How are you feeling about the excerpt!!

feeling okay! no change, really. so far it reads and is paced how I thought it would be: like every other Haymitch's Games fic, lol. but that's not necessarily a bad thing - like how else is SC supposed to do it? just makes me wonder once again if this is really the best POV and time frame to add to the world 🤷🏻‍♀️

I am surprised at how young Haymitch is. like he *just* turned 16 - younger than Katniss! he might even be a grade below her in the first book, depending on where they split that up? but anyway, that's already a bit of new info that better informs his character but isn't crucial for us to know if that makes sense? it doesn't ruin anything for me that I pegged him somewhere in March and here it's actually July 4th. it's just, now March is wrong. and it lets me know even his birthday will be a point of angst for him - because nothing in his life can be good. :/

Lenore Dove seems to be Covey, and they go into the woods, so we'll see how that goes and how many parallels are drawn there. it might get annoying and become what I was glad TBOSAS wasn't for the most part. or it might be really good! we shall see. 👀

@lasthaysileeshipper did point out in our dm's how that 'butt' should have been 'ass' which I find really amusing. maybe Haymitch won't curse like a sailor and push the YA limit, lmao

what did you think??

you're giving such strawberry energy. I just know you'd be living in 12 having some small shop and buying strawberries off of Katniss 🥹

Marie!!!! 🥰

I love this so much that I made myself a little booth for Sunday market days:

plutarch nation is winning!! how does it feel hehe

Light spoilers below for other people seeing this

I had an insane amount of anxiety when it came to SOTR, especially around Plutarch, but I'm relieved when it came to him. Him being a director rather than a Gamemaker at this point is interesting (But not too out there from what we've seen of him 😁)

I also like how we know he's younger and new to the whole rebel thing. With that one excerpt I reblogged in particular, you can tell he's very bright and has spirit, but is still privileged and seemingly unaware of the reality Haymitch and others in the Districts live through. It's always easy to say these kinds of things about "There's more of you than them, why do you let it happen" without actually being in that situation.

And as you might have seen from my reblog, my mind was a bit blown when I saw it and the parallel popped in my head. Again, I wrote that short story long before this, and now (though not officially), it can be read as how much he's evolved since SOTR. I always worry that I'm writing people OOC and I'm glad that wasn't the case there.

(I did have to tweak my own backstory for him a bit, but honestly? I kind of like the result here. Coalitions coming together and an opportunity for Plutarch to learn more about the realities of being a rebel, even in the Capitol)

A Plutarch headcanon for us?

i've tried to find a headcanon that i haven't shared with you yet which has been a challenge. but here you go:

if he could have chosen, he wouldn't have picked purple for the gamemaker outfits. i know, very controversial, but it's not his favourite colour so if he had had a choice, they wouldn't be purple. he understands why they are, back in the days purple was rare and super expensive to make, but yeah.

on that controversial take, another headcanon i've already shared with you is plutarch plays the violin.

here you go, two for the price of one.

Thank you @distractionsfromthefood, @absnow, @caesarflickermans and anyone else who worked to help solve the mystery. It appears that some browsers, like Firefox, somehow still allow Anons when you're not logged in? But other browsers do not. Weird af, but are we really surprised at this point?

Plucked from its soil, cut and prepared, and kept in a vase for admiration. It yearned for the sun every waking day, but most were kept behind glass.

emily pls help me get into the vibes, so biggest fall vibes philms? 🫶🥹🍂

You are in luck I have a LIST of which philms belong with each season! Some of them are clearly autumnal, others dip into winter, and a few just based on vibes, but here are my top picks:

Capote (2006) of course

A Most Wanted Man (2014), director Anton Corbijn has spoken soooo much about how intentionally he made fall the setting of this film, like he mentions it in every interview!!

A Late Quartet (2012), dips into a snowy winter but the late fall NYC vibes and classical music and cozy bearded Phil <3

Scent of a Woman (1992)

Cold Mountain (2003)

(SOAW and Cold Mountain 🤝 being PSH movies that are so fucking long but very autumnal and Phil's character is a little shit who has like three scenes but his hair is really red and he's beautiful)

Next Stop Wonderland (1998) pretty sure this takes place during fall in Boston?? It is fall to me

The Ides of March (2011), technically not very autumnal, it takes place during the primaries in the spring, but *I* watch it every year around Election Day soooo

Red Dragon (2003) and My Boyfriend's Back (1993) good Halloween movies 🎃👻

🍲 🥮 🍙

Thank you for the ask @caesarflickermans!

🍲 When did you start writing and why?

I reread (and reread and reread) The Hunger Games about a year ago and fell into fanfiction and fandom, joined tumblr, and then eventually deluded myself into believing I could do it too… so I guess it was the natural progression?

Before that I hadn’t written anything since I was a camp councilor at a summer writing camp in college.

🥮 Do you have any writing milestones you're working toward?

Hmm. I’ll be excited to finish a multi chapter WIP. But again, I’m new here, so I don’t know…

🍙 Is there a fic you wish had gotten more attention?

Lost Girl is the origin of the Finnick and Katniss friendship from Finnick’s POV within The Odds universe. It is (correctly) not tagged as Everlark and I think because of that it gets the least attention of the series 🤷🏼‍♀️

[thegoddessprose]

two different universes? do tell! 👀

The simple answer is that I like to think that your and my stuff take place on completely different timelines (Like, Virgilia and Chiasa pretty obviously don't exist on the same plane) Really, that's just how I view stuff that contradicts canon too much and my own fanon. I have this mindset to avoid silly arguments and such so we can all coexist peacefully 😁

The universe thing is also kind of an inside joke with myself because I kinda do have a THG Literary Fanfic Universe in my head. Most of my OCs are connected in some way, be it blood relations or otherwise. Like, for example, I have a fic on AO3 where Chiasa's father gets involved with Tigris (No, she's not her mother... Her mother is a whole other story entirely and also a friend of Tigris) and as I've stated in my fic, Chiasa has a nephew named Marcus who becomes a protege of Plutarch's. I'd get into more of it, but we'd be here all day 😅

"You love me. Real or not real?"

Thank you to you beautiful polygots who responded to my post yesterday about the meaning/connotation of the word "love" at the end of Mockingjay in the non-English language you speak. Here is a compiled list of what tumblr shared:

German: "just directly translated from love to liebe ("du liebst mich?"), but that carries a romantic connotation here because Germans are more particular in differentiating between lieben/love and mögen/like. if it had been platonic or ambiguous, peeta would've asked "du magst mich?"" -- @caesarflickermans

Spanish: "Love is Amar, conjugated to amas...

-"Me amas ¿Real o no real?" Y yo respondo: -Real

In Spanish, we can say “te quiero”which means I like you. But when you say “te amo” it comes from the soul & when you say ámame it means love me or desire me. So when he asked her, do you love me? He’s also asking do you desire me?" @mega-aulover

Serbian: "the "you love me real not real" is "волиш ли ме. истина или неистина" which is pretty much a direct translation of the original sentence → волиш = love." @sanjarka

Greek: "In Greek, the word αγάπη is a direct transaction. However, it could have also been translated to έρωτας. Έρωτας is more of the first love, where you romanticise anything about the person (like eyelashes, a totally random example). Αγάπη can also be used for family members or in general platonic love. Έρωτας is always about extreme romantic love. Sometimes we even call s*x έρωτα. In general, the words are similar but for me the word they used means deeper, actual love." @fantasy-nerdddd

Italian: "In Italian I think it was “mi ami?”. The verb “Amare” basically has a romantic connotation and is used especially for deeper connections. You could use “ti amo” with your parents/children/siblings or even with a really dear friend, but in general to say “ti amo” to someone you’re in a relationship with is a really important thing." @laurasblogs-stuff

Portuguese: the ''you love me real or not real'' is romantic yes @everdares (go read the rest of their tags for some translation fun lol)

All I can say is, the translators understood the assignment better than the filmmakers.
