#tall lolita hacks

[rainedragon]

This is a hack for using these blanket storage straps to extend the straps of a JSK with zero sewing required.

I have like negative energy right now, so sorry if I sound out of breath, my body decided talking was strenuous today. :/

Here is what it looks like when it's done, I'm probably going to change the bows I used, these are just what I had on hand and I was too tired to go get others that matched better.

If you want to do this with a JSK where the button is on the strap (vs the button hole being on the strap like this one), you will have to trim the blanket strap to the right length or you will have a big old tail sticking up. The end of the elastic you cut will fray. Use fray check or clear nail polish to seal the raw edge (DO NOT GET IT ON YOUR DRESS) and let it dry. You can loop it around a hanger and hang it from a shower bar or something so it's not touching anything.

If you can sew a button, I personally would move the strap button down and to the inside/underside of the strap so that the blanket strap buttons on under the strap. That way the raw part you cut and sealed is hidden under.

You can also just buy a roll of button hole elastic or a strip of it at a sewing store and sew on your own buttons! It's cheaper, but harder to find colors other than black or white quickly.

You don't have to put bows over the button hole elastic, but I think it looks better to hide the elastic strap personally.

This is one of the types of bows I used to buy from Target (not the ones pictured here). I also recently bought these ones on Amazon and these ones on amazon and both are fine for something like this.

[marshmallowprotection]

I read your tag about what if lila was shipped with saeyoung instead and it was so cute. i want to see him dressed like a lolita too! do you have any more headcanons on how it would go? 👁️ And what if Saeran was with Minji and Judas. What would that be like? I feel like Minji and Saeran would have a fun time cooking together. But its hard to imagine how Judas and Saeran bonding looks like.

I think I’ve talked about it before, but it’s definitely been a while since I’ve had the thought on my mind. So, let’s consider the possibility here and play around with the timeline and see what would happen if we swapped around the MCs in their relationships. 

Now, I suppose would be smarter to start with Judas since he is involved with Saeyoung much earlier than Lila meets Unknown, or Ray, it just depends on the timeline. Judas, as we all know, is a former informant and would take power by gaining secrets using his body or his promises to get what he’d wanted. He was fixated on revenge and destroying his ex-boyfriend who was to become the next head of a Mafia ring.  

 He spiraled wildly out of control until he fucked up one day. He made a mistake and took down the wrong guy, and it landed a hit on his head. They saw him as a nuisance until he proved himself angry and crafty, and he knew he was rightly fucked. He made a deal with Saeyoung’s agency to trade his secrets for some kind of protection, but we all know the agency wanted his secrets and then they were going to kill him. 

Judas actually met Minji one evening and escorted her home when she walked int the wrong side of town and that was what helped Saeyoung vet Minji when she appeared in the apartment. Now, if we were to say that instead of making one mistake, he meets Rika at some point and she wants him for his powers of true coercision. She sees his anger and righteous fury and loves it. He could make a good boy who deceives others for the cult. It’s hard to trick him, but I think if he offered to help him kill his Ex, he’d take it, and she’d trick the trickster because of his weakness. 

That puts him interacting with Unknown very often. Judas loves to flirt and play around with others for fun. He, like Lila, tends to prefer fashion that is princely in nature and we all know how Unknown feels about fancy clothes and pretty folks. That’s a weakness. I imagine he and Unknown could both bond over revenge in a rather easy way. It’s possible there is tension between the two of them over a lot of power. Trust me, this is the only way that it’d work. They’re both angry and they’re both determined to destroy everyone that hurt them. 

I can see them having this love-hate relationship where they argue a lot and it turns into I-hate-you-but-I-want-to-kiss-you tension. However, they both have a lot of vulnerabilities. They both have mother issues. They both want to be seen and noticed. They both craved to be loved. It’s easy for them to use each other to cope. Unknown would give Judas hell over the small height difference that they have and assert himself and Judas would bite back. 

Now, if Unknown changed his mind at the last second with what he wanted in an assistant, and he took Minji instead... well, that just means that he’s picked Ms. Sunshine incarnate. Minji has a big heart and she knows nothing of suffering and misery. All she knows is that she wants to keep striving towards her dreams of being a baker. It’s odd with them because Minji is taller than Unknown is but he’d had a way of making her uneasy. 

She might have questioned why she was helping him break into an apartment and he got the upper hand on her by surprise. She’s a lot stronger than he is so he didn’t get the slip-on her that’d be messy. She wouldn’t know how to act with him biting and being so patronizing at first. Yet, she’d help him because she can see that she’s got no choice. She decides to get to know him and understand Mint Eye better so she can see why he is the way he is. 

I imagine Minji would be forced to spend a lot of time making sure that Unknown ate something other than liquid sugar. She’s hopeless at hacking. That’s what he would settle for. He would tell her what to do and she wouldn’t fight him but she would try to pick him apart piece by piece until Lila because she isn’t entirely in danger of being hurt. 

Let’s see, her cheery optimism that doesn’t die bothers Unknown. She would do these kind things to him and he would be so fucking lost, man. His heart would pound wildly for some reason when she ruffled his hair and did things for him with no prompting needed on his end. I imagine that he finds that the longer that he’s around Minji, the more he feels like he has a partner that he can trust. That is until Judas starts pushing in. 

Rika wants Unknown to get someone in that apartment right now. So, she pushes Judas to work with him and his new assistant to find out who would be best for this situation. Judas remembers helping Minji and flirts with her quite a bit, and Unknown warns him that she’s his. Judas is going to keep pushing his buttons and he’s going to keep pushing at Minji. It’s going to be tense and Minji is going to find herself working with these two guys, trying to protect the next person that winds up in the apartment she was meant to walk into—

And at the same time, she’s finding more and more that she’s got feelings for the two guys that she’s working with. Unknown is angry but when he has nightmares at night and needs comfort, he shows her that he’s got a heart. Judas helped her in the past and she trusts him, even if she’s lost in his hatred. Her kindness in the face of cruelty is to be admired. 

 I imagine this relationship is one where all parties have feelings for each other but are pretty torn and confused about how to bring the pieces together. In the end, if they’re able to be saved from Mint Eye, I can imagine that SE Saeran will have the most fun just devoting his time in the kitchen helping Minji and being her assistant, hilariously. She just makes him feel safe and warm. Who wouldn’t feel safe when their tall girlfriend scoops them up and dotes on them? Now, it would be harder with Judas. 

I know that they’re going to have sassy banter and they’re going to be snarky, even catty. Their relationship is one where both parties keep pushing the other to their limits, and then they wind up kissing. It just works for some reason that I can’t explain. Judas can be very... high-maintenance but that doesn’t mean that Saeran can’t bite back. 

Can you imagine their cuddle pile? Minji is in the middle and both of the guys are curled up next to her and it’s kinda cute, wtf. 

Now on the flip side, let’s talk about what would be going on with Lila. We all know that Lila more or less left home after she had a big blow-up with her sister, who misunderstood just how much their mother was bullying Lila after she had moved away. It was a big spat. She left because she needed to... not be near the family anymore. She’s hurt and upset but she just wants to be as far as she can get from home. So, this is the first place her hand landed on the map and she went with it. 

She’s insecure, and the only time that she feels like she can be herself is when she’s in Coordinate. If she’s not wearing a cute dress, then she’s looking at the ground and clutching onto the ends of her sleeves. She’s quiet, but she will say things if she has to. She’s also a painter that gets lost in her thoughts, I would call her paintings a blend of Rococo style and Impressionism if that makes any sense. The objects on the canvas feel Rococo but the style itself on the board is Impressionist. 

Let’s say that she wasn’t the object of Ray or Unknown’s infatuation in this AU of yours. I think that Judas would pick her from the crowd and Minji would have given the idea to go and pick someone quiet and easy to manipulate, even if she didn’t say it like that, she gave him the idea. Judas takes it upon himself to bug her phone by tricking her and saves Unknown and Minji the trouble of getting her to open some phishing email. 

She winds up in the apartment, just as confused as everyone else is and she realizes that she got tricked. She just wanted to help someone because she’s a selfless type. She’s lucky if she doesn’t have a panic attack from that happening, but that aside, I think Seven would realize really fast that she’s just a girl who’s from overseas who got tricked because she didn’t think things through. Her use of Korean is a little messy, too, which sort of helped the fact that it was easy to trick her. 

You can Seven felt drawn to her the minute that he started looking into her past and her social media. After all, how can he not find a girl that spends her free time sewing and crafting outfits delightful? He can see that she’s hiding behind a mask just as he is from the start. She’s rather polite to him but he knows that it’s lovely to hear her laugh. She always humors his jokes and pranks for some reason that he can’t understand but it isn’t long before Lila sounds a bit sad whenever she talks to him late at night. 

He means to say, how can she be so polite and straightforward on the chat, and yet, he’s got her laughing so hard she’s crying on the phone? 

He probably won't get the answer until he’s locked in that apartment with her and there’s nowhere for him to go but the corner. Lila clearly is barely holding herself together but she’s biting her tongue and her fears to make sure that Seven feels like she doesn’t blame him because she doesn’t. She’s kind of blaming Rika for asking for a fucking bomb. Who asks for a fucking bomb? 

It isn’t until Lila breaks down in front of him and admits why she feels so happy and at peace with Saeyoung, and it’s because his jokester mask reminds her of her big sister. Her sister is always smiling and laughing, but there’s a pain in her heart that she’s hiding. Whenever Lila talks to Seven now, she thinks about how much she misses her sister but at the same time, she thinks about how much pain Seven must be in. She saw him hear that everyone had lied to him and he had been hiding so much for the sake of everyone around him. 

She’s able to confront him about lying about who he is. She tells him that he can’t hide behind a mask. That won’t make anyone happy, and it won’t make him happy. It’s what she failed to say in the past, and now she finally has the power to confront this problem head-on. She cares about Seven because he makes her laugh and forget about everything, but she also cares about those moments they have had where he whispers his fears to her and she listens to him say it all in the dead of night. 

Seven has to admit that she’s right. He’s not happy, but he wants to be happy and nobody has ever told him that he has the right to fight for his happiness if he wants it. He tried to break her by saying that she’s hiding behind her own mask of some polite princess, and Seven pushes her outside of her bubble and all of a sudden, she’s been tested. She finds herself standing taller and looking people in the eyes, without fear anymore. 

They push each other to bring out the good inside of themselves that they’ve been hiding because they were too scared to be themselves. 

I can see Saeyoung and Lila as this couple that tests each other. He pushes her buttons and makes her believe in herself. She pushes him to be himself, and not once fear that. They’re supportive. Saeyoung gets to explore his gender identity more with Lila and boy, does he not mind being called she/her, or they/them, he isn’t picky, but there’s something about being able to dress up and be doted on in this fashion that makes Saeyoung feel good. 

I HC him as NB/GenderFluid, have to throw that in there. I just want Lila to playfully call Saeyoung her girlfriend when they’re dressed up together and that redhead to turn into a mushy mess. I think there’s potential with the two of them to get along really well, I just never think of them in a romantic way because I’d fear that people would assume that Lila is projecting onto Saeyoung kind of like Yoosung does with RIka. 

Oh, boy. I said too damn much.

New Headbow Pattern

And how to recover fabric from a waist bow to make your own headbow.

There’s advantages and disadvantages to owning matching headbows in your wardrobe. While not necessary, I find it to be a lot of fun, and open up some interesting coordinating possibilities.

What isn’t frilling fun is tumblr’s “do you want to leave this page” dialog box being so useless that you can’t see it until you’ve already deleted your entire post. Why even hAVE THE BOX, THEN, TUMBLR? Why even have the fucking box.

So, this is post version round 2. Let’s see if this one makes it. Sorry for being disorganized, but I’m doing it from memory.

So, a little headbow history, for people new to the fashion. We’re going to go back to 2010 and 2011, to the land of Over The Top Sweet.

x

Tall hair. Big hair bows.

x

Tall hair. Big hair bows.

Zuko, listen, lolita is about balance, but our view of balance is impacted by trends. When your hair rises many inches off the top of your head, you need a bow that can stand out against that.

After that, the large hair bow trend bled back into non-OTT sweet. It was normal for more casual sweet coords to still have large hair bows.

OTT has largely toned down. It used to be *cue Great Aunt Pink “back in my day” voice* that even non-OTT sweet was striving to be OTT, and it bled into everything. It used to be Over The Top Sweet, Kind Of On The Top Sweet, I’m New And I Saw People Wear Over The Top Sweet And I Think That’s All Lolita Is, and Old School Sweet. Now, you scroll down Closet of Frills, and the OTT and the standard sweet are two distinctly different things.

And they have two distinctly different headbows.

See, in the past, as recently as 4 years ago, even more casual lolita could get away with the 5″ tall bow.

Life hack: take good pics of your coords now so that when you run a blog five years from now, you’ll have actual non-starbucks-selfies of how you used to wear your headbows instead of these two incoherent blobs of aggressive pink.

Which is why I developed a bad habit.

See, Bodyline loves to put on these pin-on waist bows. Lots of brands do it, but Bodyline’s are...

...incorporated into their garments with a unique focus on construction. And by incorporated, I mean tacked on like an emergency propeller to zoom your way out of bad situations.

I hate Bodyline’s waist bows. Best case, you leave them on, they flap around like weird belly button wings, they get caught on everything. Worst case, they actually rip the waist of your dress when they get caught on something.

I don’t like most pin-on bows, but I really can’t stand the ones from Bodyline.

So, in the past, when it was still normal to have big head bows, I’d slide my bodyline waist bows onto a headband and call it a hair bow.

However, these days, I feel like maybe I can’t pull off the look as well. Some of us aren’t ready to take the helicopter propeller off your pelvis and slap it on your noggin’. (Having bangs definitely helped pull off the big head bow look, btw)

So, accepting that my favorite low-class cheater trick is officially out of style, what’s a person to do? Take the bows off the headbands, stick them in a pile, and forget about them for four years?

I mean, yeah, but after that?

First, we’ve got to recover the fabric in the bows. Grab your seam ripper, grab your bow, and take it apart. Be nice and careful around where your lace is, because you’re going to want to keep that and use it again.

If you’re not recovering a bow and you just want to make a new one from scratch, congratulations on making it this far!! The post is already long and it’s going to get longer. Scroll down till you see

**The rest of the bow!**

and then pick back up with us.

Now, you have a little pile of heavily wrinkled fabric and lace.

WARNING: Know if your fabric is colorfast. If it’s not, you’re going to have a couple of hours of stretching and ironing your fabric until it looks like fabric again.

If you’re disassembling cheap Bodyline bows (Bodyline isn’t known for many great things, but being able to throw their clothes in the washing machine at the sketchy all-night laundromat is nice), they’re colorfast, and you can take the fast route. Start by throwing all the pieces and the lace in a bucket/sink of hot water with some oxiclean or other stain-remover. In my case, the hot water made the interfacing peel off the fabrics, and I didn’t re-interface them.

After that soak, and washing the oxiclean out with a little soap and another rinse, it’s time to throw them back in the bucket with some white vinegar. I didn’t really measure it volumterically, but it was probably about half a cup in half a gallon of water. You want white, distilled vinegar for this, because you’re going to have to iron it out. Any other vinegar is going to leave stains and burn your fabric/iron/ironing board, but since distilled vinegar has already evaporated once, it can steam cleanly out of your cloth.

Little soak, dry them off on a towel (don’t rinse!), and then take the vinegary, kind of wet pieces and iron them as hot as the fabric can handle. Iron the lace, too, but watch out that you don’t melt the lace if it’s on a synthetic ground like most embroidered laces.

And now you have some nice fabric and lace bits. 

**The rest of the bow!**

Quick bow terminology:

Bow Part A: This is the smaller, top part of the bow, and it’s the little bow “loops”. Bow Part B: These are the longer, bottom, “tails” part of the bow. Bow Part C: The fabric band that wraps around the middle.

Some bows will try to maintain the illusion of one-ness, meaning that if a trim is applied to the A part, it should carry on to the B part, so that we can pretend it’s one piece of ribbon. If you want to do that, go ahead. I will not be doing that in this tutorial.

Bow part A is cut at 4+3/4″ tall and 13+1/4″ wide. You only need to cut one piece.

Fold it in half with the long sides touching, and sew down the long side with 1/4″ seam allowance. Now, using your iron, press that seam open and flat, and then turn the piece inside-out and press it again.

More details of this process if you want.

Two steps pictures here because my computer is more of a mess than my sewing room. First, take your (now right-side-out) Bow Piece A, fold it long ways, and mark the center line. I marked by pressing it with my iron.

Second, take some of your lace, and trim the edges. If your lace is beading lace or another kind of lace meant to be put somewhere other than on a hem, you might not need to do this.

Sew two pieces of lace down the center line.

You might be looking at mine and going, uh, Pink, uh, that’s not remotely even. And you’d be right. However,

next, you’re going to fold the two short edges into the middle, and then you can’t see where mine was uneven.

Is it better to have it be even to start with? Yeah, probably, but if I waited until I did things perfectly, I’d never do anything.

BOW PART B.

My pattern that I made yesterday says to cut two pieces at 2+1/2″ by 9+7/8″, but these pieces of fabric that I had weren’t long enough for that. In the end, I just had to adjust proportions as I went. However, the green bow that I’ll show a high quality picture of later was 9.875″ long.

So here’s 2.5″ by whatever this piece of fabric was.

Pick one of your sides and sew your lace all the way around the edge.

A couple of tips that I didn’t photograph well enough: Line the raw edge of the lace up with the raw edge of the fabric, so that the lace is pointing inside. If you leave it pointing outside, it’ll be stuck inside the bow when you turn the piece to front. If you clip into the back edge of the lace once at each of the corners, you can go around corners a lot easier When you’re at the corner, take a few seconds to move the lace around so that you don’t sew the pretty edge of the lace into the seam and hide it away.

Once your lace is basted on, put your other piece of fabric onto it, sew around the edges (leaving a hole), and turn it to the front.

It’s easiest to leave the hole in the middle of one long side, because it’ll be hidden by the bow part c

Speaking of which:

Fold Bow Part A into a loop with the tails tucked in the back, and sew it down onto the center of Bow Part B

I found it really helpful to fold the bow into a W shape and tie it together with some thread, just to keep it in the right place.

Bow Part C is a piece of fabric about 3″x4″. Size is not super crucial.

Fold the two long edges in to overlap (almost folding it in 3rds).

Wrap it around the middle of your bow, and fold one edge so you can get a neat little finished edge.

Sew that little loop on.

Now, for the headband.

Start by taking your last piece of fabric and making a long continuous bias strip with it. Doing it on the bias will make sure it stretches and doesn’t fray.

Cut a triangle off one edge of your rectangle, and then make marks every 3/4 of an inch. Make sure that you’re marking along the bias, not on the straight of grain.

When you get to the other end, cut off the rest so you have your bias parallelogram.

Fold it and match lines so that you’ve got a spiral going down the whole piece (this is much better explained in the continuous bias tutorial, but if it feels like you’re pinning it completely wrong, you might be doing it properly. This is fiddly)

When you’re done, you’ll have a tube with a seam that spirals down one side (which is why the pinning feels strange when you’re doing it right). Cut along your line to unwind your continuous bias strip.

You can also do traditional bias strips, or just use a ribbon.

Stretching as you go, wrap the bias strip around the headband, and glue it at the end. I use this specific super glue, but Aleenes’ Fabric Fusion works too, if you don’t like super glues.

I cut two little strips and hand sewed them onto the bottoms to cover up the stiffness from the glue and hopefully hold everything together better.

(Yes, I swapped out another project while the piano one was drying).

Now, take a while, sit in front of a mirror, get the loops where they look good, and tack them into place. Take it off and put it on several times during this process, and get it to a place where, every time you put it on, it looks good.

This is why I think it’s important to have an individual headband for every bow you make. It lets you affix things in a place where they look nice, and you don’t have to worry about pinning them every time you put them on, or them going rogue throughout the day.

For this one, I set it off at an angle, and sewed little cascade folds into the B part of the bow. I messed around with several angles and ideas before deciding that this one was the best for this specific bow.

Don’t I look so thrilled to be wearing it?

I was going to take a full coord shot with it and the matching dress, but it’s raining, so instead of having a picture that’s cute and relevant, I’ll just tell the story of the time that I was trying to get an outfit picture in the dress this bow matches, but I fell, stepped in my fish’s hospital tank (it was on the ground), and had to rush off and get him clean water that wasn’t contaminated by my shoe, which is how I was rushing around, holding a fish in a plastic cup, trying to find the water conditioner, with my petticoat dripping everywhere and getting shoe prints of water all over my bedroom carpeting.

The fish was fine. His name was Fierce Mango. Everyone remember to lolita responsibly.

List-O-Muses

So, I have a lot, a few I cannot remember, a few I’ve never put on Tumblr... So I shall put up a list of them all... by category! Only certain muses will get an explanation and not all have blogs, the ones I remember that do will have them!

Also some blogs might have autoplay, I will label the ones I remember. Some of these blogs have not been touched in years, I apologize

Muse I’ve Had since Before Tumblr

Lexara (OC)- Originally a special agent of some kind, I made her around about 2005, when I first started to read Manga and started drawing characters. She had short hair- Like me at the time, and she was tough and rugged... because my protected catholic ass hadn’t learned the word ass or any swear word ever.

Muses I’ve had on Tumblr

Category 1- KH and FF

AU Cloud Strife (Final Fantasy VII)- He is basically Sephiroth, but winning, the world is pretty much dying/almost dead, so like.... Worst Case Scenario/Apocalypse AU

AU Nylocke (TOME) I’m putting this here because this is the Nylocke that is apart of the Omega Timeline. Where Nylocke had a twin brother (Nye is Colin-based on tta Nai’s name, and Martin- because Martin Billaney), who died.

Hao Asakura- This was semi-based on the manga and the anime mixing. the story the blog was based off of is actually still on Fanfiction.Net i named Angel of the Devil (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6203556/1/Angel-of-the-Devil) Feel free to read it! There are 9 chapters!

Glitchy Red (Pokemon Creepy Pasta)- He was based off of many different piecemeal creepy pastas (Lost Silver, Pokemon Black, Strangled Red, Glitchy Red, small stories about the candle instead of flash, but used in a house it would burn it down, and the rope inside would make you hang yourself).

Luka Crosszeria (Uraboku)- This was the man I fell for, he is extremely loyal and protective of the one he loves through every reincarnation they have, and will do anything, even betray his own kind for love. So in a way, I can relate. I want to do the same with my friends and family and girlfriend. This is the blog Beelzemon is on.  URL- http://crosszeriaxbetrayer-blog.tumblr.com/ AUTOPLAY WARNING

Luka Crosszeria (Final Fantasy XIV)- She is my character from my favorite and most played MMO. And while she no longer has a blog, she does have an instagram! URL- https://www.instagram.com/luka_of_eorzea/

Luka Cross (OC- No other affiliation)- She is a girl with the power to summon elementals. From fire and ice spirits, to even the goddess of the moon. Her goal is to gain the power of Elder Summoning. Aldo Omega is in this AU as the guardian of the Library of Summoners, and he is an Elder Summon.

Luka (TOME)- She is the little sister of Xirra. A different kind of virus, hers is a contact epidemic virus that spreads through touch. She has her hands covered at all times, and is very shy, but is almost second to none in hand to hand combat, being at least 30 time stronger than her just 4 foot stature would lead you to believe. she is also a lolita that wears extremely tall boots, and yet she is still very short... like just under 5 foot short. She also dates a giant dragon... and she sounds like Hinata from Naruto... she is an actual baby that is months old

Would you say Lila is a Himedere????👀👀👀👀👀 I remember you saying Lila loved the idea of being a princess (or something like that) and adored the style of bedroom that Ray decorated? I havent read all the bad ending fics yet, but I adore the idea of an Evil Queenly Lila wanting to be treated like royalty (though not at the cost of Ray being a servant, if anything he'll be the King and deserving just as much worship). What are your thoughts on this? Is there a oneshot/series most like this outcome? (Rika as their servant. Mwahahahaha.)

I would say that she has the ability to be a Himedere. Lila herself, if we’re like, talking about her in Another Story, is someone that spent her childhood dealing with her problems by reading fairytales and painting scenery that made her feel more at peace with herself. She likes to close her eyes and imagine that she’s a world away from her trauma and pain where she’s thriving instead. Yeah, she’s aware that it’s a bit embarrassing to be twenty-one and still has dreams of living in her Disney-esqe style fairytale. 

But, when has Lila ever cared about shame when it comes to her style and how that empowers her? If it makes her happy, she’s not going to let anyone make her feel bad about it. After all, she thrives in Lolita and spends a lot of her free time styling Coordinates and different Lolita styles. The girl lives and breathes in a petticoat whenever she gets the chance! 

Ray knows that is something that she’s into, he’s the one that picked her to test his game. He’s seen her modeling social media and he’s seen her artwork. She makes no point to hide it from anyone but she’s just the type of person that he’s thriving on his own fantasies about. He also loves the idea of a princess that he can fawn over, and I think everyone knows that. He wants to be the knight that covets the pretty princess in a tall tower of his own design. In many ways, she’s his Rapunzel. 

He sees himself more as keeping her safe than keeping her locked up. It’s just their dynamic. He thrives on the fact that she’s comfortable in herself when she is dressed up like that and he can’t help himself when she takes his breath away just like that. She’s his princess, after all, and he’s been fantasizing about that for quite a while now. Now, there’s one bad ending that I’ve written where Lila makes the mistake of not putting enough work into the game, leading to her Bad Ending 1 experience which entirely different than Ray’s BE1.

Lila doesn’t have it in her heart to push Ray down and make him subservient to herself. Instead, Ray’s clouded by his envy and jealousy, and fear. He catches his her by the wrist and fears that she’s been tricked by Saeyoung and her inability to use the chatroom is because she’s turned away Ray when she’s not done that at all. He isolates her and takes her phone away, and manipulates her until she’s scared of everything and only trusts him. She’s a glorified porcelain doll for him that he cares for, and he won’t even let her walk around. She has to sit there, stay safe, look pretty, and never leave him. 

That’s not exactly what you were looking for, however, so I’ll answer the other part of the question. You’re asking if Lila will have the ability to become spoiled and entitled just as Himedere does. Well, this is something that happens in the Assistant AU. You’ve heard me talk about Wisteria, and well, that’s what Wisteria is to her core. She’s a Lila that’s been burned with elixir and manipulated by Rika to give in to her anger and insecurities. 

This leads to the possible Bad Ending of the Assistant AU.

Wisteria is a Himedere. 

She’s angry, she’s spoiled, and she will do anything to get her way. What does she want? She wants to protect Saeran. How can she protect him? She can be stronger. She can tell the world what to do. She can stop being shy and scared, she can bite back and order people around. She really needs to become the princess that she’s been holding at bay, Rika whispers. This will very surely go and backfire on Rika, however, because Wisteria’s devotion is to Unknown. 

Rika understands that when she broke Lila, she twisted her up to use her as an asset to Unknown. She needed her to be committed to Unknown’s anger and in a way, the one that would hammer home that he needs to keep destroying the RFA to get his peace and dreams to come true. Wisteria would give anything and do anything for Unknown... that was the plan. 

Where this backfires on Rika in the Bad Ending? She miscalculated just how devoted Wisteria was to securing Unknown had everything he wanted. She’d realized that Rika was lying to Unknown and that she wasn’t going to give him what he wanted, and that was the destruction of those liars. So, what is a real princess supposed to do when something is undermining her power? Oh, get rid of the thing that’s challenging her power. 

Wisteria is happy to take punishments for Unknown and fall for him, but she will not allow him to be hurt when Rika promised him happiness that is eternal and everlasting. When Saeyoung, Minji, and Judas come to Mint Eye to save our boy Saeran, she and Unknown are prepared this time, and they force Saeyoung’s hands. He has to give in and give Saeran what he wants, and that’s information on hacking and the RFA. Minji and Judas are forced to leave and Saeyoung makes Judas promise to leave the country with the safety clearance he made for them, so the Mafia can’t find Judas and the agency can’t find Judas, so he and Minji can be safe. 

Saeyoung has to give Saeran what he wants. Saeran uses this knowledge to take the RFA down with Lila. She singlehandedly manipulates everyone in the RFA to their side alongside Saeran, but Saeran doesn’t know that she’s got her own plan apart from the one that Rika gave them. She’s slowly gaining the trust of everyone so they know she’s not a liar, and when the RFA falls and Rika has what she wants as far as she knows... 

Well, Wisteria makes her move. She forces V’s hand and makes him bow his head to Saeran instead of Rika. V has no choice but to listen to Wisteria cause she offers him a blunt deal, Rika gets taken away from power, Saeran no longer has to suffer, and everyone stays happy in paradise. Rika loses her mind when V ignores her and bows to Saeran. She gets angry and shows everyone that she is lacking in heart to a dangerous degree. 

The RFA sees how unstable she is and they have her taken down from power because she can’t handle it right now. “She needs their help and support to get better,” Wisteria says. “But, they need someone in charge that knows how to take care of everyone.”

“Who’s better than Saeran? He’s been here the longest. He’s devoted to this cause and making sure that everyone is taken care of. He was the one that wanted to save all of you from the lies that you had been told. I think it’s only fair that he take care of things while we make sure that Rika gets better,” Wisteria says. 

Guess who ends on the throne? 

Guess who is in charge? 

Guess who is sitting on the throne laughing wildly to herself because she’s gone and destroyed everything that Rika wanted just to get what Wisteria wanted all along. She and Saeran take the lead of Mint Eye and convert it as need be, but make no mistake, it’s still no heaven. I won’t spoil all of it but it’s a wild ride to read! 

Saeran thinks that this happened because of his own choices and his own power, but you know who really gave him that crown he wears? The spoiled princess that gets whatever she wants, Wisteria.
