@massivedeal
my name is regina george and i am a massive deal. i don't care who you are. i don't care how you feel. an independent + EXTREMELY low activity for regina george from mean girls. personal blogs do not interact. written by lex, 25, she/her. sideblog to @warpainte
“ that bracelet's cute. ” it's fucking not, but @cutetalented is, so regina could pretend. “ did you, like... make it yourself? ” it looks homemade for sure, so it's not a compliment.
happy pride to closeted mean lesbians <3
@massivedeal ... she's sure she hasn't looked at herself more in the mirror than she has these past months. it's almost something she's not quite used to. never had she not known what she looked like, & yet now every day she goes through ups & downs of confidence, shifting with each of regina's words. now, as she tilts her head, she can't quite say what she feels about the reflection looking back at her. it's just so different, it's just so... regina. ❝ i don't know. ❞ the purse of her lips almost feels as if she's offending someone, especially as a flash of blonde hair moves behind her & her own gaze is immediately, magnetically, pulled. ❝ do you think it's... pretty? ❞
she hasn't felt this way about someone since middle school— only this time, it's different, because regina feels like all the power is in her hands; cady lacks the confidence in herself that janis had, the certainty of who she is, and regina's thriving because of it. she can play doll with her, turn cady into someone she's not, into someone who can't give regina butterflies, the way she never could have with her former best friend. she can feel her uncertainty, so she knows it's her job now to step in, to encourage this. hands move to rest on both of cady's arms from behind, chin hovering just above her shoulder, eying her in the mirror. “ oh, totally. ” her tone is overly saccharine, almost overkill, but she keeps going, shifting her gaze from their reflections to cady. “ i'd never lead you astray, would i? ” she would— she's lost count of how many times she's tried, but this isn't one of those times, because it does work for her, almost too well. she's hardly recognizable compared to the girl who first approached their table months ago.

love and hate go hand in hand — the only way janis could hate regina the way she learned to the last few years is because she used to love her. it's one thing to lose a friend, it's another to watch her change right in front of her eyes, especially into someone so cold, so bitter, so awful. everyone in this school seemed to have a certain perception of regina george --- and janis bought into it, too, but that's exactly why it was so hard to accept, why all her hurt and bitterness and resentment still suffocated her, even so many years later: because she knows who regina used to be. and while everyone around her seems desperate to seek regina's validation — janis may be the only person who really knows what it was like to be loved by her, and there's no greater feeling, nothing more satisfying, more ethereal than that, but it was gone too quickly. regina's support was once the thing that made janis feel the most free, gave her the most hope, and regina weaponized it against her, turning it sour. janis refused to let it break her, only allowing herself to feel more pride in who she was despite it all — but that did nothing for the ache in her heart that regina left when she broke it.
for years, she and regina avoided each other entirely; janis had nothing left to say to her anyway, or at least she thought, until cady came along and gave her the perfect opportunity to finally claim her revenge. it got obsessive, the way janis was so determined to make a point, to use cady as a window to regina, the person janis claimed to not care about anymore. and in some ways, that was true — she didn't care about her, didn't care what happened to her, but then she got hurt, and when she realized they could have lost her forever, she didn't know how to keep going on with so much hate in her heart for someone who used to be so important to her. she didn't know how to speak to her directly-- all she knew how to do was give her one small piece of comfort, in the form of a plushie left outside her door amongst all the outpourings of love from everyone else, but her gift didn't include her name, part of her still feeling like regina didn't deserve to see it, and another part of her holding onto hope that regina, despite everything, would understand anyway.
regina looks beautiful tonight. and not in the way that people have always called her beautiful, or in the way that she normally carries herself as if no one can compare — she looks beautiful in a way that goes beyond her looks, the mean exterior shedding enough to show janis a part of regina that she thought she'd never see again. and maybe it's only temporary, maybe once regina heals she'll go back to being the miserable self she's turned herself into these past few years, but janis wants to believe that this is the start of something new --- and maybe they can never get their friendship back, maybe that will never be who they are again, but it would be nice, not having to dread her presence everywhere she goes, even if just to exchange a simple smile with her every once in a while —— because when it's real, regina's has always been janis's favorite.
janis has never been the kind of person to falter from an awkward situation, and yet, standing in front of regina now, she feels herself freezing. the compliment makes her weary — but it makes her feel warm, too, in a way that she hasn't in so long. but she forces herself to be casual about it, not allowing it to mean too much, just for her own sanity. she smiles cooly, her hands moving to her collars and sliding off of them as she gives her a nod. ❝ too bad there's no crown for best-dressed, huh? ❞ making a casual joke to regina george feels strange, a wave of nostalgia hitting her immediately that forces her to move on rather than dwell. she wouldn't normally feel obligated to return a compliment, but it feels right, and maybe it's a small step towards actually checking in on her. ❝ you look good, too. dress looks like . . . you. ❞ or at least the regina that janis remember fondly, not the one she always wished to avoid. her brows furrow at the question, looking back at her suspiciously. it's not a bad idea — she's been dying to ask regina directly how she's doing, but it hasn't been her place; she just wasn't expecting regina to approach her like this herself. ❝ sure . . . ❞ she mumbles hesitantly, for the first time in a long time, neither having the right thing to say or to impulsively blurt.
it should probably be her turn to hate janis after learning that every bad thing that's happened to regina since the arrival of cady heron was encouraged by her, but she gets it. she was horrible to her, so regina understands the need for revenge. in fact, a part of her actually admires it, honestly, even if it ended in her almost dying. that part wasn't janis' fault, at least, but entirely her own— if she hadn't been so blind to everything around her, focused only on herself, maybe she would have seen that bus coming. after a lot of medication and some self-reflection, she's come to the realization that she should change, or at least try.
regina's not sure what she's actually expecting from the apology. surely, too much has changed between them for the two of them to ever go back to the way they once were, especially after regina ruined the trust between them, all for reasons she's still not comfortable enough to explain— but maybe, for the first time in years, regina's less concerned in what's in it for herself and more focused on doing the right thing. over the years, she's lost sight of what that actually means, because there was a time when she'd had herself convinced that what she did to janis was right, because she was only trying to protect herself. but she realizes now that she could have handled it better, that even if she couldn't deal with being her friend anymore, she didn't have to turn her into a joke.
she's a little surprised that janis is even entertaining her at all, half-expecting her to just roll her eyes and walk away, the way regina would have done to her just weeks ago. but she's grateful, even if she's still not entirely sure what to say, where to begin. “ we'd have to share it, but yeah. ” even when she's trying to start an apology, it's hard for her not to be vain, but it's become a part of who she is, for better or worse. regina's used to compliments, but it's different coming from janis, making her stomach flutter in a way that terrifies her, the same way it did when they were kids, but she doesn't panic this time— and it's only partially because her medicine helps her mellow out.
“ i know it's, like... years overdue, but i wanted to apologize. for... everything. ” the kiss, the way she reacted afterward, the avoidance, the laughing at her behind her back, letting everyone think janis was just crazy and obsessed, because if she could convince the entire school that she was the one with the crush, then regina felt safe. but that's no excuse, because janis didn't deserve it. “ i was a bitch. ” that's no secret, not when that's what she's been called for years, but she owned it for the longest time, taking it as a compliment— but when she reflects on the way she treated janis, there's no sense of pride, only regret. “ you were probably, like, the only real friend i ever had. ” everyone after only seemed to want to be seen with her, not really caring for who she was as a person— which is fair, given that the person she presented herself as was just an image, even if she ended up becoming it eventually. “ i don't expect you to ever forgive me or anything, but i'm trying to be better, whatever, so i just... thought you should know i'm sorry. and i miss you. ” the last sentence leaves her mouth without permission, the medicine making it harder for her to think before speaking, but it's the truth, at least.
“ god, she's hot. too bad she's like, seriously fucked up. ” maybe she's not supposed to be commenting on the cover of the magazine, because obviously, @ladyintree knew mikayla desousa. surprisingly enough, regina's never attempted to talk about tai's past before, mostly because she's rather keep the conversation centered on herself, not someone else. but it's not about what happened out there, so maybe it's fair game. she thumbs through the magazine, opening to the page about her, mostly just to see more of her— orange jumpsuit, black eye, hands cuffed, her eyes dead. still hot, so her point still stands.
not looking up, not gauging tai's reaction, she reads: “ she got denied parole for... repeated misconduct. ” prison fights, et cetera. regina doesn't read the entire thing, already bored, more curious in what she has to say about it. “ was she always like that? ” it's hard to believe, because she looks like someone she would have been friends with in high school— or maybe not, because regina would have viewed her as a threat, someone in her way.
it’s like regina was sent here purposefully to torture tai, because as her hair falls from her ponytail, tai’s mind is again transported back to a time before all that happened to her and all she lost—- when things were simple, back in her high school locker room, and her biggest stress of the day was trying not to let her eyes linger on the girl that was supposed to be her greatest enemy, but she’d always falter when she did exactly this. it’s not fair to regina, not when she looks this good, standing here in front of her, flirting with her, maybe trying to make something happen in the exact way tai’s been using to distract herself from everything else, but it’s hard not to find mikayla everywhere.
but she collects herself, like she always does. she made her own bed, mikayla was now a part of her past and there was no turning back after how long it had been since they’d been separated, so her only choice now is to try to convince herself that that feeling that she still craves can still exist —- in the arms of someone else, not fair to either one of them, but tai can convince herself that she’s doing the right thing if she can feel something at all. ❝ i hate a lot of people, ❞ she scoffs, shaking her head. ❝ but not someone who knows how to handle herself on the field. ❞ her eyes narrow in on her, then a brow raises. ❝ and off the field—- i’m assuming, ❞ she suggests. a smirk forms on her lips as she glances down, watching regina’s fingers grasp her jersey. she steps closer, shoving down the guilt she feels and focusing instead on how good it feels to just be close to someone again.
her tongue swipes over her lips, eyes obviously glancing down to regina’s lips before her eyes meet hers again. ❝ yes, ❞ she whispers, almost breathlessly, allowing herself to give into it fully as she leans her head in— not closing the distance herself, though. ❝ i want you closer, ❞ she suggests, bringing her hands to regina’s hips, tugging her closer, still not kissing her yet, still waiting to know it’s what regina wants, too — because the rejection here, after all the familiarities of what this is, it might only crush her.
it's too bad. she could have worked with tai hating her, because maybe then she could find a part of her in this— her childhood crush that turned to hatred, all because regina turned into someone else entirely, someone janis hated. for the most part, she's over it, not pathetic enough to be hung up on someone she had feelings for nearly ten years ago, but she'd be lying if she didn't wonder about her from time to time, if she didn't miss her.
she doesn't want to give in too easily, although really, she shouldn't be wasting time in such a public place— but that's half the fun of it, so she's not going to stop, either. she can tell tai wants her, which comes as no surprise, because everyone's always wanted her, except for— no. she's not thinking about her right now. tai's hands on her hips helps distract her, making it difficult to stick to her decision to wait, to torture her, especially after spending so many years of her life denying herself of this, forcing herself onto men instead. she leans in until their lips are almost touching, but stops there, smirking. “ do you think i'm that easy? ”
she meant something more along the lines of prideful, but regina’s suggestion definitely isn’t wrong, and it makes taissa smile, too. she takes the opportunity to look her up and down, letting her eyes linger, making it clear that she is checking her out. ❝ something like that, ❞ she mutters, raising her brow suggestively as her eyes meet hers again. but when regina goes on, it suddenly feels like she’s being punched in the gut, her stomach just barely faltering. ‘i always look good’ — - regina says it, but a different voice rings in her head, words she’s heard so many times before even in a place where none of them should’ve looked good. but she can’t let her mind go there, because that girl is a part of her past, declared entirely unobtainable, at least to tai. and it’s that fact that makes her curious, like she could fill the void of missing mikayla desousa by reminding herself that other girls exist, other girls can still give her that same rush, same push.
but replacing her is impossible, and even she knows it as she collects herself, her head tilting up, a smirk tugging at her lips. ❝ definitely not. i always notice you, ❞ she says, maybe a little too confidently, like she's trying to make up for something in her own head. ❝ it's just a lot more fun when you're not in my way, ❞ she teases, because regina definitely pushes her on the field — and it's good for her, but it can be frustrating and strangely nostalgic, too.
all things considered, regina should probably hate tai. she takes up most of the attention, not just because of what she went through — something that not even being hit by a bus and dead for fifteen seconds can compare to — but just the simple fact that tai's better than her. it does irritate her, still used to being at the top, where she belongs, but she can't deny that somehow, it just makes her more attracted.
she smiles, a little too satisfied with herself, bringing her hand up to undo her ponytail, shaking her head to allow her hair to fall over her shoulders. “ and here i thought you hated me. ” honestly, even if tai does, regina's unbothered, so long as she's still able to get what she wants. she doesn't need her to actually feel anything for her, not when she's mostly interested in one thing. she moves closer, ignoring the anxiety in her telling her that she should stay away, that she's not safe here, where anyone could easily walk in. but her confidence, like always, doesn't falter despite everything going on in her head. her head tilts slightly, fingers reaching out to grasp at the hem of tai's jersey. “ i'm in your way right now, ” she says, her voice low, eyes moving up from the space between them to meet tai's eyes, a smirk on regina's lips. “ do you want me to move? ”
@ladyintree: you look good like this.
“ what, covered in sweat? ” in high school, the thought of even being seen like this would have disgusted her, even if regina pulls it off— but it's different now, because she needs this to help release some of her anger, to channel her aggression in healthier ways. the fact that it occasionally means she's alone in the locker room with a hot girl just happens to be a plus. she shouldn't even entertain this, because it's different when they're at a party, when she can blame all of her desires on being drunk— but maybe the high of winning can be enough to excuse it this time. “ i mean, obviously. i always look good. and you're just noticing now? ”
she's trying to change. or maybe that's all the pain medication talking. she sees no other option, not when she's been dethroned, and deep down, she knows she has to. the cold and heartless act worked for a while, and she'll miss it, the way everyone looked at her— but it couldn't last forever, regrettably. there's a long list of people she owes apologies to, most of which she's unwilling to actually give, but at the very top of that list is @massivelez.
in a way, she was the start of it all, the reason that regina crafted the whole mean girl persona in the first place. while janis was proud of her sexuality, comfortable with who she was, regina wasn't. when she came out, regina had no issue with it, supported it, but then it got her thinking about herself: the feelings she'd had for her best friend finally began to make sense, the disinterest she had in boys her entire life falling into place, and it terrified her. she had to prove herself wrong, that she was only having those thoughts because she was curious, not because she actually liked her— the kiss did the opposite of that, only confirming her fears: she had a crush on her best friend. one she couldn't handle, because it meant embracing something about herself she wasn't ready to face yet, so she pushed janis away, turned cold, ruined everything, all to protect herself.
out of everyone, she's the most difficult to face. not just because of the neck brace that makes it hard to physically look at her, but the knowledge that janis doesn't owe her any of her time. she has every right to hate her, because regina's betrayal to her best friend is probably the worst thing she's ever done— but that's why she has to apologize. and if janis doesn't accept it, at least she has the pain meds to soften the blow. “ nice suit. it fits you. ” the compliment's genuine, unlike all the fake ones she'd hand out before, only to roll her eyes and laugh the moment the receiver turned their back. “ can we talk? ”

@doomdays: all women are hot to me.
“ that's fucking generous. ” judgement drips from her words, disgust painted across her features. her gaze flickers from van to misty, attempting to question their statement with that look alone. regina leans back, resting on the log behind her, pushing her hair behind her shoulder. “ she's hot to you? really? ”
