#IT’S ALWAYS LIAM

[shadowgasp]

didn’t watch stream, last night.

i’m seeing spoilers.

wtf happened to Caleb

and why are people bringing up Vax

[1ddiscourseoftheday]

Liam was a boy, and then a man, who suffered so much trauma and pain. He was bullied as a child and then lived a nightmare that I think none of us can really imagine of having that triggering experience replicated on a literally global public scale. He became a man who inflicted trauma on others. He was an addict who was unable to find a way out of that disease, and now never will, but who was open and vulnerable about his struggles. He was an incredibly talented musician and artist and an absolutely integral part of one of the most important bands of a generation; his voice and songwriting and skill in the studio shaped every aspect of what One Direction became at their best. He loved that band and being a part of that experience with his whole being and would never have stopped celebrating what they meant to us and to the world. He had problems and did bad things; that doesn't mean he was a bad person who didn't deserve to be loved and helped to heal- everyone deserves that- and the fact that that's not something that can ever happen now is devastating. I was very distressed by many of his actions; and I cared deeply about this man I didn't know and wished for better for him than this outcome.

I'm so deeply, deeply SAD tonight. I'm sad for Liam, who will never now have the chance to look back on this hard time and reflect on how far he's come, and for Liam's family, for his parents and his sisters who loved and supported him so much, and for everyone in the 1D band family and circles. And I'm sad for us. It feels like nothing will ever be quite the same, and that's hard and sad and shocking. It's a special kind of doubled grief, to mourn the loss of the person, and also of what he meant to us in this strange world of parasocial fanning, for the real him and also for the version of him that we made up and attached so much meaning to and for the escape that brought us. For him, and also for the easy uncomplicated joy of listening to those beautiful songs from happier times, which might never feel the same again. For the other boys, who we love so much and wish we could shield from suffering and loss and pain. For our fellow fans, who we also worry about the impact of this on. Everything about this is terrible, and I am sending so much love out to all of you. We are not alone, and it's okay to feel complicated emotions and it's okay to mourn and it's okay to care about how it effects you and your life, whatever you're feeling- it's okay. We are here with you. We are 1D family.

The city of Wolverhampton has decided to shift Liam's Memorial to West Park and look at these workers handling every bouquet and offering delicately and respectfully.

They also created a beautiful tribute with all of the offerings fans left at the memorial. I'm all teary. Thank you for showing love and respect to our boy. He must be rejoicing seeing his town do this for him.

watching the sdcc panel and i am just very :) about how sweet their answers to “what are some of the micro moments from the game that have stuck with you the most over the years?” are. taliesin saying what the fuck is up with that which was the first like The Party Gets To Know Each Other moments of c3. travis saying asking his wife if he could kiss her in campaign. marisha going way back to the cannonball competition in campaign one. ashley choosing the beauyasha date but also just the silly goat noise matt made. liam adding onto that to compliment matt roleplaying grass so well and then saying his favourite moment was writing a story for laura and reading it to her as caleb for jester. and then matt saying that was his answer, and that his favourite moments of the game are when they find ways to give gifts to each other whether tangible or not. and sam saying his favourite moments have less to do with the story and is more so when he can just. see his friends across the table from him. when marisha perches and when laura and ashley are (badly) drawing dicks and liam saying he loves when sam sneezes and ashley tells him to stop it and just. yeah. they Are an extremely popular online powerhouse, but i’m so happy that they’re also friends building a world together out of gifts to and love for one another.

like i Am so enamoured with the characters and the world of exandria but the moments when you can feel the love that those people have for each other reach out from behind the stained glass of their performances (to steal a metaphor from brennan lee mulligan) are so extremely special and i am endlessly grateful that they decided to share their silly little home game with the world.

"It's gonna be okay, right?"

'I don't know, but thank you."

"For what?"

"Weeks, months, I dunno, how long have we been together?"

"I don't know, months?"

"Feels like... years."

Eddie, eating chips and queso: you know what they should make?

Steve, minding his business elsewhere: what?

Eddie: taco chips

Steve, already certain he knows what he’s about to say: go on

Eddie: chips and queso would be so much better if they also added salsa and meat and tomatoes

Steve: those are loaded nachos baby

Eddie: no it’s not!

Steve staring in silence waiting for him to catch up: 😐

Eddie: oh hm. Yeah those exist already. Huh

Warsaw Directioners sending Liam ❤️

One more for the endless post-it note mosaic of the Dorym breakthrough:

Dorian says pretty early in his confession, “And if it were up to me, there would be no responsibilities—”

And Orym broke. The palpable relief in his deep sigh there, his posture just folding on itself like the literal weight being lifted off his shoulders. And the ratcheting tension of these two finally speaking about their feelings suddenly deflated in the best way—became not so daunting or so scary, because, chuckle, sigh, “Wouldn’t that be something.” “Wouldn’t it.”

Just the depth of care in speaking to the perennial leader, perennial defender, perennial shield at the front of the party—telling that guy that the fantasy is nothing more than being free to live and love at peace? It’s to stop having to be brave because the world has finally let you live for you?

Fucking off the charts, 100/10, a gift and definition of love

today im offering you theo trying to figure out what his hobbies are and what he likes and at first he resorts back to practical stuff: only reading non-fiction books to further his knowledge, only working out alone to keep his body in shape, only ever full shifting in order to patrol, etc.

and liam telling him that hes allowed to do things for fun. liam telling him that he could try picking up something thats fiction, for once, and theo realizing that he likes sci-fi books (because he liked star wars as a kid.) liam dragging him onto the field and teaching him how to play lacrosse and theo realizing that sports can actually be fun and that its not just a way to train. liam and theo spending the full moon together and full shifting while running through the woods and theo thinking about how it feels like they're pack. realizing that hes not a lone wolf anymore.

theo trying to figure out who he is outside of "the first chimera" and reliving his childhood/teenage years and liam being the one to aid him in that journey.
