Louis in Iceland gets me every time

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.

Imposter MV - Cakegate mention

based on my friends’ comments — and now that i’ve actually watched the mv — it’s pretty clear (in my opinion) that the man in the narrative is “imposter louis,” while louis’ cameo represents the real louis. happiness and authenticity are split between the two.

one thing a friend pointed out that really stuck with me was the cake on the mother-in-law’s face, which immediately brings up cakegate. and honestly, the expression and the imagery line up.

cakegate was such a visible, public moment — almost the symbolic “end” of louis’ openly queer presentation — and here it feels like that same visual language is being echoed on purpose. it reads as a full-circle moment: either forcing a confrontation with what was taken from him back then, or actively reclaiming it by reusing the same imagery under his own control.

his facial expressions don’t read as annoyance at all — to me, they read as disappointment. it looks more like he’s reflecting, thinking back on what happened, and feeling the weight of how that single moment played a role in suppressing his true self. this is someone truly realizing the significance of something long after the fact.

I’m like 99% sure that Louis, Zayn, Niall and Harry stayed away from each other in public on purpose today. They all know what would happen if the four of them stood next to each other and a picture of all four of them was taken. People were calling it “the reunion we never wished for” even before we knew there’d be a funeral attended by all of them. Would you call your grandpa’s funeral a “family reunion”? Probably not. This was never a “1D reunion”, always Liam’s funeral. So, by staying away from each other, they could make sure no one could get the picture everyone wanted. Which is so smart to protect themselves and Liam’s funeral. Because today wasn’t about One Direction. It was about Liam, who was part of Oke Direction, but so much more. A father. A son. A brother. A boyfriend. A friend. This was the best they could do for everyone including Liam. Not be seen together in public at his funeral to keep this about him. Imagine if paps got the high selling picture they wanted today - this isn’t something anyone could possibly wanted to be the lasting thing of this.

"Just fuck off Louis” he squirmed at the mention of his name, yet Harry continued abject fury now etched on his face “You’re acting like it was all one sided but you forget that I was actually there and I had the marks and bruises for weeks after. You can pretend you faked it or didn’t enjoy it all you like, but no-one comes three fucking times whilst moaning and whimpering like that unless they are into it MATE!”

“Yeah well what can I say - any hole will do!” Louis’s eyes betrayed him staying focused on the road ahead refusing to look in the rear view mirror, his knuckles now white from gripping the steering wheel so hard. He couldn’t back down now, not when Harry was being so vicious.

or

Harry and Louis are both Police Officers who despise each other after sleeping together months ago. Every interaction is a competition of escalating hate filled insults until one night when they end up handcuffed together abandoned in a deserted warehouse with no means of escape. Finally forced to face the truth of why things went so badly wrong and if can they reconcile on what might be the last night of their lives.

I also think what makes Liam’s death so hard is the realization that those little fan-girl days are truly over.

I would always look back on memories of being a young teen and having not a care in the world but one direction. I would miss the staying up late to watch interviews. I would miss making these fan edits and posting them to my fan account. I would miss the innocence of being a young girl in love with a boyband.

Of course as I grew up and became an adult, I have matured and in a sense “put those days behind me”. But I still had so much love and respect for One Direction and how much they meant to me growing up.

I guess I just always held onto this belief that One Direction wasn’t really over. Even when Zayn left. Even when they announced their hiatus. I knew that that boys loved their fans and they all needed time to find themselves and heal from their own experiences, good and bad. I knew it must have not been easy for them to be catapulted into the spotlight at such a young age. I just always had this belief that maybe they wouldn’t entirely regroup / start over again as One Direction … but that they would at least have reunion to show that they are still strong and they are still proud of the band.

But with Liam’s passing, the possibility of One Direction truly never having a proper reunion is a punch to the gut knowing that we will never witness them together again. Also, selfishly, knowing I will never be able to see them in concert like so many other lucky fans were. It feels like a part of my inner teen also died. Knowing she will never be able to experience the joys and love that came from one direction makes me so sad for her. Adult me, knowing I will never be able to re-experience One Direction is also grieving it. 

When did we all grow up?

From now on, every music video, every throwback photo, or even any future reunion will always look this sense of sadness. Knowing that we are missing one of our boys.
