Niall Horan Warns Fans Against 'Saying Anything They Want' To Celebrities Online
This is so entirely true. Since this is a ongoing issue right now within the 5SOS fandom. Niall is right, celebs are people to and they also have feelings and are normal people just with a abnormal type of job. Feel free to like and repost this.

check in tag 👍
my fave @heterophobiclarry tagged me!
why did you choose your url?
Because I have too many fandoms to pick a specific url and I’m very indecisive so I couldn’t settle
any side blog?    
Technically this is my side blog but I have more personal freedom on here so I use this one more often    
most popular post?
A link to the iconic Danny Pudi “Larry I’m on Ducktales” moment I posted when Larry died
number of mutuals?
10, including my other blog
how many people do you follow?
324
how many followers do you have?
152
how long have you been on tumblr?
Since 2012/2013 (original/first blog) (I started this one in October 2020)
why did you start using tumblr?
5sos were doing a giveaway contest of some kind and you needed a tumblr to enter so I asked my mom if I could enter the contest and she said yes
do you have a queue tag?
Nope
why did you choose your icon? and your header?
I chose my icon because I needed something different and it kinda goes with my header color-wise. I chose my header because I had just watched the Given movie and that frame is fucking hilarious
have you ever made a shitpost?
I don’t think so
how do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?
Some of them I reblog because they’re decent, but most I skip past
do you have a crush on a mutual?
Nah
which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?
Idk I’m mutual with a decently popular Merlin blog, a big JATP blog, and idk how much this counts because the fandom’s kinda dead but I’m also mutuals with a House of Anubis blog that seems pretty popular
have you had a fight/ argument with another blog? who won?
Idk if this was a fight but I unintentionally started some WestAllen discourse (I think it’s nasty bc they’re siblings) and a pro-WA blog started shitting on me that I was wrong and wouldn’t acknowledge the factual images I posted to disprove their thinking. Idk who won bc my notifications stopped working so I didn’t see that they replied to me and by the time I did it was like 2 days later and I felt weird starting it up again
do you like ask games?
Yes even though no one ever asks me anything
do you like tag games?
Yes even though I’m rarely tagged in anything (and when I am I take so fucking long to do it lol)
how much time a day do you spend here?
Depends on my day. Sometimes I’m on here all day, sometimes I only reblog like 3 posts

wildflower pt4 - calum hood
a/n: this is just gonna be snippets of their lives from now on. hopefully u like karla and calum as much as i do!
summary: after a nasty breakup, Karla Rivera finds herself working as one of the new producers/songwriter for 5SOS. She had no intention to fall in love right now, but one conversation struck a chord with her. In between producing a smashing album and writing hit singles, Karla finds herself entangled in the arms of a man who she never thought she’d end up with.
Tumblr media
He stands in front of a white door, almost similar to the one at the beach house. He’s biting his bottom lip, feet bouncing as he waits in front of the door with a bouquet of dahlias - her favourite flowers, in his hand. He hears her boots hit the ground as she rushes to the door, having gotten home a few minutes before he arrived. The door swings open and hits the wall with all the excitement flowing through her and they both grin - so wide that they physically feel their cheeks hurt. Karla is in his arms before he could even comprehend and she was pulling him into her apartment by the neck. They kiss, deep and loving, sparks flying across the room. Calum doesn’t even remember the bouquet of flowers that he was holding, now pressed to her back as he holds her tight in his arms.
“I fucking missed you.”
“I fucking missed you too.” He peels her away from him, finally handing the flowers to her. She takes a whiff and then leaves it on the counter before smothering him in kisses. He basks in the attention, feeling every inch of her body mould in to his - like two perfect puzzle pieces. He then remembers the song he had waited the entire week to play to her, wanting nothing more than to see her reaction in person. He pushes her off suddenly and she’s taken aback, almost hitting her hip against the counter.
“Oh I have something to play for you!” Calum says almost too excitedly. Karla opens two beer bottles as he sets himself on the kitchen counter, pressing play on his phone.
She hears the intro with the beautiful harmony and her ears perk up, she raises her brow at Calum who had the proudest look on his face.
I hear you callin' out my name
I love the sound, I love the taste
And I can see it in your face
You've got a side you can't explain
Karla grins when she hears his voice, bopping along to the 80s style music. When they get to the chorus her face turns a bright shade of pink, knowing what the exact words mean. Sure Calum insists it was up for interpretation but anyone could tell it was about her.
“So I’m your wildflower huh?”
“Was it that obvious?”
“Maybe…” She places herself in between his legs, and when Calum leans down for a kiss, she turns to her cheek just to get him riled up.
“Oh you seriously wanna be a tease, Rivera?”
“Try me, Hood!” Karla abandons her beer and bolts to her room, Calum following closely behind.
They somehow end up on the couch dressed in comfy clothes (Calum borrows her brothers sweats, though it was a little too short but he didn’t mind), with take out boxes strewn all over the table. It reminded them of the first night they met but better, now that they were alone with each other. There’s a romcom playing on TV but the pair couldn’t be bothered, their attention only on each other. He feels so attached to her, like she’s become apart of his life and then he starts to worry. The comfortable silence between them slowly turning uncomfortable as he’s left with his thoughts. He thinks about tour and how he’s going to be apart from her for long periods of time. Then he overthinks their relationship and how she would think of leaving him when things get rough. Calum doesn’t notice his hand dropping from her waist and his brows furrowing. But of course she does, she always has and always will. Karla knows about his habit of getting inside his own head too much, hell it happened twice already and they’ve only been together for less than a month. She’s patient, so patient that the rest of the boys think she’s a god sent when she spends almost two hours on the phone with him the second day she left the beach house, just to assure him that she would stay no matter what.
“You’re in there again.” She says, poking his forehead. It makes his face scrunch up and she giggles softly at him.
“I am” He admits it this time, knowing that she was right. Karla kisses his cheek and runs her fingers along his torso. She remembers how he said her touch brings him back to reality, reminds him that she’s still there. So she makes a deliberate effort to touch him, to have that physical connection. Calum closes his eyes and focuses on the contact of their skin, and he throws those thoughts out of his mind. He pecks the crown of her head and she knows he’s trying.
“Always gonna be here.” She reminds him, and he softly thanks the heavens above for creating a blessing like Karla Rivera.
-
“You nervous, petal?” Calum squeezes Karla’s hand as they make the short walk to Ashton’s place. It was the first time she was meeting the boys since the beach house, and this time with their girlfriends as well. From what Karla knows, the girls have known each other for years and are close as fuck. So to say she was nervous stepping into their group was the biggest understatement of the year. She gives Calum a tight lipped smile and nothing else, but he knows her, the anxiety was written on her forehead.
“The girls will love you, trust me. If the boys like you, I don’t see why their girlfriends wouldn’t.” They arrived at Ashton’s and let themselves through the gates. The rest of the couples had just arrived as well, all mingling with one another. When they notice Calum and Karla, all the boys cheered and clapped, teasing Calum as much as they could. Sierra was the first to approach Karla, offering her a big warm hug.
“You must be Karla!”
“And you must be Sierra.” She returns the hug, then proceeds to introduce herself to KayKay and Crystal. They were warm and inviting, and all four of them fell into conversation easily. The girls got to know Karla better, and even asks her to join them for girls night on Friday. They talk for what must have been three hours before all their boyfriends were beginning to get needy due to the lack of attention. Calum wraps his arm around her waist protectively, and traces her skin up and down while she was talking to KayKay about skin care or some topic he was totally disinterested in. She stops his hand from squeezing her side, which only sends KayKay into a fit of giggles.
“Calum Thomas Hood, I am trying to have a conversation here.” She scolds and he pouts at her, crossing his arms and sinking back into the couch.
They call it a night at around 1AM, and Calum was quick to pull his girl out the door. She shakes her head as he practically drags her behind him, until they’re out of sight from the house and he pulls her into his arms immediately.
“You’re such a needy boy huh?” She scratches the back of his neck as they both stand in each others arms in the middle of the street.
“I’m never bringing you out again. Only want your attention on me.”
-
Calum paces the room for the hundredth time, and Karla thinks the tiles on the floor are starting to thin out. He’s nervous and rightfully so, they were releasing wildflower today, along with the music video, and he also wants to tell the world about his girlfriend. Not that the fans didn’t already suspect anything, Karla was often pictured out with the boys, but more recently she was seen having lunch alone with Calum and that sent the fandom into a frenzy. They’ve managed to avoid the questions and rumours, but Calum wants to show his girl off to the world, and he feels that wildflower was the right chance.
“Babe, that tile on the ground is going to pop off if you keep pacing.” He pauses, looks at the floor underneath his feet and back at her before he sighs. Karla gets off the love seat and approaches Calum, cupping his face in her hands. She smooches him on the lips, making a faint smile appear on his face.
“All better?” He nods, then changes his mind quickly.
“But do you think-“
“No I’m not thinking.” She looks at him with sympathy, the worry lines prominent on his forehead, “Stop thinking, gorgeous. It’ll be fine, the song is amazing, and the video even better! You have nothing to worry about.”
“What about you?”
“What about me?” Karla questions, she’s making him a hot tea to calm his nerves.
“Are you not afraid of the hate?”
“Baby,” she hands him the pink mug which he accepts gratefully, “I’ve been pictured with more male artists in my life, speculations flying across the room like paper aeroplanes. My ex is Jonah Marias for goodness sake! I know what I’m getting myself into - a hot mess. But you’re worth every moment of it.”
Calum feels an overwhelming sense of relief from her words and he finally sits down with his tea. They wait for the release of the song, and soon the comments started rolling in after his post on Instagram.
@calumhood: This one’s for my wildflower. I hope you like it as much as I do xx
A picture of them from the beach house, the day after they announced their relationship to the boys. Calum’s face was pressed against hers, the smile on their faces couldn’t get any wider. Karla picks another picture, where Calum was grabbing her waist and threatening to throw her into the sea. She has Ashton to thank for catching such a moment. One last look at her caption, and she’s hitting post.
@karla_rivera: I guess I’m your favourite fantasy. Glad to be a part of this one, sweet pea <3

okay hello!! 2, 4, 11, 17, 18, 25, 31 xoxo bella
hello bella thank you for asking!  many questions and I can’t shut up so this one is under the cut
2. Why do you write fanfiction? Many reasons!  I’ve always loved writing since I was a little kid and fanfiction is a very low-pressure way to do that.  The characters and world are already there, I just get to play around with them.  Fanfiction is also very character-centric most of the time, and I really enjoy writing about moments between people rather than having to think out elaborate plots for Everything.  There’s also the benefit of getting immediate feedback and validation.  Fanfic is a great way for me personally to do one of my favorite hobbies and still share it with people, since writing something like a novel would require a lot more work, more formal publication, and be generally more pressure
4. Are there any writers that inspire you? mmmmmmmmmmmmm great question.  Honestly I’m not sure I would say there are other fic writers that inspire me, except maybe Helen?  I did start writing for 5sos because of her so yeah ms. @calumcest is an inspiration.  As far as novel authors then I really really love Maggie Stiefvater’s writing and I could say she inspires me stylistically.  Her figurative language is amazing and she writes really human characters that you can fall in love with but that still have flaws so I’m always trying to incorporate more of that into my writing
11. Who or what do you find yourself writing about most?  Michael lol.  He’s easy to write and for a while the vast majority of my fics were from his point of view.  As far as the what, I write a lot about healthy relationships.  A lot of times the relationships I write are almost an ideal.  It might not be realistic but it’s how I hope people love each other.  I also write about friendship I would say.  Just general love!  I write about love!!!
17. A trope you’ll never, ever write for. I’m not going to do a huge age gap or a significant power imbalance, nor have the endgame pairing be abusive.  I also will never do a fic with explicit smut.  Otherwise, I’m not going to count anything out because even nasty/problematic tropes can sometimes be twisted in a really thought-provoking way (even writing this down I kept thinking of stuff then having to backtrack because I either have written it or thought about it) (like I have done a fic with an abusive main pairing but then one of them dies and for me it was a character exploration rather than a pairing exploration)
18. Wildest fic you’ve ever written? the roylum fic lol.  It’s 1200 words of roy thinking and then like 300 words of dialogue. otherwise I feel like I have yet to do anything particularly wild
25. Have you ever daydreamed about side adventures/spin-offs from your fic? Tell us about them! I have a little bit for the off-screen ‘verse, mainly because I’m still developing the prequel in my head.  That’s also where the epilogue came from!  I think I’ve done that with puzzle pieces before as well but nothing too specific there, and sometimes I think about what college mashton and friends are up to.  Basically, if the series isn’t over, I’m thinking about it.  I don’t really do that with other fics I’ve written though, it’s mostly the in-development ones (like the circus school au)
31. Do you have any OCs? Tell us about them!  Well that would be Daisy and Louisa, my girls from Off-Screen!  Eventually they will figure out they like each other and start dating.  Daisy is a visual art major with a concentration in painting and Louisa is a nursing major.  They’re cute I like them.  I think all of my fic OCs are women actually because there are too many men as the focus in this fandom (that’s why I like to utilize Halsey so much, because I feel weird including the girlfriends most of the time but Halsey is a public figure and a friend).  Kori was a fun OC to introduce in the malum fake dating fic, as was the rest of Michael’s extended family.  I took some inspiration from my own extended family for that (Bill was partially based on one of my aunts, my grandpa used to rent a personal plane and fly himself and a kid or two down to see his mom, my grandparents used to play solitaire together).  In the mashton fake dating Alexis is just Alexis idk what to say about her except that I wanted another coworker and I wanted a woman.  I think that’s mainly it for my fic OCs????  I have some for novels/plays I haven’t written (Spencer!!! Teddy!!! Alvaro!!! Patricia!!! Wesley!!!  Arima!!! Jo!!!!) but otherwise I don’t think any of my current projects really require OCs

I just saw your tags on the "harry was oppressed" post. Might elaborate on that when you are not tired? How Zayn was oppressed? His relationship to ot4. Other celebrities? I love your thoughts!
*cracks knuckles* buckle your seat belts folks we’re in for a wild ride here lmao.
also for context *here* is the post this anon is referring to
I think to start off i should just make a little disclaimer, everything i am going to discuss will be based in my biases probably seeing as I am also a brown British Pakistani person who is Muslim. Zayn has been someone that especially when i was younger I looked up to and was very essential in my journey of learning to love and accept myself and my culture tbh. It’s cheesy as hell but it’s true and i think this is important to know before I go into this more because like I said i am definitely biased towards him. Another thing is that I’m just going to be discussing my personal opinions and also my memory is not very good so i will probably miss out a lot of other things that happened/could be discussed. please dont take this as anything more than just. my opinion.
A thing that really opened my eyes to racism and especially the racism in the 1d fandom was the day that zayn left. I dont think thats what the post above was about btw and ill go into that but i kind of just want to talk about this. The day he left was. a severe mess. Not only because it was obviously upsetting but because of all the bs that people were spouting about a situation that absolutely no one had any context on. the statement that was released on facebook gave us nothing. literally just stated that zayn was leaving the band and the accusations and hatred people were directing towards zayn when we didnt know what actually fucking happened (and still dont might i add) was disgusting. people accusing him of being selfish and how they hated him and why he had to ruin everything. Accusing him of using mental illness as an excuse and lying about it and so much more. i had unfollow more than half of the people i followed that day. it really opened my eyes to the fact that these were all thoughts and opinions people had underneath it all and zayn was fine as long as he was part of 1d and giving people what they wanted. which was essentially being the token in the group and once he wasnt providing that anymore? people turned and people turned fast.
i think its also important to point out the flip side of it and that was zayn stans saying that 1d were nothing without 1d etc. i want to talk about why this was different from ot4 stans hating zayn. of course it wasnt nice to see or hear EVERYONE arguing with each other. i hated it so much. but i think what people failed to realise was that when it comes to situations like this you need to look deeper and think about all the nuances of the situation. zayn stans being happy about zayn leaving the band and saying 1d was going to die i did not agree with. anyone who knew me then and knows me now knows that i am a 1d stan regardless (preferably ot5 but i supported 1d until the end even as a 4some) BUT these opinions were rooted in his mistreatment in the band and the racism he was having to face as a result of being in the band etc etc i apologise for not being a person who can better describe and explain this situation but hopefully you are getting the picture. when fans were hating on zayn. with no context with nothing. that was based on racism. point blank. the amount of tweets FROM 1D FANS talking about how he was leaving to join isis and how upset fans were gonna be vulnerable and join etc etc all this deplorable bs. and he had to deal with comments like that throughout his whole time with one direction and i imagine even now. 
Another thing id like to talk about is who zayn stans at least from my point of view usually were. For me i remember when i first got into the fandom i actively made the decision that i didnt want zayn to be my favourite because i didnt want to be a stereotype and this was a point in my life when i still tried to shun and push my culture down because i was ashamed of it. it was only as i slowly saw that zayn was considered as cool and hot and everyone else liked him that i kind of understood that maybe. being brown was alright and it was something cool and that maybe i was cool. it sounds fucked up and honestly i dont even know if i want to be admitting this so adamantly but argh if it helps someone understand then maybe its worth it. (mortifying ordeal of being known eh?) anyways i noticed as i engaged more in fandom and looked for more diversity, more fans like me, majority of non white fans were also... zayn stans. and honestly it makes sense because we all tended to flock towards the closest diversity we could find it seems. im not saying that there werent white zayn stans and that the other boys didnt have non white stans but i just wanted to point out this trend. so when you also take this into account and the fact that on the day zayn left it was majorly... white stans who were criticizing zayn it puts it in perspective for you. majority of fans who still like and support zayn are also not white.
there is a lot more to do with fans but hopefully thats enough of an insight and you can understand the kind of vibes that were present during 1ds prime and what not only zayn had to go through but also as a result the racism we ended up having to deal with as well tbh.
now!!!... something i dont really like talking about lol so this will probably be short but the other boys. so as far as i can remember liams always been kind to zayn since hes left (no surprise there <3 also please correct me if im wrong), niall was kind of indifferent/didnt say anything really, and then there was louis and harry *awkward smile*. hahaha. from my memory i remember when asked about what the most difficult thing was about zayn leaving harry said ‘the paperwork’ which was *awkward smile* and he also kicked that monkey mask/pinata? i cant remember with naughty boys face on it and honestly im sure theres more but his overall reaction to zayn leaving was kind of not caring and maybe being slightly nasty which :) with louis there was the massive twitter fight which literally tears my soul in half so lets not go into that haha and honestly other things where it maybe seemed like he was upset with zayn leaving as well. honestly i am a bit in two minds about these reactions because at the end of the day we dont know what occurred behind the scenes and we probably never will as much as we can speculate or whatever. not to mention that this 10th anniversary it seems maybe everyones on good terms which, who knows really im going to try be optimistic. i think whats important to note about heir reactions is that we dont know anything about their situations but the problem was really how fans reacted tbh (btw i forgot to mention earlier this is about basically everything except for harry and the nb thing. that is inexcusable). the boys reactions were understandable but the problem is that fans of course vicariously are influenced by the boy they stan so when one of them acted a certain way of course that ended up reflecting in fandom and resulted in more racism etc. 
another thing with zayn was that there were many files leaked with like promo or whatever basically describing what kind of role the boys would take on/ their image etc. and of course all the other boys got things like bubbly/funny/charming etc and zayns descriptors? moody, mysterious, dark horse etc etc like from the inception of 1d zayn has been victim to racist stereotypes being pushed on him. and i think this is where harry comes in because of course the image pushed onto him was also extremely harmful and i definitely dont think we should not talk about that but often you'll see that... thats all that is talked about because people are uncomfortable admitting racism and talking about it. 
When i mentioned other celebrities my point was basically just that while ive only talked about zayn in one direction this... is so present among any and every fandom. 5sos, Little Mix, Fifth Harmony... any fandom you can think of, i promise you it is there. racism in fandom is a real thing and a big problem and honestly this is why i always say representation is so important. and when i say that i mean everywhere!!! because if I didnt seek out non white fans to follow then maybe i would’ve had a completely different perspective on all of this.
The thing is also that a lot of this is just stuff that we’ve been able to get our hands on and also fan analysis and theories etc. there is probably so much more to talk bout or go into or stuff we’ll never even know about. I’ve kind of had to make peace with the fact that with celebrities you just really don’t actually know anything about them.
I think i’ll end this here if there’s any more questions you have about anything feel free to ask! and again this is all just my opinion  but hopefully i’ve been able to help answer you <3 have a nice day and i hope youre hydrated!!!

I'm so sad because I shop both Evak and Malec and they're both great ships that have quality LGBTQ+ rep (Malec is interracial also) and both couples deal with mental illnesses. And ppl from both fandoms are being so mean and nasty to each other not seeing that they have more in common than not. It just makes me sad that this competition has made ppl so bitter. When I was a Klaine fan this happened every year too. I kinda hate EW for pinning these fans against each other.
I TOOOTALLY agree with you that the hate is so unnecessary and stupid and shows immature of the fans. I ship both of these couples too, Malec maybe even more but I am voting and promoting Evak because of the fact that it is so small show from Scandinavia and it has gotten so big without ANY promo and deserves all the attention it gets. This might be the only “award” they will be granted in US this year and they totally deserve to win it. When it comes to Malec and shadow hunters they have a privilege by being American show, promoted pretty much everywhere that is also on Netflix. It’s like screaming of winning (like Stydia did and somehow skam heated them?). This is the reason why I support SKAM and EVAK all the way on these polls. So I love both of these couples but when my faves are against each other I go to the side of those who I think deserve the award more and this time it is Evak.
I don’t think they are so similar though. Yes in both they (isak and Alec) are struggling with their sexuality when the another one is fine with it (Even and Magnus). But it’s hard to compare them as the shows are so different. However I think the mental health problems that evak face are bigger and more promoted than those that Malec has but Malec has the problem of family and the family pressure and what it can cause. I don’t know but I don’t see them as same outside the fact that they are both gay couples with struggling about sexuality.I also hate these “fan army” competitions because it doesn’t really matter how big the fandom is or how small it is to the artist/band/tv series or any another thing. I have been and I am part of many fandoms and my fave ones are the smallest ones because people doesn’t care then about the publicity, they respect the “celebrities” and everyone has great connection with them, all they want to do is to support the band/tv serie etc so it can grow. When it comes to point like 1D/5SOS/Teen Wolf/VD it just gets out of the hand and hate peaks in and I hate it. It’s not enews etc fault that the fans gets bitter and start to bash others, it’s the nature of people these days that we think that what we support and think is the only right way and every other way is wrong and has to be put down. I absolutely hate it but yeah, we live in this world now. 
Sorry this became sooo long 🙈
