being a kid watching the spongebob movie and having no knowledge of why david hasselhoff would make a cameo in that film, nor who he is in general, and just radically accepting the fact that spongebob and patrick were saved by some shirtless speedboat dude with no context

In a never-before-published 2012 interview, Harry Styles and Niall Horan talk about the childhoods, the future of One Direction, and much more
In the spring of 2012, I spent a few entertaining days hanging out with the five young members of a British boy band who were just breaking big in the United States. The guys from One Direction were unjaded, unguarded, totally charming, and a puppy pile of optimism and energy. On April 8th, in a New York City hotel room, an 18-year-old Harry Styles and 16-year-old Niall Horan sat down with me for a joint interview, published here for the first time. (The reporting was intended for a Rolling Stone cover story that never ran.)
It was late morning, and they had both just rolled out of bed. Styles wore a hotel bathrobe; Horan, with braces still on his teeth, was in sweatpants, a T-shirt, and a Dallas Mavericks hat a fan had given him during a recent trip to Texas. The conversation was casual, full of laughs, and focused on their formative years.
What did you do at the gym last night?
Harry: One of our security guys, his friend’s over, he’s a personal trainer, so I was working with him, and he ripped me to shreds.
In 12 hours, you have to do Saturday Night Live. Are you ready?
Harry: Yeah, I think so. I think it’s going to be a fun day. It’s just really exciting, obviously. The show is so huge. For us to get the opportunity to be on it at all was just amazing, and to us, to be performing and just be involved with the show is amazing.
Have you seen whole episodes of it?
Harry: I’ve watched a lot of clips on YouTube. They don’t show it in the U.K.
Growing up, when did you realize you could sing or that you wanted to sing?
Harry: I sang in primary school, like the school productions, plays and stuff.
What was your first one?
Harry: The first one was…I was five, and there was a story about a mouse who lived in a church, and I was Barney, the mouse. I had to wear my sister’s tights, and a headband with ears on it, and I had to sing a song all by myself. I remember it was just like, whatever…in the second, I was Buzz Lightyear in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, so you know when they run and hide in the toy shop? Buzz Lightyear was in the toy shop, so they just created my character. The last one, I was in…you know Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat? I was the pharaoh, but I was an Elvis pharaoh.
Did you have a sense that this is what you wanted to do in your life?
Harry: I think in school, I was OK, I wasn’t a bad student. I think I just knew I wanted to entertain people and stuff. I was a bit of an attention-seeker at school.
Niall: Me, too. I just talked too much, sang too much.
@ post hiatus fans: what we’ve went through the past couple of days is exactly how every day felt back when the band was active. like the constant clowning, hitting post limit, insistent anger, widespread confusion, shady bullshit, cryptic behavior, lack of sleep/fearful of sleep, completely exhausted 24-7, anxiety through the roof, our brain leaking, and never-ending love........ every single day for 5 years these couple of days were reality. and i do not know how we did it night after night. we were bionic.

oh, and zouis resurrected by louis following zayn on instagram ! :’)
zayn has a mandala tattoo on his hand and it’s done in such a way that the bus 1 tattoo isn’t covered in any way. like it almost encircles the bus 1 tattoo, he could’ve easily covered it up since it’s already so faded but no he made sure it wasn’t covered and still clearly visible
he did this after his public fight with louis there was no reason to be this thoughtful about it he could’ve very easily have the mandala design cover part of the tattoo but no he didn’t let it. the care that went into that action the love !!!!
