OC Introduction

Liliana Clarke-Reyes

“Boy, you’ve really got people fooled into thinking you’re the villa sweetheart," Priya said. Lili rolled her eyes. “I never claimed to be anything of the sort. I say fuck far too often to be anyone’s sweetheart.”

MC of The Sun in My Eyes. Call her Lili. Or Lil. Or even Liliana if you're nasty. Just don't call her perfect. She hates that shit.

24 | she/her | afro-latina | scouser | bilingual | belly dancer | foster care charity worker | 7 secret tattoos | optimist | loves spicy food | swiftie | perfectionist | sweet & snarky | great with kids | bad with animals | bubble baths are a religion |

lili's mood boards

Mood boards are how I build characters. It gives me a chance to play and discover their likes and dislikes. So I have tons of them for Lili. Please note that in the story and in my head, Lili is quite a bit darker than the faceclaim I used for her. I will post seperately about that, because it was a whole THING.

Board 1: Villa Lili

In my head this is how the show depicted Lili initially. Bubbly and bright. And all of this stuff IS her, but it's not all of her.

Board 2: Real Life Lili

This is Lili on the inside. Wistful, organized, emosh, and obsessed with shoes.

Board 3: Lili's Home Aesthetic

I just love interior design and had fun building Lili's home aesthetic.

Board 4: Lili's Fashion Sense

I always pictured her wearing mostly blacks, whites, and neutrals. With some random pops of gold/yellow and red thrown in. She loves her a one sleeve top and ripped jeans. Overall she has edgy autumn vibes. Lots of sweaters hanging off the shoulder and ankle boots clacking on the pavements. Super dark lipstick and black fingernails, always. A little tribute to her inner emo-kid.

Board 5: Lili's Life in Liverpool

This might be my favorite of her boards. This is a little taste of Lili's life outside the villa. Her exes, her bestie, her siblings. And all of her tattoos. I cannot tell you what a hardship it was to spend hours looking at pictures of Harry Styles in order to find one for that album.

So yeah. That's Lil.

You say shitpost, I say INCREDIBLY ACCURATE post.

What do you think it was like for season 2 li’s to lose their virginity?

Thanks for the ask anon!

Noah: his partner said ‘deeper’, so he rolled over and started reading them poetry.

Ibrahim: didn’t make a single sound bc he was too shy 🥺

Bobby: lasted 2.5 pumps

Jakub: *that scene of Christian Bale hyping himself up in the mirror in American Pyscho*

Rocco: came prepared with homemade, vegan friendly lube. (But kinda sweet of him bc he cares about the quality of ingredients entering his partner’s body??)

Lucas: he *finished* just as his partner’s parents barged in. It was awkward.

the thing about carrying tension in your jaw is that once you've started it's really fucking hard to stop

My next chapter of The Sun in My Eyes is super important. It's a big turning point. And it REFUSES TO BE WRITTEN. I have been staring at it for days. Writing scenes and discarding them. Rewriting scenes and then going back to the discarded ones.

On top of it, I'm in the middle of moving and it's incredibly stressful and I'm sick. So in order to give my brain a break from all the havoc, I decided to create a masterlist for my fanfiction. And in typical Christy fashion, I'm laboring over it. Wanting it to be perfect. I have a forever long post about Lili I've never put out there and I want to add it to the TSIME stuff but I can't seem to ever finish the post. I think it's too long. I literally have six moodboards for Lili. So maybe I should break it up into multiple posts. Or not. I don't know.

Also I've got this half written Christmas fic that I've been sitting on for a year that I'd love to post in time for the holidays.

If you're wondering why it's been three years and TSIME still isn't done, this is why. **

**Well also, I'm a sadist and your tears bring me joy. But it's mostly the indecisive thing.

This is one of my alltime favorite pieces of fan art for the game. Bobby's glee, Carl's pain, Lucas's joyful avarice and Henrik just gleefully tossing money on Lucas... it's perfect. Also I really enjoy Noah being incarcerated 🤣🤣🤣

Also not for nothing, but Gary looks high AF to me, and I'd buy that as canon.

"Gentlemen, our resident geek falls as the rich keep getting richer!"

"That's right Bobs, and it seems Noah's getting used to the box of shame"

"You said you were good at this Carl! You swore on the valor of Violet Man!"

I keep wishing we could have seen more interactions between the lads so I made this self-indulgent piece. Just imagine all the smack talk going about 🤣

IT'S AN S5 RANT KIND OF DAY I GUESS

I have not finished the episode but Suresh looked good in his pilot outfit. And I did something I have not done the entire season. I chose not to reject his dance. I have literally turned him down and yelled at him every single chance, but I was like, well I kind of hate everyone, let's see how it goes. And the dance was good. It was hot. AND THEN THIS MOTHERFUCKER DANCED ON GABI.

Dude, you literally jumped from me to her. Just like SMP. Just like our actual relationship. I cannot fathom the writing this season, I truly can't. Just on the basis of not wanting to hurt MC I cannot believe he would keep doing this with Gabi in front of her. DO NOT SAY HOW MUCH IT HURT TO LOSE ME AND THEN KISS THE GIRL YOU CHEATED ON ME WITH, IN FUCKING FRONT OF ME. DON'T SAY YOU STILL CARE AND THEN GRIND ON HER ON THE GROUND IN FRONT OF ME.

What the fuck is up with this season, ya'll? Why isn't there one decent guy? I don't really think it's gonna happen but I'm now leaning into the people who are convinced that Bobby is coming in as a contestant. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, LET BOBBY COME IN AS A CONTESTANT. MC DESERVES SOMEONE WHO IS ALL HEART EYES FOR HER AND HER ALONE. ALSO CUPCAKES. SHE DESERVES CUPCAKES.
