Do you think Liam is gay too? You think Maya and Kate are PR relationships but what about Sophia? He met her at school.

Hi, anon!

I think H and L are gay. The others members i'm open to being queer, but not neccessarily gay. Payzer was PR (at least the second time around), Sophiam i have no opinion about, Chiam was PR/bearding, Maya and Kate was and is PR.

I think it's much harder to figure out bi/pan men who're switching between real relationships, PR relationships and bearding relationships depending on the circumstances. Additionally, if they're straight passing, not queercoding, are low key and don't want to come out. It's almost impossible to tell what's real and what's not and if it means they're queer or straight.

I'm also not interested enough in figuring it out, keeping up with them and doing the research neccessary to conclude one way or the other. I find H and L a million times more interesting, and it's time consuming to keep up with everything. So i'm like, sure, the others could be queer.

[harryandlouisarehappilystrong]

We all know Larry is real and they've been in love for years, but do you believe Ziam was/is real?

BRUH HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO MY BLOG BEFORE?????????????

I kid I kid but Jesus is Lord YES I DO!

Probably 60% of my blog is being a raging mess that so many people don��t believe it’s real lol. Feel free to check out all the tags I’m about to link in this post.

Same old shit, but a different day

[yaz-the-spaz]

Hot Tip

@antis when you have a shit ton of people in the industry literally telling you it's a stunt...it just might be a stunt fam

(...like they're kind of the experts? they work in this industry for a living and they know what's up and how shit works? so for ya'll to always be hopping on your high horse acting all high and mighty telling them they're wrong is kind of ridiculous tbh...would you tell a cardiologist they're doing open heart surgery wrong? no. cause you don't know shit about open heart surgery. so why would you deign to think you know more than someone who's seen and lived this kind of shit firsthand? it's like climate change my dude, if you have a bunch of experts telling you something's not right...it's probably not right)

[twopoppies]

if you have been here since early 1d, was everyone on tumblr , twitter , ect a Larrie? and did anyone at the time believe in bbg and the stunts?

Hi love. I think the Twitter fandom was always pretty active. But Tumblr had a lot more going on then… as a creative person it was just wildly inspiring to be here. There was so much art, fic after fic after fic, FIMQ making videos, masterposts and analysis etc etc. I don’t know. I was on IG then, too, and it was fun there. But Tumblr was a place where it you could hold long-form conversations and get to know people.

What I remember is that there were larries, antis, and neutrals back then. And there was a lot of pressure to like all 5 boys the same. You were allowed to have a fave, but no one had a solo account. We were One Direction fans, first and foremost.

There were always people who believed the stunts… there were Elounor supporters, H*ylor fans, lots of people thought Zerrie and Sophiam were real relationships etc.

Zayn leaving was the first small rift I remember. It was the first time we had something like one group still supporting Zayn, while another shifted focus to OT4 only. But Babygate was what really ripped the fandom apart.

1DHQ had been slowly chipping away at the fandom, but babygate created houies (larries who thought HL had broken up/Louis had cheated/Louis was a dad). Eventually Houies morphed into solo stans/rads and now we have this ridiculously fractured fandom that eats itself when it’s bored.

[quietzap]

Do you think that Andy and Liam still friends? On his wedding was Sophia but not Liam 🤔

I actually talked about this with a mutual the other day. I have no idea, I would say yes but maybe they're not as close as they used to be. My mutual thinks Andy was a "fake" friend to make sophiam look more real. But Andy has been there since TXF, years before sophiam started. It's hard to know bc all of Liam's friends or "friends" (like those who appeared right when sophiam started) that we've seen publicly come from Wolverhampton and Birmingham where he went to school. Tho I'm sure he has other friends we don't know about. So who knows 🤷 But maybe Liam simply couldn't go because of his work schedule (the wedding was rescheduled bc of covid so maybe things didn't work out) or yeah maybe they grew apart 🤷 guess we'll see

[verseziam]

not to be a tinhat but liam and zayn are both really tan and that pic zayn posted on instagram is obviously old so all im saying is its highly possible they went on vacation recently :) 

[breefarrow]

honestly i don't know where people got that rbb and sbb have something to do with ziam LOL

It doesn't look through any masterpost made when it was happening in real it isn't mentioned. The BIGGEST thing they had to link it was the "ziam levine stylinson" post it note which was debunked. Smaller things they claimed was the colored stickers on the feet [it was 💛 and 🧡 not even ❤ sticker bc to them 💛❤ = ziam guess orange is the new red] and the fact that they dressed the bear as batman one night and Li likes batman but what does that have to do with ziam?

Could easily just be the bears letting you know who their friends are. Lastly they said the countdown was to Sophiam [literally how ??] according to them nothing else was happening during the countdown. The bears were GONE for a while [I say do to shit L&H were going thought behind the scenes due to BG progression] and the countdown was just leading up to the bears return. Like I said tho the BIGGEST thing to link the bears to ziam was the post it note that was debunked so any little thing after holds almost NO merit.

Closeting part. 3.

Y la amargura realmente no se disipó??

"Horrible, te lo dije."

Estas son algunas de las formas en que la gente pudo entender que Haylor no estaba en el nivel. Quiero decir, que Harry y Louis pisaron el pedal (heavy metal, natch) en sus tatuajes complementarios a pesar de ser "enemigos mortales" en ese momento tampoco ayudó, pero el stunt de barba de Haylor fue la imitación de más alto perfil que Harry Styles haya hecho. parte de, y con todo el conocimiento retrospectivo que el público está empezando a juntar con la carrera de Kaylor y Taylor como barba, definitivamente no ayuda a vender la noción de su heterosexualidad.

Para ser justos, nadie en ese momento podría haber sabido que Haylor sería una mala jugada.

Pero fue. Desde entonces, a Harry se le han dado fauxmances mediocres que funcionan más en la implicación de que está con una mujer, más que él en realidad ... ya sabes. Estar con una mujer, salvo por alguna ocasional cita de helado.

Es como el tema de "ni siquiera menciones los rumores" de lo que hablamos: trabajar a través de la sugerencia en lugar del reconocimiento descarado vende el punto mejor, porque tu celebridad en el armario no tiene la oportunidad de equivocarse, intencionalmente o no.

Elounor funcionó un poco mejor. Esto se debió a que El desempeñó su papel bastante bien. No hizo entrevistas ni dijo algo revelador en las redes sociales. Hizo lo que le pidieron con fotos de Instagram/papwalks/mascotas "compartidas". Promocionó ropa y cosas que las chicas podrían, posiblemente, ir a comprar para sentirse más cerca de ella o de Louis. Hizo todo lo posible con la cara apestosa que Louis comenzó a lanzar en las fotos después de unos años; si bien no se veía realmente encantada de estar cerca de él, rara vez se veía completamente miserable. Y cuando se acabó el tiempo, siguió su camino en silencio, con Max a cuestas.

Sin embargo, la conexión de Larry se había establecido en la mente de las personas, y aquellos que la vieron no pudieron dejar de verla. Louis, de manera muy poco sutil, hizo lo mínimo con su novia falsa durante años antes de que tiraran del cordón.

La falta de sutileza en la ejecución condenó los intentos de barbar a Larry, debilitando así significativamente su closeting.

Mientras tanto, Zayn, quien, como comentamos, le parece a la gente que no es del todo heterosexual, pero que no encaja lo suficiente con el estereotipo tradicionalmente masculino como para ser retratado de la forma en que lo es Liam, estaba "comprometido" con Perrie.

No voy a perder mucho tiempo repasando cómo se realizan todas las falsificaciones 1D de la misma manera o cómo, en realidad, el tatuaje de Perrie no es Perrie. El punto que se debe hacer para nuestros propósitos es que (aunque al final es ridículo y en gran medida no creído) lo que a Zerrie le faltaba en sutileza lo compensaba con mucho en juego. ¡Porque Zayn estaba comprometido! Eso es un gran problema, ¿verdad? ¡Tenía un tatuaje de ella! ¡Esos no se lavan!

Modest hizo el reclamo de la única manera que pudieron con Zayn, con la ventaja adicional de promover uno de sus otros actos: Zayn estaba comprometido para casarse, y seguramente eso no se puede fingir, ¿verdad?

A lo que el público, en general, respondió por supuesto que no.

Pero este es un fandom analítico, e incluso aquellos que no estaban en el tren Ziam se dieron cuenta de la pesca. Lo que sea. Zerrie no era la barba perfecta y sutil que podría haber sido, en otras circunstancias y con otros jugadores. Quizás, en virtud de que Perrie también tenía una carrera pública, estaba condenado sin importar qué. Las mentiras exageradas no se sostienen demasiado bien bajo un escrutinio repetido.

"Ahora besense."

-Palabras reales que tuvo que decir un matón de la gerencia para que este momento incómodo se uniera.

Luego tenemos a Sophiam. Y esto, amigos, debería ser un motivo de orgullo para cualquier imbécil que lo diseñó, porque por falso que sea, también funcionó muy bien.

Idealmente, la barba se hace con un nivel de cooperación de la persona que lleva la barba, más allá del cumplimiento contractual y de mala gana. Liam no es muy bueno para cumplir con eso, pero al igual que Elounor (la prima más cercana de Sophiam en relación con el estilo de barba), Soph es buena interpretando su papel. Ella hace lo que se le pide con Insta. Participa en caminatas con pap. Promueve productos en sus redes sociales y en su cuerpo. (Vaya, eso es como ... inquietantemente similar, en realidad.) Ella no hace mucho ruido fuera de eso.

Y Liam sigue el juego, o lo hacen sus redes sociales. Hay una pequeña desconexión entre este Liam:

y @Liam, que aparentemente tiene cualquier nivel de clase y respeto por su @novia, tienes que publicar fotos de su trasero en tu Twitter.

Quiero decir, bueno, eso no es del todo justo. Puedes tenerlos uno encima del otro en la vida real, solo tienes que emborrachar a Liam peligrosamente primero.

Entonces, cada vez que todo esto se junta y se cuestiona la relación ("¿Por qué nunca vemos, como, un video en el que se vean felices juntos?"), La respuesta es una mentira que se maneja sola. ("SON UNA PAREJA PRIVADA ESTAR EN PÚBLICO LOS HACE FRENAR MUCHO OKAYYY")

¡Y aún así! La gente trata a Sophiam como si fuera el año 1998 y fuera el Beanie Baby más nuevo; lo compran, sin pensarlo ni razonar. "Algún día valdrá la pena, muchachos. Es un objeto de colección".

¿Porqué es eso? Parte de esto son los factores previamente discutidos:

la prohibición de dirigirse a Ziam en entrevistas y, hasta hace poco, todos los medios, que previene las negaciones sin negación y mata de hambre el fuego de su combustible.

La sensibilidad ultra-íntima de Liam y Zayn se normaliza el uso de estereotipos imágenes masculinas y la configuración de compromiso "demasiado grande para ser un farol"

Pero también se debe a que Sophiam es una imitación que se sienta y hace pucheros en su yate en el sur de Francia, y deja que el público lo encuentre a mitad de camino.

Closeting ineficaz: realice una barba de alto perfil, donde más ojos estarán en la situación. Si es posible, haz que alguien famoso sea el barbudo; no es como si tuvieran entrevistas propias en las que puedan arruinarlo, ¿verdad?

Closeting efectivo: use una persona bonita pero desconocida para minimizar su interacción con el público y evitar que la mentira sea revelada y, cuando se le pregunte, diga que es simplemente "privada". Manipula las cuentas de celebridades en las redes sociales, ya que no se puede confiar en que ellos mismos lo vendan de manera convincente. Permita que las gafas del público hagan el resto.

Credibilidad: Destrúyelo, evidentemente.

En dos ocasiones distintas, la cuenta de Twitter de Louis ha desmentido a Larry y su rareza en general:

Con más de dos años de diferencia, estos tweets finalmente obtuvieron la misma reacción de los partidarios de Larry:

"Esos obviamente no eran él. Eran un administrador de redes sociales empleado por Modest para administrar su cuenta".

Lo suficientemente justo. Los SMMS son casi omnipresentes para las celebridades: puede obtener conciertos para los menos conocidos en sitios de escritura independientes, y funcionan en todas las plataformas: Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter e incluso Tumblr. Eso no quiere decir que las celebridades nunca twitteen, publiquen o tomen fotos. Pero todo está monitoreado, y todo está sujeto a declaraciones de eliminación o recuperación si no se ajusta a la marca aprobada por la celebridad.

En dos ocasiones distintas, la cuenta de Twitter de Liam mostró su apoyo a Duck Dynasty y su estrella homofóbica, además de confirmar su total no homosexualidad:

"Esos obviamente no eran él", ¿verdad? Chicos ¿Chicos?

.......

Enormes franjas del fandom, irónicamente, muchos de los cuales eran remitentes de Larry y, por lo tanto, sabían exactamente cómo se manipuló este juego, condenaron a Liam por el primer tweet y se apoyaron en el segundo como evidencia fácil para negar a Ziam/probar aún más la homofobia de Liam. Esto, a pesar de que tienen tanto sentido como los tweets mierda y mierda 2.0 de Louis.

(Las similitudes entre Louis y Liam en las redes sociales son realmente asombrosas, de verdad, hasta su tono:

Foto de Louis Tomlinson atrapado en un armario.

Foto publicada por Andy unos días después de que se anunciara la ruptura de Elounor.)

Cuando se supo que Liam haría una sesión y una entrevista con Attitude, la gente salió de la madera para mencionar cómo finalmente pudo arrepentirse de sus formas homófobas de hermano-amigo.-o si no se quejaban de la injusticia de que un hombre heterosexual aterrizara en la portada (porque heterosexual es lo predeterminado, ¿no?).

Comprender: los tweets de Liam se organizaron. También lo eran los de Louis. Entonces, ¿por qué un fandom conocido por su capacidad analítica soltó colectivamente la pelota sobre la superficialidad del tipo que se veía así cuando Harry tuvo su momento "no tan importante" ...

[overwhelmedbyfeels]

There’s so much dissonance around the boys. They’re portrayed as dicks in the press but everybody who’s met them sing praises and speak well of them. We have the fans that believe everything about them, but somehow don’t believe they’re dicks. We have the fans that question things based in years of bullshit, but are vilified for picking up what the boys put down themselves...

Can we ever get some consistency here? Can that be a thing one day? in less than 20 years preferably?

[abc1dspntjlc4]

not that anyone asked but as a former anti...it took me a long time to believe in/acknowledge ziam and larry (i joined the fandom at the end of 2011/early 2012 but didn’t become a ziam or a larry until 2015) because i believed in what the media was telling me. i was not a casual fan by any means, but i never bothered to look into or ask why the media/PR/the label (whomever) was trying to sell the het narrative. i just accepted it. i actually went as far as to watch anti-larry videos and stuff and would like pics and “receipts” about sophiam (never really believed in zayn’s beards tho it felt too PR-y). it wasn’t until zayn left that i really reevaluated what i was doing in the fandom, how i thought about my place in the fandom, and how my beliefs didn’t align with what was going on with the band.  I knew we weren’t being told the full truth, and that was finally when i decided to really look and see if i could get some info about what was going on, which is how i ended up finding ziam and actually looking into larry. (also internalized homophobia is real kids). Then babygate hit, and i just knew that it wasn’t true and it solidified my beliefs. Basically im saying this because 1) im drunk as shit lmao, but also because 2) clearly something has been and still is going on behind the scenes rn, and after getting hit with 3 babygates, it just goes to show how none of the stunts and beards are real. It took zayn leaving (SHADY AS FUCK) and babygate HAPPENING to turn an anti into the biggest ziam/larry believer. so those are my 2 cents on everything happening rn. Ziam is real, Larry is real, and there is nothing that can change my belief in that. 

[justapayneaway]

If they broke up, why make the fuss over V-day? What was the point of showing this video of him giving her this cringey present if they were going to be over in 2 weeks? I have so many questions... 🤯

Who the fuck knows? They never made sense with break-ups...

Remember that Sophiam was over a week after Liam was publicly mentioning marriage with her on a lot of interviews. So, these things don’t need to make sense! Hell even in real life break-ups don’t make sense and can happen randomly.

[zouis-poof]

Possible Ships- 1D

The first step to anything is reviewing any possible outcomes or anything that can interfere with whatever you're doing. So, first things first we have to list anything that can possibly be true how much I believe it and about how many people believe it. I will not be doing and proof here just stating some possible “relationships” or “Bromance”. In the band there are 10 possible two person relationships( I won't be doing any threeway or more relationships mainly because not that many people believe it, but maybe if i have some spare time i'll do short “Proofs” of them).

Niall+Harry = Narry

Niall+Zayn = Ziall

Niall+Louis = Nouis

Niall+Liam = Niam

Liam+Harry = Lirry

Liam+Louis = Lilo

Liam+Zayn = Ziam

Zayn+Louis = Zouis

Zayn+Harry = Zarry

Harry+Louis= Larry

Narry

- I don't believe that they were/are in a relationship. I just see a friendship. Most people could say “well it's at least see a bromance” but to me personally I believe they were just close friends, mainly because I don't see anything that can be even conceived as proof /Based on how much “proof” videos and master posts there are I'm gonna conclude that Narry is one of the More popular ships.

Ziall

- Like Narry all I see in this is a friendship. Most proof moments surrounding them just include things like dancing together, Cheek kissing, arm around the shoulder but mostly Zayn does with everyone. /This ship is smaller so less people believe they are truly together/.

Nouis

- In my opinion I think Nouis were just the classic “Bros”. Louis would give Niall a lil’ slap here and there whilst Niall would accept it and not retaliate. Even though louis would “bully/ Harass” him Louis is still protective over the bean. Mostly Dancing, a hand kiss, arm around/ on the shoulder and of course Louis putting the mic over to Niall's mouth whilst he's singing. /Nouis as a relationship though I can see most people don't think they are in a relationship but just “bros”.

Niam

- With this friendship I again don't see any solid proof to prove them as real. The only thing I can say regarding them is they’re are very touchy with each other. Different from any other Niall ships even though this is something common with Liam ships (being very touchy) / Although they are touchy this is a smaller ship/.

Lirry

- /Lirry I think might be one of the smallest ships here. Although, there are many fan video edits I could not find any proof or Master posts /. Saying this I don't want to give my full opinion on this mainly because there isn't anything to tell me otherwise based on the “proofs” I see (They’re mainly just pictures) I can tell that this is just a friendship nothing more nothing less.

Lilo

- Lilo is one of those friendships where you like to constantly play with the person, Have fun and joke around with them. As we all know the many water fights the two have gotten into /I think I know Lilo isn't that popular, but when Zayn left the two grew closer. By what  I can tell the two just like to have a little banter here and there.

Ziam

- Ziam, I watched that “Story of Ziam” Video on YouTube and noticed that most of the “Proof” is just mainly debunking the relationships they were in and how Perrie and Sophia were beards to cover their sexuality. Too me thought I see Sophiam as a PR relationship ( Also, I think every “ Girlfriend” or “ relationship” in the band were used as PR. Mainly because relationships like Sophiam, Elounor, Haylor and Zerrie were pushed whenever they were releasing something ) I forgot to say my opinion on this but I see Ziam as a bromance. /PR relationship why I think it was PR will be discussed in later post. / but based of the “proof” and master post I think Ziam is one of the second most popular ships/.

Zouis

- I love Zouis I see them as a romance, but the type of romance  that has no labels. Although, all of the “proof” moments between them include the same thing as all other ships have just in the past 2-21/2  years saw it as something more and I think it's because of the amount of care, affection and time they give each other. The blog @Zouis-needs-more-love. Also, helped a lot when I was digging more into their “relationship” when looking over all this I'm trying to be as unbiased  as possible  and I think it has worked. / Zouis was a popular ship but people only saw them as ‘bros’. I found that weird considering how much time they spend with each other but like I said earlier about Ziam being a PR. I'm not gonna say anymore.

Zarry

- I don't want to say much about this because then i'll start to rant and bring up receipts and stuffs, but I will say that their “relationship” seemed like: Jealous, “Sexual” tension, bromance type of thing. I think it's cute but I DON'T ship it.

Larry

- Like Zarry I don't want to say much about this except the fact that I used to believe it but now i just ship it. This relationship I think was an Angust, PR, Brotherly love , bromance type of thing. /One of the biggest ships. Also, if they were together don't you think management would find a way to hide it but also let them publicly show affection.  I’m NOT an anti though because sometimes i still believe it a bit/.

| Everyone is entitled to their own opinions these are just mine. I do not mean any disrespect or don't want it to seem like im giving any hate to the people that ship any of these people. I’m not telling anyone who to ship or what to believe or not believe in. Thank you. :) |

[yaz-the-spaz]

Hi ! I really want to know about the bullying happened to Liam? I’ve been listening to Zayn’s MOM and some lyric (know what you’ve been through etc) remind me of this.... I just thought it would really help me understand Ziam’s relationship better? Also if you know anything about Zayn’s early life I would die to know! Thanks! Hope it’s not too much to ask(btw I watched the videos that Liam’s high school girlfriend Shannon posted in 2010, he was so cute, that kind of triggered me to know more too

hey nonnie, i don’t really have much concrete information on this unfortunately other than what little liam’s shared himself. i’m not sure how much of that you’ve seen though so this may or may not be new info for you at all but i guess i’ll just sum up what i can remember of what he’s said which is pretty much just general stuff: 

he was bullied in school as a teen (not sure about before his teen years but it also wouldn’t surprise me) and didn’t have really have many close friends...there’s possibly also a point where he didn’t have any just based on what’s known about his 16th birthday which is that literally not a single person showed up after he invited (i think??) his whole class or at least a good portion of it and his family went all out with getting a big fancy cake and lots of decorations and i think even rented out a little venue space or something like that to host the party and it just ended up being the 5 of them...i can’t seem to find it at the moment but there’s a pic of him somewhere where he’s literally just sitting there at the table all by himself with this big cake (that was obviously meant for way more than 5 people) and it’s absolutely heart-breaking. idk if you’ve seen any of the backstory of sophiam but supposedly there was a girl in high school that liam really liked and he tried a few times to ask her out and every time she turned him down. sophia is rumored to be that girl (though how true that is, or how much it was just a convenient way to sell the narrative of them as some sort of super messed-up version of high school sweethearts i ofc have no real idea). but anyway that, combined with kind of off-hand comments i feel like i remember him making along the lines of being sort of unlucky in love growing up, i think also says a lot of how he was treated and perceived in school. there’s also the fact that at one point the bullying got so bad his dad enrolled him in boxing as a way to help boost his self-esteem and help him feel more confident about defending and sticking up for himself. and after he went on txf in 2008 things only got worse cause, despite whatever brief fame/notoriety and positive-ish attention he might have gotten shortly following his run on the show, after about a year or so of things with his music career not really progressing (and people around town recognizing him and noticing that he hadn’t “done” anything else or really “gone anywhere” in his career) he started getting publicly ridiculed. random people would literally yell cruel stuff at him in the street or in fast food restaurants about him basically being a has-been and stuff like that...

as for zayn i don’t really know much of his early life either other than little bit i’ve shared that i recall seeing. i know it was circulated that he was out as bi as young as 15/16 and that ppl from his school and from the bradford area (esp the areas close to his neighborhood) knew. he was also bullied in his early years (more around elementary school/primary school age) b/c his school at the time was primarily full of white and kids apparently they would literally call him “funny-looking” and stuff like that and make fun of him for being brown and muslim, but he eventually switched schools and things got a lot better. that’s about all i know for him though
