despite the foggy feeling in her head, lana took her time to caress and run her hands through the softness of her present. it was delicate to the touch, seemingly expensive ( as far as she could tell without asking, for she dared not ) and bright red … the color of wine she would have never chosen for herself and yet, knew better than to say so aloud. the deal was simple, most things that involved making him happy were: lana was expected to put on her new dress and wear it with pride, along with a motherly smile to light up her otherwise empty expression … if she wanted this day to run smoothly and end well for the both of them. but would it make up for every foul thing the young reporter had been put through? inside his twisted mind, that of a vicious sociopath, such was the unspoken goal and she understood as much.
❝ no hard feelings, i’m sure it’ll look beautiful on me. ❞ for the words yet to come, lana had to put on her big girl pants and brace herself for the impact; the sooner she said them, the sooner it would be over. ❝ thank you, baby. ❞

Ducking her head, the Sister looked as though she’d been struck, blue eyes watery with the harshness of the reporter’s tone. Her own voice was soft, tremulous, but she spoke with an underlying conviction that burned with earnest. “‘He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets prisoners free…’ That’s Psalms 146:7.” Peeking up from beneath the curtain of blonde bangs, Mary had begun to wring her hands, turning in a fit of nervousness to gently pull the door closed. “I’m so sorry, Miss Winters… It’s my fault that you’re in here. I should never have agreed to let you in. I deserve whatever blame you cast on me.”
Jesus — this woman sure had a particular way of demeaning herself that rendered the young reporter completely flabbergasted. Harshness thrown aside, Lana never meant for her little angel to be left hurt and feeling like her good intentions didn’t count for nothing. It was her job ( as the one sane person under this unholy roof )to keep her marbles together and not lose it at the tiniest sign of a storm approaching their way. “Hey…” Setting the rusty fork aside, she lifted herself off the bed and crossed the room in no less than three rushed steps; ample space to move was a privilege Lana could no longer afford. Both hands reached out to hold Mary’s cheeks, kindly forcing her to look away from the ground and straight into her dark eyes. “It’s not your fault, Sister. You did what I asked so it’s all on me… I did threaten you, remember? And god knows you were right to fear Jude’s wrath, that woman is dangerous.”
Language, the brunette wanted to say —— oh, but how could she have blamed Effie for taking after her mommy? Curse words and all, Lana did love the child and took great pride in knowing she wasn’t all her father. Looks didn’t mean a damn thing. “Come now, we’ll get it fixed for you.” Snatching the ripped beanie out of her daughter’s hand, she held it close and proceeded to assess the damage… maybe she spoke too soon, but what else was new? “Scratch that — let me buy you another one.”
Mocked by the Devil in disguise, who could have seen this coming? But what a beautiful costume it was… treacherous and ruined only by the black cloth she wore like a blunt defiance to all things sacred Briarcliff stood for. “And why should I call you? You of all people, Sister, wouldn’t lift a goddamn finger to help me.” Smoking cigarette in tow, she leaned over the nun’s desk and clutched the wooden edge with her free hand. Hard. “I may be yours… but that doesn’t mean I have to trust you.”
Fame and loads of fortune, that was her world now. Saying she was sorry couldn’t even begin to explain how much Lana hated herself for turning her back on the kids — those wonderful children who deserved nothing but kindness, for that was all they knew how to put out into the world. A self-centered bitch, that’s exactly what the woman had evolved into… and as she put her arms around Julia’s frame on her lap Lana made a silent promise to herself ( one she was destined to break as soon as the opportunity arose ): never to let her feet soar and lose contact with planet Earth again.
“I miss you too, baby. But I’m here now, aren’t I? And we will have fun driving your father nuts, you two need some serious spoiling.”
There was no more room available for his words to settle within Lana’s absent mind, still sore and seemingly lost after being gifted with the rough touch of electricity in a box. Despite feeling like she had been sent drifting a thousand miles away from reality, the woman’s brain hadn’t lost its prodigious ability to hear and register all that occurred around her — a curse heightened by Jude’s erroneous concept of proper humane treatment. Was that Father Thomas trying to make her listen? She couldn’t tell, yet focusing her attention entirely on him seemed like the right thing to do if only to avoid being whipped on account of ignoring a superior.
Brown eyes shifted from her poor Briarcliff dinner ( water and a bowl full of oatmeal that smelled like something died in there ) to Sister Mary Eunice’s form waiting by the door —— purity in the flesh, too wonderfully good for the world’s horrors threatening to swallow them both. “She said no food for the inverted. Goddammit, woman — Jude will flip her shit if the wrong person finds this here, you know that.” Whispering loud enough for her voice to rise above the neighbor’s insane babbling, Lana flung both legs off the creaking bed and nearly cringed as her bare feet met cold cement. “I will pin this on you, Sister.”
“We have been sitting here for ——” Lana interrupted herself to consult the time on her wristwatch, golden with embedded diamonds all around the edge. Fame came with a price and it was only fair for a woman to pamper herself, wasn’t it? “Thirty minutes on the dot and I still don’t understand what it is you want from me. I’m sorry sweetheart… but not even I can get mommy dearest out of the madhouse, if that’s the place she needs to be at right now.”
LIKE this post for a starter from Lana Winters. Length will vary ( depending on how likely it is for our characters to interact ), so will my verses and the muse’s age.
✖ This is a selective and private blog, which means I'll be picky with who I interact with. Having too many threads will get on my nerves, it's happened before and I'm not a big fan of dropping good stories.
✖ This blog is highly NSFW.
✖ I don't like being pressured for replies. Give me a week and then feel free to come at me and ask if I have our thread saved in my drafts. Chances are I do.
✖ All promos and graphics are made by me (unless stated otherwise). Theme, background and icons credit goes to Manon.
Un/Following
✖ If I hit the follow button, then it means I'm 100% interested in writing with you.
✖ I will not follow you if there are no rules/about page (OC's only) on your blog, our styles don't go well together or I can't see our muses interacting. It's nothing personal, but I do like keeping my dash clean.
✖ Blogs with little to no writing or that have been inactive for more than three weeks will be unfollowed, unless there's a hiatus notice.
SHIPPING
✖ This is a multi-ship blog, the mun will not engage in sexual situations with minors but also doesn't mind fading to black.
✖ I ship my muse with chemistry. However, if you think our characters go well together and would like to try a ship, please let me know and we can discuss it. I'm a shipping piece of trash so chances are I will love it.
INTERACTIONS
✖ If we're mutuals, feel free to send me memes, like starter calls and reply to open starters. My ask box is always open and you can contact me through IM's if you ever feel like plotting. You also have the right to ask for my Skype username.
✖ I don't mind having multiple threads with the same muse! Specially if it's a ship and helps develop their relationship.
✖ If we're not mutuals, you can still send me memes but you're not allowed to turn them into a thread.
✖ I will not roleplay with anons. It makes me uncomfortable so please, respect that.
EXCLUSIVES
✖ I love having exclusives, this means I will only interact with your version of the muse you play and vice versa (there may be a few exceptions).
✖ This is American Horror Story, 18+ content will be present in threads and posts. Keep that in mind before following.
✖ The only two triggers that will be tagged are NSFW and tw: gore. In other words, sex and graphic torture (this doesn't include a few droplets of blood). If there's something you'd like to see tagged, please let me know and I will.
MEMES
✖ Not all memes will be answered, it depends on the muse and content of said meme. It can also take me a while to reply to them, threads come first.
✖ If you want to turn a meme into a thread, please make a new post for it.
✖ While I do not believe that you have to send me a meme every time you reblog one from me, if you're going to share or like more than three it'd be nice to get one in return. My blog is not a meme source.

✖ As a personal (non-rp blog), you're allowed to:
- Follow me.
- Like threads, ooc posts, reblogs and share promos.

✖ But you're not allowed to:
- Reblog my threads, headcanons and ooc posts.
- Try to roleplay with me. All memes and questions directed to the muse will be ignored.
- Ask me to write fanfics for you, specially if it involves smut.
✖ If you like threads very often and my roleplay partner complains about it, I'm in my right to message you and ask you to stop. If you reblog something you're not supposed to and refuse to stop, I will block you.
ABOUT THE MUN
✖ You can call me Lovett, Mayte, dude... Whatever floats your boat; just be respectful xD I'm 22 years old and live in Mexico.
✖ English isn't my first language. I do try my best not to make any mistakes but I'm human, please don't make me feel bad for it.
✖ You can refer to me as she/her.
✖ Writing is my biggest passion and I like getting to know my partners. If you come into my messages and just throw something random at me, you can be sure it won't bother me one bit.
✖ The mun suffers from severe anxiety that can be sometimes triggered by feeling like I have a lot to do and write. If I drop our thread or take forever to reply, please don't hate on me or assume I don't like you.
If you've made it this far, thank you for reading my rules! Send me a "Spot jumps." if you're feeling like it.
