Travel Destination: Argentina

Thirst by Marina Yuszczuk

It is the twilight of Europe’s bloody bacchanals, of murder and feasting without end. In the nineteenth century, a vampire arrives from Europe to the coast of Buenos Aires and, for the second time in her life, watches as villages transform into a cosmopolitan city, one that will soon be ravaged by yellow fever. She must adapt, intermingle with humans, and be discreet.

In present-day Buenos Aires, a woman finds herself at an impasse as she grapples with her mother's terminal illness and her own relationship with motherhood. When she first encounters the vampire in a cemetery, something ignites within the two women—and they cross a threshold from which there’s no turning back.

The Gods of Tango by Caro De Robertis

Set in 1913, 17 year old Leda, clutching a suitcase and her father’s cherished violin, leaves her small Italian village for a new home (and husband) halfway across the world in Argentina. Upon her arrival in Buenos Aires, Leda is shocked to find that her bridegroom has been killed. Unable to fathom the idea of returning home, she remains in this unfamiliar city, living in a commune, without friends or family, on the brink of destitution. She finally acts on a passion she has kept secret for years, mastering the violin.

When You Open Your Eyes by Celeste Conway

Tessa's head over heels for Lucien, the son of a French diplomat. Sexy, artistic, and daring, he brings out a completely new side of her. With him, Tessa feels beautiful and exotic. So when Tessa's strict father forbids her to see Lucien, she's determined to keep their relationship a secret.

But as Tessa gets caught up in Lucien, he becomes increasingly volatile. What she once found alluring about him now feels alarming. Tessa must figure out how far she'll go for Lucien before she risks losing not just him, but everything she loves.

Eartheater by Dolores Reyes

Set in an unnamed slum in contemporary Argentina, Eartheater is the story of a young woman who finds herself drawn to eating the earth, a compulsion that gives her visions of broken and lost lives. With her first taste of dirt, she learns the horrifying truth of her mother's death. Disturbed by what she witnesses, the woman keeps her visions to herself.

But when Eartheater begins an unlikely relationship with a withdrawn police officer, word of her ability begins to spread, and soon desperate members of her community beg for her help, anxious to uncover the truth about their own loved ones.

The Tenth Girl by Sara Faring

A haunted Argentinian mansion. A family curse. A twist you'll never see coming.

Welcome to Vaccaro School, an isolated finishing school that is rumour to be cursed.

Mavi tries to embrace the strangeness of the imposing house, despite warnings not to roam at night, threats from an enigmatic young man, and rumors of mysterious Others. But one of Mavi's ten students is missing, and when students and teachers alike begin to behave as if possessed, the forces haunting this unholy cliff will no longer be ignored... and one of these spirits holds a secret that could unravel Mavi's existence.

DMBR - The Dragon's Grimoire: A Guide to Draconian Magick by Celeste Silverbrook

So here's one problem from the start: while some people have a different understanding of terms, in the contemporary magical community, Draconian magic is generally understood to be a left-hand, infernal path related to Luciferianism which may or may not include dragons in one form or another (at least this is what I've seen explained; I am not an expert nor do I walk that path). This is not that.

What this *is*, however, is another possibly AI-written guide (with obvious AI-generated cover) that gives a vague and generic overview of dragon magic. While it doesn't name Conway's elemental rulers, the types of dragons are pretty much the same and while the blurb on ethical considerations isn't word for word exactly the same as that found in Nichole Callaghan’s The Dragon Witch, it is identical in spirit (I had the strongest sense of deja vu when reading it). The spells it gives are so-so, largely meditations and visualizations. It frequently mentions dragon symbols/sigils, but never gives any explanations or visuals of what those symbols actually are. There's also handwave-y allusions to supposed ancient draconic texts here and there, but boy howdy, I've yet to hear of any prior to the 1980’s.

+Fun fact! In the middle of writing this review I've found that this book, and all others by this author, are no longer on Amazon! So why in the fuck is this still in my Kindle library? *shrug* I imagine it was reported for being AI, which if so, good riddance. You can still find these works listed on a few other sites like thriftbooks and Google books, so be careful out there.

How “blue” and “green” appeared in a language that didn’t have words for them

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/how-blue-and-green-appeared-in-a-language-that-didnt-have-words-for-them/

How “blue” and “green” appeared in a language that didn’t have words for them

The human eye can perceive about 1 million colors, but languages have far fewer words to describe those colors. So-called basic color terms, single color words used frequently by speakers of a given language, are often employed to gauge how languages differ in their handling of color. Languages spoken in industrialized nations such as the United States, for example, tend to have about a dozen basic color terms, while languages spoken by more isolated populations often have fewer.

However, the way that a language divides up color space can be influenced by contact with other languages, according to a new study from MIT.

Among members of the Tsimane’ society, who live in a remote part of the Bolivian Amazon rainforest, the researchers found that those who had learned Spanish as a second language began to classify colors into more words, making color distinctions that are not commonly used by Tsimane’ who are monolingual.

In the most striking finding, Tsimane’ who were bilingual began using two different words to describe blue and green, which monolingual Tsimane’ speakers do not typically do. And, instead of borrowing Spanish words for blue and green, they repurposed words from their own language to describe those colors.

“Learning a second language enables you to understand these concepts that you didn’t have in your first language,” says Edward Gibson, an MIT professor of brain and cognitive sciences and the senior author of the study. “What’s also interesting is they used their own Tsimane’ terms to start dividing up the color space more like Spanish does.”

The researchers also found that the bilingual Tsimane’ became more precise in describing colors such as yellow and red, which monolingual speakers tend to use to encompass many shades beyond what a Spanish or English speaker would include.

“It’s a great example of one of the main benefits of learning a second language, which is that you open a different worldview and different concepts that then you can import to your native language,” says Saima Malik-Moraleda, a graduate student in the Speech and Hearing Bioscience and Technology Program at Harvard University and the lead author of the study.

Kyle Mahowald, an assistant professor of linguistics at the University of Texas at Austin, and Bevil Conway, a senior investigator at the National Eye Institute, are also authors of the paper, which appears this week in Psychological Science.

Dividing up the color space

In English and many other languages of industrialized nations, there are basic color words corresponding to black, white, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown, pink, and gray. South American Spanish additionally divides the blue space into light blue (“celeste”) and dark blue (“azul”).

Members of Tsimane’ society consistently use only three color words, which correspond to black, white, and red. There are also a handful of words that encompass many shades of yellow or brown, as well as two words that are used interchangeably to mean either green or blue. However, these words are not used by everyone in the population.

Several years ago, Gibson and others reported that in a study of more than 100 languages, including Tsimane’, speakers tend to divide the “warm” part of the color spectrum into more color words than the “cooler” regions, which include blue and green. In the Tsimane’ language, two words, “shandyes” and “yushñus,” are used interchangeably for any hue that falls within blue or green.

As a follow-up to that study, Malik-Moraleda wanted to explore whether learning a second language would have any effect on how the Tsimane’ use color words. Today, many Tsimane’ learn Bolivian Spanish as a second language.

Working with monolingual and bilingual members of the Tsimane’, the researchers asked people to perform two different tasks. For the bilingual population, they asked them to do the tasks twice, once in Tsimane’ and once in Spanish.

In the first task, the researchers showed the subjects 84 chips of different colors, one by one, and asked them what word they would use to describe the color. In the second task, the subjects were shown the entire set of chips and asked to group the chips by color word.

The researchers found that when performing this task in Spanish, the bilingual Tsimane’ classified colors into the traditional color words of the Spanish language. Additionally, the bilingual speakers were much more precise about naming colors when they were performed the task in their native language.

“Remarkably, the bilinguals really divide up the space much more than the monolinguals, in spite of the fact that they’re still primarily Tsimane’ speakers,” Gibson says.

Strikingly, the bilingual Tsimane’ also began using separate words for blue and green, even though their native language does not distinguish those colors. Bilingual Tsimane’ speakers began to use “yushñus” exclusively to describe blue, and “shandyes” exclusively to describe green.

Borrowing concepts

The findings suggest that contact between languages can influence how people think about concepts such as color, the researchers say.

“It does seem like the concepts are being borrowed from Spanish,” Gibson says. “The bilingual speakers learn a different way to divide up the color space, which is pretty useful if you’re dealing with the industrialized world. It’s useful to be able to label colors that way, and somehow they import some of that into the Tsimane’ meaning space.”

While the researchers observed that the distinctions between blue and green appeared only in Tsimane’ who had learned Spanish, they say it’s possible that this usage could spread within the population so that monolingual Tsimane’ also start to use it. Another possibility, which they believe is more likely, is that more of the population will become bilingual, as they have more contact with the Spanish-speaking villages nearby.

“Over time, these populations tend to learn whatever the dominant outside language is because it’s valuable for getting jobs where you earn money,” Gibson says.

The researchers now hope to study whether other concepts, such as frames of reference for time, may spread from Spanish to Tsimane’ speakers who become bilingual. Malik-Moraleda also hopes to see if the color language findings from this study could be replicated in other remote populations, specifically, in the Gujjar, a nomadic community living in the Himalayan mountains in Kashmir.

The research was funded by a La Caixa Fellowship, the Dingwall Foundation, the Intramural Research Program of the National Eye Institute, and the National Science Foundation CompCog Program.

Yuletide letter

I am laughingpineapple on AO3  

Hello dear author! I hope you’ll have fun with our match. Feel free to draw from general or fandom-specific likes, past letters, and/or follow your heart.

Likes: worldbuilding, slice of life (especially if the event the fic focuses on is made up but canon-specific), missing moments, 5+1 and similar formats, bonding and emotional support/intimacy, physical intimacy, lingering touches, loyalty, casefic, surrealism, magical realism, established relationships, future fic (when in doubt, tell me what’s happening to them five, ten, twenty years in the future!), hurt/comfort, throwing characters into non-canon environments, banter, functional relationships between dysfunctional individuals, unexplained mysteries, bittersweet moods, journal/epistolary fic, dreams and memories and identities, tropey plots that are already close enough to characters/canon, outsider POV, UST, resolved UST, exploring the ~deep lore, leaning on the uniqueness of the canon setting/mood, found families, characters reuniting after a long and/or harrowing time, friends-to-lovers, road trips, maps, mutual pining, cuddling, wintry moods, the feeling of flannel and other fabrics, ridiculous concepts played entirely straight, sensory details, places being haunted, people being haunted, the mystery of the woods, small hopes in bleak worlds, electricity, places that don’t quite add up, mismatched memories, caves and deep places, distant city lights at night, emphasis on non-human traits of non-human characters (gen-wise, but also a hearty yes xeno for applicable ships), emphasis on inhuman traits of characters who were human once and have sort of shed it all behind

Cool with: any tense, any pov, any rating, plotty, not plotty, IF, unrequested characters popping up.

DNW: non-canonical rape, non-canonical children, focus on children, unrequested ships (background established canon couples are okay, mentions of parents are okay!), canon retellings, consent issues, actual covid (fantasy plagues are okay)

Les Cités Obscures: any

This is a very general “please, anything in the style of canon, just maybe with less thoughtless sexism” request. I want to lose myself in these cities again, and in the strange lands that connect them. I’d be happy to follow any of the known characters and/or OCs, or eschew characters altogether and write about the cities themselves. What caught your imagination in Brüsel, Xhystos, Taxandria, Alaxis...? The history of some cool building that was only marginally featured in one of the stories? Or an OC city! If you’ve got a favourite European city that doesn’t already have its obscure counterpart, please tell me all about it! Go big, go wild! What strange and classically surrealist happenings take place within its walls? Or even... outside Europe... Nerding out about architecture is of course very welcome. I would also love to read a story based on any Schuiten illustration, contextualizing it as if it were part of this ‘verse. Here’s a bunch of them, for example!

Ghost Trick: Cabanela

You know.. him. Dazzlingly OTT, untiring, rock-solid self-esteem, loyal to a fault, following a rhythm of his own, flawless intuition until it fails and it all burns down… him. I just want to see more of him doing stuff! The way he’s chill and open toward new people (like Sissel and Missile in ch15) makes him perfect to throw at most other characters and see how they react to the sparkles… I’d love some focus on how ridiculous his aesthetic is, half Saturday Night Fever half hardboiled detective half bubbly preteen (for a total of 150%) and yet he makes it work. Or how ruthless he can be, possibly for the sake of the people he cares for. The quote “The intimacy of big parties”. Him and Alma in the new timeline bonding over knowing (once Jowd has spilled the beans) but not remembering that terrible timeline. Some tropey scenario on the job. Snark-offs with Pigeon Man, by which I mean PM snarks and it bounces off him like water off a spotless white goose’s back.

Ship-wise it’s only Cabanela/Jowd whenever it’s not infidelity, Cabanela/Alma in what-ifs also if it’s not infidelity and Cabanela/Alma/Jowd for me (and Lynne/Memry and Yomiel/fianSissel on the side). There are a bunch of shippy prompts in all my past letters - I would however reiterate here that Jowd. is. the worst tease. always. Like, just saying, but assume he’s pining big time and Jowd and Alma figure it out - they’d make a national sport out of excruciatingly protracted teasing.

Conversely, Cabanela/Lynne and Cabanela/Yomiel are NOTPs especially from Cabanela’s side. So while I appreciate the thick tension of a good Yomiel VS Cabanela confrontation like everyone and their cat, and also really appreciate a roughed-up Cabanela, and I do love Yomiel in his own right… I don’t want Cabanela being into it. Adrenaline junkie he may be but this hurts and his coat’s a mess and there’s no perfect winning scenario so he hates every second of it. (JOWD being super into Cabanela being roughed up is another matter altogether and he should probably mind his own business. ...incompatible kinks, truly tragic. they’ll have to find some other common ground. they’re smart, resourceful, playful fellows, I’m sure they’ll manage)

Kentucky Route Zero: Donald kentuckyroutezero

I love everyone in the cast, all acts and interludes, and I am extremely into all the themes this incredible work of art ended up exploring. Agreeing with the overall doom and gloom up to Act IV, I was blown away by Act V’s strong affirmation of the importance of the arts and of the bonds we make and of carving up spaces for ourselves in capitalism’s wake. Donald was, indeed, not a part of any of that. Even the final interlude updates us on Lula and mentions Joseph, but the big guy is nowhere to be seen. So, you know, there’s fanfiction! He’s so static, defeated. I am fascinated by the chain of metaphysical spaces that goes surface -> Zero -> Echo -> Dogwood and even within that framework, the hall of the mountain king is like a hopeless dead end. Dude’s terminally stuck. So - once again, in the spirit of transformative works, how could he get... you know... unstuck? Did Lula’s momentous appearance in Act III shake him? Having a functioning Xanadu again, perhaps? How could he interrogate that oracle, what recursive wonders would it show him? If he decides to leave, what does it feel to be on the surface again after so long, or on the river perhaps? Maybe he is forced to leave by the flood, if not this one, the next... Having him meet any other character would be amazing. Past or future time spent with Weaver... seeing Conway again, changed... programmer guy chatting up musician androids... did he know Carrington from his college days or was Carrington only a friend of Lula’s?

As for Lula herself and Joseph too: “Flipping through the pages, Conway is able to gather that it’s a story about three characters: Joseph, Donald, and Lula. It’s something like a tragic love triangle, but much more complex. Some kind of tangled, painfully concave love polygon.” 😔 I ship them as a full triad, if you can nudge them in that direction, good. But I’m very open to non-romantic resolutions as well, going past their messy feelings to find each other as friends after so many years maybe. Or... a start. idk.

I’d be interested in fic that leans on the game’s adjacent genres: wanna go full-on American Gothic? Dip into surrealism? Take a leaf from Twin Peaks with tulpa / split narratives to explore the characters’ issues? I’m also open to AUs, real or through Xanadu. This also feels like a good place to stress that I really, really like caves.

And now for something completely different: FAQ:  The “Snake Fight” Portion of Your Thesis Defense is in the tagset this year. I’d say that the crossover with the snake portion of Here and there along the Echo writes itself, but it would not be correct, as in fact I would like you to write it for me. Feel free to not feature Donald if you focus on this crossover instead!

Uru would be a fun crossover too, for Donald specifically. He’s very DRC-shaped in how he tilts at doomed projects which just so happen to be deep underground.

Pyre: Volfred Sandalwood

This is a Volfred solo, Volfred&literally anyone or Volfred/Tariq, /Oralech or /Tariq/Oralech request. I adore everyone in that Blackwagon+Dalbert+Celeste, so if you want to add a Nightwing or two to any prompt, please do! I also love all the Scribes and find Erisa a compelling tragic figure, while out of the other triumvirates, I’m “love to hate them” for Manley, Brighton, Udmildhe and Deluge and would not like to see them featured in sympathetic roles. fwiw I also enjoy Jodi/Celeste and Bertrude/Pamitha a lot!

I feel deeply for all of Pyre’s main themes - literacy, degrees of freedom, the fragile time that is the end of a historical cycle, nobodies rising up to the occasion, building a better society, and of course found family, “distance cannot separate our spirits” and all that jazz, and Volfred is squarely rooted at the center of all of them. I really really love everything he stands for, even if he’s overbearingly smug in standing for it. Just please tell me things about my fave. His relationship to the Scribes (as a historian, a some kind of vision, via *ae or once he’s a star himself)? A ‘forced vacay’ Downside ending where he looks at the Union from afar and keeps living in this strange transformational place? Life in a cramped Blackwagon that was meant for like 5 people tops and is currently eight Nightwings, a herald and an orb? Since he picked him for the job to begin with, does he respect and cherish Hedwyn as he dang well should? What does it feel like to try and Read a herald? Was he ever in danger, in the Commonwealth or in the Downside? What daring act of resistance did he and Bertrude pull off at some point in their past? It’d be cool if one of his old pamphlets came up at some point. Does he puff up as prime minister because he’s nervous, and who can see past his hyper-professionalism and lend a hand? Please roast him big time about the votes he assigns to the various Nightwings in his planner? What’s his attitude toward the flame’s purification (what with being a tree but mostly like, as a general concept. He did nothing wrong!) (well he definitely said some things wrong and sometimes oftentimes the ego jumps out, but his intentions did nothing wrong)? When did his calculating approach fail him? Something with Pamitha along the lines of that edit that goes “Can we talk, one ten to another?“/"I am an eleven, my girl, but continue”? Dude could easily be voted sexiest voice in the Downside - how much is he aware of it? Does he sing? I love how he bears his ‘reader’ brand proudly. And speaking of scars, I have to wonder, looking at Manley for comparison, if the shape of his head, with that massive crack, isn’t also due to injuries.

As a refrain from my general likes: emphatically yes xeno to both shippy interactions at all ratings and to gen explorations of what a Sap is like… I’d love to read all your headcanons.

Ship-wise, I enjoy him with Tariq as this kind of esoteric connection of minds, guarded words full of secret meanings, long contemplative walks together (is any external pov watching...?), Volfred’s Reader powers brushing against Tariq’s mind and getting weak in the knees at the starlit expanse he finds there, so unlike mortal thoughts. Tariq finds his individuality learning from him; Volfred presumably gets a transcendent glimpse of the Scribes. And I enjoy him with Oralech as pretty much the opposite of that, Oralech is so very mortal compared to him, such a precious, fleeting, burning life especially after his fall. Oralech’s idealism is very dear to me, it was their plan, their shared revolutionary spirit, I find it deeply moving. And I am very interested in seeing them rebuild their connection now that Oralech is back, changed, and in some ways he can learn to let go of his misconceptions and slowly open himself to Volfred’s love again, but in other ways that’s who he is now, with this deep-set anger, and what does it even feel to realize that you’re the symbol of the end of an era (the end of the Rites, the fading of the Scribes). I’m interested in both topside and downside endings for all of them, as long as they end up on the same side, the revolution was peaceful and they don’t angst too much about the side they ended in. Tariq can ‘find his way home’ in the near post-canon somehow or even be summoned again, as a different aspect of the same ‘moonlit vision’ that once inspired Soliam Murr.

Strandbeest: any

https://www.strandbeest.com/

I would just like words to go with these, please and thank you so very much. Worldbuild to your heart’s content! Specifically: I’m fascinated by the premise that the strandbeest are living creatures that evolve and adapt to their ecosystem. A world where life is just wind stomachs and sandy joints, and the tide that can catch you unaware. I would like a story that feels distinctly inorganic. The wonder that is the existence of these creatures. Their unique struggles. Weird and experimental if you like. With a mechanical focus, maybe?

I nominated four critters as a selection of the different cool things they can do - Percipiere Excelsus is huge and has the hammer mechanism, Suspendisse’s tail senses the hardness of the sand, Uminami is my fave caterpillar and the caterpillars overall feel like a new paradigm after a mass extinction event, Ader straight-up flies... but they’re all wonderful. If you want to focus on different strandbeest, please do!

Twin Peaks: Lucy Moran

Case fic but they don’t find out jack shit, someone disappears, David Bowie was there, it’s complicated. Fragmented, shifted, mirrored identities. New Lodge spaces. The risks of staring into the void for too long. Gentle illusions. Transcendence. The moon. Static buzzing. Any title from the s3 ethereal whooshing compilation used as a prompt, actually. Whatever goes on on Blue Pine mountain or the even more mysterious things that go on on White Tail mountain where exactly zero canon locations are found. Twin Peaks is all about the mystery to me, the awe of mystery and unknowability and the human drive to look beyond and the risks of getting a peek, and about shared consciousness and trauma taking physical form in an uncaring world. Go wild with the ethereal whooshing! But I also love the human warmth at the heart of it all, and sometimes it’s enough to anchor these characters and let them have a nice day. A fic entirely focused on some instance of coziness against the cold chaotic background of canon would be great too.

For Lucy specifically, a big draw for me is how canon (...s2 need not apply) empathizes with her way of processing the world. Not just Peaks, but On the Air’s protag who is basically a Lucy expy also gets the narrative completely on her side and that’s great. And I love how in s3, her focus on the small things around her is always echoed by bigger, climactic events beyond her horizon (bunnies / Jack Rabbit’s palace, chair order / Garland’s chair, her first scene talking about the two sheriffs / doubles everywhere...). It feels to me like some kind of off-kilter mindfulness and I love it. She’s also got a loving husband and an amazing son, which, in this economy and also this canon? Damn. The one functional family, imagine that. I am not interested in focus on family dynamics, but singularly, either Lucy/Andy or Lucy&Wally are great - in particular, I’m interested in how strange they are and yet they make it work. With the ruthless critique of traditional family structure that’s all over canon, maybe they make it work specifically because they’re not doing any of that. A bit like the Addams family... but... not goth...? Anyway. I’d love to see Lucy interact with and maybe strike a friendship with any character she’s never shared a scene with in canon! In the tagset, there’s Diane for some secretaries bonding, Audrey because??? why not?, Albert because it’d be an epic enemies to friends slowburn, some version of Laura in the future, if we’re feeling really daring maybe even some version of Coop in the future, still fragmented... or anyone you want! Outside the tagset I’d be curious about Hawk, Margaret and maybe Doris in particular, I think, and Phil, and Nadine and the Invitation to Love fandom in general (Frost says it still airs - did it get as weird as TP s3 did?), but if you have an idea with someone else, absolutely go for it!

Canon-specific DNWs: any singular Dreamer being the ‘source’ of canon, BOB (let alone Judy) being forever defeated in the finale, Judy being an active malevolent presence in the characters’ lives, clear explanations for canonical ambiguities, ‘Odessaverse’ being the reality layer, the Fireman’s House by the Sea being the White Lodge, whatever Twin Perfect’s on about, Cooper/Audrey, Cooper/Laura

um. do you have any favorite poly victor ships??

um, do I EVER!!

The obvious one here is defs our teen Victor trio: Nolie Reyes, Lincoln Conway, and Jules Churchill!! How freaking cute would they all be dating each other? I can’t EVEN. 

We all know what a power trio our D1 gals are, but imagine if they were DATING?!?? Glitter Rosseau, Cashmere Lepointe, and Opal Marseille??? They would be unstoppable, you guys!

I’m sure we all remember the absolute drama that was the Dior Dupuis x Birch Pembrooke  x Mare Darrow love triangle, right?? Well, imagine if it wasn’t a love rivalry, but a love relationship!!

Actually, you know what? Let’s get a little more yeehaw up in here!! Birch Pembrooke, Mare Darrow and Celeste Hannson?!??!!

What’s hotter than one gorgeous career victor??? That’s right- THREE gorgeous career victors!!! Picture this, babes: Enobaria McClave, Cashmere Lepointe, and Finnick Odair. I think I’d melt, it’s just SO MUCH????

We’ve been #blessed by three hot victor men in the last decade. What do y’all think about Lincoln Conway, Thresh Okonjo, and Birch Pembrooke?? (sidenote: why is Birch so easy to ship with literally everybody?? Do you think I could ship him with me???)

You know what we love here at SW? A power trio who do not take anyone’s nonsense! I’m thinking Johanna Mason, Jules Churchill, and non-D7 native Echo Huxley?? They could teach her how to throw axes or something! It’d be tres cute.

Harlow Vale needs to fall in love. She deserves it, she’s just been through SO. MUCH. You know who I think would be good for her?? Fellow single parents Eli Uila and Lark Timbers!! Maybe they could adopt Harlow a new little one?? We love supportive partners helping each-other heal!!

Dorian Hawthorne, Haymitch Abernathy, and Dwight Hale. They could be drinking buddies, or they could become something more……?

I’m gonna end by saying I KNOW you all think I’m wild for my hardcore #odesta shipping, but there is something THERE you guys!! And you know what? I think Oakley Dressel should be a part of it! Annie Cresta, Oakley Dressel, and Finnick Odair. It would be the CUTEST little ship!!

ARENA MAP // MALL OF AMERICA

Like the 76th Games, the tributes have a lot of room to maneuver around in. But, that is where the similarities end. The tributes are surrounded by four walls, stores, only sporadic shafts of sunlight enter from the ceiling, three stories up. Even the Cornucopia (#1) is different, a glass, geometric statue standing beautiful in the centre of the rotunda.  Shopping bags spill out of it and litter the floor, their contents obscured by gift wrapping and tissue paper.

Ambient mall music filters through hidden speakers as the tributes take in their surroundings. The floors give little traction and are made of a glossy, white tile. Two sets of staircases wind their way up to the second and third floors from the first. A defunct elevator lies next to the eastern set of staircases. Behind the semi-circle of tributes an amusement park that dominates the middle of all three floors looms. Stores line each floor and a food court sits gleaming on the topmost floor.

FIRST FLOOR // CRANE WORLD & MAKE-A-MUTT

Tributes who stay on the first floor will be intimidated by Crane World (#2) that will attract their eye whenever they walk around their floor. The amusement park is vaguely themed around what seems like old cartoon characters. A large yellow square with pants looks down on the tributes as they walk through one of four entrances to the amusement park. There are two roller coasters that rise up to the third floor and come back down. A ferris wheel slowly turns in long enough intervals that if a tribute wishes to get on and ride it, they can. A carousal sits still in the middle of the park, while a bumper car ride sits empty. Any of the rides that are currently powered down can be turned on, but lights, music and the sounds of operation will alert anyone and anything to the tribute’s location.

A Make-A-Mutt (#4) store sits across from the Cornucopia and is filled with several stuffed animals. A stuffing machine sits quite large at the back of the store. Several bins filled with little accessories dot the store. Some accessories are cute like bows, collars, and hats. Other accessories are gruesome like razor sharp teeth, poison stingers, and gnarly horns. Already made mutts line the store windows and the shelves. Ranging from simple dogs to horrendous looking lizard monsters.

One department store is open for tributes to explore. It spans all three floors and has escalators that link the floors within the store Heavensbee’s (#3). Inside there are so many different departments, spanning from shoes to jewelry to housewares. 

The convenience stores have icee machines that give out various colours of slushies, as well as a couple of small vending machines that require coins to operate.

Other stores on the first floor that have supplies are:

Wiress’ Wires; useless wires, display phones/tablets

Birch & Nolie’s; books about random topics (none that pertain to survival)

77/11; convenience store

Forever 17; clothing

Force of Nature; plant store

Hot Topic; clothing

Eno’s Earrings; accessories

Any other store has empty shelves.

If a tribute takes any item out of a store, an alarm will sound alerting everyone to your location.

SECOND FLOOR // PANEMIAN GIRL & BATH AND BODY WORKS

If a tribute stumbles into Panemian Girl (#5), they will notice several dolls in the windows and along the shelves on the walls. Like, Make-A-Mutt there are several baskets of accessories, but all of these are innocuous in nature. The dolls in the front windows are all dressed as stereotypes for the different districts and the Capitol. However, the shelves in the store seem to store more personalized dolls. Each doll on the wall looks like one of the 24 tributes in the Games. These dolls can be taken off the shelves.

Walking past Bath and Body Works, the scents that it produces seem enticing. The scents coming from the store smell like lavender, vanilla, cotton, sandalwood, and other delicious smells. However, if a tribute spends more than ten minutes in the store, they will start having hallucinations. Exiting the store and getting away from the smells is the only way to stop the hallucinations. The store has plenty of obstacles and product towers that make it hard to navigate when hallucinating.  

The pharmacy stores have only a couple of pieces of supplies, limited to prepared herbs and a couple of bandages.

Other stores on the second floor that have supplies are:

Abercrombie & Snow; clothing

Care of Celeste; pharmacy

Panemanian Eagle; clothing

Club Cashmere; clothing

Harlow’s Newsstand; convenience store

Toscana’s Closet; clothing

Rubin’s Runway; clothing

Any other store has empty shelves.

THIRD FLOOR // FOOD COURT & STORES

A store called Relaxing Massage catches the eye of any tribute that walks by because it seems like there is an adult person in there. If a tribute were to walk in and feel at home with a strange man in the Arena, they will learn that this is a real massage parlor. For ten minutes, a man will massage a tribute. They will leave feeling refreshed.

Another store on the third floor called Old Time Photos is open. If a tribute walks in they will notice a bunch of props scattered on the counter and floor that can be used in a photograph. If they press a button on the camera, a ten second timer will begin and the camera will take three photos (ten seconds between each photo). A print-out will slide out of the camera as a souvenir.

Other stores on the third floor that have supplies are:

I Love Panem!; district and capitol themed souvenirs (keychains, etc.)

Got Kilt?; clothing

Dior’s Discs; record store

Singing Lark; personalized gifts

Mason’s Medicines; pharmacy

Zale & Conway; designer swimsuits 

Any other store has empty shelves.

The Food Court (#6) dominates a good chunk of the third floor. Lots of tables make up the middle of the food court with many different counters for different cuisines around the outside. Currently only Auntie Annie’s is opening with steaming hot pretzels coming out every hour.  

The Food Court restaurants are:

Orange Caesar Flickerman

Peeta Pit

Auntie Annie’s

Panda Express

Burger President

Juley Rockets

Long John Finnick’s

Any stores not labeled on the map are somewhere on the floor indicated.
