"How did the person who wrote that text know about the birthmark prophecy before Nile was even born?" < The writing is bad.

"Why didn't Discord and Tuah retrieve Quynh right away if they were there when she was locked in the iron maiden?" < The writing is bad.

"Why didn't The Guard dream about Discord? Why didn't Joe, Nicky, Booker and Nile dream about Tuah?" < The writing is bad.

"Why did Discord and Lykon lose their immortality if Nile didn't cut them?" < The writing is bad.

"Why did the stab wound Nile gave Andy in the first film heal right away, when the cut Nile gave Booker didn't?" < The writing is bad.

"Why didn't Tuah just tell Nile what Booker was trying to do?" < The writing is bad.

"Why didn't Discord just take Booker's immortality from him since he was willing? Why is she trying to take everyone's immortality as if she can have extra immortality somehow?" < The writing is bad.

"Why -"

Listen. The answer to every single question about this film's nonsensical plot is:

The. Writing. Is. BAD.

guys i’m graduating tomorrow

i swear i’ll stop talking about this soon but i honestly cannot stop thinking about these posts :’)))

wdym u used to make me walk on the inside of the pavement and trace ur fingers across my thighs and squeeze my hand and call me pretty and stare into my eyes and kiss me like you were starving and cup my face when we were making out?!!! wdym you leant me your sweater and i wore it to the library for days, wdym u used to text me saying u missed me and couldn’t wait to see me again, wdym you told me the city im moving to was only gonna be “a train ride away” and you’d come if id have you?! wdym you used to check in with me when we were intimate because u knew i could get overwhelmed easily? wdym you once introduced me to your friends as “your girl”?! wdym you helped me put my bags in the taxi at 3am when i had to go to the airport? wdym you came to my birthday picnic and met all my friends and let me sit on your lap and whispered to me that i looked nice and smiled when it made me shy ?! wdym you made out with your ex in the club when we were exclusive and j was in a different country and begged me the day after to forgive you and said you wanted to make things right?!! wdym you told me that if we’d been official it wouldn’t have happened (WHEN YOU WERE THE ONE WHO WANTED TO WAIT TO BE OFFICIAL)

wdym you said and did all these things and promised you wouldn’t hurt me or get angry with me and then TWENTY MINUTES after our last call in which you said you needed to figure out what you wanted, you posted a meme about downloading hinge :’) and the day before (when i asked you if everything was okay between us) you said yes everything was fine, whilst reposting this tiktok :’))

WHAT DO YOU MEAN ?!!!!!!

[rosaaeles]

i know this sounds really silly but all i keep thinking is that if he redownloaded hinge a few mins after we spoke then its not that he didn’t want anything with anyone, its just that he didn’t want me

and i know i shouldn’t want to be wanted by someone like this, but for a while i was. i was liked and seen and held, and now i feel like im none of those things

i honestly think he was my first love, or at the very least the first time i’ve felt like this about someone and to hear him speak so bluntly about it all and say contradictory things on call really sucked

was planning on making a tumblr comeback today and posting about my annie cresta mermaid au because i was starting to feel inspired for it but then last night i got basically broken up with so no fic updates unfortunately everybody!

[rosaaeles]

i spoke to him again a few hours ago bc i wanted closure and to ask some things i didn’t really understand yesterday,

and he said that he was really like just not able to give himself wholly to someone else rn and he needs to figure out what he needs and wants! and he said that he had time to think about it a few weeks ago when i was being distant apparently (minds you a few weeks ago he made out with his ex at the club and i chose to forgive him for a range of reasons so like my bad if i was being a bit distant) and i was like okay makes sense and it gave me a bit of closure .

THEN 20 mins later he posts on his story and it’s like a meme about downloading hinge and then yesterday on tiktok he reposted something that was like “when i tell her im not ready for a relationship and she says she’ll wait but i just don’t want her”

posting these things where i can see them is insane, all the tears i had left literally dried up right there because what the fuck. how are you so evil. SAVE ME FROM EVIL MEN SOMEONE PLEASE

Sigh. Can yall stop pretending like most THG characters are white? Because. Guys. There are purposeful parallels between the capitol and the districts relationship and the western worlds white supremacy. Guys. Haymitch isn’t white! Katniss isn’t white! The merchant families in d12, yea maybe, but like.! Stop acting like Lenore Dove isn’t as a woman of color, especially when you consider how she was treated disproportionately violent by the peacekeepers in SoTR. Idk. Ignoring how race places a role in TNG makes it a lot easier to miss very important conversations and themes

[rosaaeles]

MIXRD LENORE DOVE I WON I FUCKING WON

[rosaaeles]

it's my birthday tomorrow wtf

[rosaaeles]

although katniss is our protagonist and main character i think there's actually a much more fitting throughline when it comes to the presence of covey girls and their acts of rebellion.

lucy gray

lenore dove

primrose

i don't often see prim mentioned when it comes to covey lineage (most likely because her character is so aligned with their merchant mother in the original trilogy) but all three of these girls actively haunt the narrative.

lucy gray is the ghost whose songs of resistance endure in district 12 long after her name is forgotten. lenore dove paints her posters across the district and its haymitch's promise to her that forces him to keep going, keep fighting back until someone 'just like him but luckier' comes along to do what he couldn't. primrose is reason that katniss volunteers, she inspires a love so great that it defies the odds and brings her sister home.

they all have an immense strength but also an inherent gentleness - their love of animals whether this is lucy gray's snakes or lenore dove's geese or prim's refusal to hunt animals (not to mention lady and buttercup) - they are all drawn to creatures that are not widely seen as valuable or lovable.

they share a deep sense of optimism, each believe in the power of hope to transform one's circumstances. they each believe that a better world is not only possible but they are willing to take action to make it so. lucy gray uses her songs and performances, lenore dove engages in acts of sabotage and vandalises property. prim learns how to heal and chooses to enter a warzone in order to help people - in a world governed by violence, prim is first and foremost a healer.

and ultimately they are all taken from those who love them - they are girls frozen in time, forever filled with colour and light. three generations of covey girls, each doomed by their connection to the games.

hihi. kill me

[rosaaeles]

so after, when he whispers, “you love me. real or not real?” i tell him, “real.”

prints + merch + commission info pinned to profile :)

Haymitch and his ducklings

[rosaaeles]

Hmm actually Lucy Gray is different from Haymitch and Katniss and Peeta because her tragedy is she caused the games to continue. If the games hadn't become entertaining, they wouldn't have continued and she made it entertaining because she was an entertainer - she saved herself but she doomed dozens more because she performed too well and it allowed the Capitol to make the games a performance in the later years. Haymitch's tragedy is that he couldn't end the games, Lucy Gray's is that she continued them.

Someone asked me what I think the songs from SOTR might sound like. Here's a litte draft of the first song we hear Lenore Dove sing! I only have my guitar on me, but I tried to do something that I think would sound good with an accordion because that's what she's playing when Haymitch finds her singing it! I also added bird sounds in the background because he finds her in the Meadow! Haymitch describes her voice as soft and haunting which I also tried to emulate :) enjoy!
