#liam payne role play

[lookingforharry]

Hi there!

I’m on the search for some long term roleplay partners who love longer replies and are fairly active! Also doubles would be what I’m looking for!

I tend to stick to One Direction or 5SOS plots but if you had any other ideas then I’d be open! I’m also not super picky on what the plots are since there isn’t anything that bothers me!

When I say I’m down for anything, I truly mean it! I will say that I live in EST and I have a full time job during the week but it doesn’t impact my availability much!

If you’re interested then please like or message! :)

No but seriously imagine it

The aftermath of discourse emanating from the Teraleak is keeping Pokémon fans very busy making memes and discussing lore. Everyone who enjoys first-person psychological horror adventure games is enjoying the first-person psychological horror adventure game that is Mouthwashing. And, in a huge moment for emos, the Phandom, and generally, people who were conscious in the 00s, My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy played together for the first time in 17 years, and Dan and Phil re-enacted a Tumblr post from 2015 about them kissing on stage during an MCR x FOB performance.

Joni's interview

https://politiko.al/english/politikoff/ish-truproja-i-liam-payne-flet-pas-s-se-kengetarit-ishte-viktim-i517144

Joni Proni, who has served as the personal bodyguard of Liam Payne, the famous former member of the One Direction group, has expressed his emotions after the tragic news of the singer's death. In an interview for the show "Jetë Shqiptare" on RTSH, Proni expressed his shock and deep pain for the loss of Liam, describing him as a wonderful and loving man.

According to Proni, Liam was a closed person and had struggled with alcohol problems for years. He pointed out that he had often criticized her [him] for this habit and had even tried to help her [him] by taking the alcohol from her [his] hand.

"I was very shocked, although I did not expect good news from Liam. I've been worried and upset about it lately. I spent 14 years with him, and I know that Liam has not been very well. I don't blame him too much, but those around him, because they all said 'YES' to everything, even when he said 'I want to die'. I loved him as if he were my son; he was a wonderful boy", said Proni.

He blamed the music industry for the negative influence on Liam, describing it as an environment full of degenerates. Proni believes that the pressures and challenges of this industry played a significant role in the difficulties Liam experienced and the tragedy that followed.

"The music industry has the most degenerate people in the world. Everything negative you see in the world is related to music. The way you are treated and servile to artists is strange. I am sorry to say that Liam was a victim of this industry. If I was with him, he would be alive today," said Proni.

The tragic event has shocked the music world and fans of Liam Payne, as his former bodyguard mourns a person he considered an important part of his life for more than a decade.

Thank you!!

To Liam,

It's so strange that I just couldn't bring myself to create anything to honour the role you've played in my life. It's like I cannot allow myself to say goodbye to you, trying to push back the inevitability of it. This permanent goodbye that I don't want to speak into existence.

"Let's leave it unsaid, just one more second

If you don't say it, then it ain't true yet"

When I first 'met' you, I was newly thirteen and I saw your music video 'One Thing' on TV. I had excitedly texted my best friend at the time, gushing about five cute guys on TV that were singing, "Get out, get out, get out of my bed" which amused my friend to no extent. It was the start of a character defining moment in my life, and I didn't even know it then.

It was hard to keep up with you guys, our access to the internet was limited. Watching YouTube videos back then was a task. I would go to all lengths to do so anyway, because it felt like I had five friends who I could joke around with. That's the strangest thing. I so desperately wanted to be friends with you guys. Not date. Just friendship. Looking back at that time, I almost feel sorry for how lonely I was to depend on five guys who didn't know of my existence for friendship, but then I don't. I don't know what kind of person I would have become if I had been oblivious of your existence. Now, I have had so many friends that I have met/ talked to through you. I am not in touch with all of them, but I felt like a part of a community.

You'll never feel like you're alone

I'll make this feel like home.

You taught me to dream. For the longest time, I was adamant I would form a band myself, and be famous and meet you guys. I was so sure of it! I could never afford to buy albums, or the movies, the books even though I desperately wished to. Then, for my eighteenth birthday, I finally got my hands on your book and the This Is Us movie

It was my dream, to meet you guys one day, all of you, and have you sign this book. I would tell you how much you inspired me, helped this little girl in a little town dream of going places. Gave her hope she could make it out of there one day.

I am so grateful for that.

It's hard to think you were together as a band for only five years because it sure felt like ages back then. There was always so much... Drama! I still remember the day Zayn left the band. The best friend who had first heard my atrocious interpretation of your lyrics, she was the one who broke the news to me. My chapattis and okra curry seemed extra salty that day. My family was surprised. What is she crying for? I would tell them and they would try to keep from laughing. It felt like the world had ended, but everything carried on as usual.

Life went on, I begrudgingly decided against pursuing a career in music. It's so funny, isn't it? You guys were living the dream and consequently taught me how to dream. And now, you've left us because of it and I'm still here because I didn't pursue it (not saying I would have become as famous as you, or famous at all). I got into medical school. By that time, you were already three years deep into your 'hiatus'. I would hear about you, now and then. Maybe listen to a single or two. Loved Strip That Down. Loved your interviews. Loved For You. Was waiting for an album.

I kind of lost touch with the 1D fandom and you. In the blink of an eye, 2020 was here. I got back to the fandom right in time for the 1D 10 years anniversary. I was sure it wouldn't have any effect on me. I was grown up now. Then I bawled my eyes out to Fireproof and I realised I was still a sucker, and I would always be.

Nobody knows you, baby, the way I do

It's been so long, it's been so long

We must be fireproof

Then I realised. It wasn't the same anymore. When I left, people were excited about everyone's solo careers. Five times the fun, right? Everything had... Shifted. There were camps and groups and, it just wasn't actually the same. I was horrified. Blogs dedicated to hate certain members, the word 'flopped' being used incessantly when it came to them. And bearing the brunt of the most of it was, you.

I don't want to go back and rehash it all, it's too painful, but you know what? I would have that time back in an instant if it meant you were still out there. Alive. When the possibility of this happening was so damn preposterous, not even the craziest fanfiction could have a plot line like this.

I don't want to say I felt sorry for you, because that makes you seem small. You had talked about your struggles, but you had also gotten better. I heard Heart Meet Break and I heard Weekend. They sound so ominous right now.

Heart meet break, lips meet drink

Rock meets bottom, to the bottom I sink.

Fuck.

I come alive on the weekend

I might die on the weekend

Another line for my demons.

All the while, facing vitriol that was frankly alarming. There was nothing you could say or do that wasn't criticised or scrutinized. I felt helpless but I was determined, once again that the tide would turn. That people would see you for the kind soul that you really are.

Let me tell you, LP1 was damn good! I hope you're proud of that album, wherever you are, because you smashed it! And your First Time EP? Still mad that Slow wasn't on your main album, like who made that decision? I am sorry people didn't pay more attention to your music, because it is amazing! Your voice, of course. That note in Bedroom Floor-you aren't real, you know?

And your videos during the lockdown? And your LP shows? You kept us entertained and happy. We loved watching you do the thing you love the most.

Oh, Liam. Then I gradually drifted apart again. I wasn't there when you came out saying you had been sober. I wasn't aware it had gotten worse. I don't know why, but this October, I listened to your music for the first time in a long while. It's so strange. Just a few days later-

I still can't believe it, Liam. I still can't believe you have left us. I can't believe that this is the end, this is how you had to go. With the world still against you. You didn't get your chance at redemption, you didn't get your chance to prove to everyone how amazing you were! You had so much love left to give. Everyone talked about how you checked up on them frequently. I am sorry there was no one to do that for you. I am sorry for the way you were treated. I am sorry you didn't get the help you needed, I am sorry that we can't enjoy more of your songs, your voice, your paintings and most of all, that laugh where your eyes all crinkle up, and your body physically rocks with it, and for a moment you become the embodiment of sunshine.

You were just a boy, who had one working kidney and the other that miraculously started working. You were just a boy that had a fear of spoons and loved dinosaurs. You were just a boy who apparently couldn't read but wrote so many songs for One Direction that we hold close to our heart. You were just a boy who warned people against snake habitats, and dropped tubs of pasta on your floor. You were just a boy who is loved by so many, whose loss will weigh heavy on our hearts for the rest of our lives.

I'll never forget you. And I promise, I will make all my dreams come true. Maybe not the singing part, but the rest. Hope you're happy, Leeyum. I hope they're treating you better than we did.

How can I forget someone

Who gave me so much to remember?

With love, always

Rini

𓂃⋆.˚

i don’t usually do death readings, but this one feels special because one direction has always held a significant place in my heart. i’ve also been interested in conspiracy readings, so i thought i’d give it a try and see what comes thru. check out my liam's astro chart and his death analysis!

i truly hope this reading brings closure to those who need it. if you enjoyed it or have any questions, please feel free to let me know in the ask box!

it seems that liam payne was alone when this happened. he may have been isolated, keeping to himself while enjoying his success. he might have felt comfortable but still distanced from others. i get really detached energy from him. i’m unsure whether his girlfriend was with him the whole time, but i believe he was reflecting on his career and how far he’d come before his passing. despite his success, i feel he was lonely, unable to rely on others, which caused him to build walls around himself. liam likely struggled with asking for help when it was truly needed, and he may have neglected certain aspects of his life as a result. it seems that what happened was impulsive, a mistake that he didn’t fully understand the consequences of. it appears to have been a rash decision, not premeditated. i don’t think liam intended for it to end like this; rather, he may not have realized the dangers around him, leading to this tragic event. he was likely battling internal and external conflicts—possibly even arguing with someone before it happened. there was tension and conflict, both within himself and with others, which escalated leading to his final decision. it all unfolded so quickly that there was no time for him to react. i wonder if liam received some kind of message that triggered this event. something shifted suddenly, and it was out of his control. 

liam craved recognition and validation, but i feel he didn’t get the approval he desired. despite his efforts to maintain a successful and positive image, the pressure was overwhelming. this need for external validation might have contributed to his struggles. i believe liam may have been under the influence of substances at the time. while i’m not sure if he had addictions, he was likely struggling with unhealthy habits or toxic relationships. he may have been self-sabotaging and caught in a destructive mindset, feeling trapped in a cycle of poor choices and unhealthy relationships. there’s a sense of control—either from others or from his own demons—that made him feel suffocated. liam was frustrated, assessing his life and feeling dissatisfied with how slow things were progressing. he wondered if all his hard work was worth it, feeling unrewarded and underappreciated. he pushed himself too hard but gave up too soon when things didn’t pay off. it seems he received some information that shifted everything for him, playing a role in what happened. he may have learned something life-altering that caused his decision. he was obsessed with perfecting his craft and overworked himself, neglecting other parts of his life to the point of being consumed by it. he took on too much, refusing to slow down or ask for help. liam hoped for peace and healing, perhaps even looking for a way out. at some point, he became emotionally vulnerable, hoping things would change. but despite his faith, it wasn’t enough to protect him. ultimately, liam was carrying far too many burdens. he felt weighed down by responsibilities, exhausted emotionally, physically, and mentally. he was struggling to manage it all on his own, and it became too much. he felt he had no one to turn to, burdened by others’ expectations and trying to live up to an image that wasn’t truly him. ultimately, it seems he was just too mentally drained, and this was the only way out he saw.

RIP Liam Payne (1993-2024) 🕊️

Waking up to the day about the passing of Liam Payne, one of the members of my first favourite boyband One Direction, feels like a nightmare that turned out to be a reality. But at the same time, I try to console myself that Liam is too good for this sick world and now he’s finally in a better place.

Other than playing the biggest role in 1D and doing lots of good stuff that brings a smile to everyone’s faces, he’s also played huge parts as the smartest member in The Adventurous Adventures of One Direction that lead to saving many lives. (Ep.1: Having the great knowledge of the Unix system, resulting in unlocking the doors to free the pussycats. Ep.2: Using his spoonses to stop MegaFan from sending people flying off the ship. The Christmas Series: Using the Twitter birds to help him and Harry get to save top of Santa’s workshop, with Harry coming down to save Louis from the flaming furnace.)

Even kind souls like him make mistakes, which of course I won’t justify. But at the end of the day, he’s human, he has feelings, just like all of us. No one has to be perfect to be a good person because we’re all human, and we have to accept the fact that nobody’s lives are perfect.

31, taken too soon, but sad reality is that death can happen at any age…

Sending prayers and condolences to his family, friends, loved ones, One Direction and fans ❤️‍🩹🙏. This day has truly been a devastating day for us…

Lastly for Liam, rest in peace, may God bless you and wipe every teardrop away from your eyes 🕊️❤️

[fangirlingnuisance]

"Goodbyes are bittersweet. But it's not the end, I'll see your face again."

- Walking In The Wind, One Direction

I never thought I would be 25 and writing about someone from One Direction's passing. The way I imagined it in my head, I'd be in a home with my teenage kids and they'd be the ones to tell me about it. Never in my wildest dreams would I think I'd get the news from my brother who just came home from his graveyard shift, waking me up at 8 in the morning, delivering the news that One Direction will never be complete again.

I admit, this has been a rollercoaster of emotions. I'm not even sure if it had completely sunken in. Having someone you grew up loving and who was vital to your formative years -- grow up to be someone you dislike, his passing has come with a wave of confusing emotions. It's been some time since I supported Liam the way I liked the career of the other boys. When his ex-fiancée Maya shared her traumatic experiences with him, I felt myself growing farther from him. This then made me question why in the wake of his death, my heart was broken into pieces.

That thought was answered through my tears and constant scrolling through social media in search of comfort and reassurance that I wasn't the only one feeling this way. Then I came across this tweet:

It all became so clear to me. I am grieving for the teenager who stayed up late, cried, laughed, cheered, screamed, and did everything because of One Direction. I grieve for that little girl in me who clung to them when I was going through some of the darkest days of my life. I am grieving the boy I grew up watching, the one I first loved in 1D. I was grieving the version of him I remember, not the version I barely knew. Call it parasocial, it is. But it's awfully difficult to detach when he was part of something that played such a big role in the way I am, the friends I have today, and the journey I had to go through to get where I am.

The ache I feel when people I used to constantly watch/listen to resurface and talk about him. It was like I was transported back to a time when everything felt easier in life but this one -- this is one of the most tragic ways to relive that feeling. Photos of him and the boys I lived through, lyrics of them plastered on different social media pages, the voice I used to hear when I wanted something comforting; they all have different meanings now.

I was silently rooting for him to get the proper help. I wanted him to realize his mistakes, learn from them, make amends, reap what he sewed, and go get better. He just needed a little more time.

But it's too late now. Wow, I can't even believe that this is real. Heavy is the weight of the news that came today and I still can't seem to really wrap my head around it. I find myself staring at the wall or at my phone screen, trying to make sense of it all. I don't even know why I decided to write this and post it here. I think maybe because this place was one of those places I frequented during those times, or maybe I wanted somewhere where I felt I could freely express this. I don't know. I just know I wanted to pay tribute to the boy I once knew, the boy I grew up with.

I am heartbroken, Liam. You will be missed, especially by those who loved you. I pray for your family, your parents, and your son. May they find light in such a dark time. 🤍🪽

Liam James Payne 1993-2024

[tinky-dinky]

I don't go to 1D (I was cursed with an ailment called good taste), but what's the motivation for falsely accusing someone? Like I know it's attention, but when you falsely, or even truly accuse someone famous enough you primarily get negative attention. That's honestly part of why I haven't made a public statement or legal action against my own abusers (they aren't famous, but they're well liked enough in my work circles that it would be a reputational blow), and even the (ex-)friends I've talked to about it think I'm lying because of cultural differences in how our systems work.

I guess I also don't think being an abuser is an inherent part of a person's character. It's more something you do. And with a lot of bad things you do, it can come about from being in a super screwy headspace. Maybe it's naive of me, but I think it could have even been reconciled, if the effort was put in somewhere. I definitely think what happened to Liam should not have ended like it did, and seeing people celebrate it is a little gruesome and punitive.

I'm no expert, let me just say that first.

But I know there's multiple reasons for making false accusations.

The one I'm most familiar with is spite. My mother spent half my childhood lying to me about my dad, claiming he did all sorts of horrible stuff. He didn't; my mother is an emotionally abusive narcissist with a victim complex. She kicked him out (for the third time) but instead of begging her to let him come back like he did the previous two times, he chose to move on. He met a lovely woman and they've been together for 20 years. My mother is still bitter and spiteful over it and still tells anyone who will listen that my dad was awful to her.

Money and attention are big motivators. I disagree with you in that accusers, especially pretty white female accusers, get a lot of positive attention as well as negative attention. Amber Heard got six years of sympathy and support from both the media and social media, and despite being thoroughly exposed as a lying abuser, still gets a fair amount of sympathy and support now.

She also managed to get a lot of money for her false claims. She attempted to extort Johnny with a list of demands lest she go public, but he didn't give her anything. So she went public. In their divorce, she got 7 million dollars. She also got 1 million dollars in the lawsuit. She was also paid hundreds of thousands to talk about her 'abuse'.

Maya Henry got a shit ton of sympathy and support. Hell, many people's first reaction to hearing that Liam had died was to feel bad for her. Or at least that's what they said on twitter.

Maya has a book out that she initially claimed was entirely fictional but then changed her mind and said it was based on her and Liam's relationship. It's where the majority of her claims come from. I very much doubt she'd sold many copies before. How many copies do you think she sold once it had the attention of millions of 1D/Liam fans?

False accusations can also be used to cover up the accuser's own abusive behaviour, or at least make it harder for the actual victim to be believed. This was another motivator for Amber Heard; she knew full well there was ample evidence of her abuse of Johnny. So she lied and said he was the abusive one and anything she did to him was self defence. Her shitty fans still parrot that online to this day.

There are rumours that this might be the case for Maya, that she was the one who was abusive to Liam, and/or that she was the one who introduced him to drugs, but that's just gossip and hearsay, so who knows.

Unfortunately, it's not looking likely that we'll ever know the actual truth of the Maya Henry/Liam Payne situation. Liam can't tell his side of the story; I only hope he discussed it with his family and/or friends and they might come forward about it. I would if it was my deceased son/brother/friend being talked about like that, especially as her claims likely played a role in his death.

[rememberingliampayne]

Now that it's been two weeks, I think enough time has passed for me to say what's been on my mind about the whole situation.

Zayn Malik has absolutely no right to act like he's "devastated" or "heartbroken" over the loss of Liam Payne. They were not good friends, and it was mostly because of Zayn's behaviour.

He has no right to act like he lost a brother when for years they hardly spoke. Now he feels sorry? I don't buy it, sounds like he's just saying that to look better in the media. He doesn't actually care.

Same way he didn't care when Liam was alive and the same way he doesn't care about the remaining 3 that are still alive.

I roll my eyes whenever that post comes back on my timeline of a source close to him saying "they aren't leaving him alone at this time." "He's in bits over this loss"

I considered not replying to this in case it was a troll post but then thought of some of the replies zayn and liams family might be getting because of the situation...

While we can never truly know what went on behind the scenes, we do know that all 5 of the boys spent some of their best yet hardest, most challenging (i could go on) years together. When you go through something like that, you form a connection that never really goes away. Yes Zayn did distance himself from the band after he left, but it's important to consider how he would've been feeling at that time, and his reasons for doing so. Not everything is black and white. There could have been conversations that he wanted to have but felt he couldn't reach out. It goes beyond Zayn and Liam's friendship.

Of course he's going to be devastated. He lost someone who not only played an important role in his life, but someone who he once spent day after day with, experiencing ups and downs, and forming a close connection with.

[butterflytvttoo]

Where do broken hearts go?

Hi friends,

It's been a minute and god I wish it was under different circumstances. I cannot believe I'm having to type this out, as the past 24 hours have been so surreal. Liam Payne is no more.

This comes to a shock for most of us, please hug your directioner friends a little tighter for me the next time you see them. We might not all have supported his actions throughout these past years, but we've loved him for a long long time. As many of us mourn the man we once knew, the man who played an important role in our youth and teenage years. Someone who was considered one of our first loves. We must remain kind towards each other as well, at the end of the day we are a family and yes we might not see eye to eye all the time, but we've been a family for years.

I've seen fangirls become such an intricate part of my life, friends turned to sisters even after all these years.

Let us not forget that two things can be right at the same time, let's not be upset or angry at the people that chose to hold him accountable but choose to mourn the man that they grew up with.

Let's keep his family, friends and everyone else that loved him in our minds and hearts tonight while we're forced to navigate the question of "Where do broken hearts go?"

PS. Let's not leave hate to any of the ladies that came forward against Liam. It's crazy how their comment sections have filled with the most vile comments, we're grown now. We need to do better.

rest in peace, liam payne.

the passing of liam payne has been truly a tragedy. after having some time to process this devastating loss, i can honestly say that i am in absolute shock regarding the series of events which have occurred.

one direction has played a significant role throughout my childhood and adolescence. my initial reaction was pure disbelief but my emotions didn't start to kick in until several days later. i started listening to one direction when i was around 11 or 12 years old, just when their career started in their up all night days. i was a huge harry & zayn girl back then but harry has always been my favourite. ever since the boys transitioned into their solo careers, i would say harry has been the one who i've always closely followed since the band broke up. regardless, having such a crucial and essential member of one direction simply disappear breaks my heart. all the boys had their own role and character in the band and one direction wouldn't have been the band it was without every single member. liam was such a joy and brought so much positivity. he was always "daddy direction." now listening to one direction's music, it hasn't felt the same since many of the lyrics had second meanings in relation to liam's passing. it also hurts listening to his voice knowing that he is no longer with us anymore.

obviously, there has been a lot of negativity online towards liam throughout the weeks prior to his death. it's just so shocking how much the internet and hurtful words can have an impact on someone. i think everyone knows deep in their subconscious that online bullying has always been a thing and people need to be kind on social media. however, now that all of this drama has surfaced, i think myself and many others are shocked at how cruel the world can be. especially since liam is so young and well known. i think the news just slapped everyone in the face and gave us a reality check that online bullying is still a real and relevant thing. we need to take it seriously because too many lives have been lost.

moreover, one direction was such a significant part of myself and so many others' upbringings that it feels like a huge generational loss. one direction was a big part of growing up and thought us life lessons. we've always had this strong sense of community. it's beautiful seeing everyone come together and support one another while mourning liam's loss. however it is sad that this unexpected reunion was related to something dreadful. i truly hope everyone can be more mindful during this horrible time and just be a little bit nicer to others. i send my condolences to liam's friends, family and obviously harry, zayn, louis and niall. i really hope they don't take the negativity towards them too closely to heart because it's been ridiculous seeing all the insensitive comments on their social media platforms. i wish all the directioners love and support as well.

as for you liam, thank you for all the memories and happiness that you brought me. my inner child is heartbroken but you and your spirit will continue to live on through your passion and your music. i will cherish everything that you and one direction has brought me. i know you were suffering and i'm sorry the world has been so cruel to you but just know you're in a better and peaceful place now. rest in peace.

Such a strange feeling I got when I read the news on Liam Payne. I'll be honest, I haven't been keeping up with the solo work of any of the guys from 1D. But the news shocked me quite a lot.

Him being a part of the first band I've ever been a fan of, they all played such a big role for me growing up.

Now I'm sitting here, at night, after my mum texted me awake with the news of his passing.

Strange strange feeling, but also quite a bit of sadness

Absolutely heartbreaking 😭

While I listen mostly to kpop now, I started my boy band 'obsession' with One Direction when I was probably 11 or 12. I don't even know how I started listening to them or why, but they played an incredibly important role in helping me grow into the person I am today ❤️

One Direction was my first real concert - becoming one of the earliest memories I have of feeling my heart soar simply from a musical experience.

It was how I initially connected to someone who would become a very close friend in my adolescent years.

The first ff I ever read was a One Direction ff.

The first ff I ever wrote was a One Direction story.

While he had some rough patches in the past few years he kept pushing along and doing what he loved - making music.

Regardless of whether you liked him or if you liked One Direction in general, you can't deny that the world has lost yet another talented artist who was far too young to go so soon 💔

My heart goes out to his friends and family (especially his son Bear, who's only 7 years old) but also to my fellow Directioners out there who are probably hurting just as much as myself and more.
