So I really like the popular fanon of the hunger games being a memoir that Katniss wrote and published. But recently I came across an analysis here on tumblr (don’t remember by who) about how Katniss writing and publishing the hunger games is out of character for canon Katniss. That got me thinking about how in the real world people close to and especially the children or parents of a famous person will write or edit a diary of a loved one after they have died.
So here’s the idea what if Katniss wrote down her experiences in a journal in order to process her trauma perhaps around the time of the epilogue. Fast forward years into the future and Katniss and Peeta have died of old age, while going through all their parents stuff the toast babies find the journals and decide to read them.
Together they would publish the journals maybe as a way to preserve their parents story or their might be some misleading rumors they want to stop. Ether way the toast babies publish the books and Katniss stays in character.

Not much has changed from my first post
Willow is still silly and can sleep anywhere but that’s from being basically nocturnal
Willow and Paul silver are still 5years apart but there’s only 1 year between Paul and Jolene Pearl
Paul Silver usually goes by Paul or Paul silver if you want to be fancy but Jolene Pearl almost exclusively goes by Pearl
Personality’s
Willow: her heads in the clouds, her favorite word is “what?”. Silly and likes to make jokes and will explain things using references to tv and video games. If Star Trek survived she would be a HUGE Star Trek fan. Made the poor decision of deciding to study chemistry and mechanical engineering. Is good at it but it made her already bad sleep schedule worse. Scared of spiders and most wildlife. Forever the shortest at 5’4 max. Closest with her dad.
Paul: LOVES NATURE. Is the most talkative of the three but can’t lie for shit and was always the first to crack under pressure. Now is a combination of Huey and Webby. Always an optimist and usually has the knowledge to back it up. Want to work in forestry in 12. Katniss is his troop leader. Always has a backpack(not pictured above) that somehow has everything you need no matter how strange. Love’s history and art as well. The tallest at 6’1 and is taller than Peeta. Closest with his mom
Pearl: is the only allistic of the three. Really sassy and always has a good comeback. Resting bitch face + her mother’s scowl. The most combative and angry, she is the bully’s bully. Loves talking about fashion and makeup with Effie but is actually closest to her pawpaw Haymitch. Is in ballet, does theatre, and opera. She has the best singing voice and the best at designing and frosting cakes. Gets to be 6’0 also taller than Peeta.
All three: have skill in art from painting with dad. Have at least 4 baking recipes memorized. Can shoot a bow and arrow but skill varies(Pearl is the best). Will make fun of each other mercilessly.
ESHONAI IS OK!! I have been on tumblr (finals!) so I just saw this! I’m so happy you added more, your writing and world building are amazing!
While reading this I was reminded of the funny idea I had that was the original inspiration for the bear on her hammer and made me want to draw the armor. (Spoiler warning for wor just in case)
It’s basically that when Szeth first try’s to assassinate Dalinar, after the battle between szeth, Adolin, Dalinar, and Kaladin. Hesina and maybe Lirin somehow witnesses szeth and kaladins one on one portion at the end. Of course before Szeth runs away Hesina gos full mama bear and chases Szeth back into the palace while lirin goes all surgeon/worried dad mode on Kaladin.
Here’s the vision. The terrifying assassin in white is flying through the castle straight toward the kholins!
Oh no he must haven't defeated Kaladin and is back to finish the job! But nope he wins past them and quickly turns a corner.
A couple seconds later Hesina in full shardplate and hammer, glowing and moving the freaking stone under her and she goes “Where is he.” In that terrifying voice that warrants a close up on the eyes.
I mean at that point you just point to where Szeth went and hope you soil your pants! Of course Hesina gives a polite thank you and she’s back to running and yelling about how Szeth will pay for what he did to her precious baby boy Kal! (The more embarrassing the nickname the better)
Bonus points if this is most of the kholins first interaction with Hesina and even Shallon and Adolin don’t recognize her at first with the helmet on.
So yea this is what gave me the idea for all the bear elements and to design the armor. Well this and the way she pushed Adolin to get to Kaladin. Although if I’m being honest the “Mom” moment was want inspired me in the first place this idea came while sketching.
More from the Hesina Willshaper AU. Specifically Continued from Here.
while hesina and Lirin were travelling with the band of freed slaves the two were loosely in charge, but decent enough at delegating that other people quickly took on major leadership rules.
erk. gonna need a bunch of ocs
layla, 8th dan before being sold to pay family debts. quartermaster/ house steward role. roughly same age as hesina. worked mostly as a house slave.
she had actually managed to half pay off her slave price, something she gripes about for laughs, she could have bought cool stuff with that money. most of the money came from the child she had, who was sold as a baby, wouldn't be able to find it if she wanted to, and she's not even completely sure she does.
layla is fascinated by different peoples religions, languages, beliefs...she's met people from a surprising number of countries working as a lighteye's servant. mostly self taught reading, hesina teachers her to write. hesina and her talk a lot about religion and philosophy. one of the few people who doesn't put hesina on a pedestal. hesina's first squire.
it seems that the squire rules are different for each order. i'm wildly but confidently headcanoning that willshapers get exactly ten, and they can tangibly feel each squire bond being formed.
willshapers have an interesting relationship to Connection. Connections can free you. Connections can become chains. best to be aware. either side of the willshapers squire bond can break the connection at any time.
(willshapers also have an interesting relationship to Oaths. Oaths can very definitely become chains. they just... i mean oaths still matter, but they don't take breaking them as seriously as some of the orders. circumstances matter. people grow. the spren once vowed not to bond with the singers again, and yet...it's been millenia. The lightspren are thinking. Things have changed.)
they're not freeing people because they made an oath. They made an oath because they chose to free people.
-
Ruush, 5th dahn before being enslaved for refusing to follow orders. One of the only ones with actual military training, though his leg was broken and healed wrong, meaning that he could only train, not fight, until he became hesina's second squire and healed.
Often Lirin's guard. Only 15 years younger than Lirin, but has for sure called him dad. Lirin calls him son and tries not to lecture him too much on being a soldier.
Ruush is mildly bemused by the entire concept of pacifism (Not common among Alethi!) and listens very patiently, with genuine if slightly abstract interest. i mean, you gotta admit, violence does beget violence. wild. anyway, back to work.
Has heard enough stories about Tien and Kaladin that he pretty much thinks of them as his brothers.
When kaladin and him finally meet kal is... mostly cool with that (sure, this might as well happen. can't have too many brothers). but there is significant disagreement over who's oldest.
-
shortly before making it to Urithiru oathgate they run into the listeners. layla and ruush hastily throw up some walls between them while Hesina tries to communicate that she comes in peace. The listeners scramble to get Eshonai to translate.
it takes some time to talk. the translation process with the council of five. mistrust on both sides. lirin gives an impassioned speech about wanting to be free from violence, and some listeners swear they could almost hear the man attuning to the rhythm of hope.
Eshonai gives her plate and blade to Thule before traveling to Urithiru. Venli calls her a fool. The council approves. This might be their one last chance.
Eshonai returns full of enthusiasm. This is it. They could escape. They would still need gems to make the fields grow, but the Neshua Kadal leader women and her mate have been robbing other humans blind while traveling. This could work.
-
Venli presents her own radical idea, storm form, a form of power.
Maybe two thirds of the listeners take the chance on Urithiru.
A third stay on the shattered plains to fight for vengeance to the bitter end.
-
Listeners slightly outnumber human population. People learn quickly that any violence gets randomly duplicated, which Lirin is weirdly smug about. Eshonai spends a lot of time on language lessons.
After sitting down and talking it out, they eventually decide to make a council of ten — 5 humans, 5 listeners. Hesina's lightspren is given the deciding vote if they tie.
They need each other too much to operate separately, even if the place is technically big enough.
Over the course of a month they actually settle into a decent routine. There's some mistrust, but Eshonai manages to explain fairly eloquently why they decided to kill the king, fearing being enslaved by the return of the gods
yeah the humans can get that. we don't really care about the king anyway.
the parshendi were shocked by how brutally and disproportionately the Alethi responded
tell me about it. i once scratched a window and was beaten until i couldn't walk.
Really, things are promising, common ground, willingness to move forward together.
-
Layla draws her own lightspern to much rejoicing, reaching the third oath, so now they can move between the oathgates without worrying about leaving people trapped in Urithiru without Hesina.
Eshenoi swears her own first oath!! even more rejoicing!!! listener and dark eyes going together into the future freely and equally.
if only they could convince Venli's revenge splinter group to join them. of course everyone wants vengeance but... they want to live more. they want to live for more.
the 'stormform' group is going to get themselves killed. and if somehow they don't... fear grows that the songs, the warnings about forms of power — they were for exactly this moment but what are they going to do? attack their own people?
The radiants alternate going out on a few more raids, freeing more slaves. They also bring stolen parchmen now, which they had mostly decided to leave behind in past raids, as they wouldn't really help in their own escapes at all, and everyone felt bad continuing to treat as slaves even if they come with, but they just...stand there. The Listeners are continuously baffled by them.
Some humans think about another few thousand years of their children and their children's children and their children being tenth dahn eternally ... they know humans who are dead behind the eyes and stormfather. If you bred for that...
-
(a storm is coming and things are going to get messy but those who were there will look back on these months and know how important they were. when the lighteyes come and the singers come things will change. but for a moment there was something beautiful and almost pure. and those foundations will matter more than anyone could possibly imagine)
YAY!!! I didn’t do my homework last night and instead cleaned up a oc design!!
So here she is!! she is part of my sge au and more world building!
the Sugar Plum Fairy is the ceremonial king or queen of the sugar kingdom along with being the conductor and protector of the concert hall. as conductor they make and maintain the stages as well as conducting special performances
the concert hall is an institution similar to the school in the books.
but instead of the storian it holds the maestro, it controls the concert hall and many smaller stages, halls, and amphitheaters across the land.
the maestro is in its oldest form a oval music box with silver details and two small figures of two girls dancing inside.
the maestro records both art and history, it collects and records any stage play, song, or performance that is performed on any of its stages along with telling history threw any medium on stage. it will then replay or performer an act when requested.
ballet is especially popular in the sugar kingdom due to the nutcracker telling the story of the sugar plum fairy before Alexzander named Antonietta and Clara
while it is possible for sugar plum fairy's to be related its not that common. Antonietta is the mother of Alexzander and she was 8 months pregnant with him during the ballet, she had a extremely difficult pregnancy even before the rat king that completely destroyed all her energy, that's how she got captured.
the Sugar plum fairy is chosen by the maestro 10 years before the currents retirement and crowned the Sugar plum prince, princess, or hair. when chosen they are no younger than 15 and no older than 20
Sugar Plum Princess Anastasia Le Fey!!
(Ooooh fancy text!)
Anastasia is the eldest child of Morgan Le Fey and the current sugar plum fairy Alexzander
she has 8 siblings
Anastasia's full name and title is The Sugar Plum Princess Anastasia Gwendalynn Le Fey-Tchaikovsky III (what a mouthful) but she goes by Nastya
she is 3 days older than Tedros and will never let him forget it when she used to visit camalot as a child.
when visiting camalot her mother would leave her with Tedros and his nanny when messing with Arthur. she also would dress her daughter is simple play clothes instead of the major finery of the sugar kingdoms court. this has the unintended consequence of Tedros not knowing his cousin is a princess and just thinks she live in whatever run down location he thinks Morgan lives is.
i love making Tedros a dumbass
she has a baton that works like a magic wand
very intelligent and great at school but bad with people
her two best friends are the daughter of the queen of hearts and the daughter of the black swan and white swan (yes i'm making them lesbians)
she is close with her aunt Clara
i want more lesbians the nutcracker is a lady and Clara is useless around her, the nutcracker is an idiot and has low self esteem so she was as clueless as Percy Jackson
at first glance she could be a guy but she is defiantly a girl everyone gets it wrong even gods apparently(the maestro)
We toss out over 80 pounds of textiles each year. These textiles are often made of plastic materials (polyester, nylon), made in unethical conditions, dyed with harsh dyes that often get put into the rivers, etc. Even a single cotton shirt releases carbon emissions and uses tons of water.
So the best thing to prevent the unsustainable growth of the fashion industry is to make sure that your clothing lasts as long as possible. To do so, mending clothing is a must. So here are some resources to help you learn how to do various things, such as sewing a button, to tailoring clothes, or even upcycling old clothing into new styles.
* How to sew on three different types of button
* How to hand sew on a patch on a torn pair of jeans
* How to sew up a hole in an old shirt
* How to sew a simple T-shirt
* How to upcycle old clothing into new clothing
* More upcycle and sewing techniques
* How to repair a damaged sock
* How to do an invisible stitch
* 3 different stitches to work with for different results
* How to make a T-shirt smaller so it fits you better
* How to make repairs to your shoes
These are just a few of the things that you can do in order to make sure that your clothing lasts for a long time. Nobody wants to keep buying new clothing, as it is expensive and wasteful.
So making alterations to your clothing, or fixing small holes hen you see them can be hugely beneficial to your wallet, to garment workers, and to the environment in the long term.
An update to my last post about my percy jackson au(still working on it) but i changed some things about Molly.
Her age is now 6-7 not 10-11
she is a child of neptune
scottish
those are pretty much all of the changes to her character.
they are sitting and pondering
Wow it’s been a while with this one! I wanted to sort of lay out a few good ideas for the first season of titans since I never touched it in my first posts. So without further ado here it is:
Let’s get this out of the way nightwing is nightwing from the very beginning no stupid still robin stuff he is nightwing and he moved out of Bruce’s manner.
Cory’s memory loss is fine but I want badass alien star so she is shipwrecked on earth and hiding from her crazy sister
Raven can keep her name for a civilian identity but she goes by her nickname raven, she stays the depressed goth kid who witnessed her moms murder.
And gar is mostly fine but I want to add some things to him since I only really remembering him being very bland, first he’s the theater kid, you don’t have to lie about green hair in theater dyed hair is the norm, but i don’t know if I want to put him in tech or as a actor. Nope great idea he’s in tech which makes him a jack of all traits, the April has a crane license in rottmnt.
Now I of course will now be adding the wonderful and amazing victor stone aka cyborg! Man I missed this guy, he was probably my favorite character in the animated show. He plays high school football and is friends with gar and knows about gars powers, he also knows raven from poetry club
In titans they also introduced Jason Todd as a recurring character but I don’t like that so we will push him to later
Time for PLOT!!!!
In the beginning not much will change for raven and dick, her mom still dies and dick is trying to help her get to a safe place and there being chased by something evil like demons that dick has been searching for for months
Now the deviations gar and victor and walking home from school and they are just about to meet up with victors dad, dr. Stone at his job when Cory’s ship crashes and victor gets caught in the blast, the group rushes him inside and dr. Stone has them bring him to his lab, cyborg is here!
Raven and dick also witness the crash and rush over to help by this time they where able to shake the demons but the crash makes them come back, they are getting destroyed by these demons when star sees them and comes out to help, cyborg is still processing what just happened with his dad and gar, somehow they end up coming to the conclusion that since gar and his family knows a lot about being an outsider cyborg might stay with them a while, we have a heartfelt scene with cyborg and his dad before
Star crashes into the window after being thrown by the demons!
Star gave the group an upper hand but after a while it wasn’t enough, gar and cyborg now join and we get a epic fighting as a team battle
Afterwords dr. Stone comes out to see if his son is ok and recognizes dick from the many times he has worked with Batman, and we have a catch up scene with the group and they realize that there are going to be a lot more demons and someone need to stop them this transitions into the titans tower and the team is now formed.
This is rather a two part episode with more plot I didn’t go over or above is part 1 and below is part 2
Now next episode
Titans tower is an old Wayne building that is sadly unprepared for its new job so dick calls Alfred, no not Bruce he’s still mad at Bruce for whatever reason, Alfred can’t make it so he sends Jason to drop of the stuff instead.
Now time for Jason Todd, now you might ask oh egglantine how will you integrate Jason one of your favorite Battfam members into the story?
I won’t
Yea I love the guy but this is titans and in order to avoid the transition into a Batman show Jason Todd will not be a recurring character. There will be cameos but any story that involves him will be a dick Grayson storyline.
I actually have the idea that as the show progresses the Batfam will be more comic relief or a running gag of no one knows how many siblings dick actually has and dick never tells
*titans in a later season calling batcave* Dick: hi Jason! Gar: wait Jason!! I thought he was dead!!! Jason eating a bagel: yea I’ve been good for like 6 years now Dick: that time you tried to kill us was pretty crazy though 😊 Titans: 😦
This is getting long enough and I have homework so I will see you next time! Also I am more than happy to answer any questions inbox should be open!
Send a character + outfit + accessory. Feel free to use and reblog, but please do not repost!
I made a new one. I hope you all like it!
So when Netflix released fate: wins saga I watched two episodes before quitting in sorrow due to lack of Tecna. Aka my favorite winx character of all time. I don’t remember why exactly but about 2 years ago I was reminded of fate and decided to make a tecna re-design and now two years later I redid my design and here’s the difference!
