Oh, it is. Le mariage de Shimmy, bien sûr. Any time people visit my home country, and get so excited to show them all what a wonderful place it is. You are not exempt from this experience. 

In that case, I’ll see you there. Maybe I can have a tour afterwards? Not to push my luck or anything, or have ‘ya get too tired of me.

Probably nothing, I just wanted to sound like what all the cool kids are saying these days.

You mean to tell me you’re not one of the cool kids? Could’ve fooled me.

lottie: i'm going to try everything in my power to make sure that it is :')

It’s all a surprise, even Shawn and Timmy don’t know the half of it. I would, too, if I’d been touring for 2 years, as well as doing plenty of other things in between. Hopefully you’ll just sit down and fecking rest for once. 

A surprise to them?! Wow. I have a feeling this is going to be quite the wedding. Ehhhh, we’ll see. So far, I’m doing just that. We’ll see a couple weeks, months, down the road if I feel the same way.

You see, Harry. This is why I think we’d be the ultimate besties. We get each other and finish each other’s puns. Love this dynamic for us. Your tour was stellar, babe. I loved seeing all the videos people put up, especially the one of you potentially naming someone’s baby? Just look back on all the videos and photos you have from your time on tour. It helps the FOMO, trust me.

The baby names, the gender reveals, I honestly think it’s so special to be part of someone else’s big moment in life just as they were equally a part of mine. Something about Love on Tour that’ll stick with me forever is that it didn’t really just feel like a show, but like a celebration of family, love, kindness, everything. That I’m going to miss, for sure. But luckily, I had a couple great photographers on the road with me and they captured some of the best moments. I’m sure I have outtakes that’ll last another two and a half years.

The best lyrics come out when they’re about how you’re actually feelin’, innit? No wonder your songs are always such huge hits. Aside from the fact you’re a fantastic song writer. No need to say it because I’ll say it for you, H.

Oh, gosh, you’re really buttering me up. I don’t know how I’d judge my own songwriting, to be quite honest, but if other people like it... I’m thrilled, ‘cause that just means I can keep doing it.

No please don’t! I listen to all kinds of things honestly, although the 70′s and 80′s are really my eras. I love when Spotify suggests artists for me! That’s how I discovered Sampa the Great.

70s and 80s, that’s some good taste. As a 90s baby, I guess I wouldn’t call it my era, but quite a bit of the music I love and grew up on blossomed in those years, so, I still have a soft spot. Amazing, isn’t it? Music is a powerful thing.

I didn’t know you had any godchildren, that’s very sweet. Also, that one hundred percent sounds like something I would do. I have a tattoo that says candy is dandy in like…the most boring microsoft office font. That’s probably my weirdest one.

I do! Very honored and blessed. Candy is rather dandy, though, I can’t even argue with that statement. You should get free sweets for life for that one.

gemma: as your friend..I say Im a lot kind alot. But ok maybe Im just in the height of my energy..power?

It’s what makes it the best song ever. Don’t mind my pun. Those types of songs will never get old and I can probably sing them until I’m blue in the face. Then still want to sing it some more. Absolutely not, babe. You are nothing but a truthful boy who would never lie to me. How’s it feel to be done with tour now, though? You going withdrawls yet?

Do you dance all night to ‘em, toooooo? I actually sang that at my last show, funny that you mention it. Very much had a ‘we knew every line, now I can’t remember’ moment. It was a beautiful end to a somehow even more beautiful tour, though. A lot of sitting back and reflecting. Withdrawals... not too much yet, but I know they’re on their way.

Can ya put that down in writin’ so I cna show it to everyone? Gotta remind ‘em all who the genius ‘round here is. Believe me, if anyone deserves that right, it’s also you. The people love ya, mate. 

Absolutely. In writing, I’ll record it, I’ll sing it... I say what I mean, mean what I say. Thank you, it feels a bit cocky to put myself high up there but I’m very, very thankful to feel the love.

I don’t think I’ve ever noticed that! That’s quite niche. I do, I just don’t.. listen every day? I’ve been listening to a lot of Sza and Sampa the Great and Janelle Monae lately.

I’m messing with you, I won’t tattle to the Swifties. Impeccable taste, I always love hearing what other people are listening to. I can’t say I have a top artist at the moment, but... I’m always willing to explore anyone my Spotify reckons I’d like.

Hey, I’m only having the time of my life because your keeping me company is like the exclusive continuation of it all. Personally I’m devastated I won’t be hearing about you giving out feather boas to everyone in my daily news roundup. That’s the best part of it all, having those memories forever of how happy you made so many people, and how I’m sure they made you equally happy in return. Seems like the best kind of give and take there is. Lately my TikTok algorithms are just those stupid AI covers, women’s soccer, and the gay agenda, so I don’t know that there’s anything too dangerous lurking, but I’m all for a snack party. I’ll raid a Trader Joe’s and we’ll go to town.

I meaaaaaan... nobody said anything about me not giving out feather boas on downtime. Although, can’t say it was on my mind, I’m not opposed to to it. Oh, absolutely, I had the best two and a half years of my life. Pure happiness up there, really. It was the best atmosphere to be a part of. AI covers, women’s soccer, and the gay agenda? The big three. I feel like mine changes often, when I’m on it... scrolled through one too many true crime ones and I feel like that’s all I see on my page when I want some downtime before bed. How do I learn the gay agenda?! You can teach me over some top tier snacking. 

Exactly! I’ve got an entire powerpoint presentation ready to go at a moment’s notice for all the haters out there who say that cows don’t make good pets because I definitely beg to differ. Not having nosy and bitchy neighbors is one of the only things that would get me to move away so I can finally have my dream cow. My sister invited me to stay with her in LA and I’m tempted. I try not to judge people too harshly for their musical tastes but listen to screamo music at 2am is not my idea of a good time. I’d have to buy two cows to hopefully drown them out. Mine’s in October, the best month of the year. 

By the way, I’m sure you’ve heard this so many times since the film came out but I just have to compliment you on My Policeman. That film was absolutely beautiful and you did an incredible job. 

You know what they say, two is better than one? Get your dream cows... yes, plural. I fully support it. I wouldn’t even need the powerpoint to be convinced, although I have no doubt it’s well put together. The moos mixed with the screamo would make for an interesting time for your neighbors that just want to sleep at 2am. Did you sister invite you strictly for more cow space? That’s kind of her, I think mine would tell me I’m off my rocker. October will be coming right up before we know it, I’ll be sure to keep it stored in the back of my mind. Oh, thank you! That film was a great story to tell, I’m glad to hear people enjoy it. I really did love it, so it makes me happy to hear it from someone else.

Yes.

Sure, that answers the question. My most meaningful... the ones for my mum, dad, and sister. Got a few, even their initials make the cut. The names of my godchildren are at the very top, for sure. The dumbest might have to go to the word “big” on my big toe. It’s bad, terribly worn, but... it happened!

lottie: maybeeeee. we were aiming for a fall one, but i wouldn't be opposed to a winter wedding, either :)
