Alright, some of yall need to hear this:
After they break the news in mainstream media and get people talking, like they have with Holivia, they watch the public’s response. This response has been met with a lot of people calling the stunt for what is it: a stunt. So, the best way to make a stunt more believable is to plant small and otherwise unassuming seeds of doubt that lead people to believe the stunt to be true.
What does that mean? It means making people aware of things that can be perceived as organic, or that happened by chance or accident.
For example:
A fan sighting
A leaked picture
A private moment someone witnessed by “accident”
A recounting from someone trustworthy (includes friends, associates and family)
A sneaky pic
Them at each other’s houses (w/ recognizable accessories/background or being told straight up it’s “H’s house”)
Some quality time with shared friends
An “oopsie didn’t see you in the background” video/IG story
A hack
Shared clothes/accessories
Driving together
A recounting of them doing something unassuming together, along with a grainy picture (for example getting food, shopping, coffee, dinner, park etc)
A ‘the paparazzi caught them!’ headline
Following each other’s finstas
Following friends/family
More IG/social media shenanigans
etc
For it to be the most effective, it’s best for the things above to come from different people and mediums. As in, several different sm accounts, tabloids etc.

you ever see ppl complain about fandom behaviour and you’re like who the hell is acting like this.. this can’t be real and then you scroll twitter for 2 seconds and you understand
“I did call Louis! On the way to and from the shops. [...] I had realized I hadn’t got a mask, so we had a good laugh about that. I don’t know why that was funny, but it apparently was.”
-Liam mentioning the phone call he and Louis had the other day. (17 April 2021)

"they’re trying to make it more “real” because people have been calling bullshit all along and im not sure they expected that." - 100% this! It feels like Elounor in that way where everyone went 'this is obviously fake and Louis is obviously gay' and their response was just 'well what if we keep her around for a decade?' The longevity of a lot of these stunts is honestly all they have going for them in terms of authenticity
they're super lazy and ham handed with stunts these days.
with holivia, the irony is that DWD would have had SO MUCH support if they had just left it alone and let him do his acting without all this circus. I think they shot themselves in the foot on that one.
don't get me wrong, i'm sure tons of people will see it and it will be fine. but i know how hard stans go and i just think a lot of people are very meh about it these days (compared to when it first started filming pre-holivia)
