#ziam blog

[zot3-flopped]

Zayn tried using Tinder? I guess the Ziams are already trying to explain why this isn't true! 😂😂😂

Ziam tweets are few and far between. I never see them.

[alarrytale]

When we saw him show off his O tattoo i was immediately thinking about Zayns Perrie tattoo and how i'm pretty sure he went to such great lenghts to sell it so he didn’t have to drag her around town as much. ///////

Wait so you think Perrie was PR too? Are you a Ziam

So are you a Gaylor? You think even Joe was a pr boyfriend?

Putting these two ask together to get all this out of the way.

Yes, i think Zerrie was pr, at least their relationship was used as pr for both. There was a contract or agreement in place. They may have had a situationship at some point (or not), but the engagement wasn't real and the break up was a bit too conveniently timed lol. It made it all pretty obvious in the end.

I'm not a Ziam. I've never cared enough to look into it properly. I've got my hands full with larry. If it turns out real i would love it and support it with all my heart.

In regards to TS. You really don't want me to answer questions about her. Let me tell you. It won't end well for either of us. I'm pretty sure the things i say will hurt you. I tolerate sw***ies, but don't bring it to my blog. Let's just all live in peace. I'll let you do your thing (without rolling my eyes too much) and you'll let me do mine (you can roll your eyes at me as much as you want).

[sleepyratsss]

who's the blonde guy? And why is the cat made of static??

[uss-freakin-enterprise]

one finished degree and shitty job later i’m revisiting my blog and all i have to say is… what the hell is this? am i old already?

[enchantedlandcoffee]

hi! Do you know any Ziam blogs?

Hi! Ooh I know of two Ziam blogs off the top of my head 😅 Maybe they could help you find some more as well?

@wemadethishome @hl-obsessed

[yaz-the-spaz]

something that enrages me is the fact that some larries have 'ot5' in their bio but don't even give a fuck about other boys and just use them for 'larry proofs'. they talk about how fake & shitty the pr narratives of louis/harry are, but when it comes to zayn/ liam especially they just completely believe those shitty narratives... like??? they act like louis & harry are the only ones suffering on this planet. they just choose to not see any of the patterns and act all entitled and hypocritical.

‼️‼️‼️

and niall too, who unfortunately gets ignored by both sides of the fandom a lot of the time when it comes to his stunty/pr situations

but anyways you summed it up perfectly nonnie! like just admit you're really only here for your two white bread faves and stop pretending like you're all for ot5 when you're not. if you don't really care about the others then nbd but just be honest and stop the games and all the pretense.

like take me for example, I'm clear in my bio that I'm mostly here for ziam but I still love & support larry & niall, and I think my blog reflects that cause while I may post things from time to time to show love & support for them too they're just not necessarily a main feature/focus of my blog and I don't get why that's so hard for others to do like if you/your blog is allegedly ot5 then be about it and show it and if you're not then just be honest that you're really only here for hl

Long ramble post. [1D]

I’m feeling nostalgic, overanalysing shit, and bored on a Thursday night with nothing to do. You can read this or skip over it, especially if you disagree, I’m not looking for drama. This will probably be messy and incoherent with 0 structure. For those of you who weren’t there during the 1D era, this may be confusing, particularly if you weren’t there during the shit storm that was 2015/16. Again, feel free to skip this, as it will be long and probably won't make sense, but this is my blog so you don’t necessarily have to agree with me. Before I go into this I feel like I need to clarify, I am proud of all 5 boys and their solo careers, I support them all wholeheartedly, and my saying I miss OT5 doesn’t mean I don’t. some things are facts stated by the boys others are merely a speculation or my own deduction from what has been implied or reading between the lines, just to put that out there. Bear in mind I am a Ziam blog, Liam and Zayn have always been my focal point, and always will be and I also have a Louis [& slight Larry] bias so, do what you will with that information. Basically feel free to skip!

It was so good to see Zayn in an interview after so long [I can't lie it's so weird hearing people commenting on his talking voice as something new and unusual], but hopefully, he’ll actually get better promo for this upcoming album, I’m super excited either way, his music is rarely short of anything but a masterpiece. But there’s a line in Zayn’s recent podcast which stuck out to me.

Personally, I found this intriguing, because at least to me, I feel as though it explains quite a few things. Particularly regarding Zouiam [Zayn, Louis and Liam], I’m not saying it didn’t apply to Niall or Harry but, I feel like it provides some sort of perspective on things others have speculated on, and also some things I have speculated on. Again, this is merely a speculation on my part, you don’t have to agree [scrolling is very easy]. I will not claim to know as much as I may have known about all 5 of them as I did 8 years ago, admittedly, though I support most of the boys through listening to their music, I don’t pay much attention beyond that to anyone other than Zayn, Liam and sometimes Louis, this isn’t to say I don’t like Niall, I enjoy his music or Harry, I have always been a Ziam/ Zouiam account and have always stuck to them, and as solo artists, I prefer their music, even during their time as a band. [As I’m sure many have a preference for the other boys. I don’t see an issue with it unless it is purposefully disrespectful or hateful to others.]

I know a lot of people are stuck on the line of how after ‘5 years together they all got sick of one another’, which is understandable and perhaps almost inevitable. [Personally, as someone with a sibling I definitely understand the sentiment] I don’t see any malice or drama in it, it would naturally happen to anyone after so many years of constantly being together, with barely any breaks and performing together non-stop for almost 5 years. It would catch up to even the most patient of people, especially considering how they were literally teenagers/ young adults the whole time. Nothing he said in that interview was hateful at all.

Also not to dismiss his line about how he said "I completely selfishly wanted to be the first person to go and make my own record." with this, whilst I’m not saying it’s untrue because it could be true that that's what happened. But I can’t deny its a little confusing because of the number of times the story of his reasoning for leaving the band has been changed throughout the years, initially, it started as him citing stress and saying he wanted to be a ‘normal 22-year-old’, then it was that he said there was ‘never any room for me to experiment creatively’ made sense as it was rumoured that his writing had been snubbed on Four and it could possibly be a mixture of all the reasons combined. But my point is we have been given many different reasons, but we will probably never know the full truth, so at this point, it's anyone’s guess as to what the actual reasoning was.

Of course, there is no doubt that behind the scenes of the entire One Direction era was a complete shit show, as has been stated/ hinted at by most if not all members at this point in some way, shape or form. So we can only begin to imagine the stress and pressure they were constantly put through. There is a lot we don’t know about that time, and probably never will. Some things are perhaps even traumatic for the boys who had to go through it, all we can do is speculate and be as supportive as possible as fans. 

I mean I feel like this trauma has presented itself in different ways with each member, perhaps in ways we will never know, Zayn himself has stated that we could never understand that time as it is something only they would get. 

In terms of image and what they show; Niall is quiet, unproblematic and as far as I’m aware he seems pretty much like, other than his music and tours, he keeps to himself. Harry from my impression, is a loudly quiet person, by this I mean, he comes across as loud as though he divulges a lot, people may claim he is the one who people have the most knowledge of, which is true to an extent. But in terms of his personal life, there are limitations, understandable of course, but it seems to me we only know what we are shown and the rest is left to be read between the lines. 

Louis, I feel as though we learn more about him through his music, his private life is fairly private, other than what he talks about and what we are shown, [side note: not everything that we are shown is necessarily how it is/true, this applies to all 5 boys] Louis is also quite an interesting case, we saw him get progressively quieter as time went on, especially in comparison to how he was in 2010/11, [many fans who believe in Larry attribute this to him being pushed into the closet and having to hide his more ‘flamboyant nature’] or it could be a simple case of all the stress and difficult life events taking its toll, or even [I think it's likely] a combination of all of this. Either way, it has been disheartening to witness.

Zayn has always been the most misunderstood I think. As Zayn himself said, they were all given personas and that has stuck with them from their time in the band, even until this present day I would say, [I wish some would consider this in Liam's case but that's for another post]. If you saw Zayn from 2010/11 he wasn’t particularly ‘mysterious’ or such, in fact, he was quite boisterous and funny if my memory serves me correctly, but again If the management wanted them to have a certain persona they were going to make sure it stuck. Zayn has always kept his private life exactly that, private. Typically in the case of his relationships [I would say this applies to some of Liam's also] but the main times we would hear about Zayn's relationships is if it was to make Zayn out to be a bad guy or to benefit the woman he was dating at the time through PR or some way as such, which is quite telling in itself.

Liam, again, people would think Liam is quite public and we know a lot about him but if you pay close attention, it's not the case at all. We don't know anything other than what we are told by the press or what we see. This is the case for all of them but as we know, from recent videos that Liam has done, there are a lot of other factors at play and a lot of distortion of stories and such that happens that we will never truly understand, we can only look out for it.  [another side note: IMO Liam is the full package he’s got the vocal range, the lyrical range, the melodies the dance moves, the fashion but he got so sabotaged and that pisses me off so much.]  Liam had always been the spokesperson for One Direction whilst in the band. Some people, particularly some groups of ‘fans’ or newer fans think that all his talking about 1D is him ‘trying too hard’ or whatever else to bash him. But the truth is, if you look closer, he never really stopped being the spokesperson for the band. He speaks on all of their solo endeavours, all of their achievements, indulges the nostalgic fans and is the one who most openly shows his support, he still holds the role of the spokesperson, just in a different manner. 

At a point you would seldom hear them talk about their One Direction days, unless you are the spokesperson... [it has become more frequent now], which is understandable as they are now Solo artists and perhaps wanting away from that image, but it is also quite curious in a way. But that is best left for another ramble. However, up until recently, I feel like the boys who have spoken the most about the band have been, in a sense, allocated to speak more on the topic than others [Personally I link this to the Politics comment, I’ll explain a little later on] But I find it interesting as to the different reactions we get from certain groups about each member when they do speak about their time in One Direction. Typically, Harry and Niall are met with positive reactions, with a few exceptions of course. Zayn sits in between, some of it gets regarded with nostalgia, other reactions are positive and hopeful and then the outright negativity too. Louis again sits in the middle. Liam however, you do of course get nostalgia and of course positive reactions from his fans and some OT5 fans. However, this is severely outweighed by the negativity he receives for it from *certain* ‘fans’ and some newer fans and just general people who like to jump on the hate bandwagon [side note: my god I miss 2013/2014 1D Twitter].

I’m not sure how many remember ‘Weed Gate’, how this was in a way at the time ‘damaging’ to the clean image they had and how much shit it was speculated to have caused behind the scenes, involving Zayn and Louis. 

Louis and Zayn take a video doing weed in a car in one of the Peru (where weed isn’t illegal) on tour, there started some articles that make it sound like Zayn was sick or addicted to drugs. I feel like this was also a big player in how things turned out, Zayn took most of the heat from this and from our end it looked like no one did a thing to help. [We don't know what happened BTS]. Particularly interesting from this headline was the reiterating of the ‘squeaky clean image’, not long after this there were articles about 1D not getting along that came out of nowhere, particularly about how Harry was really angry with them and such. Even more interestingly disgustingly, Zayn took on most of the heat from this despite Louis also being in the video. 

Not long after this, Zayn missed some promo interviews and the album release in Orlando because of 'illness’, they get asked on the Today show if it’s actually because of drugs [entirely inappropriate] Liam, [looking pissed] reiterated it was a stomach bug. it would also be poignant to point out that Zayn looked very unwell at the time [I would think this would be regarding the eating disorder he previously mentioned] but many thought and press stated it as being related to drugs. At the time he was also, as he did throughout his time in the band, until this very day in fact, received disgusting prejudice and hate based on his religion and ethnicity. 

To touch lightly on the politics comment: obviously, we won't know the full extent. But if one were to speculate on the matter; we know certain people had been trying to pinch Harry since pretty early on in the band, so it would make sense that some of the comments Zayn made about the contracts make a lot of sense, I feel like it also links well with what Louis said about Harry calling the Hiatus. 

‘Certain people didn’t want to sign contracts,’ This line is so vague, but at the same time, I feel like it could be linked to a number of things. It could have been Harry wanting to leave to go solo. If you believe in Larry and Ziam it could have been a harsher contract regarding keeping them hidden with more shit attached. It could have been regarding the music they make, ridiculous NDA’s or any number of things, the speculation could be endless. However, it further reiterates the point that we can never understand fully what was at play behind the scenes, as much as we would like. But one thing we did see was how the boys went from being seemingly happy, excited and relatively carefree to burdened, exhausted and jaded which is somewhat self-explanatory [fuck 1DHQ]. I was going to add a bit about their images regarding the politics but I believe that is best left for another post.

If you think the boys are free/ ever have been, I’m sorry to burst your bubble but I doubt that has ever been the case, be that within the band or as solo artists. Feel free to check out this post if you require more insight, https://www.tumblr.com/yaz-the-spaz/662781923367747584?source=share. I don't think we could ever understand, nor will we ever know the extent of what the boys were/ have been put through. Hence why they all say they have a special bond because only they understand. I feel as though villainizing any particular member is very harmful, because at the end of the day at the time they were kids doing something so amazing that hadn't really been done on that scale before. What I do find gross is the fact that some refuse to speak up about the unnecessary hate certain groups give to other members [that again is another post entirely]. At the same time, it is important to remember whilst it might seem like other members have more freedom than others, which could be the case, it doesn't mean any of them are entirely free.

I’d say back to my point, but I wasn't particularly trying to make one in this post, this was simply an info/ speculative ramble, you don't have to agree with what has been said. But if you did read through, I’d love to, respectfully, of course, hear your thoughts, and opinions on everything. I will make posts on everything I’ve said requires its own post because I feel as though there is a lot to talk about on a number of topics so they will come in due time. 

At the end of the day, as Zayn [and Liam in the past] said; “You know, we’ve done crazy things with each other and that nobody else in the world will ever understand or have them. Experiences that we've shared.”

But yeah, all in all, it was good to hear Zayn talk about his chickens and describe himself as a chill, funny and loving guy because it's so much more true to him than being painted as mysterious and I love that for him.

[zot3-flopped]

A Liam stan has written a whole ass article about his supposed 'mistreatment'! Is this meant to make us sympathetic?! 😂😂😂

https://www.exposing-abuse-corruption-and-the-music-industry.com/1996318_liam-payne-and-the-hate-train

That is not an 'article', it's a post taken from a blog run by Larries. Here they are on the same blog praising Louis Floplinson:

More clichéd conspiracy nonsense here 👇 They're probably Ziams.

They definitely hate Harry and think he's only successful because of his management team and it should be Louis and Liam winning AOTY!

[justapayneaway]

Heyo! Hope you've been alright! This a bit random question and I don't know which 'ziam' blog to ask to but would you happen to know what 1D interview it was that Liam kept looking back at a drawn picture of Zayn saying how wonderful it is? I feel like I hallucinated it and I don't know who to ask for help XD

Hi :)

Hmm this seems very familiar to me, but I actually can't place it. I'm gonna post in the hopes that my ziam mutuals might know which moment this is.

Sorry that I couldn't help a lot!

[alarrytale]

The "fan" was unintentional LOL but I believe they were together at some point and for a long time, but maybe they're not now, maybe they are. And I believe Liam's last relationships were stunts, I believe he is bi or pan, just like Zayn. But I don't think about it too much, what matters to me is that they are happy, whether they are together or not. Zayn loves his daughter and loves being a father, that's as clear as day. Liam loves his son, he is beautiful like him and C decided to preserve his identity. Furthermore, I think that saying that the children are not theirs is to doubt the character of both of them, that is absurd, to think that they would be capable of bringing innocent children into the world just to prove something.

I feel like Zayn is happy, very happy, and that's what matters to me. He's single, doing what he wants without having to show it to anyone, and happy with his first tour.

Liam continues to be sabotaged by his team, he was going to release the album last year or early this year and was blocked - he is starting from scratch. A very hard-working boy, but who needs a break, needs to be truly happy and have a good team. That he knows how to recognize his talent in his work, promote it in the way it deserves, and take better care of his career. He doesn't seem really happy right now.Someone needs to remind his team that he is a singer, we love hearing about his life, but not like this. Not with him acting, They should be smarter and see that no matter what Liam does, people WILL attack him, and it would be better if he didn't show up so much so that doesn't happen, so as not to take everything he says out of context.

He's not happy this way, being boycotted, and I'm sad that we can't do anything about it. He deserves better.

I'm sorry for the long text and I'm sorry for the mistakes either, english is not my first language but im still trying LOL

Hi, anon!

You never have to apologise for your english! Not on this blog! If i don't understand you, i'll ask you to clarify, and i did. It was the "ziam fan" that was throwing me off, not your english!

Okay, so i get more where you're coming from now. I wouldn't consider you a ziam right now though if you're not convinced they're currently together, even though you're convinced it was true in the past. I haven't seen anyone who are convinced they're currently together think they're both fathers.

I agree with you that Zayn seems the happiest and most confident he's even been. On the other hand, Liam is really struggling mentally and being the most unhappy i have seen him ever. Every new video i see of him is more incoherent than the last. So i guess i can't picture them being together while they seem to be on polar opposite sides of life contentment, leading two different lives and are on different career paths. Zayn has found meaning, who he wants to be and what makes him happy. Liam is struggling with all that. I can't picture them together if they don't have the same lifegoals, agree on which lifestyle they want and which continent to live on.

Regardless, the most important thing is that they're both happy, and Zayn seems to be, but Liam i worry about constantly. I don't think Liam is being sabotaged at all, his music isn't selling so the label can't afford to put it out. They'll lose money. It's no ill will from his label. They're trying to breach out and get positive attention on him by him being a talent show judge, and he might endear himself through that. Because Liam needs image rehab in order to sell his music, and he isn't mentally ready to do that right now. It's hard to watch his attempts at fan engagement through his unhappy, manic and cringy ramblings. I think he needs to sort himself out before attempting to win over his people to his side again. The TV job might help position him to put out an album that will sell. So i don't think he's being sabotaged, it's just that they don't want to set him up to fail, because they can't afford that. And honestly, i don't think Liam's mental health can either.

[awesomefringey]

Hello Sabine! I have only recently (~half a year ago) joined this fandom, and I have a question regarding people around HL reacting to/speaking about Larries. From old posts I've seen, it used to happen a lot that their relatives or other people like Liam would speak really bad about Larries on SM, even way into the hiatus when they were not with Modest anymore. But ever since I joined, I have not seen one single interaction like that, but more rather things like Gemma's recent story, which seems like they are now even giving subtle hints (of course we don't know if it's meant like that). Do you have an estimate when it was that the Larrie thrashing stopped? Or can you give me a recommendation who on Tumblr would have documented stuff like this and would know? Thanks a lot!! :-)

Welcome to the hell hole, nonnie! 😄💜

I didn’t track all the times people have denied Larry or talked shit about Larries. But it’s fair to say over the course of 1D and beyond, Larries have always been an easy target.

Gemma called people/larries in the comment section of her IG ‘mental’ at some point because they kept flooding her posts about Larry proof. And last year, she debunked old tweets as fake. But I wouldn’t call either Larry denials per se. She just pushed back on Larries quite a bit especially when she was used to back up any theories, which is absolutely fair. See a wonderful and enlightening comment on her motivation here.

Of course, Zayn’s Larry/Ziam denial, and him accusing fans for forcing Larry to show no affection, which was back in 2015.

I remember Liam denying Larry when he was asked by a fan a few years back. I mean, what do people expect him to say? 🤦🏼‍♀️

And well, in 2017, Louis’ “there’s genuinely seriously obviously no truth to it” when asked about the Larry organisation and I couldn’t have asked for a better Larry denial. 😂

Maybe Lou Teasdale was the last one to cackle about Larries during a podcast episode she was invited to back in 2020. Her and Eleanor’s IG and snapchats were involved in a Larrie investigation after Louis’ and Harry’s voice could be heard in the background. I bet she’s never had that much interest in her account before but with the podcast she made sure, people were reminded that she was an idiot.

But beyond that - I don’t know… 🤔

@skepticalarrie @daisiesonafield-blog @twopoppies Do you have tags for Larry denials tags for this nonnie?

[twopoppies]

Hi Gina, I’ve read where some blogs have said that Zayn had a huge crush on Louis all through 1D days. Since you were around back then, do you think this is true? Ok to answer in tags if you don’t want to post this!

I think everyone had a bit of a crush on Louis in the early days. I think Louis and Zayn became close friends pretty quickly, and Harry seemed a bit jealous (although he seemed jealous of literally everyone back then). But I don’t know that I’d characterize Zayn as having “a big crush”. I mean, go ask Ziam stans and they’ll say he had a big crush on Liam at the same time.

[unfortunate17]

girl I used to follow you back in my 1D days. I was like 11-12, reading your ziam fics, and now I'm 22 and I woke up after a night of drinking and randomly thought about your blog, so I typed it into the search bar fully expecting you to be gone and found out that you're still here?! and you're still posting?!!!! and I just reread some of your fics! I was NAWT grown enough to understand them omg

omg girl hi let me tell you this blog was abandoned for years and then the pandemic happened and i was like you know what let me go back so I’ve been here since 😔

also dw I was like 13-14 writing those fics and I had NO business doing that either 😭😭

[theeliampayne]

Haniii, i'm trying to make some ziam manip especially for you - and for weeks now (i have few ideas in my head) every time i start i end up making something entirely different 😭 :(((((

i will make it and deliver to you some day i swear (i do hope it will be sooner than later) :(((

- Shay

(tired that still can't send asks from side blogs)

Ohh!!!!!! It's fine, Shay!! Take your time <33 I really appreciate it 🩵🩵

(They really should let you do that)

[yaz-the-spaz]

who knows when you will see/respond to this (lol ily).

someone sent an anonymous ask to a larry blog basically asking why they don’t seem to believe in/support ziam. there response was that they simply don’t pay attention to them and don’t believe there’s enough evidence to support it.

if you admit you don’t even try to pay attention, how would you even know that there’s less evidence compared to larry? there’s not.

then, they basically said “if zayn and liam want me to think they are in a relationship, they need to be more obvious in order to convince me.” babe, WHAT? so you think these (allegedly) closeted men are out here existing just to convince… you? again, how can they convince you if you refuse to pay attention? larries acting like this in 2024 is astounding but maybe i’m foolish for being surprised after over 10 years of this. sorry to bring this nonsense into your ask box.

Hey nonnie! Yeah sad to say I'm not at all surprised, like you said a lot of larries have been saying the same thing for over a decade so as far as I'm concerned same old shit but a different day and I just don't really gaf anymore when it comes to their lame ass excuses cause if in 14 years you still "haven't had time" to look into it (as a lot of them say) or somehow haven't even managed to see at least ONE major thing that should've at least a little made you 🧐 (like them both literally admitting they kissed, the whole paynt collection & the fact that it was exclusively released during pride month on its first run, the eyebrow slits, the 25 obsession, i don't mind, the cartier bracelets, the sus tattoos, the ziam account follows/mentions/likes, etc. like honestly what are you legit living under a rock like patrick fucking star?? cause wtf like how else do you miss these things??) and if you inexplicably miss (or "miss" aka ignore) all that and somehow still think they still need to "do more" to convince you then you're just willingly being obtuse at that point and I have no time or energy for ppl like that tbh

Like just say you don't care about anyone in 1d outside of your ship and go
