[roastedveggie]

They literally got 3rd on X factor and headed straight to abbey road

i know this has been said in various ways by many people, but this genuinely needs to be a wake up call for how dehumanizing and objectifying fame is and can be. a dark rabbit hole that can swallow someone up without any empathy, and the malevolent presence just laughs as it watches one try to dig themselves out with any means necessary before kicking them as they fall back down, time and time again.

the industry is a broken system. that isn't news, but how much blood has to stain the hands of those who were meant to protect young stars, to mentor young stars, to uplift and encourage young stars before something is actually done. tears can be wept. posts can be made. guilt can be had. but when will enough be enough? when will there be real investigations? when will there be an entire uprooting of the foundation that has steadied this toxic, abusive industry for decades? when will this be taken seriously enough?

no one should become hollow shells of their former selves, constantly seeking validation and peace at the bottom of bottles or through capsules of pills or scattered in the powder of substances. no one should be running an endless race to find who they once were. no one should become an adult who does horrible things who once was a kid who had an innocent heart and dreams. no one should grow up in an environment designed for them to fail underneath those with power and guiding lights who do not protect them when that was their number one job.

every young star who dies at the hands of the spotlight dies first by the irresponsibility and crude nature of those who were meant to safeguard them and keep them from harm's way. and that should infuriate you. because it constantly infuriates me.

Seeing so many names I haven’t seen in years on here is so comforting and also so devastating all at once.

I will never forget the impact this fandom and the band has had on me over the years, especially as a teenager.

I love you all, I miss you all, and I’m so sorry that grief is the thing that brought us back

[nerds4life]

I keep coming on Tumblr to refresh and I see my old 1D friends returning to grieve together by reblogging posts from each other.

Just like we did in years gone by when there were leaks and PR bullshit. And fun things.

We came together in the good, and it’s comforting that we’re together in the bad.

We are in this together. With our boys.

Forever. 1D.

I keep thinking about that time a fan asked Stephen Hawking about Zayn leaving the band and how he said there are infinite parallel universes and that in at least one, Zayn would still be in One Direction.

The thought that there are infinite parallel universes is comforting to me right now.

online communities are so strange because people slip away so easily. you can be on here for years, folding people you've never met into the fabric of your daily life, and then they disappear, leaving only ghost posts scattered across tumblr behind. or their blog stays dormant, for weeks, months, years, until you're only still following them because you remember that they love sunflowers or they were kind to you when they didn't have to be or the last thing they posted was sad and raw and you still worry about them sometimes.

and sometimes they come back when you least expect it, years later, even, and there's this sudden rush of relief like there you are, there you are, even though you barely knew each other.

there's a strange kind of love to it. i don't know you and i want to hold your hand across miles and time zones and oceans. i can still see the imprint of you in this community you left. you don't anyone will notice or care when you're gone, but we notice and we care and we wish you well.

i hope you're all okay out there. i hope the sun is shining on your face and you are breathing deeply. i miss you.

stuck on the different pictures louis, zayn, and harry chose for their posts…

louis’ is celebrating their bond, their friendship, the love they held for one another that got them through so many tough times. it’s saying they will never get to stand on a stage together again but let’s celebrate the good times, let’s remember the love.

zayn’s is highlighting that they were just kids at the start, they were boys thrown together into an insane, unimaginable situation and they needed each other. they found solace and comfort in each other and no one else can understand what they went through growing up together but they clung on to each other.

and harry’s… god. harry’s is just liam. liam on stage looking out on thousands of fans doing his favourite thing in the world. and that’s how harry wanted to honour him, making other people happy.

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

[ialwaysknewyouwerepunk]

you always have another chance you always have another chance you always have another chance. you can get better you can do better you can unlearn habits you can get help. it's fucking hard and it's a process but it's always always possible. the people you hurt might not forgive you. but do not let anyone ever tell you that the only way through is out

Louis and Liam pouring gatorade on each other during Best Song Ever, 28/07/15

[huddiewilliams]

no but I'm genuinely so thankful for the people here, the community here. people who understand the grief, the anger, the devastation. even when I've been unable to find the words to say, just seeing someone say exactly what I'm feeling and others sharing it, like yeah they understand. they know it too. they're feeling it too. i really don't know how I would've coped without you people here.

One Direction’s first and last performances as a five piece. (2010 - 2015)

[pop-punklouis]

vile actions have been done. words have been said that can never be taken back. victims have been abused. lives have been altered due to toxic behaviors and addiction. so much hurt has been spread.

but no one should die young. no one should grow up fatherless. no parent should have to bury their own child. no one should be searching for peace for so long after growing up in a system designed for them to fail only to have their life end so tragically in pursuit of that peace. no one.

Last group hug of the OTRA tour in Sheffield, 10/31/15.

[alloutshirt]

seeing so many people who haven’t been here for a while . we’re all family and will always be . what we got to experience is rare and precious . hope time will allow us to look back at it with joy and peace again . hugging all of you tight

[hrrytomlinson]

i haven’t touched this blog in years but this account will always always always be My Home™️ and it doesn’t feel real that I just lost a part of my life in the blink of an eye like this… I’m shocked. I’m numb.

I owe these boys my teen hood, my youth. They helped me realize my passions. They helped me discover my queerness. They made me feel safe. They gave me community. I’m lost…

i think one of my all time favourite things in post-fandom life is the fact i always knew there was going to be a time where we would all come together to talk about something as if years haven’t passed at all.

never in a million years would i thought this would be the reason but yet i’m so thankful to be able to share the same heart as all of you
