I’m so devastated. I found out about the news at work and I was so in shock I had to lock myself in the restroom because I didn’t know what to do with myself. I’ve cried so many times today, my heart goes to everybody who has been touched by this tragedy but specially the Tomlinson-Deakin family.
She was an incredible woman who was always willing to help and who fought hard to raise some pretty amazing kids. These last few months must have been incredibly hard for her and her loved ones. Rest in peace, you beautiful soul.
Please, if you want to help sign up in your country’s bone marrow registry or become a stem cell donor. It’s really, really easy and you can help save someone’s life if you’re compatible.
This is a project to ensure the success of Steve Aoki feat. Louis Tomlinson’s single “Just Hold On” - a tribute to Louis’ late mother, Johannah Deakin, who passed away on December 7th 2016.
As a fandom we can do anything we put our minds to, and as such, we’d love to see this beautiful and moving tribute to a truly inspiring woman recognised and appreciated as far and wide as possible.
We’re going to be asking for your help a lot over the coming weeks but for now we’d love it if you could follow us to keep up to date with the project. Once the single’s out, we’ll be able to really get to work. If you’ve got any questions, suggestions or if you’d like to help, please let us know.
Mhiya, as someone with some experience in leukaemia research and treatment i’d like to ask people to have a little think about potentially signing up to your country’s bone marrow registry. if you’re thinking of things like ‘my sister’s keeper’ then please don’t, most bone marrow donations are now done through a series of injections and then a process like donating platelets.
you can donate from age 16. it’s particularly important for POC to sign up to the registry as we don’t have a lot of POC donors, leading it difficult for POC to find a match! your donations can be used anywhere around the world. 2/3 of people who need bone marrow don’t have a match within their families and so need to use unrelated donors found through registries.
joining the registry is as simple as spitting into a pot so they can test your cheek cells to find your specific profile.
So first of all I want to say thank you for all the lovely messages you have sent me during the last couple of weeks (I’m just seeing them now, sorry!) and I also want to apologise because some people were really worried. I honestly didn’t expect people to actually wonder about my safety, I’m really touched and very sorry.
FEAR NOT! I’m perfectly okay :)
I’m not leaving for good, I’m just taking a break. I will be coming back at some point but I don’t know really when.
Since I decided to make this post I might as well be honest with you all.

If you have been following me for a while then you know that I radically changed my blogging ~style about a year ago. I stopped being an active part of the fandom, closed my inbox and turned into a queue-based pictures blog. It worked well for a while, I muted tons of people and blacklisted every drama related word, but in the long run it wasn’t enough.
I want to clarify that this has never been about the drama. I can deal with drama but I can’t deal with this fandom (and when I say fandom I mean the fans). I just can’t. Most people here get on my nerves and what’s the point of having a blog to chill at the end of the day if it’s going to leave me more stressed than my daily routine.
Not even all the muting and blacklisting would make my dash a nice place. I could barely see any 1D related post at all but still all I could see was people fighting on the left, some others reaching to moon to explain explainable stuff on the right and - here it comes - a whole freaking lot of Louis bashing.
I definitely didn’t sign up for that.
I’m a Louie. Louis always comes first for me when it comes to this fandom and this band and I’m not even sorry. I love that tiny bastard, what can I say, I’ve made it this far in this bs purely because of him.
I think it’s fairly obvious it’s not a good time to be a Louie in this fandom and I can’t just stand here, watching him do his shitty job and have people not so casually dragging him all over my dash on top of that.
That’s not all there is, obviously. There are many things that drove me to the decision of taking a break, small stuff here and there (again, all fandom related), but this was the issue that gave me the final push to say ‘okay, I’m done’.
So yeah, I have a non-1D blog (if you’re into kpop hit me up!) so I don’t spend any time here at all but I might pop up every now and then. I’m not deleting and my intention is really to come back when things calm down or when everything implodes and all that is left is the sane people. Like I mentioned, my issue is not really babygate-related so I can’t use that as a deadline.
That’s it. Again, sorry for making you worry and I’m sad that I had to reach this point. I used to be really happy in this fandom, it helped me go through very rough stuff. I met wonderful people and I learned a lot, but the bad really outdoes the good (in my opinion) and I didn’t sign up for this.
