i wanna love tomorrow, but i love what’s left

[innocencel0st]

I saw a video of C.ody R.hodes agreeing to be the best man at a random fan he didn't know's wedding. And all I could think is that's some serious Rue energy there.

Like she'd absolutely agree to be Maid of Honor for some random fan she meets at a convention or something. She'd just be like "DM me the deets, send me the link for the MoH dress, I'll be there." And she would be too.

🍳 - what is your muse’s favorite breakfast?

For Crystal and Rue

Crystal loves a good ol' fashion country breakfast. Biscuits and gravy, grits, eggs, sausage or bacon. And maybe even some occasional pancakes too.

Rue somehow survives off of nothing but iced coffee and smoothies until about 6PM and then has dinner. (Sometimes she'll have a chicken wrap or something of that nature for lunch.)

hot take (maybe)

i know many of you think percy is the gossip guy, but in the books he usually doesn’t really care about what’s going on in other people’s lives that much. he cares about his friends obviously, but he doesn’t ever give off the vibes of being someone who would enjoy gossip and drama at all. i feel like he’s the “i didn’t ask” guy. like tell me this isn’t how it would go

annabeth: oh good you’re home! how were the guys?

percy: good. i tried to teach frank to skateboard. it… it didn’t go very well. that guy is strong as fuck but he has terrible balance!

annabeth: i could have told you that. is anything new with any of them?

percy: i don’t know. not really? although when we were watching the game, chris mentioned him and clarisse broke up. it was right before halftime when-

annabeth: WHAT?? WHY DID THEY BREAK UP??

percy: uhh, i don’t know

annabeth: okay well when did they break up?

percy: hm, i don’t know

annabeth: what do you mean you don’t know?? did he not want to talk about it??

percy: maybe. i don’t know. i didn’t ask

annabeth: you- you didn’t ask??

percy:

annabeth: this is why i need leo to be at these things!

Captain Marvel is at Camp Half-Blood with a new demigod child.

Annabeth: Who this time?

Marvel: Apollo. I mean, he did a great job hiding his daughter.

The girl with the golden hair is holding onto Marvel and looking at Annabeth in disbelief.

Annabeth: How could he?

Marvel: He abandoned her in a foster home in Fawcett. But he didn't tell me. I'm going to kick his ass for that.

Annabeth nods and sits down in front of the girl. She hides behind Marvel even more. Marvel gently strokes her head.

Marvel: It's going to be okay. No one will hurt you here.

The girl nods slowly and takes Annabeth's hand.

Marvel: Behave yourself. I'll fly back to visit you soon. I'll tell your parents you're safe.

The girl brightens and smiles. She leaves with Annabeth and waves goodbye to Marvel.

Clarisse approaches Marvel: *sarcastically* Welcome to the outcast camp, Champion.

Marvel: Clarisse...

Clarisse: Shut up. You will never understand the likes of us. I hate to see you, Beloved of the Gods.

Marvel just sighs and shakes his head. He takes off and flies back to Fawcett, he doesn't want to fight the Ares gene pool right now.

rewatched a court of fey and flowers and god i LOVE this season. squeezed out a lineup to figure out how to draw the pack of pixies!

Rue is the hummingbird to Katniss's mockingjay pin.

"They'd been fashioned by Tam Amber over thirty years ago. I never saw them, but Merrilee's featured a hummingbird and Maysilee's a mockingjay."

- SOTR, Page 54

"Aren't they magnificent? Thirteen has been studying their aerodynamics here for years. Forward and backwards flight, and speeds up to sixty miles per hours. If only I could build you wings like these, Katniss!" "I doubt you could manage them, Beetee," I laugh. "Here one second, gone the next. Can you bring a hummingbird down with an arrow?" he asks. "I've never tried. Not much meat on them," I answer. "No, and you're not one to kill for sport," he says. "I bet they'd be hard to shoot, though." "You could snare them maybe," Gale says.

- Mockingjay, Page 65

When he asks what her greatest strength in the arena will be, she doesn't hesitate. "I'm very hard to catch," she says in a tremulous voice. "And if they can't catch me, they can't kill me. So don't count me out."

- The Hunger Games, Page 126

"Oh no," says Rue, closing my fingers back over the pin, "I like to see it on you. That's how I decided I could trust you. Besides, I have this." She pulls a necklace woven out of some kind of grass from her shirt. On it, hangs a roughly carved wooden star. Or maybe it's a flower. "It's a good luck charm."

- The Hunger Games, Page 212

IM SORRY HUH,,,,,,, DIOR ?????????????

[wearylaurels]

Not sure if this has already been said but I was going through the illustrations for the Illustrated hunger games and I can’t stop thinking of the depiction the artist took for Thresh.

In the original book, Katniss describes Thresh as powerful and intimidating—a build on par with the Careers, strong and silent, a mysterious threat lurking on the edges of the arena that is able to hold out until the very last days of the 74th games. And you can see how this interpretation informed the casting choices made for him in the live action adaptations. For years, the only image we’ve had of Thresh is of this strong, unstoppable guy who had to be taken out by either the physically strongest guy in the Games, or by monsters designed by the Capitol itself.

And then, you see Thresh as he’s illustrated.

The low angle. The backlight throwing almost his entire figure into shadow. The way he holds aloft the rock he just killed Clove with—the fact that you can *see* Clove’s corpse in the background. Everything about this image is designed to paint Thresh as this hulking berserker, moments away from beating in your skull.

But then you see his face. Those eyes, welling with tears. The look of disbelief. The way his mouth is opened—what is he saying? Is he asking Katniss if she’s the one who killed Rue? The little girl who would sing when it was time to go home from the fields? Or is he stunned into silence as Katniss recounts how she buried Rue in flowers, how she sang to her in her final moments? In the books it’s mentioned that he never talked to anyone—was he preparing, like Katniss, to see everyone in that arena as a threat? How shocked must he have been that this random girl he never even spoke to, whose name he’s probably forgotten, go to such lengths to show kindness to someone who wasn’t from her district?

More than anything, he looks so *young.* His eyes are large and expressive—his face is soft, still retaining a little baby fat. Throughout the book, Katniss categorizes her fellow tributes as potential threats first and foremost—she often describes Thresh as a stoic, unflinching powerhouse, but then you see this and you’re taken aback. Because this? This isn’t the calculating, powerful predator we’ve been expecting. This is very clearly a *child.* A *boy*, who’s been ripped from his home to fight to the death in an arena for the entertainment of the ruling class. Who probably got his strength from climbing trees, hauling sacks of grain, collecting food. Who was so deeply impacted by the death of his district partner that just the suggestion from another girl’s mouth that she had killed her sent him into a rage. Who, in the books, refused to interact with or fight any of his fellow tributes until he heard Clove talking at the feast.

You start wondering—did he ever want to kill anyone? Like Peeta, did the idea of the Capitol turning him into a killer make him sick? Like Reaper, was it a refusal to play into the hands of the Capitol? Like Katniss, did the fact alone that he had killed leave its own horrible mark? Did he spend his final nights jumping awake as he relived Clove’s skull caving under the rock? When the mutts finally came for him, do you think he hesitated when he saw the tributes’ eyes staring back?

This is a *kid.* They’re all just *kids.* And that’s what fucks me up so much about this picture of Thresh—that it’s not just a depiction of him, but of all the tributes who have ever competed in the Hunger games. That no matter how they are reframed as victors and monsters and killers and spectacles, at the end of the day they were all children. Boys and girls forced to fight each other to the death, while their true enemies watched on, laughing.

Do they give tough love or gentle love most often? Which do they prefer to receive?

For Julian, Rue, Chloe, Brenda, and Tatum

Julian is very quiet. It takes a lot for him to be "tough" on someone. As far as which he'd prefer to receive, it's not something he really thinks about because he keeps to himself so much.

Rue is the epitome of "don't yell at me or I'll cry" but is very blunt when it comes to her own words.

Chloe is very much like Julian.

Brenda doesn't really care. If someone pisses her off too much (or embarrasses her) she'll simply kill them.

Tatum can be very blunt but she gives whatever she thinks the person needs. She's surprisingly empathetic and if she cares about a person, she doesn't want to make them feel worse. But she'd rather receive tough love. She'd rather have honestly with no sugar coating.

[cfgcdsandmcnsters]

👔- does your muse enjoy dressing up for social events?

For Crystal, Jericho, Julian, and Rue

Crystal absolutely does not. In fact, she tries to avoid social events as much as possible.

Jericho doesn't necessarily enjoy dressing up, but he's not really a casual dresser either, even outside of social events. His mother has built a fashion empire after all, so his sense of style is rather impeccable.

Julian also avoids social events when he can, though when his wife was alive, he didn't mind dressing up for her. He would've done anything to make her happy.

Rue absolutely loves dressing up. She loves seeing the shock on people's faces on the rare occasions she attends any kind of red carpet event and people see her all dolled up to the nines instead of decked out in her normal goth aesthetic. I mean...just look at her...she knows how to STUN.

Bringing this back with all of the player housing news I'm excited for. Vaard will finally have his tiny, human-sized home he lives out of. Every doorway has some wear and tear on the top of the beams where he's smacked is head over the years when not paying attention.
