for the weekend prompts thing:

i believe very strongly that ryan and abi would have gotten along very well prior to the events of the game, so i’d love to see something fluffy of the two of them, if it’s not too much trouble!!

Day One. It was Day One and already she saw the whole summer stretching out in front of her - two muggy, sweaty months of unfamiliar food and no air-conditioning and, worst of all, loneliness.

It was hard not to think about all the promises her parents had made her in the weeks she'd spent hemming and hawing over signing up. It'll be good for you, they'd said; Maybe this will help you out of your shell, they'd said; Think of all the friends you'll make, they'd said.

But there she was. On Day One. Eating her lunch alone.

Like always.

She glanced off to the side, trying not to be obvious. It was pointless, she quickly realized, since everyone else was having too much fun to pay her any attention. They sat around a picnic table all their own, laughing and gesturing and smiling, and if it hadn't been for the smell of pine sap and lemon Pledge all around them, she might've been back in her school's cafeteria, poking at her tater tots while wondering how the popular kids managed to make it all look so easy.

Emma's makeup and hair were perfect, like sweat couldn't touch her, like it simply didn't dare. Jacob and Nick kept leaning towards each other and talking from the corners of their mouths, snickering like they'd known each other forever. Kaitlyn had rolled the sleeves of her counselor shirt up and tied them with elastics in the effortless way athletes had, managing to look fashionable and unreasonably adept at once. Dylan wasn't saying much, but every time he did open his mouth, the rest of them laughed and laughed and laughed, and...

Abi sighed and went back to poking at her food. That turned out to be a bad idea, though - looking down like that, there wasn't any hiding the tears that had started welling up, turning her lunch tray into a swirling, blobby mess. She blinked hard, glanced away again, and that time caught sight of Ryan, also eating by himself.

That was different, though. He'd chosen to sit by the fireplace, away from everyone else; he'd wanted to be alone, to have time to flip through his book without anyone bothering him. That was the trademark of the cool guy, wasn't it? It didn't matter if they wore the same clothes or liked the same things, at the end of the day, he chose not to talk to people and people chose not to talk to her, and that was that on that.

She knew that. She knew it the way she knew everything about other people: quietly but certainly, without any proof but the aching weight in the very bottom of her heart. She'd tried to explain it to her parents a hundred times, but...well, she'd ended up here anyway.

Before she could think any deeper on it, she reached down to her backpack and grabbed one of her sketchbooks, laying it flat on the table beside her. She just needed a distraction, something to keep her from thinking about what she was missing out on, and if her parents had a problem with that, well it was too bad, because they weren't here and they didn't get it. It wasn't that she didn't want to make friends, it was that she couldn't, she was standing on the outside of that world looking in, and no matter what she did, no matter how hard she tried, no matter -

"You draw?"

Startled, she looked up, her face already burning sunburn-hot, like she'd been caught doing something she shouldn't've. "I - " she started, then stuttered, then stammered, caught between apologizing and over-explaining, her brain racing to pick which one would make her seem less pathetic. "Not...not really. I mean, okay, sort of? But not, like. Not seriously. Just...um...it's just something I do sometimes, not even like a hobby, really, just..."

Ryan's expression was utterly unreadable. In the little time she'd known him, she'd come to the conclusion it always was, that no one would ever be able to make heads or tails of what was going on in his head. Even so, she knew in her heart of hearts that she'd ruined her first impression by babbling like some sort of baby, blushing and fidgeting and never quite finding the strength to meet his eyes. No doubt he was regretting saying anything to her; he was probably making a mental note to give her a wiiide berth for the rest of the summer, and know what? She didn't have anyone to blame but herself.

So she was more than a little shocked when he got up from the lip of the fireplace and set his stuff down at her table instead, placing his own notebook down in such a way that she could see what he'd been working on. A sketch of the others, in fact, gathered around their table and hunched together, their faces hidden but their sense of togetherness, of belonging, indisputable.

"I'm, uh...not the best with big groups," he said after a while, folding his arms, then shrugging, then dropping his arms, then shrugging again. "More of a...silent bystander, I guess. If that makes sense."

Abi looked at his drawing for a moment longer, more than a little shocked by the overwhelming sense of calm that had settled over her in such a short time. Eventually she smiled, shyly turning her own sketchbook so he could see where she'd last left off - a rough outline of the island set out on the lake, the figures of the others much too far off to see. "It, um...does," she nodded. "It definitely does."

A beat, two, and then Ryan smiled, proving every last one of her worries wrong. "You mind if I...?" he asked, gesturing towards the spot at the table he'd already sort of claimed.

"Oh, go ahead!"

Maybe the summer wouldn't be so lonely after all. Not if she had someone to eat lunch with.

And hey, it was only Day One.

its terrible when people havent seen wells for boys bc I use wells for boys as an adjective

[bazwillendinflames]

This entire era was just rtd doing nostalgia bait for his previous era without actually bothering with a proper plot. Bringing back legacy characters can absolutely be done well and has been in the past, but here is really just felt like it was overshadowing the doctor. And I’m sure 15 will get overshadowed by a lot of fans because rtd had tennant before him and Billie piper after him. Both are good actors who played well liked characters, but they aren’t the entire show, they are not more important to doctor who canon than everyone else. Can’t we just take the time to appreciate a new actor who was delightful in the role of the doctor

Not to mention the racism of it all, rtd has a track record of sidelining his characters of color, and unsurprisingly he did it this time too. Ncuti was the first black doctor and him and Belinda were the first fully nonwhite tardis team, and yet we had so many doctor lite stories and Belinda’s characterization was basically forgotten in favor of focusing on the white companion from last season

[bazwillendinflames]

Babiess 😭😭

[bazwillendinflames]

Remember when people complained Moffat couldn’t write women

[bazwillendinflames]

it’s really wild how rtd learned nothing from martha. made the doctor cut Belinda off when discussing segregation, had her be barely a character by the end of the story then completely overshadowed by ruby.

don’t get me started on ncutis doctor being overshadowed twice for nostalgia bait :/

[bazwillendinflames]

im mad about billie piper not bcus i don’t love billie piper and think she’s fantastic but i just. i want something new. this doctor who just feels so stuck in the past and i want something new. i don’t want another regeneration into someone from before like david tennant. ncuti feels like his time was unfinished (never got rogue out of super hell!!!) and so this regeneration just feels weird and tired and out of ideas

[bazwillendinflames]

it's cos you're always outing those damn knives

[bazwillendinflames]

Get to know your mutuals!

Favourite color: Pastel purple 💜

Currently reading: Audiobook: Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao. Book: Emperor of Gladness by Ocean Vuong. Both are bangers and I love them. (Ps - follow me on Storygraph)

Last song: Been obsessed with Bed Rest by Conan Gray - ARE YOU AWARE WE"RE GETTING A NEW CONAN GRAY ALBUM!

Most recent series: Watching The Last of Us - really enjoying this series but I think season one still has the edge it is perfect tv. S2 having a narrative split across more seasons/years makes it less sastifying but I did love the flashback episode!

Most recent film: She Said, the story behind the article that broke the Harvey Weinstein case. This film was so stressful to watch I swear but very good and powerful. Very respectful in how it approaches sexual assault, which is described by the women but never shown or exploited for shock value.

Sweet/salty/savory: Sweet baby!

Tea or coffee: Both! Currently in an ice coffee phase again though. Save me oat milk iced latte...

Working on: Very slowly working on a Maysilee Donner as Katniss and Peeta's mentor fic. I've been very creatively blocked lately so been taking it slowly when writing but I will share a sneak peak because it will probably be months until I finish it:

“I volunteer,” the oldest girl calls. She pushes her sister behind her the moment the peacekeepers release her arm. “I volunteer as tribute.”  Effie is overcome with shock and excitement. This girl may be District Twelve’s first volunteer.  Primrose has to be dragged away as the girl climbs the stairs to the stage. She stands beside Effie, face stoney. Maysilee follows her gaze, on her sister, still sobbing. Asterid gathers her in her arms, tears in her own eyes.  “Katniss Everdeen,” the girl says when Effie prompts her. Maysilee turns to her.  She hadn’t known either of Asterid’s children's names until today. Now she and all of the Panem won’t forget them. This is Distinct Twelve’s biggest news since she won.  “Didn’t want your sister to have all the glory,” Effie chirps.  Katniss’ jaw clenches as she stays silent.   “A round of applause for our tribute.”  Then a strange thing happens. Fingers touch lips. Hand after hand raises in the sky. A symbol of respect, mourning, and district pride.  A poster, Maysilee thinks with a thrill.  Katniss has already achieved what she had always tried. She had done something kind and radical and brave in face of the unfairness of the games. And all of Panem would see. Her volunteering is too dramatic, too memorable to be cut out of the broadcast.

“This morning's poster says, We're civilized. We appreciate beautiful things. We're as good as you. It's an extension of her whole campaign to show the Capitol our value." SOTR page 294

“"We each have a serving of stew and rice. They even send us silverware and plates."” The Hunger Games page 303

Haymitch remembered Maysilee in every way he could. He was sending a message, he was making a poster just as she did in the arena when she set up their breakfast for them and demanded the attendant give them plates on the train. He was making sure everyone in the capitol who viewed them as play-things could not dehumanize them as they dined on Capitol cuisine. They would sit there, and eat the same food they ate with spoons and bowls and manners. Haymitch, without telling Katniss and Peeta, gave them an opportunity to rebel by showing their civility... just like Maysilee Donner.

OSEMANVERSE PRIDE EVENT

hi everyone! as you all probably know, it's almost pride month. of course, we'll be celebrating that!

every week, we'll highlight a different group of queer osemanverse characters. you can find the schedule on the calendar above.

all kinds of original creations - art, fics, edits, webweaves, headcanons, you name it! - are welcome, there are no limitations. your submissions can be based on any characters from the osemanverse universe. while we don't forbid headcanons, we'd really like you to focus on characters whose sexualities are confirmed or semi-confirmed (e.g. aled being non-binary), even if they might be a little less popular. they deserve the spotlight!

the tag for the event is #osemanversepride2025 (NO spaces), but you can also submit your entry to us directly.

SCHEDULE: week 1 (june 1 - june 7): gay & lesbian characters week 2 (june 8 - june 14): bi & pan characters week 3 (june 15 - june 21): aspec characters week 4 (june 22 - june 28): genderqueer characters (during the last two days you can post general osemanverse lgbtqia+ themed entried, and we'll reblog them too, as long as they're tagged)

please note, that this event isn’t meant to represent every sexuality or identity. we know that some are missing, but that’s simply because there are no confirmed characters in the osemanverse who fit that label. the flags on the calendar are just examples and aren’t meant to represent everything that fits under the label.

read the rules in our pinned post, as we won't share any submissions that break our regulations, but also note a couple other things: 1. we’d love to see the pride theme expressed, but that's not mandatory 2. other characters can be present, even if their sexuality/identity doesn't match the theme of the week, but it should be centred around a character who does match.

if you have any questions, shoot us an ask!

clara oswald HAS to be gods strongest soldier bc she was in a situationship that started with him saying "you look at me, and you cant see me. do you have any idea what thats like" and ends with him saying "theres one thing i know about her. just one thing. if i met her again, id absolutely know." also featuring the lines "do you think i care for you so little that betraying me would make a difference" and "clara, im not your boyfriend" "i never thought you were" "i never said it was your mistake"

literally for every version of the doctor there is a clara. their souls are intertwined. i can't i can't even think rn im dying
