DOVECOTE LORE

'Crash Course' Edition

Decided to do a little compilation of the various generations of Dovecotes floating around all in one post. Only of the important ones of course haha

Starting from the very past...

FIC feature: nitimur in vetitum, semper cupimusque negata

Set in the time when Panem was founded, there is Sibyl, Tiresias and his daughter Caelestis. While Caelestis is a toddler by the end of the fic, the picture on the right was what events I imagined her life underwent down the line.

FIC feature: causa latet, vis est notissima, and they get a one off line in the longer time-travelling clemmie fic

I never got around to specifying what generation they'd be in. But if I had to put one down, probably sometime after the founders and quite a few generations before Andromeda (Capitol Catacombs).

FIC feature: everything I know about love (is because of you) Although Ludius & Anise do also make their appearances here and there in other fics.

Generation Capitol Catacombs: Andromeda & Jove Generation Capitol Crypt: Ludius & Anise

For reference, Andromeda & Jove would be Hector's grandparents, while Ludius & Anise are Hector's parents.

FIC features: Hector and Cleopatra both have quite a few appearances in various fics, but some of my favourites...

What Is This Feeling?

What's In A Name?

The Adventures of Little Miss Dovecote

Generation Geriatric Ward -> for reference, the mentor's grandparents would fall in this generation

FIC feature: Like with Hector and Cleopatra, Endymion and Aelia make an appearance in quite a few fics. But some favourites fics where Clemensia's parents appear...

sic semper tyrannis

Aut Viam Invendiam Aut Faciam

This disability pride month I'm BEGGING you to acknowledge and care about the people in this community who often fly under the radar when it comes to positivity and information. People who require equipment to live, like ventilators, pacemakers, and feeding tubes. People who are bedbound. People with visible differences. People who have disabilities caused by things like substance abuse, overdose, or self harm. People with conditions so rare that they've never met someone who has the same one. People who need full time care and have to have help to use social media.

If you want to support the community, that means supporting all of the community. Disability pride means being proud of every last one of us, and making sure everyone feels heard. Make sure to amplify the voices of those who need it this month, and ideally for the rest of the year too.

Do you think District 8 fumes give you a high, or are they just full of carcinogens

Do you think they have panem legos?

Maybe Dr. Gaul was obsessed with supernatural creatures as a child and devoted her life to making them a reality.

Ok so, I just remembered how people in the comments of a tiktok video were being assholes, and I want to rant now :3

The video showed two wheelchair users at a train(?), who had just arrived to their stop to find nobody was there with a ramp so they could leave the train. One of them blocked the door so it wouldn't close, and this lasted for 15 minutes. The train was stopped for said 15 minutes. There was a button by the door, that said that it'd contact the driver when pressed. It didn't. People offered to go find the driver, and they came back with the news that there were no people in the platform to put the ramp. In the end, passengers had to go out, and place the ramp themselves, before the train could carry on. The wheelchair users had warned they were coming, and asked to have the ramp put there so they could get down. The platform turned out to have workers, they all just ran away because they'd never encountered the situation in which they needed to do this simple task.

Because of the workers' negligence, the train was forced to stop for 15 minutes.

Everyone's comments?

"Why did they block the doors and stop the train? So selfish" Selfish were workers who refused to do their job.

"What if someone had needed to get to their stop urgently? They shouldn't have stopped the train" It wasn't the disabled people's fault, it was the workers who were negligent.

"Why didn't they just wheel themselves down those steps?" They shouldn't have to risk their (expensive) chairs just because people didn't do what they were paid to do.

"If I had been in that train I would've been pissed, how dare you stop it" And you probably wouldn't have even thought about fixing the problem yourself, would you?

"Entitled assholes" Ok I'll leave you stranded in a train with everyone who could help you get down outright refusing to. Let's see who's an entitled asshole now.

If someone fights for accessibility, as much as it might be a bother for you, you do not have the right to be mad at them. If someone fights for accessibility, it is exclusively the fault of a world catered exclusively for able-bodied people.

So next time you think, "hey the consequences of these disabled people fighting for their rights bother me", instead of blaming them for this, help them solve the issue. This way, next time they will not have to fight at all.

Able bodied people, go out and fight for a fucking accessible world if you're not an asshole.
