First rule of Tayto Squad: call Tom Tim.
Second rule of Tayto Squad: don't do talk about Tim.
Or Tay. Or Timotay. Or Lulu. Or Larry. Or SoS shenanigans.

According to Tumblr, a Cumbercrazy managed to order a birth certificate!

Dornan has two kids now. Doesn't stop the crazies. Ryan Gosling has two kids by Eva Mendes yet people insist she trapped him and he really wants to be with Rachel McAdams because of that terrible film they did a hundred years ago!

Jamie Forman stood out to me because a fake fanpage popped up on my instagram and I thought really? They couldn't even pretend to be attracted to each other in the film, let alone in real life!

I enjoy TayTim, Larry Stylinson and Paul/Faul McCartney all pretty much on the same level. And I do think there is a very high degree of similarity between Hiddleswift and Larry as media phenomenons in that they are interpretations of relationships that were very much played out in public and for promotional reasons.

What's different is that no-one is willing to die in a ditch, live on LA time or give up their job to try and prove that Paul Mccartney is dead or that Tay and Tim weren't really dating. For some reason Larry Stylinson struck a chord with people who take it enormously seriously - in part I think due to fanfic which means that people's mental landscape is constantly taken up with Styles and Tomlinson banging each other. I know you can get fics on anything and I think a pp confessed to reading Tim fanfic but it's just not on that level. I'd put Robsten in this category too.

I do think though if Tim and Tay had gone on for 6 years rather than 3 months, then there might be more comparison; there'd be many fewer mildly-amused-not-invested-spectators like us, some vehement truthers and something that was widely believed as reasonable at the start (Tim and Tay is a fauxmance; Styles and Tomlinson are in a relationship) becomes niche and laughable, thus making those who believe it ever more defensive and entrenched.

That being said why does anyone believe Jamie Dornan and Dakota Fanning are together? Non capisco.

Apparently in the '70's someone poisoned one of the Bay City Rollers' girlfriends and she was in hospital for 2 days

I suppose there's always been mad fans. Girls used to pass out at Beetles gigs. Now we have the internet it's just expanded.

Yes, the internet allows them to all get together and whip each other up into a frenzy!

Johnson. dakota johnson.

I agree and, bear with me - look at the massive popularity of Strictly and bake off. Both, to me, dull as anything. Again the internet whips everyone into a frenzy. They're not terrible shows, but they're just the generation game of their day. It's the same thing. Mass hysteria given a voice.

Thisismadness Can I add Downton Abbey to the massively popular TV shows I just don't get? I'd rather read Larry fanfic

Adding the Wire, the Sopranos and Breaking Bad.

Do think the batshit crazies confine their wild theorising to the internet or do they go into the staff room at work and announce excitedly that Louis Tomlinson's baby is definitely a hired actor because its ears are a different shape today, and that his previous girlfriend was a set of triplets hired by Syco to cover the fact he was in love with Harry, AND Rob and Kristen are probably trying for their 3rd baby now AND the marriage of Benedict Cumberbatch to Sophie Hunter is totally fake AND so on and on and on? so many conspiracy theories, so little time

I can just imagine the stunned silence and the swift change of subject to how dark it is getting in the evenings now...

Well, I unveiled a not-well-thought-out fake baby narrative at work around Cristiano Ronaldo a while back to much wtafing....

They must do! Even my DH is unaware of my in depth knowledge of celebs culture

I got caught a while back when Dh spotted my google autocompleting to 'Javine Hylton affair'

I have to say I'd love someone like that at work. The entertainment value would be amazing!

ship the incognito tab is your friend! just practice your no DH I'm not having an affair, I've just developed an unhealthy obsession with the love lives of some people from Game of Thrones speech

Please let this be true

So that's why TayTay was wearing the same frock as Mary Berry .

It's all making sense now. She wants to be a cuddly TV cook and win our hearts with strawberry tarts. Maybe she's after a showmance with that ridiculously named Paul Hollywood?

I have a friend who was a "batshit cazy" who told people how Jimmy Saville used to touch up the girls where she had her Saturday and holiday job. For years she said the truth will come out on the wash one day.

And twenty years after she first told people he was touching up young girls, people stopped calling her batshit crazy, and started listening. They realised it was all true and people hadn't listened.

It was decades too late for many of his victims.

So not ALL theories are batshit.

meditation very true. And I'm sure we will find out that some fan theories are true. Although that was an eye witness account from your friend, and something that should have been looked into by the police as a serious allegation. Looking at photos in a newspaper and concocting a fantasy is different, and even if it is true, it's not the job of randoms to 'out'them.

Using Savile's prolonged abuse of vulnerable people over several decades, as an example to add weight to the argument that Larry is real is disingenuous and distasteful.

It makes me even more convinced that the hardcore 'fans' have little grounding in reality.

This is taking the thread way off track probably the idea behind such a grotesque statement so let's go back to talking about the summer of love and who is going to be TayTay's next true love 4 eva.

Don't know her but presume meditation was just commenting on conspiracy theories full stop...namely that some things turn out not to be so incredible in hindsight. I remember when JS died...anyone remotely commenting on him in a negative way were completely slated on DS amongst others. Speaking ill of the dead, libel, he raised so much for charity et cetera. His critics were vindicated but funnily enough all his ardent supporters were silent by then.
So unless med is a Larry conspiracist, I don't think she is wrong in saying there are conspiracy theories that gain credence later. Many sleb twaddlings do not come under this category however
I still feel for Taytay, having heard This is what you came for, in Claire's today.
She deserved a thank you at the VMAs. As to her next beau, has she been out with Chase Crawford yet?!
Maybe she could cheer up Fatboy "Boring Norm" Slim. He could do with cheering up, poor bugger. I like Zoe but she does tend to self-sabotage.

Oh med you don't think Mark Little wood is just trolling you with the rainbow bondage ?!
Anyhoo isn't it "Houis" since Louis banned Larry with anti-troll software?!
Houis = hooey.

ship Taylor on GBBO?! Awesome. She'd be Monica Geller to a tee, like with her squad. Today we are making frosted spar spangled banners. Nothing else. Tomorrow, maybe choc chip muffins but only if you wear these
