there are three known definitions of the word sossie and they’re not as similar as you might think. the only thing that they have in common is that you can only be considered a sossie if you are a 5sos stan! the definitions are:
1. a 5sos stan who is stuck in the past or acts uncomfortably towards the band. these people might be convinced that romantic ships such as muke are real, call luke a penguin or michael a kitten and they might have old 5sos phrases such as “chocolate milk party” in their bio.
now, you might be thinking “is this a bad thing?” and usually it’s not. this is the definition of sossie that is used in a more playful way. most 5sos stans do not mind if you’re “stuck in 2014” as long as you are respectful of 5sos’ boundaries and don’t ship them disrespectfully
