Omg you read it? I’m so glad you liked it!! I’ve had an almost finished chapter on the shelf for a couple of months now but I wanna write one or two others before I post it and I just haven’t really gotten to it? I guess?

The next chapters coming out are a Star Wars fic I co-author and The Losing Battle (TreeMina focused fic), but I’ll try to continue writing on Didn’t Think I’d Care too since you seem to enjoy it 😂

Nobody asked but I wanna weigh in on the "did Jinu wear Rumi's bracelet or not?" debate for fun (and also because me and a coworker were talking about it recently and I wanted to type out my useless thoughts on the newest thing I like). Here's my two cents:

It may not look like the bracelet, but that could easily be explained by the angle of it. The charm is small enough it could easily just be hidden behind his wrist. To me, the biggest evidence that the bracelet he's wearing is the one Rumi gave him is that he's wearing any bracelet at all.

As someone who likes to draw, details don't just pop up out of nowhere. That line around his wrist didn't get in there on accident, someone had to make the active decision to include it, and when it comes to scene backgrounds it doesn't have to mean much, but when it comes to character designs it's a different story. Those designs are made way at the start, and they're usually pretty static throughout the whole medium they appear in. Characters don't randomly get a new hairstyle and usually keep to a certain outfit or style that fits their character.

Like I said, this isn't a live action show where the actor might've decided not to take off their jewelry that day and no one spotted it in time to tell them to take it off. This was drawn by the animators, who had to make the active decision to include that bracelet for it to be there. The only bracelet Jinu is ever shown to have is the one Rumi gave him, so the fact that there is in fact a bracelet around his wrist signals to me that it's probably Rumi's, even if it doesn't look like it. I cannot think of any logical reason why an animator would decide to have him wear a bracelet if it isn't the one Rumi gave him. I could be wrong, obviously, but that's just how I see it lmao.

When you worked so much in two months you can afford another year of uni at the low low cost of two nosebleeds at work, one night of 6 nosebleeds in a row, and several full body shut downs ✨💜

Thinking about Chris and his thoughts on Luke. His big brother, who he trusted and loved and supported, only for that same brother to send him on a suicide mission that drove him insane. Thinking about how betrayed he must’ve felt, having joined a war with him on the promise of a better life only to be used like a disposable pawn.

Thinking about Luke, sending his little brother into the labyrinth and never even finding out if he made it out alive or not.

There’s something beautifully tragic to me about a pair of doomed lovers where one does everything to make the other happy, except they never can because they know their love can only be happy in a world where they’re apart. They want to be together, but neither can live in the world the other wants. In order to be happy, they’d have to let each other go, and that’s the one thing they know they’ll never do. They’ll give up all their time, energy, money, everything they have for the other, as long as they’ll stay.

They’d do anything to make their love happy, except for the only thing that could.

I feel like, in a superhero AU, Coriolanus could be a good Lex Luthor. An utterly pathetic one, but still. He’s Lex Luthor if Lex Luthor couldn’t handle breakups and was just a little more… loser-like. He keeps a good political standing and manages to run a very successful business, but he’s been crashing out for years because a super hot superhero (Lucy Gray) from one of the best hero teams in the world (Covey) broke up with him when she realized he’s actually a little bitch who can’t get his shit together and she deserves better than that.

One day, inevitably, his supervillain dealings get exposed to the public and everything he has crumbles around him, and instead of realizing he should maybe consider a different career path he continues the crashout and vows to take down the Covey and rule the world!! Now if only that hero team and their pesky hero friends would stop ruining his plans at every turn!! Don’t they know he was born to win?

Spoilers: he never wins. He keeps losing. Every. Single. Time.

Before I answer to the several tags I’ve gotten I have. A new AU. Because I have a resit in 8 hours and my brain has decided this is the night to Not Sleep.

In the movie, the enclosure has this weird rock thing at the back through which the tributes were thrown into the zoo, right? Well I’m sure some tributes have experience climbing walls! Treech and Lamina, of course, but maybe also those from more urban landscapes like Bobbin, Teslee and Circ because they might have climbed buildings before. It looks like the wall is part of the enclosure wall, so the five of them use the wall to just… climb over the bars of the enclosure and get out. Easy peasy. They could use some elaborate ploy to get the keys and take out the peacekeepers and erase the footage to disappear like ghosts, but they could also just tie their clothes together for a makeshift rope and help everyone else climb onto the rock wall that way. Looks like the peacekeepers were mostly guarding the gate anyway, so two of the tributes sneak past the one dude stationed there (which is disrespectfully easy) and make some suspicious noises to distract him while the others pass him.

And then they’re gone. Just gone. Only half of the cameras in their path picked up any footage of them, but that doesn’t matter because nobody checks that footage until it’s already too late and they’ve left the zoo. Now what?

Nothing, that’s what. The tributes aren’t even in the city anymore, they stole food for a week and started hiking, what’re you gonna do? Follow them into the forest? Nah, that’s their territory for over half of them, lets not fight them on their home turf. It’s not worth it, the games were a waste of tax dollars anyway

TBOSAS fix it AU where the bombs go off during the mentors only arena tour instead of the mentors and tributes tour, and the mentors are stuck in the arena. They were extremely lucky, as rubble and debris fell around and over them in a way that created a small “chamber” that will hold for now. The Capitol tries to get them out, but due to the severely damaged structure of the arena anything they do risks making the entire thing collapse onto the mentors completely. They need people specialized in building structure and stability or cave rescue to do this, which means people from the districts. Especially District 2, for their masonry expertise, and District 1 and 12 for their mining experience which has left them with knowledge on how to handle rescued in unstable environments after mining accidents like cave ins. These districts are initially pissed off that they are being forced to help the Capitol save their snobby, useless children from the place where their own, wonderful, innocent children will be forced to kill each other in a few days, but then they realize something.

The Capitol cannot save these mentors without their help.

They need the districts.

This is their chance

They all separately decide to refuse to send people to get the mentors out until the Capitol sends their children home and officially dissolve the games. Sadly, the Capitol refuses. They decide to try and solve the problem themselves. A week later, they have made no progress, and the mentors are starving. They’ve had to drink the water the Capitol has been dropping onto the roof, which seeps through the cracks and spills down to the ground. It gives them an intimate understanding of how the tributes must feel during the games, only they don’t have to kill each other. At least they have the privilege of knowing help is coming.

Some of the tributes begin to feel a little bad for their mentors and volunteer to get some kind of food to them. Treech, Lamina, Wovey, Mizzen, and Sheaf can slip through the debris blocking the entrance far enough to shove liquid nutrients through the cracks without risking a collapse of the whole thing, which would kill the mentors. They take this opportunity to eat some of the packs and hide a few more in their pockets for the other tributes, but they do give the mentors a few of the packs. It’s… surprisingly kind of them, and it makes the Capitol people consider if maybe they should just go along with the districts’ demands to bring their kids home. By the time they finally accept the districts’ demands, the districts aren’t satisfied anymore and demand the peacekeeper bases be emptied out, and all the supplies be left to the districts, in all districts, to ensure they won’t just go ahead and drag the kids back to the Capitol for the games. They want the arena flattened to the ground, and full jurisdiction to decide what will happen to the gamemakers. The Capitol initially refuses, but the families of the mentors demand the Capitol do everything the districts demand so they can get their children home safe. Finally, the president caves to saving his son over listening to the crazy doctor’s demands and gives in to all of the districts’ demands in hopes to get the mentors out.

And… it works. The districts actually keep their end of the deal once the peacekeepers have cleared out and all the districts have their children back. They get the mentors out, most of whom first ask about if their tributes are okay since they couldn’t feed them while stuck in the arena. Surprisingly, most of them are relieved to hear the games have ended, even though that means they can’t fight to have the prize anymore. Most of them even manage to negotiate with the district workers who got them out to be allowed to see their tributes in the districts once in a while.

After that, things are tense but healing. The districts, no longer under threat of being shot by peacekeepers and able to defend their borders again, negotiate better treatment and equal distribution of resources. They no longer let the Capitol rule them the way they did before. But they are open to trading with the Capitol, basically splitting the country into 13 small micro-nations that trade with each other. The Capitol can no longer live in luxury the way they used to now that they can no longer hoard supplies, but they end up finding that it doesn’t ruin their lives the way they thought it would. And the districts are happy with their independence and safety, so it all works out.

Completely totally 100% unrelated to the fics I’m working on I promise…

District wedding thoughts? Anyone? What traditions would individual districts have surrounding weddings that could be thrown in the Capitol’s face to make them finally understand that the districts all have their own cultures and those cultures are cooler than their maximalism?

Thank you I’m gonna get rid of Grandma’am for my fic now :)

I feel like it should be discussed more how the grandma'am played a part in how entitled Coriolanus became. Like people always talk about Dr Gaul 's influence but the grandma'am is the one that installed in Coriolanus his sense of specialty and importance to the point that he was convinced that he automatically deserved all that is good in the world also she should be held accountable for the fact that Tigris took on all the responsibility by herself entirely while Coriolanus didn't have to do anything other than his school work like this instuled in him the feeling that other people exist only to serve him and fulfil his needs and it definitely must have led to Tigris having self hatred issues
