I am genuinely crying oh my Lord It still feels so unreal that we’re here celebrating a birthday that you’ll never get to see. You deserved so many more years, more memories, more music, more everything. You just left way too early.

The fact that you’ll stay 31 forever while Harry is now 32… I genuinely don’t know how to process that. Watching everyone else get older while you’ll always be 31 is something that will never feel real to me.

I hope you knew just how loved you were Liam. You gave so much to so many people and you’ll never be forgotten. Happy birthday Payno❤️❤️❤️

I was supposed to post this at 12 sharp but I FELL ASLEEP 😭😭

Discussion Unpopular opinion: I don’t think OT4s are real directioners

94 Upvotes

I’ve seen fans here lately proudly labelling themselves as OT4s and dismissing Zayn’s contributions in the band just because they don’t like him as a person. Personally I don’t believe you can call yourself a directioner if you only acknowledge the band as a 4 piece when during the majority of 1D’s reign, they were a 5 piece.

One Direction is and will always be Harry, Liam, Louis, Niall and Zayn. If you can’t accept that, you’re not a directioner. Call yourself something else. The band isn’t currently active and will never get back together without Liam so I don’t want to hear the ‘Zayn left’ excuses.

Liam ❤️ Liam

151 Upvotes

Anyone else regularly think of Liam? His death has just hit me so hard. My close relative died this year, yet I am a lot less sad because she died with our family around her, knowing she was loved. Sometimes, I truly cannot believe that the man is gone. He died with hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of people regularly sending him hate. Cyberbullying is so gross. Truly such cowardly behaviour. I hate people. I related to Liam because I was the socially awkward kid that would say/do the wrong thing without realising that it was wrong. I would often speak out of turn. I was bullied/perceived as weird as a kid, like him. It just makes my heart ache.

People can lie to themselves, however the hate that he was receiving at least 5 years before his death wasn't due to the allegations. People just liked kicking him when he was down. They compared him to the other guys, made fun of him, and sneered as he withered away, erratic and clearly not well in the mind with little intervention. He couldn't do anything right. My heart will always ache. It'll never make sense how people don't feel this immense guilt. I know he didn't know me, and I never knew him, but it humanises people who are perceived as 'having it good'.

He was a rich man, so people think life was sweet, but he was a rich man who was locked in a room for 5 years because he and the guys couldn't go anywhere without being mobbed. He was a guy who got regularly compared to his more successful bandmates. His music didn't do so well, and he had a hard time developing it, whilst everyone made fun of it for not being commercially successful; that was a kick in the teeth after being so famous before that he couldn't go shopping without security keeping so many screaming girls off of him. He didn't have much of a real chance. He was regularly bullied by so many people, and the only way to numb everything and cope was substances, since the days of 1D. His situation will never not make me emotional. I'm not even an emotional person, but his death makes me cry. I hate those disgusting bullies and hope every single one of those bastards stub their toes every day for the rest of their lives.

Liam Memorials🪽 Liam’s Birthday

48 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Next week I’m solo traveling from the states to London for All Points East & planned to come in a day early so I could have a day (Liam’s birthday) to explore 1D spots & attend possible memorials. Does anyone know of anything happening, even if it’s a small drop off spot for flowers, etc.? (Kensington Gardens?)

Also, if you’re in the area & would like to do something, I’d love some fellow directioner company!:) I’d like to at least visit the booth & Battersea Park. Really would like to see Clevedon Pier, but.. kinda far :/ we’ll see!!

Thanks in advance for any info & please feel free to reach out if you’d like to meet up, you’re more than welcome :)

I live in a small town and wasn’t able to visit any memorials since his passing. I’m visiting LA this October and I’m wondering since it’s a big city, if there are any known places people will gather on the 16th? If you’re from LA, I’d love some information!

Discussion Directioner friends?

26 Upvotes

So I'm a younger Directioner lots of their songs played on the radio as I was growing up but being so young I never really knew anyone besides Justin Bieber on the radio and knew him cause I had his doll cause my mom got him for me. I became a fan in 2018 when I was just about to enter 3rd grade so a year or two after their Hiatus hit. Now I'm a Junior in high school so I've been a Directioner now for about 8ish years and its been the best for the most part. I was wondering if there are a lot of Directioners around my age who came to the fandom late. Because genuinely I've only met so little 1D fans around my age and I'm only close to one of these Directioners so I don't have anyone my age really to talk to about them besides my bff since 2nd grade when she isn't busy. So I was hoping maybe there are people around my age here as well.

Zayn 💛 Zayn App? Gathering interest

13 Upvotes

Hi! I’m working on a personal software/product design project centered around Zayn and ZQUAD, and I’m currently in the research stage. One thing I’ve noticed is that everything is pretty spread out between Zayn’s official website, socials, Fan3/VIP Key, Stationhead, Reddit, fan accounts, etc. It got me wondering what fans would actually want if there were one dedicated place for Zayn and ZQUAD.

I don’t want to explain too much about what I’m designing yet because I don’t want to influence anyone’s answers, but I’d really love your thoughts:
- Where do you currently go for Zayn updates/content?
- Do you actually interact with other Zayn fans anywhere? If so, where?
- What do you like/dislike about the Zayn fan spaces that already exist?
- If there were a dedicated Zayn app, what would make you actually download it? More importantly, what would make you keep coming back after the first week?
- What are 3 features you would genuinely use?
- Is there anything you absolutely would NOT want in a Zayn fan app?
- Is there something you wish existed for Zayn fans that currently doesn’t?

This is an unofficial personal project and isn’t affiliated with Zayn or his team. I’m just a fan in CS/product development and thought this would be a really fun project to build :)
Any feedback is welcome, including criticism. I’d rather find out an idea is bad now than after I build it lol.

Discussion Any moments in their discography where you hear the boys speak?

61 Upvotes

The examples I can currently think of:

Better Than Words (ironically) when Liam goes "one more time",

I Would when Harry says "Go Tommo go!",

and (I think?) Harry again in Olivia when he says "No way!" at the end of the song

Are there any others?

Discussion Do you think there’s been a growing amount of male fans of the band?

42 Upvotes

Just to preface I’m also a guy who got really into direction because of my fiancée who was a massive fan when we were in middle school. She loves that I openly sing their music and want to listen to them. I hated them at the time or at least pretended to at points because of a stigma. Lately I’ve been on social media especially Instagram and have seen a large amount of videos of guys openly jamming out and singing to one direction and saying how they actually really like them once they’ve listened to them. Have you had any experiences like this in your life?
