At this point, after all the contests and concerts, walking in heels really is second nature. ...you know, if not for my public profile, I'd make a decent stripper.

You know what's a great underrated part about being taller than most girls? Easy access to forehead kisses. chu!♡ 🎨 arupaka5tuki

laylily Going through old Thea stuff, and I loved Thea as the one who must say, "I have caused a problem, and now I am obligated to tell you about it to move forward the story."

laylily I love approaching lotus with ideas for character lore and drama. She's always appreciative, because we have the same brand of evil in our hearts toward our characters.

Heart-Eyes (for reasons): 1. Rain on Roses 2. Dance to Her Heartbeat 3. Nights/Mornings 4. Worship (On My Knees) 5. Gamegirl 6. So Hot, So Toxic 7. The Drama of it All 8. In Our Own Way 9. Entry Hazards 10. Dusk & Dawn 11. Say F*ck Me (Like an Invitation) 12. Spikemuth Hangover 13. Heart-Eyes Close

Oh, PLEASE let me get on a guest track. On the grounds of: It would be very funny.

There are power dynamics everywhere.

Darn, in the top to bottom hierarchy, if Klara made me subby, then I'm like... a super sub to everyone who dommes her.

13. Thea call herself a switch. This is a very ambitious thing for her to claim.

laylily I need more fan regions based on real world places. Lumia is from Souvié, which is Quebec. Thea is from Messol originally, a region in the American South, probably around the Tennessee and Carolinas. I need more regions people make up.

The romance of putting pen on paper, dear. I wouldn't really use such a pretty term for us. Not now, at least. Besides, it's not like I sign your name on the song. And are you really telling me you don't get a little thrill being the only one to truly know when a song is yours?

Nice try. I work on lyrics in my notebook. I like the tactile experience. There's more romance to it than writing in my notes app.

Ooo, you know, moan and phone rhyme. I can do something with that...

... ...... (Starts writing new lyrics.)

"Because you deleted the recordings. Yes?"

I can't help it if you were a delicious muse. You remember all the pretty sounds you 𝑖𝑛𝑠𝑝𝑖𝑟𝑒𝑑 out of me, no?

The real cultural victory is putting out songs about your exes that your exes can't stop listening to. And this song is a diabolical homage.

laylily Been a minute since I shared this headcanon, but I think the legendary Pokémon species wouldn't exist as single entities that only one person can catch. That feels designed for game logic where you're a main character. I think of legendaries as rare "shards" of a more divine origin being.

Psh. You can go to therapy and occasionally engage in some silly fuck-marry-kill shenanigans. I've been the queen of therapy this past year.

I like the warm weather returning, but there is a shame to putting away my cute coats and sweaters. I do have a meeting in Lumiose, so at least I have the excuse of taking a stroll through Wild Zone 12. Things always stay nice and chilly there.

laylily Thea's Galar team after one gym! (Did you know they give you a Leaf Stone, a Fire Stone, and Growlithe crazy early in this game? Bonkers.)

(Thea exhaled the breath she was hanging onto, trusting Zoey to be honest with her. There was a time where Zoey would lie and hold back her feelings for the sake of the people she cared about. But she was really working on that. Thea could see that.) I love you, too. (She touched Zoey's cheek,+

(yaaaaawn) I'm sorry, what day is it? Hm? #SeductiveSunday? I think I'm just fine then.

laylily For folks playing Champions, you're welcome to be my friend! 7610 8673 0142

Nice to see her as the one dealing with this for once instead of the other way around.

Right. Kinda forgot the holiday. I guess when you haven't been practicing for years, the high holy days are less obvious.

Keeping #seductivesunday a little more wholesome this week, because my girlfriend is so goshdarn seductive on mornings like this.

laylily Man, sometimes the remnants of drama or an account or situation I was wholly oblivious to cross my timeline and remind me how many corners of even this verse I've never touched.

Someone said Fishnet Friday, so enjoy a promo shot while I work on the single and video for "Heart Thieves (Always Get Caught.)" (Really looking forward to the opinion pieces that come out after this one.)

(Thea nodded, understanding why Zoey didn't want to dwell on the drama, the corruption, and Thea nearly ruining their friendship.) Yeah, it was a lot of ups and downs. I guess... I dunno, I'm just glad I could work on myself enough that we could try this again, but healthy. Starting on that beach,+

Lucky me~ (Thea giggled, knowing damn well they were still riding the high of their honeymoon phase as things started settling down. They were all over each other constantly, and that wasn't ending tonight.) (She dipped her fries into her shake and a memory hit her.) Isn't it crazy that all the+

laylily And one for people who know Thea but not Lumia. Snatching from archie and bean.

(Thea pulled her girlfriend into a hug. She walked them to a chair, letting Zoey sit on her lap.) You're in casual pj attire. I know what almost naked Zoey is, and I'm excited to see her after dinner. (The burgers, fries, and milkshake were on the small table.) I wasn't gonna let you go hungry.

(Thea still can't help but smile.) It has. And I'm not giving it up for at least a few more years, I promise. Especially now that I know I still have you in my corner. No April Fool's, that does give me the warm fuzzies.

(Thea blushed, not expecting such a reaction out of her ex.) Plum... I'm sorry. It was a gag for the fans. And... well, gosh, I didn't realize how much you cared about me and my career. (She smirked, nudging Plum's shoulder with her shoulder.) Did you get soft on me, Plum?

(The sincerity, even through gritted teeth, caught her off guard.) Plum... It's 𝘈𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘭 𝘍𝘰𝘰𝘭'𝘴 𝘋𝘢𝘺. You don't think I'd let some conservative fuckwits tell me what to do, do you? They want me to settle down with A MAN. Ugh. I'm... sorry for freaking you out.

Oh, you know. Heard all those Ninetales News talking heads saying I should know when to settle down and stop being so worried about a career. Clearly it's time to move on.

Well, I guess it's been a good career. Time to drop some retirement easter eggs!

You underestimate how much I like goofs and gaffs. (Especially on April Fool's Day, you goof.)

Joking? Who would joke? Who would ever abuse Easter Eggs in such a way?

Well, I guess it's been a good career. Time to drop some retirement easter eggs!

Dreams laid out on the balcony floor, letting the Plusle climb on to play. Thea smiled and took Zoey's hand, pulling her back. "It's actually beautiful out tonight. So I thought... dinner and milkshakes under the moonlight? With plenty of cuddling afterward."

"Huh? Oh, yeah, Dreams flew me up to your balcony. I was just setting things down." Indeed, a blonde and her Dragonite are on the balcony of the apartment.

ㅤ she's going to give me BANGS. i'm going to lose my AURA . ㅤ

Really? It seems like the kind of thing you'd like. Though maybe you're more of a popping bubbles girl. Or those little jellies.

It's actually a shame I became such a big deal. If I was slightly lower profile, no one would question me coming along as an opener. But hey, if all goes well, maybe we can do a little minitour as co-headliners after this! Who knows? Our lives are weird, so it's hard to plan ahead.

It's definitely a different beast to have center stage to yourself for the entire show. But you've got this. And if you're ever just lonely up there, I'm sure the girls would love to come on for surprise guest song. And you know I'm around whenever you'd like to bust out Are We Enough Yet.
