Liam tribute broke my heart 💔 can’t believe it’s the reason why so many of us are back here. I wish you well Gina. Stay strong.

It made me cry, too. I’m so glad they put together something special. He deserved that.

My cousin asked me about Liam this weekend, and all I could talk about was how the fandom has somehow come back together in the wake of his death.

She did not understand. She didn’t get the comfort baked into seeing old usernames and favorite fic writers, an online version of the way familiar faces you haven’t thought of in ages come to a funeral, and you suddenly realize the depth of their indelible mark on your life — how you wouldn’t be who you are today, personally, emotionally, creatively, without these names, these stories, these references, these inside jokes; all weighty things that hold a level of nostalgia you could never possibly explain.

Grieving with a community of intimate strangers is… odd, and yet, so, so special. It is perfectly consistent with what fandom is like, both in good and bad times: a lifeline, invisible and unspoken to many but the lucky, lucky few.

When it suddenly crashes on you that it is real and not just a nightmare, and the dam of tears breaks 💔

as much as i'm hurting with them, i'm hurting for them so much more. if i'm this hurt, i can't even imagine what they all must be feeling

[alarrylarrie]

I keep looking at the tributes and something feels off. It feels wrong. And the only way I can describe it sounds silly but like… something’s missing.

Someone’s missing. It’s an incomplete set. And of course Liam isn’t writing his own tribute but it just keeps hitting me over and over that like. This is it. This is our new normal. An incomplete set. I hope that doesn’t sound insensitive I just. I don’t know how else to say it. It’s… incomplete.

i did not once ever have a full night’s sleep from 2013-2015. nothing new to say that hasn’t already been said but it was so fucking fun being a one direction fan while they were still releasing albums/touring. can’t even put it into words or describe it. u were constantly terrorized while also having the best time of ur life.

[buscandoelparaiso]

tonight i got a lot of messages from people i met through one direction in the past 11 years and we are all sharing a thought while trying to process this shocking news. this made me realise how much these guys changed the music world, the concept of fandom and the lives of so many people, including mine. as silly as it might sound, i wouldn't be where i am now if it wasn't for this band. one direction created something no other band did, they united an entire generation who still feel attached to them no matter how many years have now passed. these five guys will forever be my home and no matter where we all are at the moment or will be in the next years, a part of those who experienced this band like me will always be at the bottom of those stairs with the boys, in this world or the other.

a hug to everyone🩷

It has literally been years since I made a post here. Occasionally, I have popped in to check in and catch up but time moves on and our lives go in different directions.

Today, after hearing the news, my first thought was to come be with my friends/family who I have shared amazing experiences and heartbreaking losses.

Some who I still know and love, those I have lost touch with and those who I didn’t know at all but who I have shared this undeniable connection based on the love of a boy band made up of five unique and lovable boys.

So once again, here I am to share what I think many of us our feeling; shock, sadness, grief, confusion and a deep sense of loss.

While Liam struggled and made mistakes he made an impact on so many. May his family, friends and fans find solace in knowing he was loved and touched so many lives.

Everyone take care and allow yourself to express your grief and sadness in whatever way feels right for you.

I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion, but I have absolutely no desire to see any statements from any of the boys. Zero. I don't want them to say anything, i dont want them to go online. I know whatever they say won't properly express their feelings, i dont want them to sit down and try to find the most "public friendly" words to say goodbye to liam and i dont want the public to compare what any of them says, who spoke up first, who was the most genuine. I hope they can rest, work through their emotions and be happy, as much as they can be

❤️

Thank you 1D for bringing me some of the best friends and fandom community I could have ever asked for. Everyone I have met because of this band has meant so much to me. I love you all.

I’m in shock and just devastated right now. A feeling of complete emptiness. I can’t even begin to think how his family and friends feel and the boys who shared so much with him and the millions of fans around the world. I don’t want to think too much. Whatever mistakes he made he was a human who deserved a chance to make amends and that is now gone. I pray his family, friends and fans find peace because this is the most horrible news to hear. RIP Liam 🙏🏻❤️🕊️you are loved and remembered.

to my friends who I am still in contact with, those who I lost contact with, those who were still around and those who, like me, have emerged from the woodwork due to tragedy - I love you I see you I’m thinking of you

[dailytomlinson]

We're devastated by today's nightmare (which we really wish we could wake up from). All my friends (who have taken over this blog) and I hope all of you, our followers here, are okay and can take a step back to properly handle everything. Our hearts go out to Liam's family, friends, crew over the past decade and a half and, of course, his four brothers. Our hearts, as fans, are absolutely shattered. We're here if you need us. It has been one of the greatest pleasures of our lives to witness Liam growth and development and we're devastated about how the industry has taken yet another good soul and destroyed it beyond repair. Rest in kindness, Liam. 🕊️
