Writing Brutus through the years is interesting because yeah, the cracks keep coming ... As a bb victor it's almost painful how earnest he is ...

oh! The Woof thing is a nod to welcome to your gory bed where, uh, that happened. His is one of the ones that makes me the most DDDDDDDDDDDD:

oh lord I forgot I had this whole backstory for Lyme and Brutus and Frigga at Hogwarts, I'm not sure if you want me to tell you because IT GOT KIND OF EXTENSIVE

Yeeeah, I think it's a fair bet. :/

aaaaaah, I read this last night just before I was going to get back to working on art and it was so great and filled my mind with so many thoughts it was quite an effort to make myself get back to work/on schedule! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

don't worry about leaving crazy comments, I'm just glad you liked it! :D I think I started this in, like, September or something, so hurrdurrrrrrrr.

(I picture D4 being a little like the Caribbean, culture-wise, so that's where I went with this)

I really like oddball pairs -- like, not in a shipping way, but just, two people who don't get the chance to interact in canon. \o/

Mags is the biggest BAMF that ever BAMFed and I just loved the way you portrayed Brutus around her and in regard to her. I loved, too, that you had her single-handedly turning Four into a Career district. :D

That will ever and always be my headcanon. I wrote it into her section of welcome to your gory bed, and I still really like it --

The Mayor shakes his head. "But at what cost? What would we be moulding them into?"

Mags fixes him with a hard stare, lets him look and search for the Arena behind her eyes. "Are you a father, Mr. Mayor?" she asks him. His gaze skitters away. "I didn't think so. This is the reality of our choice. The children coming of age now have never known anything but the Games; this will be their whole lives, them and every child born hereafter. We can save their souls, or we can save their lives. I move that we ask the parents which they'd rather keep."
