the hunger games au! anakins confidence! obi-wan being the mentor! the fact that they’re together BEFORE anakin even gets picked!

poor robin tho lol :( but you know the games go on for like 12 hours longer while Anakin waits for someone else to kill her. In theory it’s because of his ruse with the capital, but it’s definitely just for obi-wan. So really, obi-wan did help her live longer than she would have otherwise, from a certain point of view.

also obi-wan definitely finds it romantic that anakin let someone else kill her & rewards him for it after the games ;)

(also for a sec i thought maybe the other girl would be padme & maybe anakin used to like her and is briefly sad & padme is a master manipulator and makes obi-feel like shit for choosing to let her die (making anakin hate her lol) and also making obi-wan feel super insecure about the ruse and also maybe really petty and bitchy? and she’s also really popular in the capital and canon padme isn’t a terrible fighter either)(maybe padme pretends to be (or is) pregnant and she pretends their anakins and obi-wan is SO insecure and/or seeing red)

lmao sorry for the massive ask the hunger games awaken something terrible in me

oo i think maybe a braver writer would probably have made anakin's other tribute padmé, and i guess there's still time for that, but i didn't want to for a couple of reasons, hence using a made up oc instead

i think the tug of guilt obi-wan would feel over having a preferred victor (anakin) and giving them both trainings but then really carefully only campaigning for sponsors to take a look at anakin, not the other tribute.....because anakin needs funds for a blanket, anakin needs food, obi-wan is watching anakin suffer and any second he may have to watch him die.... he feels guilty about the other tribute but he cannot watch anakin die....like that's enough guilt for obi-wan, i don't think specifically padmé could make him feel worse

also i think another reason i didn't choose padmé was because i didn't want anyone to think anakin used to like her lol this anakin is not normal this anakin is a creep this anakin was like. fourteen, saw obi-wan being all pathetic and sad and decided if obi-wan wasn't going to take advantage of him anakin was going to take advantage of obi-wan, worm his way into his confidences and affections and then never ever leave like this is not a boy who had a crush on any sort of padmé amidala he would not be sad he is not capable of being sad about the other tribute this is not a normal dude and tbh its easier to just. not have her in the story than to push back against that all the time

or i think i'd have her as part of the capitol who works with obi-wan to overturn palpatine once the rebellion is going on, but i think she would find anakin off-putting because he's 100% creep but not a creep who is in love with her and it just actually makes her uncomfortable to be in a room with him. asks obi-wan to blink twice if he needs rescuing. obi-wan blinks a lot of times because he's confused as to how anyone could ever need saving from anakin

anakin wouldn't hurt a fly

Fabric stores are so fucking awesome like I get to buy obscure fabric used to keep mosquitoes from getting through the windows and hear old ladies telling the people cutting fabric all their secrets

Where do Boreas and Zephyr end up in the off the string Ancients au after getting off the string?

well, assuming that Euros and Sparrows manage to find Boreas before he fucks off on the journey to Zeph alone or Desaevio Houses manage to catch him, the three would make the journey to her together and with Sparrows bein the only one with a place to go, she'd suggest coming over to her home at least until they figure out smth better

fuckin... Euros tryin to rope the other two into the joys of baby sitting.. Boreas constantly smacks his head on doorways. Inferno gives Boreas a fucking shotgun n starts teaching him how to use it while Sparrows, very conscious of the religious importance of Iterators, is just lookin behind them like 👀💦 Inkling would get along with Zephyr WONDERFULLYYYYYY,, would try to teach her how work around the house despite her disabilities so she would Finally get to do smth else than just sit and cling on to survival. Boreas n granda glaring at each other from the other sides of a room as if one of them isn't alive strictly because of spite

they lose Brook and everybody is trying so hard to find her and at the end it turns out that she somehow managed to hide under Boreas' chlamys and has been clinging on to his back for a solid hour now. no he did not know about this

at the end of it all Sparrows family would get together and probably renovate some house from beyond the retaining walls of Euros' facilities where the Gen 1s could hide away, because ultimately Zeph n B need to stay a secret more than Euros himself. about Euros people already know! and at least he's still within his own walls. but Zeph is supposed to be a secret and B is so damnably important as a bearer of the capital city, that if they were found out the family would get into a lot of trouble

so the aged humidifiers get to have a lil dwelling in the forests nearby, seems like! <3

i am so tired of seeing an immediate wave of complaints every time an ancient comes out can you guys chill for two seconds

I cared. I still do. I still think of you and I still cry over you. You were importat to me. You still are.

We can’t get a functional healthcare system or a solution to school shootings or a federal minimum wage above the poverty line or the fucking ability to expel actual fucking nazis from our congress but somehow we can get a near unanimous vote to equate antizionism with antisemitism, something that is only going to harm Jewish people even more than they already are. What a joke country this is

How about Eenek's family for blorbo meme? If it is ok

hiii of course its ok!! had a lot of fun making these<3

thanks for the ask bestie<33

I’m guessing the reason Adam had a falling out with Colleen is because he’s chosen to blame Sam and Matt for Shiro going on the Kerberos mission and dying.

Adam probably figures, maybe subconsciously, that if he doesn’t blame them for pulling Shiro away from him, Adam would have to blame himself for Shiro’s death. He pushed Shiro away and onto the Persephone.

It makes sense in a way. When people die, especially in sudden and unexpected ways, people often look for someone or something to blame, even if it was a complete accident or random chance.

Adam certainly doesn’t want to blame Shiro. So the only other people who could take the blame for his lover’s death are either Sam and Matt, the people who filled Shiro’s head with dreams and pulled him into the stars, or Adam himself, who held onto Shiro so tightly he ended up pushing his lover away and into the inky abyss of space, to never see him again.

that definitely is an aspect of it, yes!! though it's a bit more complicated than that, as things like this tend to be. and while we know that adam has a tendency to push everyone away when he's hurting (like he's doing rn with gold flight), in this case the falling out actually wasn't one-sided; colleen has beef with adam, adam has beef with colleen, they're both grieving, they're both very strong personalities that clash even in the best of circumstances, and the result is the Falling Out. I'm keeping things vague on purpose because it'll all be revealed later, but in this case adam actually isn't the only one lashing out and causing friction. for once lmao

Think about making art book/song/whatever about to deal with your isolation and feeling like not understood all the time and wanting to belong and be normal andddd ;

... you became so famous and popular and your fans start to idolise you and talk like you are a god and you become some kind of a mainstream trend, some concept. And it's not even you or what you try to make people think about you. They talk about you and your feelings like you are a fictional character.

I hate how people treat artists. And I hate celebrity culture.

finding out how my friends and i had our little gay awakening is so funny

Been reading a lot of entries/pins on queering up the map lately and just.

Im learning 5 days is apparently the maximum amount of time I can spend in this stupid backwards-ass place before I start to get really bitchy and just want to gtfo as quickly as possible

there’s this bts podcast that every now and then i listen to an episode or two of and the girls are way too nice and genuine for my cynical industry soul but i give them leeway bc they seem very sweet BUT. im listening to their album review of jack in the box and they did an entire lyric breakdown of equal sign and didn’t mention gay rights even once and im not saying they had to but they talked about literally every other injustice in the world that it could be referring to and didn’t even ALLUDE to it being about sexuality EVEN WHEN THEY READ THE LINE “LOOKING FOR LOVE IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT” LADIES…………HELLO???????

dude ive been like hella depressed over how my teachers and adults treated me like shit or were hard on me as a kid or had no sympathy for me not because there was something wrong with me but because they were racist

i think its kind of funny that most of the sandman fan content right now seems to be dream x hob (no offense but i just dont see it.) bc honestly there is always So Much Going On in the sandman that shipping is the last thing on my mind
