I MISS

Nicole Scherzinger's tribute to Liam on IG.
[Pictures were taken on August 30th in Manchester, so even though those are the same clothes Liam was wearing when he passed, it's clearly not the same day. It seemed right to clarify this, since some people on Twitter/X were wondering about it.]
The problem with being an older 1D fan at the moment is finding ways to contain the blinding rage. Liam is … fuck … was younger than my son!! From the age of 16 he was not protected, not cared for, emotionally abused, physically exhausted all the time. All so absolute demons like Simon Cowell could get rich. They took such beautiful energy, used him, and they away the toxic waste for someone else to deal with. I’m beyond furious!
Hugs your kids if you have them.

When it suddenly crashes on you that it is real and not just a nightmare, and the dam of tears breaks 💔
(excuse me for ranting but I'm in an angry phase)
People love to forget that Harry /is/ private with his real private life and Liam was part of that.
The fact is harry rarely post anymore, the last really personal post was, maybe his fl anniversary post or his 1d anniversary post from years ago and you could argue those were verging on generic as well, everyone has an internet voice and thats its just the way he speaks online. (Tbh I'd guess he and Niall only posted because Louis and zayn did, not because they don't care but because they both keep their feelings private) besides the fact people mourn differently; he may still be processing it, he may be the one holding it together for the others he may be blaming himself etc- there's a unending list (I've felt numb and angry since the news dropped, I know something will tip me over and I'll cry but right now that's not where I am and that's okay, it's human)
I'm angry because i remember when people were all over him for not posting about Robin or Jay , he didn't post more than a picture for Matt, he didn't post about fizzy, that didn't mean he didnt mourn, anytime we've seen him after something terrible like this he looked devastated.
People act like social media is the end all for human emotions, if you don't post your feelings you don't feel them, it's like object permanence for infants if I don't see you feeling it -it you don't feel it.
Im just sick these boy have been treated like a commodity since they started and people won't give them the grace to have human reactions.
I feel so fucking lucky to have been shaped into the person I am today by One Direction. 2024 me does not exist as I am today, without them. How lucky am I to have be changed by them. I’m here today on this tumblr, with all of you- friends, mutuals, strangers- because of them. One Direction will always be woven into the fabric of my memories, experiences and dreams. That is a truth that cannot change. I am so so lucky to have loved them and be loved by so many of you because of them. Wow.
thinking about how i really really hope that liam was able to find solace and comfort in creating music and that it wasn't just a source of stress and discomfort for him in the end... the industry is so fucking cruel and competitive and awful and it commodifies this art form to the point that it must feel incredibly overwhelming to have setbacks to the point that it can take the joy and comfort that should come with creating art. it makes me so fucking sad always that it feels like liam wasn't able to fully find his footing yet in his solo career and that he could've in darker moments negatively compared himself to his bandmates. he was so fucking talented and i wanted to see him thrive and find joy in his life and career and i hate that he doesn't have that chance and that the public was endlessly cruel to him about his music when he was a rare talent. he touched so many lives through his art and i hope he knows that.
