One Direction, often shortened to 1D, were an English-Irish pop boy band formed in London in 2010. The group consisted of Niall Horan, Zayn Malik (until his departure in 2015), Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson. They became one of the best-selling boy groups of all time before going on an indefinite hiatus in 2016.

According to Harry Styles, he came up with the bands name.

In July 2024 ONE DIRECTION celebrated its 14 year anniversary. Over the years it became a global phenomenon with "Directioners" all over the world.

Night changes - (album: FOUR)

'Night Changes' is a mellow, introspective ballad from One Direction's fourth album. The song stands out for its tender lyrics about the passage of time and the endurance of love amid life's changes. It showcased the group's evolving maturity, both lyrically and vocally. The music video, featuring each band member on a date that goes comically wrong, became a fan favourite for its charming concept. Notably, it was the last single to feature all five original members before Zayn Malik's departure. (Source: www.heart.co.uk.com)

“We’re only getting older, baby / and I’ve been thinking about you lately / Does it ever drive you crazy / just how fast the night changes? Everything that you’ve ever dreamed of / disappearing when you wake up / but there’s nothing to be afraid of / Even when the night changes, it will never change me and you.”

After the band went on hiatus everybody pursued solo careers. On December 6th, 2019 LP1 was released through Hampton Records and Capitol Records. It is the only solo studio album Liam Payne released during his lifetime. "Teardrops" the first single of his next album was released on March 1st, 2024 (according to his Instagram account).

"I've had so many amazing experiences over the last few years which I've used as inspiration for this record -- it's been a real labor of love. I've worked with some incredibly talented people in the studio to produce an album that truly represents me which I'm very proud of"

Bandmember Liam Payne died on October 16th, 2024 (aged 31) after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He was there to support Niall Horan. Girlfriend Kate Cassidy left earlier that week and returned to the US. He fell approximately 13 or 14 meters and was left with injuries that were incompatible with life. Drugs were found in his blood but investigations are still ongoing...

After his body arrived from Argentina, he was laid to rest on November 20th, 2024 in the St. Mary´s Church in Amersham, Buckinghamshire, nordwest of London. Many people payed respect to the late singer. Family and friends alike: all (former) One Direction members, his girlfriend Kate Cassidy, even former ones, such as Cheryl Tweedy/Crow (with whom he shares seven year old son Bear), Simon Cowell and James Corden.

Payne is mourned worldwide. His legacy will live on. Gone but not forgotten! RIP LIAM James

I grew up loving One Direction. My childhood best friend and I danced around her room listening to “Midnight Memories” on her Disney Princes

50 Einträge! Erinnere mich als ich bei 25 war. Dritte gute Meldung des Tages. // 50 posts! Remember when I was at 25. Third good message of the day.

中国新年快乐 2025 !

Wishing you and your beloved ones a healthy, prosperous and joyous year ahead.

Got all three of those paw badges.

They´re looking good up there and the boop-o-meter is also looking good. Don´t drop it until you got it ;) .

Even thou I haven‘t participated in the first Boop event earlier this year (Ides of March, assassination/stabbing of Julius Cäsar) I am glad I can/get to do it now. Kinda suspected/hoped the return of the Boop and especially during Halloween (😈😝).

A tired but satisfied start into this day.

Might adapt this post later.

Have to spent some time away from the screen first.

............... ............... ...............

I booped some more and figured out all three "Boop-Slaps" (boop, super boop and evil boop) until the end.

Here´s my Boop-o-meter towards the end of this war:

Tried to change it some more but it´s fine.

It was fun. Any chances we get to repeat it? It might get old at some point but I am not there yet.

Stayed up to get last boops out and to see if/when the Boop/the Boop-o-meter vanishes and Tumblr returns to its regular form. Kinda feels like Cinderella with the Pumpkin carriage… Something is missing. Even thou it was only there for a day (24 hours ish) it brought people together and I gladly participated. Certainly a memorable experience for my first Halloween here on Tumblr.

Wondering how many boops I sent/received altogether. Are there infos regarding the number of boops you have to give/receive to get to eg. MAX, OMG, LOL, TUM BLR? Looking back I wish I had kept track of the journey aka the development of the "Pumpkin"/Boop-o-meter. It looks like one of my donuts btw. .

Anyways that leaves me to say:
