“Little Richard scared my grandmother in 1957. I was eleven years old, and on my way to her house for dinner with my parents and had just shoplifted a record in the five-and-dime. Mom and dad hadn’t even noticed. Easy pickings – the 45 of “Lucille” on the Specialty label. My favourite tune. I felt happily defiant in the backseat of the car with the sharp edge of the single jabbing my stomach beneath the sweater. Once inside Mama’s, I made a beeline to her out-of-date hi-fi and let it roll. “Lu-CILLE! You won’t do your sister’s will!” came blaring through the house like a rabid pack of dogs. It was as if a Martian had landed. My grandmother stopped in her tracks, face ashen, beyond comprehension. The antiques rattled. My parents looked stunned. In one magical moment, every fear of my white family had been laid bare: an uninvited, screaming, flamboyant black man was in the living room. Even Dr Spock hadn’t warned them about this.”

Happy heavenly birthday to Mr Show Business Personified … the Georgia Peach … the Bronze Liberace … his Royal Highness, the divine Little Richard (né Richard Wayne Penniman, 5 December 1932 - 9 May 2020)! We’ll never see Little Richard’s like again. My favourite song by his will always be “Directly from My Heart” (1959). Oh, and “The Girl Can’t Help It” (1958) of course!
It’s been 3-4 years ever since I’ve drawn any of my transformer ocs. Last night I had the inspiration to redraw one of my ocs, Night Light, and give him a bit of a reboot. He likes drag racing and causing a bit of trouble on earth. He falls into the TFP timeline/universe along with some of my other TF ocs.
What is your theory (or the canon theory for larries) what made H fell in love with Louis? We know evetho right before 1D Louis had gf but he was already read as gay so he probably must’ve known he’s not straight. While H was straight passing from the beginning, do you think he also knew he wasn’t straight and falling in love with Louis made him realize that? Or he had his gay awakening before maybe with that german guy? I’m just wondering what possibly could happen that those two felt for each other basically even before they were put in the band. What also made my head spinning is the fact that they both no way knew what life was head of them and they already moved together like they must felt it so strongly while being so damn young! And not even mentioning H being excited for being the domestic one taking care of his bf. Do you also think how we know Louis is very picky with his food choice, H is the one who knows his taste perfectly and so he never miss when cooking for them?
Hi, anon!
I'm pretty sure Harry knew he was gay, yes. Remember in the RTL interview where he was asked if he looked at Ruud van Nistelrooy (his fav Man U player) score some goals and he replied:
Ruud played for Man U from 2001-2006 so H was between 7 and 12 years old when he "looked" at him (and had gay thoughts about him).
This was also Harry around that age:
I think he's known he is gay (or not really attracted to girls) from a young age, but like Louis he had girlfriends. So i think they had a similar experience discovering who they are and bonded over that.
I think they came from similar backgrounds and socioeconomic status. Not well off, but not poor. They both had divorced mums and stepdads. They had several similar interests in common (rooted for the same football team and were both in bands pre txf). They also seem to have aligning values and beliefs. I think they got along from the go and were also physically attracted to each other. I think H looked up to L and admired his extrovertedness, confidence, leadership, humour, self-expression and his ability to look at the glass as half full. While L admired H's talent, kindness, intelligence, reliability, and his ability to hold his attention and calm him down when needed.
I have no truble understanding why they fell for each other. They are similar in ways that's important and different in ways that balance each other out. They both think the sun shines out of each others ass. I do think they know each other better by now than they know themselves. H absolutely knows L's likes and dislikes, like L knows H's likes and dislikes.
