The fact that there are people in this fandom who are genuinely baffled by the idea of a couple not being in love at the start of their book and that part of their story will be them falling in love, is just so strange to me.

Ugh, idk, maybe I want to see Elain have a beautiful love story with a guy who cares about her happiness and wellbeing and not her slinking around in dark corners with a guy she can barely hold a meaningful conversation with.

Doing both La Demande and Tu Dois this week! Pretty straightforward lyric-writing experience all things considered (though one even the London fucked up for no good reason…”My good friend control your lust” indeed 🤮). Also among the more fun songs to write for. This one is such an underrated waltz; if RetJ were a lesser musical it would be a highlight. As it is, the whole score is too darn good, so this piece is underrated.

Paris' Proposal (La demande en mariage)

Paris Young, well-off Handsome and rich Not to neglect My wealth and land I’d make the perfect match All of my clout At your command 

Have you any debts? I can pull you through Throw you feasts and balls All to honor you But by this hand, my heart is set On making her my bride Your Juliet

Capulet Paris, well You do surprise You flatter me well But realize She’s young Still just a child Green and unsure Unready yet 

So your grand desire It shall have to wait But join us at our feast And there your longing sate

But for her sake, do try to be Slow with your advance You must first share a dance One should not rush a fine romance

Capulet & Chorus For grave’s the crime To take a heart Before its time

Capulet Before her time…

Suzanne Collins just said fuck you to everyone who’s ever critiqued the Hunger Games as being a “teen girl saves the day” story. She said oh, Mockingjay didn’t make it clear enough? Here’s a book about how people have been rebelling for decades only to have their efforts suppressed and propagandized. Rebellion takes time and it takes failure and Katniss may have been the spark that ignited the wildfire but she did so standing atop the doused flames of everyone who came before her.

i had a thought of "do people not know what AUs are anymore?" and then i remembered nobody explains fandom stuff to new people anymore so it is entirely plausible people genuinely don't know what AUs are and nobody has explained it to them, so for today's lucky 10,000:

"AU" stands for "Alternate Universe" or "Alternative Universe" (same difference) and is basically any thought scenario for a fandom that isn't canon and can't fit within the canon universe. If it takes place in the canon universe but something is notably different, that is typically what's known as a "Canon divergent AU," because it diverges from canon.

an AU can be absolutely anything. There's a couple of widespread pan-fandom au scenarios that often get thrown around, like coffee shop aus, genderbend aus, hanahaki aus (hanahaki is a whole thing in itself i'd recommend researching on your own), etc. One you might hear sometimes is "crossover AU" which is when you have characters from one fandom interacting with characters from another.

You can have as many aus as you want. They can be whatever you want and you can do whatever you want in them. It's a sandbox for you to play around in and explore how things would be different or how the characters would act in those circumstances or environments. Maybe they have different relationships with each other. Maybe they behave slightly differently. Or you can just say "Okay, [x] is true. How did they get here? How would things have to be different for this to occur?" which can also be fun.

If you are ever confused about why people ship something that seems completely out of the blue or doesn't make sense to you in the canon setting, there's a good chance they like it in an AU setting! Not everything everybody is interacting with is necessarily the canon! Not everybody wants things to exist in canon and just want to explore playing dolls in a different sandbox and that's okay. And their sandbox might look a lot different than yours, and that's also okay. You have the freedom to make your sandbox whatever you please. Do whatever you want forever. Get funky with it. AUs are fun.

Okay that's my schpeal. everybody go have fun and play nice now.

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.
