Hello Dreamwidth friends. This is a periodic here are some fannish things I want to write about but don't want to put on Tumblr and/or are too long for Twitter post.
In the promo for his new single, Louis said about the Kardashians:
The new single! Oh no, I cried. I also love that the lyric video is a sped up video of him writing out the lyrics by hand.
In a promo video thing for the new single, Louis says that he just needs a few more songs for the album, which he's been saying for, like, a year at least. He signed a new record deal last month, which I was hoping would push the album along. I really want him to go on tour this year! But I guess if he doesn't,![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
lakeeffectgirl and I can go see the JoBros instead.
Yes, that's right, the Jonas Brothers are back! (This is the most hilarious post about it. I can't stop laughing.) I have been greatly enjoying #JoBrosRenaissance2019. I've been listening to them all week, which means I'm wandering around singing in my head things like, "I've been to the year 3000 / not much has changed / but they lived underwater / and your great-great-granddaughter / is doing fine." The video for "Sucker," their new song, is mildly not safe for work because it includes Joe, partly clothed, in suspension bondage. That's right: the JoBros put out a video with suspension bondage. Lest you worry, it's his partner who has him tied up, because she and Kevin and Joe's wives are all in the video. Lingering question: did they fake the bondage, hire a bondage expert, or did Sophie already know what she was doing?
Also in hilarious JoBros videos, they played Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts on James Corden's show. It's incredibly hilarious, and you get to hear Nick say, "I knew it would be a penis." (Warning for really gross food things.)
Speaking of boyband members with famous partners, I listened to this clip where Nick (Grimshaw - we've moved back to the direction children) and Sinead (the entertainment reporter) talk about Liam dating Naomi Campbell. Sinead reads him a tabloid bit about how an inside source says, "They're having mindblowing sex," and after Nick gets over being scandalized (I love how scandalized he is when talking about sex), he says that it must be someone from Liam's side of things saying that.
I watched this interview yesterday, wherein Louis spends most of the interview looking at Harry instead of at the camera, he calls Harry "Harold," and they have their arms linked at the end. I have a lot of feelings! (But, uh, not tinhatty feelings, because I know they're not really together. I mean, if you've known me for a long time, you probably know I'm not a tinhat, but, uh, I find it very hard to figure out if people who are into this pairing are tinhats or not, so it seems worth clarifying.) Also in that interview, Liam asks Harry, "What's that song that you and Zayn were dancing to?" He also asks that in this interview two years later, where it's phrased as, "What's that song that you and Zayn always dance to?" This means it really is a thing Zayn and Harry did as a thing, not just once. But also: Liam doesn't know the name of the song, which would be more understandable with a different song, but this one is "Jessie's Girl."
I've been thinking that Zayn's career is kind of like Bebe's: when they were tiny babies, they were in projects where they really used their incredible voices in interesting and creative ways, and then when they went solo, they went for a much more mainstream vocal style. I mean, they both still have amazing voices, but I think they're not using them in the same ways they used to.
Directions works actively in progress:
In the promo for his new single, Louis said about the Kardashians:
I am not the biggest fan. I have younger sisters. I get a bit lost in trying to find why people are so drawn to them. The influence and how much time people spend on them is something I am very conscious of as a brother. There’s not much that bugs me but they do my f***ing head in. I feel a deep level of protection for my sisters.Uh, as someone who follows his sisters on Instagram, I find him complaining about the Kardashians kind of ironic. I mean, I guess it's possible that the stuff that makes me raise my eyebrows a bit is specifically Kardashian-influenced, but it seems to me more like his sisters are the influencers. Most of what they all post is in their stories (where most of their Instagram stuff is) falls into three categories:
- Food.
- Generally adorable things about their youngest siblings who they all refer to as "my babies." (Note: the babies recently turned five.)
- Things that make me shake my head and think, "Way to uphold the patriarchy."

Directions works actively in progress:
- Big bang, which I can't tell you more about except to say that I have a rough draft!
- Girl!Louis/Harry, which is mostly an excuse to write about girl!Louis's clothes. Not something I can finish at work because the next thing is a sex scene.
- Tropey omegaverse, which is going to be almost all sex scenes, and therefore also not work safe.
- Red Riding Hood (2011) post-movie fic, which has only a couple of paragraphs and, of course, needs a sex scene next.
- Still Star-Crossed modern AU with hickeys, which really just needs, like, two more sex scenes.
- Fast and Furious Mia story sequel, which is work safe but mostly I want to just think about it instead of writing it.
