Excuse My Laugh, But I Was Having Way To Much Fun With The New Update.

Chicago - 19/12

Hi, Dea! I'm sorry, I'm on mobile and can't link, but can you analyze "TheHug" from the Sheffield show? Specifically Louis' shrug before they hug. Thank you.

Ok, here we go. Link to the slow motion video.

Louis’ shrug was never big deal to me. Why? Because I don’t read it like something negative. I read it like “ok, let’s do it”, like they both expected this to happen and now is the place and time to do this. So it’s not negative or positive gesture, just something neutral “ok, here we are”, “come here then” or “go ahead”.

The hug itself is more interesting to me:

First thing first. Do you see their arms when they are walking in each other’s hug? they are open, ready, familiar… Louis face isn’t tense, he even looks straight to Harry’s face. 

Then the fucking “pull” happens. The pull you ask? Yes the fucking pull. Do you see their grip? Yes? Yes, that very hard, tight grip on each other. The arms with the mics are still and very strongly pressed around each other. Harry’s even jumps by the force. But. Do you see how Harry almost trips at the beginning? How he falls in Louis embrace? Yes, that’s Louis’ doing. His strong force startles Harry and then happens the most painful thing on this planet. He stills. Louis completely stills. The moment he strongly pulls Harry to himself, he stills. Watch it. If you blink, you will miss it. He stills, he is still. He is just there in Harry’s hug. Then Harry starts patting his back, which is very “yeah bro” movement and he starts doing that too. But it’s a tiny bit fake, tiny bit too much force behind that patting, if you know what I mean. The grip and the closeness should tell you how intimate the hug is, yet the pat-pat is camouflaging something, I think they tried to hide the intimacy… (In my opinion.)

Now. Let’s talk about their bodies. The upper parts are very close, heads turned to each other’s necks. Intimacy. 

The end of the hug is a bit awkward, because they get control over themselves. And Harry wants to hide his facial expression with some weird mouth movement. Though his eyes are smiling.

Let’s talk more about their facial expressions. Louis is happy, content, tight lips, smile and closed eyes. I wonder what he is thinking about. And you can see the grip from this angle better too. I think this hug was huge for him, that it meant a lot to him. For him to show to people that yes, he does not hate this boy.

Harry was literally grinning, with his eyes closed too. His face is turned into Louis sweaty neck and shoulder and he doesn’t care. He is happy being just there. The grips on their mics should also tell you how hard they are hugging. Harry’s grip has the gentle aura too, which is almost fascinating to me, because if you look at the video, there is just force. But now. This hug meant a lot to him too. 

Long story short, those are not two enemies hugging, trust me on that. 

Their love is a powerful force.
