#Courtney DiLaurentis

Gawking at the mirror, the girl could easily recognize the stark differences between herself and her sister.

An obvious one was their honey-blonde hair that seemed so sweet that it could give a tooth ache. The girl had strikingly short hair that was sliced abover her shoulders, it looked a bit spiky and rough. A contrast to her sister's which was long and curled so delicately.

Another one was their deep-blue, saphire eyes. Hers seemed more grim, dull and ghostly compared to her radiant sister's eyes that illustrated how perfect her twin sister was.

Courtney Dilaurentis finally stopped glaring at herself, you can describe this girl with numerous of adjectives but the main part of her as a person was how mysterious she was. Her life was miserable all she desired to become Alison again, she became so used to be called 'Ali' that she preferred it over her given name.

A little one shot of the Ali survival au.

I honestly think Ali (btw I prefer calling Courtney 'Ali' while the other twin is Alison,her full name)

I honestly think Ali would try to like anything which is opposite to her sister, she probably hates her now and trying to find her own style then becoming the real Alison.

Conspiracy?

I have read the bits and pieces of "Ali's Pretty Little Lies" before, but yesterday I got to experience it properly from beginning to end. When it comes to Courtney, I've always felt so freaking sorry for her, but to see the full picture of her journey was heartbreaking. She deserved so much more than she got, and I will forever be bitter that she wasn't included in the show. Sasha would've absolutely had the talent to pull that off.

Sasha Pieterse as Courtney & Alison

i think alison should have had the twin reveal in the final ep and make it so the alison who came back in s5 wasn’t really her (hence the character change) and the twin is the Icon from the first few seasons/flashbacks

[mysticggirl]

reminded me of Courtney in Alison’s identity listening to her name after a long time and just freaking out

i love troubled twins

Redraw of last year’s art!! (Just with less color)

An adaptation of Laura Pohl’s Grimrose Girls series could be that show. It’s everything I listed in the original post. I’ve read the books and they reminded me a lot of PLL because it’s about four girls trying to uncover the mystery surrounding their friend’s death and they are being targeted by something (or someone) except that it’s set in a boarding school and it has supernatural elements and magic.

Doppelgängers are also a recurring in that series and it’s very well done! It’s also much more diverse than PLL in terms of ethnic representation (two of the main characters are people of the global majority and one of them dark-skinned Black/Hawaiian girl), LGBT representation (none of the main characters and their love interests are cishet and two of them are Lesbians) and body representation (one of the main girls is fat and the word ‘fat’ is never used as an insult and always as the simple descriptor that it is and the character is never reduced to her fatness nor is she insecure about it, which was very refreshing). There’s also a trans female character and no, she’s not the villain or villainous in any way! She’s the pretty popular girl instead and is a breath of fresh air!

EDIT : If you know of other book series that could become that show, please feel free to reblog and talk about them!

I need a new show like Pretty Little Liars. Mystery, female friendship, romance, shocking twists and nice fashion with a pristine or girly vibe except this time there’s no romanticization of grooming, no transphobia, no glamorization of eating disorders, (much) less plot holes and it doesn’t end with a random twin popping out of nowhere after being unnecessarily stretched for seven years. Also, the gayer, the better.

𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝!

(𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐬𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧'𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧)

This is more of a rant than an analysis, an opinion, you can disagree/agree.  

BTW, I haven’t watched the series but read all the books. There would be spoilers on some of the books, on who A is. This is more why it should be animated and how. 

𝐖𝐡𝐲?

In live actions, it's hard to find an actor that looks like the character. However, I think PLL needs some characters to look similar to their book counterparts, not exactly but similar.  

In my point of view, it could have been easier to convey the story to an audience. 

E.G Emily’s parents were racist; they didn’t like Maya because she was black (so it would make sense for Emily’s struggles), of course they can’t find the perfect actor to look like Emily in a live action but can animate her.  

Also, Rosewood has a classy school that the girls attend with uniforms. Obviously, it's hard to use uniforms in a live action but it’s more easier animated (saves hassle to draw different outfits for kids to go to school)  

Honestly, this is more of an idea (sorry I can’t explain this properly).

  

𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐲?

Mona Vanderwaal’s; in the earlier books she’s described to look similar to Alison by Hanna. This foreshadows what was going to happen in the future, that Mona was the first A. In the first book (throughout the next 3 books as well), all 4 girls kept seeing blonde hair, this would add to the curiosity of the audience if Alison was still alive before finding her body. 

It makes sense to an audience that the blonde was Mona, make sense to the PLL girls that they were targeted by Mona not Alison. Adds more creepiness if they kept seeing blonde hair.  

Spencer Hastings; when she discovered that her Ali was actually step-sisters. Also, it would make sense if past Ali and current/past Spencer look a little bit like each other. Along with Melissa. 

Ali; if there was some scenes of 6th grade Ali and 7th grade her it could show her to have darker blonde hair in 7th grade also darker blue eyes. This would convey on the twin switch, foreshadowing that the Ali they knew was never the real one. (sorry if this part was confusing) 

Nearly any blonde because in Spencer’s flashbacks she always sees someone with Ali who is blonde on the night the murder took place.  

Hanna; It would be more easier to differentiate past her and present her. And to portray how she doesn’t want to go revert to her ‘ugly’ past life that she had. Also to illustrate how much she had changed prior to Alison being missing. 

𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬 𝟗-𝟏𝟔

My personal opinion would be to cut some parts that are useless, to shorten them. This is because the books drag the new A torturing them (which is real Ali). 

𝐒𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬?

I haven’t read Pretty little secrets (which I don’t plan on doing) but definitely read Ali’s Pretty Little Lies (honestly my favorite book in the series). Ali’s Pretty Little Lies could be an animated movie. 

𝐈𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧!

In my opinion, any PLL character would be better animated, and it could be more better telling the story. Only if it follows the story of the books. 

Finally, I honestly love the book design of the characters and would like to see it animated.

Guys, what are the best doc Martens. I’m thinking about Jadon II star, Jadon, Molly.

I want to give off that Sky Ferreira, soft grunge, Courtney Love vibes.

Update: I bought the Jadon II star, they are way more comfortable, they don’t get damaged easily + they have stars, as a stargirl I really appreciate this feature

Jadon, Jadon II star, Molly

Once again fell down the rabbit hole of watching some genius Alison is A/A.D/has a twin-videos (when I should be motivated at starting the new year at the uni, oops). Damn, this show had so much potential.

hi, hi ! it's mi(n) again. it's been a while since i was in lgc and wrote something. the need to rest is strong but this muse is stronger, so here i am. and in the words of aespa, i bring drama-ma-ma-ma that is davika jirayungyurn. you can find her complete profile here. you can find some quick facts under the cut. i do have some plots and wanted connections in mind so i shall update this asap, but brainstorming to fit what works and what you need is good too. you know the drill, hit like and i shall slide in your dms. unfortunately, i got shadowbnned so we can plot over at twt and discord for the time being ;;

grew up relatively normal and hated it, so she decided to be and became an overachiever to have some ✨ spice ✨ to her life

was a girl group member in Thailand, group disbanded, company closed, and she went to the best place to be a "performer"

confident in her visuals and talent; if you don't think so, oh well

makes friends rather easily; she can and will be anything you need either because she (1) needs something from you or (2) finds you entertaining

spent the first year of her stay in korea getting acclimated and keeping a low profile, observing trainee dynamics, basically keeping everyone (even those she considers her 'friends') at arm's length

generally pleasant around people, tactless when with people she's comfortable with

gets territorial when it comes to her friends/situationships(??), she will go to war and will not compromise, what's hers is hers

has/had multiple situationships to keep things interesting, and yes, she's doing a very good job keeping them all separate and unaware of each other

has never addressed any rumors that circulate about her; because she's been doing such a good job keeping everyone on the need-to-know basis only, a lot of true and false details could have gotten around. she only ever responds with a laugh, and never directly addresses it

because she's here for the long haul, she needed to have some kind of 'hobby', and unfortunately, that is people watching and collecting info on people, may it be gossip, secrets, or anything that will be 'useful' later on really

sometimes she will stir drama because she's bored (with muns consents and permissions ofc) and best believe she will get away unscathed

ironically has strong feelings towards fairness and justice; she abhors nepotism... but it's not above her to make use of connections to get to where she needs to be

will never cry or flinch even if she's hurt; probably never even saw herself cry before

tldr; dav is like your main stream mean girl borderline she-devil like kathryn merteuil (cruel intentions), regina george (mean girls), chanel oberlin (scream queens), alison dilaurentis (pretty little liars), courtney shayne (jawbreaker), and katherine pierce (tvd) to name a few ;;

2023 character wrapped: 9 characters you loved in 2023! Was tagged by @pinkhysteria

From left to right this is Spencer Hastings (Pretty Little Liars), Tessa Gray (The Infernal Devices), Julian Blackthorn (The Dark Artifices), Katherine Pierce (The Vampire Diaries), Karou (Daughter of Smoke and Bone), Daisy Jones (Daisy Jones & The Six book + show), Natalie Scattorcio (Yellowjackets), Andrew Minyard (All for the Game), Theta Knight (The Diviners).

Nat is the only one of these chars I actually met this year, however the others were from things I reread or rewatched and/or had new content and/or consumed a new content thing I hadn’t before and then Spencer is a carry over from last year when I met her + I do rewatch pll episodes or sections of the show p regularly even if I haven’t rewatched chronologically yet.

Obviously I have many other honorable mentions firsr here are some of the other characters I did in fact meet this year who I loved: Lottie Taissa Shauna and Misty (Yellowjackets), book! Eleanor Vance (The Haunting of Hill House novel), Courtney Dilaurentis (Ali’s Pretty Little Lies the pll books prequel), Kate Wallis (Cruel Summer), Catherine Earnshaw (Wuthering Heights), Gabby Bishop (The Fever), Atl (Certain Dark Things).

Other chars I loved previously I consumed a new thing featuring: Grace Blackthorn (The Last Hours), book! Aria Montgomery (Pll books I read the last couple this year), Nico Di Angelo (Riordanverse) even though in this case consuming the new thing was what dampened the hyper fixation I had with him due to my rereads last year (I thought about including him in the 9 because I did talk about him a lot in first half of the year but I’m just too depressed about this :/). Also I figured riordanverse will feature a lot in my next years wrapped for obvious reasons.

Other chars I have loved in the past and loved this year: Julia Wicker + Alice Quinn (The Magicians), Buffy Summers + Buffyverse ladies generally (Btvs) , the other Liars including Mona and Ali (Pretty Little Liars), Ling Chan and Evie O’Neill (The Diviners), Emma Carstairs (The Dark Artifices), TVD girl trio and Rebekah (The Vampire Diaries), Nico Di Angelo and Piper McLean (Riordanverse), Kevin Day (All for the Game).
