After the success of their EP last year, "Evening Out with Your Mentor", Fall Out Victor are back with debut album "Take This to Your Arena" Known for "Calm before the Cornucopia", "Hey Mitch", and "Homesick on the Victory Tour", FOV have grown a small but loyal following thanks to Mellark's devilishly witty, bleeding-heart lyrics brought to life through Everdeen's soaring vocals (though one wonders if it may also have something to do with lead guitarist Odair and his scandalous outfits). Newly joined by the legendary Mason - pint-sized maniac on the drums and outspoken critic of Capitol Charts - this band is surely one to watch. Be sure to check out "Take This to Your Arena", available in your local record store today! --- Exclusive interview with Peeta Mellark! Who is the Mockingjay? What is his favourite colour?? Did he and Finnick really kiss outside Quarter Quell?????? Turn to page 12 to find out!

the more I play the more I think lucanis basically knows it's illario who betrayed him right from the beginning (he's had a year in the ossuary to think. not that many people knew where he was going. when you ask him 'did Illario know you'd be on that ship' his only answer is the hardest flattest 'yes' you ever heard). so it's not so much about figuring out who the traitor is (because that's ludicrous. we all know. immediately. they didn't really bother to hide it lmao) as about methodically closing off every single avenue of denial lucanis has clung to that whole time with as much or little gentleness as you might prefer until he has no choice but to admit it. because the moment he has to admit it, he'll have to do something -- feel something -- about it. and that's such a catastrophic event in lucanis' inner landscape (he has had TWO people in this whole entire world up until now and will do anything to hold on to them with a heartbreaking child-like desperation, even at and especially through the detriment of his own self) that he'd rather just. not. what if we quite simply. didn't. what if we just stayed here in the emptiness where we can both pretend you didn't hurt me in a way I should never forgive. I have so much practice in that with caterina already it's always worked out great for everyone so far. (press x to fucking doubt but that's trauma logic for you lol)

after everything illario did, so much of the storm of lucanis' emotions around it is 'what the FUCK did you get yourself tangled up in this time and how do I get you out of this mess safely'. what's worse: the fact that your brother murdered you, or that he put himself in horrible danger doing so and thus exposed you to the risk of losing him forever. lucanis' heart certainly has an opinion here and it's fucking unhinged (affectionate)

the themes of dissociation in lucanis' character in general makes me feel nuts. allllll these contradictory messy things he needs to cut off from each other because they can't coexist or be easily reconciled inside him. but all remain stubbornly true separately anyway and will have their due one day. love and resentment. tenderness and fear and rage. terror and longing. love and freedom don't coexist. the burned out golden child anthem is playing in the background. he was always caterina's favourite and he has to keep striving to deserve that dubious honour with every breath he takes and then, presumably, mercifully, some day he will die and be excused and can rest. and until now he's suppressed all the -- natural, healthy, protective! -- negative feelings that threaten the few attachment relationships he actually has, at the cost of ever actually having his needs for connection and safety met and leaving his core self imprisoned and compromised. and spite goes 'what. no. that's dumb fuck that' (*spite voice* I do not understand that and even if I did I would not respect it) and does not allow him to fall back into that, which I think is what saves his life, ultimately. it took being possessed by a demon for lucanis to even contemplate telling anyone he loves 'no' in any way, but hey. whatever gets you there right lol

lucanis is dealing with the freeze response allll the way down baby. and he was even before the ossuary, that just turbo powered it and brought it to a breaking point way before it could happen naturally. but something was going to break eventually no matter what, and I'm just glad that in the end, through the power of friendship and also pure spite, it doesn't have to be him

katniss is so funny. she is always thinking she’s so matter of fact, so objective and lacking in feeling, and yet basically everything and anything she’s done since her father’s passed was motivated by a strong sense of morality and a shockingly deep love of her family, her friends, and what’s left of the good of what she believes in. there isn’t much in her toughened world that hasn’t been touched by grief and unfairness and hardship, but she doesn’t look at any of it with any less care and concern. she doesn’t romanticize any of it - in that sense she very much is very matter of fact - but she protects it all fiercely anyway and in her way loves it all fiercely anyway, even if she says it’s not love, it’s practicality. it so clearly is. she is so constantly confused by this unnerving force that speaks inside her head that she refuses to name as empathy, but everyone else sees it and responds to it. absurd resilience, unnerving strength in every sense of the word, all of it serving her seemingly neverending capacity for self-reflection and compassion, flawed as they can be, but all always pointed forwards, upwards, onwards to the next obstacle. that’s katniss everdeen

finally, something new to look forward to

The hardest part of baldurs gate 3 is actually rejecting Wyll’s dance scene when your romancing someone else. Nauseating.

there is something so nostalgic and bittersweet about revachol when you're an eastern european.

the fishing village looks like any half-abandoned village near the water. whirling is any semi-decent hostel. yeah, the architecture is run down in smaller towns. there are preserved world war II damages that serve as memorials of all the people who lost their lives fighting or just trying to survive.

you find yourself exploring martinaise and suddenly you're like "oh, renne and gaston remind me of these two old men i knew when i was a child. they were friends and they hated each other. they would always wave at me when i rode my bike past them and said hello."

or, you see cuno and cunoesse and they remind you of these kids you were mildly scared of when you were little because they seemed so tough, when actually they had no support from adults in their lives and were just trying to seem tough to navigate life as best as they could.

or, you meed lilienne and she reminds you of your mum's friend whose children you used to play with. her late husband was an alcoholic and she had to be tough for the kids. she was really nice to you.

you're a cop in a corrupt system, but you're also a man you could meet in real life. maybe you have a man like that in your family. maybe you recognise a bit of yourself in him.

i think it's a part of the beauty of disco elysium. revachol is a fictional city, but all these little things about martinaise make it seem so familiar, a world that you remember from your childhood all those years back, before they build glass skyscrapers and renovated the old houses, and these nice family from city centres started moving to the suburbs.
