#man this was so sweet #he cared about them so much #jesus

I’ve followed you for years on this site (one of the first accounts I ever followed. I’m 22 now and was a teen once) and for me it’s equally surreal to see you post about this. no one thought this day would come for a long, long time.

It genuinely never occurred to me that something like this would be the reason we came back. As a friend called out on Twitter, it's like that feeling of saying "It's good to see you" to someone at a funeral that you haven't seen in a long time. It is good to see you all. But this isn't how we wanted to see you all again. But here we are anyway.

Sending you - and all our followers and mutuals and friends - a huge hug. This community is still the best. We grew up together with our boys, and that's something so special.

#one direction #love you all so much #we're still feeling so much even days later #i imagine we will for a while #and for the time being its really comforting to be here among the people who really truly get it

me, bursting through your bedroom wall in a shower of dust: bUT that hug before they go onstage is what we’ve always wanted from One Direction, and that’s what makes them unsustainable as a phenomenon. What we always wanted from them was what they did not give to us intentionally

you: wh

me, briskly removing my shoes and shaking fragments of rubble out of them: One Direction is perhaps the first band to exist entirely within the Panopticon, from the very beginning, and yet even that was not enough for us. Can you imagine how difficult it would become to hold onto a “self” when what people want most from you are the moments of your life that specifically are NOT FOR THEM? It wasn’t just what they DID, we wanted to know what they FELT, constantly. We demanded to know but we did not want to be TOLD. The knowledge could only be “authentic” if it was not meant for us

you: why are you in my house

me, climbing into your bed and pulling your blankets up to my chin: The endless “documentaries,” the social media – we had an unprecedented, and unprecedentedly intimate, degree of access to these people, and still what we valued most were secrets and accidents. What we wanted was their interiority, and when we could not have that we invented it. Wouldn’t you resent having to constantly be GRATEFUL for that grasping, rapacious love? I would

you: are you crying?

me: We wanted to love them by devouring them, and now we have nothing to eat but our own hearts. can you bring me a hot water bottle

#rave forever #a goddamn genius of our times #literally

Along with everything—thank you for grieving with me, little people in my phone. I mean it when I say that having everyone on here to share our loss with has made it less isolating. I love you all

#and I've missed you all so much too #we had some good times didn't we?#thank you for still being the compassionate community we always loved because other places on the internet are not this kind or gentle

i did not once ever have a full night’s sleep from 2013-2015. nothing new to say that hasn’t already been said but it was so fucking fun being a one direction fan while they were still releasing albums/touring. can’t even put it into words or describe it. u were constantly terrorized while also having the best time of ur life.

#a band of thieves in ripped up jeans got to rule the world

The last time a post was made to the one direction IG it was to celebrate their 10 year anniversary, 4 years later it’s to pay tribute to a band member… hard to believe 💔

What a feeling to be a king beside you somehow

#it's bittersweet to go on a deep dive of how much happiness 1D brought me #while mourning one of the people in a band that brought so much to my life #and also learning about how much harm he caused and the man he became being so different from the boy we loved #it's all hard #and we're sending you all love

#we miss you all too #and we're really heartbroken #sending everyone a hug because this is hard to process
