Tons of easter eggs in this one! Click the image to find them (and for better quality ofc)

the hunger games has been my roman empire since i read when it when i was 10 and here are all of my smaller empires bc this has always been my favourite series ever:

the tributes being treated to a life of luxury both as a “last meal” sort of thing and as a way to make them more vulnerable for the games. keeping them well fed before the games so the starvation hits harder

peeta repeatedly calling himself a mutt after katniss does :(

katniss’ ptsd

katniss being such an unreliable narrator

when cato realised he’s just as much of a toy as the rest of the kids

when gale says he should’ve volunteered in peeta’s place. NOT for peeta, not to save him the trauma, the injuries or his torture, and not to save katniss and to be there for her, PURELY bc he knew that getting hurt would get her attention.

GALE GETTING MAD AT KATNISS FOR KISSING SOMEONE TO STAY ALIVE. EVEN 10 YEAR OLD ME WAS LIKE ??

peeta’s “real or not real” and how easily katniss accepts it as his way of recovery

how perfect katniss’ character was. i was a little girl and i wanted to be exactly like her when i grew up. she wasn’t the cliche “doesn’t need anyone accepts this specific guy that will always save her” she saved peeta, and some times peeta saves her

probably the overdramatic english lit nerd in me but katniss’ hair going from intricate braids to messy ponytails

(tw sex assault) in the books katniss was terrified that peeta was going to be r&ped, for some reason that’s always stuck with me

what happened to finnick

how well written and realistic the books were. peeta loses his leg to the infection, katniss loses her hearing in one ear, finnick suffers from extreme ptsd and it shows in district 13, peeta not being an easy fix. he still suffers years later, but he slowly pieces himself back together. Johanna’s anger, people often don’t like the fact that ptsd DOES make you angry, haymitch’s backstory and effie’s growth.

the mutt’s have the dead kids eyes in the first games

Your cat is just the void personified I love him

HE IS!!

[sincerelyrf]

thinking about Vax getting to learn how to shake off some of the decades of stoicism and service and learning how to be silly again. the first time he plays a prank on grog again. giving all his nieces and nephews nicknames. teasing vex about getting old. knowing he still serves but he doesn't have to be of service all the time. he also gets to live.

The GIW did it!

So! Danny gets captured by the GIW, gets experimented on for a bit, and breaks out.

He manages to get home, but in his rush he accidently de-transforms before checking that the coast was clear and his Parents see his Ghost Form. Before he can turn invisible or fly to run away, his parents charge at him and Hig him tightly.

They start crying and hugging him, just happy that is is back.

Oh yeah, he had gone missing for a full week with no explanation...

Eventually his parents calm down and Danny is forced to explain everything, but in a Classic Fenton Misunderstanding, when Danny explains that he had been taken by the GIW, his parent instantly assume the GIW was the ones to turn him into a Ghost.

Before Danny can correct them, they are already rushing into their Lab to plan out their takedown of the GIW and all their affiliates.

Well, that works, he guesses...?

Oh will they just not interact for like story reasons or is there a different reason ? Sorry for sounding invasive, but I just want to make sure I'm not about to inter a problematic space ^.^

youre all good dw! yeah its a mix of story and personal reasons

[rainyfey]

Okarun with this turbo form is absolutely begging for the trope of “character loses themself as a rampaging monstrous beast and has to be stopped by their beloved one who do their best to reach out to the out of control character to bring back to their senses through the power of bond that they have together” like I’m surprised that dandadan haven’t done that trope given Okarun’s spiel in beginning of how he’ll become into a monster for Momo

Anon, I agree completely 💖 (link to the turbo form mentioned, for the curious)

I can't predict what will happen in the anime/manga (it's such a wild ride haha!) but I do hope they give Okarun more chances to go wild/creature mode, whatever that might look like. ^^

For now, thank you for your patience as I mulled over this concept. Happy Valentines Day! Hope this drawing captures those feelings somewhat ✨

"You're ok. We're ok."

edit: now with a part 2.

You know what fucks me up but also makes my heart sing?

The fact Shen Jiu The Person™, living breathing and being is nowhere in the canon. We know of a Shen Jiu in the novel and all the character information is gleaned off anecdotes, author's notes and second hand reports, reactions of others to him and their perception of him.

We got what Shen Yuan's thoughts are on him (The scummiest villain to scum), we got Airplane's scraped backstory for him (erased and forgotten), we got reactions from other peak lords to the before and after in SQQ's behaviour and their limited interactions. We even get Luo Binghe's gratefulness for the 180 personality shift. That's all in reaction to ripples to Shen Yuan's presence and is again filtered through his biases.

The closest we could get to a real portrayal of Shen Jiu would have been from Yue Qingyuan but that man would not speak of what SQQ would not bring up himself. And it will still just be a portrait, very much flawed and altered.

He is the one character we will never truly meet.

All of those are outside of Shen Jiu. We never actually see him, only glimpses of him through others.

There's no Shen Jiu in the canon. He doesn't just show up in the novels, not even for a scene. (Even og Bing-ge does what the hell). Point being, Shen Jiu was whatever people saw him as and as what changed, even us readers.

But here's the kicker

We ourselves participate in building him anew from love and that makes me so feral

We as a fandom decided to make him whole, beyond the canon, because we saw those crumbs and said, no, he's more than that, he's a person, he deserves a voice that's his own and we will write to give him it and we will make him whole rather than the sum of others' perception of him.

(I might not make sense but tldr, Shen Jiu doesn't ever show up in the novels and he still got people who love him enough to create for him makes me so weak)

Getting a suspicion this book isn't very good

Lightlark3 is somehow. How do I put this. Worse. The prose is really, really bad, and Aster operates on a baseline of having 'pretty bad prose'

Gee, I wonder if writing and releasing skyshade, plus writing her new adult book, plus a new bonus lightlark book and the 4th due next year... might be resulting in even less editing?

What in the world was Dan talking about when he said he taught Mercedes how to use Twitter in the pre show? It was during the question about favorite F1 boss

yee in 2014 he got invited by mercedes to tour the factory and chat with them about starting their social media accounts because mercedes noticed dan followed/tweeted at them (9:55)

original tumblr post(x)

and then in 2018 when dnp were in singapore mercedes got them backstage passes to the grand prix (15:33) where phil asked valtteri bottas if he was good at mario kart

instastories from that day (x)
