LIAM PAYNE UPDATE!!!
Niall has opened up about Liam dying, saying that he didn't know that when he said goodbye to Liam after Liam went to see his concert that he would never see him again. It made me cry. As for Bear's mother and Liam's current girlfriend, both opened up about how devastated they were to hear that he died (no surprises there). Even Simon Cowell paid a tribute, saying that Liam's son Bear should be 'proud of all the things his father achieved'. How can he be proud when he is grieving for a father he only knew for seven years? Really, Cowell?
GENERAL UPDATE
I cannot wait for Outer Banks Season 4 Part 2 to come out! Part 1 was so good, though the fact that JJ is not related to Luke was kind of weird, because they look alike. Seems a bit far-fetched, to be honest. And I know how the producers made it look like JJ's father is actually Chandler, but really? They do not look alike at all.
My obsession with House of the Dragon still will not go away, but I can't seem to find enough inspiration to continue my fanfic on AO3 since I heard the news of Liam's death. I don't think I'll be finding inspiration for a week or two to come. It's not that I'm angry, just in shock. And angry. But mostly in shock.
Sometimes I wish that being delusional would make me believe that he isn't dead. That he's somehow going to wake up at the morgue in Buenos Aires, tell the whole world it was all just a prank or a misunderstanding, and then go to rehab, get clean once and for all and continue releasing solo music and maybe, just maybe, manage to get the band back together. I wish that they had gotten back together years ago, or that they hadn't disbanded altogether. But they did, and nothing we can do will change the past.
So I want to ask you readers to have a minute of silence for Liam Payne. Turn off your music, turn off TikTok, turn off anything distracting you, and just remember all the times he made us laugh. All the times we loved his voice. All the times he sang with the most perfect pitch ever. How he made us smile and cheer, how he made us all love him despite not actually knowing him. It's a superpower, really.
Liam James Payne, born on the 29th of August 1993 and died on the 16th of October 2024, former member of One Direction, solo singer, a son, a nephew, a brother, a father.
May you be remembered.
Rest in peace, Lima Bean.
Signing out,
Alex <3
