Yo Mama!

with @unshackled-instinct

"Come back here, Kyo! I haven't finished speaking with you!!"

"Screw you, dad!!"

Kyo shoved his hands into his jean pockets as he walked away from his house, and his stupid ass father. Yeah, dads can be cringey, but to embarrass him like that in front of his own girlfriend!

Unforgivable!

Not to mention putting a serious cramp in his style!

He was steamed!

Usually his mom stopped his dad from making a complete ass out of himself. With her gone to visit family though..

Of course the old man took full advantage.

And now he had to go and beg Yuki to forgive him.

Lame.

And it was only going to get lamer. Unfortunately for him, the person he nearly ran into was none other than his rival..

Hohenheim: you know, I raised two fully functional children

Ed: are the two fully functional children in the room with us?

You know what AU I’d like to see (read: will possibly con myself into writing)?

The 75th Hunger Games, the Third Quarter Quell, is announced. Haymitch and Katniss are desperately trying to get Peeta out alive, having already accepted that Katniss herself will be killed by Snow’s arena and Mutts if the other tributes don’t manage it.

The reaping begins. Effie Trinket struggles and finally manages to draw the one name in the ladies’ bowl. Katniss Everdeen is reaped for the first time, a tribute for the second.

“I volunteer as tribute,” sings an old lady in the audience.

District 12’s only other female Victor. Lucy Gray Baird, winner of the 10th Hunger Games. She survived Coriolanus’s fit in the woods, dodged the gunfire and made her escape. Barely, she managed to survive on her own. And when the Quell was announced, well….

Somehow, let’s say the news of it made its way to her wherever she was living. And Lucy is in her eighties, now. She’s lived a long, good life even though her love wasn’t as Pure as the Driven Snow after all. She avoided the suffering in 12, lived happily, and dodged the fate of the many victors who followed her. She’s ready. Besides, she’s got some unfinished business in the Capitol.

Most people would argue against it. But Effie Trinket has two kids she would like to see live, thank you very much, and she is the escort for the district, hm? Thread may argue, but with the cameras rolling what can he do? What right does the Head Peacekeeper have to intervene in the reaping when the Mayor and Escort both sign off on it? Effie offers to instead redo the drawing with Lucy and Katniss’s names both in the bowl…but what would that accomplish when it’s clear one will volunteer even if her name isn’t called? This, of course, means that when Haymitch is still called, Peeta has no reason to volunteer. No, it’s Lucy and Haymitch who will go to the arena.

Maybe the 75th Hunger Games still go on. Or maybe they’re rather delayed when President Coriolanus Snow drops dead of a heart attack after the reapings are broadcasted.

• my favorite books of 2023 •

It’s been quite the reading year for me, full of romance and fantasy and new author discoveries and very certain types of book boyfriends (grumpy, tattooed, brooding but shockingly soft). So, here are the 20 books that swept me away, made me feel all the emltions, and ultimately reigned supreme for me.✨

What are your top reads of the year?

[ticiie]

so my dearest @wunderlichkind tagged me to list my 10 reading highlights of 2023 and with a few days delay: here they are! they aren't listed in a particular order but let me just say that 2023 started quite devastating for me thanks to Mr Backmann and what he gifted the world with the "Beartown"-books. Loved them soso much.

tagging @nonbin-arii and @niemernuet and anyone else who feels like it to join in!

[twinflameauwof]

should I make Starstringer x Canary canon?

[fan-fucking-tasty]

When Moth first met Antoine, he kinda hated them. Because his last experience with mortals was. Really. Really bad.

Like he was forced out of his only home bad.

So when he met Antoine he thought mortals were bad and dangerous. And kinda wanted to protect himself.

Which is why he was so standoffish towards them at first. And then he learned. That there's good.

And that Antoine wouldn't hurt him like that, as far as he's concerned. It's just a silly game to Moth.

When Illumination refuses to do any Art Of Sing books and they don’t explain who this other koala was supposed to be and her part in the story, it’s understandable to feel like you’re missing out on an inside joke.
