Some people it’s a literal compulsion. I knew a girl who’s favorite lie was that she was already married and to her first cousin, to the point where she made a fake marriage certificate to show me, even though I never cared or asked or questioned her.
Some people are so desperate for attention that they create bold elaborate stories to make themselves more interesting, without actually focusing on what makes interpersonal relationships strong (sharing interests, showing sympathy and empathy for other people, having compatible personalities.)
When we only had Volpina, it felt like it was about instant popularity and establishing herself as Top of the Pecking Order. (that’s my interpretation, some ppl see it as a nervous girl trying to make friends). But now with hindsight and new episodes, I also think Lila is very narcissistic.
Narcissism has other symptoms other than just thinking the world of yourself. It also makes you think that you can do no wrong. When Lila was called out by Ladybug, she instantly hated her. At the time we could believe that, Ladybug went over the top in exposing her and was really harsh, anyone would be embarrassed and humiliated. But by the end of Volpina and especially in Catalyst we see that Lila not only still hates Ladybug but holds a great grudge against her, to the point of siding with a villain. She has done no reflection on the fact that her lies put her in a situation to get humiliated in the first place. The fault is entirely Ladybug’s.
Narcissists will hold onto any slight against them and stew over it, even if someone didn’t mean to hurt them or doesn’t think it was a big deal. A narcissist will hate you for years because one time you ignored a text message, so it’s not unbelievable that if Lila was a true narcissist she would be incensed by Ladybug’s audacity to expose her lie, even though it was to only one person and even though it clearly hasn’t slowed Lila down in her pursuit of that person.
It also shows up in her lies. She’s not just deaf in one ear, she’s deaf in one ear because she was saving Jagged Stone’s kitten. This one lie has at least three impacts: Pity for her disability, admiration for her heroism, and status for knowing a celebrity. A narcissist is similar to a psycho path in that they can mimic human emotions and therefore know exactly how to play with them to get what they want (actually most psychopaths are narcissists).
When we just had s1, I could buy the Kid Who Moves A Lot and Therefore Has an Amazing Built in Defense System So She’s Not Bullied or Ostracized. But the more we see Lila the more I’m convinced she’s just self centered and loves the attention.
Thank you for all coming to my TED talk, there’s free cookies in the lobby.
i sleep nude because if someone ever breaks into my house they gotta fight me while im naked and i dare you to try and swing on a nigga when his dick is out
Okay weirdly this exact situation has happened to me. It was summer so I was sleeping naked, but then I heard the lock on the front door being opened. I thought someone was breaking into my house and I had enough time to either grab my sword or my nightgown, not both.
Two things I learned.
One, sometimes apartment complexes will flat out forget to tell you they’re sending someone over from the fire department to check your fire extinguishers.
Two, no matter how bad ass a person thinks they are, a naked person swinging a sword at them will knock them off balance both physically and mentally.
However, the fireman was very nice about it and accepted my apology.
didn’t think it could get any better, yet here we are
AND NOW IVE THROWN HIM OFF HIS RHYTHM


baby
congratulations to Keith and Lance for being canon kings, again the best ship on tumblr and making me happy since 2k17
So in lore, vampires have this trait that I’ve almost never seen used, and that’s the fact that vampires are OBSESSED with counting things. Like, the Count on Sesame Street was almost certainly created specifically as a vampire because of this piece of lore.
Like, I read this vampire book years and years ago that explained that a surefire way to protect yourself from vampires getting into your house was to spread a ton of seeds on your doorstep–poppy and mustard seeds were particularly recommended for the purpose. Basically, if you suspected someone to be a vampire, all you had to do was drop a sackful of seeds on the ground in front of them.
If they didn’t immediately start counting them, they were not a vampire. However, if they WERE a vampire, they’d be seized with the urge to count all the seeds and they would not budge from that spot until they knew how many seeds there were in total. The point was to keep them there until the sun came up and killed them, because if they hadn’t counted all the seeds by sunrise they wouldn’t be able to leave. Presumably you could just go about the rest of your evening as normal, though no word on whether it’s possible to make them lose count and start over.
Having remembered this piece of lore, I want fewer stories about brooding tortured Edward Cullen-esque vampires. I want to start seeing more stories about math nerd vampires.
Vampire accountants who are an honest company’s best asset and a corrupt company’s bane because they are frighteningly accurate with the accounts and will not hesitate to blow the whistle on a CEO scamming money because fuck you for making the numbers wrong.
Vampire cashiers that don’t need to look at the register screen because they already mentally calculated your total. 10-items-or-less vampires who know goddamn well you have 20 items in that basket and NO, you cannot just slip in with the rest.
Vampire math tutors who are constantly in high demand and have to hold lotteries to see who gets to be tutored by them.
MATH NERD VAMPIRES
If anyone would like the term for this, it’s arithmomania.
“But sir, he’s a vampire!!!”
“Vampire or not, he’s the best damn accountant we have here, and i’d let him drink my blood before i fire him!”
“still less of a leech than Matt in legal. Fuck matt”
Okay but also, vampires as drug dealers- a profession that requires extremely quick, extremely accurate counting.
“You’re 5 dollars short.”
“There’s 50,000 dollars in there at least, how the fuck did you count that fast-”
“Pay up or I will drink you like a slurpee.”
The end has come, but the legend lives on forever. The final season of Voltron Legendary Defender begins streaming on Netflix December 14th!
