#ziscourse of the day

[1d-discourseoftheday]

Tues 19 Jan ‘21

With two Zayn lives behind us, fans were excited to think they'd gotten an idea of what to expect and settled in, ready for another late night/early morning live-- to no avail! The sun rose all around the world with no sign of Zayn, except an ad bit for the Harry Potter game thing (a video of him being like "I updated my avatar to show my new hair" with his hair from last month) and him demo-ing the NIL insta filter (it's a little video game!) We were told to expect a surprise today, remember, as of press time I remain unsurprised, but with us going on Zayn Standard Time for this promo one could argue that there are still like 13 hours left in today! Some zquad (pronounced zgwad as Zayn helpfully sounded out on the last live though tbh I think the time he spelled out how to pronounce it was funnier) were hopeful that today's live was delayed for zomething more exciting, and some justified his absence like so: technically the first ones were after midnight where he was, so if you go by what DATE they were done on, he's already done today's! I mean... I GUESS. Anyway, (Nobody is) Listening Parties were scheduled for today, the second of three days they'll happen on; one of today's already happened without any major excitement but the other is this evening sooo? Surpise me! The earlier one featured exclusive merch, a cool t-shirt which you can also get by tuning in tonight, and the Zaynbot in action ("are you excited?!" "who wants some airhorn?"). And for now, there is a playlist takeover on spotify (Pop and Play playstation playlist). 25 Zayn curated songs and a new picture (from an old photshoot) for the cover! Note that only the first 25 songs on the playlist are his picks though, not the ones below. And NIL was the most played album on spotify this weekend worldwide! Nice. I also am enjoying seeing pictures of the big promo posters in cities all over the world, very cool looking.

Don't Worry Darling resumed filming, and Harry Lambert said "isn’t it weird to think five or six years ago, something like that could cause such a stir?" about Harry's black and white floral suit and he means in the eras of fashion, but it hits hard when you think about Harry (Styles)' personal journey in that way too, doesn't it? We've come a long way, baby.

Hi um I wasnt on tumblr in November

What was cheesecakegate?

OH GOD OKAY ALRIGHT I AM PREPARED FOR THIS QUESTION!!

so on november 29th a post was going around about whether or not you liked cheesecake in the jatp fandom and it kind of spiraled out of control. there were pro cheesecake and anti cheesecake people, which essentially divided the fandom. before we knew it, people were making cheesecake memes, attacking other people for their cheesecake views, talking about what other characters thought about cheesecake, messaging the actors about their cheesecake opinions, etc. it was brutal out there.

there was also a cheesecake anon that would say cheesecake was trash and call blogs “mildly popular” (so if you see “mildly popular jatp blog” in anyone’s bios it’s 100% from cheesecake gate). you literally could not go in the jatp tag without seeing something about cheesecake and it was a time™️!! THEN it was later revealed that the person who started cheesecake gate was @lyra-pador through this post (it was so brave of her to come forward).

i believe madison and jadah both also commented on the fact that they like cheesecake, so that was definitely a win for the pro cheesecake people. but yeah! that was pretty much cheesecake gate! it was honestly one of the best days in the fandom and i think about the memes to this day

Here it is, the quiz no one asked for, but that kept me distracted from work! 

Not saying that this is a quiz i’m making… but uhhh, that’s exactly what I’m saying.

i feel like i missed something oh no why do ppl think owen has a tumblr bc id believe it but also why

bc like he hardly knows how to work instagram

People found a video from a while back of Owen saying he doesn’t have a Tumblr but he looked through some Tumblr stuff one day and he was all happy because it felt like this community had his back, and then in the live he did today with Jadah, he mentioned having to unzip the bottom half of his pants from the top for This Band is Back even though it was cold and everyone thought it meant he had seen ziscourse.

But also @conradconreg Owen not knowing how to work Instagram is another piece of evidence that you are not Owen

I know the whole thing is a joke but everyone is aware the Owen tumblr video is from like June and he was referring to like the old knight squad fandom right? So we’re safe 😅

Yes I’m pretty sure we all know that, haha! I think now it’s more coming from Owen talking about his shorts with the zippers, which is funny because ziscourse JUST happened on tumblr! Plus we all know jatp tumblr cannot go one day without being chaotic (love that for us).
