‘FORCE SENSITIVITY;’

padmé, as any woman during pregnancy, undergoes some radical transformations while carrying her children. only these transformations are heightened by an effect of the force-laden midi-clorians within the twin embryos. walking visions, sleepwalking manifestations of the force, the experienced agony as her body starts to react against these midi-chlorians — these occurrences shake padmé to the very bone. anakin? on mustafar? just a d r e a m. when she can’t make sense of what’s happening, she turns to her husband. – yet she almost wishes to see … what obi-wan would advise …

I’m excited to see Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm. I love how they made Sue Storms powers look like a rainbow.

Me, a fanfic reader who can survive off nothing but just words and day dreams herself to sleep:

❛ this fear you feel? it won’t last. ❜ from the darker vibes sentence starters 👉👈

࿐ from sentence starters &. accepting! * @corriinos

sucking in a shaky breath, swallowing the hard lump in her throat. fear swirling butterflies in her belly. ❝ you're right... i just gotta be strong. ❞ the songbird reminds herself, strong – strength is something she keeps forgetting that resides deeply inside her. the reminder coming from someone else is something lucy gray counts herself lucky for, because she NEEDED it. to remember who she is– despite her fear. ❝ thank you, darlin'. ❞ the brunette warmly responds, despite fear etching her dark brows into a worried crease. ❝ and i'm here for you, too. i want you to know that. ❞ small hand taking her friends, they'll walk together. hopefully she can return the reassurance she's given her.

the ballad of songbirds and snakes; lucy gray's perspective

something something about white being the colour of authority : the white Peacekeeper uniforms, "white-coated assistants" (p83), "trainers in fitted white jumpsuits" (p130), "Gamemakers draped in snowy gowns" (p132), the Heavensbee's "white marble building" (p153).

something something about Snow targeting the Covey by making black the D12's colour in the Quell, when he knows how much they love their colours. and how little mention there is of vibrant colours in D12, where everything is faded and covered in coal dust. it's almost like wearing colours in itself is an act of rebellion by the covey (and lenore dove especially):

"... [Lenore Dove's] faded overalls and shirts concealed snips of color, a bright blue handkerchief pecking from her pocket, a raspberry ribbon stitched inside her cuff." (sotr p16) "Her in a faded green dress, an ivory ribbon tying back her hair, lips tinted orange." (sotr p18)

+ LD's bright orange paint she uses to write rebellious slogans

something something about dividing the colours between the districts, so that there cannot ever be another rainbow ruffle dress.

bonus: the tributes colors in the second quell
