Thursday, August 29 is a special day because in addition to it being this author's mom's birthday, it also belongs to Mr. Liam James Payne. And Narnia has been waiting to heap some lovin' on Liam, who celebrates 26 years on this earth and we are all the more blessed for it.
And so Narnia would like to bestow some cyber gifts upon Mr. Liam in his honor! First, how about some men's fireman pajamas and maybe they'll help him dream of putting out some fires.
And if he needs some help? Well, just turn on this Bat Signal light. And if he and Zayn are in separate geographical areas, he can at least signal Zayn that he's thinking of him. :-)
And not that he'll need them, but these little turtle erasers could provide some friendly company for those solo song-writing sessions. If by chance, Liam makes a small boo-boo, he's got just what he needs to make the correction. And they're maintenance-free and can be left unattended. ;-)
Hopefully, Liam would like this. Because he loves his music, loves to move...how about a classic vintage-looking, radio bluetooth speaker to enjoy his music in the parlor? This lil' guy is sharp!!
Rich tones, some glossy gold trim, and nice, sleek lines. That's Liam! Sharp and classic all the way.
We wish Liam good health in his new year ahead. We wish him success in his professional ventures. New, fun adventures. Safe travels and a lot of writing inspiration. The world is your oyster, Liam!
And we thank him for another year of his lovely smiles.
May he continue handling hidden trials with the aplomb and dignity that he has exhibited thus far, share his unique and humble sense of humor and remain unspoiled by the riches he has been blessed with. What a special, special young man who brings such joy. God, continue to watch over him and guide him through the good times and the trials until he's able to fully extend his wings and soar.
Happy Birthday, Liam. All our love. Narnia Dispatches.

Right? lol. Definitely has been me too many times to count! Look at that guy at the end after he closes the lid - no biggie! Never saw anything! Well, it's been an interesting week and just a few little observations and discoveries. Let's start off with this one.
• In this commercial from AT&T about boy bands, take a look:
Notice anything? First of all, it puts down boy bands who don't dance. Who was known for not dancing? One Direction, right? Notice anything something else? There are five members of the band, yes. And then, what?
Oh look, a fan in the commercial's audience just happens to have a, what is that? A stuffed bear? Hmmmm...what is all that about, in addition to being a commercial about a Sp*tify package? Interesting, isn't it? Somehow, we don't think the stuffed bear is for promotion of vendor souvenir stands either...
We see you Rainbow Bondage and Sugar Baby Bears!
Then there was this crazy "coincidence" involving Siri Apple's virtual assistant that appeared on August 20th. 1D fans noticed when asking the virtual assistant to respond to a generic question about Harry Styles' debut album, the answer generated was quite intriguing.
Eponymous debut studio album by Harry Styles
Written for Louis Tomlinson.
That's right. Siri is a virtual assistant that is part of Apple Incorporated's operating systems and evidently is a Larrie. Essentially, the
assistant uses voice queries and a natural-language user interface to respond to questions learned from the Internet. Long story short, Antis (those "fans" who despise Larries) were outraged and tried to change the response. When they found out they couldn't they wrote to Apple directly. It appears Antis have no sense of humor.
Shhhhh. Don't tell anyone, but we happen to know a Larry who might have some connection with Mr. Cook.
And another Larry who just might have had a hand in drafting Siri's response:
"What? I just wanted to make sure that Siri didn't give the wrong answer. Mr. Cook will thank me. Am I right?"
• On that smile-inducing note, we interrupt this Sunday Musings with a Classic Jakers "Mr. Grimace" moment. The whole irony of this policing-the-paps moment is that Jake has been photoed and videoed in New York City more than any celeb we have seen since, well - since he was allegedly "hounded" in 2012. But for some reason, he wasn't feeling too friendly on this day.
Well now, looks like Jake's people had that video taken down, isn't that just something? Well, here's another video of miffed Jake and we'll used this one instead.
[I think maybe Jake really thought he was Louis Bloom for a moment with the video cam on his shoulder. Wonder what he did with that picture of the pap's license plate? Framed it maybe? Or, did he text it to his publicist, Mara? Maybe publicist, Alla? After all, they are paid to take care of his annoyances and whisk them away. ;-) This video appears old and was kind of tickling so we thought we would share. 🠈 these comments were regarding the first video, which was taken down from You Tube] I know this author is never going to turn down the opportunity to see Jake's jaw clenched & lips pursed in irritation! • Fast forward to August 15, and Austin posted this throwback pic. Buddy, you are not a d-bag. Just stop it. In fact, we here at Narnia thought it was River Phoenix for a moment. Check it out!
Jake even sported a similar kind of style back in the day. Must have been the cool coif!
Kind of a halo-kind of haircut, although without the angel's wings. LOL! Now it's also amazing what can be discovered when perusing the internet with no particular objective in mind, and thanks to the brief return of our old Instagram friend, one starts noticing other curiosities as well. For instance, it was interesting to learn a few things that some Jake fans already knew, but Narnia never really paid close attention to before. Just a couple of six degree moments that were found to be interesting.
As can be seen below, Jake has a couple of publicists by the names of Mara Buxbaum and Alla Plotkin.
Wheweee, doesn't Jake look great there? If a viewer takes a look at the Instagram caption, jakebullshittingovereverybody provides a rare date stamp, indicating that the chummy photo was taken during SXSW 2016. Isn't that interesting, considering what happened during that momentous Film Festival and how we were able to see Jake and Austin in the same cell phone picture together. In other words, #allhandsondeck to pull that one off. Anyhoo, these two ladies are in the public relations firm by the name of ID, lead by Kelly Bush Novak. Mara Buxbaum is president, having joined ID in 1999 from PMK Public Relations when the LA-based ID wanted to establish an office in NYC. She was Heath Ledger's U.S. publicist (since at least 2005), as well as Robin Williams', and therefore presumably involved with the press releases (and journalistic suppression?) surrounding Heath's death and memorial services. Many quotes from Buxbaum are available from that time. She also currently represents Michelle Williams' public image, and has done so since at least February 2007. Alla Plotkin represents celebrities like Chris Colfer, Sarah Paulson, and...Margot Robbie. Before publicists Mara and Alla, there was Carrie Byalick for Jake's PR. Carrie had joined ID-PR in 1999 as an account executive, having worked at E! and The Howie Mandel Show. In an impressive career move after establishing herself in her own right, Carrie left ID in 2016 and formed her own talent company called "B". Her first client was America Ferrera. She also represents, are you ready? Amy Schumer. Stephen Colbert, Vera Farmiga, and John Krasinki. These are all actors who have appeared in photo ops with Jake, filmed movies with Jake, or, in Krasinki's case, had their name meme robot'ed with Jake's name. The people Jake is seen with, makes more sense now, doesn't it? And so back in October of last year, because of all the Amy Schumer/Chris Fischer nonsense, this little "gold nugget" popped up and was covered in our post, "Six Degrees, Two + Two, They All Connect to Jake and Maggie G". Jake's former publicist, Carrie Byalick is supposed to have "dated" his Martha's Vineyard/cooking friend Chris. Good times.
Isn't it interesting that around the time in 2012 when Jake's career path took its big turn, this commenter had come on Oh My Godot.com (when others were commenting about Byalick) and said:
orly
said...
Agencies,
websites, celebrity blogs are for the most part PR approved. Just Jared,
People, Zap2it, DailyMail, Us Weekly, etc. You ignorance is either faked or you
really are stupid
Have you
read Carrie's twitter lately? Don't think Jake is high on her list of clients
at the moment. Matter of fact I don't think Carrie is even doing publicity for
him anymore. Perhaps someone else at the company is, but it's not Carrie.
So all those
websites you listed...what do they have to do with the average New Yorker who
is spotting, tweeting and taking pics of Jake on the sly?
March 16, 2012 at 12:26 PM
Somewhere during Jake's transition from CAA to WME/IMG/Endeavor in 2012, it looks like this was also when he changed publicists to become coddled by, I mean represented by the turbo-powered Mara Buxbaum.
Just a little 101 today on Jake's "Beware of" protectors and who knows, could be a few of the "Anon's" some of us have tangled words with in the past on OMG. ;-)
• Let's transition to Jared Padalecki on stage with his signature beanie, which basically means it must be Supernatural convention time. Here he is at Van Con today.
In case you've been living on a deserted island with Gilligan, Skipper and the Gang, this is the final season for the show that's really been running on fumes for the past several years.
• A few random parting bits worth mentioning just for fun:
We wonder if Liam is still doing his own ironing? Particularly, given all those clothes left on "his bedroom floor" these days. ;D
"One Direction have to do their own ironing and you don't see Take That doing their own ironing!" - Liam Payne
Although
we've heard in One Direction interviews that Louis used to bring his own washing machine on tour. We'll let you guess who that might have been, but his name begins with an "H".
• By the way, has anyone ever heard actor/director Austin Nichols speaking fluent Spanish? Seen him rollerblading? We at Narnia are on the lookout for proof of these two wild claims discovered via an undisclosed source. ;-)
• Jake will be appearing at the ACE Comic Con in Rosemont IL on October 12, 2019 (yes, 5 days before BT #1 Son's birthday):
The autographs and photo op cash will bring a nice, tidy bit of Friday Night Ice Cream money for Jake and the fam. While we're accustomed already to seeing photo ops from the likes of Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, and Austin Nichols, this will be a whole other kettle of fish with Jakers, who will find he'll need to get all kinds of close and snuggly, hold signs, and be posed like a Gumby doll with lots of strange fans. LOL! His sidecar Tom Holland has been at the D23 Expo this past weekend promoting his movie Onward with Chris Pratt and Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, shoehorning Jake into comments like:
Oh, and this will be a sample of what's to come when Jake appears at the ACE Comic Con, don't say we didn't warn you. This is what they do:
Noticing how many times this particular photo has been "circulated" already tells us this was specifically "strategized". Not to mention the fact this account only had 64 posts prior to this one and in none of them did she ever show an interest in Marvel, Tom Holland or "Jakey". Not to mention the account name and we're going to leave that one at that and give Management a wave. ;-)
Just a brief bit of this 'n that while a prior post is completed. Hope everyone had a lovely weekend as we all look forward to a wondrous return to our places of work,
and prepare for a goodbye to summer (and hello to Labor Day weekend).

When someone's been MIA since Sunday's day of work....
When a robot like the one below, which has over 143,000 Likes and 24,000 Retweets, suffocates that certain someone's twitter search right out of oxygen:
When that certain someone is mostly seen only on the cover of Playbill photos posted on Instagram the past several days...
Not to mention the huge story of Sony vs. Disney hitting on Tuesday, August 20th, and drowning out everything....except for Tom Holland.
And then, when an "old friend" re-emerged from the Instagram dark hole, suddenly inspired to share a plethora of old memories and a few "new/old"ones.... Hello, Old Friend.
Let's just say, the last 24 hours has been wild. None of these actions, have convinced Narnia that "someone" was working this week. Who knows how this "best actor of his generation" is able to summon all his power to hide such an absence? Does he have an understudy going on for him this week? Are this week's shows scheduled on the official calendar, but tickets not available because anyone trying to buy one is met with the message of, "Sold Out?"
What is it about this particular week of August for this certain someone and his special someone? Was it one last gasp before summer officially ends? A family getaway before the madness begins? Some school districts have already started, others will begin next week. For those of you whose little one is starting their first year of all-day classes, we know it can be tough. This is a nice poem found online from a teacher:
It never gets easier! And now, it's time to shape up to ship out, and don't forget to set those alarm clocks. :-)

While
birds are chirping, bees are a-buzzin, and "Official" oracles of
corporate media are wailing far off in the distance, we here at Narnia are
basking in the glow and enjoying the cool soothing breezes of
what it feels like to be winning.
Amid the
monotonous backdrop of what has amusingly become downright silly, delusional media narratives about how Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles are not in a committed relationship together (no
way, no how), and most importantly clearly not gay in anyway, shape, or form, these two never cease
to casually stroll right on by with a good-natured wave of the hand and a knowing smile to go about
their business. Without missing a step, each man making sure to provide glimpses into what is genuinely going on behind the scenes, and what is just a load of rubbish designed to stir up trouble and sow doubt and confusion. In big ways and small, each guy reminding us that the lights of fame will never blind them, or prevent the other from always finding their way home.
Let's begin with just a few of Sony/Syco's most recent, head shaking storytelling efforts. The first "programmed" instance occurred in early summer when the
1D fandom was hit with the outlandish, but obviously
well-timed and intentional controversy, which aired on the HBO series, Euphoria.
The curious episode, broadcasted on June 30th, included a female character by the name of Kat, who we are
told by the narrator is only 11 years old. Her happy life takes a
disruptive turn when she goes on a family vacation to Sandals, Jamaica
for 8 days and because of her dislike of the ocean (we see a jelly fish
attached to her leg to hit home the reason why) she decides to make her
own kind of fun by drinking 72 Virgin Piña
Coladas in one week. Apparently, her bacchanalia bender of the sugary
beverage causes her to rapidly gain 20 pounds, and at only 5'2" the
audience learns that her body weight became quite "noticeable".
Given
the narrator's careful choice of words, one might have been initially fooled into
thinking that the plot development for this episode had been penned by
sensitive, insightful types. Those kind of individuals who are plainly "woke" when
it comes to portraying body image issues and the inner struggles of a
young girl as she looks at herself in the mirror and struggles to fit
into her clothes after returning from the Caribbean Island. First impressions can be deceiving, however, as the viewing audience is quickly relieved of their misunderstanding. Instead of a thoughtful exploration of a youngster's self worth, the
storytelling jarringly pivots (or
should we use the word swerves instead?) to an awkwardly produced RPS
(real person slash) M/M pairing, "starring" Louis Tomlinson and
his One Direction bandmate, Harry Styles. The setting of a teen drama mini-series providing the
perfect exit
ramp for any possibly perceived insult since it's just a TV show after
all.
In
fact, if ever fans needed proof that Sony/Syco is continuing to use
corporate media to denounce and stigmatize the credibility of Larry
Stylinson as an actual relationship post hiatus, (e.g., Happy Together and the theatrical release of After two
more parallel examples)
this recent depiction is
all one needs to be convinced of that notion. Three's the charm, after
all. In other words, if Larry Stylinson was
just a rumor conjured up by crazy fangirls with deranged sexual
fantasies like Sony/Syco has wanted the public to believe since One
Direction skyrocketed to global prominence in 2012,
why doesn't management just bury the chatter? Sony/Syco certainly has
the
connections and the resources to accomplish that goal, along with an
inherent lack of human decency. The simple answer is unavoidable after
experiencing years upon
years of relentless industry counterplots and machinations. That's
right, the romantic relationship between
Louis and Harry is all too real, and "still going strong". For TPTB this is a
most
inconvenient truth that just refuses to die. No matter how hard they try to reshape the narrative.
We see you, Harry:
Harry Styles Live on Tour, Madison Square Garden, June 22, 2018 Performing "Still the One" with Kacey Musgraves
Now, don't get us wrong, industry insiders and powerful people with axes to grind have made some inroads in their spin about delusional fangirls imposing sexualities on two obviously "straight" band members. For the past three years, there has been a highly controlled, rinse, wash, repeat coverage of the subject of Larry
Stylinson in the mass media. In addition to the hardly "spontaneous" on the record (Translation: gun to his head) denials from Louis Tomlinson.
The targeted campaign allowing certain individuals to push Harry and Louis deeper
into the closet knowing that NDAs and contracts prevent them from speaking up or from coming out. And, secondly this periodic denigration (the
discrediting term 'conspiracy' inevitably attached to the moniker) is a
way
of continuing to factionalize (through a war of attrition) the 1D
fandom. The constant ridicule surrounding the very idea that these two
men are together continues to marginalize and ostracize the once
formidable Larrie supporters. The plan is partly homophobic, partly
based on revenge, partly a power play.
So let's return to the content of the Euphoria episodeto
wrap this example up. Overweight and now a social outcast, Kat starts
high school and begins to write fan fiction. She apparently doesn't need
much time to become one of the most prolific fan writers on Tumblr.
And, what's the story that makes her instantaneously famous? "The First
Night," a 7,000 word fic largely credited with starting "the Larry
Stylinson conspiracy theory." Spelling out to viewers, just in case they
were unaware, that any speculation about Louis Tomlinson and Harry
Styles of One Direction secretly "f*cking" one another (Euphoria's
words, not ours) was just made up by some sexually frustrated
prepubescent teenager. Just silly fangirl stuff. And certainly nothing
to do with two young men falling in love.
Excuse us for a moment while we....
Oh,
did we forget to mention that the Larry Stylinson segment concludes with an animated
sex scene (i.e., blow job) between Harry and
Louis, hurling them into the heavens with the guys actually morphing
into twinkling constellations as they curl into one another in an
erotic 69 formation? How could we ever forget that?
Excuse us for a moment while we....
With
this enormous sized golf ball teed up at the ready, less than 24-hours later, here comes the inevitable "Louis Tomlinson" twitter response
(which fans have been subjected to for nearly seven years). Once again,
wrapped up in the feign personal outrage.
The tweet that started it all:
By
the way, I think it's important to note, that somehow neither
Sony/Syco, Rob Stringer, Simon Jones, David Massey, nor Simon Cowell are ever upset at
these media portrayals. That's right Louis' tweet assures
everyone that "he" is the lone industry insider speaking out against
this perceived outrage, amplified, of course, with companion headlines indicating
that One Direction fans are livid as well:
One Direction fans are furious after HBO's 'Euphoria' featured a racy animated scene between Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson
Insider.com
This
nonsense was followed a little over a month later on August 2, 2019 by a
member of the gay community (so why would he lie, right?); QueerEye‘s culture expert Karamo Brown. Frankly,
this set up was expected by Narnia after seeing Harry socialize in
Japan with Queer Eye's cast back in February 2019. Let's get real, it
was only a matter of time before something came of that much publicized
meeting. Fast forward nearly half a year later to right before Harry
launches his Gucci fragrance campaign when the now 1D factionalized
fandom is most engaged, and here comes Brown's great "reveal" of how he
helped instruct Harry Stylesabout the queer dating/ hookup app,
Grindr. Because, of course, everyone knows how clueless "straight" Harry
is about all this gay stuff. You know, the extroverted rainbow flag
waving, "I mess around with him", "Everyone's a bit gay" crooner. Gasp!
You mean men hook up with other men? Whut? And people use mobile apps to locate them? Just incredible! Please tell me more about this newfangled thing called the Internet. /snark
Bobby Berk said: “Harry was absolutely lovely, super sweet guy, super
chill… who else could you ask for as a better karaoke partner?” Karamo Brown teased: “I can tell you this… one of the people that was with Bobby and I there, taught Harry, showed him Grindr. “He had never seen Grindr before, it was his first time. “It was kind of cute that this straight guy was like, there’s an app
where you can just find a date? I thought it was really cute.”
Obviously,
the person who conjured up this piece of fiction forgot that back in
2012 when Sony/Syco was constantly shipping Harry with Nick Grimshaw to
"prove" that he was definitely not with Louis, the publicly gay BBC
Radio 1 host often referred to Harry as one of his best friends, openly
talking about Grindr on the air and how he regularly pranked guests with
the dating app.
Nick Grimshaw, Radio 1’s new breakfast show presenter, apparently is a
fan of Grindr, and is said to have used the gay dating app with his
best friend during filming for his TV shows.
October 19, 2012 Pink News - UK
Excuse us for a moment while we....
With
this amusing context in mind, let's now focus on why we here at Narnia
are currently grinning from ear to ear and writing this post. So much
effort on the part of the entertainment industry's corporate media, with
so little gain.
Backdrop:
Although Sony/Syco published stories back in February 2013, when Harry
was first inked with a new, and very prominent tattoo to try and "plant"
the theory in fan's minds that his new body art was in fact a fern,
Excuse us for a moment while we....
By the way, this is what an actual fern looks like.
** Scroll down for significance of
Leeds Festival for Harry and Louis **
And this is what a fern tattoo looks like
And, since this is what an actual sprig of Laurel Leaves looks like,
One can easily see that this is what Harry has strikingly tattooed on his left and right hips since April 2014, two sprigs, if affixed together, transform into a wreath-like design,
Now,
this alone is not a revelation, given that several fans discovered long
ago why Sony/Syco wants to convince the public that Harry has a fern
tattoo. After all, the meaning of Laurel is a bit embarrassing if you've
been trying to prove for nearly a decade that no there, there
exists when it comes to Louis and Harry being together as a couple:
Laurel: Larry (you know, like in Larry Stylinson) Etymology: lorrer, from Old French laurier, from Latin laurus "laurel tree"
SIMPLE MEANING:
Man from Laurentum\
The English adopted Laurence from the French, originally
derived from the Latin Laurentius essentially meaning "someone from
Laurentum.” Laurentum was an ancient Roman city in the Latium region southwest
of Rome, and some Roman historians considered it as the first capital of the Latins.
As such, Laurentius was a common Roman given name during the classical era, and
the name has persisted for millennia through the Middle Ages and into modern
times in many forms (Laurence, Lawrence, Lars, Lorenz, Lorenzo, etc). The name
of the ancient city of Laurentum may have been derived from the Latin word
“laurus” which means "laurel" (a symbol of wisdom and
accomplishment). Incidentally, Laurence is actually a female name in France
while the English use both spellings of Laurence or Lawrence for boys. Larry
is the English short form of Laurence.
Moreover,
don't forget that the nautical themes found in many of Louis and
Harry's tattoos, also have two laurel leaves integrated in a crown-like formation,
particularly with regard to anchors and ships,
And, here's the Royal Louis ship tattoo Harry got on December 19, 2012:
Even more significantly, here is Harry's anchor tattoo from January 2014, which covered up his June 2012, "I CAN'T CHANGE" skin design. As mentioned in a previous post, the deeper symbolic meaning of an anchor (security, stability, and being grounded), may have been well-timed to coincide with the rumor, four months earlier, that Louis and Harry had tied the knot on September 28, 2013.
And meaningfully, the message of being accepted for who you are, was echoed again in Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' Grammy nominated song "Same Love," which was recorded in February 2012, just four months before Harry unveiled his I CAN'T CHANGE tattoo.
"Gay" is synonymous with the lesser It's the same hate that's caused wars from religion Gender to skin color, the complexion of your pigment The same fight that led people to walk-outs and sit-ins It's human rights for everybody, there is no difference Live on and be yourself.... And I can't change, even if I tried Even if I wanted to...." - SAME LOVE
The placement of the I CAN'T CHANGE tattoo is also telling in that Harry chose to put the message on his left wrist, sentimentally matching the same exact spot that he wore his Leeds Festival 2011 bracelet until it fell apart in April - May 2012 (the music festival Louis and Harry attended for three days, the last week in August 2011). At that festival, Louis and Harry watched the punk band Rise Against perform their groundbreaking song entitled, "Make It Stop," which refers to kids who commit suicide after being bullied for being gay. "Born free, but still they hate. Born me, no I can't change."
The following year, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis performed "Same Love" on August 25, 2013 at the Barclay's Center (MTV Video Music Awards). One Direction was also in attendance, while Harry watched the performance, resting (nuzzling) his head on Louis' shoulder. Two young men once again listening to a band express a similar message to the one at Leeds: Same Love. Quite platonic, don't you think?
After performing “Same Love”, Macklemore firmly pronounced that: “Gay rights are human rights. There is no separation.”
Louis and Harry listening to Macklemore's performance of "Same Love", August 2013 at the VMAs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To wrap up the nautical theme, here's Louis'
compass tattoo, which interestingly enough he got on the same day
(December 19, 2012) and by the same tattoo artist as Harry's ship tattoo, obviously, tying the two together. Which means the needle not facing North carries a deeper meaning; instead, the magnetic pull of Louis' compass to Harry's ship is
directed toward "Home,"
Detail of Louis' compass - HOME
To finish this discussion up, let's return to the topic of laurel leaves and Larry. This one act, part of the reason for the upbeat feeling here at Narnia Dispatches. What did Mr. Styles do this past week for anyone with eyes to see? Well, Mr. Fashonista wore shorts that were not predictably from the Gucci
collection, but rather, curiously enough, from the Fred Perry...
Laurelwreath collection
August 6, 2019, Philadephia - Merion Cricket Club
[Notice the Laurel wreath emblem in the right hand corner (We see you, Larry.)
And let's not forget Harry's #2 Gucci photo shoot and his lovely gold crown fashioned in the shape of a laurel (Larry) wreath from September 18, 2018
Not to be outdone by the husband, Louis wore a Burberry bomber jacket for the Two of Us Spotify video, with a laurel (Larry) wreath design on March 12, 2019,
As well as a Burberry splice embroidered hoodie with a laurel (Larry) wreath design for the same Spotify video, #Two of Us
And last, but not least Louis' Spotify 28 Playlist cannot be overlooked when a song is included entitled, wait for it...#5 LaurelWreath - a song about vulnerability and courage and the need for connection....
In
other words, no matter how many denials Sony/Syco tries to set forth in
the media, or how much ridicule is heaped upon Larries through strategic
campaigns designed to activate bullying attacks from other parts of the
fandom, it truly does seem like the two main subjects of those Larry
Stylinson rumors, and that would be Louis and Harry themselves, really,
really really enjoy associating themselves with that connection as often
as possible. Larry, Larry, and more Larry. Somehow, we here at Narnia
suspect that Sony/Syco are not laughing so hard right now.
BREAKING NEWS: Another Laurel Leaf sighting in Madrid!
Louis smashed it at his debut solo headliner performance in Madrid, Spain on September 14, 2019 (CCME). He knew all eyes would be on him, to listen to the songs, decipher the meaning and inspiration of lyrics (we see you Harry) and, of course, to see what he was wearing. As usual, Louis did not disappoint. Drum roll please:
