FROM THE DINING TABLE YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS

[bihalien]

SOTT will forever be that bitch!!

[didhewinkback]

he’s also never going to acknowledge this or answer for it bc people will pay these prices and the shows will be sold out and he’s just never been more out of touch w reality in his life and sure it’s the azoff influence but he’s also a fully grown man in his 30s who is in full control of his career and wants to make a lot of money.

he can talk about togetherness all he wants but he wants a tour schedule that’s convenient for him & makes him a lot of money

nobel peace prize winner celebrating bombing their own country mannnn whatever what is peace anyways

[mskingbeann]

every time a country is invaded by the US under the excuse of “rescuing” its people, what’s left behind is either a cemetery or an open air asylum.

there isn’t a single case in history where the US actually saved a country from anything, what they did leave behind, consistently, were stolen resources, exploited land, and futures permanently scarred by military dictatorships.

what the US does in the middle east is widely known, what many people still don’t fully grasp is what they’ve done and continue to do in latin america.

they funded, trained, and supported military dictatorships across most of the region, and they infiltrated our cultures in a calculated, orchestrated way that still shapes us today.

to my LATAM stay strong cuz we’re going to need it in the years ahead.

Fucking bombing the capital of Venezuela in the middle of the night, America always manages to go lower and lower

[fuchsea]

heart is in complete shambles after looking at geoff payne looking at the memorial and thanking fans and paul higgins being there like no parent should ever have to bury their child this is truly heartbreaking. and paul being there is just so. god they really were all so close and formed genuine relationships with everyone during 1d and that clip in this is us where paul says he's like the boys' dad on tour and now he's about to go bring liam back to the uk. i just. this is truly the most heartbreaking thing ever

[yourdaysinthesun]

fans using their hands and bags to block paparazzi from photographing liam payne’s dad, who arrived at the scene of liam’s hotel.

there’s a lot that can be said about celebrity culture and all that but FANGIRLS MAKE SHIT HAPPEN

The worst part about Liam Payne dying is that people are posting about “the switch up is crazy”

Like no. He was an abuser and made horrible decisions, but nobody wanted him to die. He was getting hate for an INCREDIBLY valid reason, but we all recognized that he needed mental and physical help. He needed to go to rehab. He needed to get away from drugs and alcohol and improve upon himself away from the public. No one wanted him to die.

We’re not mourning the life of an abuser, we are mourning the part of him that we adored and looked up to for a massive part of our childhood/ teenage years. He was a huge part of how I was introduced to my love of music. And yes, he did horrible things and made horrible decisions and over the last few years has been anything but admirable, but none of us wanted this.

Maya didn’t want this. And everyone saying that it’s her fault can actually go burn in hell. She likely already blames herself enough. She likely already wishes she hadn’t spoken up about it out of the guilt that she likely feels. You guys commenting all over the socials about how this is her fault and “are you happy now?” Are actually horrible people.

A 7 year old boy just lost his father. A woman just lost her long term boyfriend. Two parents just lost their son. Several young children just lost their uncle. Show some fucking respect. Joking about it and hating on people who had nothing to do with what happened is not doing anything but twist the knife for the people who this has ACTUALLY effected.

[bihalien]

Jus saw a video of the fans trying to protect Liam’s dad from the paparazzi. We truly are one big family across the world. Glad Paul is there too

And the media is absolutely awful in any country.

[childweanedonpoison]

the worst part is that there is no closure. maya henry won’t have justice & now will be getting harassed for something she had no play in; liam won’t ever be able to get sober, be healthy and make amends; his family has lost a son that they had to see spiral out of control. and the industry that chews and exploits young people to get everything out of them only to spit them out as loose cannons when they’re adults will continue to thrive and produce entertainment

[pop-punklouis]

they were all brothers. they are all brothers.

no one, and i mean no one, will ever be able to understand those years and growing into adults in the bubble they were the way those five will. for five years, they saw each other more than they saw their own families. they became family. they share something so special that people nor circumstances will ever break— they shared their youth. they shared a flash of time together that shaped them from boys into men. and as much as we’ve talked about how integral liam was to our childhoods and growth through this band, a piece of the other four boys’ childhoods and youth also died yesterday. a piece of their history died yesterday. a face to their personal memories died yesterday. and it’s devastating.

they found a home in each other when they were so far away from home, and i cannot even begin to imagine the grief they are feeling and will continue to feel.

walking in the wind has the perfect line like “if you’re lost, just look for me. you’ll find me in the region of the summer stars” and i know for a lifetime to come those four guys will be living that out as the years go on.

my entire chest aches for them. they deserve all the space and grace during this delicate time.

[harrysblackcoat]

Harry 💔

[sophism]

so many things are upsetting me about this tho like, for Niall to be the member who saw him last and the fact that he was in the area just to see him (and in the condition that it happened no less), for Zayn never being able to make true amends, for Louis and Harry after already going through so much loss like 😭😭😭😭 I just keep thinking about it and making myself upset all over again

[boooksandcleverness]

I can’t wait until I’m 45 and singing Midnight Memories drunk at a karaoke bar by myself because I never learned to love anything more than I love one direction

[faerieangcl]

feeling grief over someone who shaped part of your childhood / teenage years ≠ excusing his actions.

you can grieve someone and still not like them or agree with their actions. a reminder that two things can be true at once.
