Larry Stylinson[]

Larry Stylinson is the ship name for Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles

Th (8)

Larry Stylinson is the most beautiful love in the 24th century.Has Louis ever denied his relationship with Harry? YES! Has Harry done so? YES! Louis and Harry are going strong. Modest! Management are just a bunch of homophobic pricks that don't believe in real love. They believe that letting two men be in love, which is a totally right, will only make sales go down! Well, the Larries, we notice every touch, every look! But truly, they are not boyfriends; they are just very good friends, and even that can be questioned, with both of the boys having expressed their discomfort towards the shipping and how it has made things between them awkward. The problem is that larrie shippers think that they are in a relationship, and they don't want to be considered as that. Because of the larrieshippers, they started to not being as good friends as they were in the past.

Analysis[]

In these pictures, look at the way Louis looks at Harry! And then look at the way Louis is with Eleanor (look at the happy couple, lol! :p) Notice the difference...

And also, we Larries have much more evidence! Open your eyes...

people who think the above are in denial. Majorly, Larry is real and if you cant see it, open your eyes. We promise to support the boys no matter what and we will support them through their relationship. Louis Tomlinson is the only person Harry has ever claimed to be in a relationship with (no he’s not, are you delusional, Harry has denied being with Louis and has had many girlfriends over the years), the proof is massive. Now Modest!Management have bit the dust, Larry will come back better than ever.

Much of the theories involving the ship rely on stereotypes about gay men and the reoccurrence of common symbols, such as the ship and rope. There is also a lot of proof involving in-group signalling, meaning that those "in the know" communicate in discrete ways to "tip-off" Larries about the existence of the relationship. To be a Larrie, one must question everything - oftentimes they believe denial of the relationship is only further proof of Modest! Management trying to cover it up, but if the relationship was real how would we know about it at all? They would have to fully 100% hide it at all times, you wouldn’t even be able to guess they might be more than friends. Moreover, Larry is the reason many people like 1D, so it’s actually increasing their popularity and could be a very carefully staged PR stunt.

Ethical Concerns[]

It should be noted that there are some ethical dilemmas with shipping real people. Both men, and more vocally Louis, have voiced their discomfort about these rumours. The ship has been taking to an extreme that goes so far to deny the existence of Louis' son, and his long term girlfriend has fallen victim to constant harassment on social media. Larries often speculate about each party's sexuality only with disregard to the possibility that these men may be choosing to keep their sexual identities private. To distant themselves from the more extreme conspiracies about the ship, Larries name these extreme shippers "bluegeeners". The is also extensive explicit pornographic writing and drawing of Harry and Louis, which has gone to be featured in HBO's Euphoria, of which Louis expressed great discomfort and disdain for.

  • (This paragraph is an edit and response to the one above): The fandom surrounding this "ship" is less of and ethical concern and more of a sad reflection of the fact that people have nothing better to do. The lore surrounding this is not only a testament to the gross subculture of boy-band mania, but reduces real human lives and emotion to a scene on the screen. I am not a superfan nor have I ever dived into the depths of the 1D internet, however I feel as though this phenonmenon happens too often in all aspects of the consumption of celebrity culture. And to the self proclaimed "larries" out there: please do not find my address this is all in good fun xx

Louis fetus crippled child :)[]

Whilst shipping Larry is fun, there is a small amount of Larries who take this too far, doing so much as to deny Louis being Freddie’s father. Even if he was not the biological father of Freddie (and we have no reason to believe he isn’t), it is completely immoral to deny a eight year old’s father figure is his actually his dad without stone proof. Whether he is or isn’t the boy’s actual father shouldn’t matter as he is a dad to Freddie. (don’t come at me, I’m just saying that even if Larry is real, Louis had a kid with someone, deal with it guys)
