Something something Lila's dress being pure white while Tanya's being grey/black. hm

#white could symbolise lila's dress being a wedding dress or her status as an artificial/ 'pure' being #meanwhile tanya's dress resembles a mourning/half-mourning dress #lilaposting #who's lila #lila #tanya kennedy #doubling

Nothing left but a feeling in there somewhere.

#could've probably done this with will and martha but i think willila is more compelling. so #they were made for me (unwilling cosmically codependent pair of characters)#AND jealous possesive entity inside a human will never not hit platinum in my household. the cards were stacked against me from the jump #lilaposting #who's lila #william clarke #lila #web weaving #indigo de souza

#it's all too much i think. lila as this timelessly amused being. the face of pure relief upon death. is it will or lila who's relieved #whatever. i don't even care. (starts sobbing in the corner)#levels of 'everything's about who's lila' increasing dramatically. we're on 'random wikipedia page web weaves' level now #lilaposting #who's lila #william clarke #lila #web weaving

This place used to be like a second home to me.

#something something victims of abuse thrive in rigid environments and cults because they don't want to 'deal with the unpredictable' at home #and the way lawrence's cult was all about worshipping and creating the perfect incarnation of a malleable being.... well. i shan't say more #will who willingly gave his body up to house this being. will who forgave his mother because 'she just wanted to love me'. no one talk to m #lawrence and his mother looked at will and saw a body but not a person. not really anyway #william clarke #lilaposting #who's lila

It cannot be comprehended how much I need William to have the exact same haircut as his mother when she was at her most 'powerful' (aka in his youth). He learned to cut his hair like her because he's never fully separated himself from her. The feeding of the monster never stopped, it just gets delayed by a month or two until his hair grows out.

#every time i think about will and his mother i do want to run into oncoming traffic just to stop thinking about them. btw #lilaposting #who's lila #william clarke

The doppelgänger, that persistent haunt of Romantic fiction, is our incessant reminder of the literal doubleness, the fact that the self with whom we live in intimacy can become deformed and a stranger; and a sobering reminder as well of the mask of commonality that passes for family happiness. In Romantic fiction by women, however, including that of Jane Austen, the sense of doubleness tends to take on a narrower focus. Its pervasive philosophic awareness of the self's protentional self-betrayal becomes a more concrete, if ambiguously shifting, vision of the double face of male authority.

#wonderful art op!#hey btw remember how the original painting people thought it was a husband and wife and not father and daughter. for no reason at all #which could mean nothing about william's superposition in the fraternity vs lawrence himself. he's both the host/'husband' to lila #which lawrence is obsessed with and sees as his own creation. and as a sort of surrogate son to lawrence. which i bring up. for no reason #who's lila #lilaposting #who's lila?#art

“Only Lila can say if, in fact, she has managed to insert herself into this extremely long chain of words to modify my text, to purposely supply the missing links, to unhook others without letting it show, to say more of me more than I want, more than I’m able to say. I wish for the intrusion, I’ve hoped for it ever since I began to write our story, but I have to get to the end in order to check all the pages. If I tried now, I would certainly get stuck. I’ve been writing for too long and I’m tired; it’s more and more difficult to keep the thread of the story taut within the chaos of the years, of events large and small, of moods. So either I tend to pass over my own affairs to capture Lila and all the complications she brings with her, or worse, I let myself be carried away by the events of my life, only because it’s easier to write them. But I have to avoid this choice. I mustn’t take the first path, on which, if I set myself aside, I would end up finding ever fewer traces of Lila - since the very nature of our relationship dictates that I can reach her only by passing through myself.”

William and Tanya dancing together.

#this scene always gets to me i fear. something about william's face changing into that of an owl specifically and owls often being symbolic #for not only dark arts and witchcraft but also gives a nod to twin peaks where 'owls are not what they seem'. same thing goes with william #he is not what he seems because he is not fully autonomous anymore. william isn't really 'only william' if that makes sense #still. great scene. wish i could write about it more but i've exceeded my limits #william clarke #tanya kennedy #who's lila #lilaposting #gif

my favourite thing about Tanya being the self sabotaging asshole she was is just how fragile her whole image was. It really only took Will calling her out on her bs (in an incredibly kind and mature way) for it to become clear she was just lashing out from pressure. She has this air of a complicated individual, but it's really that simple.

then in a roundabout way that makes her even more complex in my eyes, because her hatred for herself and anyone who couldn't seem to figure her out is purely out of fear that she's not gonna live up to their expectations. She's insecure she might not be a good enough friend/ partner or that she might not be smart enough, so she might as well go ahead and ruin her relationships before they ruin themselves. Save her the disappointment.

#tanya kennedy the self fulfilling prophecy girl that you are <3 #she's so desperate to claw out of her own life she's willing to scratch and tear at anybody close enough to reach #and she gets her wish. she's replaced in the narrative. but by who? well lila of course! the absolute superego of perhaps entire humanity #the most selfish and bitter and spiteful girl in the world. the end result of tanya's worst choices made manifest #tanya kennedy #who's lila #lilaposting

Who's Lila x Severance AU. Worms of Lawrence performing a severance of their own on William to make room for Lila in his head and still keep her in check with the many contingencies. Her finding a loophole in the system and taking over full time after William 'remembers' something he shouldn't have, as he's not supposed to remember anything in his 'severed' state.

#the idea feels rife with potential for both exploration of identity but also tapping into the esoteric with them 'conjuring' lila #into will's now empty space. made room specifically FOR HER BY WILL. however unknowingly. he needed someone there too #lilaposting #who's lila #lila #william clarke

And I've had recurring nightmares that I was loved for who I am, and missed the opportunity to be a better man.

#been thinking about lila as an extension of william's abusive mother lately and not been doing too well #especially lila being used as both a coping mechanism and also a constant wound for will. oh yeah it's all coming together #lilaposting #who's lila #william clarke #web weaving

#tanya always felt to me like if she didn't get killed by bringing up lila she's be killed for messing around with other people #not by mike necessarily but in general. it's a challenge to her and to the person she cheats on with. she's an adrenaline seeker at heart #very lost in her own way and she is still young but her coping mechanisms are actual dogwater #lilaposting #tanya kennedy #william clarke #web weaving #who's lila
