In another universe the boys weren’t overworked, in another universe the boys were protected from older women and the media. in another universe maybe zayn stayed. in another universe the boys reconciled. in another universe they remained brothers until they were old and gray. in another universe liam recovered and found peace.

Liam was planning a 2025 tour. That hurts my heart the most. He was making plans.

Checking in -

How is everyone doing? In particular, how are the Liam girls holding up out there?

Y'all, my algorithm is throwing Liam videos at me like there's no tomorrow. I'm still so fucking sad.

child stars dying young directly or indirectly as a result of fame-related trauma is just so especially sad. for me it’s the tragedy of how kids don’t really know what they’re signing up for when they ask to be famous, especially back in 2008. liam’s mistakes, addiction, and bad decisions, are all so inarguably tied into his career and the carelessness of the entertainment industry. the 31 year old man that just died is the same 16yo boy that was given drugs and alcohol to keep him quiet while he was being overworked and exploited. corey haim, river phoenix, judy garland, and so many more. you can think what you want about liam and have your own opinions, but don’t lose sight of the larger picture that he was a victim of.

I know the person that Liam became caused immense damage to people in his life, and I don't want to gloss over that.

I just can't help but wonder if going to see Niall in Buenos Aires was, in some weird way, the start of him trying to reach out to the boys for support in a time when he was so clearly struggling. Niall was always such an overwhelmingly positive presence in the band - If I was seeking solace, longing for a light in the darkness, I'd want to be with Niall. I know people were hating on Liam for taking photos with fans outside the venue, but all I saw in the videos was a person trying desperately to act normal when he was clearly under the influence. I want to believe that his interaction that night with Niall was pure and positive. I want to believe that Niall was a balm to his soul before his life was so tragically cut short.

I am so sad for Maya. I am so sad for Kate. I am so sad for Liam's mom, son, and family. I am so sad for the boys. But most of all, I'm sad for that adorable, floppy-haired 14 year old on the X Factor. I miss him. I ache for the man he will never get to become.

I am devastated that Liam died at such a low point in his life. I wanted to see him get better. I wanted to see him fix the hurt he caused and make amends. I wanted to see him find his way back to himself. But he will never have that chance now.

I'm absolutely devastated - I just went to see Niall's show, and it took me back to how much I loved all of them. I'm so sorry to see you go, Liam. My heart goes out to his family and all the fans who loved him. Fly high, angel.

Those 5 boys and the community around them held such a strong role in shaping me and knowing one of them is just... no more... I can't explain this feeling.
