Oh, I guess only the stars would know the truth

[ghost-of-you]

Complete Mess came on while I was in Publix and let me tell you, it is a bit weird to hear a band playing in the store while you’re listening to them on your phone (and also to hear a song that came out over a year ago)

No, I totally feel you, every time I have a random encounter with them in a store I'm like

Because it's always the most random moments? Like it's funny you say complete mess because the 2 most recent situations that happened to me were with cm and it was the weirdest thing ever because I went into the same store in different days with like a week between visits and cm came on while I was there on both times and I was SO confused. Slsp and youngblood are the songs that startle me less, because they are big, I also got easier and teeth a few times, but back 2019 right after teeth came out, I was in a random ice cream shop and more came on. I legit froze. I had no idea how to react to the situation (turns out the person controlling the music just let a youtube mix play and since the playlist had teeth, easier, yb, and some random rock songs I guess the algorithm thought it was a good fit? I was disappointed, I thought that was the day I was gonna find a 5sos fan in the wild lol) but honestly is so so so weird considering they haven't released anything new in over a year and 5sos5 didn't have a big radio hit.

It’s my fourth consecutive year on the 0,1% of 5SOS and I still haven’t been able to go on a show

The Directioner to marketing exec pipeline

For my fellow 2012-2014 Tumblr obsessives. A heartfelt tribute to the band, the years spent together online, and the many wonderful friends and life I made along the way. /

A few weeks ago it was my friend’s birthday. Six years ago, almost to the day, she and I met at a cupcake cafe, and bonded over the years we spent on Tumblr and Twitter as ultimate 1D girlies while we ate our cupcakes. We laughed about how we got follows from celebrities, or replies from the band, and how we spent every waking moment online, obsessed by different YouTubers, bands, and TV shows.

When I think about the string that lead me to that cafe in Edinburgh, it starts with Harry Potter. I was six years old in Orlando, Florida, and my parents took us to see the Philosopher’s Stone. In the rest of the pictures of our holiday, I have gigantic, frizzy hair because I begged my mom to braid it every night so I could look like Hermione. Six years old, but I knew how to immediately decide to devote myself to obsession.

Less than ten years later, I was watching trailers of movies on YouTube. At that point, I already had accounts on Twitter and Tumblr, but I wasn’t really sure what I was supposed to do with them. From the moment I clicked on the “What Makes You Beautiful” Youtube video, everything became second nature.

There was no call to action at the end of that video saying “now pick your favourite and love them forever.” There was no need: we watched it and knew immediately what our job was. I wasn’t even halfway through before I knew exactly which one was mine (and I’ve never wavered). Credit is due to the YouTube algorithm for filling my recommended videos with content from their X Factor days, because I spent the rest of that night watching the videos of them on the stairs, searching them on Tumblr, and falling down the 1D rabbit hole.

It was as easy as breathing! There was no ‘how-to’ guide, the word ‘stan’ didn’t even exist yet. The way the internet let us collectively fawn over anything from a band, to a character in a book, to a random person on YouTube felt like a brave new world. I followed One Direction online alongside girls from the UK, Brazil, the Philippines, everywhere. I started my deep dives into other worlds with Harry Potter, but it was as a One Direction fan that I became embedded in the globalisation of the internet. I went from One Direction, to Zoella, to Sherlock, to Doctor Who, to 5SOS, and eventually I graduated from high school and got a life. By the time I did that though, I knew, fundamentally, how the internet worked.

In 2013, I was there as the Mischacopolypse started. I saw those first few posts trickle in. Later that year, I watched the full 7 hour 1D Day livestream. Year after year, I waited for the new Zoella Vlogmas intro like it was the lighting of the Rockefeller tree. Online content, I learned, was addicting because it was the ultimate way to connect with people. I made friends with girls in Toronto, Vancouver, North Carolina, and England. Not just “internet friends” but real, solid, sweet hearted friendship. I still watch their lives unfold on the internet with pride.

By 18 I had built my own website on Wordpress; I knew how to optimise my blogs for SEO, and set up a tripod with a ring light. I knew how to edit on iMovie and MovieMaker, how to find the latest trends, and even how to search engine optimise on YouTube. And, I leveraged it. I had not only a blog and a YouTube channel, and I tried every new thing. I got my first brand deals, and by 21, I got my first job as a Social Media and Web Coordinator for the uni newspaper. When I graduated, there was only one place to go: the home of all my teenage obsessions, and the reason I was who I was, the UK.

Before moving, I debated between Brighton (home of Zoella) and Edinburgh (home of Harry Potter), and it was really just fate that made me choose the latter. Immediately upon moving, I went back to my roots and got a job as a Harry Potter tour guide. I started creating like you wouldn’t believe. I got invited to events, and even more brand deals.

By this point I knew what sold: the person, the story, the personal connection. People needed to feel like they knew me in order to be invested, so I mined my life for content. Within a year, I got a job as a marketing exec, pointing to my blog and my work as a content creator to get me in. Five years later, I have two degrees in history, but a big girl job in content marketing.

Last weekend that same friend and I were driving home together, listening to One Direction and laughing about how we both ended up in marketing. Both confident there was no reason for it other than our obsession with 1D in our teenage years. At the same time, on different sides of the ocean, we fell in love with One Direction, learned Wordpress, obsessed over Zoella, created Instagram personalities, built our “brands”, and eventually, settled for jobs big girl jobs in marketing.

More than our jobs, we have six years of friendship built (from my side) on the trust that because we both know what 2013 Twitter was like as a One Direction fan, we just get each other. We’ve shared countless jokes about the old days, (remember the pandemonium when the pictures of Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, and baby Lux in Central Park dropped??!!!!), and looking forward to when we’re old and there’s inevitably a reunion tour. This was the norm, until she messaged our groupchat at 11:30pm on her birthday, and I only knew it was serious because she wouldn’t be so dramatic if it wasn’t. A quick Google search confirming the truth, one of the most jarring, official endings to anything so far in my life.

When you hear ‘stans’ say they owe their lives to a band or a celebrity, they don’t always mean it in a parasocial or ‘this song saved me when I had serious mental health problems’ sort of way. I was never that intensely obsessed with One Direction, but I wouldn’t have my career, I wouldn’t have met my friend, my husband, I wouldn’t have my home, or, god forbid, my cat(!) if I hadn’t clicked play on that video fifteen years ago.

It feels like a personal loss not because I have a parasocial relationship with Liam Payne, but because in my life there was a clear world before, with him in it, and now a world after, without. It is as simple as saying: it is hard to come to terms with a world without someone who completely created the world that you live in.

I was looking into the piracy laws from Brazil because I got curious about the technicalities of if and I realized I can actually get a fine for piracy because piracy isn't illegal for personal use, but if you do it with intent to share it is illegal even if you're not making money off of it, so my drive folder with 5sos content is actually considered illegal. Cool.

brazil, 5sos, twinks

It checks out!

Here's my favorite pic of Luke I took when I went to see them in Rio for my birthday last year

send me 3 things you associate with me

[ghost-of-you]

what did they do for mexico shows? i don't remember hearing anything to do with merch 😬

if you decide to get anything someday wfttwtaf album hoodie is really nice and imo worth the price since it's not 'that' expensive :)

I have a more detailed explanation here, (Ana added some thoughts since she is Mexican and was at the concert) but pretty much what happened is that they just converted the price in euro to pesos and called it a day, leaving people with these lovely prices. In order is t-shirt, crop hoodie, regular hoodie and poster. Those prices were insane because capitalism sucks, and sure it's not their fault but god that was crazy to see in the day.

And yeah, I've heard good things about Luke's merch and the prices are reasonable, it's why i was considering there for a second kspskapkaa but thank you, I'll keep that in mind.
