MIND OF MINE

[fouryears-happilyfireproof]

1. Curly Liam and preppy Zayn getting a cuddle is equivalent of two puppies cuddling.

2. Liam staring at Zayn with hearts in his eyes in the early days.

3. How can you not love how Zayn just leans into Liam and trusts him to not let him fall?

4. Heart eyes Payne 2.0.

5. It’s not just Liam with the heart eyes though.

6. Is it wrong that we’re kind of jealous of Zayn getting to feel Liam up?

7. Zayn kissing Liam on the cheek is what our dreams are made of.

8. Cuteness overload indeed.

9. Ziam dancing like that makes us think of unspeakable things.

10. Can anyone else feel the sexual tension? No? Just us then.

11. Why did Harry have to move in the exact moment that Zayn and Liam turned to smile at each other?

12. We are so here for Zayn declaring his love for Liam.

13. Ziam showing us what they get up to in their “free time”.

14. What did we do to deserve this?

15. We’re sorry, but imagine them dancing like this at their wedding.

16. Zayn stating his claim over Liam’s heart and ahem, other parts.

17.He just can’t keep his hands off of Lima Bean, can he?

18. Liam carrying Zayn bridal style and knocking Harry to the floor is cute and funny at the same time. Also, look at Niall’s reaction.

19. We feel like we’re intruding on an intimate moment here.

20. We totally understand Zayn’s desire to kiss Liam and Liam’s reaction to it.

21. Our hearts are melting like ice cubes on a hot summers day.

22. Is Zayn even breathing?

23. Ah to be young and in love again.

24. If they were any closer they’d be one person.

25. And honestly, this is still too soon for us.

“And when my kids ask me, in the future, and I try to tell them to go to school, they can’t turn around and say to me, ‘F*** off, Dad, you were in a band!’ I can turn around and say, ‘Excuse me, I went back to school and got my degree’. So you definitely have to do your schoolwork!” - Zayn Malik for Culture Magazine

Sometimes small, personal acts have the potential to be radical: from selfie-taking, to eating whatever you like, to wearing clothes not designed for your gender. They might seem self-serving, trivial or even vain, but for some people, these can be liberating: little moments of rebellion in a society that encourages a specific set of contradictory behaviours. Zayn Malik shares fanart. From the comfort of his Twitter account (with its 17.4 million-strong following), he finds drawings of himself, made by his many fans, posts them, retweets them, and compliments them. Yes, it’s a small act, and one that could be considered pure vanity, the symptoms of a vague megalomania. But in many ways it’s also a generous one. Yes, arty illustrations of his latest topknot serve Zayn as another form of self-promotion, but in sharing this work, Zayn, of course, simultaneously promotes the artwork of his fans. As a boyband member, Zayn was always marketed as the “arty” one. The One Direction movie This Is Us is peppered with shots of him graffiting his walls, and any self-respecting fan will tell you that Zayn draws his own tattoos. He’s shared his own drawings on Twitter: it’s no surprise, then, that many fans have tried to reach out to him through artwork. In reaching out and responding back, Zayn is unusual for a young male artist. He shares customised Vans with captions like “You, my friend, are a genius,” and has even reportedly sent messages to some artists with comments like, “That’s an amazing picture – you should be proud of how talented you are.” Zayn’s fanbase is mainly comprised of young women and teenage girls: a demographic that are already discouraged from entering the art world, and often have their work dismissed as juvenile or flimsy when they do. On top of that, these artists are producing a drawings in a category that is even more thoroughly ridiculed: fanart. Zayn bucks the trend, and tells the young women who draw him that their work is valuable, and their talent meaningful. It’s not just fanart: Zayn also frequently retweets his fans’ jokes. It’s basic, but accepting that fandom can be a space for funny, clever, creative teenage girls to express themselves (rather than just an endless, mindless scream), is significant: it’s a fact that simply hasn’t occured to many male musicians and music writers. Intentionally or not, through this series of small exchanges, Zayn goes some way in altering the traditional power dynamic between artists and fan. Here, it is less a closed, one-way exchange where the artist gives and the fan silently receives, but has the potential to be an open, mutually beneficial, limitless cycle of artistic production.

“I’m incredibly disciplined. I realized I can push myself through situations I might not necessarily want to do, but can overcome by being in the moment. No matter what, I can smile and do whatever I got to do.”

HOLD. THE. PHONE.

With Zayn Malik’s recent Billboard interview getting fans excited and ruffling feathers in equal measure, we reckon we’ve had it CONFIRMED that the former One Direction singer has in fact shot his first solo music video.

When co-president and chief creator at Billboard, Janice Min, posted some juicy behind-the-scenes bits from Zayn’s shoot on her Instagram, fans got just a little bit excited.

Take a look at the evidence below…

On photographing #zaynmalik for Billboard: ‘It was hard to make the kid look bad. We shot this at night using minimal lighting. He was up for anything and even had ideas himself. He brought two neon signs that were in his music video - he wanted to incorporate them somehow into our shoot. I liked him a lot. He wasn’t trying to impress anybody.’ Thanks @millermobley @jenlaskiphotovideo @jennysargent_ for phenom work.“

Right, OK.

So not only was Zayn awesome and cool and easy to work with, but he even brought his own props - what a guy!

And the neon lights were the ones he used in his music vid. WAIT, WHAT?! This is news to literally everyone about a music video!

We’re unsettled by how casually she threw this vital piece of info out there, but it’s gotten everyone talking about when exactly Zayn will announce or even drop his new single.

WE CANNOT WAIT.
