#losing stuff as an adult isnt even so bad like i'll just have to get a new one. fine. its my problem

[sneindeer]

losing ur id card is great for practising low-stakes social interactions. You can ask lots of people if they saw an ID card. a random dude will try to offer you his health insurance card. fun times XD

okay. trying again with hunger games au.

I think 1 small change I'll make is that I dont wanna age everyone down so I'm just gonna say that the hunger games is for adults too lol.

grian lives in district 11 with his slightly younger brother, Jimmy, and his twin sister, Pearl. (I cant decide if they're fraternal twins or identical and Grian is trans)

his parents illegally hunted to keep them all fed and they taught grian and pearl to hunt too. grian now hunts with the family friend Joel, who also hunts for his small family of his own. they've had to hunt more often as of late (around the time of the reaping(the thing of picking the tributes)) because joel has recently gotten married (lizzie cameo!!)

grian himself doesnt find himself very interested in romance (hes very aromantic coded, he only had a small crush on scar when they were kids and he just has other things to focus on, much like katniss) and he doesnt really get it but hes fine with staying out in the woods later with joel if they need more food if he needs it. joel usually gives him the pelts of extra game to sell at the market so it's a good deal. joel, him, and jimmy are kind of a little friend group in the district (bad boys bad boys)

scar is a baker who the bad boys work with on occasion, mostly getting him stuff because he isn't really allowed out of the house much (its parent stuff, they wont let him move out or leave even tho hes an adult but like he just lives with it bcuz the economy n stuff is so bad that if he left to build his own life hed prolly end up on the streets for a long time)

they mostly go to the black market for him for getting like sugar and they help get baking stuff for him in return for lots of bread. this started back when he and grian were young and scar had to throw out burnt bread and his ma hit him and grian found it like a lil feral animal and paid scar back with a dead rabbit (this is based off a scene in the hunger games but tweaked a bit) and they've been trading ever since. grian wouldnt say they were friends but scar is a sweetheart. hes surprised someone could be kind in the world they live in.

anyways jimmy gets chosen as tribute, grian volunteers to replace him, and then scar is chosen. nobody volunteers for him, which breaks both of their hearts a bit.

their mentor is Martyn and their stylist is a man who goes by the name S. Major who grian swears hes met before

training montage, dressup montage, very gay denial scarian montage, and bam. the games start.

I'm not 100% on who the participants in the game will be because I wanna keep a lot of players alive to be other characters, but also I think grian should 100% group with the southlanders. but that means theyd die and. I dont wanna do that. maybe mumbo could die? maybe hes like rue. but... augh... but martyn is like the mentor so he isnt IN the games...

AUGH

this is always what gets me.

okay so blah blah blah, shit happens, scar loses one of his legs and gets all bloodthirsty about it, they almost commit a double suicide, and the game ends.

I think bigb will be kinda like plutarch? idk. I think characters wont fit super properly into the roles (like I kinda want secret soulmate crumbs but also if you think of them as Katniss and plutarch its weirrdd yk???)

and I actually have to go. so signing off. sorry I didn't finish once more.

once again savign this in my pocket for later touare so coool and i love you. i love when you infodump at me you are awesme

[sillysnack]

does anyone want to hear my top 10 ASOUE moments (from the books and netflix adaptation)? "no" well HERE IT IS

spoiler: most of them are going to involve klaus

NUMBER 10!

(The Ersatz Elevator, Netflix) Klaus keeps screaming even though their little basket thing is stable and floating again

NUMBER 9

(The Penultimate Peril, Books) Klaus says that he and his sisters arent noble but Dewey Denouement reassures him that they are noble enough and they hug

NUMBER 8

(The End, Netflix) klaus reads The Incomplete History then he and violet find out if she were a boy, she'd be named "Lemony". klaus then says, "I wonder why that name's so important."

NUMBER 7

(The Bad Beginning) Fernald (the Hook-Handed Man, an adult) loses to Sunny Baudelaire (a baby) in a game of POKER 😭😭

NUMBER 6!

(The Bad Beginning) Klaus talks about nuptial laws (its a good scene, okay? i love it when people know stuff)

NUMBER 5

Isadora, wearing fake bangs: how do i look?

Klaus: different. which is good! not that you didnt look good before but-

4 (typing the word number now seems wrong to me)

(The Penultimate Peril, Netflix) Esme tells Olaf that being constantly undermined by her significant other (Olaf) is "Out" and that being outsmarted by three children time and time again is "out" (basically Esme just rants to Olaf and then he breaks up with her)

TOP 3

(The End) the Baudelaires celebrate Beatrice II's 1st birthday!

TOP 2:

(Netflix, shown in The Penultimate Peril (I think?)) "Beatrice, I will love you if I never see you again, and I will love you if I see you every Tuesday. I will love you as the iceberg loves the ship and as the passengers love the lifeboat, as the battlefield loves young men and as peppermints love your allergies. I will love you as we grow older, which just happened, and happened again, and will continue to happen. I will love you until every fire has been extinguished and every home rebuilt, and every code and heart has been broken. I will love you if you marry someone else, and I will love you if you have a child, or two children, or three, which seems like a good number. I love you Beatrice, I always will."

alright! before I get to Top 1 here are Honorable Mentions:

- any Klaus Baudelaire scene

- Klaus says "nice girls can do all sorts of things" in response to Mr. Poe going "violet you are a nice girl you shouldnt know how to do that" because she managed to construct the broken apart murder tool olaf used on Uncle Monty

- Klaus says "some boys like dolls" (that's how I remember the line) becuase violet gave the doll gifted to her by Aunt Josephine to him

- every Fernald & Sunny scene in The Slippery Slope, especially where he playfully calls her Chabo.

- the snow scouts recite their pledge (I'll memorize this) and klaus says "How can anyone by Xylophone?" because thats part of the pledge

- (The Penultimate Peril, Netflix) count olaf dumps esme so Carmelita asks: is countie not my daddy anymore? Esme answers: hes not mine either pet

- (OKAY LAST HONORABLE MENTION 🙏🙏) Klaus talks about firetrucks and ends it with "and thats.. a lot of power" (he meant all of it as a threat) then he asks violet "how was that?" and she answers, "comprehensive"

OKAY NOW TOP 1 (sorry if this isnt what you expected)

MY TOP 1 ASOUE MOMENT IS..!

(The Slippery Slope) "Maybe they didn't want us to find out about such a dangerous place," Violet said, peering off the ledge, "although if you have to hide a headquarters, it's a beautiful place to do it, this is a very lovely view."

"Very lovely indeed," Quigley said, but he was not looking at the view beneath him. He was looking beside him, where Violet Baudelaire was sitting.

I want to get my job back / get a job but its mid July and my family already planned and paid for our 1 week trip to the Cape in August, and I just feel like that is not going to fly with any attempt at getting a job/that my work wont take me back because of it or they wont be happy or I wont be able to get the week off. Even though idek if we're going at all because cases are on the rise everywhere and I just dont think it's such a great idea. Back when we paid for the hotel rooms the northeast at least seemed to be good, yknow? I want to go but like, not if it isnt safe, and I dont really think it is. But if the rest of the fam goes and I dont and I have a job I have to take public transportation... and my family are all *waves arms* about the idea of me taking the bus. Which like, does not help me feel like an Adult who can make their own decision, thanks... :| but yeah I just adhd brain wants to wait and put off calling work until after the August trip while I'm like noooo?? That is a terrible idea??? I would like to not lose more of this year to being out of work?? Idk. I feel like theres legit reasons not to go back- covid 19, and it's actually surging further out on the island but customers may visit from there, which just great; also I could work on maybe opening up commissions and really focus on that and my etsy, or I could try to find a remote job idk. It's not necessarily safe to go back to work - but steph and my dad are both working, in retail type environments. So if they're exposed to anything I could get it from them (because we stopped trying to not be all over each other or not share drinks or clean all the surfaces in the house once a week, despite the fact that they're going to work and potentially bringing germs home), so what's the difference between that and me myself going to work? (I really wish the hospital wouldve ordered the antibody test for ma and not just the covid 19 test when she went for the angiogram, bc we suspect she and my dad at least had it but we dont know for sure. and we are kiinda acting like we do.) Idk. But they are being careful, or at least steph is, dad has decided that groceries dont carry any risk so idek if hes been washing his hands when he comes home after grocery shopping. But I know steph makes sure to clean her hands and her stuff and such. So I guess, if I can be at least as careful then going back to work should be ok? But that's my fear I guess is that I'll be very bad at the cleanliness side of things, my brain forgets to be careful very easily, and I'm afraid I'll touch my face or forget to wash my hands before eating on my break or I'll forget to wash my hands when I get home or clean my phone off. I already did forget to wash/clean my hands before eating on my break at work sometimes...I would use purel but sometimes forgot completely. And I would have to wash my hands before using the bathroom when going to the bathroom. Tho it looks like we'll be provided gloves to wear, but still..

Idk. But I feel guilty-bad for putting off calling work or even thinking about doing so. But idk if I am ready yet. Blehrgh
