The first real conversation Katniss has with Peeta is when he tells her that he wants to die as himself, that he doesn't want the games to change him into something he's not, and that he wants to keep his identity and prove he's more than just a piece in their games because that's the only thing he has left to care about.

The first time we see Lucy Gray she sings a song that basically says that nothing they could take from her was worth keeping. "Can't take my past. Can't take my history... You can't take my charm. You can't take my health."

The capitol has taken everything from them both, but at the same time, they could never take away who they are.

They are both likeable charismatic and funny, with the kindest hearts, and incredibly loyal to the people they care about.

At the same time, everything they do before the games, and during is calculated. Lucy Gray singing a love song and winning the hearts of the capitol. Peeta confesses he's in love with his district partner, therefore cementing her identity as desirable. Both of them know how to sway people with words, how to charm people, and how to manipulate crowds. Neither of them has any problem doing so to keep themselves, and the people they love safe.

Lucy Gray's song The Old Therebefore, about learning how to love and live her life to the fullest before death, a final and calculated stroke in a last-ditch effort to save herself from the arena. This evokes enough emotion in the watchers to get them to rise to their feet and plead for her life alongside Snow.

Snow, watching the 74th and preparing for the 75th Hunger Games sees Lucy Gray in Katniss. A young girl, from the 12th district. Unafraid at the reaping. Selling a false love story, manipulating a boy who loves her in order to get out and supporting the revolution with the mockingjay as her symbol.

He threatens her family to get her to sell that she and Peeta are in love, to prevent the revolution, because obviously, she's pretending. He's had experience with a girl just like her before. He has no doubt that she has the acting ability to sell this story because clearly, she manipulated the first Hunger Games in her favor, the same way Lucy Gray manipulated him.

Watching the interviews for the 75th Hunger Games he realizes-

Katniss is just an impulsive girl, in a Mockingjay dress she didn't know about, made by someone who supports the revolution.

Peeta is a boy who has the ability to move people with just his words. He made Katniss desirable, he was the one who sold the love story, and he was the one to make their romance seem real. Katniss only started the revolution because she would rather risk dying with him than live without him. A concept President Snow was completely unfamiliar with. And it is with all these realizations crashing around him Peeta drops the baby bomb. He knows the baby's not real, and so does Snow. But it evokes enough emotion in the watchers to get them to rise to their feet and plead for the lives of the tributes.

Is it Lucy Gray or Peeta?

By the time Snow realizes he's made a mistake, it's too late.

Peeta is still charming and manipulating the capitol. Katniss is in love.

He goes up against a kindhearted boy expecting to beat Sejanus again, only to find out that it's Lucy Gray he's fighting; knowing he will never be able to escape their ghosts.

"My life and death situation made me realize…all of my cherished memories…were made after I met my family. Mr Jung Bong-wan, you may have enjoyed such happy moments had you been wiser. Just as I’ve done all along. I will continue to make beautiful memories with my family. I’m grateful that my best revenge against you is my family’s happiness. I’ll cherish every moment that we’ll share in the future."

Mr. Kang Sang-Doo: "Mr. Jung Bong-Wan. You may have enjoyed such happy moments had you been wiser. Just as I've done all along, I will continue to make beautiful moments with my family. I'm grateful that my best revenge against you is my family's happiness. I'll cherish every moment that we'll share in the future. Jung Bong-Wan. I hope you...rest in peace."

Episode 11

Mok-ha: "What kind of lunatic remembers and cares about someone she's uninterested in for 15 years?"

orig. Episode 8 and flashback scene in Episode 11

Bo-geol: "What kind of lunatic searches 15 years for someone he's uninterested in?"

[earthshipvoice]

the preview for Episode 11! please don't be playing with my emotions right now. i haven't had any expectations for those two, but OMG! is that really where it's heading??!!!!? AHHHH.

[earthshipvoice]

Episode 10 of Castaway Diva is heartbreakingly precious to me. it is one of those episodes that poked and prodded at many of my heartstrings, succeeding with the intensity of emotions it evoked from me. this episode showcases the most vulnerability i've witnessed in the characters and allowed me to vulnerably examine myself.

what i felt most was a crushing, caring, and heartbroken sadness when witnessing the truth that, for some people facing significant challenges, life doesn't always get any easier; it continues to be difficult. it made me feel deep sadness individually for Mok-ha, Bo-geol, and Woo-hak.

for visual reference, the scene where the mother asks Bo-gul if he was okay, and the scene where Woo-hak went upstairs to look for Mok-ha and proceeded to have THAT conversation with his father </3, when Mok-ha is instructed to convey the emotions while singing the song and those song lyrics!!! </3 triggered so many tears. yet, these scenes were powerfully conveyed by the characters.

i shed tears multiple times throughout this episode, and i absolutely adore what the writers have done for these characters.

Mok-ha: "You went through...so much today."

Mok-ha: "Now, it's all over."

Mok-ha: "It's okay."

Mok-ha: "Really."

Mok-ha: "It's okay."

Bo-geol: "Those words Mok-ha said weren't of comfort."

Bo-geol: "They were words of resolve, but I realized it too late."

i'm a newbie to seeing Chae Jong-heop on screen, and i've been enjoying his face, particularly his smile, in these most recent episodes O:)

[earthshipvoice]

episode 8

Bo-geol: "If you want to help us, become famous. Don't hide. Instead of a so-so singer, become an incredibly famous one. A singer whose first autograph is put up for auction and whose songs change the world. That kind of singer."

episode 1 and flashback in episode 8

Ki-ho: "Good luck on the audition. I hope you become a singer. And not just any singer. But one whose songs are played everywhere, live on tv, in the streets, and in restaurants."

it's my 1 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

[earthshipvoice]

i wanted to thank you...for being alive

[earthshipvoice]

i watched the preview scenes for episode 7, guys!!! :') the sweet sentiment of re-airing the scene of Mok-ha and Ki-ho at the beach while recording the music video, AND the fast-forward moment of what is about to happen. OMG!!!

[earthshipvoice]

Mok-ha: "Ki-ho.

How long... can a secret remain a secret?

If we cover the secret under layers of lies...can we keep the secret from surfacing?

I truly hope this peaceful moment granted to us by the secret will pass slowly.

I hope it will last for a long time."

in Episode 5 of Castaway Diva, the presentation of Eun Mo-rae on the plane, whom Mr. Lee called, was interesting and took a somewhat dark turn. the thought lingers – would Mok-ha have stepped into a gloomy, lonely, unfulfilled future had she been the chosen star instead of Eun Mo-rae? this prompts intentional reflection on the blessings of not always getting what one desires precisely when they want it. it calls for a consideration of the importance of moving forward and refraining from forcefully adhering to a dream that, in reality, might unfold as a nightmare from which we are being protected.

amidst these musings, the symbolism of that girl's pistachio shells spelling out 'f***' is hard to ignore. the very loud message prompts contemplation on the unexpected turns in life, the blessings disguised as rejections/delays, and the potential pitfalls of desires unchecked. it's a heartfelt reminder to appreciate the protective hand of fate, steering us away from paths that may seem appealing at first glance but could lead to unforeseen challenges. Castaway Diva, in its artful storytelling, invites us to ponder the interplay of destiny, dreams, and the often unforeseen blessings in disguise.
