#it's just... so hard to quantify in the same concrete manner as noel's acts of love...

[oacest]

your list of sweet things noel has done for liam is soooo cute, i'm sure somebody already asked u that but do u have the same list of things liam has done for noel?? <33

okay well... this is gonna sound Bad lol. but no, and it's p much impossible to compile such a specific list bc liam doesn't really work like that. not in the way noel does. liam's love language, if we want to think about it in those terms, is quality time. he is, in the best possible sense, a little animal who lives fully and completely in the moment, without the "artifice" or distraction of planning ahead, considering his actions, or making calculated efforts. [by which i don't mean he's INCAPABLE of doing those things, only that they don't come instinctively to him in the way they might to other people.] his method of showing/experiencing love is to exist with someone, soaking in and sharing presence, talking and drinking and having a laugh. he has surely said and done so many incredibly beautiful sweet things for noel over the years, most of which never got recorded, compliments and thoughtful observations and casual little acts of affection, but it's noteworthy that the things he has said on the record, as it were, are hugely centred around noel's music--aka the thing that's most important to noel in the entire world. if we're defining "doing something sweet" as some combination of: 1) making the other person feel happy/loved/appreciated 2) INTENDING to make the other person feel that way (regardless of success lol) then basically every time liam opened his mouth about noel('s music) over the past 30+ years counts, and the list would therefore still be impossible to compile due to sheer volume.

HOWEVER, here's a little honourable mentions category <3:
