If teardrops could be bottled
There'd be swimming pools filled by models
Told "a tight dress is what makes you a whore"
If "I love you" was a promise
Would you break it, if you're honest?
Tell the mirror what you know she's heard before
I don't wanna be you…
Anymore
Places, places
Get in your places
Throw on your dress and put on your doll faces
Everyone thinks that we're perfect
Please don't let them look through the curtains
Picture, picture, smile for the picture
Pose with your brother, won't you be a good sister?
Everyone thinks that we're perfect
Please don't let them look through the curtains
So right now I'm kinda obsessed with the chorus of billie eilish's idontwannabeyouanymore and melanie martinez's Dollhouse
I do have an idea (sorta) but I want to have someone intrigued before I say it, if you know what I mean
This does sound interesting, I'm wondering which direction you're thinking of taking this. If possible I would like to take part in this one, but if someone else wanted to then I'd possibly resort to stalking
(so my idea was kinda like this, and it uses aspects from both songs
There's this family: they're really rich and everyone knows them. On the surface, the family is perfect. But if one would go behind the scenes, everything is different. The father cheats on his wife constantly, the son is addicted to drugs, the mother is alcoholic to drown out her husband's infidelity (this is the Dollhouse aspect).
The daughter, on the other hand, suffers from body image issues. From a young age, she has been told that she needs to thin, have big breasts, always wear makeup. Every day, she looks in the mirror and is horrified by what she sees. She hates the way she looks, but it's how she's always lived. Every day, she says that she will change, but it never happens. One day, she finally decides she will (this is the idontwannabeyouanymore aspect).
Whether this is a siblings, best friends or a romantic RP, I don't mind
Although j would prefer for it not to be romance)
Wow, I like this idea. I think it would be interesting for it to be a siblings rp, but I'm cool with whatever. This is your idea after all.
(while I think it would be better to do friends, a sibling rp would be interesting. Since they both know what's happening, they would have something to connect them
We could have the addict brother and self-concious sister
If you don't mind, could I be the sister? Normally I wouldn't mind which one I get but I had an idea last night, and it only works with her…)
(That's fine with me. So how would you like to proceed?)
(so right now I'm on my phone and I don't have access to my laptop because it's at home and I'm not. When I do get home, I'll make up a template and post it)

(Alrighty thank you! I shall have my character up later on as I have a dinner to attend to right now.)
Name: Lilian “Lian” White. Lian is pronounced like ‘Liam’ but with an n.
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bisexual
Appearance: Lian has pale skin without blemishes, and she always wears makeup. Her eyes are an emerald green, but rarely ever portray real joy. Her hair is a medium brown, and it has purple and blue streaks running through it. She is of average height and build, but slightly skinny.
Style: Lian always dressed pristinely. Her dresses are always perfect, and her shoes always have heels.
Personality: Many people would expect Lian to be a self-centered bitch. She is, in fact, the complete opposite. She is quiet and rarely talks to anyone, not even her family. She avoided everyone in school, as she didn’t want to start fights. She is reserved and will avoid you if she feels threatened.
Likes: Not a lot really
Dislikes: Her family, her body image, her life
Background: The White family is perfect, and Lian had to be too. She hates her lifestyle, but can’t do anything to change it.
Problem: Lian has body image problems. From a young age, she was told that she had to be perfect. She wasn’t allowed to be fat and she had to maintain a certain waist length. She hasn’t felt comfortable in her body for quite a long time, and this has impacted her greatly. She has spent many a day locked in her room crying. She self-harms herself, a fact that she covers up with special foundation.
Theme song: Mrs Potato Head by melanie martinez, Gasoline by Halsey, idontwannabeyouanymore by billie eilish
Quote/s: “You can’t break what’s already broken.” “I’m BROKEN, OK?! I’ve been broken for a long time! And no matter how hard you try, I will never be fixed!” "Hope is for suckers."

(Sorry, I'm here now, something came up with work.)
Name: Aidan White
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Unknown
Appearance: Aidan has fair skin, marred by the dark circles underneath his eyes - which he often covers with concealer. His green eyes are wild and never really portray his real feelings. His short hair is bleached blond and styled with his fringe to the right. He is fairly tall with an athletic build. His left ear has two helix piercings and one stud on the lobe, while his right ear only had one helix piercing and a stud.
Style: He always wears tight jeans with a plain t-shirt, combat boots, and a leather or denim jacket. He can also be seen wearing sunglasses if his eyes are bloodshot.
Personality: Aidan can be quite pleasant and tries to socialise with society, however it doesn't take a lot for him to become violent. When he is in a fight with someone it takes a few people to stop him from killing his opponent.
Likes: Drugs, alcohol, fighting, his younger sister.
Dislikes: His parents, a lot of society.
Background: Aidan was treated as the golden child since he was the first born, but when his parents started making a fuss over his sister and paid little attention to him, he felt neglected.
Problem: During his time at high school, he was pressured into taking drugs by his so-called friends. After a while he resorted to taking drugs when he needed to escape reality for a while, and soon became addicted to the sensation he received from them.
Theme songs: Nightmare by Halsey, Everywhere I Go by Hollywood Undead, Dollhouse by Melanie Martinez
Quote/s: "My world is a world of truth, I see everything for what it really is." "Someone who says they're broken can't truly be, for someone who is broken beyond repair wouldn't know." "Everyone thinks we're perfect, if only they knew what we see."
(he's cool….now I gotta think of a starter)
Lian ran home from school, heels clicking on the concrete. The rain was starting to fall heavily, and Lian was slowly being soaked in water. Yet she didn't care. She hated school, and she hated her family. She tore open the door to their huge mansion, dripping water on the floor as she closed it behind her.
On the stairs of the foyer, Aidan sat across them and stared at the ceiling. At the sound of the door opening his head slowly tilted in its direction, and a smile formed on his lips when he saw his sister was home.
"Hey baby sis, you look nice." he mumbled, slowly picking himself up from the stairs. He made his way over to Lian and ran his fingers through her soaked hair. "Why didn't you take an umbrella?"
Lian wiped her tears away, knowing that they wouldn't show because of the rain droplets on her face. Her makeup was running and her hair was now slightly scraggly. "Um, it wasn't raining when I left for school this morning. So, I didn't think I needed one. So I didn't take one to school."
Aidan ran his thumbs underneath her eyes, noticing that her mascara was smudged. He knew she'd been crying. He hated it when she cried because he knew he couldn't do anything to help. He moved away from her, pulling a tin of pre-rolled joints as he dragged himself upstairs.
"You should have a shower and get changed before mum sees you. I'll be on my balcony if you need me."
Lian nodded quickly and then ran upstairs. She kept her head down as she ran through the halls, locking herself in her room. She leaned against the door, letting the tears fall. She looked down at her wrists, and the rain had washed away some of the foundation. She could clearly see some of her self-harm scars. She quickly pulled off her dress and layed it on her bed, ready for a maid to take it and dry it. She hopped into the shower, letting the hot water run down her body as she softly cried.
The rain poured down on Aidan's umbrella as he stood on his balcony and smoked. With every drag he took, he could feel all his stress draining out of his body. After the joint had burned down he lit another. He kept smoking until there was nothing left in the tin. With a sigh he slid the tin back into his pocket and collapsed his umbrella, letting the rain drench him to the bone. The sky appeared to be darker, with no light to be seen amid the grey clouds. A soft chuckle floated out from his lips as he trekked back into his room and peeled his jacket and top from his body, throwing them in the direction of the door. He flopped onto his bed, a smile on his lips as he stared at the ceiling.
As Lian stepped out of the shower, she could see all of her makeup streaking down her face. She quickly grabbed a makeup wipe and wiped it across her face, removing all of the excess. She blow dried her hair in the locked bathroom, not wanting the possibility of someone bursting in. She started to reapply her makeup, being careful along her scars. She moved out of her bathroom and into her bedroom, pulling on a dry dress. She then pulled on a pair of flats, ready to walk around the house. She was still upset, but she never showed it in front of her parents. They couldn't know.
(I'll be back later, I have some thing to attend to for the time being)
(I'm back! Where do you want to go with this rp?)
(idk yet…maybe they have family dinner soon…or a 'charity' ball)
