take me as i am and i will take you as you are.

to my most beloved,

where do i even begin? words cannot describe the place you have in my heart and what you truly mean to me. i’m not sure how i ever survived a time where you weren’t in my life, it’s simply not possible anymore. you are an incredible light in my life, my reason to keep going, my biggest supporter, and dare i say the actual love of my life. you are the sun to my moon, the merlin to my arthur, the heart to my soul. thank you for choosing me and blessing me with your gorgeous self. i’m not sure how i got so lucky to be blessed with you.

i love you endlessly, happy anniversary @bellamyblakru <3

before bloodhound came and showed the voices of all four of them there was english love affair. bloodhound got the blueprint from it and it’s quite possible ela did run so bloodhound could walk

Happy new year to us 😌

This was like back in March, LOOK at that smile 🥹

I LOVE THIS PIC AAAAAAA the smile

taylor x 5sos parallels - part 5/?

can’t stop listening to 5SOS (the album) for the last YEAR. I can’t stop. they have soooo much talent, TFOFU was genuinely a masterpiece and it’s a shame the parallel between them and 1D in their early days kept a lot of people from taking them seriously because their last few albums have been so mature and absolute perfection

tears! is the big sister of tomorrow never dies

I love how the musical atmosphere of Carousel keeps building and building, adding more and more instruments and layers, then at the end it simplifies back down to the choir-like angelic vocal harmonies and Ash’s light tapping on the cymbal, then to only the synth drum beat. Beautiful.

Quite similar to what Starting Line (but that one was uptempo right out of the gate) did. The complexity and urgency increases until the end.

albums w/ similar vibes

which i'll possibly explain at a later day but no promises

my ultimate wish for this next era is they finally let Ryan go like they did Andy. I'm so sick of not getting the content we deserve. All the gatekeeping of tour diaries and now the crumbs of concert footage in that "documentary" yesterday. he was working for months on that? that's why we didn't get tour diaries? all that footage just goes in his vault now? Please.

Hello! I'm sorry to hear you felt disappointed by yesterday's special. However, I feel compelled to comment on a few objective points in your ask.

- "Live & Backstage in Amsterdam" was directed by James Tonkin, the same director (and production team, Hangman) they worked with on "The Feeling of Falling Upwards" (and the unreleased "Live in Brixton" special). Ryan was credited as director of the documentary footage and as a contributing editor (1 of 3) but the live footage and overall final program was not his work.

- Regardless of the particular creatives involved here (or in any given project for that matter), the fact remains that any directors, producers, photographers, etc are all hired hands operating with full input and specific direction from the band. The band chose to make this a hybrid concert film/documentary. The band chose to condense the setlist the way they did. The band chose this format over the traditional tour diaries. What happens to the unused footage will be determined by the band. Ryan is a friend but he is first and foremost an employee and the band owns that footage. (Likewise, the MYT diaries are not sitting on Andy Deluca's hard drive because he's "gatekeeping" or too lazy to edit it. If the band wanted them released, they'd be released.) All this to say, of course you don't have to agree with the decisions but it's important to clarify who your complaint is with.

- This concept of the band or their collaborators "gatekeeping" and fans not getting what we "deserve" is, to be blunt, entitled and immature. Being a fan does not make an artist indebted to you. They make music, if you feel so inclined, you listen. That's it. That's the extent of the contract. Anything beyond that is optional for both parties. Any content an artist chooses to release is not out of obligation or generosity, it's part business strategy, part artistic vision. Artists do not owe you anything. This band does not owe you anything.

luke wrote a song for his oldest brother!! and idk I feel like we hear more about jack as a fandom (maybe he’s more active on socials idk) but wasn’t ben the one who learned the guitar and inspired luke to take it up?? anyway just thinking about the eldest/youngest sibling bond and how you’re not super close in age as kids but you get older and that matters less and you start to realise all the things you have in common and the different perspectives you have on childhood memories and it’s just really special

Okay I could be crazy but…

These are some awfully similarly colored tank tops…

does someone in the UK want to order the cassette bundle for me please? i will pay the additional shipping to the US + for you to get yourself a bundle/something else
