here!

it's mostly a cashmere piece but there's a bit with her and dexter that i really like

Then I saw THIS photos which kind of gave that Darkling vibe (lololol hilarious description for Creed or Joseph):

So I looked more and I think he is probably my own closest personal face-claim? I don't picture them as identical in my head but he is the base I use that I build my mental Joseph off of.

oh my gosh what an image. it might have to be giant golden retriever jock girl just because i cannot imagine petra choosing a boy (at least her first time out) but who knows! who knows. cracking me up tho

honestly petra mentoring is such a never-happens au for me that i legit have no idea what she'd even look for. no clue!! even without the trauma she's so adult-oriented that imagining her interacting with anyone younger is bizarre.

(i think one of the main reasons it's hard is that it requires an au where the rebellion REALLY fails, bc petra would need like ... 5 years, at least, before she's ready to do it, and that means the games have to keep going, and i'm like, eeeeehhh......... lol)

A) Joseph and Jake (MC) have both lived their lives in a violent, brutal world and it has left them TERRIFIED of losing their sons. Specifically terrified that they will disobey an order and it will get them killed. Sadly, the way they handle this is very harmful to their sons. Jake is not an abusive dad like Joseph, but he does drive them both extremely hard and you can see how badly it impacts them both, especially his younger son (Lo’ak) who cannot live up to his expectations like his older brother (Neteyam). He literally has those boys calling him “sir” more than “dad” and you can see the toll it takes on Lo’ak. It reminds me of a less extreme Joseph in many ways.

B) The sons are extremely close and the eldest brothers are very devoted to their youngest. Neteyam however, is the golden son who Lo’ak can never seem live up to and this does cause some resentment between them at times, much like Creed and Alec

B.2) Neteyam and Creed are the same character. Full stop. Equally noble, equally devoted, equally self sacrificing, and equally DOOMED by the narrative.

C) Their worst fears DO come true. They both lose their eldest son (and golden child) to the violence they were desperate to save them from. Neither of them cope well and both fathers take it out on their younger son in *devastating* ways. Both Lo’ak and Alec are also left shattered by their own grief.

D) Neytiri, Neteyam’s mother and Jake’s wife grieves heavily and is consumed by fury. She becomes even more warlike and bitter, falling back into her warrior headspace to hit back and the people who took her eldest son. This reminds me strikingly of Adora’s grief and how much more hardened and unwilling to surrender she is shown to be after the rebellion.

E) Honestly, Neytiri in general just reads to me as Adora but…blue. They are the same woman in different universes and you cannot convince me otherwise. From the first movie when she is a young woman and seems so much like how you described a young adult Adora right through to the final as a grieving mother at war, they are so similar. Her marriage with Jake and their utter devotion/loyalty also reminds me of Joseph + Adora. Also both objectively more terrifying than their husbands and absolutely run their shit.

Anyways, that was the nerdiest rant of all time but I was curious if you’d watched the movies/found the same!

i saw the first one when it came out! everyone around me was getting high in theatres and declaring it a Transcendental Experience, and i decided that was enough for me. unless james cameron wishes to pay me 5 million in small bills for emotional damages, that is

HOWEVER this is great because now the blue man movies are actually a seward AU to me and nothing else, so thank you for this

There is a blowout argument between youngest son and father in both these stories with serious consequences that is such a painful mirror of each other.

Starting off as a relatively small disagreement (Lo’ak speaking out of turn at a council, Alec quitting the academy). Both fathers and sons are NOT in a good headspace. In part because they are both still reeling from the recent death of their sons/brothers. And because dads are internally freaking out that their youngest boy, their last boy is Disobeying Orders Again and is going to Get Himself Killed Too while their sons are just desperate to make their dad *understand* them for once.

This makes argument escalate out of control until the fathers slip up and say something truly horrible that they can’t take back. In Jospeh’s case, he reacts negatively to Alec coming out (despite the fact that he normally would not care) and tells him his lies make him no real Seward. In Jake’s, he shouts that he blames Lo’ak for his brother’s death. Both sons leave in tears.

You can see Jake immediately regret his words and fight the urge to call out an apology or go after him, and it seems to me that Joseph pretty quickly realizes what he’s done and wishes to take the words back too. But the damage is done and neither of them actually DO follow their sons. Alec cuts them off and remains estranged either for years or forever, depending on the AU. Lo’ak steals his father’s gun and plans to commit su*cide, though he ultimately chooses not go through with the impulse and is quickly caught by his sister. Both fathers lose or almost lose their last boy anyways, one way or another. And they are the ones who did it.

Selene: *On the phone* Hey Mom, do you know my blood type?

Julia: Of course, it's B-.

Selene: Oh, I guessed wrong. Excuse me, nurse-!

*Callista, after seeing a photo of Joseph and Adora in their ~prime *

Calli: Would you mind if I invited your parents over to my house for a ~private meeting~ with me?

Creed & Alec, horrified: On many levels and with great intensity.

Misha, handing out tea: Here you go. I put *some* vodka in one, whoever finds it gets a prize.

Brutus, Lyme, and Emory: ...

Devon: Don't worry, she's just messing with you.

Devon, after taking a sip of his tea and going into a coughing fit: Oh, nope, she was serious. Guess I win!

*Thinking about Adessa and Beetee*

Misha:*lying awake in bed* Is letting someone win at chess sapiosexual bottoming?

Devon: *trying to sleep* Does anyone in this godforsaken village ever think before they speak?

Selene: Name a more iconic trio than my crippling fear of abandonment, Creed’s severe PTSD, and Alec’s constant, overwhelming anxiety. I'll wait.

Alec: You … you could have just said the three of us…

Adessa: God, give me patience.

Callista: I think you mean 'give me strength'.

Adessa If God gave me strength, you'd be dead.

Devon: In my defense, I was left unsupervised.

Brutus: Wasn't Misha with you?

Misha: …In my defense, I was also left unsupervised.

Adora: yeah I'm an morosexual, I'm only attracted to dumbasses

Joseph: *Drops books, ruins beans, uses himself as bait, makes horrible dad jokes, can’t flirt to save his life*

Adora,(already unbuttoning her shirt): Dammit Joe, you're so fucking stupid

Lyme: You say "please" and "thank you" in front of your bb victors all the time and they never repeat it.

Lyme: But you say "ass-faced motherfucker" ONCE-

Ronan: One bonus of being an Adult is grossly misusing modern slang on purpose and watching the younger ones cry inside.

Ronan: A fine example - the other day I pointed at a piece of artwork and, while looking Claudius right in the eye, went, "Man is that bae or what, huh?" and the look on his face was something I will treasure for years

Emory: What are your goals in life?

Devon: Well we’ve been kicked out of every elder victor’s house at least once, except Nero’s...

Misha: We don’t know what his limit is but we will find it.

Emory: Would you slap a family member in the face for two million dollars?

Devon: I would roundhouse kick every single one of my brothers in the face for free.

Cato: ‘I’m too pretty for this’ is a very valid excuse actually.

*after pissing off Adessa*

Devon: So, our plan is to live the rest of our lives being scared of Adessa?

Misha: *scoffs* Well, that’s not the only plan

Devon:

Misha: Someday I’d like to plant a vegetable garden!

Lyme: It takes 26 muscles to smile and 62 to frown and thats why my face is fucking ripped and it will kick your ass

Sloane: Dash doesn't know I'm here so he's singing loudly in the shower, and it's cute.

Sloane: He sucks. But it's cute.

Callista: You know what they say: go big or go home!

Nero: I'm begging you, Calli, for once in your life, PLEASE go home

Callista: *whispering* I'm going big

Electra, on the phone with Lyme: he’s in the kitchen again…

Claudius, reading a recipe: “beat three eggs.” In what? Hand to hand combat?

Electra: GET. HIM. OUT.

Victor!Creed: [sneezes]

Scout!Selene, on guard duty and watching him from behind a wall: bless you

Creed: … God?

Lyme: We call that a traumatic event

Lyme, turning to Claudius: Not a "bruh moment"

Lyme, turning to Sloane: Not a "major L"

Lyme, turning to Misha: And definitely not an "OOF lmao"

Brutus: We need to distract the Threes

Claudius: Leave it to me

Claudius: Hey Eib, you know those old mythology books we read? Centaurs have six limbs. Does that mean they’re insects? Discuss.

Eibhlin and Beetee: *Immediately begin arguing*

Brutus, watching in horror: Oh this. I don't like this. I don't like this at all.

[This is from veryberryghoul]

Beetee, worried: Eibhlin is upset and I can’t get her to leave her room.

Claudius: Just tell her I said something.

Beetee: ..Such as?

Claudius: IDK just anything factually incorrect.

Eibhlin, 15 seconds later, kicking the door down: YOU THINK THE SUN IS A FUCKING  P L A N E T ????

2012 me: inventing Claudius as a random side character who annoys Loki in the Avenger Games spin-off

-In the younger AU, Julia locks Joseph + Adora in an equiptment storage room. Joseph almost pistol whips her when he gets out.

-In revenge, he steals her phone and texts Paul (who she either just started seeing or is still getting to know) "I want a baby" like that trend a few years back (PLS do yourself a favour and look it up if you don't know it). You can decide which of the viral responses Paul answers with.

-With kids, Joseph does find a bunch of horses somehow and just...only travels via equine all day for no reason with the kids in tow. Selene keeps secretly undoing the girths on both Creed and Alec's saddles. Paul gets a large donkey and I refuse to elaborate on this.

-Julia gets Joseph REALLLL drunk and there is karyoke involved. They duet a bunch of Disney songs and Joseph knows an alarming amount of "Oops I Did it Again" by heart

-Does Julia get bored in the interim and decide to paint Joseph's nails? Yes. Does he complain the whole time before ending up with the sparkly red and black polish? Also yes. He figures it'll be gone tommorow so what's the big deal? (The ONE thing that breaks the laws of this loop is that it does not, in fact, go away the next day so the rest of the story he just...has that going on and everyone refuses to acknowledge it.

-Julia gives Joseph and Adora a ship name (Josadora??? Adoseph???) and refers to the fair as such in front of absolutely everybody and this time they BOTH almost pistol whip her. But she makes it her life's MISSION to get them to kiss at least once

-Alec and Creed are FRANTICALLY panem-googling drugs that someone could have slipped their dad while he wasn't looking. Selene IS their #1 suspect for a long time

-Julia does steal the Sewards home phone and openly solicits Callista (haha you thought you escaped that other Cursed AU? Think again). He does not find out until Callista arrived at their house in full ✨gear✨ with a trunk of ✨equiptment✨. I cannot decide if it's funnier if Joseph opens the door and has a heart attack or if Creed and Alec open it and SCREECH LIKE A BANSHEE MUTT.

I can't decide if I prefer this being an annual victor's village thing in which everyone gets wayyyyy too elaborate, though admittedly much more violent than in B99 (Ronan and Adessa are tied for most wins and they both insist they are in the lead). Callista and Nero have trained her cats to assist much like Holt's corgi, Cheddar. Ronan tried this with his hounds one year only to find they are too easily bought out by treats (Devon had been bribing them with cheesy bites).

Alternatively, it's with the peacekeepers like with B99's police precinct which introduces:

A) Scout!Selene being a danger to society

B) Joseph Vs Adora Vs Paul Vs Julia showdowns that gets very out of hand very quickly (Julia is there for vibes)

C) Both of these couples pulling a "for today you are not my partner you are my worst enemy and I'll feed you to our kids (k love you bye)"

C) Alec and Creed getting roped into someone's scheme every year and all the others going on about The Betrayal By Their son/nephew/bestfriend/etc

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Some of these involve characters that were never in the same universe interacting and often isn't true to canon. It's really just based on The Vibes I get from them.

These were originally just for me, so I unfortunately didn't record the source books/shows/posts they are from.

Of course, no pressure to post this if that's not your thing! Just a thing I made for you/your friends who write in this universe.

Eibhlin: So, Marius is going out of town this weekend and wanted to know if we could take care of his baby.

Claudius: Whoa, whoa, whoa! That is a big responsibility. What do we know about children?

Alec: I'm leaving now.

Claudius, passing Alec his bag: I swear you'd lose your head if it wasn't screwed on.

Claudius, to Eibhlin: I don't know the first thing about taking care of a child.

Claudius: Where's your jacket? It's cold outside.

Selene: Lost it.

Claudius: Here, take mine.

Claudius, to Eiblin: Kids are a lot of work.

----------------------------------------------------------

Brin:Are you a cuddler?

Nero: I’ve killed multiple people. I’m known for being a machine of death and darkness.

Brin:

Nero: God yes, please hold me.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Alec: Wait, how did you know I was going to propose?

Jake: Creed hasn’t been able to look at me without crying for a month

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Marius: I like this whole “good cop, bad cop” act you have going on

Selene: It’s not an act, it’s just I’m mean and Dash isn’t.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Nero & Callista sitting together in jail*

Calli: So who should we call to bail us out?

Nero: I’d say Adessa, but I honestly feel safer in jail.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Selene: Crying is really annoying, you know

*Alec sniffles*

Selene, sighing: Okay, who do I need to beat the shit out of?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Eibhlin intimidating someone/blowing things up*

Everyone: She’s so scary wtf

Claudius: Yeah, but like she’s so pretty-

(I find it both hilarious and very on-brand that most of the times Claudius stops to admire/study Eibhlin, it’s when she’s being Scary Eib™)

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Lyme: What if they start shooting? How am I supposed to run in a dress?

Brutus: Holy shit! What kind of dinner parties have you been to?

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Eibhlin: Claudius, I’m so happy I could kiss you!

Claudius: *nervous laughter* uh.... neat!

Later...

Claudius, laying face down on his bed: I can’t believe I said ‘neat’, Lex! ‘Neat’! No one says ‘neat’ anymore! It isn’t neat to say ‘neat’ and I said it anyway because I’m a huge loser!

Electra: Don’t beat yourself up, D. Everyone gets nervous sometimes. Remember what happened when Rigel confessed to me?

Claudius: Didn’t you, like, thank him?

Electra:

Electra, staring off into the distance: I thanked him.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Sloane: *tries to create a sense of calm by lighting incense only to find out that the sticks were actually sparklers*

Sloane: This is painfully on-brand, actually.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

“I am death itself. I am the bringer of death, Cato stop laughing, my soul is as dark as the night’s sky- Cato I swear to God.” -Clove,probably

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Alec: Hey I heard you like bad boys.

Jake: Not really.

Alec: Oh thank god.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Creed: Selene is my best friend, and if I love her, it’s the way I would love a sister.

Alec: I‘m your brother, and if you looked at me the way you look at Selene, I would have to speak with our parents.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Brutus: Claudius! Enobaria and Eibhlin are fighting!

Claudius: Don't look at me! They both terrify me, I'll be cut down!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Nero, texting: you will machete through this

Nero: **make it

Nero: Fuck pls don't machete your way through this

Enobaria OR Callista, your pick: too late

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Person on the phone: Am I speaking to the head of the household?

Joseph, passing the phone to Adora: It's for you.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Eibhlin, jokingly: I should have Claudius kill you for that.

Claudius, peering around the corner: Who do I need to kill?

Eibhlin: Wh- no, I meant that in jest.

Claudius, pulling out a switchblade: No, who's bothering you?

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Claudius: Making my way downtown

Claudius: Walking fast

Claudius: ...

Claudius: Walking slower so Eib can keep up.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

“It has been a true pleasure to watch your distractingly childish friendship evolve into a distractingly childish courtship, and now into what I’m sure will be a distractingly childish marriage.”

-Ronan at Devon & Misha’s wedding

(I know Misha doesn’t actually want to get married, but this is all about the VIBES)

---------------------------------------------------------------------

“I would say get a room but yours is the same as mine, please try to remember that.” ~Alec to Creed & Selene (Victor!Creed AU)

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Nero: You know, you can solve your problems without violence.

Lyme: OK, but consider I’m really, really good at violence

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Capitol News, throwing open door: You two ARE having sex!

Lyme: Really? Brutus, why didn’t you tell me? I would have put my book down.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Julia: Paul just texted me “I feel like you deserve the moon but all I can give you is a rock”

Joseph: If you don’t marry him, I will

(Sorry, the concept of the Joseph/Paul bromance is tooo funny to me)

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Petra: You don’t think I can fight. Because I'm a girl.

Brutus: I don’t think you can fight because you’re wearing a massive wedding dress. For what it’s worth, I don’t think Devon could fight in that dress either.

Devon: Maybe not. But I would make a radiant bride.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

There is a master key and a spare key for the village. Adessa has them both. When I asked, “What if you die? How will we get in the gates?”...She said, “If I’m dead, you all have been dead for weeks.”  -Nero, probably

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Someone: Hey what's your type?

Devon/Nero/Creed/Dash: Murderers, apparently.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Misha: Brutus, tell Devon that he's an idiot but I still love him.

Brutus:Tell him yourself.

Misha: We're in a fight.

Brutus: You're sitting in his lap??

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Electra: So umm... I'm having problems with a guy...

Claudius: Like his dead body won't fit in a bag kind of problems? Or you like him, kind of problems?

Electra: ...The second one.

Claudius: Oh, that’s too bad. I could have helped you with the first one.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Snow:Anything you say in the next 30 seconds is free…starting right now.

Ronan: I think you’re cocky. Arrogant. Bossy and pushy. You also have a god complex and don’t think of anyone but your damn self.

Snow: But I—

Ronan: But what? I still have 22 seconds and I am not done.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Selene:(slams open the door) THE BABY IS COMING!!!!!!!

Julia:(immediately jumps up) What baby?!

Creed:(rushes into the room behind Selene, carrying Alec in his arms)

Creed: Alec! Alec is the baby! Today’s his birthday!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Rigel: Tell me about the victors.

Ronan: Flint and Iris. They never show up in text. They’re...pretty much useless. But they make good coffee.

Rigel: Copy that.

Ronan: Now the good ones. Adessa is tough, smart, hard to read, and scary as hell.

[Flashback]

Adessa: Tell me who has me for Secret Santa.

Devon: No! That takes all the fun out of it.

[Adessa glares daggers at him.]

Devon: It’s Odin. He got you a scarf. It’s blue and ugly. I’ll make him return it.

Ronan: Brutus. He’s a grinder. Not our most brilliant victor, but he works harder than anyone else. He’s not the most physically… ...coordinated.

[Flashback, Brutus unwraps a muffin, then drops it on the ground.]

Brutus: Awww man! My muffin!

[As he picks it up, he smacks his head on a desk that’s too short for him.]

Brutus: Ow! My head! My muffin and my head!

Ronan: Petra. She gets underestimated because of her looks, so she’s always trying to prove she’s tough.

[Flashback, Petra puts hot sauce on her sandwich. She looks up to see Claudius watching her.]

Petra: You think I can’t handle this much hot sauce? I can handle way more than this. [She empties the hot sauce on her sandwich and takes a bite.]

Petra:(in agony) In... your... face.

Claudius: ...I didn’t say anything?

Rigel: Tell me about Artemisia and Devon.

Ronan: Oh, those two. Some of our most talented victors-- he likes grassroots projects and she loves feeding the press. The only puzzle they haven’t solved... is how to grow up.

Rigel: That’s very well put.

Ronan: I’ve talked a lot about those two in my mandated therapy sessions.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Creed:Oh no, she's hot.

Selene:Oh no, he's hot.

Alec: Oh no.

(Poor Alec suffering™ when they reconnect in the Victor!Creed AU)

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Dash:[Puts his feet on the table] I heard you liked bad boys.

Selene:No?

Dash: [Takes his feet off the table] Good, that felt horrible.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Creed or Alec: You bit me!

Selene: Biting's excellent! It's like kissing. Only there's a winner.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Brutus: You don’t know how to kill this thing!

Lyme: I thought I might try violence.

Misha: Solid call.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Skylar:[Trying to catch grapes in his mouth] Lyme, what would you give me if I got this grape in your cleavage?

Lyme: A concussion.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Devon: You didn’t have a happy childhood :( ?

Misha:My favourite toy was a knife. You finish the puzzle.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

bb Misha: On a scale of one to ten how much trouble am I in?

Peacekeeper: Eight.

bb Misha: Oh, I can do better than that.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Everyone: Happy birthday Brutus!!!

Brutus: Aw thanks guys

. . .

Brutus: Wait, is that it? No punchline? No joke? No announcement of doom-

Devon: Misha accidentally set your yard on fire

Brutus: There it is.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Devon: Will you marry me?

Misha: Wow, uh, be right back.

Misha: *sprints away*

Misha:*texting Lyme* Come pick me up, kids are drinking alcohol.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Selene: I’m going to make a deal with you.

Kit: What kinda deal?

Selene: I’ll let you play with my sword if you promise not to tell our parents I gave you twelve cookies and said fuck four...five times.

Kit: I’ll take that offer. Plus interest. I also get to play with the knife.

Selene: Fine. Deal.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Nero: Violence doesn’t solve everything.

Lyme: That’s because you're not hitting hard enough.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

“Creed wants to be a victor when he grows up to protect and honour his district and country. Alec wants to become a doctor so he can help sick kids. Our last child, Selene, wants to be a porcupine so she can stab people with her butt.” ~The Sewards & Valents

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Eibhlin, breaking down Brutus’s door at 3am: I have a.. stop screaming it’s me. I have a new update for the electrical grid .

--------------------------------------------------------------------

“I’m very sorry I hurt your feelings by calling you stupid. I honestly thought you knew.” -Adessa

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Lyme: Did you really have to stab him?

Misha: You weren't there. You didn't hear what he said to me.

Lyme: What did he say?

Misha: What are you gonna do, stab me?

Lyme: ...that's fair.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Enobaria: Is it still murder if I give them a heads up?

Nero: I think that's called a threat.

Snow: Something you'd like to say, dear?

Adessa: Oh, there are several things I would like to say-

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Misha: You know what? Fuck you! Unshrinky your dinks.

Devon: No! My dinks!

Brutus: What the hell is your generation on?

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Jake, texting Sara:IM RREALLY DRUNK AND I MESSED UP SOME HOT GUY WALKED INTO THE PARTY AND I YELLED DIBS

Alec, texting Selene: LENE I CAME THROUGH THE DOOR AT THE PARTY AND A GUY YELLED DIBS

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Brutus: I would never say this to Lyme’s face...

Brutus: ...but I consider her my closest friend and I treasure her presence.

Emory and Devon, horrified: Why... why wouldn’t you say that to her face????

---------------------------------------------------------------------

*In the Capitol during District Upsidedown*

Petra: You said things couldn't get worse!

Ronan: Yes, well...apparently I'm not imaginative enough.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Trainer: What the hell happened?

Jason(with a black eye): Selene threw a shoe at my face!

Trainer: Lachlan is that true?

Lachlan: Kind of? Jason was making fun of my shoes and Selene thought he couldn’t see them clearly so she gave him a closer look.

Selene (leaning back on her chair, bored): Yep, sure did. And I’d do it again.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Devon: Truth or dare?

Misha: Dare

Devon: I dare you to kiss the prettiest girl in this room.

Devon: Just note, I charitably said “girl” because let’s be honest, I’d smoke all of you.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Lyme: Now, remember to act surprised by the audience.

Claudius: How does that mean anything when I was forced to go?

Lyme: What did I say about pointing out the meaninglessness of everything?

Claudius: ... Not to.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Devon: One time Callista came over here. All she did was lie seductively over the piano and feed herself grapes. I don’t really understand that woman, but I admire her lifestyle.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

[After Lyme gets shot]

Brutus: What’s your status?!

Lyme: My status, Brutus, is extremely annoyed.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Misha: Claudius/Brutus, I think you should play the role of my father.

Brutus: I don’t want to be your father.

Misha: That’s perfect. You already know your lines.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Julia: What are you? Two?

Paul: Yeah, two heads taller than you

Julia: *deep breath*

*5 minutes later*

Julia: OPEN THE DAMN DOOR, YOU COWARD!

Paul: I WAS JUST JOKING!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

*Creed, Alec, and Selene against an enemy*

Creed: We are going to defeat you with the power of friendship!

Selene: And this knife I found!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Misha:*pitches an idea*

Devon, impressed: Huh, there might be something here!

Brutus, horrified: Yeah, a lawsuit.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Callista: I’d like to offer you moral support, but I have questionable morals.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Marius: Rigel can't go because he's injured.

Rigel: I'm not injured, I was lightly stabbed.

Marius: I'm sorry, you were STABBED?!

Rigel: Lightly stabbed.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Misha’s mother: You know you missed your father's funeral... by two years.

Misha: Well, last time I talked to him he said, "I'll see you in hell, girl" so I figured we had something on the books.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Alec, to someone giving him crap for being a “soft” doctor: I’m an ex-career doctor. Which means I can break every bone in your body while naming them.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

*Claudius & Eibhilin sitting together in jail*

Claudius: So who should we call to bail us out?

Eibhlin: I’d say Beetee, but I honestly feel safer in jail.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

There is a master key and a spare key for our homes. Adora and Julia have them both. When we asked, “What if you die? How will we get into the house?”....They said, “If we’re dead, you both have been dead for weeks.”  -Joseph and Paul, probably

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Finnick: Why would you give a knife to a child???

Claudius: Noah felt unsafe

Annie: Now we feel unsafe!

Claudius: I'm sorry

Claudius: Would you like a knife?

THIS IS THE FUNNIEST THING HOLY BANANAS

I started reading this on my phone but I had to stop bc I was cackling on the sidewalk

THANK YOU FOR SHARING PLEASE ALWAYS SHARE

for @transrevolutions on your natal day, here is uhhh some ... dark ....... conversations about death and mentoring, anger and violence and tributes who don't usually get a lot of attention? (skye & jasper)

SORRY I TRIED TO WRITE CREED but this happened instead

warnings for: canon-typical violence (arena and otherwise), mentions of offscreen victor prostitution

For @lorata because I am completely obsessed with her District 2 multiverse and because the disparity between Victor Alec's experience and how the world might see him has been stuck in my head for years. Everything comes from her sandbox so probably won't make any sense to anyone who hasn't read that first.

nooooooooooooo oh noooooooo

it's SO true though from the outside Victor Alec looks absolutely bugnuts balls to the wall deep in the koolaid, like hoooooly bananas

(Of course he rebels.)

so i herd u had a bad day

Victor Creed (Emory version)
