It's the Nut!

I understand Gale's rage. I know it. I know that when Gale says they could block even the train tunnel, he's getting carried away, thinking only of what the Capitol did to District 12. What these people working in the Nut facilitated. Katniss knows it, too.

"'We watched children burn to death, and there was nothing we could do!' I have to close my eyes a minute, as the image rips through me. It has the desired effect. I want everyone in that mountain dead."

Katniss pulls back for a moment, because she's also from 12, and she likens the Nut to a coal mine. But who knows better than Gale what that would feel like? His dad died in the mines just like hers. She could barely stomach the annual field trip down there and hates the thought of him working there. But he worked there. He knows exactly what the avalanche would inflict on the people. He knows very well how it will feel. And he says that if he were a spy in the Nut, he'd say "bring on the avalanches," because he's committed to the cause and knows the rebels will never win without taking the Nut and District 2. Katniss would do it, too, be willing to die for the rebels if she were in the Nut. There are only a "handful" of spies, after all.

Boggs, of course, is steadier and suggests leaving the train tunnel open for surrenders. Gale is usually very reasonable, so this moment is odd for him. Who doesn't say things worse than they mean in fits of rage? After what he saw in 12, saving all those people and it still not being nearly enough, he's not out of line. But he may be slightly blinded by that rage. Once he calms down somewhat, even he sees that leaving the tunnel is right. He's just cautious, saying they should be armed, because those "surrendering" surely will be. And he's right about that, too (Katniss's spleen might want to weigh in).

At the end of the day, though, the Nut is a military base. It's the key to 2, which is the last stop before the Capitol. People are dying across Panem every day. The Capitol wants a ceasefire? No! The fire will cease when the people are free!And for that to happen, the Nut must be cracked. I do not have sympathy for the workers in the Nut who are not rebel spies. Those from either 2 or the Capitol who are genuinely fighting to keep the Capitol in power. They chose their side.

When talking with Beetee, Gale said they're using the same rulebook Snow used when hijacking Peeta. That would be the same one used when 12 or the hospital in 8 were bombed. But then, he's not. This is no where near as bad as what the Capitol has done. District 12 hadn't even officially rebelled yet. They never got the chance. The Capitol bombed a whole District of poor, malnourished, overworked, heavily policed regular people and followed up their bombing of 8 with hitting their hospital. I will never understand why people look down on Gale for suggesting violence may be required against a military base that launches hovercraft to go bomb more Districts.

After the bombing of the hospital on District 8: "I remember all those years in the woods, listening to Gale rant against the Capitol. Me, not paying close attention. Wondering why he even bothered to dissect its motives. Why thinking like our enemy would ever matter. Clearly, it would have mattered today. When Gale questioned the existence of the hospital, he was not thinking of disease, but this. Because he never underestimates the cruelty of those we face."

Katniss and everyone else needs to remember this. The Capitol's cruelty and the lengths to which Snow is willing to go to retain power know no bounds. There can be no progress without taking action, and holding back because you don't want to be too mean to an enemy who thinks of you as lower than dirt does not work.

I smile through the encore, because I'm good at that. I push every atom of hurt to the bottom of my guts where it burns. Then I wave and pack up my shit.

DAVEBOT: we shake our heads disapprovingly

DAVEBOT: no no not this one

DAVEBOT: she goes back into the changing room we give each other one of those meaningful glances

ARADIA: what would she do without us

DAVEBOT: she emerges again this time looking fresh as hell

DAVEBOT: our judgemental ways have done it again

DAVEBOT: socially shamed into looking completely fucking dope

ARADIA: o_o

JADE: even though I understand that it must happen, i am growing frustrated with the direction of this conversation.

JADE: what would you suggest?

DAVEBOT: kanaya

DAVEBOT: but like

DAVEBOT: wearing huge jorts

Hi Neil.

I am French (hi from France 🇫🇷) and I’ve been reading Good Omens in English. There is something I did not really understand or find a translation for it. « Rivers urv blurd » (it’s on page 284 line 26 :) . I was hoping you may maybe help me.

Love you a lot ♥️

Katniss's claim that her Capitol-reconstructed ear can hear the forcefield, and other "things you wouldn't ordinarily think have a sound. Like insect wings. Or snow hitting the ground."

The mockingjay hears the sound of Snow falling, and now all of Panem can, too.

(before you ask why he didn’t mention this notebook before, it’s because i forgot to place it earlier in the script so i had to throw it in here. i know it’s awkwardly placed shhh i’m pretending i planned this out better)

and with this page we wrap up chapter 6!! (finally oh my god this chapter is 112 pages long and has taken me a year and a half to complete.) i’m going on a brief hiatus to replenish my page backlog and give myself some time to focus on finals & whatnot for school, then i’ll be back likely either in late december or early january! i genuinely can’t believe i’ve gotten this far in the comic you guys there’s only one chapter left and i’ve been waiting to get here since 2020… this is so exciting i’m pumped for chapter 7

Richly illustrated volume exploring the inseparable histories of modernist abstraction and twentieth-century textiles.   Published on the occasion of an exhibition curated by Lynne Cooke, Woven Histories offers a fresh and authoritative look at textiles—particularly weaving—as a major force in the evolution of abstraction. This richly illustrated volume features more than fifty creators whose work crosses divisions and hierarchies formerly segregating the fine arts from the applied arts and handicrafts.   Woven Histories begins in the early twentieth century, rooting the abstract art of Sophie Taeuber-Arp in the applied arts and handicrafts, then features the interdisciplinary practices of Anni Albers, Sonia Delaunay, Liubov Popova, Varvara Stepanova, and others who sought to effect social change through fabrics for furnishings and apparel. Over the century, the intersection of textiles and abstraction engaged artists from Ed Rossbach, Kay Sekimachi, Ruth Asawa, Lenore Tawney, and Sheila Hicks to Rosemarie Trockel, Ellen Lesperance, Jeffrey Gibson, Igshaan Adams, and Liz Collins, whose textile-based works continue to shape this discourse. Including essays by distinguished art historians as well as reflections from contemporary artists, this ambitious project traces the intertwined histories of textiles and abstraction as vehicles through which artists probe urgent issues of our time.

Okay, this is where we get the character profiles of Diavolo, Barbatos, Luke, Simon, and Solomon. The one thing I'm confused about is that there's concept art of Mephistopheles, Thirteen, and Raphael but there's no profile of them which I find weird. I mean, I love that we get to see them but it's a bit out of place? Then after that, we head straight into the card illustrations! ヽ(´ω｀○)ﾉ.+ﾟ*｡:ﾟ+

Occasionally, you will find wallpapers like pages 294-295 which are neat to see then finally towards the end; you get season 1 and 2 ending illustrations which is only two pages as you see. Again, I find this weird. I don't know who's setting up these books but uhh..I question their decision..

Like the other books, the quality is excellent. I really, really love the colors from some of the illustrations. They're gorgeous to look at! I mean, yeah! They look good on the game but seeing it in person is breathtaking. It's almost as if the characters are going to pop out! At least to me.. (⁄ ⁄^⁄▽⁄^⁄ ⁄)

The cost for this art book is $40.86 from nin-nin-game which isn't bad though I find it odd this book cost less than the others? Not sure why though..very suspicious..

But, I have to say, this volume would be my favorite because of the events I adore such as Cold Snap, I Kid You Not, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and A Surprise For You. I was over the moon when I saw the illustrations and took my sweet time admiring them. The moment I saw Simeon prince, child, and surprise cards. My soul nearly left my body as these were cards I've been trying to get but couldn't due to how difficult it was to get them.

Now we have one last book to go through! Hopefully, we'll see Mephistopheles, Thirteen, and Raphael character profiles and maybe. Just maybe. We might see the Time to Create a Game event cards!! I hope the shower illustrations of the characters are there!!

Stay tune for the next reveal!! ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
