Anon Submission 1/2
seeing all this hamburglar hate now among his former asskissers, i’m like, ya late! i peeped that game back in 2013. fuck the haters, thank you for keeping it real about his shadiness long before it was cool to.
*puts on tinhat*
i remember the Great Zayn HQ Drought, when we’d get a million pix of the others and like one occasional lq pic of zayn, even when they were together. i also noticed they weren’t styling him as sharply as they were before and after the drought. i also noticed it conveniently coincided with harry’s rise as the “frontman”, riding on the haylor wave. harry also got a separate stylist and lowkey fashion sponsorships/free shit. he slowly slipped that in, starting with the scarves. (he made them look like ugly rags, i was shocked to see how much they were actually worth.)
folks say he’s been plotting since 2013, and i’m like naw, he was getting his game together in 2012 so he could start in 2013. even though sott has a slower than expected start, i still think he will come out on top in the end, because so much time and money and effort has been invested and tptb always fight for white boys to win. 
however, zayn’s achievement can never be downplayed bc he’s literally the only member of 1d that’s generated significant interest from the public on his own. harry networks hard, and has *always* been linked to celebs and socialites in the very beginning, that’s how he became significant tabloid material. zayn on the other hand was only known for himself in 1d. before the start of the hamburglar’s snake rise in 2013, zayn was getting a lot of individual attention for his style and his vocals. (and while harry’s public relationship benefitted him, zayn’s relationship only benefitted perrie, who modest wanted to be little mix’s “harry”, which is a whole another rant, let not get started today) it made no damn sense to me that harry would get sponsorships and fashion awards first. 
not to mention all the discrepancies in his public image. he made himself a blank slate, acts overly nice and polite. i can’t believe that people thought he’s completely clean and above his weed smoking bandmates, when he regularly hangs out with rude, obnoxious partiers and cokeheads. there was even an article, comparing a new generation of socialite partiers (including him by name) comparing them to an older generation… who were notorious for their drug use. (and lets not get into the “sniffling from year-round allergies *cough*”)
and there are times when his mask slips and i’m like hmm… like that ot4 interview with grimmy, when harry lost his voice and had to type on his phone… i remember when he tried to make a joke and nobody caught it, they moved on talking about something else. at first he looked so pleased with himself, then when no one got his joke he looked seriously offended. like, if he’s the type of person who doesn’t care what other people think, who isn’t trying hard to be cool, why would he look so offended? why would he be pressed that he isn’t the center of attention?
i remember another interview where liam and the interviewer kept going (about a football player?), and he couldn’t get a word in (he wanted to talk about having their scarf? lol). he was so sulky and pissed that he couldn’t bring the attention back to himself (i think there was another time, in that same round of interviews where liam was messing with him and put his foot  on him and he was so disgusted, like who the fuck is this bitch??? he recovered well, but i don’t think he was playing.) and i’m like damn, you this salty because you got ignored for a couple seconds? imagine, if zayn had that face every time y'all talked over him or shut him out the convo. he’d have perpetual bitch face!
…which reminds me of another time, when someone mentioned harry’s hair and liam joked that it was extensions and harry looked pissed. which also reminds me of another time when liam said that harry’s hair always looked the same, and harry was offended, enough for louis to step in and deflect. at the time i was like wtf, it’s not that serious??? but i’ve recently read comments ppl have been making about harry possibly balding and needing implants… i saw on on forum, they showed his biological father’s receding hairline, and how it’s improved now, possibily with finasteride and impants…. is that why harry is so sensitive about his hair? his hairline looks to be holding on, but perhaps he’s on treatment and is fearful it could get worse. (i don’t like him anymore, but i def would not wish balding on anybody, that shit can be traumatic and i don’t want to curse my own fave’s hairline)
and back to the perpetual bitch face, i think it’s wild how harry’s gotten away with resting/puckered bitch face in half his fan photos, no one says a damn thing. let that be zayn though, and they’d burn that shit to the ground. i remember folks giving liam hell, because he wasn’t smiling *inbetween* a long series of fan photos on the red carpet (i think?) even tho he smiled in every photo and he always gives fans big hugs and he’s the only one always shows up for 1d shit. 
i’m sorry to be up in your inbox like this, i really wasn’t expecting this to be so long, i guess i had a lot of feelings to get off my chest, lmao.
