Albums!!

Hey guys!

So, as you saw the other day, I did my top ten books and I thought I'd make it into a little series so now I'm going to do my top 10 albums that kind of turned into 11 but oh well. SO, here we go!!

11) Hopes & Fears by Keane

Track List:
1) Somewhere Only We Know
2) Bend & Break
3) We May As Well Be Strangers
4) Everybody's Changing
5) Your Eyes Open
6) She Has No Time
7) Can't Stop Now
8) Sunshine
9) This Is The Last Time
10) On A Day Like Today
11) Untitled 1
12) Bedshaped

Now, this album was released way back when in 2004, holy crap, it's almost twelve years old. Anyway, this was the bands debut album and my mum went out and brought it straight away and played it on a loop so it was kind of drilled into me. One day, I was in the front room with her and we were listening to this and it was the first song (Somewhere Only We Know) and I was just so mesmerised and it was one of the first songs I remember falling for.

I feel as if Keane are one of those bands that people know their songs without realising who it's by. You might say that you don't know Somewhere Only We Know but if you listened to it, you'd know it straight away. They are THAT band. It happened the night I saw them, in the day we were listening to all of their albums and I'd forgotten Bend & Break was by them and it came on and I was like, oh my gosh this is by them!

Another song that really gets me on this album is We May As Well Be Strangers. It didn't when I first started listening to it but it does now that I'm older and done that whole relationship thing. I'm not going to go into details of that but if you listen to the song, you'll easily pick up the message behind it. It is a beautiful song, the actual music for it is beautiful, I think that's mainly what sparks the tears in the corners of my eyes. Also, She Has No Time, the music for it is so beautiful and it isn't a single from the album so people seem to ignore it which means it is seriously underrated. Honestly, it's a really powerful song and I can feel the emotional in Tom's vocals.

If you don't know this band, I honestly highly recommend going to look them up and listen to them. All of their albums are amazing but in my opinion, Hopes & Fears is the best but I think that's because of the memories attached to it.

Favourite songs: Somewhere Only We Know, Bedshaped, We May As Well Be Strangers and She Has No Time.

10) Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park

Track List:
1) Papercut
2) One Step Closer
3) With You
4) Points Of Authority
5) Crawling
6) Runaway
7) By Myself
8) In The End
9) A Place For My Head
10) Forgotten
11) Cure For The Itch
12) Pushing Me Away

So, this album is a little different from Hopes & Fears but it is again an important album to me. It was released in 2000 and my dad was and still is really into that kind of music so it's been around me my whole life, he raised me on bands like Linkin Park, Paramore, Foo Fighters, Green Day, but in about 2006, when I was almost eight, my dad sat me down and we listened to this album from start to finish without saying anything, we just listened and since that day, when one of us has had a bad day, we sit and listen to this album so that's why this is an important album to me.

My favourite songs on the album are Pushing Me Away and One Step Closer. In year ten, I listened to this album a lot, there were a lot of bad days and these two songs just seemed to stand out for me. One Step Closer described how I was feeling, the things people were saying to me, was taking me to the edge, my edge. So, when things started to get rough, I shut my eyes and played that song and made myself calm down a bit.  Pushing Me Away is just a powerful song, it's a song that I like to belt out at the top of my lungs when I'm frustrated or sad. It's just a great song and I really like it.

In my opinion, this is definitely the best Linkin Park album. It's such a strong album and I don't see myself getting bored of it.

Favourite songs: Pushing Me Away, One Step Closer, In The End.

9) Brand New Eyes by Paramore

Track List:
1) Careful
2) Ignorance
3) Playing God
4) Brick By Boring Brick
5) Turn It Off
6) The Only Exception
7) Feeling Sorry
8) Looking Up
9) Where The Lines Overlap
10) Misguided Ghosts
11) All I Wanted
12) Decode

From the moment I was introduced to this band, I feel in love but that just grew and then grew a lot more when this album was released. To this day, I still think this is their best album and it's going to take a LOT to top it for me. I know all of the songs inside out and is another album that reminds me a lot of my dad as we spent many nights talking about how amazing this album is and he showed me the band in the first place.

When I first heard the album, The Only Exception was my favourite song but the more I listened to the album, I realised my favourite was All I Wanted, closely followed by Misguided Ghosts and this happened in the early hours of one morning when I was listening to the album, All I Wanted started playing and I just wanted to jump up and sing it as loud as possible but it being three in the morning made that impossible.

Again I feel like Paramore is one of those bands where people know more of their songs then they think they do. And, I really like all of their albums but this one is definitely my favourite as I just really like all of the songs on this album and I find that rare with me, there's normally a good one or two that I don't really get on with but that's different with this album and I think that's because all of the songs are different and sound different.

Favourite songs: All I Wanted, Misguided Ghosts, The Only Exception, Decode.

8) Nothing Personal by All Time Low

Track List:
1) Weightless
2) Break Your Little Heart
3) Damned If I Do Ya (Damned If I Don't)
4) Lost In Stereo
5) Stella
6) Sick Little Games
7) Hello Brooklyn
8) Walls
9) Too Much
10) Keep The Change, Ya Filthy Animal
11) The Party Song (The Walk Of Shame)
12)  Therapy

This album is a masterpiece. From start to finish. It's a masterpiece. I honestly had a hard time putting it here at number eight but I had my reasons. Anyway, this album is wonderful. It has a load of different songs; silly ones like Damned If I Do Ya and emotional ones like Therapy so it has a song for whatever mood I'm in. If I'm listening to this album from start to finish; I'll be jamming out for the first few songs and then be in tears by the end but I love it. I love everything about this album, from the big pop-punk songs to the emotional ones. It's an album that helped me through some shit and this band brought me to some of my closest friends.

My favourite song from this album is Therapy and I know that's a really cliche answer but I have my reasons for it that I'm not ready to go into. I love the beautiful music behind it, the minor key that it's in honestly gives me goosebumps. Hearing it live is also a very special experience, I'm normally grabbing the closest person to me, sobbing but I love screaming the lyrics back to them and hearing everyone else around me doing it too.

I feel like All Time Low is one of those bands when even though you say you don't like them, there are songs by them that you love and seeing them live is always an amazing experience. And for first time listeners, Nothing Personal is the album that I'd recommend to everyone because I love it so much and I'm sure most Hustlers will agree with me that it's a great album and that they'd recommend it to others.

Favourite songs: Therapy, Break Your Little Heart, Sick Little Games, Stella.

7) Somewhere Somehow by We The Kings

Track List:
1) Queen Of Hearts
2) Find You There
3) I Feel Alive
4) I Like It
5) That Feeling
6) See You In My Dreams
7) Die Young, Live Forever
8) Pheonix Hearts
9) Any Other Way
10) Say It Now
11) Art Of War
12) Sad Song

So, We The Kings. Where to even start with this band, they will always be one of the best bands in my opinion and without them, I wouldn't be close to Shayla and she's one of the most important people in my life. When I first heard this album, it was at midnight the moment it came out and I listened to it from start to finish with all my lights off and it just all hit me how beautiful it was.

I finally saw We The Kings back in 2014 at Slam Dunk and it was one of the best experiences of my life. I honestly just love this band and Somewhere Somehow is such a good album, it starts off with Queen Of Hearts which is a really upbeat tune and ends with the more slow, beautifully heartbreaking Sad Song which honestly made me cry the first time I heard it. It also has really motivating songs such as Art Of War which to this day, I still want lyrics tattooed on me from and Any Other Way; both songs motivated me to carry on through the way at one stage. Some of the songs on the album, it took me a while to get into but I did and now I love every single song on there.

This is the album that also got my brother into We The Kings and I hope one day we can see them together.

Favourite songs: Art Of War, Any Other Way, Queen Of Hearts, Die Young Live Forever

6) Bleed American by Jimmy Eat World

Track List:
1) Bleed American
2) A Praise Chorus
3) The Middle
4) Your House
5) Sweetnes
6) Hear You Me
7) If You Don't, Don't
8) Get It Faster
9) Cautioners
10) The Authority Song
11) My Sundown

If you know me, you'll know that I love Jimmy Eat World with every single fibre of my being because I do. This is a band that I feel really brought me and my dad together musically and this album really has a special place in my heart when it comes to music. From start to finish, I adore it. Obviously, the main song on this album is The Middle and I know why, as well as it being probably the most popular Jimmy Eat World song, it's such a jam. The lyrics are actually meaningful and when I was going through my 'emo' phase when I was 13, it was a song that helped me out a lot and this album means a lot to my dad which means it means a lot to me.

A truly beautiful song on the album and I think underrated song on the album is Hear You Me. Honeslty, this is one of those songs that never fails to give me goosebumps every time I listen to it. It makes me cry and hearing it live was one of the best experiences of my life and I can't thank this band enough for what they've done. The whole album is full of great jams from Bleed American to The Middle to Sweetness then down to Hear You Me and My Sundown, I 10/10 recommend this album to anyone.

Favourite songs: The Authority Song, Hear You Me, My Sundown, The Middle.

5) Sounds Good Feels Good by 5 Seconds of Summer

Tracklist:
1) Money
2) She's Kinda Hot
3) Hey Everybody
4) Permanent Vacation
5) Jet Black Heart
6) Catch Fire
7) Safety Pin
8) Waste The Night
9) Vapor
10) Castaway
11) The Girl Who Cried Wolf
12) Broken Home
13) Fly Away
14) Invisible
15) Airplanes
16) San Francisco
17) Outta Space/Carry On

Now, I know that 5SOS are one of those bands that people seem to hate for no reason and honestly, the reasons they give are normally pathetic but I can honestly hand on my heart say that I love this band and Sounds Good Feels Good is one of the most amazing albums I've ever heard especially from such a young band. It starts off with the huge, major, upbeat song; Money and then makes it's way down to Outta Space/Carry On which is so beautiful and will never fail to make me cry.

One of the reasons I love this album is that I believe from about Vapor, it tells a story and then at the end, Carry On, is there to tell us that it doesn't have to end badly, that we can get through anything and everything and that they'll be there for us and our friends and family we surround ourselves with will be there for us too. That's the first impression I got from this album and I sobbed my heart out the first time I listened to it through. From Money to emotional songs like Broken Home and Invisible. I believe this album was written completely for the fans and it's just so beautiful, I'd like to thank 5SOS for making this album as I love it and some of the songs contine to help me step through life more than people will ever know.

The first single from the album; She's Kinda Hot was a title that left me unsure and I think many people had that impression but it started this whole movement of The New Broken Scene which is a place where them and us connect by music and it's a place where we can all feel safe and happy, that they're for us and it comes across in the song. "We're alright though."

Favourite songs: Waste The Night, Vapor, Castaway.

4) Nothing To Lose by Emblem3

Tracklist:
1) Just For One Day
2) Spaghetti

7) I Love LA
8) Sunset Blvd
9) 3000 Miles
10) Teenage Kings
11) One Day
12) Reason (Live)
13) Jaiden (Live)

Emblem3 are a band that probably have a bad name somewhere for being a boyband that arised from The X Factor (USA) but I don't care. I love this band so freaking much. They've taught me how to smile, how to keep fighting, how to be who I want to be and not who others want me to be and for that, I am truly thankful. And to be honest, they have a song called Chloe and I'm called Chloe sooooooooo.....

Anyway, this is just such a feel good album, I watched The X Factor USA from 2010 - 2012 because they showed it over here in the UK and I remember Emblem3 being on it and I absolutely just fell in love with them from their very first audition where they came out and sang Sunset Blvd which to this day, is still one of my favourites by them. The whole album just has this really great beach, summer vibe and I'm absolutely in love with it, no matter what mood I'm in, I can stick this album on and have a good sing and a good dance to it.

There are some emotional ballads on here too like 3000 Miles and Jaiden which I love both of. 3000 Miles is a song I'd absolutely love to hear live and I honestly cannot wait until they finally tour here and hopefully play it as well as Chloe because I need to be able to scream that song back at them at least once in my life. I don't know what it is about this band, they just honestly make me smile so much, they make all of my rainy days into sunny ones and I'll never be able to thank them enough for what they do for me.

Favourite songs: Spaghetti, Just For One Day, Girl Next Door, Chloe, 3000 Miles.

14) Runaway
15) Worry
16) Coming Home
17) Peace Of Mind
18) Written Off

Now, the reason that these two are together is that I honestly can't choose between the two of them. The Vamps are my favourite band in the whole entire world, they're the band that make me smile, they're the band that brought me loads of friends, they taught me how to be more confident, how to be happy and they honestly saved my life. There will never be a day where I'm not thanking this band for everything they've done for me, from writing music that has honestly touched me to bringing me a load of amazing friends that I adore. I know this isn't talking about the albums but it makes me really emotional truly thinking about the amount of stuff this band has truly done for me, I wouldn't be the person I am today without them coming into my life. Without finding James' covers back in 2010, to seeing them headline on their second world tour, I can't comprehend just how much I love them.

Meet The Vamps, their first studio album is more of a summer vibe kind of album. It has hits like Can We Dance and Somebody To You on it and then it's slowed down for ballads such as Lovestruck and Risk It All. I love this album from start to finish and yes sometimes I get frustrated by having to hear Can We Dance over and over again or Wildheart but secretly, I have a lot of love for them. From watching them having to teach us all the words to Cecelia to now bringing New Hoep Club under their wing for them to shout it out to the crowd on the Wake Up tour. I'm so proud of this band and they've come a long way from covers on YouTube and I adore this album, it immediately picks up my mood and it's definitely one of my go to albums when it comes to putting something on to listen to.

Wake Up, their second studio album I just love it. I know the sound is different from Meet The Vamps but I don't care, I still love it. From the first time I heard Wake Up, I knew that I would love this album and it really didn't disappoint me. From screaming out Wake Up, to making fools of ourselves rapping to Volcano to crying through things like Worry and Stolen Moment, this album is a masterpiece to me. My favourite song is definitely Runaway, when I was listening to the album; it was just that song. As soon as I heard it, I knew that was the one and lately, I've found a whole love for Peace Of Mind, hearing that song immediately just makes me smile and puts me in a good mood. I am looking forward to the future and to album three and another tour.

Favourite Songs: Last Night, Risk It All, Lovestruck, Dangerous, Runaway, Worry, Written Off, Peace Of Mind, Be With You, Burn.

2) Handwritten by Shawn Mendes

Tracklist:
1) Life Of The Party
2) Stitches
3) Never Be Alone
4) Kid In Love
5) I Don't Even Know Your Name
6) Something Big
7) Strings
8) Aftertaste
9) Air
10) Crazy
11) A Little Too Much
12) This Is What It Takes
13) Bring It Back
14) Imagination
15) The Weight

I don't even know where to start. Shawn Mendes, such a joy to this world. I remember watching one of his vines for the first time to him doing Cecelia with The Vamps to Magcon to Handwritten, I'm so proud of every single thing that he's done and I think he's such a good role model for this generation, he's so hard working and look at all he's achieved and at only seventeen. I have a very personal reason as to what Shawn Mendes did for me that only Dani and Amy know but I do love him to pieces and again, I'd like to thank him for everything he's done for me and for writing Handwritten because it's such a beautiful album.

When people think of Shawn, they probably immediately go to Stitches as it's the biggest song and it's an amazing song but honestly, I go to Never Be Alone, to this day, that song still makes me curl up in a fetal position and sob (I dread to think what it'll be like when I actually see it live next week) and Aftertaste as I just love that song. I love the whole album, from Life Of The Party to The Weight I could happily listen to it over and over again without getting board of it. I think it's amazing how most of it is him and his guitar, creating a beautiful acoustic vibe that gives me shivers because his voice is just so beautiful and I'm so proud of every single thing that he's achieved. His vocals are just so raw and full of a beautiful emotion that really comes through when he sings.

Favourite songs: Never Be Alone, Kid In Love, Aftertaste, Stitches

1) Radio:ACTIVE by McFly

Tracklist:
1) Lies
2) One For The Radio
3) Everybody Knows
4) Do Ya
5) Falling In Love
6) POV
7) Corrupted
8) Smile
9) The End
10) Going Through The Motions
11) Down Goes Another One
12) Only The Strong Survive
13) The Last Song

Here we are, my favourite album ever made. Radio: ACTIVE by McFly. McFly have been in my life for a very, very long time and this album since it came out has been my favourite album in the world. I would happily listen to this album for the rest of my life if I had to choose only one album to listen to; it would be this one. From start to finish it's just brilliant and I can't wait to hear the full album in it's entirety when I see them in June as I think it'll just be magical. From Lies to The Last Song, it's just a great album.

Lies is a really good song to start the album with, a song that you can just belt out the lyrics to when you're extremely pissed off at the world around you. The Last Song is a really good song to finish the album with because well, it's called The Last Song but it's another song that you can really belt the lyrics out to and just cry to when you need to. Massive hits like One For The Radio and Do Ya are also on this album, great songs to sing to and dance around to and then there are some really powerful ballads like POV, Falling In Love, The End and Down Goes Another One. McFly are one of the most musically talented bands out there, from the guitars to the bass to the drums to the out of this world vocals and even down to the amazing stage presence. This band is amazing.

When I'm sad, I can put on Smile and well smile or Down Goes Another One when I'm really pissed off at someone and need to just shout out a song or The End when I need to have a really good cry, I can just curl up in a ball and put this song on and cry to it. Every single song on this album holds a really special meaning or memory to me and it's an album that I will never get board of and I'd honestly just like to thank McFly for writing it. I can't explain how much I really love this album and why, I just really do and I'd 10000000000000000000/10 recommend going ahead and listening to this album even if you're not a huge fan of McFly.

Favourite Songs: Lies, Down Goes Another One, The End, Falling In Love, POV, Corrupted.

So, there we go. My top ten albums that's actually eleven albums. I hope you enjoyed it and I hope you find a new album that you love from the list!!

Until next time,

Onwards and upwars,

December!!

Hey guys!!

How are you all today? 

So, am I'm sure all of you know already, it's December, aka, my favourite month of the year! It's is also a busy month, there is so much planned for me like I finish college on the 17th and that is the day my parents and brother are decorating all of my bedroom as a surprise for my birthday that falls December 23rd. It's finally here again. And then, obviously the big event of the month, Christmas and I am really looking forward to it this year.

December is a great month because it may be really stressful but people are always happy which makes me really happy. Although, at the moment I am more stressed than happy but that's more because of the amount of work I need to get done. But that's besides the point, it's almost the best day of the year and all of my shopping is finished which is a bonus for me! 

I'm only going to one gig this month too and that is the BBC music awards with one of my best friends; Dani and I am really, really looking forward to it. There is so many big names there like Mumford & Sons, OMI, One Direction and a lot more so it's going to be an amazing night. Well worth the panic buy one Thursday morning haha! I'll be doing another blog post about it all though so I'll keep you updated on that one, please let me know if any of you lot are going!

So, what did I like during November?  

First thing, my favourite band in the world; The Vamps, released an amazing album named 'Wake Up' and you should all go and listen to it. Been following these boys since the start and I'm really proud of them!

More music, on the 13th, One Direction released their new album 'Made In The Am' which is also amazing, like, it's so good. My favourite on that album is still Infinity, I just think it is a really beautiful song and I'm really proud of these boys too, I feel like I watched them grow up. On the same day, Justin Bieber released Purpose and do I need to say more? I fell for it straight away, it is so good. Great one Bieber. 

Last item here, Sounds Good Feels Good by 5SOS was released at the end of October and it most definitely in my top 5 albums for this year. I just really like all the songs on it, these boys worked so hard on it and they deserve all the things they get.  

Also in November, I rekindled my  love for 02L and all the members. I mean, I've always kept up with Connor's channel, he was always my favourite out of the group but I watched all of their solo videos that I hadn't seen yet and now I'm obsessed with them all again, oops!! 

So that's it really, my whole life is just college, Youtubers and bands haha! Anyways, I'll be posting again hopefully around the 11th so I'll see you all then!!

Fangirls. Rant.

Hi guys,
So, as you have probably gathered, this is going to be a rant and I don't know how long it's going to be so here we go...Okay so, listen in you lil shits ;)

The 'Daddy' kink, 

Okay so I have a question...Why? Why is this a thing? It's honestly very weird and disturbing. Whoever came up with this daddy kink thing has a weird mind. Band members are NOT your 'daddy!' If you call band members daddy, you honestly need to stop it because they don't find it cool, they find it really creepy so please for your own sake and dignity, stop it.

Oh this one should be fun, boundaries, 

People need to learn that there are boundaries between yourself and your idol. Newsflash, they do not need to share every single little detail of their personal lives with us through social media etc. They are all people just like you and I, they have a right to have a personal life as well as the life they share with all of us through social media and that. 

There are also physical boundaries. When you meet your idol or a celebrity or anybody, there is a physical boundary between you and them. If they don't want to hug, then you don't hug, do not make them uncomfortable. Do not touch them because it's fucking boundaries. Let them have some personal space because they're people just like you, do not act like animals.

Hating of the other half, 

Hey guys, I have a question for you all. Imagine that you're a celebrity and you're with somebody who you're head over heels in love with but all of your fans hate on them, how do you feel? Does it make you feel good? No, no it does not so why hate on other people's other half? It must make them feel like absolute shit and you're the one causing that, it shouldn't make you proud of yourself. 

Example time, Ashton and Bryana. All of the 5SOS fam know what Bryana said about them and yeah but you know what? That's in the past. I don't have the best opinion on Bryana but I would never ever send the girl hate. Ashton is happy, she makes him happy. Surely if you're a fan, all you want is for him to be happy and not hate on the person that makes him happy. Planning to actually throw eggs at the girl in the most fucking disgusting thing that I've ever heard that the 5SOS fam have planned. You are the reason the whole fanbase gets a bad name because it's honestly awful that you'd plan to do something like that. Also, James and Kirsty. I love James McVey he is just about my favourite person in the world, and hearing about the fact loads of fans threw insults at Kirsty just because they don't like her made me really sad. Yes, she made some mistakes first time round but you do not insult her because it's hurting her and it's hurting James and it honestly needs to stop. 

Respect the people that make your idol happy. It's not their fault that you're jealous.

Hate within the fans,

Hating on other fans within the fanbase is not cool and it does not make you look big. It makes you look like an asshole to be honest. 

The thing that annoys me the most in this area is hating on fans who have met the band/celebrity. It really, really annoys me. It annoys me so much because you're hating on them because you're jealous of them and it's ridiculous. You pick on somebody's appearance or personality just because of the fact you're jealous that they've met the person you want to meet. One day you're going to meet them too so just be nice to the people who have yeah? Thank you. 

A fanbase is meant to be a nice place where we all make friends and share stories with each other and be nice to each other but that's not what it's like anymore. A fan should not be scared to make themselves known to other fans because they're scared of what others might say to them. It's horrible to see and it should not be the case in a fanbase. Just be nice to everybody around to you and make friends within your fanbase. The people that I've met through the bands I love are some of the best people I've ever met. Ever.

"14 Year Old's"

Okay, I'm probably going to get loads of hate for this but here we goooooooooo....

A few days ago Ashton Irwin did an interview for a magazine where he said something like '14 Year Old chicks don't judge your drumming' and yes of course, as the 5SOS fam always do, people overreacted to it. What Ashton said wasn't wrong really because let's face it, a lot of the 5SOS fam like 5SOS because they think they're hot. Yes, not all of the fam are 14 year old fangirls but a lot of what 5SOS see is probably just people screaming, telling them they're hot and begging them for follows on twitter so you can't be mad about it because let's face it, it's true. 

"They're really hot, who cares about the music, lol?!" 

The most annoying phrase that has ever come out of a fangirls mouth. The music is the essence of the band, I know, I know it's a huge shock. When I get into bands, the first thing I do is listen to the MUSIC and decide whether I like that band or not. I don't find a band, find loads of pictures of them and then decide I like them just because they're really "hot." A band or musician is doing what they're doing because they love music and want it to be their lives, they're not doing it to impress a load of horny fangirls who think they're really hot. Bands and musicians are about music and that's what their fans should be focusing on. When I listen to a band, I love listening to the wholesome drum beats and those beautiful guitar solos and those strong bass lines, I don't care what the band looks like, I just love the music.

"I've liked them longer than you, you're just a fake fan"

There are so many things wrong with saying this. 

First of all, just because you've liked them longer or liked them "from the start" does not make you any better than any other fan. If you try to claim that you've liked them longer so you're a better fan, you're a bit of an asshole. It doesn't matter how long you've liked a band, if you've liked them for ten years or ten seconds, if you enjoy the music then you're a fan of that band.

For example, I've loved the band McFly for twelve years but I don't see myself as a bigger fan than somebody who became a fan today. We all love the band and that's what matters. That we love the band, what they stand for and the music they make. Their music makes me so fucking happy, they make me smile, they brought me loads of friends and they've made me laugh to no end and that's why I love them.

Never call somebody a "fake fan" because it will hurt them and it will hurt the band if they see you call them that. Also, you'll give yourself a bad name by saying it so really, it's not worth it at all. 

Shippers. 

Shippers. I ship Lashton as a friendship NOT as a relationship. Have you ever noticed that people start shipping two people romantically and then those two people see to become less close?

I'm going to use the biggest example here, Larry Stylingson. Now I was a Directioner between 2010 - 2012 and now I'm a Directioner again since about this time last year and I've always followed Directioners on twitter so 'Larry Stylingson' is something I see a lot. I've also seen a lot of people say that they don't seem as close as they use too and have you ever thought that might be because of all the shippers? Because it's making them uncomfortable? The fans are doing that to them and then getting upset because they're not as close anymore? Maybe dial down the shipping. It's honesty fine to ship people but don't post it everywhere to a point where the people are becoming very uncomfortable.

Begging for follows,

I follow a lot of people and some of those followers are the people who spend all of their time tweeting somebody begging them for a follow. Some people are on their like 5000th tweet to somebody begging them to follow them and quite frankly, it's fucking annoying. It spams everybody's timelines and the fact that you're sitting their begging constantly probably annoys the person that you're actually tweeting. 

If I see somebody doing it I either mute them or unfollow them because it annoys the crap out of me.

Mobbing

Not going to lie, this one is something that pushes my buttons more than anything else. 

It's not that hard, DO. NOT. MOB, BANDS. They are human beings, actual humans beings. You do not mob them. One time, I met a Youtuber called Brett outside New Street Station in Birmingham with my friend Georgia and he stood there and spoke to us for an hour and a half about anything and everything. Do you know why that happened? Because we did not mob him, we were really casual with him. Shayla and I met Olly Murs and stood there really casual about it and we went away, out of sight, and had a bit of a cry about it. 

I honestly do not understand how anybody could mob somebody. Can you not step back and realise what you're doing is wrong? I would much rather stand there for a couple of minutes and have a normal conversation rather than scream in their face and tell them I love them. It makes them uncomfortable and it is so cringy. Remember how a couple weeks ago Ashton was with his grandparents and he cried because he was so overwhelmed when fans mobbed them, that's not okay. Step back and see that mobbing somebody is not the way forward and it ruins it for everybody else. They won't want to come and meet other fans because they're scared of being mobbed. 

Also, when you mob a band then you can get injured of they could get injured. Would you want to be injured because everybody's running towards you and your idols? No. How would you feel if your idol stopped meeting people because other fans had hurt them? You'd feel like crap and be mad at the people that hurt them so listen, just don't mob them.

They're human beings, you're human beings so stop acting like fucking animals and be careful!!

Honestly, if you got offended by this rant, I'm not really sorry. 


Back to normal posts next week,

Bye guys!
