It's official. I've gone off the deep end.

Over the last week or so, I've reached a level of investment with One Direction that has me in a constant state of emotional fragility ( Read more... )

When I watch the x factor things I get really protective and emotional about them. I just want them to be happy and being able to handle their success well (like without terrible additions, rehab, media being too invasive and so on). I also want them to forever and ever continue to be ridiculous and adorable and most of all friends with each other. Ugh, feelings.

Yes! Protective is exactly how I feel. DON'T SAY MEAN THINGS. Don't make Harry's face look like that!

It's exactly how I feel about the terrible people in fandom who tweet terrible, awful things to them and their girlfriends and family. LEAVE THEM ALONE. Just let them be happy and be together and be bffs eternally. IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK.

*deep breath*

It's terrible what I've been reduced to.

I KNOW. They are just people like the rest of us. Don't say stuff to them/about them that you wouldn't want someone to say to you/about you. Argh. ALSO, LEAVE THEIR FAMILIES, GIRLFRIENDS, FRIENDS and so on ALONE. Sometimes I wonder if there's something wrong with me when I rarely have this many feelings about stuff in rl?!

Just let them be happy and be together and be bffs eternally.
EXACTLY. Me too.

Don't worry I'm right there with you. I guess.

This post makes me weepy.

I've heard things, and seen some pictures and gifs from BEFORE. But. I cannot go back. I don't have that in me.

I mean. I do want to see some past interviews, though not ones from THAT long ago. Because if I'm going to roll in this fandom, I should perhaps know some of the past.

Yadda, yadda.

Holy. Fuck. I am looking forward to your stories.

BELIEVE ME, I UNDERSTAND.

At first I was all "I can't do it, I CAN'T." But someone linked me to the x factor video diaries and while I was a little pained at Louis's blatant need for attention ALL THE TIME, I just kept finding them all so adorably endearing. Honestly, I don't think any of their X Factor performances were all that good. They were just okay. They're so much better now, I think. But what I love is watching over the course of those ten weeks how then went from not knowing each other to forming these really great friendships.

SEE, INVESTED.

There's a lot of this (which is why I even bothered to watch):

I've seen some video diaries. And eventually hopefully will see them all. I can watch those. I just can't watch any actual XFactor things. Unless it's a small clip. Because I've seen the one where they get rejected. And cry. And then come back. And Louis jumps on Harry. And then I die. Because. Yes.

I definitely recommend it. It was a good use of 24 hours, I think.

Where did you get your hands on that? I've been talking myself into watching their performances on the show but so far the video diaries are as far as I've gone.

I'm pretty sure nobody asked to have all these earnest feelings about a band of teens. I am full-on invested in their well-being and want only good things to happen to them. They need to stay this happy and amazing and best friends forever! I get emotional and protective about them at random, it's terrible. I started out listening to their album for the laughs, and snorting at the cheesy lines and now I'm at this stage where I tear up during Louis' solo in Moments. *facepalm*

WE SHOULD ALL JOIN A SUPPORT GROUP, OK. Also, I am very very very excited about all the things you're writing! \o/
