Why do they look like the cast of a 90s vampire tv show?
louis: the dreamboat who is the protagonist’s love interest. worryingly takes to vampire slaying very easily after he finds out in the first episode. he won’t stop making vampire-related jokes and puns, somehow becomes best friends with zayn, and is always rolling his eyes.
zayn: the vampire that found himself unwillingly a part of this mess of a squad. he’s old and he’s tired and he just wants to stay alive. hence, being one of the good guys. he doesn’t like to talk but when he does it’s to be deliberately cryptic, or painfully sarcastic. he can’t be too helpful to the vampire slayer, after all.
liam: the best friend of the protagonist. worries a lot, knows everything there is to know about vampire lore but sometimes gets his facts jumbled which makes for hilarious but scary blunders when they’re all fighting vampires. he has a catch phrase, and is crushing on zayn the vampire.
niall: another best friend, but this time he is blissfully unaware of everything. he thinks zayn is a quiet art major, that liam has so many mythology books because he was trying to impress an old girlfriend back in the day, and that louis makes all his jokes because he loves twilight. finds out the truth in a season finale, possibly becomes a vampire later in the series.
harry: the protagonist. complains about his hair getting vamp ash in it all the time, though he refuses to cut it. graceless but somehow it works - vampires never know where his body is going to be (and neither does harry). he has super strength, which he uses almost never. he pouts when louis forgets to tell his latest vampire pun, and often forgets to run after a vampire because he’s too concerned about their victim.

By the way one direction inspired an entire generation of young teens to become artists, readers, writers, musicians, animators. 14 year olds were hacking into security cameras. Do you genuinely understand how hard that is? I literally have a tech degree and i still view hacking as too complicated. 14 year olds were in literal stem to watch one direction buy a bottle of shampoo. They have genuinely altered the courses of so many people's lives in terms of careers and long term hobbies. It was never just the music. I literally started reading by reading fanfiction. I am now a very active reader of many genres. I got a fucking tech degree because i wanted to see how it was done. Like its so unbelievably crazy. And they were massively bullied by the media and the rest of the world. They were ridiculed by the music industry. They were the biggest boyband on the planet and the only one that went as global as they did and they had them parody their own song 3 seperate times. They were never nominated for grammys as a group. They were genuinely never taken seriously and they changed the courses of young womens lives.
Everyone in the replies and reblogs agreeing and proving my point makes me so warm. This is a sisterhood. This is girlhood. This is love. This is 5 boys who fought against the narrative very boldly in interviews and consistently stood up for their young female audience. Not once were we not thanked at award shows, not once did they allow us to be ridiculed by misogyny in interviewers questions. Time and time again they shut down that shit. This is countless women across the ENTIRE world that will forever remain bonded and connected by one central thing, their love for 5 boys. Countless women seeing it in lifelong dreams, in their hobbies, in their passion projects, in their careers. When they have a bad interaction and regress to a sad lonely 13 year old for a day who's listening to one direction on repeat.
Know this: there are countless women who feel the exact same way. We all have different stories and different skills gained, different cultures, different reasons for using the band as our sanctuary, but strip us down, and we are all the same.
This will forever remain a sisterhood. If you'd like to talk about literally anything, one direction or otherwise, please know you can always reach out to me. Even if we've never spoken. Love you all and hope you're doing okay.
Happy 18th birthday to this amazing human!!! He’s kind, creative, funny and has a tully unique perspective on pretty much everything. I can’t want to see what the world has in store for him, and what he has in store for us!
Just after sunset during the Minneapolis memorial for Liam, someone released five red heart balloons. As they rose up together, one balloon rose higher and faster while the other four seemed to hang back sending it off. To me, the moment felt like these lyrics
You will find me In places that we've never been For reasons we don't understand Walking in the wind
Liam may be gone, but we will continue to find him in many ways as we carry on his memory.
I keep having this one agonizing thought.
Unless you were really into British pop music-based television, the introduction to One Direction for almost everybody in the world was "What Makes You Beautiful" - and those opening lines, no matter how memed or overplayed they became during that nostalgic autumn of 2011 - are Liam's vocals.
Whether you ended up being a stan with posters all over your walls who cried in your middle school bathroom when Zayn left or you were someone that got swept up in pop culture hatred and called them annoying or overrated - that song was likely the first impression One Direction ever left on you.
That means Liam is the first thing the world ever heard of One Direction as a group, so for him to be the first thing to leave, truly permanently leave the world behind, makes the gaping hole feel that much larger.
He also had the last line of history. Who's sobbing? Just me?
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.
the fact that the first time zayn has been included in a 1d official sign off in almost 10 years was in a tribute to liam mourning his death… i havent known a moment of peace
Hey just a note about grief.
At some point, and for some of us it will be very soon while for others of us it will be a long time from now, you will start to feel like you want to listen to One Direction, or to Liam’s music, and simply enjoy it. You’ll watch This is Us or San Siro and you won’t be in mourning, you’ll be enjoying yourself. You will look at Liam and think only happy thoughts, and you will know that he is gone but in that moment it won’t hurt the same.
And you may, in that moment, feel supremely guilty about it.
I need you, when it happens, to take those feelings of guilt and let them go.
Liam, I am so certain of this, would not want you to feel guilty for not feeling sad. Liam, with his big heart and his joy and his happiness, would want you to take delight in what he made for you. I know and believe this with everything in me.
We have all suffered a deep loss that will change everything, it will change how we view our fandom time forever, to varying degrees. But someday, your heart will say, I want to let life in. And you should let it, when that happens.
Grief is a fickle thing, but some of us will approach a moment when we are tempted to take joy in Liam’s life, joy in what he has given us. Let yourself feel that joy, when it happens. Let Liam’s memory be a happy one when you can.
niallhoran: 🖤
why is everything with one direction always so shady? why these amazing boys always surrounded by untrustworthy people?
There's a lightning in your eyes I can't deny Then there's me inside a sinking boat, running out of time Without you I'll never make it out alive But I know, yes I know we'll be alright There's a devil in your smile, it's chasing me And every time I turn around it's only gaining speed There's a moment when you finally realize There's no way you can change the rolling tide But I know, yes I know that I'll be fine This time I'm ready to run (oh-oh) Escape from the city and follow the sun 'Cause I wanna be yours Don't you wanna be mine? I don't wanna get lost in the dark of the night This time I'm ready to run (oh-oh) Wherever you are is the place I belong 'Cause I wanna be free And I wanna be young I will never look back, now I'm ready to run I'm ready to run There's a future in my life I can't foresee Unless of course I stay on course And keep you next to me There will always be the kind that criticize But I know, yes I know we'll be alright This time I'm ready to run (oh-oh) Escape from the city and follow the sun 'Cause I wanna be yours Don't you wanna be mine? I don't wanna get lost in the dark of the night This time I'm ready to run (oh-oh) Wherever you are is the place I belong 'Cause I wanna be free And I wanna be young I will never look back, now I'm ready to run This time I'm ready to run (ready to run) I'd give everything that I got for your love This time I'm ready to run (oh-oh) Escape from the city and follow the sun 'Cause I wanna be yours Don't you wanna be mine? I don't wanna get lost in the dark of the night This time I'm ready to run (this time I'm ready to run) (oh-oh) Wherever you are is the place I belong 'Cause I wanna be free And I wanna be young I will never look back, now I'm ready to run Songwriters: Jamie Scott / John Henry Ryan / Julian Bunetta / Liam James Payne / Louis William Tomlinson
Damn if these lyrics don't hit hard tonight
what really gets me, after the initial shock, is the fact that what i remember as a group of bright eyed, over ambitious kids are now grown adults who are able to navigate the complexity of this situation.
we not only grew up with the boys, but we grew up with each other.
a lot of us have careers, families, a whole life far detached from the one we used to dedicate to a group of five boys (and their families, hairstylist, bodyguards… even a pigeon). and in one moment, simultaneously and instantly, all those memories came pouring and flooding back.
we grew up, but we never left
I brought my kids up on 1D - my choice, not theirs but they indulged me and it became our thing together. Forever Young was my favorite song from back in the Alphaville days. I collected versions to listen on repeat when I struggled to get back to writing. I found the 1D version after they lost TXF and that was it for me. Liam’s voice on the opening line just tugged me in and I slipped into the fandom and never left. It’s been 13 years and I am so grateful for all the music and the memories he and the boys made.
It was my family and 1D that helped pull me out of postpartum depression, that comforted me when my father died, and that helped me focus enough to write my books. We truly are the greatest team that the world has ever seen. Liam will always be a part of that team. Gone too soon but never forgotten. #foreveryoung #forevergrateful
💔💛 🇮🇪 💙 💚
I know it’s been 14 years and a million things since then but I want an inquest into the X factor. I want to know what was in place to protect the minors on the show, I want a report on the abuse and coercion and I want people to be held accountable.
1000%. katie waissel and rebecca ferguson's tweets sum it up well. Everyone involved around that show need to be investigated and there needs to be some concrete changes in how reality show contestants are handled and further protection and care in place for musicians/actors/performers from their labels/management.
I truly believe we wouldn't be needing to have this awful conversation right now had things had been managed differently from the very start.
wanted to add katie's tweet for reference, and because no one else can say it better than people that lived the same experiences
