““It is fascinating when a boy in a boy band does not do what he has been told, and in that regard Zayn Malik is a fascinating character. Half Pakistani, he’s the hot one, and the only gesture toward diversity in what is otherwise a lily-white band. He would—or will—be the breakout star, the one with a solo career. He’s also the only one capable of doing things with his voice that go beyond an above-average high-school musical theater performance. Zayn gets the soulful-ish, croony moments that Justin Timberlake got to sing for ’N Sync and he handles them nicely” (Observer.com) “The album doesn’t take any particular vocal risks, with the exception of Zayn Malik, who experiences a few breakout moments” (Teenink.com) “You can tell that Zayn Malik is straining to put his best vocals forward for this song. And like P!nk, Adam Lambert, and Kelly Clarkson herself have demonstrated, verging ever-so-close to the edge of your vocal power produces incredible results. Malik’s voice is perfectly toned for a song backed by dance music” (Huffingtonpost) “Likewise, the album features Zayn Malik’s sultry solos and long winded notes in songs like “Change My Mind” that can land a fangirl in cardiac arrest and leave a casual listener thoroughly impressed” (Newuniversity.org) “Zayn Malik has got the most searched-for male celebrity style online.The One Direction heartthrob, envied for his impressive quiff and snazzy dress sense, has knocked his fellow band mate Harry Styles off the top spot” (tv3) “Zayn is the sharpest edge of one direction. He’s the one you know will be investigating high fashion when the boy band turns to man. already you can see the experimentation with grooming, the mega hair, the interest in fit, cut and movement. He likes the limelight, it likes him and he’s always dressed for it. There’s no more sleek and deadly combination in a young pop turn” (Luke Day,GQ fashion director) “Yes, they put one of the band members in drag, and it wasn’t weirdly sexist or homophobic. In fact, he plays it straight. Zayn Malik, in the role of “Veronica”, is just as beautiful as a woman as he is as a man” (dailydot.com) “Zayn soon presented himself as the great voice behind the band, standing up considerably on the live stage” (The Advertiser) “Track 7 (Tell Me A Lie): There are only two words I can say to describe what made this song so fantastic; Zayn Malik. His solos, and some minor from Harry Styles, completely carry a song that could’ve been not so great to brilliant” (thesouthernnews.org) “Mr. Malik, who is of Pakistani descent on his father’s side, is the group’s only nonwhite member, and also the most flamboyant singer. Onstage he was also the most serious, a stoic amid imps — wearing his clothes a little more loosely and walking with more of a strut than his peppy bandmates” (The New York Times) “… What’s more interesting is everything Spurlock edited out… he doesn’t dare broach the idea that half-Pakistani heartthrob Zayn Malik deserves to take a second bow for being the world’s first Tiger Beat Muslim. (And a third bow for patiently enduring accusations that he’s a terrorist.) His story would make a fascinating documentary. Only this time, let Werner Herzog direct it” (LA Weekly) “Of the five, Harry Styles stands out for his Jaggeresque squints, as does Zayn Malik, whose features are so doe like and fine he could double for a young Audrey Hepburn” (NY daily news) “It’s hard not to notice that Zayn Malik seems to handle nearly all the most demanding vocal parts in concert, while also getting the least amount of face time amid the backstage hijinks. A retiring, heavily tattooed practicing Muslim who pursues graffiti art in his spare time, Malik gradually emerges as the most intriguing subject of the five, as well as the most underserved by the film’s function as a purely promotional product” (Variety.com) “I think Zayn is an incredibly good actor for a start and he’s got an amazing sense of humor and is one of the most lovely people you’ll ever meet, and I think people have the perception that he’s this sort of dark, moody character” (Ben Winston mtv.com) “Cowell has made a very smart move in moving the boys onto the big screen as soon as he has. Who knows how long the One Direction phenomenon will last, before Zayn does a Robbie” (itv) “People know that Zayn is a wonderful singer and that the guy is incredibly talented—but he’s a really great artist as well. He’s fantastically artistic. He’s got a graffiti studio in his house and that’s just how he unwinds. He has friends over and he listens to music and he paints and he hangs out. For him, there’s nothing more important than being home and being surrounded by people that he loves. There’s something really wonderful about that” (Morgan Spurlock, Teen Vogue)) “Zayn Malik appeared to be either the “shy” or possibly just “no-nonsense” member of the group, an attitude that caused him to mostly be forgotten on stage until his many vocal solos. But he surely saved up all his mojo for those moments: Malik has easily set himself apart by showing the most vocal talent. His solos ranged from soft falsettos to belting ending rifts that could compare to the R&B voices of Usher or Miguel” (utsandiego.com)”

what she says: i’m fine
what she means: i just want to know what happened to zarry that they went from zayn saying things like “i know the real you [harry]” and “is [harry] my rock? yeah” and harry always giving zayn a water bottle on stage or them dancing to jessie’s girl together or all the sexual tension with the candy thong and the flirting and kisspering on stage and the teasing or zayn calling harry sexy and harry saying that the thing he misses most about zayn is his eyes or complimenting zayn’s jawline or zayn tattooing harry’s ‘a’ on his inner elbow and zarry tattooing each other with the screws on their ankles when they were bored in a hotel room together… like what happened that they went from all that and more to zayn now saying “yeah harry and i never really talked” and harry making comments like “the paperwork” both trying to cover up their hurt and anger and bitterness and sadness at each other. how did they go from the top of the world and loving each other to the mess of angst and pain and hurt they are now where zayn ducks out of a grammy’s party early so he doesn’t see harry and grimmy is still referring to zayn as one of harry’s triggers…

a few reminders because i’m tired and angry
fandom is a hobby, not a form of activism
adult women aren’t inherently creepy for being in fandom and having hobbies apart from raising babies and doing taxes
the vast majority of people pushing back against the worrying trend of instigating harassment over fictional characters and relationships aren’t incest supporters or pedophiles, actually
liking a m/f ship doesn’t make someone a dirty heterosexual invading your space
preferring gay ships doesn’t make you ‘’woke’’ and good
no one owes you a disclaimer that they are a good person who recognizes that their favorite fictional villain’s actions are evil and that they don’t condone those actions irl
liking a fictional villain is in no way comparable to advocating abuse/murder/genocide/etc and you’re a fucking idiot if you believe that
just because a woman is attracted to a fictional villain doesn’t mean she’s promoting toxic relationships or going to end up in a toxic relationship. assuming women can’t tell fiction and reality apart stinks of internalized misogyny
some rando’s a/b/o fanfics have none of the level of influence that popular tv shows and movies spreading propaganda have
no one owes you a detailed description of their traumas and mental health problems
abusive relationships are not the same as enemies to lovers ships
y’all need to chill the fuck out over people, relationships, actions and events that don’t actually exist and learn how to enjoy and discuss them like normal people
fandom is a hobby, not a form of activism
feel free to add more
