oh my god ok i literally cannot tell any of niall's bandmates apart either and do not care to, or DID NOT, UNTIL CONOR, not because conor is more worthy but because niall has a GINORMOUS AND EMBARRASSING CRUSH ON HIM which he is busy PERFORMING ON SOCIAL MEDIA because he DOES NOT KNOW and NOBODY HAS TOLD HIM YET HOW OBVIOUS IT IS!!!!!!!! if you have not watched the chad/tucker instagram stories where niall just desperately beats an inside joke to death because he WANTS TO BOND WITH HIS CRUSH then pls do!!!! or if not just trust me, niall has a huge embarrassing crush and he has not connected the dots yet but literally everyone else watching has. TO ME THE BEST PART IS that conor is like this totally unremarkable, not that cute, ordinary irish dude, who is perhaps remarkable only bc he is a Real Musician who is doing his graduate degree in violin performance (and i could see niall being slightly awed and impressed by that??). but lmao like niall has literally just emerged from like a seven-year slightly-but-not-really-requited crush on HARRY STYLES, who is a weirdo in a million ways but is also HARRY STYLES, a sex demon, who should not be allowed to have that face or that level of sex appeal. and then immediately after he has barely recovered from that particular crush, he goes and develops a HUUUUUUUUUGE embarrassing second crush on a boy who is like, essentially his next door neighbor, the nice and completely unremarkable kid who lives down the street who your mom is always trying to set you up with.

ANYWAY I AM VERY INTO IT, niall/his shame forever
