this is objectively a shitton of projection but do you know what is messing me up about this even beyond just the general overload about louis playing with a baby is that this is on TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS louis pretending with a baby girl that she can punch someone out and i don’t know, my brother did that a lot with his son– fake roughhousing oh my god you can beat me you’re so strong!!!!!!!!– but not his daughter, like there was a hugely noticeable shift, because that’s not how we think about girls. 

but louis– TWICE– makes a little baby girl laugh with how strong she is, and he’s playing with her, but that play is also him teaching her to think of her baby body as powerful and active. like he is LITERALLY showing her that she can make a fist, that she doesn’t have to let people close to her, that she can push people back. play is how you teach babies to begin conceiving of their bodies and spaces, of their own capabilities, and oh my god louis knows about babies, louis knows about baby girls
look it’s just that the horsing around and teasing you and teaching you to fight him back isn’t i think something that louis only uses to protect and encourage his male bandmates. he already knew how to do all that. louis growing up with sisters is so so so important to me, louis knows how rough the world is and maybe he doesn’t always know how to be nice or soft but he’s on your side and if you make him strong well he’s gonna give all that strength back to you.

how do each of the 1d boys operate while playing sims? who intentionally kills their characters (asking this tho I think we both know the answer but…u know), who only cares about building pretty houses, who never uses motherlode bc they are morally upright???

agonyandagony:

This is a fun question. Going purely on my experience of playing the Sims like ten years ago and never since, here are my suppositions:

Obviously Niall meticulously builds his houses from scratch, carefully laying down and then moving walls until they suit his vision, tastefully decorating each room, giving good thought to the functionality of the space for his little computer friends. “The sink and the stove and the refrigerator should form a triangle in the kitchen for maximum efficiency,” he probably murmurs to himself. “But which fridge?” When he’s done making one house he just starts building another one, neglecting to actually play any of the characters.

You are right to assume that Louis is the monster who removes all the doors and toilets and then gleefully waits for his Sims to pee and catch on fire and die, but also once in a while he drunkenly feels bad (and a little spooked) about it when their ghosts come back to haunt his next victim. Occasionally he gets mad that you can’t just cut out the middle man and play as the Grim Reaper. Gets distracted and quits after he runs out of ways to cause mayhem, because there are only so many times you can take the ladder out of the pool while someone is swimming in it and have it still be fun.

Liam has absolutely no idea how to cheat, motherlode / rosebud codes included, and spends the whole time frustrated because he’s playing honestly and as a result his Sims have to like, diligently go to work all day, and he can’t buy the nice food, and how the hell did Niall afford to make his house look so nice?? All his Sims are always like, moderately happy, and usually don’t die or hate their lives or anything, but he always feels vaguely guilty that he can’t make them all achieve all of their goals. Probably plays a preloaded family.

Harry just makes infinite identical clones of himself in the character designer and then makes them whoopee with each other a million times in a room 100% decorated with leopard print. “Nice,” he tells them afterward. “You guys looked really great in there.” Probably has that patch where you can see their weiners.

how each member of 1d would help you move house

oceanprovince:

niall: arrives at 10am. insists on carrying stuff even though we all know his chicken legs and weak knees should maybe take it easy. keeps people’s spirits up. says he’s just in it for the pizza you promised at the end of the day but he’s also just a good friend. 

liam: big and strong and does it all with a smile. looks good carrying boxes? how does he make it look so easy but still impressive? you secretly wish you were a box so liam would cary you in his strong, sturdy, and capable arms. 

louis: why did you ask louis to help? it’s not that he’s a slacker he’s just easily distracted. he can get a little bit bossy but credit to him he’s not bad at organizing a team. insists on hourly tea breaks.

zayn: very good at packing. makes sure everything is safe and secure and won’t get broken or damaged. also starts reading newspaper articles on the newspaper you gave him to use as padding in the boxes. 

harry: turns up in something really unpractical (how is he going to bend at the knees to lift in those jeans?). you didn’t even ask him to help, he just turned up with some baked good and a lot of enthusiasm.
