Larries - Tumblr Posts
We all know the kpop industry treats it's idols poorly . Yes, that's a broad brush statement, but we could back it up with receipts if pressed. Fans are led to believe the idols live celibate, single lives with no relationships outside of their team or family. In order to keep that trope alive, any idol who tries to have a normal love life, is often fired. Here's proof: https://www.newsweek.com/hyuna-dawn-fans-convinced-couple-confirm-engagement-kpop-1675835
I wonder if BigHit would do the same to one of BTS. A good many fans assume at least some of the members have romances / significant others, but trying to hide that must be quite a strain on the boys. And, imo, being that s.o. would be stressful, knowing that if you are found out, you would have a massive target on your back.
Hiya @towardtheblue!
I'm slow but I do get to things, I promise. And OMG Cube Entertainment was SO DUMB when they fired HyunA in October of 2018. Like, what did they think was gonna happen, she and Dawn would break up and fade into obscurity?
Also they fired HER and not HIM which: fuck those people. Dawn felt the same way and left Cube a month later, after which they just Gangnam-styled right over to P Nation, Psy's label. They're still working, still popular, and now we have this...
OKAY THAT IS DARLING AND
They are apparently engaged, if not one but two matching rings and at least one matching tattoo I've seen are anything to go by. And good for them. In the West we think we're maybe a bit better about letting people live. We've been taught and expect that famous people have relationships which do not involve us (unless you're One Direction, that was super weird and I think STILL IS for some insane Larry shippers, I never skated on that side of the insanity rink so IDK). We seem to be handling Heterosexual Jikook okay now that they've been outed AGAINST THEIR WILL though. So IDK, maybe we don't handle things all that well over here either.
If Zendaya is the Jungkook in that household then Jimin is the real Spider-Man, I'm just saying.
BUT I DIGRESS. You were talking about BTS and BigHit. Who, to our knowledge and based on things they have said, do not have a no-dating clause in their contract. Fact is, we don't know exactly what IS in their contracts, all of which were renewed in 2018 with various lawyers for individuals and the company in attendance. We have ideas based on things the members have said.
No drunken social media or VLives (LOL), no smoking/vaping on camera, no traveling without letting someone know type stuff. I know that some groups have a no PUBLIC dating clause with BigHit. But we don't know for sure what BTS agreed to do or what Bang PD asked for where that's concerned. THIS LINK IS NOT A LEGIT INFORMATION SOURCE. It is badly written speculation, and that is the most we actually have other than the words of the guys or Bang PD themselves. All media about the contract terms reads about like this:
The ONLY reason I posted this is to show that we DO NOT have the terms of their contracts. They have not been made public. We're not even sure whether they extend through 2026 or are over in 2024.
Now K-pop history tells us that the Big Three do fire idols for breach of contract. I'm not even sure BTS IS fireable at this point in their careers. Seriously what is Bang PD gonna do, force them to disband? AW HELL NO that is not happening to the biggest band in the world.
BUT. What we also know is that the fandom simply CANNOT HANDLE IT when any of the members, especially the maknae line, BREATHE in someone's direction.
(Yes yes we still hate Koreaboo but you led me here so here we go)
Edits, edits everywhere
We've seen the hate that Nain got because Jungkook dared to like a dance video and tell her so. We've all been made forcibly aware of the "BTS IS STR8"agenda. We have seen TKKers and the lies, mistranslations and outright bullying that goes on in that segment of the fandom despite what the members themselves have OPENLY SAID. I honestly think it will be after military service or exemption and possibly after disbandment before any BTS member comes out with any romantic relationship, regardless of who it's with. And I don't blame them.
why do you think that ziam has such a bad stigma and being a ziammie? because the amount of hate we get on twitter is insane and especially when it comes from larries too. i get that some ziammies are nice but same with larries... and also what do you think is going to happen with laya and their relationship especially for lp2 and the promo he’s gonna get??? do you think theyd ‘break up’ for publicity? sorry about the long questions,, love you:)
Hi!! Love you too!
I don't know that there's necessarily a stigma around ziam itself, but people are very hostile about the idea that larry isn't the only closeted relationship in the band. I think that their hostility comes from their confidence in larry's reality. Especially no-stunt larries-- I think that they've considered themselves clever because they've seen through the lies and the industry bs, and the idea that they've actually only seen through about 30% of it threatens them because they weren't as clever as they thought. It's understandable, especially if they've been larries for a long time. But I do think that they get really hostile at the idea that they have actually fallen for a lot of the fakery that they thought they were immune to.
I think I hope that laya will end in time for lp2 promo. I honestly think that's the only way it will end, because unlike zigi, laya isn't really doing much right now. They're kind of boring now that Liam has nothing to promote. I hope to see a breakup and a new album together, hopefully this year.
It is NOT OK to ship real people. DON’T COMPARE it to a fictional ship. If shipping real people who are uncomfortable with it makes you happy, find something else that makes you happy. Making stuff up about real people to amuse yourself is NOT OK. Famous people are as real as you, you cannot “believe in” who you want them to be, and annoy everyone about it too and expect not to get backlash, especially when the people in question have spoken out against it. Write the fanfictions about some imaginary characters instead, busy yourself with literature instead of tabloid stories. You cannot just say/do whatever you want and say “TPWK ✌️”.
TREAT HARRY STYLES WITH KINDNESS! ✌️
Dear Larries and Larrie Haters:
I've been in lots of fandoms. But the thing going on with Larries and the rest of the One Direction fandom reminds me a lot of what it's like in the Supernatural fandom with Destiel. It got so toxic there because of all the hate that I had to leave. It didnt feel like a family anymore.
There are shippers that take it too far. That contact the celebs and shit and I will NEVER condone that or hatred towards Eleanor of any kind....but I want to say I dont think its harmful if it stays on Wattpad and Tumblr WHERE IT BELONGS.
Dont ask them questions about it. Dont bombard their posts about it. Keep it in the fandom. I think a lot of the toxicity comes from the fact that there are people who take it too far.
They love each other all of them. And they're all deserving of privacy and respect.
But to the people who are nasty and rude to Larry shippers, you're no better than the people you're condemning. It's fine to defend your favs and ask people to not harass them. That's okay. But dont shame them for believing in something that makes them happy. Just keep it in the fandom where it belongs.
Harry said treat people with kindness. That means EVERYBODY.
I'm tired of seeing the negativity on my dash. We are all here for the same reason. We love the boys.
You are literally being a busybody and gossiping about people’s lives. Except that it can reach MASSES, it is written and will be taken as facts by many people as lots of fans discuss about it like they are facts too. People kill themselves over the lies others spread about them on the Internet. How is it OK to participate in that kind of situation.
People on the INTERNET are not “talking amongst themselves”. They are the ones HARASSING real people. Pretty straight-forward concept. The toxicity does not stem from people pushing back against lies, it stems from people lying and making stuff up in the first place.
You think people speaking up against Larry are the problem instead of the Larries themselves? Incredulous to me. You know what, actually for once making it a thing and drawing attention on the issue might actually be useful if it will decrease the amount of toxicity brewing under the surface all the time due to non-fictional shipping.
And yes, of course I haven’t shipped real people ever in my life in the way you seem to be implying. Everyone can think “Oh, these people would get along well and be cute together”, but the moment you start discussing on the Internet, that is just weird. That kind of thing makes sense to entertain for any significant amount of time only if you intend to introduce those people to each other for real. Think of these people as your friends and acquaintances to see where the limit is, not celebrities you can consume all together.
Tbh, it is weird that you think shipping your favourite celebrities in any form similar to Larry is OK. Also it seems you think gossiping behind their back as long as they don’t see is alright, which to me seems to be considered worse in general, but it is not even really behind their back either because it does get back to them clearly. Again, it is on the INTERNET.
