1DHQ

Well the first thing that happened was everyone got really excited for the hyped up premier of an iHeartRadio video of “unseen tour footage” which then turned out to be less than two minutes of absolutely seen tour footage with a cheesy filter on it, but the howls of outrage and memes made it all worth it, and the subsequent trending tag #WasThatIt was truly the perfect way to kick off the day. Dare I say, visionary?? A few hours later we all did the exact same thing again for the official video and then were SHOCKED when it was only five minutes long and also mostly not new lol. But it’s cool guys there’s more content to come: “a week of 1D” was kicked off (with the new and improved now HQ WMYB MV) which will be, uh, old music videos reposted in HQ wowwww (/s).

TPTB did post a new website and yes it DID crash, in fact it crashed so long and so hard and so comprehensively that conspiracy theories were born and died while it was still down, for example that it was meant to crash and was just a red herring for something else but at least they had prepared for the crashing: the error page was made with the #DirectionersBreakTheInternet tag (which had already been trending for days, they didn’t invent it, they were just being wink winky) on it. After enough time passed that it became clear that the website really was it and nothing else was going to be added, fans decided to make their own fun began discussing the phrase Reason Being showing up in a few places on the site and other places we’ve never been for reasons we don’t understand, and then fans snapped up Reason Being domain names to redirect to the 1D site and social media URLs to acquire followers by pretending to Know things. There are a number of things it probably isn’t (a new band name for contractual reasons is one they own the name 1D) and if I had to guess I’d say it was like a production company involved in making things HQ or something but frankly I do not know! Go fully off, it could mean anything at all! Anyway, at last most of Europe and the UK went to bed and THEN HQ was like GUESS WHAT WE FIXED THE SITE and also this is the right time to release this special twitter emoji… right?! Just in time guys, great work. Really. So finally the mysterious site was accessible and fans eagerly logged in to learn… that Harry used to work in a bakery and Liam is afraid of spoons. Need I go on? I truly can’t bear it. <I don’t know what I expected. jpg> but holy crap it’s off the mark even for them WOW.

Thurs 23 July pt 1

(1DHQ content in Part 2! A separate post!)

FOR THE TENTH ANNIVERSARY of One Direction we got… lovely thoughtful posts from Liam, Niall, Louis, and, yes, Harry, about how much they love and value the band and the other boys, all posting OT5 photos! Niall and Louis both tagged all the other four, Harry and Niall thanked the crew, all thanked the fans (from Louis: “your unmatched level of loyality is something that makes me really really proud”), and Harry finished his long heartfelt message with “to the boys, I love you so much, and I couldn’t be prouder of everything we achieved together.” Louis said he “spent the morning watching old interviews and performances” and thanked “ALL” the others then backed up that ALL by FOLLOWING HARRY! I’m just gonna repeat that: LOUIS PUBLICLY FOLLOWED HARRY. No action from Harry on that but it was noted that he publicly follows a few hundred accounts… and privately follows a small number of hidden ones. And then, many hours later, Louis came back online and retweeted Niall and FOLLOWED ZAYN! Niall and Liam liked and commented cute hearts on and retweeted the others’ posts but Louis stole the show with his dramatic signals to the fanbase.

Liam’s much anticipated radio interview this morning was the first clue that nothing too astonishing was going to come through any official channels, like it was a very nice interview but didn’t contain any breaking news, and then Niall’s interview started, while Liam was still on OF COURSE, and then that site crashed but it turns out it didn’t matter anyway because Niall wasn’t even ON, all the “Niall interviews” were OLD!! Yes, only Liam actually was on the radio today. He talked about how much he loves Once In A Lifetime and says it’s his go-to to play in Ubers when drunk because it takes him back to a time when he felt safe, in the band, and said “we all love a bit of tommo” and gave the usual “yeah eventually for sure” about a reunion, oh and he said he’s been in the studio the last couple weeks!

JoJo the pap posted bunches unseens, with cute stories, and Rolling Stone posted an unpublished Narry interview from 2012 (intended for a 1D cover story that didn’t happen, damn) that actually has some new information in it about like their childhoods and stuff. Ben Winston posted a new pic from inside the cursed bread van, Niall posted cool from-the-stage pictures, and a cousin of Zayn’s posted a few old pics. A lot of old interviews popped up and X Factor footage in HQ was posted, fetus moments gif quality is about to go through the roof around here.

Endnotes: a fan sighting of Harry in Italy (masked), the green vinyl Fine Line is back in the HSHQ store, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge used TPWK in a charity announcement, and Harry’s Instagram post broke the record for getting a million likes fastest. Louis didn’t unarchive anything, error message pages are always part of website HTML, and the 1D site said Louis is 5'7" LOL. Best part of the unseen footage, not one but two bits of Louis filming Harry, especially the one of him still in a bed recently vacated by a second person. It wasn’t twin beds, but why would it be: rather, we see once again that they always had rooms with a double to share. But most importantly of all, a wild Jeremy Joseph appeared! Not the twin Jeremy, the other one popped up like he knew we were talking about him and posted about the G-A-Y show.

10 YEARS OF ONE DIRECTION (JULY 23, 2010)

You know what? It would just be amazing to be remembered, you know, like a mum telling a daughter, ‘The boyband of my time, One Direction, they just had fun and they’re just normal guys, but terrible, terrible dancers.’
