or, how a british-irish boy band took that last thread of normalcy I had and cut it off like the heartless assholes they so clearly are
(subtitled, white lady havin' a time here: the me and one direction story)
let this refined english gentleman pave your way to hell with the best intentions
listen to
this on repeat during this post. and then for the rest of your life.
so I, like many people my age, was very adamant about resisting one direction. yes, I love backstreet boys but that's just ironic nostalgic love. if I caved and started liking 1D, it would be real. I am twenty years old and with a little bit more effort, I could actually have my life together!
except apparently whoever runs the fates of this universe had no intention of me ever getting my life together in the near future. because they created these minions of the antichrist in a laboratory that clearly has a checklist with everything I love about another human being as their lab manual and then sent them down to hell to high tea it with satan himself so he could explain to them their world domination soul gathering mission (which, by the way, is working).
now I know what you're thinking right now: kate has flawless taste. there must be something so wonderfully redeeming about these humans because she wouldn't fall off the deep end over just anyone. and you're right! (on both accounts. because OH MAN have I fallen off the deep end.)
OK YOUR FEELINGS ARE GREAT AND ALL BUT WHO ARE THEY???????
L to R: harry styles, liam payne, louis tomlinson, zayn malik, niall horan
no really they're a real band full of real humans
PART I: WHO IS WHO THEY ALL LOOK LIKE FETUSES W/ HAIR!!!
(spoiler alert they ARE all fetuses w/ hair)
1. niall horan
GIVES NO FUCKS
TINY HUMAN WITH BRACES. why do you have braces though. I want to find you sexually alluring but I had braces when I was 8.
his twitter is a fucking goldmine
I have a really hard time objectifying him because he looks the youngest (yet somehow isn't!) and I have some dignity (if you squint) except that I recently read girl liam/eats out like a champ niall and now anything is fair game. also I saw bon iver and one of his live musicians looked like the lovechild of niall and beck and suddenly I GOT IT.
he approves of me finding him a viable sexual companion.
2. zayn malik
trigger warning: FACE
"people who are not into 1D still have the hots for this dude. that is his power." - probably going to go down as the greatest thing I have ever said tbh
YOU UNDERSTAND ME
who even looks that good after a 23 hour flight???????
GOD, LIMP WRISTIN' IT LIKE A 70S GAY PORN STAR.
(don't worry. we'll talk about the gay later.)
his eyes actually sparkle. I. what.
zayn also has a complete and utter disdain for the activity that is life
it makes me want to sing out the lyrics in 'yellow' by coldplay where he is like LOOK AT THE STARS LOOK HOW THEY SHINE FOR YOU because they are all shining for him according to me.
3. liam payne
as in GURL U R CAUSING ME IT
apparently known as the voice of reason in the band and affectionately called "daddy direction" by them
NO I'M NOT MAKING THIS UP
he's probably what would result if geneticists could get their shit together and breed sunshine and kittens
said in reference to the rest of his band. throws self off cliff in irrational rage.
I WOULD BE REMISS IF I LEFT OUT THIS GEM
4. harry styles
have you ever felt like setting yourself on fire and masturbating at the same time?
STYLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you probably already know about this one because he's a lady killer who loves older women and said "pussy" on national television.
he's the one with the hair. and the face. and the DSLs.
he is a filthy pervert who loves being naked (and lives with another member of the band. BUT DON'T WORRY. we'll get there.)
he also cackles maniacally at inconvenient times
is a petulant child
does not know how to dance
and makes me shout "GO BACK TO THE DEPTHS OF HELL FROM WHENCE YOU CAME" on a daily basis
a lot of my attraction is his wardrobe.
the other part is this bullshit
my friend renee was having a mid-life crisis over finding him so attractive and wrestling with possible pedophiliac tendencies and my only response was, "just let this angel of satan light the beacon to hell"
yes you might have a mid-life crisis over this. HE IS EIGHTEEN. I'm...not eighteen. I'm trying to come to terms with it and not let it affect the rest of my life. it's not working.
but I mean lbr, harry is literally my type to a fucking T. aka a stick figure with hair.
so pleased with himself for being a little shit.
5. louis tomlinson
this is where my finger points whenever I need someone to blame for all of my problems.
no I'm not joking. that is a face that could solve global conflicts or bring on mass destruction. with great power comes great responsibility, tomlinson.
HE RIDES A BIKE!!!!!!!!! (aka RIP me)
supermodel - ru paul what is a not sleazy way to say "I want to suck your dick" though
take off your clothes - morningwood I don't care about a lot of things, but one of the things on that small list is louis drunk.
he's drunk here and also
LEMME SMANG IT ok not louis but, your thoughts are my thoughts harry.
I've devolved completely WRT saving photos (I mean I can only name them 'louis i hate you' so many times) and this one is literally "got the body of a goddess.png" most of my life as of late involves me singing extremely degrading rap songs from the early 2000s at this dude.
which segues nicely into a little subsection called "louis tomlinson's ass"
in a recent interview, he said that a secret was he has a very womanly bum
HA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HA HAHA HA THAT IS NOT A SECRET
louis is also my lifespiration. my queencesa. my little shining star of sass.
this is probably my favorite gif. not just out of 1D related gifs, out of every single gif ever.
UR SHADE GIVES ME LIFE LOUIS TOMLINSON
so, if my math is right, at this point you should be in love with these guys. you should be abandoning all hope of ever finding a regular person who measures up to them. you should be writing "mrs. harry styles" on all your really important college lecture notebooks and setting them as your phone and computer backgrounds and getting black out drunk just to handle them performing on live television and musing that sure, you don't exactly have child-bearing hips but you think you'd crank out a tiny human if half its genes were that of a member of this band.
yes well, TOO BAD. this band is as heterosexual as elton john's fanny pack. so, not even in the least.
PART II: UR SO GAY
also known as: for a group of 5 supposedly straight dudes, you guys touch and stare a lot
listen to
this as you actually watch your will to live drain from your body.
kind of trying to ease into the gay with only a little bit of unnecessary touching. it's just really difficult to ease into something that all but smacks you in the face.
we could blame this on them being on a boat and IT'S SCARY! and we just don't want to get injured.
or we could blame it on the more logical reasoning that they are physically incapable of not touching each other basically 24/7
NUMBER ONE ON ITUNES CUDDLE!!!!!!!! no really. that is a thing they did.
I question the logic of people heavily involved in gay shipping who aren't letting these princesas in their life. they are walking fanservice.
LOOK AT THEM ALL SO CLOSE AND ZAYN HANGING ALL OVER THEM. this is a regular occurrence.
they laugh together on couches! it's adorable!
liam's now caught the bug! must grab on to all my bandmates!
they switch clothes during live performances
actually they switch clothes during real life too. of course I don't have any pictures handy but there's one hoodie that made its way through all 5 of them and multiple sweaters they've all shared between at least 2, if not 3 or 4 or 5, of them. (clothes sharing makes me want to google map directions to the nearest pit with a kraken waiting for me at the bottom, btw)
THEY HOLD FUCKING PUPPIES. (actually sidebar: go watch
this and then try to tell me you don't love them. THEY SING WITH PUPPIES.)
gayer than a fruit basket sent from hemingway to fitzgerald.
no really. I'm pretty sure the only way this could be more homosexual is if they actually filmed their five way orgies.
hangin' out partially naked together...........right around when they first met
ok this one they just all look really good because hnnnnnnnnnng suits
harry and liam. probably how they dance together at the club.
where are my threesomes tho.
literally saved "holy shit this band is gay"
liam and louis is a gr8 pairing because no matter how many times it happens you're still surprised when their gay hits you in the face
(still keepin' it sassy. never change louis.)
(HARRY IS SO JEALOUS OMG)
louis also seems like he likes to playfully hurt liam which............hello public foreplay
but it's all in good fun cause louis loves liam
where is my piano sex fic. WHERE IS IT.
this segues nicely into liam/niall
I just. cannot. with this photo. gazing into each other's eyes, niall with his hip cocked. catering to my interests for $200 alex: what is this band?
also liam/zayn is a beautiful thing because zayn is POSSESSIVE.
greatest gif in the history of gifs. this is a U IN DANGER GURL moment if I have ever seen one.
look at liam stare tho!!!!!!!!!! it's almost always zayn so, you know. when this happens. it's beautiful.
at this point in the post, I am assuming you are like this
except that you shouldn't be. but why kate? why shouldn't I be smacked in the face with all this gay?
BECAUSE YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET
PART III: BUT WHAT ABOUT CURLY TOP AND SWISHY HAIR
aka you haven't shown any gifs of them together, is that because they hate each other?
aka no it's because they love each other so much they get their own fucking section of this post
aka
so where do I even start with these two? because they give me a shit ton of feelings and they do gay stuff 25/8 and I'm thinking there's probably a 97% chance I made them up because nobody is this attuned to my heart's desires.
let's start with this gif. it looks pretty intimate, right? like you're intruding on something really personal like an anniversary or something. no NO this is basically the first time they met. when they got put into a band, harry took louis into his arms and twirled him around.
I am going to need a moment. OR TWO MILLION.
this is not necessarily harry/louis. just..........louis ur awful good with ur hands.
oh harry! so are you. (please stare more louis, I double dog dare you.)
lightsaber battles!!!!!!!! the lightsabers are their penises. if that was unclear.
this is like, week 3 or something of the x factor. they've known each other less than a month basically.
this is saved as 'thisconvincedme.gif' because even when I was pretending like these charming idiots were never going to happen to me, I would see them on my dashboard all the time, and I had no interest in knowing who they were but I still said "wow those 2 dudes are GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY" at this gif
no this is what it's like in my head on a consistent basis
seeing their faces and shouting this at them
so from here on out, all their homosexual happenings won't be in any order. because I can't be fucked to try and sort them all out. it's hard enough maintaining any shred of sanity as I make this post. tbh.
basically, the undercurrent of their entire relationship is, yes we touch everyone in the band but look at the way we look at each other
normal straight male friends on the public subway
ass grabbing on stage
this honestly looks like a celeb couple paparazzi shot. caught off guard! celebrities: they're just like us!
when I woke up and checked the internet and this had happened, honestly considered just going back to bed. with an entire bottle of ambien.
I call this the e-harmony series because I like to think that singing was a big cover and the x factor is really just a dating show that brought these 2 together
harry is a goober but he's doing this at louis. louis' got that 1 thing.
spoiler alert it's a penis
AT THE BRIT AWARDS!!!! IN SUPER PUBLIC!!!!!!!
these are two separate interviews. harry has done this at louis on multiple occasions.
go be
likecharity's friend RIGHT NOW so you can read her
harry is turned on by suspenders and then eventually louis ties him up with them. yeah, still crying about it.
permission to die, sir
well this is DOMESTIC AS SHIT. the best part is, THEY LIVE TOGETHER IRL. harry is a fabulous cook and louis, on live morning television, whispers in his ear asking him how to whisk. but I mean, more importantly. THEY LIVE TOGETHER IRL. there was an interview where they asked harry in so many words if louis is a good flatmate (i.e. does he cook? does he clean? is he the messiest? does he make his bed?) and harry said basically not really he's the messiest and he never does anything. and then they asked if he'd rather live with anyone else in the band and he just got this smug ass grin on his face and said NOPE.
losing my will to live
same tho
look at him lean back into harry when he realizes he's stroking his arm
there should really be a subsection in this called "watch harry stare at louis as if all 9 planets orbit around him" but I am lazy and unorganized so you're just gonna get it falling on you like a ton of bricks when you least expect it
this is when they were still on the x factor!!!!!! why are they so comfortable with each other/destroying my sanity???????
secrets secrets are no fun secrets are for everyone
please tell us about how you guys just did it in the shower
modern day jack and rose
they go on dates!!!!
wrapped up like presents. god's personal gift to my life.
pretty sure louis has a boner as harry takes off his shirt
harry uses sticky eyes!!!!!!!! IT'S SUPER FUCKING EFFECTIVE!!!!!!!!!!!
thumbs up if ur in a relationship with the person next to u
this actually happens in interviews all the time
not joking
this also happens. LOOK AT HIM STARE!!!!!!
but you know, sometimes it's louis that's staring. and he just goes balls to the wall and makes kissing faces at harry
AND NOW
LET'S JUST WATCH THIS INTERVIEW AS IT PROGRESSES
hahahahaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahhahhahahahahahahahahahahah reaching all the way across the group to fist bump
get ur hands lower louis. but can you???????
DENIED, ZAYN.
tbh all I hear when I see this is
just a friend by biz markie and one time that song came up on my dash so I reblogged it and added this gif and my friend jak reblogged it from me and tagged it "this is kind of painful actually" and yeah jak, your feelings are my feelings all day every day
just hanging out with a baby
see what I mean about this just happening in their interviews
OH MY GOD THOUGH even when he's not there, he's still there
more super heterosexual moments from the "hanging out on a balcony together" series
physically impossible for them to not touch apparently
yeah hit him around a little bit. (not joking this is saved "where is the fic" because, as usual, WHERE IS IT)
THIS MAY BE MY FAVORITE HARRY/LOUIS MOMENT OF ALL TIME
why kate it's just this really quick look or whatever I mean this is a pairing where they all but make out in interviews how can this be your favorite
BECAUSE WATCH HIS FACE CHANGE THAT'S HOW he looks so visibly annoyed with the world just sassing off everyone and then he turns and looks at harry and it's just. gone. he is all lovely sighs and smiles again
louis tomlinson made me realize what love is. love is someone taking the bitch off your face.
WEARING HARRY'S CLOTHES dear god
more clothes sharing escapades
being inconspicuous around that person you're in love with: a book not written by harry and louis
genuinely lighting up harry's world like nobody else
I had a heart once. then I coughed it up in a rage.
ok I'll be honest with you. this isn't especially gay. they're both just doing it for me here.
my friend sam is constantly filling my tumblr inbox with shit like this. she must have made a deal with the devil for free concert tickets to see them or something because I swear, friends are not supposed to be this cruel!!!!!! and she's always asking me to write fic based on what she sends me and I always say yes because how can I not
and there is, of course, only 1 gif I can possibly end this with
WELL I WONDER WHY
BONUS CHAPTER: THEY WENT TO AUSTRALIA AND IT WAS THE BEST MOMENT IN ALL OF OUR LIVES
this is like, straight out of the notebook. GET IN THE WATER!!!!!!!
against a wall water sex. yes I now know what harry would look like doing that.
I really hope there is someone in this world who can carve some michelangelo style shit into tombstones. because this going on mine.
SO YEAH, YOU MADE IT THROUGH THIS POST
YOU'RE WELCOME
even though at this point you're probably like this
or
GOODBYE Y'ALL ENJOY YOUR DESCENT INTO MADNESS
