“lias a mean girl” = im a fucking stupid slow idiot who read the books with my eyes closed 🥺

DISCLAIMER don’t take the title too seriously pls 🤓 unless the shoe fits stick it up ur ahh & wear it idk bomboclat bro

also this isn’t targeted towards ANYONE!!!!!!! i wanna make that very clear!!!! i never make targeted posts ever!!!!!!! i wanted to defend my baby lia ok because people seem to have the complete wrong idea of her so

FIRST THIS:

if lia was white i doubt any of u would hate her this much. so much of lia hate is just really badly masked racism & misogyny (trust me we can tell). i guarantee if lia was a white girl/boy she would be labeled as an icon. she’s the only poc girl in the group & somehow shes still the most hated…… meanwhile michael is the same as her (that’s literally their whole schtick, that they’re too alike) and i don’t see him get HALF of the hate lia does. i wonder why…. it’s probably because most of yall who hate lia r male centered racist misogynistic pieces of shit. it’s fine to not like lia as long as u don’t like michael either because that just shows ur hypocrisy u bird brained FOOLS!!! idc what excuse u try to come up with i see it for what it truly is. u guys r all about supporting women until that women isn’t white, doesn’t keep quiet / lets ppl walk all over her & has flaws. BECAUSE GOD FORBID a character that’s a woc isn’t just a side character there to support the white fmc & is tossed off to the side. maybe instead of posting hate on lia try working on ur reading comprehension & ur internalised racism & misogyny, thanks!

NOW CLEARING THIS UP:

“she told cassie to suck it up 😿😿” wow shrink your amygdala and grow your brain. are u so completely unable to read past the surface??? can you comprehend anything at all??? like genuinely even a 5th grader could get this. because cassie ends up spelling it out for u in the damn page: 3 people were going thru it, cassie michael & sloane. LIA COULDNT TELL MICHAEL TO SUCK IT UP BECAUSE BRO WOULDNT HAVE LISTENED ??? do u guys know michael’s character even a little bit?? HE DOESNT LIKE HEING TOLD WHAT TO DO especially when his emotions r this heightened. he came back after meeting with his father who beat his ass bro (lia literally said he was one bad decision away from eloping with a showgirl. do u guys really think that he was in the right headspace to listen to to lia??? fuck out my faceee😭😭😭) she also couldn’t tell sloane because sloane would’ve been CRUSHED, sloane isn’t really able understand many peoples actions, she would have thought that lia was genuinely dismissing her. she told cassie because she knew cassie would’ve been the most equipt to handle it (even cassie thought so). cassie said lia had said those words for a reason and said this, & i quote “You’re not cruel. Not like that.” and about the way she said it and her phrasing like omgggg yall want her to sugar coat shit sooo bad like omg grow tf up and stop being a whiny bitchass baby she was saying it how it is ppl were literally dying and time was ticking actually shut up. lia said she gets that this is hard for her and she gets that cassie has every right to deal with it but IN HER OWN WAY AND TIME. no one there at the current moment had the emotional bandwidth to deal with cassie’s situation. she also literally warned cassie before hand that she likes her and doesn’t hate her so what she said wasn’t coming from a place of malice. also cassie didn’t even take it this personally LMFAO. she understood ! also did u guys conveniently forget when lia told her it was her turn? when michael was finally in the right headspace she told him to put his big boy pants on because it was cassie’s turn. it wasn’t an orchestrated attack against cassie. plus cassie is a team player, she hates breaking down when she needs to solve shit so lia giving her a way to focus on michael and sloane was to give her time and so in the end her breakdown is not all of a sudden. they were at issue capacity. they had cases to solve. ppl should be thanking lia instead because she was actually the one who took initiative and starting setting things in order so it wouldn’t have gotten out of hand. too many emotions running wild during such an important case would have been BAD!!! do i need to explain why it would have been bad too?? or can u grasp that by urself 😹

now here are parts in the book that disprove her “mean girl/bully” reputation:

start of the book lia told cassie the truth abt the old ppl hung on the wall because she didn’t want cassie finding out on her own like she did because it could scare cassie a lot finding this out all on her own, lia didn’t like being lied to about it so she made sure cassie didn’t have to go thru that either (BECASUE SHE CARES! even tho just JUST met cassie)

lia giving cassie the run down of everything (this is so cute im 😭)

was the FIRST to ask cassie if she was okay (with a whole emotion reader & profiler in the room, LIA was the first to ask)

noticed cassie was uncomfortable and cut the convo short (she’s so in tune with cassie’s emotions bro 🥹🫰🫰)

brushed cassies hair while cassie was crying and made her laugh #cassieliacanon

cares abt dean so much like das her brudda 😿😿

hugged & comforted sloane even tho she says she isn’t a hugger & doesn’t like showing vulnerability but knows sloane needed her

THE emotion reader literally said she’s more vulnerable than she lets on

comforted cassie and opened up about her own cult experience to help with cassie’s own cult related problems after sloane told lia cassie is down

still helped & cared abt michael even after allat shit he put her thru

cried and smashed things when cassie went missing + felt like someone put her in a hole (the hole being the place they used to lock her in as a child (like 6+) for days. an underground pit where she was left alone for days as punishment for refusing to submit or repent the way they wanted)

like against all odds this girl got super attached to cassie (and michael) in only a span of a few months. YES even after her situationship and brother and sloane. obviously watching everyone drift toward the new girl is gonna make ANYBODY feel some typa way. it made her feel replaced. she’s seventeen and doesn’t really know how to handle losing people like that like GOD FORBID A GIRL ACTS HER AGE

anyway cassielia canon cassielia outsold and cassie (& the rest of the naturals) would smack u right side up for talking abt lia that way ok 🥹🥹🫰🫰💖

Cassie and Lia Headcanons

Warnings⚠️:- Mentions of trauma, cults, rough childhood,Mentions of Sh, Slight mentions of freaky stuff Notes:- These lowkey kinda sucked but umm it is what it is, Requested by:- @scardeyycatt, Divider credits:- @pixopix, @dividers-are-us

Cassie constantly finds her clothes in Lia's closet and takes it back only for the same clothes to go missing a few days later

Cassie's name in Lia's phone is 'Little miss angst'

After a few months of them knowing eachother Cassie could figure out when Lia was upset and she just knocked on her room with a tub of ice cream in hand... Lia just dramatically rolls her eyes at her but till lets her in

Lia after the whole cult thing was over stole Michael's car and credit card and took Cassie out, it was the first time in weeks Cassie truly felt free just for a few hours

Lia is Cassie's personal stylist whenever she is going out on a date with Dean

Cassie has helped Lia dye her hair many times

Lia is not one to talk about her time in a cult but seeing Cassie sad about not being able to help Laurel she opens up a bit in hopes Cassie is not too hard on herself

For Dean's 18th birthday these two decided to bake him a cake... It did not end well... Judd was not happy

These two dance together all the time

It is Lia's priority to ragebait Cassie just to see her flustered and then tease her about being soo gullible

They never beat the dating alligations when they are out and about in clubs/parties (they play along with it because why not)

Whenever they are at a bar they use their skills into getting free drinks because the fbi does not pay them

Some of the things Cassie knows how to do in the bedroom are tips she got from Lia

Lia apologized to Cassie after believing she was going to die and realizing she might never get the chance to tell Cassie that she is family too

Cassie was the one who pushed Lia to talk to a therapist about her SH and Lia reluctantly agreed

Lia is the official third wheel for Cassie and Dean

They have seen eachother sneaking out of their rooms at night far too many times so after a while they just smirked and eachother before going into their boyfriends rooms

It is a known fact Cassie is a horrible Liar so Lia has given her a few lessons to save her ass if she was ever caught by any of the parental figures (Judd, Briggs, Sterling)

Cassie has taught Lia a few profiling tricks too just for fun

Lia gets really annoyed when Cassie is being sappy and flicks her forehead

They have given eachother the silent treatment before

They went CRAZY shopping for Briggs and Sterling's twins

When the others were at the fbi academy these two used to play uno every day after dinner

Lia sometimes still pushes Cassie away by being mean and whenever that happens Cassie knows to just give her space

Even if they are angry at eachother they will still save eachother's asses from trouble first and then fight it out later

Because they are young girls in a very male dominated field they have the time of their lives destroying the egos of misogynistic fbi agents

They curate the best music playlists together

They go bowling together all the time

Cassie never really found out how Lia got them both fake id's everytime she asks Lia tells her a different story

They have this non verbal agreement to never let Sloane feel left out even if they sometimes hangout without her

Cassie has scolded Lia before for being reckless, and Lia just shrugs it off with "Relax Cassie dearest let loose sometimes"

I get so fixated on the naturals i forget that ive read 60 other books too

[prophecywaiting]

“You seem pretty sad for a girl so in love” but about The Naturals

Since in less than a day the official OR3 era begins and “drop dead” is coming out, I decided I absolutely had to make this trend!!

╰┈➤ Dividers by @suupersonic

Cassie Hobbes:

You seem pretty sad for a girl so in love

You seem pretty lost for a girl who always finds the truth

You seem pretty strong for a girl so hurt

You seem pretty helpful for a girl who can’t help herself

Dean Redding:

You seem pretty emotionless for a boy so full of feelings

You seem pretty stable for a boy so overwhelmed

You seem pretty gentle for a boy who understands monsters

You seem pretty scared for a boy so strong

Michael Townsend:

You seem pretty unhappy for a boy so privileged

You seem pretty insecure for a boy so confident

You seem pretty unready for a boy who keeps testing how much he can take

You seem pretty loud for a boy so silent about what matters

Lia Zhang:

You seem pretty real for a girl who learned to survive by performing

You seem pretty sharp for a girl so wounded

You seem pretty fearless for a girl who learned fear too early

You seem pretty important for a girl who was always replaceable

Sloane Tavish:

You seem pretty lonely for a girl so surrounded

You seem pretty soft for a girl who was never told she was enough

You seem pretty quiet for a girl with so loud mind

You seem pretty overlooked for a girl who tries so hard to be seen

Veronica Sterling:

You seem pretty controlled for a woman so free once

You seem pretty imperfect for a woman who couldn’t afford mistakes

You seem pretty untouchable for a woman who used to be so friendly

You seem pretty breakable for a girl who never falls

Tanner Briggs:

You seem pretty obedient for a man who wants more than the system allows

You seem pretty human for a man who never gets to stop playing

You seem pretty unbothered for a man so close to disaster

You seem pretty composed for a man so responsible for broken people

Judd Hawkins:

You seem pretty cared for a man who once lost everything he had to care about

You seem pretty over for a man so unfinished

You seem pretty absent for a man so present in everything

I actually saw this idea on TikTok from @mars.archives and I also used the “You seem pretty insecure for a boy so confident” line from the video cause it’s such a good concept. I think I also saw a similar idea on tumblr a while ago, but I honestly can’t remember the account 😭

I’m really, really excited for OR3 era, and I’m sorry in advance but I’m going to be extremely annoying when the whole album comes out haha

Can you make Briggs x Sterling hcs (suggestive/smutty and not?)

SECRET HCS — briggs x sterling

NOTES ? ! mama y papa… i need them together again. (also, their meeting is not the same as the book).

! 18+ and not

They first met when Director Sterling was recruiting new agents

And obviously he used Veronica to help him

Tanner was cocky and smug, whenever he trained he would get under Veronica’s skin

But Veronica was better than him and he’d end up training overtime

When she complained about him to Scarlett, she started shipping them

When Director Sterling decided they’d become partners, his daughter wasn’t happy at all.

She was too emotional, since she worked hard to be a profiler she wanted every single case closed. At cost of her own safety.

Whereas Tanner was logical, he would never risk her, even if it meant catching a killer

The first time they did it she had almost gotten herself kidnapped

They were arguing on the way back, Tanner’s hands gripping the wheel so tight

“We were so close, Briggs, why couldn’t you just let me do it?”

“Because I can’t risk losing you, damn it!” he stopped the car

They kissed deeply and she climbed on his lap.

Sex for them is wild, with teeth clashing and hair pulling

He loves eating her out, feeling her nails rank his back as her body convulses in pleasure

“You like that, Ronnie?”

“Shut up and lick, Briggs.”

It didn’t take much for them to realise they were foolishly in love with each other and get married.

However, after Scarlett’s death, Veronica was never the same.

She drowned herself in work, she became obsessed with arresting killers and deliver justice. A justice Scarlett never had.

But the same obsession made her make a mistake and she got kidnapped by Daniel Redding.

When Briggs found out, he saw red and almost got himself kidnapped too, if it hadn’t been for Judd who stopped him.

Sterling managed to escape on her own, with Dean’s help, and they finally were able to arrest Daniel.

Scarred not only physically but also mentally, Veronica Sterling could no longer be what people expected her to be. A good wife and a strong agent.

So she filled out her divorce paper and her resignation letter.

Briggs didn’t want to divorce, he tried so hard to fight for them, but it was one-sided. His Ronnie had gone.

When she came back, to Director Sterling’s order and because she didn’t trust Briggs to handle the naturals well, he was relieved.

Seeing her face after so much time hurt him, though.

They hooked up in secret sometimes, even when they were broken up.

No one can make them feel like each other

They realised just how much they cared for each other when Nightbane injected Briggs with the venom

Veronica took him to the hospital and prayed, and when the killer told them the antidote, she ran to get it

Fortunately, it hadn’t passed enough time for it to kill him, so they were able to save Briggs

When he woke up, a little disoriented from the medical induced coma they had put him under to slow his heartbeat and his blood pressure, Veronica was holding his hand, her head resting uncomfortably against the bed.

“Ronnie… you’ll get a sore neck like that.”

She was so relieved, she hugged him so tight he almost chocked.

From then on, they decided they would try and see where their hearts took them. No expectation, no labels.

reasons they should totally cast me as michael townsend

i've also read jane austen performatively

i dont like it when people comfort me i just want to be alone with my emotions

i put up walls like im donald trump

i can tell irl if someone feels left out/ doesn't like me/ is bored/ doesn't like the person i'm talking about/ has gossip/ wants to be around me

i can't do this over text/tumblr (apologies to my lovely dovely moots)

i also found out that i had a secret step-sibling (cousin but wtv) in my teenage years

i endlessly ragebait people i dont like just for the bit

i have slight anger issues and will yell at people when i feel overwhelmed/ disappointed/ sad in general

my family would be super duper townsend level rich if they didnt spend it on stupid little things like their childrens education

im also a little in love with lia zhang

i also crash out when people choose a stinky man over me

i also bribe my friends with coffee

reasons i shouldn't

im not a brown-haired brown-eyed white boy

diversity hire who? 😍😍😍
