I’m sorry but Alya is pissing me off in s5, if my best friend refused to listen to me when I said someone is a liar and narcissist who’s constantly being evil behind everyone’s backs and she DIDNT believe me I’d be furious

hello!! i apologize for doing a spam reblog of the "liar, liar" chapters, but they are so good! i love the way you write dialogue!! it flows so nicely that it immerses me in the story even more! i wanted to ask if i could be added to the taglist :>
oh my gosh, don’t you DARE apologise for reblogging my posts, are you crazy? 😭 it benefits me, why would i ever be mad at that? in fact, i would love for readers to interact more (i literally cannot stress this enoughh). i love reading ur thoughts and opinions, it makes my day in ways you literally could never imagine!! <3
i’m touched that my writing has resonated with you the way that it has, and i’m even more flattered that you came to actually let me know about it! it reassures me sm ‘cause i’m always second-guessing myself and deleting drafts (you have no idea haha).
but ofccc you can be on the taglist! so glad you’ve enjoyed the story enough to actually want to be on it :)) this should be like a ceremonial thing, like welcoming a new little liar to our family lmaoo

am getting a lot of character inspo for shri’iia from amy gone girl. I don’t think she’s as smart nor calculated but she is similar to some degree in that she’s hyper aware of the current persona she’s presenting and how she’s appealing to the people. the masks and the mjndgames, that’s basically how shri’iia operated while she was still serving under her matriarch in menzoberranzan. she needed to play the roles the matriarch required of her and it was only when she was with her matriarch that she can be ‘Real Shri’iia’, and that’s how I imagined shri’iia to be esp in act 1 when she is so new and scared in the surface. she needed to work out who these people are (her companions) and what they liked, so her first persona - her blank one - the charming helpful paladin who got tadpoled and wants to go back home just like the rest of them (which was half true). she didn’t really argue and she generally agreed to what the group wanted. she was helpful and co-operative, ask her about her past and she will tell you something bland and generic- interesting enough to be ooh-ing about but not too interesting that they’ll delve deeper into it. then, when she got to know them a little more, she started crafting little personas adjacent to her first one ; she’s the girl who’s curious about magic but never had the chance to learn with gale, she’s a cool girl who likes mischief as debauchery with astarion, she’s the one who likes to take risks and live in the moment with karlach, the knight in silver armor who’s willing to help the tieflings with wyll, a disciplined fighter with lae’zel, someone who understands the depths of devotion with shadowheart - but none are really her, not really. ofc her own personality might slip in here and there but for the most part she’s appealing to them and what they’d like her to be but none of it is really genuine. shri’iia just needs to be on their good side to minimise the chances of them turning on her, and if they let her guard down it’ll be easier for her to get rid of them should the need arise. taking up all these different masks, collecting all these intel abt them to be used for later, slithering and making a place in their minds - it’s really how she operated back in menzoberranzan. I think the only one who catches on to her game is astarion but that’s bc he’s doing the same thing too, so it’s very game recognises game lmfao
it’s only when she breaks her oath and goes through her existential crisis that all of her masks drop and her real self comes out. she was never that kind of person lmfao ^, she’s greedy, selfish, paranoid and rather obsessive. she doesn’t care about a lot of things that doesn’t concern her, she has a cruel streak that she hasn’t shown before, and she hates doing anything that won’t really benefit her. but she’s fiercely loyal to anyone she likes, like a dog. and severely she craves validation and approval - also like a dog.

mother: did you know that mochi was invented in taiwan
sister: i'm pretty sure it was invented in japan
mother: no, it was definitely invented in taiwan. i remember making it when i was little.
me: mother, taiwan was colonized by japan. that was a colonialism.
mother: then it must have been invented in taiwan and since we were considered a part of japan at the time as one of their colonies, it must have been credited to them.
wikipedia: mochi was invented in sixth century japan or perhaps even earlier but it was definitely from japan
me: i am sorry mother. but sometimes there are consequences to being colonized.

Search: how to admit that this started as a joke post & then I dumped so much William Lore in the tags that I had to delete the joke and make this into an official headcanon post.
William has an aversion to talking about his past—anything from childhood to before he left England to attend university in America. But his past is no sob story, and it doesn't explain who he is—nothing made William a monster. It isn't a topic he discusses simply because his younger self was not so in control. Younger William didn't hide who he really was well, and William has made sure to mostly cut ties with anyone who knew him at that time. He went so far as considering changing his last name, even if it was only an impulsive thought during his college years. What few acquaintances he had were ghosted entirely, and even his parents heard less from him in the years prior to their passings. The only person he kept in decent touch with was his sister Jayne.
Jayne was the closest person he had had to a genuine friend growing up and, as I've addressed before, William is fully capable of having strong connections with family members where he chooses. Jayne has all of his wit without any of the cruelty, and the two have a dynamic that tends to amuse those around them. She can bring out the more playful and even "jokingly" mean-spirited side of William. All in all, William was happy to stay in touch with her.
And then the divorce happened. While Jayne had mentioned the possibility of moving to Utah as well for years—particularly after their parents' deaths had left her without any immediate family in England—she took it upon herself to fly out immediately to be with her brother. William was left feeling conflicted. His love for Jayne was suddenly caught up in his desire to be severed from his past.
Unable to talk her out of it, his children ended up with an unexpected aunt living right there in Hurricane, Utah with them! And early on, her visits were very frequent. If there was one person William couldn't hide his anger over the divorce from, it was her.
But her presence, even once she moved to another town in Utah after three years, was still occasionally damning. She had no issues light-heartedly mentioning some of William's less severe misdeeds around the kids, or even noting that he had been "kind of a bully" back in school to other kids. To Jayne, these comments were nothing, as William had "changed." To William, it was tearing down his carefully constructing persona and, worse, making it clear that he might be capable of cruelty still.
