Hi! Your naturals artwork is so beautiful. I saw your requests were open so I was wondering if you could do a romantic one for Michael x Lia? No pressure though!
I am not good at drawing outright romantic pictures so I hope this is romantic enough. Them in a photobooth!
Also i changed my signature. Yall think it looks better or worse?
If you had to assign a shade of color to Michaelia what would it be? Or like how you think their respective chosen colors would come together and build a single one or aesthetic? (Need it for Michaelia week purposes)
Oooh interesting. I’m so curious to see what you have planned. 🤔
Personally, I think Michael gives me green while Lia gives more eggplant purple/black. I think Michaelia as a whole gives me a darker shade of red. Hope this helps!

Hear me out: Nobody Gets Me by SZA but it's about Kit x Ty
Accurate representation of Deanmicheal or better. THE best Bossom Buddies out there:
How would you describe Lia an Michael's relationship? From what I think it's more than friends but less than lovers.
Of all of the Naturals, Lia and Michael probably have the most in common. Their abilities–the ability to read emotions and the ability to detect deception–are really very similar, and tend to arise in similar circumstances. In fact, in the real world, you would commonly see these two skills together in a single individual. In the books, there are distinctions–Lia can sometimes tell, for instance, if someone is lying even if she’s just reading a transcript of what they said, whereas Michael needs facial expression and body posture in order to read someone. But in general, even more so than Cassie or Dean, Lia and Michael can read people in a way that means they often know things that you don’t want to know about someone.
Sometimes, it’s nice to be able to believe a lie.
Sometimes, you don’t want to know what everyone feels about you all the time.
And that means that the Michael-and-Lia relationship is very complicated. In THE NATURALS, Michael describes his relationship with Lia as “On again, off again. Never for very long, and it was never a good call–for either of us.” In KILLER INSTINCT, Michael describes a night when he stayed out until sunrise with Lia and then got into a fight with Dean when they got home. So it’s safe to say that Michael and Lia have been physically involved in the past–in starts and stops, and in a way that tends to end chaotically.
What the books haven’t delved into as much–yet–is how hard it would be to be in a physical or romantic relationship with someone who knew exactly what you felt–especially if you were the type of person, like Lia, who spends her life hiding behind different personas and deceptions, so that no one can touch the real vulnerabilities you have inside. We also haven’t seen much discussion–yet–of how difficult it would be for Michael to be intimate with someone who knows when he’s lying, even when he’s lying to himself. Like Lia, Michael’s a person who lies to make things matter less–and when he and Lia have been physically involved in the past, that becomes harder and harder to do.
Even beyond their gifts, Michael and Lia have a lot in common. In ALL IN (Naturals #3), you’ll get to see this in a bit more detail, specifically with respect to the way they understand each other’s past and what it’s like to grow up with different kinds of abuse. Michael and Lia are both risk-taking chaos-seekers with a tendency toward the self-destructive. They’re both experts at pretending that nothing and no one can touch them. That makes for a dangerous combination, platonically or otherwise.
But, more than anything–more than on-again, off-again, more than friends, more than people who pretend they don’t understand each other because neither one of them wants to be understood, more than a dangerous combination–Michael and Lia are what all of the Naturals are for each other. Family.
Dean and Lia have the most sibling-like relationship of the group, but all five of the Naturals fill a void in each other’s lives that binds them together more tightly than romance or friendship. They’re a unit, a team, a support system, and they love each other fiercely, down to the one.
Which, of course, makes romance or physical relationships between any two of them even more complicated…
Michael x Lia Coded Songs (Tate McRae Version Pt. 2):
Sports car
Pretty blue streetlights and my hazel eyes I think you know what this is...
Call my Bluff
I blame you and you blame me. I put fire to your gasoline.
Stupid
Should've read the warning on the label, I don't. Said, "Proceed with caution," but I wont. Guess I do it often, I know I'm already gone... You're so bad for my health But I just can't help myself
Tit for Tat
Let's go song for song, let's go back to back (back to back) Let's go tit for tat, boy, you asked for that (asked for that)
Revolving Door
Tried to call you Off like a bad habit. But I keep comin' back like a revolvin' door Say I couldn't want you less, but I just want you more... Change my mind so much it's exhausting.
Get what I want (unreleased)
I get, get, get just what I want And last I checked, it's you What's a couple shots from the devil's cup gon' do?
Here comes me with another rant☺️🤞I don't think I'll stop sorry☺️
I don't fully know how to explain the suspense and that feeling when you keep waiting for something terrible to happen that I felt reading this chapter, but it was so extremely well done it had both fun banter moments and some ominous tone as well👀the way you flashed out Lia's backstory has me sweating to know more, I felt this little drop in my stomach when this guy calls her Sadie out of nowhere. and holy protective Michael that was so in sync with his character and so natural of him (pun intended) at the same time. You wrote this whole ordeal and this whole concept of the AU so naturally it actually feels like they belong inside it.
Kai hating Michael with every inch in his body was not on my agenda but that was so accurate😭I had headcanoned even in the actual story that the cats Lia is so fond of hate Michael but that was on another level🤣
And Lia having a sweet tooth.....yes yes yes yes she's so me in this department.
So....is there anyway you could give a small hint, like a quote or an emoji or even like a single word about the next chapter?👀
Don't stop! 🥹 I would never want you to. I have entirely too much fun reading and responding to these.
I'm so glad the tone hit and that you felt the characterizations (love the pun) made sense! It means so much to me, especially because I imagine Michael's relationship with Lia is a tad bit different in this context. Seeing as they're not forced into the same space, every time they come together it's an active decision on both of their parts so I don't think there's as much animosity towards one another as in the original series if that makes sense? It also, selfishly, makes it a tad bit easier to try to resolve some of their problems by the end. That being said, they're both still complicated, volatile people, and some of those underlying issues—not wanting the other to see them too deeply and clashing because they don't let people in—are definitely still there.
And yes, Lia's cat hating Michael just made complete sense to me (especially early on), and I couldn't resist sneaking in Lia's ice cream obsession.
I shall give you the chapter spell which I think explains a lot though you might not fully appreciate how perfect it is until you read it.
Priori Incantatem (The Reverse Spell Phenomenon): An extremely rare reaction that occurs when wands sharing the exact same core are forced to duel. Instead of performing standard magic, the wands lock together in a beam, forcing the losing wand to regurgitate its most recent spells in reverse chronological order.
Chapter 2 and 3 are both out!
🔮✨ Amortentia ✨💖
your post about mini naturals stories has greatly inspired me btw 😇😇
👀 YAY! Love to hear it and always always looking forward to ur posts
Can JLB actually release a whole BOOK of like mini-Naturals stories. Could you imagine? If she does, this is what I need:
A prequel Lia and Dean scene
A chapter where Michael comforts Lia after the cult and they talk
A Veronica, Laurel, and Cassie sister outing
A Michael and Lia jealousy fight and then kiss chapter (bc how did we only get one kissing scene of the most physical couple?)
A Sloane, Cassie, and Lia girlhood moment
A Michael and Celine catching up scene (I can imagine them by a lake when she's drawing) with mentions of Celine's crush on Sloane
A Striggs chapter where they fight but then make up after
The moment Sloane realizes Celine is actually hitting on her
A Lia and Laurel cult bonding moment
Michael and Dean going out together
Michael throwing Briggs a bachelor party and inviting all the guys
Judd taking Sloane out to buy things for one of her expirements
Sloane learning more about Scarlett through her old diary
A Celine and Lia bonding moment where they mess with Michael
A Dean and Sloane prequel moment when Sloane initially worries that Dean doesn't like her but he proves her wrong
A Mackenzie and Laurel scene with Cassie supervising
The Naturals going with Sloane to Aaron's grave
Dean comforting Cassie after she wakes up with a nightmare post Bad Blood
These are just the basic ideas. If anything, I want a whole Michaelia book.
🎧✨ One More Night by Maroon 5 ✨🎧
I'm forever obsessed with this song being Michaelia coded. Literally every single line is them. (While Michael and Lia's relationship goes way deeper than just sexual, let's be real, they're VERY physical too so the song still hits right 🤭🔥)
🎵 You and I go hard At each other like we're going to war You and I go rough We keep throwing things and slamming the door You and I get so Damn dysfunctional, we start keeping score You and I get sick Yeah, I know that we can't do this no more, ayy
But baby, there you go again, there you go again Making me love you Yeah, I stopped using my head, using my head Let it all go, ooh Got you stuck on my body, on my body Like a tattoo And now I'm feeling stupid, feeling stupid Crawling back to you
So I cross my heart and I hope to die That I'll only stay with you one more night And I know I said it a million times But I'll only stay with you one more night
Try to tell you "no" But my body keeps on telling you "yes" Try to tell you "stop" But your lipstick got me so out of breath I'll be waking up In the morning, probably hating myself And I'll be waking up Feeling satisfied but guilty as hell, ayy 🎵
[the rest of the song repeats so I don't need to put it in again]
Michael x Lia Coded Songs (Tate McRae Version Pt. 1):

Michael x Lia Coded Songs (Gracie Abrams Version):
Mess it Up
Cause every time I get too close, I just go mess it up I keep thinking maybe if you let me back in We can make it better, breaking every habit
Cool
I said, "I lied to your face, you can suck it up" ... You run your hands through your hair, phony superstar
(can I just say the use of the names Cass and Sadie in this! Come on.)
Risk
God, I'm actually invested ... Watch this be the wrong thing, Classic Heard the risk was drowning but I'm gonna take it
Brushfire
We became a brushfire, burning all the pain. How can we survive a desert without rain ... Your words hit me like a hard rain in LA
I Love You, I'm Sorry
I push my luck, It shows ... You were the best but you were the worst as sick as it sounds, I loved you first. I was a dick, it is what it is, a habit to kick the age old curse.
Us
And if history's clear, someone always ends up in ruins. And what seemed like fate becomes what the hell was I doing.
