[alrightsnaps]

the way suzanne saw people romantically shipping haymitch and maysilee for years and said i’ll give you something even better. that’s actually his mean girl sister that he loathed for years and then grew to love like family! easily one of the best dynamics in the series

Tim: What’s the plan? We just hide in here forever?

Dick: Not forever. Just until Damian is calm.

Jason: So forever.

rebelcaptain + the hunger games au

When Jyn Erso was eight years old, her mother died and her father left to become a gamemaker for the Hunger Games. Adopted by Saw Gerrera, her mother's friend, she became Jyn Gerrera and was forbidden from ever revealing her true identity to anyone. Ten years later, it's Jyn's last reaping. Saw, the forgotten victor of the 32nd Hunger Games, had rejected every reward the Empire offered him, preferring to live as a recluse at the edge of the forest in District 12, as opposed to the luxury in the Victors' Village. It's been decades since anyone in the district even recalled that Saw was once a victor himself, but he had made sure to teach Jyn all he knew of self-defense and combat training. It's the only thing she has of him left since his passing two years ago. Now, Jyn just wants to get through her last reaping and survive. But when she hears the name of the young girl she trades with sometimes, Jyn doesn't hesitate to volunteer in her place. She has nothing to lose, except her life, and every reason to believe that with Saw's training, she has a chance at winning the games. A chance that 12-year-old Kerri Andor wouldn't have. Things get a little more complicated when Kerri's brother is picked as the other tribute. Jyn is good at surviving, but Cassian, with his quiet cunning and surprising talent with a bow and arrow, could be a threat. Not to mention that Jyn knows he's the sole provider for his young sister and aging mother; a family who needs him. Who may die without him. Nobody is waiting for Jyn back home. When their mentor's plan to make them seem like star-crossed lovers triples the attention and sponsors they receive, Jyn is forced to play along with the scheme and pretend she has feelings for Cassian. Worst of all? She's not sure where pretending ends and where genuine feelings begin. The gamemakers say they can both go home if they're the last two tributes standing, but Jyn knows better than to believe the pretty promises of the Empire. Soon, she'll have to make a choice. Will she do anything to survive? Or will she let Cassian Andor go home to his family - even at the cost of her own life?

You're President Snow and it's the 50th Hunger Games and you're like ok cool big one quarter quell big deal for sure for sure, twice as many tributes, probably someone from the 1st or 2nd districts will win but it'll be more exciting, and there's this one tribute from really the worst district out there who refuses to try to kill people and you're like ok well he'll be killed soon I hope, and then somehow everyone else keeps murdering each other but this one boy keeps surviving because he just refuses to interact with the other tributes and you're like hmm we should get on that but we probably have time and you get distracted by the other events and then the numbers keep dwindling and dwindling and this boy btw he holds his friend as she dies, so sad, so emotional, it's fine we can switch cameras and all but there are now only like two tributes left and one of them??? is that weird pacifist district twelve kid? hello? the whole point of this year of games was for additional violence and he's still here? and then he wins and he barely even does it on purpose he just uses the forcefield he doesn't even fight and you have to go and congratulate him on winning and your whole special year is ruined by this teenager. Anyway Haymitch winning must have been a real kick in the teeth.

Calcharo as a father headcanons

Calcharo as a Father HCs

Tags: Calcharo as a Father, Headcanons, Parent-Child Relationship, Protective Father, Stoic but Loving Dad, Combat Training, Celebrating Small Victories, Found Family Themes, Emotional Vulnerability, Character Growth.

Warnings: Mentions of Trauma and Betrayal, Harsh Parenting Methods (teaching survival through tough love), Themes of Violence (mercenary background, combat training), Emotional Distance (difficulty expressing affection), Mentions of Loss and Hardship (discussing his past).

Calcharo views parenthood as an extension of his responsibility as a leader. He’s fiercely protective, ensuring his child is safe from harm or betrayal, but he instills discipline and self-reliance, teaching them the harsh realities of the world.

Just as with his mercenary code, Calcharo would always fulfill his promises to his child. If he says he’ll be there for an important event, he’ll move mountains to make it happen—even if it means delegating critical Ghost Hounds operations.

He doesn’t sugarcoat lessons. Instead of merely explaining, he involves his child in hands-on experiences, whether it’s solving practical problems or understanding trust and betrayal in relationships.

While he prioritizes toughness, Calcharo emphasizes the importance of fairness and helping the vulnerable. He’d tell his child stories of how the Ghost Hounds helped struggling communities and teach them to wield strength with purpose.

Calcharo would train his child in combat and survival skills. Though his lessons are intense, they’re laced with subtle encouragement, instilling confidence.

Late at night, his child would sit by his side as he tells tales from the Lawless Zone and the Ghost Hounds’ exploits. His stoic face would occasionally soften as he shares hard-won wisdom and moments of victory.

Given his expertise with bioelectricity and magnetic forces, Calcharo might teach his child about machines and technology, turning repairs or upgrades into quality bonding time.

Inspired by his experiences in Huanglong, he makes an effort to celebrate milestones—no matter how small—by organizing small gatherings or preparing a favorite meal.

Calcharo’s stoic nature makes it difficult for him to express affection openly. While he deeply loves his child, his displays of care often come through actions rather than words.

Having been shaped by betrayal, Calcharo has a hard time trusting even those closest to him. He constantly worries his child might grow to resent or turn against him.

Leading the Ghost Hounds means Calcharo often struggles to dedicate as much time as he wants to his child, though he compensates by making the time they do have together meaningful.

When his child is upset, Calcharo offers quiet reassurance, placing a steady hand on their shoulder or sitting with them in silence until they’re ready to talk.

He rarely gives verbal compliments, but his proud smile or approving nod speaks volumes when his child achieves something significant.

Any threat to his child is met with unparalleled ferocity. The full power of his resonance would emerge if anyone dared harm them.

Despite his busy life, Calcharo would surprise his child with moments of unanticipated warmth, like taking them on a scenic walk or creating a safe space for them to share their thoughts.

Calcharo wants his child to grow into someone strong and self-reliant, able to navigate life’s challenges without being crushed by betrayal or hardship.

He is determined to give his child the stability and support he lacked growing up, striving to build a brighter future not tainted by the shadows of his past.

Calcharo would teach his child the importance of loyalty, keeping promises, and balancing strength with compassion, ensuring they carry on his legacy as a just and honorable person.

While my strong, vocal support for Ukraine remains unchanged and I believe it is unambiguously morally correct, I will say that there is something of a bitter pill embedded in it for me as a Jew who is very close to another Jew whose whole family had to flee Ukraine with her as a child because a combination of having the wrong surnames and being Jews meant they could not safely and successfully stay there. And like. She was born there. She still identifies as Ukrainian and has been devastated the last three years over the suffering of her people. She has been a vocal opponent of Putin and of Russian imperialism.

And at the same time, the reason she's here in the US and isn't fluent in Ukrainian is because she was too Jewish to be a "real" Ukrainian (despite the Soviets having forced her family to give up their Jewish religious practices and her having to learn everything as an adult.)

WIFEY HUBBY AND THEIR SON’S FIRST PODIUM ❤️❤️❤️

if you talk to the average conservative voter, they'll always talk about their conservative representative with unabashed enthusiasm. "this guy is supporting my rights!!!!!" even when the representative is very much not supporting their voting constituents' rights in some cases (ie. poor white ppl not realizing they're getting poorer because of their representative)

and I bet that's why conservative candidates are so good at winning. any person listening to their voters only gets a great impression of the candidate.

and if you talk to the average liberal/leftist voter, they all hem and haw. "oh yeah, I voted for them but they're Okay, they're Disappointing. they haven't done this. they haven't done that." and I bet if you fucking pressed them to state some Good Beneficial Legislation they've passed, either the voter 1. can't name any, or 2. has to attach caveats. ("yeah biden passed student loan forgiveness BUT not ALL loans were forgiven")

why aren't we ever excited about incremental progress. why aren't we cheering to the sky about every win. maybe more people would vote if there was genuine excitement, the same type of excitement that conservative voters seem to have about anything labeled "conservative".

I'm just so fucking tired of hearing ppl be like "I'm just disillusioned with my leftist representative" EVERY TIME but are DEAD SILENT on the small victories, the progress. conservatives know how to do this, and that's why they build momentum into the next election. why does this seem impossible for the other side.
