Having A Fun Idea For A Video Game And Absolutely Zero Knowledge Of How To Program Is Its Own Brand Of

Realized I hadn't given Johanna an official design and that seemed like a crime

I’m sure someone else has already said it but…

The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes should’ve been a 6 episode miniseries.

With how obsessed some studios are which short seasons (with long episodes & single seasons too) adapting songbirds where each part is two episodes would’ve been great.

The movie left so much out and doesn’t do a good job of depicting Snow’s psychological/philosophical journey. I get that it is hard to make internal narration show when adapted for viewing, but there are ways especially if the teams have more time to work with. (Playing with light and perspective or even voiceovers.) The movie also missed out on some cool characters like the nightclub owners, Ma, and the rest of the Peacekeepers and Covey too.

Even as a two+ hour movie, if you haven’t read the book you lose a lot of the context.

HELLO DEAR ARTIST i’m so sorry for spam liking your content but i just discovered your account and absolutely love your art style and your art!!!!! obsessed with the way u draw all the characters (and love the amount of finnick and annie content 😭😭)

MAJOR SOTR SPOILERS

I feel like most stories I've seen that tackle the topic of propaganda always show the dangers of it in a similar way. They show blatant displays of violence that are hidden away from the people

But in Panem, violence is the point. So how does SOTR show the dangers of propaganda?

A) They cover up The Capitol's incompetence. (D12's Reaping, The Tribute Parade, Louella's death, Lou Lou being a real slap-dash solution, Haymitch being able to break parts of the arena, tributes finding and killing low rank game makers in the arena)

and B) Erasing any memory of the solidarity between the districts, and the strength it gives them. Mainly in the way Haymitch's games were edited to erase the Newcomers- an alliance between EIGHT DISTRICTS. (Some might say it failed, but a lot of those kids survived longer and were a little less scared because of it and that matters.) And by making Haymitch seem like he's the victor because he only played for himself (aka that's the only way to survive-forced individualism)

Found out their ship name is Seblaine (and also that that's a couple from Glee too? idk I never watched it)

a while back i posted screenshots of a conversation with a demi friend who afaik is otherwise cishet and extremely not on tumblr. i guess he's just gonna be a recurring character on this blog.

here is me (badly) explaining the deal with unicorns and dragons to him, and a message he had for acespecs in response.

make armadillo ace a thing. do it for him.

being asexual and having your favorite characters always be hot men is wild sometimes because i go on a character tag just wanting to see posts blorbo-ifying finnick and talking about what a good character he is and stuff but instead it’s just. entirely smut.

SOTR Spoilers Ahead:

I've seen a couple of posts now about people's suspicion over The Capitol being able to find a girl that could replace Louella as fast as they did, especially after finding out Lou Lou's from District 11

But I'm gonna be honest, when I found out she was from District 11, it actually put a lot of the pieces together for me. My mind immediately went to Seeder, the D11 female victor in Catching Fire

If its been a second since you've read CF here's her description:

She looks like she could be from the seam. I wouldn't be surprised if Seeder's description is the reason SC chose D11 for Lou Lou tbh.

Also for making their faces match, I've always just kinda assumed fast fashion cosmetic surgery is common place for The Capitol so there's probably plenty of surgeons able to do the job quickly and well enough to pass her off as Louella to anyone who didn't know her.

And it’s not like they did a particularly clean job at it either. Their “solution” was so incredibly slapped together and messy (And that’s HORRIFIC because we’re talking about a CHILD). She’s hooked up to drugs 24/7, which could easily be ripped out, manipulated, etc. and also make her barely able to function and causes more problems for the Capitol than not. One thing that’s brought up over and over in sotr is the Capitol’s gross incompetence, but because of they’re good at propaganda, you wouldn’t realize it. Lou Lou’s another example of that

(Also....Seeder's in her 60s in CF...meaning she would have been a victor and, I dunno, old enough to have a 13 year old by the 50th Hunger Games...I'M NOT SAYING SHE'S LOU LOU'S MOM I'm just saying the timeline lines up weirdly well)

Hey realized I hadn’t mentioned it officially on here

But I’m now publishing a comic on Webtoon!

I know I’ve talked about it before but that was a WHILE ago so sorry for advertising again

It’s called Little Fawn. It’s a Snow White retelling about the huntsman deciding to risk himself and go with Snow White to protect her from both the queen and the forest. It’s centered around found family- especially between the huntsman and Snow who he becomes a father to. I’d like to say it’s very sweet and cute but it’s been pretty dark so far so be aware of that going in 🥲 (there will be a lot of light moments! But the start of Snow White isn’t exactly the cheeriest in any adaptation)

It’s officially up to 4 chapters as I’m writing this so please check it out if that sounds at all interesting!

Yeah! I feel the the berries tie them all together in a way that's not talked about as much as I wish it was.

Also YES! His arm was intentional for that exact reason! I'm so happy all the little details I put in are coming through!!
