AND YOU WONDER WHY WE THINK SOMETHING BAD IS COMING BB <3

I'll give you a real comment later, just wanted to let you know I read it and had the ENTIRELY NON-HAYMITCH-APPROVED reaction of "baaaaaaaaaaaabies" *chinhands* so ha.

(also boo to the alone, I know the too-big-bed feeling, so all hugs of commiseration from me)

AND YOU WONDER WHY WE THINK SOMETHING BAD IS COMING BB <3

I really do, actually. I mean, super exciting happy things just happened, right? :D (blithely skipping over Haymitch's reaction to it - we all know he'd run away and hide in the face of happy)

Hahah, thanks for the heads-up otherwise and I very much look forward to that real comment!

(too big bed, but at least too big dog spreading out on it now that there's space for him again and he's, well, having paws and no female shape but otherwise very cute and fluffy. So there's that. *gratefully hugging back)

Okay, first off: they kissed~! Heee! <3

The majority of victors knew how to swim; there actually was a group who joined up during Games every year to use the opportunity of visiting the plush Capitol facilities. <- This is very interesting! I'd wondered about this in light of the 3rd Quarter Quell ( ... )

Thank you! I had sooo much fun! XD

Eeee! What Lorata said!!

I mean, this is brilliant. The way you mix the perfectly mundane with "no sounds for days, he might be dead" (I'd been thinking Haymitch's surveillance person must have been thinking that a lot) And Kelvin having that episode out of nowhere, then covering it up, but the Capitol knows all. Even though they don' get it.

(this is getting me thinking on the routines of the surveillance people and how they must just record everything, then "jump to next sound" button and scroll through it before moving on to the next victor. And getting bored and not recording things because they get distracted by the pretty girl one booth over.)

I also adore your version of the swimming lessons trope. I would love the fuck out of that story ( ... )

So here begins the great Trovia Birthday meta project of summer 2015. It's not s very impressive beginning because I have 15 min. before they kick me out of this coffee shop. There were problems, mainly due to the fact that I could not get the LJ mobile app to function properly on my iPad tonight for some fucking reason. This thing has gotten old and buggy and should probably be replaced. But I am starting anyway, because I have to break through the procrastination. I have long planned to do a close analysis of these chapters, and I decided to do them as a group before going back to the beginning. I fear that I will have little original insight to impart, because we have discussed things so throughly. But I figure you can live with me just going "I just loved this line and here is why" a lot ( ... )

So, here I am for some brief meta. What with the high dose of steroids I have been taking, this has been one strange week. And I am not sure if having my ENT probe my sinuses today actually removed more of the blockage, but I'm going to keep at it. Not taking steroids for again for awhile -- this was just a long shot, I normally avoid them except extreme duress because they can send me really manic. I am honestly embarrassed to look at my tumblr feed right now, I imagine it looks like the food of a crazy person, which would be fitting. :-p It's like herding cats inside my head right now, and I started tapering off the steroids a couple of days ago when it became apparent that I could not sleep. On the other hand it is a great high taken in extremely small doses, so there's that. I am just going to have to be very careful to avoid crashing too hard. I should be around to chat on Saturday or Sunday this weekend, btw, barring unforeseen circumstances ( ... )

It wasn’t anything like an afternoon at sea in Four, hitching a ride on his father’s shrimper with a vague plan to dive in head first, sun sparkling hotly above. But Finnick eventually came to the conclusion that he didn’t mind. He didn’t want another Four. He wanted something different, something new, something that he’d helped create.This passage gives me a gentle sense of hope just beginning to build, with Finnick starting to have a sense of broadened vision; there's a sense that he can see a possibility of using his highly organized mind to find his way out of the box ( ... )
