Back to Ziami

It’s been 5 years since one of the most iconic ziam moment, and let’s go dive into it and relive those days again.

Feb 21, 2018 - Zayn is in Miami to film the ‘Let Me’ music video. He posted a lot of pictures from that city where he enjoys the Miami views.

Feb 22, 2018 - Liam arrived to Miami to film the ‘Familiar’ music video. He recorded the story in the car after his landing, and you can hear the male voice in the background that sounds pretty much like Zayn’s. if you listen carefully, you will notice that Liam increased the volume of his voice when Zayn started to talk.

Feb 23, 2018 - the day after Liam had arrived to the same place where Zayn was in, Zayn posted a selfie captioning it with a wink and a red heart (the red color has always represented Liam).

Feb 24, 2018 - Liam spent the day on the set of the ‘Familiar’ music video.

Feb 25, 2018 - Liam posted the video filmed on the balcony of his hotel room where he’s showing the view of the ocean and Miami Beach, accompanying it with his favorite 1d song ‘Once In A Lifetime’ (which has the line “You are by my side” that sounds pretty significant and like a hint considering that Zayn was literally by his side in that Miami hotel). In the video he showed two desserts on the table implying that he wasn’t alone that morning and that he had a romantic breakfast with Zayn. [Since Tumblr doesn’t allow to put more than one video to a post, so here’s the link where you can watch that video].

Feb 25, 2018 - In the same morning Liam posted a selfie and captioned it with “Lost my voice”. The previous day Liam filmed the music video and considering that there wasn’t much singing involved (mostly lip-syncing), and it was one song and not the whole show, it seems like he lost his voice because of someone who was there with him :)

Another important point - what if it’s not a selfie and someone (Zayn) took this picture laying next to Liam? Just look at the arm angle - it’s too low to take the selfie in such uncomfortable position unless someone took it for him.

Feb 26, 2018 - The day after Liam had left Miami, Zayn recorded the cover of “I Wanna Know’ by Joe where he changed the pronounce from “You” to “He” in the line ”You kiss my lips and then you take my breath away”. He also left out all parts that address a girl in the song.

Conclusion: Zayn and Liam spent together a mini-vacation in Miami (both were there for work reasons but turned it into a romantic holiday), and they didn’t even cover the fact that they were together - shared pics and videos from that city so people would know that they were both in the same place, Liam filmed two cakes on his hotel terrace to his favorite 1d song, Zayn posted a selfie with a red heart and then released a cover of the song where he put “He” instead of “You”. And it all happened amidst the breakup rumours of z*gi and ch*riam.

Ziami was truly wild.

[haunted-the-vagabond]

WHO IS THIS GUY?

Yo!

My name's Ryan, aka HAUNTED THE VAGABOND, aka HAUNTED, aka HAUNT, aka some other nickname that I have gained over the year, like... Fademan Haunt or something, call me what you like!

I'm a 28-year-old, asexual icon who goes by he/him pronouns, and I am a Canadian originally from Saskatchewan, but currently living in British Columbia.

I work as a Radio DJ by day, and I do a bunch of other stuff on the side, like streaming, podcasting, and being a pro wrestling announcer!

Big music guy, beginning to collect vinyl, hoping to get a sick setup soon. I do have a heavy leaning towards rock, metal, prog, punk, and hardcore, but I fuck with a lot of shit, and I'm always hunting for more stuff to listen to, open to all suggestions!

FIVE ALBUMS TO GET TO KNOW ME:

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here: Essential Floyd, everyone talks about Dark Side or The Wall, but Wish You Were Here is where it's at. Best album to put on and get lost in it

Deftones - Koi No Yokan: Top to bottom there isn't a song that isn't a bop or a banger on KNY. From "Swerve City" to "Tempest" to "Entombed", all heat

Pharoah Sanders - Pharoah: If you have a Sunday where you gotta do a bunch of housework, maybe it's raining, put on Pharoah, it's something you'll remember forever

Jessie Ware - What's Your Pleasure?: I'm not a Fantano fan by any stretch, but I gotta thank him for putting me on Jessie Ware. A modern disco album that fucks this hard? That's rare as hell!

Death Grips - Powers That B: "Black Quarterback" is my Fuck Shit Up song, "On GP" makes me emotional, great album

SPORTS

Big sports guy, I'll watch damn near anything from Hockey to Darts, if there is competition, I'm in there.

TEAMS/ATHLETES I SUPPORT:

Hockey: Vancouver Canucks (Main), Winnipeg Jets, Ottawa Senators, Philadelphia Flyers, PWHL Minnesota, Prince George Cougars (WHL)

Football: Saskatchewan Roughriders (CFL), Seattle Seahawks (NFL)

Baseball: Toronto Blue Jays (Main), LA Dodgers, St. Louis Cardinals

Basketball: San Antonio Spurs (Main), Toronto Raptors, Saskatchewan Rattlers (CEBL)

Soccer: Machester United (EPL), Vancouver Whitecaps FC (MLS)

College Sports: Michigan Wolverines (NCAA), Saskatchewan Huskies (USPORTS)

Lacross: Saskatchewan Rush

Combat Sports: Israel Adesanya (UFC), Tyson Fury (Boxing), Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston (AEW), CM Punk, Kevin Owens, and Sami Zayn (WWE)

Golf: Tiger Woods

Video Games

I like them.

FIVE GAMES TO GET TO KNOW ME:

VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartending Action: Easily my favorite VN, entertaining characters, engaging world, I wanna get lost in it.

Halo 3: ODST: What if the cast of Firefly were in Halo and listened to a lot of Jazz? Yeah, peak.

Transistor: This is a beautiful game, it has a wonderful story and, a lovely soundtrack, a must-play if you love Supergiant games.

Hotline Miami: Soundtracks go a long way to elevate a game, and Hotline Miami is no different. Hotline Miami also boasts some real fast-paced, addictive gameplay. #TonyTime

Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne: Gameplay of a John Woo film fantastic noir story, Max Payne is one of the great characters in the medium.

Movies

I watch them.

FIVE MOVIES TO GET TO KNOW ME:

Clerks: Kevin Smith is one of my favorite directors, and Clerks is my all-time favorite comedy.

The Raid 2: If you loved the Raid, then you owe it to yourself to watch the Raid 2, it's just the Raid with a story, and it's fantastic!

Rocky: There are a lot of Rocky films, counting Creed as well, but nothing tops the first Rocky movie, the best top-to-bottom film in the series.

Porco Rosso: Everyone loves Spirited Away or Howl's Moving Castle, and they are right to do some, Miyazaki is one of the GOATs for a reason. But in my eyes, his best film is Porco Rosso. The landscape shots showcase his love of the Adriatic and Italy, the characters are lovely, and the dub, oh my goodness Michael Keaton as Porco is *chef's kiss*

Treasure Planet: Peak Disney movie, hyper fixated on it as a kid, and still love it to this day.

Anime

They alright.

FIVE ANIMES TO GET TO KNOW ME:

BECK Mongolian Chop Squad: This is the quintessential HAUNT anime. Very down-to-earth, simple but engaging story about someone finding their place in the world. In Beck's case, it's Koiyuki becoming this amazing singer/rhythm guitarist, and helping Beck become a premiere band in Japan.

Gurren Lagann: It's mother fuckin Gurren Lagann man, go watch it.

Steins;Gate: The group chat between me and some of my closest homies is called Future Gadget Labs NA, if that doesn't tell you how much this show brought me and my friends together, then I don't know what else to tell you. Never played the VN but the Anime was great!

Samurai Champloo: Life-changing anime, changed my whole perspective on music and my relationship to it. Helps that the show is GAS, with one of the hardest dubs out there.

Eden of the East: Just a straight up solid show with some good movies attached to it.

Fandom Shit

I don't really participate in a lot of Fandom discussion, I just will reblog stuff I like from my interest. An avid fan of D&D, Wrestling, Fighting Games, Hockey, Football, Anime, and a bunch of other crap I'm forgetting about.

So that's me, if you like what you see, hit me up!

ONCE IN A LIFETIME - ANALYSIS

This entire analysis because of Liam's love for this song in particular like he's said on multiple occasions.

1. Playlist of my life (see from 3:41)

2. Miami 2018

3. Weekly Wrap Up (see from 12:28)

4. Capital FM interview

There's a song called 'Once In A Lifetime', it's really not one of our biggest and we've never performed it live or anything like that but it just really holds a special place for me."

"It's more in the lyrics, you know, 'Once In A Lifetime', everything's just right, that moment when everything's just quite right."

In this interview he also said that he wrote the song , however he isn't credited on multiple platforms for the song.

I'm not gonna go into the whole "who wrote the song thing" because you can love/relate to a song without writing it too.

Angays sticking to the lyrics because that makes you like a song right? And choosing a song like once in a lifetime which has the main idea of losing a lover and considering that zayn left the band around the same time made more of a impact on Liam , but that would depend upon Liam's way of thinking not mine.

I want you to also note that zayn does not have any solos in particular in this song , and yes maybe that's why liam finds it more close to him because his best friend love of his life isn't there and he needs something to connect it to him other than the whole meaning of the song - A possibility.

Intro - Liam

Once in a lifetime it’s just right

We made no mistakes

Not even a landslide or riptide

Could take it all away

He's talking about that moment when z was in the band and everything was just RIGHT, they didn't make mistakes as in they followed everything they had to and didn't exactly mess anything up in all the stunts or it could be that they lived in the moment , they loved each other right, everything was perfect or it could be a reference to zayn's line "saw the mistakes of up and down" from You and I (iconic ziam song) from 2013 Midnight Memories album. They saw the mistakes others made and avoided that in their own relationship. It could also be a reference to the "mistakes" larry made . The last 2 line talks about how indestructible their relationship is.

Somehow it feels like nothing has changed

Right now my heart is beating the same

Out loud someone’s calling my name

It sounds like you

This could be written in view of him leaving or probably liam reminisces the time z was with him . But he still feels that everything is the same and nothing has changed. When someone calls his name it sounds like z is calling him cuz he misses zayn a lot.

When I close my eyes

All the stars align

And you are by my side

You are by my side

This screams RIGHT NEXT TO YOU, LEEYUM. When liam closes his eyes everything he sees is perfect because z is right next to him . Usually when one says that stars are aligned it means that due to some sort of otherworldly intervention or luck that what you want will/has happened.

Once in a lifetime it's just right

That we are always safe

Not even the bad guys in the dark night

Could take it all away

This verse talks about how the "bad guys" aka sony/syco could never change what they have. Their love is indestructible. Together they will always be safe.

- Repeat pre chorus & chorus -

Outro - Liam

Once in a Lifetime you were mine

Once In a Lifetime liam had all of zayn but now they've lost a bit of each other to beards

I know that they're given which line who will sing but I'm sure liam made it his mission that he would sing the intro and outro !

I've considered zayn's departure as the timeline of liam's response(emotional) making it the reason why this song is so dear to him . He also said the song is poignant which in short means he's looking back to the time when he had had all of zee, where they were together at all times but now that isn't the case. Now they have their girlfriends beards to be with.

Once in a Lifetime is a lyrically beautiful song which reminds liam of the safety he felt in the band because he had the boys and the love of his life to keep him safe and loved.

Wed 13 Feb

X FACTOR (UK) CANCELED!

According to the Daily Star's "insider source" (ie probably the reporter making their hand talk like a puppet) The X Factor “has been 100% axed. The show is done.” Sadly this isn't exactly the truth, but damn! Liking this spin! There will be no 2019 season and possibly when the show returns in 2020 instead of open auditions for amateurs "celebrities... will be targeted by producers." Targeted is right, ugh. Additionally, "there will also be a ‘champions’ section... where past X Factor contestants... will appear" and if that doesn't strike an ominous chill down the spine... BUT! 2020 is a ways off AND past a certain ten year milestone. We don't KNOW that any 1D contracts will run out, but regardless a lot can happen between now and then and one contract that DOES run out before then is Syco's with ITV so we'll see if any of this really comes to pass. Anyway the most important thing is very clear- this is a huge blow to Simon's image and possibly his influence, and he may finally be on his way DOWN. The king is dead y'all, long live OUR king, and I think you know damn well I mean Louis Tomlinson.

EDIT: FUCK ME this, as it turns out, IS WRONG. I guess the weird format version is this year, and then after that is up in the air? I'M SORRY please disregard everything I said above except the part where Simon is going down and Louis will dance on his ashes I stand by that I'M SORRY I SPREAD BAD INFO.

In L.A., American Idol singer Catie Turner reports running into Harry in a recording studio, as in, Harry was there recording. She says she was so shocked to see him that she just glared, and he smiled tentatively at her, probably a bit confused. The L.A. Times meanwhile reports on Harry's L.A. house being on the market for more or less what he paid for it. Only seven million dollars! A bargain I'm sure.

And! A new Zayn Penshoppe video ad! 45 beautiful seconds of live action tropical model Zayn! Not so sure about the clothes they're selling but Zayn's face looks great, as do the sun and beaches tbh, I'd like to go to Miami too.

The paps got pics of Niall in West Hollywood in an Elton John shirt and of Liam arriving in NYC. He made it clear in the live that he planned to be back in London for the Brits in like a week and a half so some feel that's a lot of luggage, but you can't travel light AND be a fashion icon now can you? More to the point you may wonder why he is getting papped pushing his luggage through the terminal like a peasant, but he seems determined to stay in the public eye until he sews up this Brit win so I guess today's installment is luggage and a beanie.

[verseziam]

Lima lost his voice during the whole Miami thing ? What ? How don’t I know about this? Was it like an insta story or summat? Or did he perform ? And he had no voice ?

it’s an iconic time in ziam history. So basically both zayn and liam were publically in miami at the same time. Obviously there were no pics of them together but the fandom knew they were both in miami i believe liam even posted a video saying he was in miami. then liam posted a video of him showing the beach and clearly showing two deserts. but it was very odd because liam and zayn were acting like they wanted everyone to know they were both in miami together. so that’s kinda the summary then long story short. 

liam decides to post this glorious picture of him shirtless saying “LOST MY VOICE” like why announce to the world that you lost your voice while on a romantic vacation with your husband???? lmao

let's be honest we all know damn well he didn't just lose his voice for no reason.......so liam being the hoe we all know and love decided to out himself and say he lost his voice from sucking dick or screaming too much either way he lost his voice from ziam sex lol and that’s basically why ziami is such an iconic time because they were both so vocal about being in miami at the same time :)

From Elizabeth Hurley to Princess Diana: Gianni Versace’s Fashion Legacy in Pictures

July 15 marks the 20th anniversary of the death of Gianni Versace, the internationally renowned fashion designer who was murdered outside his Miami home.

Today, young fashion fans might be more likely to recognize his sister, Donatella, with her platinum blond hair and smoky black-lined eyes, who doesn’t shy away from red carpet appearances with pop stars like Lady Gaga.

But it is Gianni who is credited with creating some of the 1990s’ most iconic fashion moments as well as pioneering high-impact celebrity marketing. That is, Gianni Versace created the supermodel.

While Olivier Rousteing may stack his Balmain fashion shows today with “it” girls like Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner and Joan Smalls, Gianni Versace did it more than two decades prior, immortalizing fashion’s first supermodel super-pack: Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, and Christy Turlington.

Gianni Versace’s legacy, of course, is about more than smart marketing and celebrity, even if millennials — many of whom were born after the designer’s death in 1997 — only know Versace as part of a Migos song or for a Zayn Malik collaboration.

In 2013, rap trio Migos released a song called “Versace,” which became a mega radio and club hit. This image, taken from the song’s music video, shows the artists wearing the boldly printed designs of the Versace fashion house. (Photo: MigosVEVO)

After Gianni Versace’s murder in 1997, Donatella took control of the brand’s creative direction. The 20-year anniversary of her brother’s death isn’t lost on her; she told the New York Times’ Style section that her most recent runway show was an homage to Gianni’s legacy.

But what legacy is that, exactly?

It’s not just about the Medusa head that Gianni Versace is credited with popularizing, emblazoned on the brand’s universally recognizable logo. (Despite his Italian heritage, Gianni was enthralled by stories of seduction in Greek mythology, as chronicled by a new Versace fashion exhibition at the National Archaeological Museum of Naples, which runs through September.)

Versace is sex. It’s provocation (some say it’s offensive). It’s bright colors and boldness and power, and it is baroque opulence, at least according to fashion critics.

To be sure, there are plenty of unknown designers who might’ve stood for the same, but Versace managed a perfect trifecta of celebrity, media, and sexuality. Vogue’s Anna Wintour said as much in a Nightline interview following his death: “Gianni stands for glamour and the Oscars and sexiness and power, and … something a little wicked. He didn’t believe in being boring.”

If Versace was repulsed by things you were obliged to wear, as he told Charlie Rose in a 1994 interview, he was certainly attracted to that which you were not supposed to wear, at least not in public. Indeed, the designer’s most impactful show, perhaps, was the Fall 1992 collection that “knocked down some fashion shibboleths and established some guides for the future. But the shimmering surface only lightly veiled a disturbing undertone,” according to the New York Times’ review. It was called Miss S&M, and as the name suggests, there was a lot of leather and bondage.

When Versace wasn’t busy challenging sartorial dictates, he was dressing Hollywood royalty and actual royalty. There was the iconic safety pin dress worn by Elizabeth Hurley (pictured as the lead image in this story) to the 1994 premiere of Four Weddings and a Funeral, solidifying her Hollywood A-lister status. But Hurley remained a fan of Versace beyond that, wearing the brand again to the 1995 Oscars.

While everyone from Claudia Schiffer to Donatella has been paying tribute to Gianni Versace via social media, below are a few more images of the late designer and his memorable looks.
