#triangle game

[barkingbarghest]

Ran a new TTRPG for some friends yesterday and it was a blast! We were playing a game called Triangle Agency, one of the pre-written adventures. I had been anxious about it because I went a little hog wild, writing an entire opening narrative, cuing up soundscapes and music for nearly every location, writing a fake newspaper and printing it out as a prop... My friends gave me such a huge gift with their participation, and also the memory of the first real scene:

Imagine, if you will, four office workers sent into the field together for the first time. They go to an overgrown vacant lot in a scrubby neighborhood of an underdeveloped suburb, to investigate someone's death (body not present), and as they get out of the car... one of them stands in the field and sniffs the air, another scoops up some dirt and licks it, and a third fully gets down on the ground and puts his nose to the dirt. Poor Ivy, the last employee, is just left standing there watching her coworkers sniffing and licking stuff. She's probably re-evaluating her opinion of her coworkers.

porn and smut novels have genuinely ruined some of your guys’ perception of love because what the fuck do you mean katniss and peeta had no chemistry together? what do you MEAN their relationship came out of nowhere?

peeta was one of the first people to give katniss real hope! he gave her the bread because he is a genuinely kind person and would have done it for anyone, but also because he had a massive crush on her and literally yearned for like ten years! katniss showed the same love for him when she stuck by him even when all the rebels thought he was a traitor! she begged haymitch to save him over her!

even when she’s pretending to be in love with him so they can survive she still finds herself enjoying his company and likes to be with him because their romantic relationship is built first and foremost on their FRIENDSHIP. they understand each other like no one else does, and saying it’s trauma bonding is literally insane because peeta is the one who says “okay, maybe this whole lovers thing is driving a wedge between us and we should be friends before we consider how we actually feel about each other” and KATNISS is the one to initiate the kiss on the beach!

like not every ship has to be based on sexual chemistry or an immediate rapport. real relationships take time to build. katniss and peeta were constantly reevaluating their feelings and wondering how much of it was really just a show but they always ALWAYS loved each other in some capacity.

also the choice between gale and peeta is completely necessary. it’s not just some lovestruck teenage girl choosing a boyfriend, it’s the symbol of a revolution who’s been traumatized by war trying to choose if she wants to choose peace or war. peeta is the dandelion in the spring! katniss is his north star! everlark is canon and married with children!

IDK guys, I know everyone loves a wild and wooly Bill Cipher making intestines into party streamers, being a crazy violent murder clown 24/7 but um... the Pines are kinda already there.

They are intense.

Like wow.

Bill just wants to kick back and relax, host a party, jeez you Pines are so extra all the time, it's exhausting.

Can we please have a cuppa and chill out for five seconds wowzers.

Don't call them "Car-a". Don't do it, I know it's very tempting but they're operating a highly powerful motor vehicle it would be an unwise decision. See ya tomorrow!

✧˖*°࿐ triangle guard!recruiter/gong-yoo x triangle guard reader

a silent sigh leaves you as you put your gun back in your locker and shut it. the void black number 13 on the metal staring down at you. you stare back at it through your triangle mask before turning to your left to face front.

you can feel him staring at you. you always can. his stare holds weight. he’s out of line, not in his proper place. that’s unusual. you ignore it as you and the other guards begin walking down the hallway to your rooms. you stop at the 13th door, pulling out your key and inserting it into the lock.

a muffled sound comes out of your mouth before you can realize what’s happening. you’re roughly grabbed and pushed into your room. you’re pushed against the closet and the door is kicked shut and locked.

“one.” you say as calmly as you can through your teeth as you watch him. he glances at the room’s camera before removing his mask. his hair slightly disheveled when he takes it off. unusual. he’s always pristine and perfect, in his shots, in his steps.

“thirteen,” he replies. “i couldn’t help but notice something lately. something i think we should talk about..”

you feel your heart sink slightly. you knew what he was talking about. you knew he’d noticed. “im under no obligation to confer with you.” you respond, keeping your cool but the small room almost makes tension hug you tighter.

“would you rather speak with me or the boss? which one of us do you think is more likely to kill you?” he retorts calmly, typical. you swallow silently. when you don’t answer, he reaches up to unzip your hood. you grab his wrist, stopping him. “i want you to look at me when we’re speaking.” he says as he forces the zipper down just enough for him to grab your mask.

“i am looking at you.” you say while backing away from him and pushing at his hands simultaneously. you grunt as your legs hit your bed and you fall backwards. you’re pinned when he climbs on top of you, sitting at your hips.

“one!” you groan through a heavy breath in defiance when he tears your mask off and tugs your first layer down. revealing your narrow but worried eyes. he grips your throat and forces your head straight.

“you haven’t been killing the losers.” he states with a sick grin as he forces you to stare into his eyes. sophisticated but psycho.

“what’re you talking about?” you hiss in false confusion.

“you know exactly what im talking about,” he says a little harsher, tightening his grip on you. “you’re not going soft, are you?” he asks with a tilt of his head.

“i’ve gunned down everyone of those players that i was supposed to.” you argue.

“423, 107, 124, 261,” he lists. “four pawns you looked straight in the face after they loss and let live. i’ve had to clean up your mess. you know what that means?” he questions.

you let out a shaky breath at the implication. “aww,” he coos mockingly with a fake pout. “don’t get frightened now.”

you jolt slightly when he suddenly turns serious and lean down to you. all the while his gloved hand tugs you up by your throat. “kill the losers or we’ll play our own game. and i promise you won’t win.” he threatens. “understood?” he then asks innocently.

“understood,” you mumble with you’re very little breath.

“good,” he responds with a smile. he presses his lips to yours, taking the last of your depleting breath. finally, he releases you, leaving you heaving for air. “get some rest.” he adds before standing up and exiting the room.

I love how Suzanne Collins made a point to include everlark lore in SOTR, (Burdock saving Otho's life during the reaping), and specifically did not mention a single Hawthorne in the whole book. She definitively said "Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark are soul mates!!"

[navarice]

no because what was with the division between team gale and team peeta back when the books/movies released anyway? movies I understand, they made a compelling case for gale by erasing 70% of peeta’s loving nature but the BOOKS? miss katniss everdeen herself can only spare a few paragraphs over the thought of gale (usually accompanied by some other external factor like the rebellion or the thought of her mom and prim) but for peeta??? miss girl went on for pages and pages about his hair, eyes, eyelashes, sturdy and strong body, his comforting presence, his concentrated face, his wit, his humor, his ability to draw in the crowd, his ability to clear out the competition with his words alone, how she never has nightmares when she’s with him, how selfless he is, how artistic he is, how good his bread is, how creative he is, how much better he is than her, how much she HUNGERS for his kisses (and more), how willing she is to kill both of them off to save each other from torture, and how she could never live on if he died. she’d become like haymitch. like miss girl peeta was your Lenore dove since day 1 come the fuck ON. Get outta here w team gale.

“Sejanus is like Katniss!” “he’s just like peeta!”

What if I said he was like Gale?

Their blind loyalty their districts. Their rash nature, fuelled by their anger at the injustice the people of their home face. Their strong sense of morality, their eagerness to save the people of their district. Their hatred for the games, and their trust in their friend counterparts.

I’ve seen posts comparing Katniss to Snow, and Peeta to Lucy. In this case, Gale representing Sejanus makes so much sense.

Gale is Katniss’ friend from home. Katniss partakes in the games, but Gale doesn’t get the chance to- like how Sejanus’ tribute Marcus died from default. Katniss feels as though she owes Gale her love, and the way Snow treated Sejanus was all from pity. Artificial love, although Snow and Katniss are set so far apart that Katniss still loved Gale, but as a brother.

Something sets all of the characters apart from their counter character. For Katniss, she was forced to become a hunter when Snow was one at heart. For Peeta, he was forced to put his true feelings forward to perform, when it was Lucy Gray’s passion.

For Gale and Sejanus, I think it’s their sense of morality. Gale is who Sejanus would’ve been if he had no room to act out, had no trust fund to protect his outbursts. Gale is Sejanus after years of oppression, the pride and protection for his home becoming almost toxic. Sejanus is Gale with a chance to change the things around him - a boy with hope, refusing to play by the Capitols games.

If Sejanus had lived, he could’ve become a version of Gale, who in war would risk the lives of hundreds of innocent people from the Capitol. Perhaps Sejanus is the version of Gale who would’ve run away with Katniss before her reaping. Hung and punished, before their urge to help people turned fatal for others. Still morally good.
