"You"

Awn, thank you Jennifer for including me! But that's not how I've been acting recently tho

The Naturals

I reread the books and realized I drew Sloane wrong.

Sloane has blunt, self cut bangs and straight, layered hair. Idk i might change Sloane’s hair later, idk. I’m hella indecisive. Thank you anon, I made Michael’s hair slightly darker.

Tanner brigs is drawn so much better than everyone else because I had a reference and I am too lazy to redraw everyone else.

unhinged things that actually happen in the naturals series:

cassie fucking jumps OUT OF A TREE onto webber (we moved on way too fast from this)

michael accuses his father of sleeping with his business partners daughter but surprise! celine is actually michael’s half sister

cassie’s mom dated a guy who had an evil twin locked up in a hidden basement in a church (genuinely what the fuck was going on in gaither)

said evil twin escaped from said hidden basement and tried to kill cassie’s mom so naturally she killed him

“never have i ever made out with michael townsend” “someday, big guy. if you’re very good.” (WHAT THE FUCK)

briggs gets poisoned in vegas, he recovers and it is literally never mentioned again

judd asks cassie if her grandma is single at her MOM’S FUNERAL (that’s one way to do it i guess)

lacey locke used her own mo as an example of one when she was teaching cassie (this was so fucked up btw)

malcolm lowell fucking stabbed HIMSELF a crap ton of times just so it wouldn’t seem suspicious that his daughter and son-in-law got killed

oh and he also ran away from gaither despite needing a live-in nurse (how did he even manage that)

aaron shaw FUCKING DIES

daniel redding quotes shakespeare (fairly often)

sloane’s mom overdosed. this is mentioned exactly two times

celine does facial reconstruction on two dead bodies and uses this as a date opportunity with sloane

lia lived in a bathroom at the met

cassie describes her voice as “seductive” when trying to play to TA geoff’s ego (i found this very funny but also i was slightly uncomfortable)

grayson shaw is actually kind of a psychopath and adopts another daughter that he uses to guilt trip sloane (i am going to kill that man)

I genuinely feel sorry for people who don't hear "Céline Delacroix" in a French accent in their heads. You're missing out on the full experience.

“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 🥹🥹🫰🫰💖

[rainforcsts]

no one asked but here's all the info about the naturals characters (mainly core 5 + celine and the agents) that is either implied or stated

ⓘ CLEARING OUT MY DRAFTS

character omitted = hella unknown

ages:

cassie - 17 (all four books)

sloane - 17 (all four books)

lia - 17 (book 1-3, unclear whether she's 18 in book 4) → only stated by michael that "she doesn't need kid gloves" after stating that dean was 18 but michael doesn't know when lia's birthday is (??? wtf boy)

michael - 17 (book 1-3), 18 (book 4 ch20 onwards)

dean - 17 (book 1-3), 18 (book 4)

celine - 19

briggs - 29 (book 1-2), 30 (book 3-4) → he's a scorpio on the cusp of sagittarius and because between book 2 and 3 it skips to the new year, his birthday is held then

director sterling - around 65

judd hawkins - 60something

laurel hobbes - 4

no info on veronica sterling → safe to assume she's around briggs's age or slightly younger (because of her "youngest to graduate the fbi academy" thing)

birthdays:

michael - march 31

briggs - anywhere from november 19 to november 23

dean - anywhere between january 14-15 to march 29

no info on everyone else → HOWEVER, elena calculated sloane's birthday to be june 21 and aaron's to be july 27

sexualities:

celine - lesbian

sloane - sapphic

no info on everyone else → although you could argue that michael is implied to be queer because of what thatcher said to celine "that he could have stamped the bad blood out of you when you were younger, just like he did for his son"

birthplace/hometown:

cassie - denver, colorado + gaither (not a real place), oklahoma

sloane - las vegas, nevada

dean - quantico, virginia

lia - new york (where she and her mother fled to), china → dean says that lia's mother was in the country illegally, unclear where they started from but presumably china (cuz zhang isnt spelled zhang in taiwan)

michael - new york

celine - new york

briggs - texas → his social security number starts with 449 (texas's area number)

no info on everyone else → safe to assume that sterling was born and raised in dc because fbi directors stay in dc

eye colours:

cassie - blue

sloane - blue

lia - black/dark brown

dean - dark brown

michael - hazel

sterling - grey

no info on tanner briggs

hair colours:

cassie - red/ginger

sloane - blonde

lia - jet black with electric blue streaks

dean - blonde

michael - brown

sterling - brown

briggs - brown

middle names:

michael - alexander thomas

celine - elodie

briggs - elias

aaron shaw - elliott

no info on everyone else → based on what i know about chinese people aka myself and the people around me, lia is unlikely to have a middle name especially if she's from china HOWEVER it's still possible and she probably makes one up on the spot every time

age the naturals joined the programme:

cassie - 17

sloane - 14-15 → more likely to be 15 because "for years, it had been just (dean and lia)"

lia - 13

dean - 12

michael - 16-17 → more likely to be 17 but "i've only been here for a few months" is vague so

why/how they joined the programme:

cassie - ...business card... from michael at her waitress job...

sloane - flagged down by her father so that she can be far away from him

lia - hauled off the streets and blackmailed by director sterling

dean - the reason why the programme was created because briggs kept coming to him with cases and the director found out

michael - traded in to the programme in place of his father's white collar crimes

additional info that could be useful:

as of all in, michael and lia have been physically involved no less than 6 times

michael has been expelled from 3 boarding schools (on purpose)

lia killed a man when she was 9, escaped the cult when she was 12

michael was a bruised mess when he came to the programme → he "lost it" on some kid and sent him to the hospital

cassie was 12 when her mother went missing

no info on when marie redding left → only that it was before dean turned 12

aaron is 1433 days (approx 3 years and 11 ish months) older than sloane

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.
