#how I could give

In my Peter fic, he’s close to Tori and is sort of a mother figure to him. Which obviously got me thinking - what if this poor woman had to also manage her other child-ish figure (that being Tris) and make the kids stop fighting.

So this AU was born. Tori is a single woman who has been fighting the foster care system to become a foster parent. When she was finally being considered, she was immediately told “no, you don’t want that one.” When she met Peter. She was informed that he was a difficult case that several foster families had already given up on, so they were only considering experienced foster parents to take him in.

Obviously it became her life’s mission to adopt him. After years, she was successful. Meanwhile, the Prior family is rather close with Tori and are neighbors. When both parents die in a freak accident (because that has to happen even in my cute AU apparently), Tori agrees to watch Tris and Caleb until a more permanent solution is found.

Saying Peter does not like this would be a bit of an understatement. While he still refuses to share anything, it’s not difficult to guess he didn’t come from a good upbringing considering his violent outbursts, abandonment issues, and constant panic attacks. These fears are only confirmed for him when he sees his mother giving attention to two children who are not him. He feels like he’s losing the one person willing to take a chance on him. As such, he immediately despises these two intruders on his carefully crafted life.

Caleb isn’t awful. He mostly stays to himself, and is rather self sufficient. Tris, though? Well he cannot stand her. She seems to be taking up all of his mother’s attention with her sobbing about how much she misses her parents all the time. And while Peter can’t help but feel slightly bad for the girl, he still is sure that she has to go.

Thus begins his quest to get rid of these children by trying to get them adopted. Hijinks ensue, and well… if he were to get attached to his new temporary siblings along the way, would that really be so bad?

(They are about 8-10 in this AU. Just wanted a feel good thing because all my other AUs are very depressing.)

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

It is the middle of a Sunday afternoon. You have nothing on, and aren't expecting visitors, deliveries or post.

Unexpectedly, there is a knock at the door.

you are greeted by...... her

(click for higher quality!) draconified link concept ive been chipping away at this past week ..... here's my funny little compendium concept for him:

"A heroic spirit has taken the form of this bestial dragon. Unlike it's kin, this creature exhibits an extremely aggressive disposition. It appears highly territorial, and will relentlessly chase down those who disturb its skywide patrols - of which it seems to be endlessly searching for either a long-time vassal or foe. Unfortunately, it seems the spirit within has long since forgotten exactly who it was looking for…"

"don't make it political!" .... what proportion of death and suffering must occur before politics are involved. if this isn't political, what is even the point of any politics, ever. of democracy. the words are "by the people for the people." if i am going to be left alone by my elected representatives to "figure it out" - to undergo damage, hardship, fear. what the fuck did i elect them for. what was their job. the entire point is that they handle this shit. this is why we were supposed to be electing leaders.

poverty is political. misogyny is political. gun control is political. climate change is political. how much aid a community gets is political. what the fuck are you talking about. it's been political this whole fucking time.

How did Treasure Planet manage to come up with the greatest aesthetic in all human history? Victorian elegance plus space-age flair, with just enough dirt and grime and wear and tear to make it feel real? A combination of traditional and computer animation that perfectly embodies the movie's blend of old and futuristic? How does it get any better than that?

it is kinda spooky to know that my pain isn't in my head, if that makes sense? like after my MRI my rheumatologist said "yeah, your hips and spine are being corroded by your immune system," so now when I wake up and have trouble walking it's like......hm......the corrosion.....
