i think, if they were real, they would hang out while waiting for the mortals in the time loop to reset. and they'd be buddies.

[lilislegacy]

would love a scene of someone who doesn’t take percy or his physical strength seriously and then getting their shit rocked. imagine them getting percy all worked up and pissed off, and then smiling and taunting him; “what, you wanna hit me big guy? go ahead.” and then percy punching them, which throws them like 10 feet back, breaks their nose, and fully dislocates their jaw. because they didn’t realize that percy is actually extremely strong (which is canon)

but alas, none of that will ever happen because percy isn’t allowed to be impressive or intimidating anymore

Carl Kolchak: The Night Stalker.

All you young 'uns out there: forget that very lame early 2000's remake series, and hunt down the original (it's streaming on several services, including Amazon, Peacock, and Roku).

This series - along with the two television movies that spawned it (The Night Stalker, 1972, and The Night Strangler, 1973) - was the scariest thing on television at the time. It is also one of the primary influences on the creation of The X-Files.

The fact that Kolchak: The Night Stalker aired at 10pm on Friday nights made it even scarier, for me at least. I was usually home on Fridays, babysitting my younger siblings who had early bedtimes, so I was the only one awake in the house. And we lived in a very rural area with no streetlights, with a very large (2,500+ acres), scary forest across the street that all the kids in the neighborhood swore housed at least one Bigfoot. So yeah, I made sure there were a lot of lights on when I watched this show.

Heck, even today I get chills down my spine when I hear the theme music.

don’t trust pretty girls with dark pasts | alison dilaurentis (pt 1)

alison dilaurentis is one of those girls you can never quite forget, even if you tried. she’s the girl who disappears and somehow becomes bigger in her absence. she’s perfume and poison. the kind of girl who’s always watching, even when she’s gone.

and she’s also the reason so many of us wanted to become mysterious.

in the glowettee world , we love our study girls and soft girls and it girls… but there’s something so necessary about talking about the alisons of the world. because here’s the truth: being pretty is a tool. being feared is a shield. being misunderstood can be a power. and ali? she knew that long before anyone else did.

so today, we’re swiping on a little too much lip gloss, and whispering secrets behind other girls’ backs. not because we’re mean, but because it’s survival. (lol)

today’s lesson is: how to be a pretty girl with a dark past… and how to make people afraid to hurt you.

☠︎ 🕯

✧ who is alison dilaurentis? the girl who made you question everything.

alison was never the main character in a conventional way, she was the shadow behind every scene, the whisper at the end of the hallway. she was gone, but omnipresent. haunting and ethereal. dangerous and delicate.

she was the kind of girl who used her beauty like a weapon, her words like a scalpel, and her secrets like a currency. she curated her identity with every glance, every outfit, every manipulation. and what makes her iconic is the duality: she was always lying, but it was because the truth had hurt her first.

a product of trauma, survival, perfectionism, and pressure. she played mind games because life was a game, and the only way to win was to stay one step ahead of everyone. especially the people who loved her.

✧ mindy’s dissection of the duality

“she looked like she’d ruin your life, but you’d let her.”

if you want to embody and recreate alison’s energy, you have to master this soft-yet-lethal balance. she was coquette meets cunning. she looked like a doll, but she was built like a fortress.

this is how you start in real life:

🗝 be hyperfeminine���but calculated. ali always wore lace, pastels, ribbons, gloss. she embraced girlhood. but on her terms. her femininity wasn’t innocent, it was strategic. everything she wore said “look at me” but also “don’t get too close.”

🗝 create a sense of absence. alison’s most powerful tool was her disappearance. mysterious girls know how to pull away, how to let people wonder, how to be unavailable just enough. you don’t always need to post, explain, or show up. disappear for a bit. reappear glowing.

🗝 hold secrets like sacred texts. ali knew everything about everyone. and even if she didn’t, she made it seem like she did. she controlled people with information. in real life, this means being observant. don’t talk too much. listen more. remember details. let people overshare while you stay a little foggy.

🗝 manipulate softly, ethically. this is where we walk a fine line. you don’t need to hurt people to be powerful. but you can influence energy, social dynamics, conversations, and outcomes just by knowing when to lean in and when to step back. ali wasn’t cruel for fun, she was protecting herself from a world that had hurt her too soon.

🗝 let people project their version of you. everyone thought they knew ali. they didn’t. mysterious girls let people assume… and never correct them. you don’t need to tell everyone your whole life story. let your vibe speak louder than your words.

✧ lifestyle inspo: the alison aesthetic for girls who look soft but hold knives behind their backs. (figuratively lol)

♡ appearance:

wear soft, pastel or baby pink tones with dark eyes or bold lip moments

matching lingerie sets even if no one sees them (especially if no one sees them)

hair ribbons, delicate jewelry, baby doll tube tops + skirts and jeans

signature scent: something too sweet with a dark twist (something like: ysl black opium or viktor & rolf flowerbomb)

manicures always. preferably pale pink or dangerous red.

♡ habits:

keep a secret journal. not for feelings, but for data. screenshots, observations, ideas.

play music while walking like you're the main character in someone else’s downfall.

know the gossip. don’t be in it.

use strategic compliments, it confuses enemies and disarms rivals.

disappear sometimes. rebrand when you return.

♡ home/life:

pink bedsheets, but with a lockbox under your bed

twinkle lights and scented candles next to hidden files and folders

an organized vanity but a cluttered hidden drawer with photos, notes, secrets

books stacked next to makeup palettes. duality, always.

✧ emotional strategy: how to be misunderstood in a way that protects you

the world always misunderstood alison. they thought she was a mean girl. a liar. a manipulator. they weren’t wrong, but they also weren’t right. she was traumatized. she was in danger. and she didn’t trust anyone.

to recreate and take from ali’s power, you don’t need to be cruel. you need to be self-protective.that means:

♡ never telling the full story ♡ letting your silence sting louder than your words ♡ choosing emotional detachment when necessary ♡ never giving second chances to people who betray you ♡ being okay with being the “villain” in someone else’s story

✧ mindy’s personal tips for being the ali of your friend group:

— always have the screenshots. — be the girl who disappears after the party. — know what makes people tick, but never let them know yours. — compliment girls who hate you. it confuses them. — never argue when you can smile and walk away. — keep a diary like it’s a vault. and keep it hidden. — have a playlist that makes you feel dangerous. play it when you walk down the hallway. (using headphones/earphones) — when people underestimate you… let them. and then prove them wrong silently.

✧ closing thoughts from mindy ♡

being a “pretty girl with a dark past” doesn’t mean being toxic. it means being resilient. it means knowing that the world won’t always protect you, so you have to protect yourself. it’s softness with steel. sweetness with shadows. the glowettee girl who knows how to cry in mascara… and then ruin your life with a smile. (i love you angels <3)

alison dilaurentis was the kind of girl everyone feared, because she made you look at your own reflection a little too closely. and maybe that’s what we need more of: girls who hold up mirrors, girls who say no, girls who come back stronger than when they left.

you don’t have to be perfect. you just have to be unforgettable. and ali? she never let anyone forget her.

— mindy ♡

Feeling unsafe is not the same as being unsafe and people are unable to distinguish between the two - you always have a right to be safe, but you do not necessarily have the right to always feel safe. This is an underlying theme in a lot of issues, like judging others' kinks, queerness, race, media analysis, and more; what the real heart of the problem is is unfamiliarity, things that people do not know and thus shrink away from in fear or disgust or discomfort. It can be a basic instinct to approach change and unfamiliarity with caution, but it needs to be an intentional act to challenge that fear/world view. It is something that we owe to the people around us, and that we owe to ourselves.
