#sept 2012

Hi dear,

I think so? It's from Sept 2012, so I'm not sure. And allI could find is that it was a charity thing from when Anne climbed Mount Kilimanjaro:

The donation is real I think. The text in the post about the favorite child is joke someone on tumblr made.

Hi! You’re wondering about my comments on the gifs of Eleanor and Louis at the 2012 VMAs. I watched the video again, and made new (still rather shitty) gifs. I think it’s important to acknowledge that however we/you/I interpret this, it’s now far in the past—more than four and a half years ago. Since I can’t assume what they were thinking then, I ask a bunch of open-ended questions as I observe.

I guess I’m curious to know if they’re all discussing the kiss. What’s Eleanor saying to Harry? (And sure, maybe they were friendly at the time.) Why does Louis whip around toward Harry? Is it to check his reaction? It looks like Harry shakes his head before he turns toward Paul, on his left.

Honestly, what’s Eleanor doing with her hand, after she nudges Louis (below)? Is she signing to someone, off to her right? But would it even be visible to anyone? It’s a strange hand motion, and definitely not a part of her conversation with Louis, who glances back at her, then again [says something] to Harry.

Eleanor totally prompts the kiss. And no, it doesn’t look relaxed or natural. The way Louis leans back—not even turning his body in her direction…

Then a second peck…and Louis, unsmiling, turns completely away from her.

Watching Louis and Harry (and Eleanor) during a commercial break, I see a real contrast in body language:

And below, I wonder if Louis is talking with Harry about the kiss.
