So this is my idea of what the afterlife would look like for Everlark (this is a very rough draft) -

Katniss, as an old lady, smiling as she talks with a young man in a brown leather jacket & a short whisp of a woman in a colourful dress.

A woman with curly hair decorated with flowers (every kind except white roses) & a brown eyed boy are deep in conversation.

Prim & Rue (who also have flowers decorating their hair - for Rue it's the ones she was "burried" with & for Prim it's the ones Peeta planted by Katniss's house) are playing with Buttercup & Lady as their mother's (one of which looks much younger then she did in Katniss's lifetime) watch on fondly.

Old man Peeta suddenly strolls into the clearing with an, old, Delly laughing & talking as they carry baskets of freshly baked goods. Madge gives a wave & a smile then goes back to trying to teach Delly's brother how to play the recorder.

The woman talking with Katniss & the man in the leather jacket stop when Peeta approaches, let's out a squeaky laugh at his apology before going to join the conversation between the curly haired woman & the brown eyed boy.

Peeta puts down his basket to hug Katniss & the man in the leather jacket smiles & kisses her forehead before heading to where his wife is.

Peeta asks her where the others are, to which she says Haymitch & his GF went to visit Mayslee, Hazelle had left to catch up with her family & Greasy Sae went to spend time with Ripper.

Peeta was disappointed as he'd just finished making a strawberry tart that would have been a perfect dessert for Madge's father & Katniss lovingly reminds him that Madge can take it with her whenever she leaves.

Then Mags & Finnick show up, by climbing out of a lake, with a young Annie (they're both dressed in their wedding clothes). Peeta & Katniss congratulates her on reuniting with Finnick again & on all she's accomplished in her life after they left, explaining that Finnick & Mags weren't the only ones checking up on her from this place.

That wether it was from Peeta's kitchen window, Katniss's lake, the puddles Haymitch's geese loved to splash around in, the throats of the Mockingjays or Finnick's & Mags's dreams. Everyone had seen, heard or felt the best & worst parts of her life without them & had just been waiting for her to finally be able to join them.

Mags (now free of the effects of her stroke) gose to join in the conversation between the short, whisp of a woman, the lady with the curly flowery hair & the brown eyed boy, who'd began feeding bread crumbs to a flock of Mockingjays.

Finnick smiles lovingly at Annie as she burst into tears when, later in the evening, Joahnna trudges into the clearing, plops down in front of the fire & deposits a bag of shells she'd "happened to stumble upon" in her lap which Annie & Peeta deside to set aside to paint/turn into jewellery later.

Much to everyones delight, Mr Everdeen opens one of the baskets & pulls out the ingredients to make smores. Then when eveyones nice & full him, Lucy & Maude strike up a song. Peeta eventually gets Katniss to join in, which makes her dad smile, her mum cry, Prim (with Buttercup on her lap & Lady at her feet) & Rue cheer, Joahnna wolf whistle & everyone else laugh & clap along.

When the fire finally dies out & the only light left comes from the moon & fire flys most of the people start saying their farewells & heading to their own "places" until its only Katniss, Peeta, her family, a young Haymitch & his family left.

At that point they all walk to what would be the Victors village in the real world (but there is no gate, the houses aren't run down & the path to get there is covered in flowers & beatiful wildlife).

Once outside his home, Haymitch says a hasty goodbye to Katniss & Peeta before him & his younger brother are battling to see who can make it through the door first (much to their mother's exasperation).

Katniss & Peeta then go to drop the Everdeens at their house that has a plant shop downstairs & leave just as Prim is begging Mrs Everdeen to allow Rue to sleep over the next day to which she replys 'if her mother allows it' (Katniss of course dose not leave without giving her dad & sister a big hug while her mother settles for a kiss on the cheek).

Katniss & Peeta then make their way to where Katniss's childhood home once recided (though much cleaner & warmer than it had ever been when she'd actually lived there & now with a rather nice kitchen).

As Buttercup curls up at the foot of their bed (she & Prim take it in turns who he stays the night with) & the two lovebirds get ready for bed Katniss turns to her husband.

'I want a night with the girl's tomorrow,' she says. 'I thought you might,' says Peeta with a smile. 'I'll be younger....for a bit,' Katniss decides. 'So will I, probably,' says Peeta. 'Oh?' Asks Katniss, curious. 'I was thinking of visiting my family for a few hours,' he admits. 'That's great, just don't let your mother-'. 'I won't, I promise'. Katniss still dosn't look sure. 'Tell you what if she says anything even remotely passive aggressive, I'll leave straight away & just hang out with Haymitch & Finnick for the day?'. 'Good, it's just'. 'I know'. 'I don't ever want you feeling bad about yourself again, not here'. 'Don't worry, this place is good, we'll always be safe here'. 'Like in our cave?' She asks fondly. 'Even better,' he insists as he wraps his arms around her small but plump frame. 'How long do you think it'll take for the others to come, do you think?'. 'Not for a long time, hopefully,' he responds & she sighs. 'You're right, I guess I just miss hugging my babies,' she admits. 'I know, my little swamp potato,' he teases making Katniss sit up with a blush. 'Oh, I should never have taught you about plants!' She seeths making her husband laugh, dissolving her anger as quickly as it had come but also waking Buttercup with a hiss. 'Ok, ok, we'll quieten down, you silly old thing,' she muttered. 'Hey, be nice to your sister's cat,' Peeta teased again. 'His both of ours now,' she reminded him primly before sticking her tounge out. 'Ok, you got me there, but we really should go to sleep now, we both have big plans tomorrow afterall,' Peeta says, through a yawn. Katniss nods sleepily as he turns off the bedside lamp & the two cuddle up beneath the covers.

'I guess waiting for them here isn't really the worst thing in the world,' Katniss admits. '& why is that sweetheart?' Ask Peeta, curious. 'Back....before there was no guarantees, everything....so rushed & fragile, so likley to go wrong'. She says, starting to sweat. 'Ah huh' agrees Peeta patiently. 'But here it's' she stops. 'Different?' he asks gently. Katniss nods aggressively into his chest, wrinkly hands suddenly gripping one of his dad's old shirts he'd decided to wear tonight. 'We've got forever now right?', she whispers, like a kid who's scared their wish won't come true. ''That's real ok, please believe that," Peeta assures her as he strokes her back, leaning down to kiss her as soon as she lifts her face from his chest.

When Buttercup next wakes, it's to his parents holding hands & smiling as they dream of good things to come.

Here’s some tweets from Doc Wyatt’s Twitter, answering a question from a fan about the old storylines of Ninjago and their possible inclusion in dragons rising.

The question was:

“Hi Doc, Could Anything that had Wasted Potential Get Some Light in this New Series of Ninjago.

There was More Questions then Answers in the Shows old Show.

#DragonsRising [insert: a picture of Jay’s birth mother]”

Doc’s response was:

“A fair question. As Asa said, we're trying to make a show that new viewers, or kids watching for the first time, can understand without having to know 14 or 15 seasons of lore to follow the story.

But that said, it's also vital we honor the storytelling history that made Ninjago great. So yes, we'll be picking up some story threads from the classic series (no spoilers about which ones).

But we're going to need to build to them. Ninjago is, and always has been, a story that unfolds over time. The first Ninjago saga took 12 years to tell.

I'm not saying Dragons Rising will go for that long (I have no idea how long it will run) but if you don't see your favorite storyline immediately picked up on June 1st (or in fall 23) don't think it never will be. Ninjago is a world, not a single season”

(My own commentary under the cut)

…so essentially it is very possible that old storylines are going to be picked up, or at least, Ninjago is keeping their options open.

The trailers show that dragons rising is already paying homage to much of ninjago’s worldbuilding, with the inclusions/mentions/cameos of:

The realm of madness from season 1

The cloud kingdom from season 5

Various races (who have now fully integrated into ninjago’s general public) such as the hypnobrai (s1), whack rats (12), geckles and munce (13), merlopians (Seabound) and possibly nindroids

Ghosts from the departed realm have also been seen in the Lego sets

The concept of Elemental masters is acknowledged

All I’m saying is that there are so many more opportunities to touch upon past story beats, since every area of Ninjago is easily accessible now. That means the first realm, the never realm, the cursed realm, the underworld, djinnjago - they’re all revisitable!

And personally I would be willing to wait 12 years if it means the writers can come up with a good way of reintroducing any of the old concepts. I don’t wanna get my hopes up but just think of the possibilities!

#bro I can’t with the ‘use the tags’ prompt everytime I go to write a post - I wanna write the contents of the post first and it’s distractin #like past elemental masters might be talked about #jays mum jays mum jays mum #ninjago #ninjago dragons rising #Ninjago spoilers

Little rant about my friend and consuming media lmao

Ok how do you consume media and still have NO IDEA who even the main character's name is? I recommended tma and bsd to a friend - well he started both. I ask him about it - like who his favourite character is or what he thinks of it - and he's so.... Confused almost? Like he just shrugged and said that he actually had no idea what was going on - which ok is kinda fair with bsd but like. you know the characters at least. Each one of them is introduced in some dramatic way, you can't MISS any of that and surely there's at least one character that gets your attention/that you relate to/that you find interesting. I mean ok maybe you forget the name or sth, but you at least remember the characters when I describe them to you, right? But no, my friend had no idea who for example Dazai was - DAZAI?! Like. What???? Or Atsushi.. the fucking main character???? Or chuuya???? Or - anyone??? I was so perplexed. How can you watch something and still have no idea about what you're watching?

The same happened with tma. I recommended it, he listened to the first few episodes. I asked him what he thought of Jon. HE DIDN'T KNOW WHO JON WAS I MEAN WHAT???? Oh idk he's just the guy reading the fucking statements. Before every statement he says "audio recording by Jonathan Sims" like how can you... miss that?

Idk, am I just consuming media so intensely or is he just... I don't even know.... Disinterested in engaging with the media one is consuming? It's not even that he doesn't like it. I asked him and he said it was good. But what exactly does he find good when he has no idea about. like. anything.

#vent post #personal #ranted to my mum about it as well and she said it might be bc he's stoned out of his ass the whole time #hhhhh #but i think more and more people don't have media literacy anymore #like they don't consume media critically they just watch whatever gets their attention first #it feels so dystopian....#like wasting your time on those types of media just so that you're passing the time and not engaging with it #idk if that makes sense #i think I'm kinda hurt as well bc i thought we could talk about these series together #i even watched some of the things he enjoyed but he doesn't have a clue about them either #he always says that i become the “expert” on those mediums anyways so he doesn't have sth to add to the conversation #but that's not at all what i want? like I'm not the expert of anything i just want to talk about what he enjoys #and maybe get him to talk about things i enjoy as well #this all feels so bitchy I'm so sorry #ok rant over ig #thank you for reading all of that🙏💕

it's so funny to me when people bitch about the hobbit movies in like, a genuine manner because it's like. obviously, they're no the lord of the rings, and yeah there definitely is a whole bunch of stuff you can criticize from the very loose adaptation to pacing or development of side characters etc etc yada yada yada. but also. they're still better movies than 75% of stuff people lose their minds over on here including myself so i'm always just... yeah that's fair and taste differs and what have you but also i cannot take you seriously if you treat it like some huge sin against cinema i'm so sorry

#mona rambles #THIS IS VERY LIGHT-HEARTED. just saying #you can like whatever you want and dislike whatever you want i'm not your mum #but also i said what i said ykwim like #generally some of that might be due to the fact that I'm principally pretty generous with adaptations #(not talking about persuasion 2023 or rw*rb movie just so we're clear)#but also i just think like.... they're not perfect movies by any stretch but you're whining about. like. soup #it's not a gourmet meal but it's still better than most other food ykwim #ANYWAY #*mine

No one:

Literally no one:

Lily's Garden: In the garden there is a secret underground temple made by an old secret group who fought corruption (but now are a chess society), two of Lily's friends accidentally got stuck in the temple, the cat (who may or may not be a reincarnation of the great grandmother) showed Lily how to rescue them.

They have now deliberately trapped a potential secret agent down there to find out why he's been spying on them.

#mate the storylines are actually legit #im having a great time #its actually a really wholesome and intresting game story wise like theres a bit of the bestie #realising she might be queer but worrying if shes 'too old' to be figuring stuff like that out in her 30s or if its just for teens #and then the MUM character rocks up like bruh theres no time line - shes also the one that was like ...have you considered you might be #gay or bi? and the mum is cannonically bi too #also an evil capitalist great uncle is trying to steal my land to make a golf course EVEN THOUGH A GOLFING ACCIDENT GAVE HIS BROTHER A #BRAIN INJURY AND DEMENTIA LIKE WTF #wild times - also one of the lawyers is an old man who causes chaos talks in riddles and just takes naps everywhere #he is yoda coded fr fr #lilys garden #did i make a post about some random mobile game?

Never felt more that i am indeed not in my twenties anymore scrolling through astarions actors tag and seeing people talk about how OLD he is at 42 and that he is older than their parents

And my brain is like:

"Your parents are just 42? And you are old enough type entire sentences on the internet. I am impressed and surprised."

#talking lurker #for contexts my 3 siblings are all ovdr 40 #and yes the one who is 42 oldest child might be 17 now #and can also type entire sentences on the internet but is still feels fake tbh #but in the life spann of a human being 42 adult but it is not old #is not old age eveb though #i understand at 18 it feels that way #but mum tries to explain this to my nephew sometimes about his father #being “you father is still young it is ok and normal that he has still not found the job path that works for him #he is not odd for changing his mind about what he wanna work with every 10th year #my nephew is btw not convinced about this argument lol #but mum is right in this i think

YOU HYPOCRITICAL LITTLE BITCH #ironically i had a field day with it like her saying that was the worst thing she could have done #latched onto it like a bloodhound fr my eyes must have lit up #i was like 'dont be such a baby' which is basically a fucking trigger word in our house #thought she was gonna hit me with a spade <3 peace and love on planet earth #godddddd i cant wait for her to go back to uni i HATE sharing a room i cannot escape her she's literally here as i type #i hope she knows im slagging her off to my niche online micro-community #hella goes home

trying to get better is so fucking frustrating

#i will do it. because i owe it to myself and i also want to do it partially out of spite. fuck them for thinking that i wouldnt get anywhere #it’s also like. doing this is making me change. realising more of my self worth is making me change. thinking more about my words and #actions is making me change. all of this is making me into a new version of myself. and it’s not a bad version or a worse version but it is #different. the hardest thing is going to be setting boundaries because i have people in my life that need to work through their own stuff #and i know setting boundaries might hurt them but also it needs to be done #ive been talking to my mum a lot and it’s just been nice in a lot of ways. i’m more honest now about some of my boundaries #but i can also talk through things with her that ive realised recently. and holy shit have i realised a lot #it’s a process. it’s frustrating and it sucks but it’s not as and it needs to be done #that last tag was supposed to be ‘it’s not bad’ not ‘it’s not as’. oops

Ppl talk about dad lore but never mum lore,

We're driving home from somewhere and talking about sports she played and she offhandedly mentions that she technically usurped the niece of, I cannot remember his name, very famous Dracula actor, in her school volleyball team, and then goes off topic to inform me that he doted on his niece, and never had any children, and then clarified that she meant she suspected he was gay, to which i had to inform her that i did know what she meant, as I have eyes

#which was not as wild as the time she told me my uncle offered to have her her ex husband killed #along with *if hed been talking about the second one i might have said yes*#or when she mentioned it again a couple months later with the additional information of uncle ray offering to knee cap him #interesting woman my mum
