Feeling

by larryftnoctrl with art by @louieshalo for @onedirectionbigbang

Louis snorted. "Cheers, love. Wanna know more or are you done with dad bullshit for tonight?" Harry pouted. "There's more? Jesus, I feel like you need a joint or something." "Wouldn't say no honestly," Louis sighed. "But yeah. The baker cancelled the cake order last minute," his voice may have wavered a little at that. He wasn't going to cry. Louis was not the kind of pathetic sod that cried to bartenders. "Oh God," Harry gasped, pure horror in his eyes. "I'm so sorry, Louis, fuck. Being a single parent sounds so much, I have newfound respect for my mother." Louis froze at that. Single parent? He laughed internally as he realized that it was a perfectly valid assumption to make when Louis was clearly the one dealing with all the fires. "Shit, sorry. Was that insensitive? I tend to put my foot in my mouth a lot. I meant it as a compliment, I swear. You're doing so well. Much better than I would be, for sure!" "I'm married," Louis said quietly. "To my daughter's mum. I- I'm not a single parent," he explained, his voice sounding faraway even to himself.

what's the point of larry hiding if straight up no one cares about louis anymore and he is making 0 money out of his career

you're so right. I'm so sad about the nearly sold out msg show that all the people that don't care about him will be at in a week and all the money he won't make :((

clearly you don't concern yourself with facts anon. so I'm not going to waste much energy on you. I don't think it's worth my time explaining closeting to someone who doesn't even understand math

England v Congo match today in Atlanta 👀👀👀 will it be a sunny day??

Can’t. Stop. Laughing.

The headline alone made my day.

What’s really funny is that the article is trying to say how real their relationship is. But the headline (which is all that most people ever read) fully shows it for what it is: FAKE.

#he looks so uncomfortable #I hope his neck is okay lmao

He definitely saw it. Multiple times. But my social anxiety got the best of me, so I was waiting for him to ask for it. But maybe he was waiting for me to throw it. So, I got eye contact, but apparently I need explicit requests. 🤣

sobbing over Jenny's kind words y'all don't get how much shit like that means man I need to go write 100k words more

FIC REC! 🚨

Stop whatever it is you're doing.

You all, and I mean it with my entire being, need to read the fucking masterpiece that is Don't Know What To Call This Feeling by larryftnoctrl ( @the-larry-way ).

It is one of the most touching and beautiful fics I've ever read! And please remember that I've been reading fics since Harry Styles' fetus days. It's written with so much heart and warmth. You will laugh, you will cry like a fucking baby and you will blush like you have never blushed before.

In orher words: it's the perfect read!

Note to author:

Stu,

thank you for a fic that's really been with me for days. Sometimes all you need is a great escape from everything. And your fic was exactly that. It has been the beat fucking company ever. And I feel..., blessed as a reader? And I can tell you right now that this will become one ot my comfort reads in the future. 🤍 I hope you are incredibly proud of what you've done. And I can't wait to dive into the rest of your work. Where the fuck have you been my whole life?

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Love, light and warmth, Jenny

#crying at the doctor's office Jenny wtf #you can't do this to me #I love you so much

I’m not sure if this will be helpful to anyone, but you literally do not have to be a good writer to write and post fan fiction. Yes you will naturally get better at writing and finding your voice the more you do it but you do not have to be or become a professional level writer to enjoy writing and sharing fics. It’s common to hear people praise fic writers by saying their work is better than published books, and while I think this comes from a good place, that’s not the norm or expectation. There is also a sentiment that fic writing is “good practice” for becoming a better writer or doing something else later, but if fic is the only creative writing you ever do that is literally okay. Your technical skill does not mean you cannot have fun and build community with your writing, or that other people cannot love and find meaning in your work.

I often think about how capitalism pervades every aspect of our lives in ways we don't even realize.

Having fun doesn't have to be "productive", at least in the sense of outward validation, status, fame, or money. In fact, I'd argue that creating for the sake of the process, for the sake of enjoyment, for the sake of creating is the real productivity that feeds us and makes life worth living.

There is no kudos market. You can't spend them, you can't exchange them for anything in any market. Fanfiction IS community and much like libraries or clubs or spiritual spaces (that don't require financial investment), it is part of the ever shrinking spaces in life that aren't tainted by the constant pressure to produce, perform, and attribute monetary value to our existence.

Write because you love to write. Publish because you want to share. Comment and kudos because it's a little kiss on the forehead, but also because it's how we build community and connect in ways outside of the Market.

If people are focusing on your "stats", if they're "rating" your writing, if you're feeling pressured to perform or produce in certain ways, please know that this isn't what fan creations and (imo) art in general is for.

"Being published" is only seen as "better" because you get money for it. And money is necessary to live in our current system.

So yeah, kudos won't pay rent and comments don't buy your groceries... But know that many people who have turned art or creation into a profession struggle with enjoying it still.

Because until our very existence is enough of a reason to deserve food and shelter and respect, we'll always have to trade something, whether it's time, effort, emotions, money, for a space in this world.
