Making friends on tumblr is weird. It’s like “Hi, I don’t know where you’re from but I know your kinks and exactly how depressed you were last Tuesday.”
My family saw Twisters last night and my youngest sister felt very strongly about the Tornado Wranglers YouTube channel and I woke up to this letterboxd review from her
i seriously don’t know how to take in the news about liam payne… i’m so so heartbroken to hear this but i feel like i shouldn’t be allowed to feel this way because of what’s been coming to light about him.
he was such a massive part of my childhood and such a prominent person during my most impressionable years and my teenage years were so full of one direction and forming crushes on those five boys. i lived and breathed the five of them, was so obsessed, my family would only talk to me about one direction. i had posters on the wall, every piece of one direction merchandise, every single and album released was dowloaded on my itunes, every tour that happened, i was there for.
our feelings are valid and we can still grieve what we once had and felt all whilst realising that not everything is as it seems to the public eye.
williams: "we're gonna give logan all the tools to succeed bc we believe in him"
williams currently:
i think one of the most frustrating things about this is that oscar’s first win should’ve been about his phenomenal start and his superb tire management but it’s now going to be completely overshadowed by talking about team orders
James Vowles is about to sell Logan to One Direction just so Williams can finance the spare chassis
nowhere else on the internet can you get content like this
In another universe the boys weren’t overworked, in another universe the boys were protected from older women and the media. in another universe maybe zayn stayed. in another universe the boys reconciled. in another universe they remained brothers until they were old and gray. in another universe liam recovered and found peace.
We need to have a serious conversation about the commodification of professional athletes.
Logan Sargeant’s car went up in flames after a nasty crash — a crash that he is incredibly lucky to have walked away uninjured from.
You would think that’s a good thing, right? No one could possibly be upset — after all, cars are replaceable but people very much are not.
Except “fans” (and I hesitate to even call them such) on Twitter and Instagram seem to disagree. They value an upgraded chassis more than the human being driving it.
And this isn’t something new — we see it happen all the time in other sports when athletes get injured and “fans” are more upset about how it’ll impact their fantasy lineup or favorite team than the actual human being having to deal with everything. But just because it’s not new doesn’t make it any less disappointing to see.
Athletes are people, let’s treat them as such.
Thank goodness Logan made it out okay, he’s more important than the car he drives ❤️
