A dynamic you wish to see more of?

Ooooh! A few people have asked me this which is perfect because I have a few answers! I think my first choice would be Peeta and Prim!

They share a lot of qualities with what we know about their personalities and I think they’d really bond and get along! I don’t believe for a second that Prim ignored Peeta in the same way Katniss did after the 74th Games! I imagine she probably stopped by to see him at least a few times, maybe he even taught her how to bake, or maybe she gave him some medicine for his leg! Regardless, their dynamic as friends (and future brother and sister-in-laws) always makes me smile when I see it in fanfics.

Thank you to my lovely friend @you-askedforthis for the tag!! Go check our her brilliant takes, read her wonderful fics, and just say hi! !

Last Song: One of the Greats by Florence and the Machine has consumed me this week. I really enjoyed it from the moment I first heard it, but I'm only now finally appreciating it for what it truly is: one of the best FATM songs of all time!

I also really enjoyed the new Taylor Swift song for the Toy Story 5 movie, I Knew It, I Knew You, and have been bouncing back to that one a bunch today!

Currently Watching: I binged Off Campus last weekend and was surprised by how much I genuinely enjoyed it, so I will be rewatching that this weekend! Also have started rewatching House of the Dragon to get ready for the new season coming later this month!

Current Obsession: Cooking! One of my resolutions for this year was to become a better cook! I recently moved into a place with some great kitchen space and I'm very proud of myself for actually taking advantage of that! Also will be making my third attempt at baking homemade sourdough bread this afternoon so wish me luck!

Currently Reading: My book club is reading Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke this month and I'm bouncing around between chapters of the Mockingjay audiobook for research purposes!

Currently Working On: I passed the next Enchanted to Meet You chapter to it's beta for edits and I'm slowly sinking back into the world of Victor, Mentor, Mockingjay as I begin writing the third fic in that series! So excited to share them both with you soon!

Last Google Search: Bonne Maman Blackberry Preserves. My mom loves fancy jams and was curious if they had that specific flavor for her.

I think if the weather is nice enough, Katniss and Peeta make their first yearly trip to the lake on her birthday! They bring a picnic and swimming clothes (or conveniently leave those at home lol) and spend the day relaxing in the sun!

If the weather isn't great then I think they set up a little picnic in the house and make a trip to the lake as soon as they're able afterward!

Regardless, I think everyone in D12 knows that the bakery is never open on May 8th! Sorry folks the baker has a wife to celebrate!

🔪 ⇢ what's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?

Thanks for playing @you-askedforthis!

Editing: I do not have good form. I write in fits and spirts and then reread and edit as I go so I’m constantly doing it. I suppose it ranges between a 3-7 because it’s either painful and feels insurmountable or the missing piece is obvious and it feels good to have a clear path.

Weirdest topic: I don’t know that it will surprise anyone but I don’t do a lot of research 🫣 I usually come up with a concept and then fact check it to decide if it’s reasonable or if I can suspend my disbelief enough to go with it anyways… I definitely have gone down rabbit holes before, but sometimes researching kills my momentum.

Favorite Duo?

Thank you for playing @you-askedforthis!!

I love Katniss & Finnick! The green cream jump scare? Finnick odair in his underwear? They’re a delight and they’re so much potential for their friendship in fics.

Character you think is too hated?
