Larry Stylinson, the One Direction conspiracy theory that rules the internet, explained

This summer, Courtney and Jorie are planning to get matching tattoos. A pair of 22-year-olds from Texas, the two met a few years ago at a concert, bonded over their love of the same bands, and have been best friends ever since. These days they go to shows together about three times a week.

The tattoos will commemorate their friendship — but they also carry a much deeper meaning, even though at first glance they’re just a pair of cute little birds. In fact, here they are as seen on one incredibly famous chest: that of One Direction band member Harry Styles.

Harry Styles chest revealing two black-and-white sparrow tattoos facing each other. The one on the right is slightly larger than the one on the left.

Sometimes called Haz, Styles is the perpetually tousled hunky one, often inaccurately portrayed as the band’s lead singer mainly by virtue of being deemed the hottest. (One Direction’s other contender for “hottest,” Zayn Malik, famously left the band in 2015 and recently released a record-breaking solo album.) Styles has covered his body with tattoos, but this one — at least to a large subsection of One Direction fans — has special significance.

“Jorie is getting what has been deemed the ‘Harry’ one and I am getting the one deemed ‘Louis,'” Courtney tells Vox, “due to me calling her Tommo and her calling me Haz.”

Courtney is referring to the slight differences in the two birds as they appear below Styles’s collarbone. Look closely at the photo above: The bird on the right is slightly larger than the bird on the left, and if you squint, you’ll notice it also has a straighter, slantier hood marking where its eyebrow might be.

For millions of Directioners, these two little birds are deeply symbolic. According to their theory, the bird on the right, the larger one, represents Styles. The smaller bird on the left represents his fellow band member Louis Tomlinson (sometimes called Tommo). The birds’ size difference is said to represent the size difference between Styles and Tomlinson — and also, doesn’t the bird on the right clearly have Styles’s slanted eyebrows?

To fans like Courtney and Jorie, Styles’s bird tattoo is crucial evidence in favor of one of the internet’s most fascinating and convoluted conspiracy theories: the widespread belief among One Direction fans that Styles and Tomlinson are in love with each other.

The Delhi High Court on Tuesday sought the response of Facebook, Google and Yahoo on a plea to direct them to take down the links of Blue Whale challenge, an Internet-based suicide challenge that has been allegedly linked to several deaths of children worldwide.

A bench of Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice C Hari Shankar also issued notice to the Centre and the Delhi Police asking them to inform about the steps they have taken in this regard.

While issuing notice to the Indian units of the Internet giants, the bench also directed them to file a status report with regard to the steps they have taken in pursuance to Centre’s direction to ban the online challenge called the ‘Blue Whale Challenge’.

The plea, filed by advocate Gurmeet Singh, has sought immediate directions to restrain the Internet firms from uploading any material pertaining to the challenge challenge, citing cases of suicide by children in India and abroad.

The court listed the matter for August 28 by when it has sought the responses from all the authorities.

Meanwhile, Delhi Police counsel Sanjoy Ghose informed the court that the cyber security cell was active in this regard and the Centre has also issued a direction.

On August 15, the Ministry of Electronics and IT had directed the Internet majors – Google, Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Microsoft and Yahoo – to immediately remove the links of the deadly Blue Whale Challenge.

The sudden popularity of the lethal online challenge – Blue Whale Challenge, in which the final task requires the player to commit suicide, had forced the government to issue the directions to the Internet firms to remove the links of the dangerous challenge.

The high court had on August 17 expressed concern over children allegedly committing suicide while playing the challenge.

The Blue Whale Challenge is reportedly a suicide challenge in which the player is given certain tasks to complete over a period of 50 days and the final task leads him or her to commit suicide. The player is also asked to share photos after finishing each challenge.

More than six children across India in the age group of 12-19 years have taken their lives playing this challenge within a span of two weeks, reports have said.

Deaths of teenagers have also been reported from other countries including Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Argentina, Bulgaria, Chile and Italy, the PIL has said.
