"The show's not over until the mockingjay sings," she said. "The mockingjay?" He laughed. "Really, I think you're just making these things up." "Not that one. A mockingjay's a bonafide bird," she assured him. "And it sings in your show?" he asked. "Not my show, sweetheart. Yours. The Capitol's, anyway."

another starter? its more likely than you think! || @fellandfeathers

SCALES SCRAPE AND SLITHER against bark as the red belly of a massive serpent closes in on its prey, mindful of the leaves to keep its approach near-silent. It's near-silent because birds and animals scurry out of its path with the nature they were imbued with upon their VERY RECENT CREATION.

As it hones in on its unsuspecting victim, a black forked-tongue greets the air and an uncontrollable hiss emits from the creature. The painfully familiar smell of DIVINITY contracts the pupils of the snake to almost imperceptible slits that drown in pools of MOLTEN GOLD.

Its the smell that has it finally lowering from the sturdy branch to STRIKE. It doesn't strike with its dripping fangs, though, no.

It strikes with A GREETING.

Tbh I never read that far in DOTC but I heard so much about star flower from fandom that now hearing about it directly from you I feel so cheated. I was promised a femme fatale.. tho in hindsight considering how much these writers hate women I probably shouldn't have gotten my hopes up

I WISH we got a femme fatale. It would have been incredibly cathartic for her to make herself alluring to Clear Sky, turning his worst traits against him and getting both power and revenge. For Thunder to bond to her over it, reaching the conclusion in the end that they both had terrible parents that they need to reject.

but, knowing the Erins, they would have just had Clear Sky kill her violently and gratuitously for ever tricking him. Like how he gouged Willow Tail's eyes out. So... I guess we were doomed either way.

Anyway im cooking

#Bone babble #Anyway yeah. I dont recommend reading further it's bad. #It's bad enough in books 1 - 3 knowing where it's all going and that every woman is going to die violently for male arcs #But 4 - 6 are just infuriating #Read Book 4 for One Eye and change the ending to snake killing clear sky and that's the ideal experience #''Im so glad that this is all over and ive learned nothing.'' #And then Snake's paw makes contact with Clear Sky's face and the ending music cuts in #Lmaooooo Jojo's Roundabout cuts in #I want to thread a needle on Starf being a victim like in canon BUT ALSO allowing her to be the badass I think she should have been #Because like. I love her and feel for her as is in-canon #But my strong opinion is that she SHOULD have gotten violent moments and done REAL messy things #Unlike canon which equates her doing literally NOTHING wrong with Clear murdering 3 women and shoving his kid's face in a wound

More fun neon stuff. I based Atli on some vampire lore I had already made for an AU of Herman, so they both have the snake thing going on. I just went orange with Atli instead of cotton candy pink and blue.

One of my recents works. This piece was inspired by an image from that old 60’s documentary, “Holy Ghost People”. I took a few liberties and added the kudzu vines.

Sci sorry it's me again the shit asker anon, another question, you ever have hiccups when you eat? Apparently you shouldn't eat while your having hiccups, cause it's like, a choking hazard or sumthin, not me tho I'm built different like that, but don't eat while you have hiccups is the moral I guess

i haven't had hiccups since i was 12 years old but i guess that's good to know

#i'm sure there's a better place you can go with these sorts of messages. some health thread or something but. okay. #sci speaks #i've always been a very slow eater who paces themselves. so i don't get hiccups. my dad gets hiccups all the time when he eats #and i know it's because he ingests everything like a snake

doing my research data entry, listening to Stars's album No One Is Lost which was (and especially the titular, final song, was) my big Widowtracer music back when I was into Overwatch. And that is reminding me of how much what I liked about the Overwatch characters and lore was stuff that I made up - not even, necessarily, stuff the fandom made up (which was most of it - Overwatch lore was not good) but my own idiosynctratic preferences for ship dynamics.

At least I was into Reaper76 in the same way a lot of other people were, and Reaper/76/Ana the way a few of my other friends were. McHanzo and McGenji were hit-or-miss, McCree (back when he was McCree) & Pharah's sibling relationship prevalent but rarely a focus. But I never really found a lot that satisfied me about Widowmaker/Tracer, because I had such a specific view of what I wanted from them. One I made up because there really was not much there at all.

What I liked about the idea of them was Tracer moving fast staying bright in an attempt to outrun fear and fatalism and collapse by being aggressively optimistic; contrasted against Widowmaker who had accepted it all dully. Tracer desperate to prove that there was something left of Amelie in there, that she could be brought back. That she could be saved. That no one is lost. Proof that things could be okay in the wake of a shakeup in her world order that cast her adrift. That her world could make sense again.

Thinking about it, I'm continuously compelled by characters who are projecting their issues all over each other; especially in the manner of, I feel lost, hopeless, hurt, terrible, irredeemable. I don't believe I have a future, or can ever change, or have a place anymore, or atone for what I did, or can come back from this, or can be loved, or can be saved. But you're in a way worse mess than me, so I'm making it my project to save you, because if I can prove you can... that you can be better, that you can have a future, that you can belong, that you can atone, that you can be loved, that you can be saved... then maybe I can, too. I have to believe that, and that's why I believe in you when you've been written off and have written yourself off. And I'm going to keep reaching out.

And then I discovered Metal Gear Solid and it had a lot of the character dynamics I liked in my made-up headcanon Overwatch actually present in the text. I didn't have to make it up, it was actually there and intentionally and competently written. I was still kind of reading this dynamic into Snake and Meryl (still convinced they were projecting their issues about being loved and being abandoned all over each other in MGS1 and mistaking that for attraction) but a lot of what I liked about Reaper76 and McGenji and McHanzo and stuff was just... there.

And then I got into Wolf 359 where this redemption-by-proxy projection is just straight up textually what's happening between Eiffel and Hilbert. So: getting into fandoms for better written things with what I actually wanted in them is part of the solution here.

But also it was my Widowtracer experience that made me go, I am basically just making up my own character goals and interactions here. Why am I bothering to make it fanwork when it's basically an original story.

I never did put that anywhere. But women desperate to save each other, women desperate to prove they can be saved by saving each other, and women who have the nagging fear that they were wrong doing the evil version of this and trying to seek vindication and absolution through each other do crop up again and again in my imagination. Maybe I should pin that down sometime and give my headcanon Widowtracer the story they deserve.

#Maybe they can be in my clone generation ship that already has characters that started as expies of Naomi Hunter and Emma Emmerich #Two other characters I love who deserved a better story #Mara Fischer and Emmerson Kendrick you will always be famous. To Me. #... desperately trying to believe there's something worth living for is a big generation ship mood. hmmmm #Artemis rambles #midnight thoughts about what I like out of characters and stories #also someone tell me to write up my thoughts about Snake and Meryl in MGS1 because I think it only exists in twitter thread format #Overwatch #sorta
