'you got me helpless.'

So this year has been pretty good to me. I married the love of my life, had a baby boy Oliver who is my world, my poetry book came out which you should totally get and I am starting to film the new season of Riverdale. I haven’t mentioned it being the holiday season either, because I am sure you are hearing that enough. I just haven’t had time to breathe, but who needs that? Anyhow, I am Lili. How has this year been treating you, and what would you say that the highlight has been for you?

I honestly agree, the year has been good to me as well. Not with the marriage part obviously but the baby part. Being pregnant is such a gift to me and I am so happy. I also bought your poetry book, it’s amazing. I am excited to be filming with you and the rest of our friends on Riverdale. I love the holiday season so never can hear it enough. I’m excited for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Hey, if you need a babysitter at all I’m always around. The highlight for me is definitely being pregnant with my baby boy.

I like to tell people—and let’s face it, myself—that I can handle watching myself on screen when I’m in projects because I can separate art from artist. But honestly, in some cases, there are things that I physically cannot watch. Especially from my earlier roles. I’ve grown so much as an actor since then and it just feels really cringy to watch me make weird acting choices and faces and things like that. I don’t regret being in any of the movies or television shows that I was in, I just wish that sometimes I had a time machine where I could go back and like…be better at the roles that I was in. Does anyone else feel that way? Or is everyone else just so confident in their acting or singing abilities that they would never do the same thing over twice?

Oh, yeah. I definitely don’t like watching myself on screen because I feel like I’m really weird when I cry or something. Mostly crying or screaming. It makes me laugh most of the time and I make fun of myself. I’m just afraid of rewatching it a lot and having others make fun of me as well. It’s awful. Then again, I probably shouldn’t be that worried about others since their opinions don’t matter. I just care about my fans’ opinions a lot.

I’ve been living in California for almost a decade now but I’ve never tried candy corn until now and wow. I’m absolutely obsessed and I’m kicking myself to never trying them before. I hear they’re a controversial sweet, though. People seem to have very strong feelings about them. So tell me, how do you feel about candy corn, are you a fan or no? Do you have a controversial food favourite everyone else seems to hate? Hi, I’m Dan and I’m always looking to find more yummy snacks to try. Give me some (bad) ideas for my next cheat day.

I actually don’t eat candy corn because it’s not vegan, but I’m close friends with a lot of people who either don’t or do like candy corn. It’s never in between. I stick with Skittles and vegan friendly candy. I don’t think I have any candy like that but I say get Skittles next cheat day. They’re so good and I love me some Skittles, I have a whole box full that I bought from the store when they were on sale. Hello, Dan. I’m Vanessa.

I feel like everyone has that one thing that a majority of people like but /you/ can’t stand. Mine happens to be coffee. I still drink it sometimes when I’m running on little sleep but I have to have those flavored coffee creamers or something to distract me from the smell and taste of the drink. Last time I was smelling some chocolate to distract myself from the smell of coffee… What’s something you hate or don’t like that most people love?  | @hfrpstarters​

Something I hate is probably hummus? I can’t stand that stuff. The smell of it is gross and the taste of it is even worse. I just can’t deal with any of it, honestly. Though, if it’s something someone gives me I’ll eat it just to get rid of it but I’ll regret it because it taste so horrible. I’ll probably be judged for disliking hummus but I just do. It’s not my thing. It’s apparently a popular thing with people but, more for those people, I suppose.

I got a few days left in LA, my kid is with his mum and I’m trying to find something to do that’s kind of touristy. Which probably sounds lame? But it’s rare that I have this kind of down time, and once I get back to Spain I’m booked for months, I want to enjoy myself. Plus, as much as I love my kid, he’s going through his terrible twos right now and his tantrums are next level lately. So, I’d love some suggestions on what I can do? Or hell, even some company. | @hfrpstarters​

I haven’t got any ideas since I mostly live in LA and there’s nothing that amazing to me there anymore. But if I were to choose? I’d have to say that you should go to Veggie Grill tomorrow because that place is amazing. I go there all the time to eat. Mini golfing. It’s honestly fun to mini golf in my opinion, it’s one of the things I can still do while pregnant. I haven’t seen my friends’ kids with the terrible twos but it might have skipped them. It’s weird. I just think kids will be kids, I never think they’re terrible twos. That’s me though, I guess.

Are you a top or bottom?

After becoming a father, I’ve time and time again been thinking about different opportunities to make memories with my daughter. Granted she is only nearly four months old, however, I’m starting to think that this year I need to dress up like Santa to assure that I get a good picture of her on Santa’s lap. Let’s be real, most babies cry if any strange guy in a red suit holds them but if it’s their dad? It should be smooth sailing, right? I’ll just have to be sure to make this a holiday tradition. Dad Santa is in the house! That all to say, brothers and I have a Christmas song out called ‘I Need You Christmas’ so go check that shit out if you’re in a holiday mood and if you’re not then, stop being a Scrooge. Are you into listening to Christmas songs before Thanksgiving or is that a total no go for you? @hfrpstarters​

At Christmas parties with the family, a family member will dress up like Santa Claus whether it’s a female or a male. It’s always really funny to everyone when they find out who it is. My aunt was Santa last Christmas and we laughed because she was hilarious since the beard kept falling off, and they asked me to do it this year but since I’m pregnant I can’t do it now. I mean, I could pull it off with my stomach and everything. However, having to have kids and everything sit on my lap wouldn’t be that fun. I say go for it though! It’ll be really cute. The classic ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ by Mariah Carey is on sometimes.
