wondering who builds the cornucopia for each game. My first instinct says the capitol itself, but it seems like they depend on the districts for their labor. This makes it unlikely they have the trained labor pool necessary to create such intricate and durable designs.

In the 74th games, the cornucopia is woven, golden and twenty feet high. While it’s possible they built it in-place, I doubt it due to the intricacies of the woven designs. If anything, it points to someone who’s good with precious metals, luxury metals if you will. Someone like District 1, the district known for their craftsmanship.

It would make sense then, why they have to keep district 1 in their favor, if they’re outsourcing the confidential labor for their games to career districts. Maybe they bring the laborers to the capitol itself, but people talk, and inevitably, it would create an advantage.

Maybe the career training isn’t just physical, it’s insider knowledge, too.

Thoughts on mtt

they should travel the multiverse together and see and experience a more peaceful life than all of them ever have (⁎˃ᴗ˂⁎)

also they should get to gnaw at each other like rabies infected dogs 🧡🙏

hi mutuals im just curious.

Hi!! I'm sorry you're feeling down 🩷 Do you and Jack have any pets together? What do you and Jack like to do to relax together??

Hii!! Thank you for the ask!! I’m feeling better now but it still means a lot to me!!/gen <:)

Edit: SO this got suuuuper long and definitely diverged from the original question and for that I apologize but it also gave me an opportunity to flesh out some more lore so for that, thank you!!

It’s all under the cut, if you wanna read it!! :)))

Erhmm probably not bc in my main selfship with Jack Delroy, they don’t actually end up together in the end (doomed relationship type vibes 😭) and they never actually move in together when they ARE in a relationship.

That being said…

My self insert, Esther (Jack calls her Essie, and I’ll refer to her that way sometimes too), is, like me irl, an animal lover through and through! So she takes care of the local strays around the apartment complex she lives in as well as the one stray cat that hangs around the Night Owls studio parking lot!

It’s this, Esther taking care of this cat, giving it food and pets and stuff, that informs Jack about her affinity for animals. Esther usually gets to the studio before most everyone else, wanting to get started working before the hustle and bustle of the rest of the crew arrives.

So every morning she has work, she takes the bus to the studio and feeds the stray cat she’s been taking care of here before going into the building. One morning, she walks in and Jack gives her quite the fright as she’s usually the first one in the building. But Jack had fallen asleep in his dressing room and was only woken up by Esther’s arrival. The two express their surprise at each others presence. Esther explains that this is normal for her- she’s always here this early, but she’s never seen Jack here so early? Jack explains that he’d fallen asleep and been here the whole night. He nods to the still open plastic baggie, that had previously contained a bit of cat food, in Esther’s hands asking what she’s got there. She starts to explain before sighing and motioning for him to follow her.

She leads him out to where the cat is finishing up its breakfast, licking its chops. When it notices Esther, it trots quickly over to her and rubs her legs affectionately as cats do and chirps a few times in greeting. Jack remarks on how good she is with the cat and Esther explains that she’s always loved animals, particularly cats, and how she cares for the strays around her apartment complex too.

Jack watches her pet the cat for a while before saying , “We should name it, don’t you think?”

Esther pauses. Despite caring for the animals, including this cat, she’s never really thought to give any of them names. The animals by her apartment don’t need to be called by name, they come running when they hear the bag of food as Esther shakes it. But she smiles and nods slowly, agreeing with Jack.

“Yea, yea we should. You got a name in mind?”

Jack thinks for a moment before saying simply, “Oliver.”

“Oliver?” she replies, with a small smile.

“Yea like the Charles Dickens story, y’know ‘Oliver Twist’?” he explains, “because he’s a stray and he looks pretty young, maybe an orphaned stray.”

Esther looks at the cat and then Jack and then the cat again before nodding decisively and saying, “Okay, Oliver, it is.”

Oliver chirps in approval and moves to tentatively sniff Jack’s shoes, to which Jack moves to crouch and offer his hand for Oliver to sniff.

Oliver sniffs Jack before pausing, as though appraising the human before him, and then rubs Jack’s hand affectionately too.

“I think he likes me!” Jack whispers with a delighted little smile.

Esther smiles back at him, watching the adorable sight of Jack and Oliver getting acquainted.

…

Years down the line, Esther is in her thirties and the days of working as a graphic designer of sorts for the Night Owls show and Jack Delroy are well behind her. She’s a concept artist at Disney, her dream job finally realized in her early thirties.

They’re looking for new ideas for an animated film and Esther offhandedly remarks on an animal remake of the Dickens novel “Oliver Twist”. Everyone thought it was brilliant and they went ahead with it, creating the movie “Oliver and Company” which would release in 1988.

Nobody knew that there was a very specific reason that the titular feline character of Oliver looked the way he did. Except Esther. Esther based him directly off of the appearance of Oliver the stray from all those years ago, the cat that Jack had named. ‘Funny’ she thinks, ‘how even now his presence persists…’

Nobody really knew that “Oliver and Company” could never have happened if the now disgraced and forgotten host of the late night talk show, “Night Owls with Jack Delroy” hadn’t been introduced to a little stray cat by Esther Watkins back in 1976…

lawrence and adam both looking at each other and thinking "he deserves better".....

adam thinking that he's a little creep still, even more pathetic now that the fucking bathroom traumatized him, that he's not good enough. lawrence is a doctor for fuck's sake! adam's barely a step above a stray he took pity on, surely. he'll find someone better soon enough and adam will pretend to be okay with that

lawrence seeing this funny, spunky, beautiful young man and not seeing why he would ever want to be with the disabled, broken man twice his age who also damn near blew his arm off on the worst night of their lives. he still hasn't gotten past the stage of wanting to cry every time he sees adam's scar. why on god's green earth WOULDN'T he find someone better?

For the first time in a while, I had myself a snz dream~

Sadly wasn't completely focused on the snz, but it was starring D/azai (feat. C/huuya as a supporting role) and man... I'm gonna be replaying it for days in my mind... >//<

All the surrounding details aren't important but... let's just say D/azai chose to be tied to a suspect, and have his loyal assistant C/huuya (who did not care for that title) place the cat in his lap, D/azai's eyes watering within seconds.

The results were... itchy <3 and through some wonderful ~dream logic~, each time D/azai let another powerful, desperate, itchy sneeze out, the chains he'd tied himself to the suspect with would pull tight, and the suspect would find himself crashing into D/azai, powers being stripped each time (something that, in this dream world, was highly unpleasant)

A lot of it was fairly dream logic-oriented, so the plot itself doesn't make a ton of sense, but the image of a hitching, smirking, sneezy D/azai, with an eye-rolling, cursing, but slightly concerned C/huuya... yeah that's gonna be on repeat for awhile~
