let me just say-- i am incredibly proud of how the boys handled the onslaught of liam's passing.

those 4 boys have some of the most famous faces in this world, most especially after oct 16. for sure, paps were searching for them every-fucking-where to be the first ones to catch a glimpse of their grief-stricken faces to make a quick buck. BUT those boys did EVERYTHING to stay out of the spotlight. yes, we had some pap pics of niall walking his dog (fuck the paps fr) and fan pics with niall in an art gallery but OTHER THAN THAT!?!?!?!? NOTHING?!?!?! that's almost incomprehensible for the level of fame they have.

even at the funeral, they never gave the paps the satisfaction of a pic of all of them together. in the moment where they deserve, more than anything, to be together, they set that aside to make sure that liam's funeral remains HIS, a celebration of his wonderful life.

in my heart of hearts, i really believe they came together to ensure that (1) the paps didnt get what they want, (2) that liam's life and legacy is celebrated exactly the way he deserved, and (3) that they each be able to mourn and move forward in their own way and time.

so, so, so proud. well done boys. we all see you. we are so fucking proud of you.

By the way one direction inspired an entire generation of young teens to become artists, readers, writers, musicians, animators. 14 year olds were hacking into security cameras. Do you genuinely understand how hard that is? I literally have a tech degree and i still view hacking as too complicated. 14 year olds were in literal stem to watch one direction buy a bottle of shampoo. They have genuinely altered the courses of so many people's lives in terms of careers and long term hobbies. It was never just the music. I literally started reading by reading fanfiction. I am now a very active reader of many genres. I got a fucking tech degree because i wanted to see how it was done. Like its so unbelievably crazy. And they were massively bullied by the media and the rest of the world. They were ridiculed by the music industry. They were the biggest boyband on the planet and the only one that went as global as they did and they had them parody their own song 3 seperate times. They were never nominated for grammys as a group. They were genuinely never taken seriously and they changed the courses of young womens lives.

Everyone in the replies and reblogs agreeing and proving my point makes me so warm. This is a sisterhood. This is girlhood. This is love. This is 5 boys who fought against the narrative very boldly in interviews and consistently stood up for their young female audience. Not once were we not thanked at award shows, not once did they allow us to be ridiculed by misogyny in interviewers questions. Time and time again they shut down that shit. This is countless women across the ENTIRE world that will forever remain bonded and connected by one central thing, their love for 5 boys. Countless women seeing it in lifelong dreams, in their hobbies, in their passion projects, in their careers. When they have a bad interaction and regress to a sad lonely 13 year old for a day who's listening to one direction on repeat.

Know this: there are countless women who feel the exact same way. We all have different stories and different skills gained, different cultures, different reasons for using the band as our sanctuary, but strip us down, and we are all the same.

This will forever remain a sisterhood. If you'd like to talk about literally anything, one direction or otherwise, please know you can always reach out to me. Even if we've never spoken. Love you all and hope you're doing okay.

I remember how guys my age used to find One Direction songs "gay" because girls flocked to them, and their burned asses couldn't handle them.

Some of them couldn't resist the 1D fever and came down hard. They brought illegally downloaded albums and stored YouTube videos of their interviews. This skit reminds me of them.

When the news broke, some went radio silent.

"In the instance an employer makes an illegal request for a photograph as part of a job application, you may submit a complaint to the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission." Successful violation fee collections are paid partially to the one who suffered the violation, which in many cases exceeds a year of work at these shit jobs. There's only two weak points to a corporation, and those are in the budget and in the supply chain. Hit them where it hurts.
