#5. To me, Home fits better with Liam's story.

#6. Some people pay WAY TOO MUCH attention to the jungwirth family. Who cares what grandma ruth says in an instagram comment section? We know f isn't l's son, so unfollow and leave them alone. when something big happens, we'll hear about it.

#7. It's fine to call it a leak, but Louis didn't really "leak" home, he was just the first one to draw attention to it. It was still allowed to be officially released but wasn't on the album for obvious reasons. There is another song that *actually* had to be leaked, however.

#8. All the moments where one of the boys are "jealous" of their partner interacting with someone else are actually just a) they're mad that THEY can't interact with their partner that way or b) they're trying not to fond/laugh and so instead pretend to be mad.

#9. Comparison isn't evil. It's not necessary to ALWAYS compare people/situations, but it's also silly to never compare similar situations. When two people from the same band go through the same thing, it's natural to compare and contrast bc they're associated with each other.

#10. In my opinion, Liam is the most underrated within the fandom and Louis is the most underrated outside of the fandom. (but it doesn't matter who is more underrated because they're all equally talented.)

#11. Not only is it not cool to erase Liam from his importance in the band as a leader, a songwriter, and a person in the same boat as most if not all of them, his fellow bandmates would not approve. they were in the same situation, and wrote songs about their shared experience.

#12. If you hate on people for believing in things because you say they have no proof (cbo, 1dpsychic, Bondagebear1D, etc i'm sure there are more) then you don't get to believe in other things that also have no proof ("sus" anons, harry's "finsta" etc.)

#13. Hating on tiktok/instagram stans and zarries is pointless and silly. if they're uneducated or rude just say that, don't lump them into a category of "tiktok stan" etc. let them do their thing, they're not hurting anybody.

#14. No person's stunt is better or worse than another's. And nobody "deserves" for theirs to end sooner than another's.

#15. You don't have to look deeply into it if you don't want to, but you can't vehemently defend one person against the official image that has been pushed on them and then hate another person because you believe the official image that has been pushed on them.

#16. NEVER shame someone for "reading too much into it" in a fandom where literally EVERYTHING has to be hyperanalyzed. Yes, some things are just coincidences or are a reach, but NEVER shame someone for looking into it. In this fandom, EVERYTHING needs to be looked into.

#17. You should read proofs/masterposts of BOTH sides of an issue before believing in something. I have read masterposts both for and against everything I believe in, and then I picked my side.

#18. Just because something is "fandom lore," or generally accepted "knowledge" within the fandom, doesn't mean that it's true and also doesn't mean that you should blindly believe it. For example: we don't KNOW that SMG is about a specific person, we just decided it might be.

#18, part 2: We don't KNOW most of our generally accepted "fandom lore", so u can't defend it against people who say differently. We don't KNOW that Na Na Na was about Niall wanting more french fries, so if I say it's about potato chips, you can't fight me on it. (silly example)

#19. Don't believe in anything without lots of proof. We can speculate all we want about various theories, but without PAGES AND PAGES of proof, we can't invariably say that it's real. If there are only one or two mps out there, it's a fun theory but can't be considered truth.

#20. There are lots of "little" proofs, but they wouldn't be proofs unless they had the BIG proofs to back them up. eg: Harry wearing blue all the time wouldn't be proof w/o the tattoos and bears. You can't use little proofs to support a theory unless it also has big proofs.
