R.I.P. Aaron Carter

The kid you loved wasn’t the man he became. You’re allowed to mourn the memory of your childhood you just lost even if you disapprove of the adult it made reality.

directioners i hope you’re okay. i’m sorry you’re never gonna get a reunion now. i know liam wasn’t a good person but nobody deserves to die like that and then HAVE TMZ POST PHOTOS OF YOUR FUCKING DEAD BODY.

excuse me???????????

Oh, Aaron.

He was the most troubled and messed-up person I've ever met in my life, but he was also one of the most charismatic. His Jukebox Tour, which is LOST to the Internet, was the most well-produced, danced, and arranged concert I've ever seen.

If he had different parents, things might not have ended this way, but I think that oversimplifies the demons that man had.

Everyone deserves a support system, and ALL child stars should have non-familial advocates in their corners to be that support system when their parents can't or, in the Carters' case, won't. I want to think Aaron was among the last generation of truly exploited child stars, but...

Anyway, I will never again, in my life, feel an adrenaline rush like realizing that I was seeing Aaron Carter's sandwich roll past on the craft services cart. That was the best night of my life.

If you're looking for song recommendations to mourn: "It's Just You," "To All the Girls," and "Hey You" are my favorites.

And rapping the entirety of "Aaron's Party" is my party trick forever.

💔

i do have to say that TMZ is a fucking plague and needs to be stomped out. the way they shared the news of michael jackson’s death before his family was notified, shared images of the kobe bryant helicopter crash before his wife had even found out it happened, and have now shared images of liam payne’s dead body for the world to see… just fucking slimy and utterly devoid of integrity

I used to watch and rewatch the One Direction video diaries from the X-Factor since they distracted me from my teen angst, and it's just so surreal that Liam is gone

“A spokesperson for the LA County Sheriff's Department told CNN they responded to a call for help at Carter's Lancaster, California home on Saturday morning around 11a.m. local time, where a deceased person was found at the scene.

Like we didn’t see this happening from 100 miles away.
