Star In My Mind Live Blogging

Finally get to this after months goddamn but I wanted to watch it before 2022 ended and I’m in the mood for something lighthearted, so here we go :)

Episode 1 (Oct 8)

1-1

dang, we at 4 million views

loll Kluen and Nuea just staring at each other after meeting again while everyone else being like “girl, is he okay?”

people I recognize so far: Pawin, Sammy and also the guy from Love By Chance who played Pond the horny roommate (Yacht)

1-2

loll Nuea pretending to not know Kleun and then recounting every detail about him while in his car is cute

this is JJ, who is not the same twin who plays in The Eclipse

1-4

ah yes here comes the Nuea using “Dao” to refer to himself on the phone, which is what he said he’d call himself in a relationship and Kluen overhearing

poor Nuea’s skull really taking hit after hit

lol that’s gotta be a dream confession + kiss right? I’m onto you GMMTV after the Eclipse imaginary kiss ep 6 and Vice Versa imaginary reunion Ep 11. I think I’ve seen comments of the Cupid’s Last Wish Magic of Zero episode having an imaginary proposal as well, is GMMTV tryna hit the trope for every BL of theirs?

Two reddits posts: some drama about the casting and pronoun choices (Nuea using Gu/Meung rude pronouns), Missing In Translation ep 1

The acting isn’t super great (kinda stiff) but it’s really cute so far

Episode 2 (Oct 8)

2-1

no way kluen saw nuea asking about food delivery and brought him food from his home

2-2

Nuea excitedly showing Kluen posts of people shipping him and Kluen together... my guy

Kluen: “but i never told you that. you seem to know a lot about me.” oh nuea lmfao

the “have a good flight” is awkward as hell in the flashback but cute callback in present day

the shopping part is cute. kluen’s so into nuea lol

goddamn, this show has endless ~long-held stares~

2-3

oh yeah, there’s no way Gia or Fah are their faens

2-4

lmfao the NueaKluen vs KluenNuea fun little arguments in the show are made more funny by the fact that people were upset Nuea’s character’s more stereotypically uke/0 traits were removed

ahh Kluen’s “you’re feeling uncomfortable?” also the bg music here for some reason reminds me of Bengali/Indian music? what instrument is this?

loll Fah has appeared

hmm I should sleep now but I wanna see Kluen be jealous of Fah + I think Ep 3 is the episode where they get drunk, so I’ll watch it lol

Episode 3 (Oct 8)

3-1

people unknowingly shipping Fah and Nuea aka brothers together rip

people who like Nuea: Kluen, Typhoon, Maithee

3-2

naurr Kluen hearing Nuea say his type is someone like Fah

“y’know, i’m an expert in drawing your face” ahh omg nuea confessing his whole book of kluen drawings while drunk

3-3

loll the iconic scene of Sean seeing Nuea and Kluen cuddling after waking up

lmfao “i’m so cool i can totally take care of myself while drunk” and it’s kluen actually changing his bandages for him

dying Joong was so confused by Fah being Nuea’s Phi, he had to ask multiple times

woahh Nuea handing the marker to Kluen bringing back memories

Nuea so cute! “If you’re gonna bring that [the confession] up, just shut up!”

3-4

From the pic we saw of her before, I was like Kluen’s mom seems familiar... and yeah, it’s Pitch and Prae’s mom from PS I Hate You lmfao

Kluen talked to mom bout Nuea

funny to see Nuea having dinner with Kluen and his mom at this house a day after seeing the same in The Eclipse ep 9 ah familiar stairs

damn, does the mom not like Gia or her parents?

lol Kluen ~suggesting~ his mom go to bed

gonna ignore them having a play fight while Nuea’s leg isn’t healed

Episode 4 (Oct 9)

4-1

lol Sean seeing them cuddling last ep + now seeing Kluen give Nuea his roses 

Kluen’s so attentive toward Nuea

kluen unbuttoning his wrist button before approaching Nuea... 

4-2

What did Kluen win? he’s wearing a sash too right?

bye everybody clasping their hands and bowing when they realize Fah really is Nuea’s brother

oh yeah +1 girl added to the list of people who loves Nuea

4-3

ahh so did Nuea write his confession on the pic?? and Kluen keep it with him for a year?

Kluen is so funny with his “[the resort] can be yours too” and “[my mom] can be your mom too” like are you proposing marriage lmfao

This dinner table is hilarious, everyone but TingTing and Sean likes Nuea

4-4

Papang’s cute in the confession scene but idk what her longterm goal is? she’s okay even if he likes someone else but asks him to not turn her down yet bc she wants to love him for a bit? idgi

rip Kluen’s now got the wrong idea about Nuea and Typhoon now probably

interesting how Nuea can’t say no bc he was the one asking for a chance before

Episode 5 (Oct 9)

5-1

long ass “previously” preview, it was like 2 mins??

this convo between Nuea and Kluen confused me writing-wise but I think they were confused too so I’ll let it pass

5-2

Damn, Nuea did Kluen’s high school art homework for him in secret? also, hmm significance of sunflowers

misunderstandings upon misunderstandings. kluen sees phoon and nuea together -> thinks nuea doesn’t like him anymore, says he should move on and be happy w phoon -> nuea thinks kluen knows how he feels, so is telling him to move on and be with phoon

5-3

Sean does know it all

oof Nuea has points. i remember seeing the clips and some convo about Kluen kissing Nuea here and yeah, interesting to see the context. 

5-4

wasn’t expecting their confrontation again to be this ep too

Episode 6 (Oct 9)

6-2

Nuea giving him 10 mins to say what he needs to say and Kluen’s all “Can I call Noel first? I don’t wanna say something stupid”

6-3

Damn, Nuea crying is so </333

Phoon... Nuea is legit crying and in distress and sad, can you stop just tryna make him give you an answer you wanna hear?

6-4

I just don’t like Phoon in this episode 

rolling my eyes at phoon kissing nuea + this random ass fight wtf

Nuea saying “I hate you” multiple times to Kluen esp in front of everybody is a lot

Joong and Dunk are cute and good at like the more lighthearted earlier ep stuff bc it made me feel giddy but for these more emotional moments, esp Kluen who has to communicate with eyes a lot, I wonder what more skilled actors could’ve shown

Episode 7 (Oct 9)

7-1

I truly don’t understand why neither Phoon nor Papang don’t take Nuea’s rejections seriously like why do you keep wanting one more chance bruv

7-2

I wish we didn’t continue have girls in abusive relationships in BLs so that one of the love interests can go save her, ignoring his boyfriend/bf-to-be, thus causing friction between them, which is given more weight and gravity than the fucking abusive relationship. 

“This is the second thai BL i’ve watched released this year where the love interest has to go save a girl from a very serious domestic abuse situation and its main purpose is to cause conflict and lack of communication between the main couple and the situation is not given the actual weight it should be. like y’all can’t think of anything else? really? if its not a bitchy girl tryna break them up or an invasive shipper, women now gotta be abuse victims for a little conflict?” <- what i wrote on discord. other one was love mechanics

7-3

Girl the tonal shift in this is not good

and a sleep kiss? you don’t want me to like this?

Episode 8 (Oct 9)

8-1

when kluen’s being fed apple while lying on nuea’s lap, he grabs and kisses nuea’s hand which is adorable

8-3

Fah just casually drunk driving?

Sean and Maithee moments are really ramped up these past 2 eps

Fine, cute enough. Got annoying in the middle with the Phoon thing and then got boring after they got together. The start was the strongest part, the way they portrayed being awkward around one another but still having giddy, cute moments was great. It’s kinda like Vice Versa in the sense that it’s a fun show to binge but you mustn’t think while doing so.

JoongDunk messing around in Behind

Joong being shy while Dunk is bold - Behind

Behind - daring Dunk and Joong getting teased for blushing “I thought you were the cool one” @ Joong

[a-halfblood-named-coin]

I’m really bored and sick so here’s why I think this theory

Is bullshit. It’s some Instagram comment, I wiped out the @ so the person doesn’t hate me lol.

1st, it was a one night stand. Typical bg narrative, yes it is possible L got drunk and had sex and got a random girl pregnant on the first try. The only thing I’d like to point out here is that L’s party boy, drunk image was very recent at the time. In 2015 L was the least papped member and mostly stayed indoors (in the eyes of the public) and all of a sudden he started being seen in clubs daily. I’m talking every single night, he was seen. It was weird, what was weirder was his party planner (some guy on twt who got L into these parties and such) would consistently tweet about when and where L was going to party somewhere. It seemed dangerous, to be almost live tweeting a celebrities location. Something a manegment would fire over..unless of course that was his job. Instead consider the easiest way to get paps somewhere is of course, to tell them. And since modest couldn’t do it, they hired this guy to make sure L was ‘caught’ out as much as possible. Modest purposefully sent L to all these parties in preparation for Bg so he would slot easier into the “irresponsible, drunk, washed up boy bander” stereotype.

2. L lost a custody battle. They also mention some kind of internal fight about the kid but that’s all bull shit cause the kid wasn’t theirs to fight over. Was it possible for L to lose a custody battle? I’m going with no. In California it is true that the mother of a child will automatically get full custody if the parents are not married. Since L and B are not (and never will be) married B would have gotten custody easily. L then could have run off back to London not giving a shit about his kid. But OP is saying that L wanted to have shared custody and failed to receive it. So according to them, L wants freddo he just can’t get custody. So how do you get custody? I’m not going to pretend that the legal system isn’t a bitch but L. Is. A. Fucking. MILLIONARE. He could afford the best lawyers possible to speak for him, there is no way in my mind that L would have lost ALL custody if they had gotten to that point. But they didn’t. They never went to court...why? Because that requires proof of parentage I.E a paternity test. Something L’s team has gone on RECORD saying he never got. If he never proved the baby was his with DNA, he doesn’t have a legal claim to the child. Therefore no custody battle. So OP is wrong because, it never got that far. Either L didn’t care enough to get a pat test OR he knew the baby wasn’t his. And no, no fucking millionaire (or regular person!) would claim a child and pay for them if they weren’t sure it was theirs. There was no custody battle because why would you fight over custody of a baby that isn’t yours.

3. Danielle? Idk why D is here at all but basically OP uses her as an explanation for some other weird occurrences. Like L allegedly not being allowed in the room when B gave birth. This would be weirder if they were dating but they weren’t so I could care less. But OP also brings up the parking lot trade offs. Stating that she (B) didn’t want D to know where she lives...like she’s dangerous? What? Do you think D was going to egg her house? Doesn’t make sense. It ALSO doesn’t make sense for a millionare and his baby mama to trade said baby in a public parking lot like a bag of groceries. Remember publicly they are supposed to be on good terms, friends but excited to be parents. The only reason I could see a parking lot being used is if you and your co parent are on bad terms and need a neutral space where no one person has more power. But again GOOD TERMS and if they aren’t on good terms the media lied and you have to start wondering what else they lied about blah blah blah leads back to bg. It would make more sense to go to one of there houses, because yknow THEYRE FAMOUS of corse they’ll get papped tossing the baby back and forth like a football if they do it in public. So obviously, it was just another way for them to get papped to prove the stunts legitimacy when in reality it just makes of more obvious.

In conclusion, OP I’m sorry to tell you this but your theory makes no sense and Louis has never had sex with a women. so sorry, good nigh

[satendou]

OKAY OKAY OKAY I KNOW THIS IS SOOOO CLICHE BUT LIKE 😠😠😠 im such a SUCKER for relationships with a deep understanding for e/o and a poly relationship w bokuaka would be just THAT.... like im so INVESTED also omg talk abt ur fav poly pairings bc ive read thru ur entire poly tag and im in love 😞😞😞 suddenly i do want to be in a poly relationship w the hq boys (i am also a rarepair kinda girl so seeing u write about them as poly pairings make my heart go 💗💗💗💗 i luv it so much thank u for ur service)

you saying i have a deep understanding of e/o: what is e/o?

hrnnnngd wjeheveve i loved reading this i was so tempted to just hoard it 🥺

uhhhhh my favorite poly pairings are probably iwaoi, akiwa (iwaka? iwakaashi? anyway i get da point), kuraka, daikuro (daishou not daichi sorry), and whatever the hell the ship name is for semi/shirabu.

iwaoi should be obvious like,,,they have such a strong bond already that it feels like one of the most natural pairings. i don’t have to fight to see how they might interact. i always imagine oikawa acting like a little gremlin just to rile iwa up, and iwa is SO obvious about his feelings for oiks bc he’ll start stumbling over his “shittykawa” insults in fear that oikawa will ✨suddenly✨ be hurt by them.

iwa: i don’t wanna be obvious about it

you mattsun and makki, in the bg, watching him stutter through a painful number of insults for oikawa: sure jan

oikawa, pretending to be oblivious: what was that iwa-chan?

kuraka isn’t quite as fluid to me as boaka would be but i just know that akaashi and kuroo would be the cheekiest, sweetest, dorkiest idiots in a relationship. kuroo enjoys inconveniencing you to the nth degree, and akaashi will sit back and watch it happen. akaashi is a good cook (you can’t change my mind) and makes sure you’re eating correctly, but will get kuroo back for shenanigans by telling him he doesn’t get to eat. also: puns. that’s all.

one of my rarepairs is probably more like a “uniquepair” but whatever. iwakaashi just slammed me in the head with a mallet one day and took hold. akaashi takes a LOT of pride in flustering iwa, but iwa doesn’t realize how easily he flusters akaashi in return, bc he’s too busy being flustered. iwa has an obsession with akaashi’s hands (don’t we all), and akaashi always loses his ability to think when iwa wanders in shirtless (i’m losing my ability to think just thinking about it oop). anyway, the relationship with them isn’t as loud as it would be with kuroo or oiks, but akaashi flourishes by being the trickster in the relationship. in the other i always see him as the more level head just bc kuroo is a bigger goofball.

uhhhh kurodai (daikuroo?) is just,,,like iwakaashi it knocked me out one day. that fuckin relationship is chaotic af. i hate to say it but they probably argue a lot. it always starts out joking, but can and will come down to a “why do you always do this” type of fight. like,,,they don’t find it hard to agree on things specifically but each of them has their own opinion and both want to do it, so neither of them want to back down. so they often devolve into petty arguments bc “nothing they suggest or do is ever right”. theirs is probably the most unstable relationship to me, but they just have to go and learn from a sort of friendship to a relationship. they’ll figure it out and then you’ll have your hands full. sarcasm, stupid puns, romantic surprises all the time. they almost burn the house down once trying to recreate the dish you had on your first date with them at home. charcoal a la city water: yum.

semirabu, shiremi, uhhhh shiremabu idfk they all sound terrible ANYWAY. semi is pretty laid back compared to shirabu, and usually just lets shirabu have his way (within reason of course) bc usually he’s right. shirabu has to learn to curb some of his more acerbic attitude at the beginning of the relationship, bc before where he’d just speak his mind, he now needs tact and boy lemme tell you, he doesn’t have that. another one that’s kinda unstable at the beginning bc shirabu has never had a serious relationship before, so he’s unsure of himself and that makes him even more uneasy, which makes him prone to lashing out more. you and semi need to be patient with him but don’t let him walk all over you either. he figures it out eventually.

this got so long sorry 💀 i just,,,love talking about them man. i don’t think most people like polyships lmao.

CALM First Listen Impressions

I’ve been doing these since SGFG and imma keep doing it till the day i die!!

Red Desert - OOF harmonies okay I see you !! Intro is hella soulful don’t tell me I’m about to cry ALREADY guys… okay that bass in the bg is thicccc and I’m living for it OOF AND THEN THE CHORUS HITS AND THOSE DRUMS BITCH THIS SONG IS SO GOOD ON JUST THE FIRST LISTEN Y’ALL AHHHHH and then that TRANSITION from chorus to second verse my mans ashton did not disappoint !! Guys I’m really feeling this song holy shit it’s so good. Bitch this RED in the bridge is rly TEASING ME like bitch KEEP GOING!!!!!!!!!! Low key this song sounds like it’s 90% saying “red desert” over and over but I’m not complaining issa bop and a half !!! AHHH THAT ENDING AND THEY REALLY WENT TO A LOWER NOTE THAT WAS SO GOOD if that ain’t my fave song on the album i’ll be hella shook. Rating: 10/10 obviously

No Shame - I’ve liked this song since the very first time I heard it it’s actually such a bop. I can’t wait to drive around with this song blasting in my car. I LOVE when Luke says “Go on and plaAaAaAce me” it’s so pretty!!! Rating: 9/10 I just wish the bridge had something different I’m not a big fan of sos ALWAYS doing slowed down choruses for bridges and once you notice it it’s hard to stop lol

Old Me - I wasn’t a huge fan of this song the first time I heard it and genuinely didn’t think it’d grow on me AT ALL, but even after the second listen I really liked it, and I’ve really come to appreciate, like, the fan service message behind it? And that music video just made me love it more. The thing I didn’t like initially and still am not a huge fan of is how autotune-y the song sounds. I know everyone uses autotune, but imo it’s way too noticeable in the song to the point where it sounds a little unpleasant once you catch it. Rating: 8/10

Easier - Okay to be honest, I hate this song LMAO like one time I was crying in the shower while I was listening to my music on shuffle and this song came on and I literally stopped crying to change the song and then went back to crying daskjfkaljl Honestly the verses are really catchy and I like the prechorus but god I DETEST the chorus so fucking much it’s so fucking annoying and that’s low key like most of the song,,, I don’t even wanna finish the song but imma force myself to lmaooooo Rating: 3/10

Teeth - I love the bass at the beginning I’m such a slut for thicccc basses. I also like how crisp? Luke’s voice sound initially idk if that’s like a weird thing to say lol. I also hate the chorus here but not as much as Easier and the other parts of the song def make up for it. Rating: 6.5/10

Wildflower - This song was also like Old Me to me where I didn’t really love it at first but really liked it the second time. It’s definitely not gonna be a favorite of the album or a song I’m probs gonna remember forever but I bet it’s gonna be a BOP at concerts which is always appreciated. PLUS I love that Calum is singing he has a very unique voice I think. Also side note I justopened the livestream and it’s a hot mess lmaooo Ash rly fucking fucked up and needed to move it onto Cal lmaoo here I thought I was in sync with everyone smh. Rating: 7.5/10 with room to grow with more listens i’m assuming

Best Years - Anyways moving on from the livestream mess from these kids who don’t know technology,,, oof first impressions: sounds like same vibes as ghost of you?? I love the line “I’ll build a house out of the mess” or whatever. The part where he sings “best yeeaaarrs” is uhhh kinda weird? I thought that when Luke sang this on live but I thought it might sound better on the track but lmao nah I still think it sounds awkward tbh. But the verses are cute. Oof that instrumental was so long I legit stopped paying attention dafkdasjlk OOF OOF OOF THAT PART WHEN THE INSTRUMENTS KICKED IN okay I live for that. Song is kinda short so it gives me vibes of Lie To Me + Ghost Of You in terms of vibe (not lyrics). Rating: 6/10

Side note: I open the stream and they’re?? Just talking abt the album???? What happened to group listen lmaoo okay I guess gotta do everything in isolation around here smh

Not in the Same Way - woah okay start right away I guess !! “You say go I won’t leave” oof I don’t like that lyric cause a bitch has dealt with it and it’s terrible!! Omg when they said “NOT IN THE SAME WAY” in unison I legit live for the boys singing in unison okay OMG WE FUCK WE FIGHT AFDKAKLDJKL he really just gets more blatant every album w these swears huh fdskjkl OOF THAT DRUM BUILD UP SOUNDED SO GOOD Okay this is def a song to bop to live I can’t wait !! “I’m sick of sadness you’re sick of sadness” oof these lyrics bitch…. okay this song is kinda repetitive which is making me kinda tired BUT it’s not the worst thing and I like the parts that they’re repeating i guess LOL oh WOAH that “eh eh ehh” part is kinda interesting OMG IS THAT AN ORIGINAL BRIDGE/THIRD VERSE? From *MY* 5sos?????????? OKAY I SEE YOU,,, Okay the repetitiveness is kinda rly annoying now but it’s okay I still enjoy the song for now but can see myself maybe not listening to this song much later bc of it (Rating: 7/10)

Lover of Mine - Okay acoustic song of the album icu icu “Butterfly lies chase them away” interesting I like that  “dance around the living room” 👀 oof this pre-chorus is really good I’m such a slut for good prechoruses !! Luke’s voice sounds so soothing and smooth but the drums in the background in the second half are a little? Much? I don’t know maybe they’ll grow on me��� I really like the lyrics of this song, I didn’t focus completely on everything but,, dare I say,,,, it might be some of their strongest writing yet??!? Omg I love love love these instrumentals near the end esp the piano sounds so beautiful and kind of reminded me of the interlude after San Francisco. Overall I think this song was honestly very beautiful. Rating: 8/10

Thin White Lies - more bass yessss it sounds so good,, are these lyrics about depression? Ehhh not feeling this chorus at all, too much going on and it’s just not a bop and that’s my only criteria for liking songs lmaoo. This song is giving me Empty Wallets + Babylon vibes kind of? Which isn’t rly my favorite vibe in songs tbh it’s just not for me, I don’t think it’s a bad song, though. “I don’t really like me anymore” :((((( mood Rating: 6/10

Lonely Heart - That one two three was so hot ngl,,, ANOTHER acoustic song?? Okay okay interesting. WOAH WHEN THEY CAME IN together god I love that and this OH OH OH part sooo catchy yesss okay also smth I’ve noticed 5sos doing a lot: quiet beginning (or quiet verses) and loud/bop-y choruses… that’s like half the album look me in the eyes and tell me I’m wrong !! It’s the equivalent of YB being mostly normal guitar verses and then instrumental pre-choruses lmao at least this I like a lot more WOAH THAT BRIDGE???????? WHO IS SINGING THAT IS THAT MICHAEL? I literally don’t recognize whose voice that is has it been that long since I heard his voice am I tripping?? But either way that was really cool. The song overall was pretty? Plain but not at all bad and it’ll definitely grow on me with more listens. Rating: 7/10

High - last song im so sad ahhh oof that sound it sounded like Michael? And it was umm very ear orgasmic lmao weird to put two songs that start like that one after the other tho but whatever. Woah the way Luke sang “highly” was so angelic !!! This is very acoustic-y too, but it seems like it’s truly mostly the same vibe throughout. Oof Calum’s harmonies sound so good. I also like the background “Ah”s this song sounds very angelic and pretty. I really like the way he sings the lyrics like “I hope you think of me high… think of me highly” and the part after that kind of mirrors that line. Not a huge fan of the lyric saying your friends just want you to yourself oof friends don’t like imma be honest that line was kinda cringy lmaoo But this song was very pretty, though honestly I doubt I’ll listen to it much or remember it just cause slow songs aren’t my cup of tea, but I can really appreciate the song for what it is and it was enjoyable to listen to. Rating: 8/10

Unrelated: I like that the album isn’t crazy long like every other album of theirs. I much prefer concentrating on 12 great songs than making 16-20 and then inevitably them hating/ignoring a few of them cause they’re like,, way worse than the rest of the album

Average rating: Okay technically 7.1/10 BUT if you take out Easier, then it’s a solid 7.5/10

I liked a lot of the songs and I’m sure I’ll like them even more with more listens, but the only ones I really LOVED were Red Desert and No Shame. It’s honestly a fantastic album, I just don’t think it fits my personal vibe. I’m very proud of the boys!! I really think it’s some of their best work. (Besides Easier,,, she can choke 💀💀)

“Your mom isn’t going to make us dance during thanksgiving is she?” Austin asked, hands placed on his girlfriends hips as All about you by Mcfly played softly in the distance. A favorite past time of theirs had become dancing as of late, whether it was in their kitchen’s apartment or in the fairy light lit gazebo outside his parent’s LA house. (which they were currently dancing in). Life had been blissful for Austin these past few months living with Daisy. It’s all he could have ever imagined life being with his soulmate. He was happy and content. The only thing that was worrying him was Thanksgiving and Christmas. They were bg holidays that were important to both of them. Austin and Daisy had made plans to spend both holidays with both their families. It also meant that his entire family was going to meet Daisy for the first time which was going to be interesting to say the least knowing his oldest siblings. “My parents might knowing them. Or my siblings would.” @aurorarose

7, 16, 24, 34, G

doing these for Cade!

7. What triggers nostalgia for them, most often? Do they enjoy that feeling?

Being with family, more than anything. Cade is majorly family orientated, and he needs to have some kind of connection with his siblings wherever he goes. Just talking to them over vids or comm lines isn’t going to trigger nostalgia, but it’s when they’re all together in person that Cade kind of gets that hit.

Does he enjoy it? Not at first. At first it’s just a constant reminder that they’ve lost something irreplaceable, something that changed every one of them in some ways for the worst (himself and Lachlan, particularly) and he gets a little bitter about what they could’ve been if Elysium had never happened. It takes a long time for Cade to grow out of that mindset, and honestly, it doesn’t really change to something positive until he has a family of his own. Then it feels a lot less like longing for something he doesn’t have, and it feels more like he’s allowed to be happy with what he’s got.

16. What makes their stomach turn? 

Bones. Cracking , breaking or clicking. Just.... no.

If he broke a bone, he’d probably hurl. I’m pretty sure he’s done that, actually... it’s great fun being an N7.

24. Is sex something that they’re comfortable speaking about? To whom? 

Yeah, Cade’s not shy about the topic. He’s pretty comfortable talking about sex to people he’d consider friends, but there’s definitely levels of the topic, like, he would not be detailing much for someone like Joker who’s a friend but not really a close friend, whereas with someone like Ash he’d share the deets. Unreservedly. With a glass of wine and a shitty romcom playing in the bg. Ash knows waaaay too much by this point, I imagine.

Obviously I’d say the person he’s most comfortable talking with would be Scott, but like, neither of them are really hush-hush about it. They’d probably tell you shit if you asked. Generally, Cade’s just like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ “it’s not a secret that i’m boning this guy, what are you so curious about????”

34. How hard is it for them to shake a sense of guilt? 

Not particularly. Cade’s hard enough on himself with his family, so he lets a lot of other things slide.

If you’re thinking in terms of Torfan - Cade felt like it was necessary, and he understands that the people he sent to their deaths were all soldiers. No soldier signs up under false pretenses. That’s his attitude towards it all. As for the batarians, he doesn’t have much sympathy for them given what they did to Elysium.

He doesn’t feel guilty for the stuff he did with the 10th Street Reds, because without that red sand, without that brutal knowledge of underground circuits and what goes on in the shadows, Cade knows he would’ve been killed long before he made it out of there.

He doesn’t feel guilty for destroying the Alpha relay, because it’s not on him that nobody was prepared for the Reapers. It’s not his fault. He wasn’t the one who forced that hand. He was just the instrument they happened to use. Essentially, he’s just the weapon, and someone else pulled the trigger.

That’s not to say that Cade doesn’t see his actions as, yk, debatable, he just knows that he wouldn’t do anything any differently if he had to do it again. You can’t feel guilty for something you wouldn’t change, even if you had the power to.

Honestly? The only thing Cade ever felt guilty for was deliberately overdosing while under house arrest. That was a point of desperation he should never have gotten to, and it upsets him more because it was something that deeply hurt his family and Scott. That’s not something he’ll forgive himself for.

G) What trait of theirs bothers you the most? 

His inability to stay quiet or chill out. Because that’s a trait I share with him, and I annoy myself with it :’)

It’s deeply frustrating to have to talk, or do something, all the time. It’s absolute hell when you’re in a place where you feel like you can’t. And then, you get annoyed at yourself because why can’t you just be okay with quiet? Why can’t you be okay with not doing anything? But that restlessness is still there, and it winds you up to a point where you start pushing the boundaries of some people to get a rise out of them and it’s really shitty. It annoys me, and it annoys him.

Double Standards

There are two parallel situations I’ve been thinking about for quite some time: the two babygates and solo Harry vs. solo Zayn. * ** 

Babygates 

*** I find it so interesting that the same people who ripped apart all the inconsistencies with bg 1 are those who look at bg 2 and are like, yep, sounds plausible to me.

Both babygates follow the exact same formula of either The Sun or Dailymail revealing the exclusive relationship, a way too early pregnancy announcement, a father that is seemingly detached from it, and none of the band members participating in it. 

The only difference is in one, you have a fame hungry family and a faked pregnancy. In the other, you have a fame hungry woman and a real pregnancy. In fact, the formula of a fake relationship between Cheryl and Liam was so obvious that everyone mocked it. No one believed it. But suddenly, the minute we figured out Cheryl was actually pregnant, people were like, oh, I guess that means Liam’s the father.

What??

What??

And this is where the double standards set in.

In Louis’ situation, I read numerous times how, “Louis is a 24 yr, famous artist, in the biggest band, just about to start his solo career. There would be no way that he’d risk all of that to have a kid.”

But, what? Liam would? Liam, who actually has solo music coming (at the time of bg 1, Louis didn’t have solo plans) is going to be promoting his music, touring, focusing on his career - he would risk all of that to have a kid? A kid he’s apparently very committed to, but at the same time won’t even be around given the promotion of his solo career.

Let’s also not forget that Liam and Cheryl had been ‘dating’ for a few months when the pregnancy rumours started swirling. Liam who had just gotten out of a ‘long term relationship’ just jumped into another with a woman multiple years older, and not be married, no actual commitment, but be like cool, yeah, let’s have a kid.

In fact, if you look at the situations, the story that Louis had a one night stand and got a random pregnant, is actually more plausible than Liam dating Cheryl for a few months and deciding to father her child and commit his life to her.

So, it begs the question, why does the fandom believe that Louis would be too smart to get himself in such a situation, but Liam wouldn’t?

(Also the fact that Briana clearly wasn’t pregnant, yet Cheryl clearly was – that doesn’t count as a reason to believe bg 2. Because IVF is a thing.)

 Solo Harry vs. Solo Zayn

This one has been irking me for a long time. In fact, ever since Harry outright said that he was the one who came up with the hiatus in 2014, yet for some random reason, Zayn was the one who left first?

I’ve seen a lot of people using solo Harry promo as evidence that look he LOVES One Direction. He dedicated an entire segment of his movie to the boys. He talks to his boys all the time. He’s a true 1D stan.

Yes, I’m aware that a lot of this is in retaliation to the perpetual rumours that Harry hated being in the band. But it’s interesting that the smallest examples of 1D love are raised as gospel.

Where as for Zayn:

A wall in his house:

So why the discrepancy?

(I know that the Twitter fight between Zouis and the #realmusic left a horrible taste in everyone’s mouth. I also know at that time (when I actually wasn’t privy to the I heart Zayn side of the fandom), I had laughed at all of it and been like, lawls, they expect us to believe this twitter fight? They expect us to believe that Zayn’s actually tweeting that shit?

Imagine my surprise when, oh hey, people actually believed it!

Isn’t it interesting that we shouldn’t believe everything that print Harry says? Isn’t it interesting that we shouldn’t believe everything that SM Louis says/ does? Isn’t it interesting that we should believe that the boys are in some ridiculous contract that would create a fake baby and fake relationships? That this contract is so ruthless that they wouldn’t let Niall take time off his knee surgery, didn’t care how they were working underage boys to the ground, all in hopes of some money.

But wait.

How come people do believe the shit that print Zayn says? How come people do believe the shit that Zayn tweets? How come people do think that this contract and big, bad, Simon Cowell suddenly grew a heart when he looked at Zayn and realised he was unhappy making music?

Like, oh poor Harry and Louis they want to be together, but if they do, my profits will go down so I will force them apart. Poor Niall, he needs some time to fix his knee, but if he does, that means cancelled shows, my profits will go down, so I won’t let him get the proper medical attention he needs. Poor boys, they’re so tired, they barely sleep, they’re constantly working, but if I allow them to rest, my profits will go down, so I’ll force them to keep going. Oh poor Zayn, this music is definitely not what he likes, I’ve already forced him into four albums, and if he leaves, he’s sure to take a chunk of the Asian market, so my profits will go down***, so I’ll force him to – oh actually, never mind. I’ll actually let him leave.

I’m sorry, what? Do people actually look at these situations and go, yeah that makes complete sense??)

I find this interesting because there are so many times when Zayn and Harry have said the exact same thing, how they are making music that is truly theirs, how they’re finally getting to the sound that they want to listen to. Yet one is praised for staying true to himself (despite some controversial songs) and the other is despised for making music he enjoys.

What was the point of this? To say that it doesn’t matter if one of the boys aren’t your faves. You don’t have to love Liam as much as you love Louis. You don’t have to love, heck, even tolerate Zayn as much as you tolerate Harry. But you should at least extend the same level of analysis and critical thinking to the band as a whole.

When you are quick to judge other people for believing a het!Harry narrative, or a Harry hates 1D narrative, or a het!dad!Louis narrative, and tell them to look at the facts, think critically, think logically, use your goddman brain, yet refuse to do the same for other members – I’m sorry but your double standards are showing.

*This is mainly the discrepancies in how people perceive each situation. I don’t know if it’s because some people either just don’t want to look into things enough, or if they genuinely believe one situation over the other. Or that people just don’t care enough about Liam and Zayn.

**This isn’t referring to people who believe everything 1DHQ says, hook, line, and sinker. At least they’re extending their beliefs equally across all boys. This is referring to those who pride themselves as being analytical and seeing the truth about certain situations, but refuse to apply that same level of thinking to others. It’s about those people who only look at certain situations and then believe 1DHQ narrative for others.

***I am intentionally ignoring the boys’ sexuality when discussing this, because I read multiple times that you don’t need to know Louis’ sexuality to dispel bg. So I’m going with that.

****A quick Google search shows that Four performed better than MITAM did.
