↪ son naeun. she/her. cis female. ╱ i thought i saw thalia moon getting questioned by the police. the twenty-two year old is in their third year at west bridge studying fashion design. they were at manon’s party because manon was wearing one of her designs. do you think they had something to do with her death? + eyes stained by glitter and mascara, the feeling of isolation among a crowd of people, smoking a cigarette with a glass of red wine. ◜ diana. 19. est. she/her. ◞

ok i’m gonna do my very best to keep this short because whew,,,, i’m a rambler asjdhkdjh 

i guess i will start off by saying she’s aquarius sun scorpio moon...so that’s some indication of her personality ajksdshdh,,,

she is bisexual

here is her pinterest so u can get 2 know her aesthetic <33

now onto some backstory

her father owns a development company (basically think bart bass from gossip girl but she is not chuck bass because he’s gross) and her mom is a socialite

she was raised in a wealthy family on the upper east side (nyc). she is an only child, so she grew up weaned on expensive items and became a bit materialistic because of it

because she was an only child people assumed she was always the center of attention but the truth is her parents were very neglectful of her...n she grew up to be pretty emotionally stunted whew she literally cannot deal with her emotions but we’ll get to that

her parents never really wanted kids, they just had thalia to present a family-friendly image, so they used her whenever the cameras were around

during her high school years her father ran into a bit of legal trouble because of a building he owned that burned down. he had buried the story, but word was beginning to come out again (yes i’m ripping off gossip girl ASHDKJH)

her parents divorced because of the scandal, among other things. the two of them constantly fought ever since thalia was a child, but her mom decided to remove herself from the scandal while she still had the chance (which is exactly what her moms father, aka thalia’s grandfather, told her to do)

after the divorce, thalia was left in her father’s care

during the scandal, she began to lash out and rebel against her father specifically, but he threatened to take away her trust fund if she did not behave herself. he needed thalia’s help in maintaining his image

so she agreed to stop lashing out publicly, but still continued her lifestyle on the lowkey

she always managed to get herself into trouble, but also found her way out of it one way or another

thalia took an interest in fashion design early on in her high school years and was able get two internships while she was still in high school

after the divorce, she barely ever saw her mom. not that it mattered because she didn’t see her much in the first place, but her mother ended up remarrying suddenly became a family person, leaving thalia to feel extremely bitter

as all negative things did when it came to her father, the scandal blew over and the truth went unnoticed yet again

when it was time for her to go to college, her father basically told her now that she was an adult he did not care to see her much anymore. he said her trust fund was still in place and to not hurt his image, otherwise he would take it away, but he basically severed ties. this is why she decided to move away from her home in new york city and go somewhere she thought she could be more lowkey

she hates her parents, especially her father and wants to make her own money and stop relying on her trust fund, but she’s also too materialistic to give it up...rip

and here we have some quick words about her personality:

thalia is very closed off and has a hard time trusting people

she is not necessarily shy, but feels she is often misunderstood, which is one of the reasons she is never at the center of any social event and likes to hangout along the sidelines instead

thalia is always down to try new things, she is literally up for anything. she’s the type of person who gets bored easily, so she’s always seeking the next thrill

i would not say shes mean (she can be) but she just doesn’t have the most welcoming personality, and maybe she can come off as intimidating (that’s up to ur characters of course)

her view on the world is very negative, she’s most definitely a cynic

the party/manon incident:

thalia was at the party because she asked manon to wear one of her designs. due manon being extremely popular, thalia figured she could get more recognition as a designer by asking her to wear one of her designs

she attended the party to see how people were reacting to her dress, and also because she probably would have attended anyway

she wouldn’t have exactly considered manon a friend, but manon was one of the few people thalia didn’t mistrust, so when her dead body was discovered, thalia was definitely taken aback

thalia was definitely under the influence of something, so she probably doesnt remember that night all too well

when it came to the pact, thalia was quick to agree to it. her father’s one condition for her to keep her trust fund was to stay out of trouble. she knew he could probably have saved her from the mess, but she did not want to have to seek his help

she feels weird being apart of this pact, considering she probably doesn’t trust most of them, but she also didn’t know what else to do

plot ideas (if i remember i’ll strike them out when they get taken):

step siblings - either side of her family, her mom remarried and her dad definitely could have so i would looove step sibling plots. they can b on friendlier terms, or hate each other, literally anything would work

party buddies - this is pretty basic and self explanatory, but someone thalia can go out and have fun with. their friendship is most likely surface level, or prob started that way, but it’s possible they became deeper friends (maybe thalia opened up one day when she was most likely under the influence of something)

ex-fling - thalia is definitely the non-committal type so i doubt she would ever have an ex bf or gf, but it could still have been a serious un-labeled relationship, or just an ex fling. they could be on bad terms, good terms, still have feelings, not have feelings, u name it

unrequited crush -  ur character could have feelings for thalia, but being the way she is, she doesn’t feel them back. this could develop into thalia eventually having feelings for ur muse, or not, whatever we want! OR thalia could have a crush on someone who does not like her back. maybe they’re even more emotionally unavailable than she is, or they simply do not like her back. we could plot this out however

current fling/“friends” w benefits - someone she is currently seeing/sleeping with. could be no strings attached, or there could b some feelings there. maybe they don’t want to make it anything serious, or maybe they’re ready to take it to the next level. maybe one person is ready to go further, and the other isn’t. i put “friends” in parenthesis because she probably doesn’t have many friends

enemies w benefits - imagine the tension!!! they started out hating each other, but ended up hooking up. maybe it was a one time thing, or maybe they can’t stop going back to each other. i think it would b cool if they kept it a secret, they don’t want anyone else to know. this could develop however we want

ex-friends - someone thalia used to consider a close friend, but they had a falling out for whatever reason n maybe they hate each other now. maybe they want to re-kindle their friendship but don’t know how

sibling-like friendship - someone thalia sees like a sibling. they’re there for each other and look out for one another, always have each other’s backs

dynamic duo - could be thalia’s current best friend. i would say she probably doesn’t have many friends, but this person is prob one of the closest people to her and has actually managed to break down some of her walls

confidant - someone who confides in her or someone she confides in, or they confide in each other. they don’t necessarily have to be friends, but they get along and maybe they talk more in private

rivals - they hate each other for whatever reason. maybe it’s jealousy or their personalities just clash, but for whatever reason they do not get along. i love a good enemies plot. they can just b nasty to each other!!! 

safe haven - *mini drug tw*  i did not know how to label this so i apologize for the name. but i think it would b cool if someone helped thalia out during a bad night. she typically saves herself from bad situations, but one day she couldn’t and luckily ur muse was there to help. maybe she drank too much or did too many drugs or mixed the two and ended up rly bad. either way, i would love for someone to have helped her from a tough time. she would probably feel really confused and guilty and like she owes them. maybe ur muse can manipulate her bc of it and make her do things bc she owes them, or maybe they genuinely had good intentions. i would also b down for a plot about thalia helping out someone else’s muse from a sticky situation!!

bad influence - i would loveeee for thalia to be a bad influence on someone. someone she can corrupt in a way, or just lead down a bad path akshkjhd and get them to try new, and not-so-good, things

good influence - someone to be a good influence on thalia. someone who brings out the best in her and tries to steer her down a better path

partner in crime - someone who does crazy, illegal shit w her. someone who is always down for the next adventure n they have crazy memories together

model/muse - someone who models thalia’s clothes. they could simply just be her model, or maybe they could also double as her muse, someone who inspires her best work. there can b romantic feelings there or it can b totally platonic !!!! but i think someone who models for her would be super fun

photographer - someone she partnered with to take pictures of her designs. it can be a strictly mutually beneficial business partnership, or maybe it spiraled into a sort of friendship where they bring out the best in each other (work wise) and stick together for their different projects.

childhood friends - someone who knew thalia when she grew up. maybe they knew about her weird home life, or maybe their friendship was set up by their parents. maybe they were just friends out of their own free will, but grew apart when they grew older. the possibilities are endless

roommates - they could be on good terms or bad terms. maybe thalia coming home at odd hours of the night doesnt sit well with your muse, or maybe they dont have an issue with it at all. maybe they are starting to get along and hangout more because of being roommates

tldr: thalia is an emotionally unavailable wealthy aspiring fashion designer who has issues with her parents and likes getting into trouble

a lirry fic primer

one of these might have been made before? but im using my position as someone who has read every lirry fic on ao3 to make a list of the top 15 fics you should most definitely read if you like lirry!

this is not an exhaustive list but i guess it’s some of the ~essential~ lirry fics to read. i’ve read all of these at least three times and love them all. they aren’t really in any particular order on the list, just when i thought of them lmao. some authors appear more than once and others don’t but consider it a blanket rec for all works written by these authors! special thanks to @lirryonce​ for her help in picking out fics, and u can find them all under the cut

broke some rocks right through your window by fallfreely

Reception teacher Liam might be able to handle a classroom full of children with no sweat— but when it comes to letting himself fall in love, he finds he still has loads left to learn.

parallel on the other side by brojan

liam doesn't believe in ghosts, but harry is nice to him anyway. (a casper AU, sort of)

written in my memory by carissima

Liam turns towards the voice. It sounds a bit like Harry, but deeper somehow. Huskier. He blinks carefully as he stares at Harry, who's half-sitting in the window, staring back at him. Or maybe it's not Harry, he thinks dizzily because this boy is taller, much taller than Harry is. He's also got longer hair, tucked back in a bandana, and he's wearing clothes that Harry would never wear; tight skinny black jeans and a loose black tee, silver chains around his neck hanging loose over his chest.

Or the one where Liam has amnesia and he struggles to connect with the boys.

One Day Like This by badjujuboo

"I'm just so tired, so tired of doing this on my own and -" he says through these gut wrenching sobs, and Christ, Harry's arms around him are the only thing holding him up. "I just don't want to be alone. I don't want to be alone."

And there it is. The last of his selfish confessions. The one that he's kept buried even deeper than the rest because he had a life before this. He had a career and he had friends and yeah, it might have been a year since his divorce, but he had love, too. He can't even imagine that now. Can't think about leaving these children who are his responsibility to go and find someone just for him. The other half to make him whole. He can't even dream about it because it's not just him he has to concern himself about now. Anyone he brings into his life, becomes their lives.

Who would want an instant family of three with a neurotic father figure anyhow?

OR: the one where Liam takes on the biggest responsibility of his life, and a fruit eating best mate might just be the best addition to this ride. Future!fic, as canon as that can be.

to feel your heart as it’s keeping time by wearecities

It’s light outside by the time Harry shakes flour from his hair, wiping some off the tip of his nose with the edge of his apron. The clock over the door reads eight twenty-seven and Harry takes one last sweeping glance of the kitchen, wipes his hands on his jeans before going to open the doors of The Rolling Scones.

Harry owns a bakery, Niall and Louis are sickeningly in love, Zayn hates clip-art and Liam’s the only one that laughs at Harry’s jokes.

you belong with me by countthestars

Liam and Harry grow up, fall apart, and figure it all out.

Or, the one where Harry gets famous and Liam gets left behind, and sometimes you find that what you're looking for has been here the whole time.

(everywhere you look) there’s a face of somebody who needs you by fannyann

After it happens Harry disappears for nearly three months. He comes home to a worried family, an angry Liam, and Niall asking for a favor. He postpones his album and moves into Liam's house with Niall to help raise his two kids. He expects for things to be hard and for his feelings to be a bit all over the place, all things considered, but he never expects to fall in love -- especially not with Liam.

or a very loosely based full house au.

Even When We Fight by threeturn

University AU. Liam's the star of the debating society until Harry shows up and steals the spotlight. Meanwhile, Niall's in love, Zayn lives while he's young, and Louis looks after his friends.

these shades can hide us from the streets by wearecities

“Some of the crew are going for a pint, there’s a pub just round the corner,” Harry says. “I’m going, you should too.”

“I should?” Liam asks, a bit caught off guard. He hears Louis mimic him from behind, a quiet, high-pitched, mocking, ‘I should?’ Liam steps back and catches Louis’ foot under his.

“You know what they say,” Harry shrugs, grinning. “Keep your enemies closer.”

Harry and Liam are rivals, supposedly.

never look surprised by daisysusan

Harry's going to be a good friend now Liam's got a broken wrist and can't get himself off. Really. That's all he's doing.

If I Was Your Boyfriend, I’d Never Let You Go by estrella30

“Harry, you essentially just told my sister that we’re dating.”

“Pretty much,” Harry says, and grins. “Champagne?”

ninepins when we roared by ithacas

au. harry puts his life on hold. liam's there to help him through it. (or the one where harry raises a baby and liam moves in with him)

ain’t going down without a fight by dramaturgicallycorrect

“We should do it here,” Harry says, and even though he’s looking at Liam, he doesn’t appear to be speaking to him.

“No fucking way,” Niall argues. “If it’s his first time, he should shift in the Vault.”

Harry looks up at the sky and Liam follows his gaze. He seems to be looking up at the moon, full and getting brighter as the world gets darker. Once Liam gets an eye on it, he feels pulled to it, like he won’t ever be able to bring himself to look away again.

“Not enough time,” Harry decides.

Liam didn’t know you could tell time by the moon, but he figures you learn something every day.

The Only Place You’ve Known by andwhatyousaid

The fan says, "I've never like — I never thought I would see anyone so open about it, or like so famous, like able to be so famous, like on the cover of, of — anything, any teen magazine that my fucking younger sister could pick up."

And Liam gets it, because he’s never thought so either.

but forget maybe by brojan

basically the concept for this was a "harry styles is jesse lacey" AU. in execution this really just means harry, louis, and zayn have instruments and i stole a lot of brand new lyrics

Opinion on the Netflix Show “Gypsy”

Okey i finished watching Gypsy and i thought i shall give me review because...why not? Im trying to be more open so this might as well help me on that.

I will give the show a 7/10.

Despite the issues with the name others had already stated (being a racial slur) i don't understand why that title, what it does have to do with the series core question ("who are you when no one is watching?") any of the characters or the plot. Maybe it is because im not cultural aware enough to know what it has to do with that word. If anyone knows...then please inform me. Otherwise it was just a whim without a marketing advisor to let them know it could be a bad, bad idea.

But without any more delay, let's go to the core of this topic as this might be long ride and i don't wanna disregard too much but please be aware that might be spoilers from now on.

To be completely honest I started watching it because of the wlw aspect and because i love naomi watts okey? I didnt do research, didnt watch the trailer... So as you might guess i really wasn't in for the theme of the series which i found a little bit cliche (the whole “who you are and who you SAY you are”/ people and mask/etc) meanwhile it was enjoyable certainly it wasnt... thrilling or a master piece. It has it good aspects, it was nice to see how knowing the patients you get to know the therapist as a kind of mirror effect, the lights in some scenes (specially sidney/dianne) are ON POINT and how it is handle the gender issues with Dolly is magnificent, its realistic. Not too immediately accepting for me to feel  as unrealistic (because im a pessimist, demand me) but not disregarding it either. Both parents doing the best to understand and choose what's best for their daughter even if they are dealing with their own shit because that marriage is sinking like the titanic..and without doing too much drama out of it. Because even if the marriage seems to be failing in certain places, this are two people who care for each other, still have great sex? (Something that tv shows/movie had teached me is a KEY factor to notice when a couple is about to die) and have fun together. If we ever get a second season, i think a divorce is what i can expect from this two and no, is not because of Sydney but because they dont LOVE each other, they care, they understand and one is being the “anchor” of the other...but doing so they are not living their life at the fullest for what i can see ...which is a big topic for Jean on the serie.

Speaking of which, i also really enjoy that the protagonist is deeply flawed. It's not a "good character with some bad traits" it's a "she mess it up constantly" to which to me, is understandable in a realistic (not acceptable) sort of way. She starts doing bad things on the first chapter and continues on by trying to contact all patient-problem-related-ones (Sydned, Rebecca, Tom, etc) in a really unprofessional way BUT it's her way to try to help because that's what she wants: she wants to see them actually getting better instead of just listening, and she repeatedly says this on her meetings with her fellow psychotherapis (and this is done probably as a way to try to fix her own mistakes, by fixing it on others)...until she falls for Sydney and she loose foot of her own lies which end up in the bigger problem of the end of the series. WHICH she doesn't do nothing about but call and try to reach to Allison. She DOESNT go to a wide-country journey, take justice on her hands, she is not a cop, she is not a super-adventure-hero type of protagonist so she do what a normal  woman would do: Keep going to work, trying to fix things and ...keep fucking it up and not in a fun way, but in a shitty way so... so is NOT your good character but for a protagonist? it certainly entertaining to watch because i honestly don't believe she is doing it with bad intention. She certainly hoped to help Allison...but. BUT she did end up fucking up big time there, actually, she damage  almost everything she is with but her daughter.

Beautiful. I love it. Good intentions not always mean good actions and again, is interesting to me to see how she tries to recover some identity that she lost trough others, causing the train-wreck of the season.

However for a serie that is not sure it will get a second season and needs to hold on the audience it has a weird pacing, can get confusing and had a lot of mistery and unresolved plots: Who is Mellisa? (yes i know, a previous patient. But it seems so much deeper) what did she do? what do they bring her up constantly and why Jean looks for her at the end? What will happen with Sydney/Dianne now that the secret is out? what the fuck were those tapes? Was Jean Heart a frustrated journalist before her career on psychiatry? What happened with Allison and why did she lied about her mother in the first place? It was Tom who drugged Jean or were the pill she is taken so much lately? (I would get the shit scared if something like that happened to me but she seems to forget pretty quickly about it)

Its also with a bit of bittersweet taste that i admit to myself than the relationship between the two woman is not a healthy one and i don't predict a really good future for them, even in next seasons. I don't mean that all wlw relationships have to be healthy and good because not all relationships are but because the actresses have an incredible chemistry between them and its gonna be lost but … i mean, i hope Sydney get something better. Dianne is constantly lying, manipulating, lashing onto her, pushing her aside when she doesn't need her, etc. I don't find fault on Sydney behaviour more than you know, the typical things with her ex, but other than that? Nothing. She even apologizes when she doesnt need to, so she is good...to good...i suspect she hides something but thats me, just suspecting.
