There is this weird dichotomy, for me, in how they act, because a lot of the time they are inappropriate for a ~younger audience. I mean, they're teenage boys, they talk about sex a lot, and they've also been very outspoken in the past about safe sex (I'm pretty sure Harry has been quoted as saying that it's selfish for a boy not to use a condom), and the like. But they are also really goofy, and I have to wonder how much is genuine goofiness, and how much is just exaggerated because they do have younger fans.

I wish I had that 1D "THIS!" gif, because it is perfect for your description of Zayn. He IS NOT doing improv, and that is why he is so easy to do an impression of. I mean, you saw Harry's reaction to Liam's impression. It's pretty spot-on. And I have definitely come around to the Louis: Annoying but Great way of thinking.

It was kind of hard for me to watch. I had to turn it off when that happened because they were so clearly angry with each other and it was uncomfortable. It was also from a long time ago, like barely post X-Factor, when I think they were all still feeling out each other's boundaries, as it were, and getting to know each other. Harry and Zayn seem a lot more comfortable with each other now.

Harry does seem sharp to me. I also like the way that, when he has questions directed at him, he tries to include the whole band. I think people are trying to make him out to be some sort of leader and he is not comfortable with that, so he always brings it back to "we" or "us". Every single time. I always see Niall as the little brother of the band. Like, they are always picking him up and cuddling him and ruffling his hair, so I feel like the band sees him that way to. And I think it might be because of Harry's maturity and the fact that Niall is the second youngest, after Harry.

I was telling my sister, the other day, that as deep into this whole thing as I am now, I will probably be into this fandom until it's on its last legs. I just can't imagine a time when I am not charmed by these ridiculous boys.
