i can't move past Louis' "A message to you Liam if you’re listening" and Zayn's "Liam, I have found myself talking out loud to you, hoping you can hear me" because there was STILL SO MUCH left unsaid.

They were just normal guys, but terrible, terrible dancers.

with every passing hour i get more angry. and part of that anger is really selfish. yes the industry killed liam and it fractured a family and it stole a lifelong friend from people etc. all of that comes first obviously because i didn’t know liam but my god. he played such an integral part in defining my teenage years and the industry killed a part of my childhood. i can’t ever look back at one direction photos or videos or listen to their music without knowing that liam is dead. he is part of the reason i met my bestest friends in the whole world and he’s dead now because of a system that was supposed to protect him. and i do feel childish selfish anger about it because now an entire decade+ of my life is altered. i’m angry on liam’s behalf but i’m also angry for all the versions of me who thought i’d have one direction until i’m old and grey

Everyday I’m hoping that all the shit flung Liam’s way won’t turn him into something he’s not. Believe me when I say that there’s nothing worse than when somebody who cares too much stops caring— once they do, there’s no turning back. I advise y'all to start treating the boy like he treats people instead of trying to destroy one of the few sources of positivity we have in this bloody fandom.

do y’all remember in this interview when Liam mentally checked out to lay flat on the floor and started singing My Humps by Black Eyed Peas out loud to himself and none of the boys found it odd? me too

not to be too sappy but idek what i would’ve done if i didn’t have a space to talk openly about all of this with those who truly understand it. it’s one thing to talk to distant friends or family members about this passing, but it’s another to talk with a community who just understands without any explanation or judgement. we’re all just wading around this fandom with each other— those names i haven’t seen pop up in ages— trying to process whatever we’re trying to process and giving virtual hugs and sending love and making edits and posting encouraging words. fandom is so powerful. community is so powerful. i hope i never ever forget that. because it’s always been here for me in ways that no one else besides those who are here or been here understands.

just fortunate for all of you. no one gets this place like y’all get this place. and that’s special.
