shawn isn't epical enough 😔😔

no bc same help

I wish they'd cast him for willy wonka he has that like camp potential and also that intellectual grandiosity like that enigmatic quality plus the silliness

[@rini6998]

Watching people who were previously not acquainted with wattpad get traumatized by it has got to be my favorite genre of content.

[@pentamerone]

"who is liam" got me howling

[@vee_lastmodified]

I’ve been on wattpad since 2015, back when you didn’t need to pay coins to read chapters, and there was A LOT of fanfiction around one direction kidnapping ocs let me tell you 😭😭😭😭 That being said, I miss when it was just a place to write and read other people’s work, some people on that app were some of the best writers of I’ve ever been introduced to.

[@shawnmccomb]

here is the very deserved only purple heart you’ll ever receive:💜 thank you for your service 🫡

[@angelicart.6]

@@shawnmccombI love purple

[@Z5Z5Z5]

I was also on wattpad in 2015. I have not been on since. Thats so stupid you have to pay now.

[@torroro33o]

​@@Z5Z5Z5 you dont have to pay for most of the stories tho

[@ce_982]

shawn's british accent for Louis sounds like a horrid henry character to me😭

[@cosmari245]

Help I had to pause the video, the accent for niall was funny too jdakjajk

[@7anton7]

war flashbacks as soon as I remembered the imaginary friend trope

[@BringMeTheChildren]

That was a trope??? 😭😭😭

[@PoTato-ht7jl]

it's the fact that 'epically' is one of the few words they did spell correctly and he didn't understand at all 😆

[@fara2321]

🫢I might have some PTSD

[@glacousxx]

No as a directioner we don't own these nasty mentally ill girls . And some fantasies should stay in their heads 😂. Omg imagine if you knew about kpop you would cry 😂. So many of my friends are obsessed with them but not me thankfully. Ships ruin fandoms honestly

[@annonymously1778]

"in 2012 I was fuckinggg worried about the end of the world" is SOOO real for all the late 90's to early 2k's kids WORLDWIDE PTSD frrr!

U telling me ur sense of humour is original and not effected by the wattpad comment section ?... quite scary more than impressive.

[@Scott-md9nx]

When shawn got close to his window I realized how comically large his blinds are, like he lives in a little tikes house

[@cchelsea.y1]

the blinds are normal sized he is just really really small and petite

[@AmbassadorKat]

I wondered why the perspective seemed so off

[@ismalise]

This will be talked about in history books I fear

[@lane.]

omg!!! you share a birthday with the day my grandma died from a stroke!! that so cute!! 🥰

[@shawnmccomb]

okay reincarnation u betta werk🤣💋👻

[@matilda56853]

please never die shawn, i really love you.

[@MoonBuns__]

PLEASE make this a series. It’s epically

[@alyssah262]

one direction in the thumbnail was a jump scare

[@shawnmccomb]

im so sorry did they kidnap you too? :(

[@raxidaydreams]

I need a part two pleeeeeease. The story is giving me war flashbacks

[@mckaevid]

Please do the rest of this story, this is the hardest I've laughed in so long

[@sourcher]

I remember my sister had a somewhat famous harry styles fanfiction on wattpad in the early 2010s. It had like 5M reads! I tried to read it a few years ago and it was unbearable 😭

[@derpydevilolidk]

Omg what is it called lol now I want to read it 😂

[@The-Busy-Beeeee]

Shawn is like everyone’s unhinged uncle who’s really close to our age

welcome to 13 year old me’s reading list

me at 14 but BTS ff

[@Abyss_Maid]

i feel like my country (brazil) equivalent of the kidnapped by one direction fanfictions would be the "i got hit by a bts member car" and "kidnapped by one of bts members...but they are a mafia boss for some reason"
