He makes me so...

Not him putting oasis and blur in there in a inspiral carpets letter to fans in 91 😭
Bonus:
brothers
obviously it was really sexist of liam to say “my brother actually loves me a lot and it’s his evil wife that’s keeping us apart and not my own actions or our horrible communication skills. it’s his bitch wife that’s the problem” but on another, very real level, noel really did come running back into his arms the moment that divorce happened so idk man maybe let’s not think about the implications of that
Gary asked where are they going to be in 10 years, Noel struggle with the question and said, “We all be still involved, who knows” and Liam said “I’ll be still in this band, me personally”
PD: Cute how Noel out of nowhere compliments Liam’s looks.
I've been thinking about the time Noel did that interview where he said, "Liam is in love with me," and it still blows my mind how he got away with saying that without so much as an arched eyebrow from the media or general public.
My guy, there is a MASSIVE difference between saying your brother LOVES you and is IN LOVE with you. Like, Grand Canyon sized difference.
Everyone hopes their siblings love them, even just a little bit. But being in love with someone has completely different implications altogether. Being in love with someone suggests a level of romantic desire and/or sexual desire, which is not something one would usually attribute to their baby brother... unless, of course, they knew for certain that it was correct because it had been acted upon or voiced out loud before.
Which leads to the other crazy part about that statement - "he hates that he's in love with me."
If the in love bit was a sucker punch, then that last line is an upper cut and knockout. NOEL DO YOU HEAR THE WORDS THAT ARE COMING OUT OF YOUR MOUTH??!
And once again, no one thought to go, whoa hold on a quick second. They just rolled with it and said, yeah sure makes sense.
Why. Why didn't someone pursue that line. Why didn't anyone have the balls to say, how do you know he's in love with you? Or better yet, Why are you projecting your feelings onto your little brother?
Because that statement of "he hates that he's in love with me" couldn't be further from the truth. If we all know anything about Liam, it's that he, no matter at what point their fued was at, he was never shy to admit how much he loved Noel or how fond of his brother he was.
And here's Noel - bitter, angry and yet, still incapable of letting go of the one thing he's so bitter and angry about - his little brother. Here's Noel with his happy Stepford life: his beautiful (if slightly crazy) wife, his 2.5 kids, the dog, the white picket fence - the dream life. But no matter how well he's doing or how happy he seems, he still can't get over that last hill:
He's in love with his brother. And he hates that he's in love with him.
what
(the first one is 'cast no shadow' [oasis] and the second one is 'we're on our way' [noel gallagher's high flying birds])
I can't tell if they're brothers or boyfriends
