all is well in france! they didn't just lie about the teenager trying to run over a cop who was supposedly standing in front of the car to stop him (when in reality he was on the side at the car window pointing his gun directly in the car), most of the first media reports presented the kid as a recidivist delinquent to twist the narrative in their favor even though he had no record! also in the video that debunked their claims of legitimate defense, the policeman can be heard saying "open or I'll shoot you in the head". also it's not said here but most of the poc killed by the police in france are men and the numbers of killings by the police are steadily on the rise over the last few years (because of one law that was put in place in 2017 or around that time and gives policemen more situations in which they can use their weapons for legitimate defense or public security) if you still think France is the country of human rights and freedom bla bla bla, think again

Baby, I was…dead this way? Not sure how Zomby Gaga would sing that version of the song 🤔
I said I would do a version with her hair down so here it is, the hair was based more on The Countess from AHS Hotel rather than the 2010 VMAs meat dress look, I think it’s cute and also fitting with Zomby’s no eyebrow look!
Original post of this idea

For Lilith prompts, how did Lilith react to finding out that Ava accidentally killed Sister Frances? Proud? Annoyed that it was an accident? Mad because she didn't get to do it for Ava? Jealous because Ava got to confront her captor/tormentor and Lilith never truly got to do that to hers (aka her mother?)
She finds her staring out the window morosely. The expression fits Ava's face strangely, like a macabe clown attempting to draw out a laugh at a funeral.
"I know why I'm up, but what the hell are you doing here?"
Ava startles, jumping slightly and knocking her head against the window. "Fucking christ, make some noise next time." She whisper-yells.
"Why are you whispering?" Lilith humors her and drops her voice to a whisper.
"Bea is passed out on the couch." Ava gestures behind her where Beatrice is curled into herself on the couch.
"And why aren't you over there being sappy and disgusting and cuddling in your sleep?" Lilith asks, gently moving Ava's legs over so she can sit on the window sill next to her. Ava waits for her to get comfortable before throwing her legs back over Lilith's lap.
"Couldn't sleep." She says, resuming her window staring.
"Usually when you can't sleep you run around the block, not stare into the sea like a byronic prince." Lilith says. Ava arches an eyebrow, wordlessly asking for her to explain, and Lilith just rolls her eyes. "You're more angsty than usual. What gives?"
Ava glances out the window again then back to Lilith. "Did you ever like it?"
"Like what?"
"When you killed someone." It comes out as a horrified whisper.
Lilith shrugs, looking out the window and finding a low swooping bat to focus her attention on. "Sometimes. I did it so they didn't have to. I liked myself better that way, even if I didn't like the act every time."
"I think I liked it once."
The statement floats out in silence and Lilith lets it settle.
"Tell me about it?" She asks eventually.
"It was an accident, but it also wasn't. Do you remember the orphanage?"
It suddenly clicks. "The woman who killed you." Lilith looks over to Ava but the other woman won't make eye contact with her. "Ava."
"No just..." Ava pouts. "I don't know how to feel about it. It wasn't necessary but it just felt good—"
"It was necessary." Lilith cuts her off. "If you didn't do it, Beatrice would have."
That startles Ava enough to make her look back at Lilith. "What?"
"Beatrice would have killed her if you didn't." She states blandly. "And it would've destroyed her, because at her core Beatrice is a very good person."
"I don't —"
"I am not a very good person." Lilith continues. "You're a fairly okay person, but you deserved that revenge. You deserve to enjoy it. It would eat Beatrice alive if she had to do that for you because she would have liked it too. That woman," Lilith spits out, "she killed you Ava. She tried to do it again when you were brought back to life."
Ava shifts her legs to hug them against her chest. "You think I'm a fairly okay person? Careful Lilith, a girl might think you're sweet on her."
Lilith stands. "Sweet on you? Beatrice is really rubbing off on you." She grabs Ava's head, leaning in to kiss her forehead. "You're a good person Ava. Liking one bad thing does not make you irredeemably evil, otherwise I sure as hell wouldn't be here. You're okay."
Ava looks up, capturing Lilith's lips in a longer kiss. "Thank you."
"Don't mention it. Seriously."

You know why we are taught to despise the French?
and poo poo their military prowess? Even though they are lovely people & have historically been glorious, brave, and victorious on the battlefield?
And were our partner in our own revolution?
It is because they killed their masters.
And they hold their police in check.
And protest for everything. And chase their police away. And get what they want. And have a pretty nice life.
They had a violent, coordinated people's revolution. Actually several. They kept trying and dying till one finally succeeded. They put the Aristocrats to death.
All the Aristocrats. Not just the bad ones. All of them. Even Marie Antoinette who was just a spoiled princess who quipped a stupid joke that got turned into revolutionary propaganda. She got disposal as well. Some people are just too dangerous to let live.
Because Aristocrats have babies! And those babies will network and rebuild Aristocracy and no Aristocracy may be allowed to exist if the people are to thrive.
That's why. Our Aristocrats don't want us getting Frenchy ideas.
Maybe we should.
