THE BEST IDOL IN THE UNIVERSE

[francesandford-deactivated20200]

What made me love One Direction in the first place was their personalities. I used to watch a bunch of their interview clips and X-Factor video diaries at the beginning of my entry into this fandom, and in the past year, it feels like their personalities have been sucked out of their promotion, with their team keeping them in tween purgatory. Of course, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with trying to appeal to the sensibilities of super young fans! It’s just hard to evoke any semblance of authenticity and enthusiasm when the band has so clearly moved on and are trying to reach more mature audiences. So it’s definitely frustrating to get this stock version of these pop stars who have become boy band archetypes (Zayn as the “mysterious one”; Harry as the player) when they have been so much more dynamic and accessible to the fans in the past, building an audience off of social media. A lot of protective walls have gone up, and I think their team genuinely feels this is for the best.

Brittany Spanos, Jezebel: One Direction just released their fourth album and […] the promotion has been pretty scattered and all over the place. Is that frustrating to you as fans? (via francesandford)

Pairing: Harry/Louis 

Word Count: ~159 000  Rating: explicit Warnings: various age differences, underage

Summary: When Louis first saw Harry at the 2010 X Factor Auditions, he thought he was watching a peculiarly special stranger. But Harry has known Louis ever since he was five years old.

Because Louis has a rare genetic disorder that causes him to Time Travel to important moments in his past and in his future - and to Harry, always to Harry. When they’re put into a band together, it seems like everything Harry has been waiting and wishing for has finally come true. Except for the small fact that Louis doesn’t know that Harry is in love with him- that Harry’s always been in love with him. Fate, it would seem, is just getting started.

A story about growing up and growing together, and the impossible love that makes it all worthwhile.

what the hell is wrong with harry he eats gluten free and cut red meat out of his diet he binges fresh fruit and soul cycle and consumes his body weight in water on stage yet he’s still always sick. is he ok? is he not getting enough sleep? is the environment of earth taking its toll on his alien body?
