Blog dedicated to Ashton Irwin and Luke Hemmings of 5SOS. I love talking about them, please let me know if you have any questions! Sideblog of ziammyloves25
"Luke's mom was my math teacher, which is crazy. I met her when I was 14, and she goes, 'No, you can keep drumming on tables in math class, that's fine. I understand how it is, my son's a musician.' Little did I know that was Luke. Which is pretty crazy, like the syncronicity that was already happening, the alignment between just us as people, in the band, was already happening long before we even met."

As part of the 5sos Instagram post, it’s included a pic of Luke and Ashton together, where Luke is giving the finger whilst has the black onyx Lashton ring on it. Luke has a very serious look on his face while he’s doing it. Not one sliver of joking!! A man who will laugh even before an oncoming funny joke is said! Ashton is dawning a gorilla pose.
🏳️🌈The middle finger is oft thought as the gay ring finger (commitment/marriage). 🏳️🌈This man isn’t “married” to any woman of any sorts in any lifetime in any stretch of the imagination.
Luke is wearing his ring for all three photos in the post. He very rarely takes it off ever since both he and Ashton first appeared wearing them.
ok so i don’t even know how i stumbled upon your page but i’m a relatively new fan to the 5sos family and i don’t really ship any of the boys buttt i read some of your posts and i can kinda believe lashton. so my first question for you is, do you ship malum and if lashton weren’t real, what other ship would you believe? also, i saw you mentioned them being managed by modest, and as a larry from the 1d fandom, i know all about them. i was wondering if you could explain more on that. thank you!!
First off, Hi and Welcome! Always nice to meet new people! haha
I also love to discuss and answer questions, so thank you for your good questions!
If you keep scrolling around and clicking through my hashtags you should eventually find my masterposts, lyrics analysis of a handful of songs, etc etc, and theres the matching rings of only Luke and Ash of which neither have ever worn with any other members, there's only been the brotherhood necklaces. When I first looking into them I let myself remain really really cynical until I started seeing that there were ongoing things, one after the other, that was different than was going on with the other guys. Yes, they're a brotherhood of soulmates but Luke and Ash have this added layer of treating each other. Any particular questions you're not finding an answer to even after looking through my blog, just let me know.
I don't like to refer to my beliefs as shipping, as I see that they're individually closeted, and then there's the added layer of their closeted relationship. The "shipping" that has gone on is what has muddied the waters of people being affectionate and friends vs affectionate and lovers. Vastly different, as you know the same with Larry, and the other closeted relationships that are in 1D. So, therefore, I don't believe any of the other pairings with Luke or Ash have any sort of romantic validity. Could they have experimented or whatever? Sure, none of us would know. But from the evidences, there's nothing to back that up. Cal and Michael knew each other since 2nd? grade, so they've had lots of time to be really bonded and how they've acted with each other has evidences of being boyfriends along the way. No idea if thats currently going on though. I have suspicions of Cal possibly being with Roy (longtime fellow musical artist friend), who lived with him during lockdown. But I won't get into their whole story right now. Thats a lot to cover.
Luke and Ashton are my faves and who I tend to focus on 98% of the time. So regarding Michael/Cal, I'll answer questions in DM if you're really that interested.
They were managed by Modest right out of Australia back when they first started. I'm about to very shortly post a timeline of Lashton and I'm planning to post a relationship of modest/5sos throughout the years. Think of all the tactics that have been used of modest towards the 1D boys, 5sos has a vast amount of the same things. Lots and lots of stunts/bearding (which I could post a lot more about but I try to keep that negative stuff away but I will talk abut should it be something thats specifically asked or is particularly relevant), being overworked, tabloid narratives including trying to force narratives of what/who songs are about (thankfully the boys have fought to control that as much as they are able to). Is there anything specific you're wondering about regarding this topic? Yes, they were treated like crap with them. So much so that during their 10 Year anniversary podcast where they recounted their career, year by year, they never said their name. Not once. They also weirdly left out the story how Luke and Ash actually met, which they've fondly told a handful of times before... it was kinda just breezed past (Wasn't part of the bands story? 🤔 )
Not sure what else to include so I'll stop here. haha
So I think I'm getting to a point where I'm just gonna start posting the Lashton timeline that myself and a couple of my friends have created. We scoured through hours and hours and hours of interviews and videos and social media posts and it's all by Year and Date.
