A Burning House

Sarah. 28. She/Her. Was active on this site for eight years, then I left for five-ish years because life happened. But I might be back, lol. While this DEFO was a One Direction blog, I've decided to lean into the multi-fandom side of things. Anime, Manga, Astro, Books, and anything else I find interesting.

My Kataang heart was BURSTING

Yall know memes are my coping mechanism so here we are

This is a slow fandom zone

None of that "Oh no they bomb-dropped all the episodes in a week 1 month ago, I'm late!" "The tag hasn't been active all week is the fandom dead?" "I only got a hundred shares the first hour no one cares about my art"

Slow down

Take a deep breath and slow down

Fandom is YOU. And me and everyone. If we doodle stick figures for a show that ended 30 years ago we aren't "late" or "doing too little", we're playing dolls in our own time and having fun with works of art that mean a lot to us

You can literally watch and engage with something that aired in 2004 as if it aired yesterday

If the tag hasn't been active for 14 months guess what? If YOU post there, it isn't dead. Literally you can talk about anything you want whenever you want there is no weird law against watching things that people aren't actively talk about

Let's be deranged about stories together

I just realized I became inactive on this site in August 2020 (aka the darkest period in my life, my first year of teaching lol). With TikTok potentially getting banned, I just might come back

inner feelings

it's been over three years since I last posted something on this site and even longer since I last posted something about One Direction. I just wanted to express my thoughts since this blog was my CORE outlet for my love of the boys.

I've seen so many posts throughout the years about Liam and his struggles post-band. While I 100% support Maya in how she chooses to characterize Liam, the young girl within me who fell in love with the boys more than ten years ago is hurting so badly.

I don't know why, but part of me is struggling to reconcile with the fact that Liam is gone and that he left the world in a state of pain -- both mental and emotional.

I know that there was nothing that I could've done, but part of me feels so sad and guilty at the idea of him struggling so much to the point where he wasn't able to get better or attempt to make amends with those who were hurt by him.

I'm also sad because Liam was also a victim himself, something that my adolescent self never realized during One Direction's prime.

This reality is so heartbreaking. I pray that Liam has found peace. I pray that his family finds peace. I pray Maya finds peace. I pray that the boys find peace.

One Direction was better because you were in it and now it will never be the same in your absence.

Rest well, Liam James Payne -- thank you so much for being a part of a pivotal moment in my life.
