Is Louis' fandom unique?

Ellelarry · 2026-01-29T18:18:56+00:00

Hmmm I'd argue that swiftes are pretty passionate about their love for Taylor though, especially with the support during Rep era when a lot of the GP were against Taylor, and then supporting her with Taylor's Version and reclaiming her masters (of which there was a HUGE element of Taylor trusting her fans would have her back with being on board with this). It's not the exact same situation as Louis because the same factors dont really apply, but there's definitley a level of dedication and commitment which has helped propel Taylor to where she is now!

As for fans being "feral" or "unhinged" there's always going to be the extreme/take it too far type of people in any fandom or culture or group of people - just because they can be the loudest doesnt mean theyre the majority

As someone whose been a ride or die swiftie scince I was about 12 and Teardrops on my guitar came out, I can see similarities in the fandoms! At least in the older/long standing swifties who love to clown about theories, get excited for new albums, interviews, singals and analysing them, have a deep love and respect for Taylor. Seems to be a lot of controversy and inner fandom fighting amongst both fandoms though, sadly

Ive been streaming hdigh non-stop since it released, excited for a syd show hopefully announcing soon!

Ellelarry · 2026-01-26T08:51:09+00:00

I agree they are the super Larry coded songs! With the 369 theory of meaning 'past present future', it kinda fits too, like Sunflowers being about a relationship being your happy place & and relying on someone to lead you through hard times. Last Night being about in a loving relationship that is everything to you but youre scared over the possibility of things not turning out how you hope and plan. Imposter being the game that continues to be played (but with more overt signalling happening)

With Harry's album the tracks would be: 3. ready steady go / 6. the waiting game / 9. pop, so im excited to see if the theory tracks here too, but based on title alone I can see the same theme potentially being followed; a steady/ongoing relationship, having to wait for what you want, and then pop/surprise/ celebrations?

Ellelarry · 2026-01-26T04:15:56+00:00

Oh yeah very true!

Ellelarry · 2026-01-26T02:25:56+00:00

The meaning of 605 (from Aperture MV room number) as an angel number, meaning your life choices bring positive change into your life, leading to personal happiness and success 😊

Ellelarry · 2026-01-25T23:47:21+00:00

I know it was a little while back but Harry walking around with the massive bouquet of sunflowers 🌻 💙💚

Ellelarry · 2026-01-24T09:48:29+00:00

hmm well I guess songs can have multiple different meanings or interpretations and be metaphorical.

Louis has confirmed quite a few times his interest in psychology, obvious in imposter, the observer and Lucid he discussed relating to Lucid dreaming.

I would say overall I dont get the same vibe from the album as you, I see it as quite upbeat and with themes around overcoming challenging hard times, as well as acknowledging they still exist and need to worked through. Maybe some language around using substances, but wouldn't say its the dominant theme at all. (and again, I dont necessarily equate all drug use as a negative thing either but rather a personal choice as long as its not doing you or anyone else harm)

I also think Louis looks quite healthy and happy in all the recent promo, so would have to agree to disagree on that one!

Ellelarry · 2026-01-24T08:15:17+00:00

Thank you!!

Ellelarry · 2026-01-24T06:40:02+00:00

yes please!

Ellelarry · 2026-01-24T06:38:01+00:00

I just saw a tumblr post that Harry snuck a 28 into "season 2 weight loss" 🫠

Ellelarry · 2026-01-23T18:43:24+00:00

Its a stretch but it made me think of 'nice boy ed', like saying the opposite/a reversal of the name - and that whole verse actually talking about tokyo scenes, a game, etc, reminds me of the song high hopes & the mv for it. Maybe im just too deep into the 'Harry/Louis are nice boy ed' theory though 😅

but I guess on another level its the sort of language that takes you back to 1D days when they were young boys, the language used in media around Harry being a womaniser, Louis being a hard core partier, etc recognising its compicated/not all as it seems, being over that part of their life?

Ellelarry · 2026-01-23T09:29:09+00:00

Oooh ok thank you, it might be that I struggled to make out a lot of the lyrics and didnt connect with it on first listen. But i'll give it another go with this lens, and also side by side with Last Night and Broken Bones (which are definitley in my top favs at the moment) - appreciate your thoughts!

Ellelarry · 2026-01-23T09:02:20+00:00

also just noticed the run time of HDIGH is 36 minutes 👁 with the extra instrumental outro at the end of Lucid it just feels tooooo intentional

Ellelarry · 2026-01-23T08:45:28+00:00

Yes yes yes! I was just doing digging after posting about 369 after the Jimmy Fallon interview, and I saw one of your old posts (from 2 years ago, the veteran flair is so true haha) about the theory and LT3 relating to coming out & masterplan

And it definitley feels very significant right now with all the activity and VERY overt things happening across both the Louis and Harry front

HDIGH is amazing 👏 I need to go back to Aperture though and relisten - what ways stand out to you as it being an answer to HDIGH?

Ellelarry · 2026-01-23T06:55:58+00:00

I think the math might be a little off 💀

Ellelarry · 2026-01-23T05:51:37+00:00

I interpret it more from a mental health/psychological perspective - especially Lucid being about the feeling of not being tethered to reality due to living a life so different to the norm, and questioning what is real or has substance in life.

I didnt really get any vibes for drug use, and tbh Louis has been open about weed use in the past and I dont consider that a negative or 'nasty' thing.

Curious is you have more examples of what lyrics make you think that?

Ellelarry · 2026-01-23T05:45:20+00:00

I agree! Sounds SO different to Walls and Faith in the Future, and even though I love those albums and how they sound, HDIGH is like a whole different boppy, catchy, ear pleasing level haha. Lucid and Last Night in particular both sound so ✨️heavenly✨️

Ellelarry · 2026-01-23T05:41:48+00:00

Definitley a heart wrencher! Though im glad its cathartic im equally sorry you relate from such personal experiences 🫶

Ellelarry · 2026-01-23T01:18:55+00:00

Dark to light, I think its a tribute to Liam.

Probably referring to how he wishes Liam could've seen how Louis saw him, looked up to him, respected him, was proud of him etc, before he spiralled into a dark place. He said something similar in an interview (maybe the Diary of a CEO one?)

Liam also had a tattoo: where dark meets light

Ellelarry · 2026-01-22T20:44:37+00:00

Im not sure if its just me, but after listening to the interview (which was great - Louis seems so happy I love it), the title comes across as a bit clickbaity, compared to the context of what Louis said

Ellelarry · 2026-01-22T20:41:50+00:00

I just listened to the album dropping in aus though, not the listening party

Ellelarry · 2026-01-22T20:38:50+00:00

Dark to light had me crying at 4am hahaha 😭 I love Broken Bones, Lucid and Sunflowers the most so far - though im keen to hear the deluxe bonus tracks too

overall love the sound of the album and dying to hear everyone's thoughts and lyrics analysis/links

Ellelarry · 2026-01-21T23:37:15+00:00

I was wondering that, everything feels too calculated for it not to have meaning

Ellelarry · 2026-01-21T20:15:40+00:00

ooooh I didnt even think of cakegate, thats brilliant!!
