Empty calories. HMC is one of their less subtle films with the meta context having been clearly stated multiple times and an entire book available to make comparisons against and the best she's got is "empty calories".

There are so many themes to discuss in this film. Like love, acceptance, maturity and obvious anti-war message. What about Sophie and her character development?

Is this pic something Mikaila made or parody of it?

She’s a critic

How to spot a self-ask, part (n+1);

Two days ago:

Today:

Like... you do realize that you don't need to send yourself an ask to show this stuff off, right Lily?

[mossyfluorite]

Lily I don't think you realize this means it's an obvious Self Report how much into Incest you are, considering how much you bring up the topic.

Schrödinger’s Joke: The Anatomy of a Lily Orchard Backpedal

If there is one consistent pattern I have documented with Lily Orchard, it is that she effectively lives on a five-second delay between "Action" and "Consequence."

Back in November, I noted that Lily is horrifically impulsive. She posts first, panics second, and edits third. But with the recent "Fake Britt Screenshot" debacle, we are seeing her favorite damage control tool in real-time: the "It Was Satire" Defense.

For those who missed it: Lily posted fabricated screenshots of Britt to frame her. When she was immediately called out for forging evidence, the narrative pivoted. Suddenly, it wasn't a "receipt", it was a "joke." It was "satire."

This is the Schrödinger’s Joke maneuver. You post malicious content with the intent to harm, and then you wait for the reaction to decide what it was. If people believe it, you keep it up and use it as a weapon. If people debunk it, you claim it was "obviously a joke" and call the critics stupid for "not getting the satire."

This isn't "comedy." It’s a tactical retreat. You don't "joke" about faking evidence unless the evidence failed to stick.

The "Britt Joke" isn't an isolated incident; it's just the latest patch update to a buggy operating system. Remember Courtney? Lily originally posted her full phone number. She didn't censor it until after the backlash hit. She didn't care about Courtney's safety; she cared about her own ToS violation.

Or look at the stream back in February of last year where she encouraged the mass reporting of Sai and Ant. When people pointed out that this is literally targeted harassment (a bannable offense), she cut that portion out of the VOD entirely.

Lily likes to present herself as a mastermind playing 4D chess against her "stalkers." The reality is she is playing Whack-A-Mole with her own bad decisions. It is never proactive (thinking about ethics beforehand). It is always reactive (realizing "oh shit, this makes me look bad" afterwards).

And of course, when the "It was a joke" defense fails, and the silent edit fails, we arrive at the final boss of excuses: The Identity Shield.

As I predicted back in November: "If she gets nuked for it, she'll blame transphobia just like she did the last time." She didn't learn from the "Go play in traffic" ban. She didn't learn from the Courtney dox. She hasn't learned from the fake Britt screenshots. She just learns new ways to hide the body.

[confused-rat]

While we're on the topic of faking screenshots, could I pretty please ask for a Confused Rat Archives recap of that time Lily tried to pretend she'd faked having ASlutPhone files on her computer to 'own the stalkers'? Because that was the most embarrassing shit ever and should never be forgotten.

Oh absolutely!

So back in September 2024, while Lily was streaming one day, her downloads folder was shown onscreen long enough for some people to take note of a strangely named program in her list of files. 

People were quick to google and figure out this was the name of a porn game on itch.io, where player’s played as a teenage girl on her phone sexting people (including her own brother and father). 

At first, when people started confronting her about it, Lily played dumb and pretended the incest game in question was the Coffin of Andy and LeyLey game.

It took six whole days before Lily finally decided to say “hah! You fools! I deliberately looked up the raunchiest game on itch.io and renamed one of my other NORMAL games to trick the stalkers!! Hahahah—“ To which she posted “evidence” of the opened program to show the other game within, with the program’s creation date being before the original stream. 

Of course, Lily could very well have changed the other game’s file name after she was caught, so her evidence proved literally nothing. It also took way too long for her to reveal this fact at all, which was suspicious, as one would think when setting up this “prank” you’d have the evidence it wasn’t true on-hand. Plus, she had already tried to appear clueless when people first started confronting her about it, which didn’t make sense in hindsight as she should have known what people were talking about if she planted the file name herself!

(Not to mention, Lily was also incredibly aggressive during this entire situation, which was weird, considering she was claiming to have done all this on purpose.)

Another big issue is that the file name Lily used wasn’t the one that was listed on the website, it was the file name you could ONLY KNOW if you downloaded the game yourself.

(Note how both the game’s download and Lily’s file both contain the extra dash and lack of spaces.)

So supposedly, just for a prank, Lily downloaded an incest porn game to get the EXACT file name to rename a totally different game in her downloads folder to trick her stalkers into outing themselves as creeps for recognizing said name... despite google existing and said file name being A SLUT PHONE, and then proceeded to get mad when people asked her to provide proof. Uh huh. Okay. 🤨 

But the biggest cherry on top of this “you fucked up” sundae, was that wasn’t the only suspicious file noted in Lily’s downloads that day. There was also a file named Sisters - Ruby&Yang, which, after another quick google search, turned up another incest porn novel of the exact same name, about two underage sisters. 

Lily’s excuse here was that it was just a coincidence that both had the exact same file naming conventions and hers only held footage of the two she was going to use for her Siblings video.

She also tried to spin this back on her critics for knowing of said porn game, despite the fact that, again, if you google said file name with quotes, it’s literally one of the first results. 🙄

So anyways, we all called bullshit on the entire situation and Lily had to quickly move the optics away by posting lies about JoshScorcher dating an underage girl again. Fun times.

[opinated-user]

I'm sure cd hasn't realized it but her saying that the only real and believable crimes are the ones where the perpetrator gets jailed, means that, in her own words, Courtney didn't do anything to her, lizzy didn't abuse her, Britt isn't a stalker, and or course half the people she says are pedos aren't pedos. Oh and her parents didn't abuse her, cuz again no jail time.

By her own standards she shouldn't be allowed to say any of the negative stuff she says about these people because they're not in jail or were ever arrested. But of course I'm sure if someone told her this, told her that they didn't belive she was hurt by these people because, like she said, no convictions means no crimes, she'd blow a gasket.

Like according to her own statement, if Courtney actually admitted to SAing her, we'd have to just say 'well it couldn't have been that bad, cuz well u see, no jail time'. I mean, has she forgotten that the statute of limitations exists?!

literally the only person that LO allegedly ever came in contact with and alledgedly ended up in jail is Tara/Allison/whaterver new name LO is giving her now... someone that she has failed, over and over and over again, to even prove was a real person and not her fucked up attempt as gaslighting and catfishing a lesbian into dating her, after being told multiple times no.

An Unchecked Ego

Lily’s ego really is at the center of everything she does. She can’t just dislike something, she has to make it sound like she’s morally correct for disliking it. It’s not enough for her to say “this isn’t for me.” It always turns into “this is bad, and if you like it, you’re stupid or unethical.” That’s the pattern with her. Her takes always have to make her look smarter, more enlightened, and more righteous than everyone else.

When Lily criticizes a piece of media, she doesn’t treat it as personal opinion. She frames it as an objective truth that proves she’s the only one really paying attention. People who disagree are, in her eyes, missing the point or being willfully ignorant. She talks down to her audience like she’s the only adult in the room. It’s not about discussion or interpretation; it’s about dominance. Her ego can’t handle the idea that her opinion might just be one perspective among many. It has to be the perspective.

And when she’s called out or corrected, she never takes it well. Instead of saying, “I was wrong,” or even just acknowledging that someone else might have a point, she doubles down and starts accusing people of being biased against her. Sometimes she even throws around accusations like “you’re transphobic” or “you’re bigoted” as a way to shut down the conversation entirely. It’s not that she genuinely believes everyone who disagrees is hateful: it’s that she can’t stand the idea of being publicly proven wrong. Turning disagreement into a moral issue gives her a way to protect her pride.

This constant moral posturing is also why her community feels so uncomfortable to be in. When your leader treats every difference of opinion as a personal attack, people stop thinking critically. They start repeating whatever she says because it’s safer. You can see it in how her fans talk: they mirror her tone, her phrasing, even her smug certainty. It’s not really a community built around shared interests, it’s a hierarchy built around her ego.

Her need to be right about everything also explains why she has so little curiosity. She’s not trying to understand new perspectives or learn something new. She’s trying to win. Everything becomes a test of who’s smarter or more moral, and Lily has already decided that the answer is always her.

At the end of the day, her whole persona is built on proving that she’s better than everyone else. The moralizing, the hostility, the lack of humility; it all feeds back into that same desperate need to be seen as the smartest person in the room. But the truth is, people who actually are confident in their intelligence don’t need to keep proving it. Lily’s constant need to assert superiority says more about her insecurity than her intellect.

Weird how Lily is autistic now, when she can use said diagnosis as a shield against people rightfully calling out her ableism—when she wasn’t seven years ago to win an argument against her mom on twitter.

Oh wait, I’m sorry, was that too long ago? How about last year when she said it was a “junk diagnosis.”

(Source)

So yeah, I wouldn’t claim her either, because she didn’t even claim herself until it benefited her.

[confused-rat]

I heard Lily was saying stupid shit about autism again.

Casual reminder she treats autism like a shield and only claims it when it helps her and disclaims it to win stupid twitter fights.

Can I get Lily being fucking racist against Asians for 200 again, Steve?

[confused-rat]

I hope people realize what Lily is saying here is that Asian media isn’t popular through their own merits, but solely because Western Audiences have a fetishistic preoccupation with Asian culture.

She is bundling several different cultures under one umbrella and invalidating all their efforts and accomplishments by tying it into the whim of Western fads.

She is saying that K-pop Demon Hunters, the movie that has reached Frozen levels of popularity, the movie whose songs are literally playing at local Walmarts, Baseball games, late night talk shows, getting reference by SNL, the fucking NEWS, is only popular because of horny weebs.

Ooooh, shut the f up

You yourself can't criticize something without blaming its authors and fans. For example, your criticism of Hunter's character is accompanied by accusations that his fans are fascists simply because they like him. So again, shut the f up

LO, fourteen year olds and incest

for a while now i have noticed a trend of LO to concentrate on the age 14 specifically, even more specifically about incest, and i couldn't understand why. let's count the ways in which 14 as an age appears in LO's works. 14 was the age of Elethyn Crane in the Scar universe. she has a crush on Ascentia (now called ass-ana), her adoptive older sister, and this is completely normalized by everyone in the family.

14 was the age of sexual consent in Equestria in the fic stockholm. the cutie mark crusaders, all of them with explicit sex scenes between each other, are all 14. one of them seduces a pedophile (rainbow dash) and later has sex with her older sister. this same character admits that she found out she was a lesbian by watching her older sister naked. 14 was the age of the girl in that disgusting video in which LO defends incest, pretending it was in response to a concerned father that never existed.(link to archived video so anyone can confirm) 14 was the age in which CLO was mentally/metaphorically raped by G in pokemadhouse. they were both raised together, almost like sisters.

so what, someone might ask. 14 is still underage, it's a child anyway, so why does it matter that 14 as an age appears so frequently? what i didn't realize until Courtney started talking is that LO was 15 when Courtney finally managed to stop the molestation at her hands. meaning that Courtney was 14 when LO's absurd fantasy of being "in love" with her sister ended.

LO has been romanticizing the 14 year old version of Courtney for years throughout many fictional characters, across multiple fandoms. all this time, she has been writing nothing else but cope fics where her "love" is normalized, accepted or even reciprocated. fics that she has continued to write even to this day. the concerned father in that video was supposed to be her own father reacting to the news of their "relationship." LO's advice of "don't do anything" is what LO would wish her father did. it all finally makes sense now and i hate it so much.

Great video that everyone should watch

Looked at Mikaila's new Digimon fic on AO3 and it's depressing how much of her 'solo' work is just vomiting up Lily's own patterns now. Why is anyone making cutesy incest jokes about siblings? Why are random outsiders assuming a polycule because there are three people at a table? Why is everyone constantly napping on each other and then being coy about it? This doesn't need to be the default for every single sibling relationship.

But I guess it does if you're writing for your wife and you know what she likes.

What do you mean people saw three teenage girls (one 14 and two 17) shopping and assumed they were all in a polycule?
