#stunt lines

[bciwasinlove]

You know what's alway interesting to me Louis and Harry's love songs either scream larry [IE. Habit, Always You, Two Ghosts] or they have stunt lines alluding to their public girlfriends but those stunt lines weren't the original lines of said song and the OG lines they had to change to fit the public narrative tells a much different larry related story.

Newest example of this I just learned is with AIW. The line "leave America, two kids follow her" which screams Olivia taking her two kids to the UK to follow Harry's tour was originally "leave for America, two kids fall in love" WHICH HELLO ?! That screams 2012 when L&H first came to the US bc 1D was becoming more known in America and is most likely the time frame L&H really started to fall in love.

So in conclusion it always leads back to larry. 💁‍♀️

Hello Allie

I´m from another fandom (Katy Perry), but I am familiar with Harry Styles (some of his songs) and the whole Larry Styles discourse. I am very curious to ask you this since, in my own fandom, I don't have to deal with the stuff you Directioners deal with (luckily ;). So, from the point of view of an outsider (me), it seems very difficult to enjoy Harry's songwriting. I have no idea how you people do that, and I'll explain why.

I know that Harry Styles is the big thing right now, and I know from a few other artists that big artists usually need to use stunt songs to make their albums interesting (like Halsey said, for example).

So, my question to you is actually; how can you (as a harry stan who doesn't believe the womanizer image but does believe he is with Louis) enjoy his songs when there are so many stunt mentions in there? For example:

''Leave America'' in As It Was

Beechwood cafe in Falling

''Wandering hands'' in Falling

The voicemail thing in Cherry

Finally, I have another question. I have read a little about people who believe in Larry Styles, and I wanted to know how you all know (from Harry's lyrics) if it is a stunt song OR if it is about his relationship with Louis? Like, how do you distinguish that? Because I wouldn't be able to know whether (for example) ''wandering hands'' was about his relationship with Louis or a PR girlfriend. So how do you know that?

Thank you in advance, Allie. You seem such a nice person, by the way :)

Oh, I love Katy Perry! This is a fun cross-over 🤗 This is a pretty long answer, sorry:

I think your questions are very pertinent because these are in fact the same kind of questions a lot of people seem to struggle with around here as well. For me, it's quite simple, Harry is a fantastic musician, performer and songwriter. He is so much bigger than his stunts, or his closeting. So, yes, it sucks that stunts need to happen and that he openly uses that on his music sometimes, I wish it was different, but I'm not letting that ruin my experience. Stunt songs are also good songs most of the time, and it's up to you what you will make out of it... because also the wonderful thing about Harry's songs is that he doesn't talk about them, he's not going to give you the meaning or the answer. So you can take from them whatever makes more sense to you and what makes you connect with the songs. So the examples that you used like AIW, Falling... these are not even stunt songs IMO, it's just one line that is just assumed it's linked to stunts. And I have a hundred other different interpretations of these two that make more sense to me. So honestly, most of the time these lines and assumptions become irrelevant to me pretty quickly. The two songs that were truly kind of ruined for me because of stunts are Cherry and Watermelon Sugar, which are the only two songs he openly talked about the meaning of it and all of that. I think a line was crossed with these and that made me enjoy it less. But not really because of the stunt, but more because it turned into something forced and less honest, so that was the bottom line when it comes to my experience of enjoying his music.

Another point - and that's already linked to your second question - is that Harry is also incredibly smart in his songwriting, he loves double meanings and he mastered that since back in 1D days. He will give you the stunt line, or stunt connection, but that doesn't make his songwriting less honest or less autobiographical. So take songs like Carolina and Cinema, these were obviously made with stunts in mind... but they're so obviously about drugs if you truly stop to analyse the song and not what is being said superficially. He does that all the time, his songs are so layered! And once you start cracking the code of his songwriting and his sense of humour, it's kind of funny to see people thinking he wrote a song about OW while in reality he's living his best life talking about gay sex and poppers between the lines.

But it's easy to pick up whether it's a stunt line/song or not, because if it fits a certain narrative being told on tabloids... well, it's because that line is supposed to be there to create all the commotion. Fine Line was the "break up" and "cheating" album, so there are a bunch of lines there that could be interpreted that way, which is not a coincidence. And like I said, people will make interpretations according to what they know and believe, but it's not necessarily what is being told there. Personally, I think that what a lot of people seem to interpret as "break up" in their songs, it's about spending time apart and struggling with their closeting. And that's when all the context and patterns over the years start contributing to these interpretations. Because listen... we've been watching Harry and Louis closely for many years, so you inevitably start to piece things together and you start to make sense of it.

Harry's songs are incredibly layered and I think people end up frustrated when they don't realise that and try to oversimply things and want definitive answers about things. When in reality, there are so many different ways of looking at it, so many different interpretations and people will just believe what makes more sense, because at the end of the day it's all guessing and that's it 🤷‍♀️

I hope that I was able to give the answer you were looking for. Oh! and by the way, their "ship name" is Larry Stylinson, I find it super cute that you kept referring to them as Larry Styles jahsjahskj 😂

jljffjkdjflksdjfkl he's so,,, it's giving 'emo kid pulling you aside at a party to tell you about how pointless life is and how sonic adventures two fucked him up etc'. he's literally two seconds away from hauling you up to that bell tower and going full hellfire on your ass. love to see it love to see it.

#usually i'm not that much of a shipper #and i KNOW how annoying it is when people decide pretty vague dialogue lines are proof that character a is in love with character b #but let me have this one #i just think its so funny that the closest thing this game has to love interests are like #a ninth grader that threw hands with a cat on the first day of school #an emotionally stunted fairy prince who's ready at all times to cause an international disaster if literally anything goes wrong ever #and a seventy year old teenager who spent like a month too long on reddit #alas #what a glorious time to be alive #personal

If ur still doing reqs id love older brother and little siblimg 0003!! I love es and fuuta sm, you can choose what they do but id rather it be post/no milgram!! Tysm

Ahh this was such a sweet request, thank you ✨ I had a lot of fun with it! I kept the details loose -- I don't know how t3 actually shakes out -- but Es still doesn't know much about themselves, so they end up moving in with the Kajiyamas. Enough time has passed for things to become fairly normal between the two.

“What are you doing? It’s giving me the fucking creeps.”

Fuuta made a disgusted face, but Es didn’t seem to notice. They just kept standing in the middle of the kitchen. It was 3am. They were barefoot, wearing one of Fuuta’s old pairs of pajamas. They stared at the countertop intently. They hadn’t even turned on the lights. Fuuta waved his phone flashlight around, trying to see what they were up to. It didn’t look like anything had been touched.

He took a step closer. His nerves were already on edge, coming into the kitchen to steal a late night snack and finding them standing ominously in the darkness. The little bit of light from his phone reflected in their icy gray eyes. 

“Oi, Es…?”

Sleepwalking. That had to be it. Fuuta rolled his eyes, breathing a small sigh at the realization. The sound was somewhere between relief and annoyance. Es was an odd kid as it was. It had been strange getting used to them living in his house, and now he had to deal with freaky stuff like this…

Fuuta approached as quietly as possible, putting his phone down. He reached out his hand. He planned on guiding them back to bed in silence, but he must have been too harsh with his grip. 

Es gasped, the dull look in their eyes turning to shock.

Fuuta immediately leapt backwards, his startled curse turning to frantic apology.

“Y-you were sleepwalking, I was trying not to wake you up but…” he trailed off, seeing Es scan the kitchen and get their bearings. 

“It’s alright. I’m used to waking up in strange places, I suppose.”

Fuuta grimaced. ‘Odd kid’ was an understatement. 

They didn’t seem to notice. Their expression had darkened. “I… I was dreaming. I was back there, and,” their voice shook with sudden emotion. “And we were all…” their breath caught.

“Hey, don’t go and start cryin’ on me.” They didn’t sound like they were going to cry exactly, but he couldn’t be too careful. He wouldn’t know what to do. “You’re not some baby. All of that is over now.” 

Fuuta had meant it as encouragement; he knew how strong Es was. As strange as they may be, they were the toughest person Fuuta had ever met. Realizing that his words may have come out a bit harsh, he tried to speak softer. “Really, it’s all over. You can relax here.”

Es nodded, but stayed silent. The two stood in the dim glow of the flashlight.

Fuuta coughed. “Now, did you want something, or…?” He gestured to the fridge, then made his way around them. He dug around inside for a snack. 

“N-no. Thank you. I’ll be heading back to bed, then. I’m sorry to have frightened you.”

“I wasn’t scared.” Fuuta said quickly. He took out something, sniffed it, and shrugged. “And anyway, it was way less terrifying than when Haruka did it.”

“Haruka sleepwalked?”

“Yeah, and when you wake a normal person up from it, they’re supposed to go into fight or flight. None of us were itching to deal with Haruka’s fight response, you know?” Fuuta took a big bite. He turned to find Es with a miserable look on their face. Through the food, he mumbled, “what?”

“I… I didn’t know that. About Haruka.”

“Okay?”

“There’s so much I didn’t know about all of you.”

“You also didn’t know jack shit about yourself, so we can call it even.” Fuuta took another bite, assuming the conversation was over.

Es wasn’t as satisfied. “I mean it,” they said, their voice still strained. “I thought I knew you, but I’ve learned so much here. There was so much I didn’t know about you. I never knew what your family was actually like, or how well-kept your room is,” they gestured to him, “or that you hardly ever sleep normally.”

Fuuta couldn’t tell if it was a criticism or not. He clicked his tongue. “Well, I never knew that strawberry milk was your favorite, but you don’t see me getting misty-eyed about it.”

Es had opened their mouth to continue, but they blinked in surprise. “How did you know I liked it?”

“Because I like it, and you keep drinking everything in the house.” He rolled his eyes.“I bought twice as much last time I went out, and you still ended up stealing it all. There’s only one little carton left…”

Es’ face slowly softened. Then, a devilish smirk crossed their lips. “You know, I thought I heard that milk is good to drink before you go to sleep…”

“Eh? Oh, hell no! That’s mine.” He went back to the fridge, rummaging around to get it.

“Says who?”

“Says me. I’m older. And I liked it first.”

“That doesn’t make any sense. And I should get it because I’m younger.”

“Now that doesn’t make sense!” Fuuta retrieved the milk. He turned the carton over in his hand. A thought crossed his mind – one he would never speak aloud to anyone, ever. He recalled his sister helping him when he was too small to reach the milk. She used to heat it up for him before bed.

He lazily tossed it across the kitchen. “Not like I care. Here, be grateful.” 

Es scrambled to catch it. Once again, their expression turned emotional. “Fuuta…”

“It’s not a big deal, sheesh!” He picked his phone up from the counter, biting down on the snack he’d grabbed. “Like I said, all that is over. You just gotta be normal now. I know that’s hard for a weirdo like you –”

“Hey!”

“– but just try, okay?” He shoved Es’ shoulder as he walked. “C’mon. Pops doesn’t care when I’m up, anymore. But he’ll give a goody-two-shoes like you a lecture if he hears.”

“I’m not a goody-two-shoes.”

“Psh, you’re the worst I’ve ever seen!”

“There’s nothing wrong with being disciplined.”

“Drink your damn milk.”

“Yeah, yeah.”

I hope you are well.”  |  “The Spire has fallen. The survivors have dispersed into the wilderness for now. If your former master lives, I do not know where he has gone. Cenric was quite aggrieved when you did not return for the summit, but now I am sure he is relieved.”

#rhys aviv #rindan cenric #wayfarer if #wayfarer #my art #i am not immune to 'grumpy guy trips and falls into fatherhood' and ofc i have not gotten enough content abt cenric to say anything at all #but to me this is making me froth and the mouth!!!!! im sorry but if rhys were even a little less stunted #he would have changed his last name but he's just . he feels so weird and odd and he cant help but like #feel an attachment to the surname he already HAS even tho he doesnt rmb where its from #and he wonders if he should change it or not but also is too embarassed to ask cenric LOL #so he doesnt and he like AGONISES over it even tho cenric would have for sure said okay of course #and then the fall happens and rhys doesnt get to and he wants to like. god he wants to know if cenric knew how much he meant to him !!! #and the answer is yes. they know each other so well and cenric is his father and rhys is his son . rhys tells himself 'he must have known' #but also he regrets he never really said it out loud :( now excuse me i have to make up more parental dynamics and go crazy #when i get my hands on more info about cenric and his characterisation i will like start levitating #and hmm idk how to feel about this i was testing a new brush but... #well this brush makes it more obvious how terribly sketchy my lines can get #but i'm alright w how its turned out 🤔

Omg i just realised that FL was released around TS birthday…i can only imagine how painful haylors were..😬

Hi, love. I actually don’t recall them being annoying (although they probably were because when aren’t they?). But Harry and his team were so heavy handed about the album being about Camille breaking his heart that it drowned almost everything else out.

javier keeps expecting lloyd to come up w the plan first but like. sometimes that fails him and if he just says "hey there is no way i'm not fighting this threat what're you gonna do about it" he could just skip the "lloyd runs away, javier calls him a coward, lloyd doesn't see what's wrong w his actions, javier runs off to go fight the thing after giving his last words to lloyd to carry to the count and fam, lloyd reluctantly goes back to help javier" process.

llojavi is just two idiots constantly going:

"i'm going to fight the thing" "don't fight the thing" "i am fighting the thing" "*sigh* fine i'll help you fight the thing, but i'll complain the entire time about it!"

#hey i got an ask #Anonymous #tged #the greatest estate developer #lloyd frontera #i do think it's very funny that javier is like..... 25% of lloyd's moral compass lmao #like lloyd does have a good sense of morality by himself but he's very aware of his limits and has no desire to put his life at risk #but then his bf decides to fight a whole ass monsters by himself so now he needs to save a city. again. #you'd think lloyd is the one with the crazy ideas and zero impulse control because he's constantly doing insane stunts #while javier is the serious one who tries to keep in line because he's so calm and collected #but no! #everything lloyd does is planned out and done after being well thought out #meanwhile javier is the one going to fight a dragon with no plan whatsoever <3 #mmmm i think these tags should've been in the post actually #oh well #javier asrahan

Thinking about Moth in Hisui again, and honestly I feel like I’d get a better grasp at a sort of storyline for it if I did a playthrough as Markoth

my only problem is the player character is just a lil guy and markoth is not-

#happy screms #especially like ‘you look 15. old enough to work’ #line. that is a whole ass man right there- #i’ll probably just hide markoth’s face behind the zorua mask #make it more palatable like ‘yeah sure that’s markoth. stunted expression-‘ #in terms of batiso and eggmu? i willll probably just home them #i am not gonna shiny hunt a male gligar again with NO shiny charm this time- #or a female alpha togepi that was just a stroke of luck sksksksksks #also. god i wish i could write fanfic of a moth in hisui but i’m…low-key embarrassed? it’s easy here on tumblr #but like throwing a fic like that onto ao3 is scary #finished fic for once vs the fear that it’s cringe i will somehow do it wrong FIGHT #anyway gonna start up a moth in hisui playthrough. third switch profile go- (why does pokemon have this. just make multiple saves-)

Thanks for replying! re: female pronouns. You made a good point that I completely forgot about, that the album has to appear as if it is about Olivia (Cinema), and it will be marketed that way. He is clever and very ambiguous with his lyrics. You're right, we can assume 'she' means himself since we know his friends and team often call him by female pronouns, and his identity is important to him so it will show in his lyrics.

Exactly and he plays with that a lot like for example in Keep Driving when he says "Kiss her and don’t tells", he's referring to the subject always as "you" in the song, so if this was about her, it would be "kiss YOU and don't tells", but "she" is someone else, it's not the person he's talking to. And then he puts it next to the "don't tells" line when it's implied something being done in secret. There are so many smart and ambiguous lines like that one. It really upsets me when people seem so stuck in pronouns and stunt lines/songs, because usually what Harry does with these lines is pretty amazing. I totally agree with Louis' choice of not using pronouns at all, it's also good, but Harry has a great way to write these lines whether it's about himself or if he's implying something else. It's nothing like 1D when they used to add "GIRL" at the end of every sentence to make it sound less gay.

My husband made me watch this show called Sword Art Online. In fact, he's the one typing this right now because its too cringey for me to admit myself. Hence the proper grammar, font, and punctuation. Anyways... I have come to realize that I love the show because Kirito is just Hades and Eugeo is just Zeus. He tells me that Alice is going to be Hestia but I don't really know her yet. Sooo y'all should go watch it. 2 week free trial on Crunchyroll!

Anyone seen the new season of sex education? Without spoilers for anything else, how’s the asexual rep? I’ve been a bit iffy about the way they handled asexuality in the past and I see again it’s some random ass character that’s ace?

#it’s less so the way they portrayed asexuality in the past that I have an issue with #and more that they dealt with criticism concerning Otis reading as asexual #and how sex therapist Jean was shaming him for not wanting sex and calling it stunted growth and repression #and remedied that by throwing in some random ace character who only gets 2 lines of dialogue #like I appreciate the scene of her saying sex doesn’t make us whole etc etc #but something about the way it was put in there seemed very forced #and now that instead of building up the existing character they have some random idk #anyone who’s watched it pls lemme know what you feel #ace stuff #aroace tag #sex education #also I read Yasmine Benoit was part of writing this character ?!
