#I Am... Series

[swiftwidget]

I love it!! Ahh!! 💗🥰

Day 18: Cryptid

I figured this prompt was a good place to do a little tribute to the I Am… series by @swiftwidget and @aoimikans, considering how obsessed I was with the series as it was being written. So here’s a toshinomu!

[aoimikans]

aaaaaa it's so good to see you and Swift again!! i hope the two of you are doing well~~ asdlfkjasd;f and i got the update email for Toshinoumu while i was at work and got so excited! i'm gonna reread the entire series again and am so pumped lasdkfjas;ldkf

It's so good to see you again too!! I haven't been on Tumblr in years and was a bit afraid it'd be like a deserted wasteland but I'm seeing so many familiar names 😭😭

The hiatus was really rough on us but we've been writing and brainstorming every day for the last month! Gotta keep it up!! It's so refreshing and days are going by so quickly now that we have the I am... series back in focus!!

Can't believe that since the last update, @swiftwidget and I got engaged, bought a house together, got married, and *just* celebrated our first wedding anniversary last month. We also have four cats and a dog. We only had one of each when the last chapter was posted 😂

It's nuts!! I hope you've been doing well!! Enjoy the reread and definitely let us know what you think!

I feel like if I'm giggling to myself as I write a cute but very much still slow burn Naomight scene, I must be doing something right.

hello! i have a question about toshi's devour quirk- and admittedly im only halfway through the series so my apologies if this is answered later!- but since its an acid that can eat through most things, and lets toshi eat metal, could it effectively take the place of his missing stomach? i mean, he'd probably have to still eat small meals because its just an acid sac and not like...a place where food can be stored as it breaks down, but wouldn't it functionally be the same?

Yes! The stronger acid does aid in digestion, contributing to better eating habits and healthier weight gain. The double-edged sword being that he gets nasty heartburn now and again.

SotR is a realisation. A realisation that the rebellion didn’t start with Katniss. That all the people we see supporting her or helping her have all been wanting to fight but they’ve been failing. That there weren’t merely “rumours” of a revolution but there were many active plans playing out and failing.

It’s a reminder that the perfect Hunger Games we saw in the first hg book was an illusion because we had Katniss as our narrator. We didn’t have Haymitch, hell, we didn’t even have someone like Peeta because these people played the games. Katniss didn’t.

Katniss was introduced to us as a mad, simple, naive girl who literally only survived because of others. She didn’t know how much her taking Prim’s place mattered because she didn’t realise what it meant to everyone who came before her. To everyone who had heard rumours of how the last District 12 victor actually fought his games. No, Katniss had just kept her head down, hunting and providing for her family.

See, she grew up way before the Games got to her. She’d already lived through her dad’s death and watched it destroy her once lively mom. Haymitch didn’t have to go through that. Lucy Gray didn’t have to go through that. They were both angry, yes, but at the Capitol. Katniss? She was first and foremost angry at her mom. At her dad. She knew who was to blame but she had too much to do and deal with to think about that. She was already jaded in a way that the Games couldn’t touch.

Peeta? He was Haymitch. He knew what he was getting into and realised he was just on a chess board with no control. So, he adapted. He played the knight, the rook, the king, the pawn. Katniss? She just… did. Changing directions, not playing the piece she was assigned because she didn’t realise that’s what was going on. Remember her surprise at the crown twisting into two after the Games?? She was so oblivious. Until Catching Fire where everything caught up to her. Where everything so many other people had been waiting and working for caught up to her.

SotR is a history book. Rewritten and edited and published as a piece of fact. SotR is a mirror and it’s a reflection of what actually happens vs what ends up being shown. SotR is the playbook of those in control of any and every kind of media that we come in touch with. SotR is a wake up call and I truly don’t know how many will see it as such.

Percy “I am impertinent” Jackson really looked Zeus dead in the eye and said “Your family is a mess”

i have such a love for characters who descend into madness or villainy out of deep, deep empathy. characters who fundamentally cannot cope with the cruel realities they find themselves in and blow up about it in spectacular fashion. fallen angel type characters with tears of outrage in their eyes. characters who break before they bend, and break so badly they splatter blood all over their noble ideals. every variation on it gets me so good
