we need to talk about obsession because i watched it thinking, “okay, fun little thriller moment,” and then somehow ended up sitting in silence afterward staring at my ceiling like i had personally gone through psychological warfare. there’s something so unsettling about the way the movie slowly pulls you in without you even realizing it. and you specifically? terrifying in the most complimentary way possible. like every scene had me stressed but unable to look away. i genuinely love when a performance feels a little dangerous like that, where you’re never fully sure what someone’s going to do next. which, naturally, makes me want to be friends with you so badly. apparently my brain sees someone be deeply compelling and mildly terrifying on screen and immediately goes, “yes, that one. we need her in our life.”( @nvrrtte )

I have to give a huge shoutout to all those fan edits for making me look probably a hundred times better but thank you, especially for the ego boost. i’ll be taking that with me into the last show and maybe amping things up to another level just for you. with some of the signs and the fan experiences, i’m leaving the shows needing the same thing. but i’m just happy being back out there and getting so much love. it’s making it even harder knowing it’s almost the end.

[lilipaureinhart]

please, as if the fan edits are doing all the work. they’re talented, obviously, but they can only enhance what is already very much there. and now knowing there’s even a small chance you might amp things up another level just because i said something? i’m taking full responsibility and also absolutely no responsibility at the same time. i can imagine how bittersweet that must feel, though. getting all of that love every night and then realizing you’re close to the end of it. it has to be such a strange mix of being exhausted, grateful, emotional, and not wanting to let go yet. but i hope you let yourself soak in every second of that last show. you deserve all of it.

and do you actually think it's worth watching now, or would i just be wasting my time? because i really don't want to start another show and end up feeling the way i did after watching "lost", since that was genuinely one of the worst endings i've ever seen in my life. but knowing myself, i think i'd be completely confused watching riverdale, especially with all the superpowers suddenly showing up out of nowhere. and someone fought a bear at some point too? what the hell is happening in that town, and why hasn't everyone abandoned it already? i have so many questions.

[lilipaureinhart]

i would never tell you to go into it expecting peace or logic, because that would be deeply unfair of me. if you watch it, you kind of have to accept that riverdale is less of a town and more of a haunted group project that everyone forgot to supervise. there are moments where you’ll be invested, and then five minutes later you’ll be staring at the screen like you personally need an apology. that being said, it’s definitely entertaining if you’re in the mood for something unhinged and dramatic. maybe don’t binge it looking for answers, though. treat it like a fever dream with good lighting, pretty people, and an alarming crime rate. as for why nobody left? honestly, excellent question. maybe the town had emotional blackmail built into the water supply.

[lilipaureinhart]

i’ve decided that at some point we absolutely need to play two wildly intelligent villains in a movie together. not the kind that are evil for no reason either, but the terrifyingly calm, beautifully dressed, always-three-steps-ahead kind that make everyone in the audience weirdly root for them anyway. i’m talking long conversations in dimly lit rooms, psychological warfare disguised as flirting, matching expensive coats, the whole thing. i feel like you’d be dangerously good at it, and honestly i would love the chance to stare at a conspiracy board with you while orchestrating fictional crimes. ( @houltnc )

[lilipaureinhart]

i genuinely think you have one of the most dangerous combinations a person can possess, which is being deeply talented and sounding emotionally devastating in interviews. every time i see another clip of you talking about love or grief or art, i leave feeling like i need to stare out a rainy window for a few hours afterward. i still think about your performance in tick, tick… boom! at least once a week, which feels important to disclose. ( @andrewgarfied )

[lilipaureinhart]

just need you to know that every single time i see clips from tour, i somehow end up reacting the exact same way like it’s the first time. there’s always a moment where i’m sitting there perfectly normal and then suddenly i’m saying “oh my god that’s so hot” out loud to absolutely nobody in my apartment. it’s honestly a little unfair how effortless you make performing look. the confidence, the vocals, the whole energy of it all? terrifying in the best possible way. i feel like people leave your shows needing both emotional recovery time and a glass of water. ( @dlcvatos )

[lilipaureinhart]

since i technically danced in the “swim” music video, that automatically means i deserve to learn the choreography properly now. i don’t make the rules. the problem is that in my head i already look graceful and mysterious doing it, but realistically i know there’s at least a seventy percent chance i’d look like someone trying not to slip on a wet kitchen floor. so i’m begging for lessons before i embarrass both of us publicly. preferably somewhere with no witnesses. ( @prkjimns )

[xnotnickj]

have you ever thought what it would be like if riverdale existed the same time outer banks existed? think it would have been cool if riverdale and outer banks sort of had a random ass cross over, would have been fun to work along side you. how are things with you? anything else you're working on? i did see the promos for forbidden fruits and at first i thought it was those stupid ai videos of fruits fighting each other and shit, but i was way off. @lilipaureinhart

[lilipaureinhart]

i’m upset we never got this because the idea of the obx crew somehow ending up in riverdale for a weekend sounds like absolute television chaos. like imagine jughead trying to explain the town’s serial killer history to john b while everyone from outer banks is just standing there wondering why nobody has simply moved away yet. i feel like it would’ve either ended in complete disaster or somehow become everybody’s favorite episode. also, thank you for making me laugh with the forbidden fruits thing because honestly? when i first heard the title out loud i had the exact same reaction for half a second. very relieved we ended up making a witchy horror movie instead of battling animated bananas. things are good though, just trying to balance work and having some kind of personal life at the same time, which i’m still not convinced is real. what about you? what’s been keeping you busy lately?

[pcrnellsella-deactivated2026070]

i'm all for manifesting this! that or just whining enough to someone who makes these choices. i imagine that it would be a mix of both? we love being devastating and chaotic! i think both would be the perfect combo. schedules honestly are, especially when balancing so many things. the universe better be listening to us!

[lilipaureinhart]

see, now i’m imagining us aggressively pitching ourselves for the same project like two theatre kids who drank too much coffee. “hi yes, we’re here to emotionally destroy people and look beautiful doing it.” though, i think the best stories are the ones that let you be both a little heartbreaking and a little unhinged. and if the universe ignores us after all this public manifesting, i’m taking it personally.

[maliiiiiks-deactivated20260715]

okay, let's go back to the topic of riverdale for a second. i never actually watched the show, so i have no idea what goes on there, but wasn't it originally just about a small town full of teenagers with a lot of drama? and then suddenly people started getting powers or something? i swear every time i hear someone talk about that show, it sounds completely different from what it was supposed to be in the beginning. one minute it's high school relationships and murder mysteries, and the next there are cults, alternate universes, and superpowers? please explain this to me because i feel like i missed ten seasons of whatever happened there. @lilipaureinhart

[lilipaureinhart]

i wish i had a normal explanation for you, but riverdale was never really interested in being normal. it did start as a moody little murder mystery with teenagers making terrible decisions in a town that apparently had no adult supervision, and then somewhere along the way it decided to become about cults, serial killers, maple syrup crime families, prison fight clubs, alternate universes, and yes, eventually superpowers. very casual. i feel like the best way to describe it is that every season woke up and chose a completely different genre. one day we were doing noir, the next day someone was levitating or discovering a secret sibling or fighting a bear. so you didn’t miss ten seasons of one show, you missed ten different shows wearing the same varsity jacket.

[pcrnellsella-deactivated2026070]

i realize that i have zero say in this. however, i'd like to know when are we going to get the chance to do something together? you are quite busy and i guess i am too, but i'd love a chance to work opposite you! it feels like it should happen. @lilipaureinhart

[lilipaureinhart]

we should start loudly manifesting this until somebody important hears us. i would love to work with you, and i feel like it would either be something very beautiful and emotionally devastating or something completely chaotic in the best way. maybe both? schedules are rude little things, but i’m choosing to believe the universe owes us this one.
