thinking ab zayn and louis both being game changers and man.. just imagining a music industry full of people like zayn and louis (and even people like chappell roan - who maybe don’t challenge the status quo when it comes to music sonically, but take no shit when it comes to their autonomy and the respect they’re owed. when all of the people that came before her were taught to suck it up and shut up) who don’t hand in their morality or their self respect or their artistry for more money at the fastest pace possible.

people who don’t price gouge fans until those fans become some amorphous blur - growing in quantity but decreasing in familiarity, until they’re nothing more than faceless droves of people lining your pockets. people whose real life growth and maturity translates to their art and the way they discuss their art. people who question decisions being made on their behalf (when they don’t make them themselves) instead of shrugging and nodding until they’re completely indifferent. people that don’t kiss the ass of the most important person in any room for personal gain, that value human connection and understanding to the extent that no money or fame nor all of the famous, powerful “friends” in the world would be a worthy trade for their humanity. they strive to not become out of touch and untouchable.

idk. it’s really nice to imagine a music industry that isn’t an industry. full of people that are unwilling to be apart of the machine.

I don’t think I’ll ever get over Louis Tomlinson’s tiny waist

I truly do not understand why it's so hard for people to catch up to the fact that these men have lived very different lives and have built/shaped it around their own individual experiences. Yes there's a small part of their lives that overlapped and was intensely shared, but that still doesn't mean they share the same memories or individual experiences of those times. They're not all one and the same person.

Why then do people feel a need to equate or somehow "prove" that even in grief their pain/experience is the same? It's ridiculous.

maturing is realizing harry styles was a bad friend, backstabber and sucker for money

[cherryboombt]

This is the most important part from that article and like I said wbk lol

When Harry Styles's black limousine arrived at the church (in typical sensible Harry style, he was the first to get there), onlookers expected to see the other members of One Direction climb out alongside him.

After all, in their heyday they would refer to one another as 'brothers'. Only those five boys could ever comprehend the magnitude of their overnight fame and how it upended their lives entirely.

However, Harry wasn't with his bandmates Niall Horan, Zayn Malik or Louis Tomlinson. Instead he was flanked by actor turned chat show host James Corden and their television producer friend Ben Winston.

The trio are very close. Harry lived in Winston's loft while his house in Hampstead was being renovated in 2013, spending a significant amount of their free time with Corden.

Arriving at Liam's funeral separately was an illustration of just how far apart the bandmates have grown since their reign as the world's most successful boyband, when they presented themselves very much as 'besties'.

After Harry, Niall was the next to arrive with his girlfriend Amelia Woolley, then Zayn and then Louis. Outside the church, only Zayn and Louis were seen sharing a moment together before Zayn left alone shortly afterwards.

'Of course, they all wanted to be there, they shared so much with Liam,' said one insider. 'But that doesn't mean they are best friends any more. They haven't worked together for almost ten years – they have grown apart.

In fact, the last time they all met up, it was because Simon Cowell insisted they did after Louis's mum died, and that was eight years ago.

'But it was just so telling to see Harry arrive with his super-famous friend James rather than the other band members. It kind of told you what you needed to know about how the boys have drifted apart.'

I'm told there is very little contact between Harry and the others, and that it's a similar story for Niall, though he was the last of the band members to see Liam before he died.

Indeed, Liam was in Buenos Aires to see the Irish heart-throb in concert, and afterwards had what I'm told was a 'quick and fleeting' meeting with him.

It is surely agonising to all involved that one of the first times the band had reunited in years was in the hours after Liam died on October 16 – to agree on the most poignant words to pay tribute to him.

In a statement signed 'Louis, Zayn, Niall and Harry', they wrote: 'We're completely devastated by the news of Liam's passing.

'In time, and when everyone is able to, there will be more to say. But for now, we will take some time to grieve and process the loss of our brother, who we loved dearly. The memories we shared with him will be treasured for ever. For now, our thoughts are with his family, his friends, and the fans who loved him alongside us. We will miss him terribly. We love you Liam.'

To the outside world, it appeared little had changed since their days travelling the globe as the biggest boyband since the Beatles.

In fact, those closest to Liam at the end were Louis and Zayn, who have both had their own troubles in recent years.

Louis struggled following the deaths of his mother Johannah Deakin in 2016, and his little sister Felicite – who accidentally overdosed on cocaine, an anxiety drug and painkillers aged just 18 – four years later. Meanwhile, Zayn was reportedly axed by his record label RCA due to his alleged cannabis use in 2021.

Dailymail being the low of the low, posting articles about this at a time like this 😬. But it is kind of ironic that #those people said they weren't seen together as a whole bc they didn't want the attention when as usual that brought even more attention (mainly by fans) and tbh all the media would run with the "1D memebers reunited at their lost brother's funeral" (and they did) whether there where pics of them together or not, just them being there is enough to generate these articles. What's even more telling is that there were only pics of Harry and Niall together, which was already established that they get along well enough, no other pictures of the other members together (not talking about Louis and Zayn bc it's obvious they just met at the entry and ofc they would be civil to one another at a time like this, which also kind of confirms that they didn't even coordinate their arrivals to not be seen together, bc if that was the case why would Zayn and Louis arrive almost at the same time, they had a public fall out them interacting would take away the "attention" no?)

You know when someone is passionate about the things they really love, when they can talk about things so freely, when they can be in deep thoughts because they want their words to be organized, eloquent , and understood, and not taken into something else entirely but just the way they really want it to get taken.

I've been watching the Zach Song interview with Louis for FITF again, it's really something you know.

The way you know how hands-on he is in every little detail of that album, to the songwriting, the melody, to the people he worked with, to what's going to be in the album, and to every little goddamned detail.

One thing too that I'll always take to heart, is the way he radiates the words he's saying when he's talking about us, about the support, that he's not just saying that to gain our support, but because he really is thankful.

I'm always so grateful, that I get to know him as an artist, as a person (if not personally obviously) but someone that I know cares about his fans wholeheartedly and doesn't see me, us, as cash cows. He cares about the quality he produces, he just doesn't go and do whatever he thinks will sell (like gee obvs he should and for sure cares about these things) but still, he gets out of his limb to make sure that things are GOOD QUALITY.

Even God, bare minimum for others, but not a lot of people would go and thank their fans on social media to connect to them and make sure they know that they are seen, and appreciated. To say that we're spoiled, well, it's the truth.

Not to speak about how his songs really are my go to every time I need some lifting up.

To be honest when he released FITF I was like, can this really top WALLS for me? And holy shit, of course he does. And I'm not even surprised.

I just love him, so much.

It'll always be Louis, and it'll be forever him.

me every time i listen to holding on to heartache and louis whispers that little soft, resigned “love” at the end

if you show up there, you’re not a fan. you’re a stalker trying to get content for popularity on social media. you’re no better than the money hungry fucking paparazzi.

liam died at the hands of a cruel, mistrustful, and amoral industry. this same industry that couldn't even leave him alone in death and offer him the last ounce of dignity he very much deserved. liam payne is dead. wasn't this fucking enough? i feel sick.

[cherryboombt]

Maybe IT IS the way he walks
