i haven’t seen any active blogs on tumblr dedicated entirely to only the poets, so i decided to change that and create one myself.
once i saw the band as an opener for #ltwt, i fell in love with them and i've been a fan ever since. i want to create a space full of quotes from their songs, photos, gifs, news, and my own memories.
personally, i was lucky enough to be at five of their concerts and each time was magical. their shows are my absolute safe place and the energy is just insane! 🖤
📜 my otp story / get to know me: i discovered them in 2022 when they opened for louis tomlinson. i had no idea who they were before the show, so my very first impression was their live performance—and i instantly fell in love. when they announced their own tour and added dates in poland, i didn't hesitate for a second.
my concert timeline:
2022: łódź (as ltwt support)
2022: Poznań
2023: kraków
2025: wrocław (my first vip experience!)
2026: warszawa
the zoom call incident: in 2025, i got lucky enough to join one of their exclusive zoom release parties (they randomly pick around 60 fans). we listened to unreleased studio versions of 'thinking about your ex' and 'emotionally hungover'.
during the q&a, out of all people, andy and tommy picked ME to ask a question! i asked about their musical inspirations. tommy said the 1975 (especially their self-titled album Has a big impact on their debiut album) and andy said arctic monkeys (is anyone shocked? nope)
meeting the guys: at the vip m&g, tommy wrote down a song title for me ("its okay not to be okay"). if i ever get brave enough, i'm definitely getting it tattooed!
in april 2026, i met them while they were leaving the venue after the show. i high-fived andy and finally got to hug clem (literal dream come true).
but the best part? i told marcus: “i actually skipped my high school graduation to be here.” he literally stopped in his tracks, looked at me and went: “WHY would you do that?! you have to go to school, school is important!” but then he smiled, said thank you, and gave me a hug. 😭
i’ll also be sharing some love for the amazing artists connected to the otp universe—like our favorite photographer jordan and connor aka 'the guy from everything', and the boys' friends/supports: tom millichamp, alfie jukes, ben ellis, isaac anderson and tommy lyon! 🤍
i'm so incredibly excited to share this journey with you. let’s make this space our collective safe place! feel free to reblog, drop a like, or send a message to my ask box.
never forget when marcus had to babysit the crowd because tommy lost his voice XDD
😭🎤this was from the show at niebo in warsaw! tommy had terrible voice issues that night and had to take a break on stage to recover, sipping tea.. So marcus blessed our ears with teenage dirtbag. he literally went: "Cause i'm Just a teenage dirtbag baby.. fucking hell that is high!... i'm just a teenage.. " while tommy was just giggling in the background.an absolute core memory.
marcus on lead vocals is amazing, i need him to have a solo in their songs 🖤
Looking back at earlier tours when Tommy and Clem were stepping off the stage, walk on the middle of crowd to Play "waking in the dark" or "Every God i pray to" acoustically
the intimacy of these shows was unmatched. being in the second row for this was a core memory i’ll never, ever forget 😭✨
I swear i was close enough to see every detail of their faces lmao
