If I started writing miss natalia alianovna romanova but detached from Marve.l and inspired by actual so/vietic union history and spy noir would yall punt me into the sun 🙃

it's really okay if this is not your thing . @70th

"no, it's...quaint, i suppose."

a nervous chuckle, she looks down at the water beneath them as the small boat is pushed by the waves. the ocean is vast, and clear, and eternal, like a mirror that just goes on forever. she's never really seen much of it since her victory tour - she surmises that president snow doesn't like them going back to the districts more than needed. it might remind them that there is something more out there than the capitol for them, something real.

finnick odair and annie cresta live in the victory village of district four. cashmere and gloss just stay at a penthouse in the capitol and pretend that's all there is left for them.

"i mean, i feel like i'm going to fall off this little peanut shell at any moment..." she also feels like she'll puke all over the water, but better dead than letting annie know about that. bringing down the brim of her massive sunhat to cover her face a bit more, cashmere sighs, "it's nice. it feels peaceful, i guess. like nothing bad could ever happen out here."

life is raw , everybody medicates . @70won

"do you ever just shut up?" she says with a roll of her eyes while she turns her head to the other side, pretends to ignore johanna when she comes down to stand next to her on the balcony. there is an obvious tint embarrassment on her face, being caught in such a vulnerable moment by someone she dislikes profoundly.

the capitol lights at night are beautiful. they look like diamonds of bright colors, and that was a comfort to her during her games. right now, she doesn't think about those lights anymore; maybe she's just busy enough thinking about jumping off the ledge.

" i'm sure you don't feel guilty about making me feel miserable, but at least have the decency to be quiet for five minutes. i have a massive headache," she scoffs, shoves the half empty bottle of wine in johanna's hands - a truce. they can go at each other's throats again once dawn arrives and the diamonds evaporate, "i'm guessing your medicine of choice is being an assface to everybody, but you'll just have to do with this right now."

[cashmiere]

wow , nice trick . i'm sure you're a hit at parties . @70won

"one of us has to be, don't you think?"

there's obvious bite in her words - some of us don't have the leverage of returning home to a couple of shallow graves. some of us still have people we care for back there - it doesn't matter that it sounds bitter and spiteful. cashmere knows not to pretend around johanna anymore, knows it will lead to nothing but frustration. does she resent the twisted freedom that johanna's tragic history has given her? does she resent haymitch for that same reason?

cashmere has always hated to choke on envy towards anyone.

"don't think you're better than any of us just because you were stupid enough to get your whole family killed," while those words are murmured low closer to johanna's ear, cashmere steals the champagne bottle from her hand and downs half of it's contents in one go with a swift tilt back of her head. there is something tragic about the way she actively craves to empty that bottle. shoving it back into the other's hand, she adds, somber countenance back to a bubbly smile "lighten up, johanna. your forehead's getting creases as we speak."

Hi besties

[cashmiere]

.

Tbh if you’ve grown up with revolutionary history, authoritarian regimes and even dictatorships, you’ll realize pretty quickly that the revolution in thg wasnt a revolution as much as a coup, a polítical overthrow handled by people who wanted to get snow out of the picture for political reasons. They used the rebels for that. Its always like that, thats how every revolution has worked histórically. Coin and plutarch and the like dont give two fucks about the districts not because they are shady but because they are them as leverage for their own bigger pictures. Thats how it works in real life.

Its also a pretty accurate analogy of the capitol representing usa and the districts representing latam . I cant say SC did it on purpose but good on her for doing it anyways

[cashmiere]

TLDR Yall think snow is the Orange menace and he is but he’s also every other president from the usa to us latines

catching fire-mockingjay timeline: cashmere joins the rebellion so her brother gloss won't have to. the sad thing is that he dies during the quarter quell, so this makes cash become even more emotionally invested in the rebellion during book 3.

[cashmiere]

"that's an absolutely adorable dress you're wearing tonight, mj."

cooing with obvious mockery, cashmere cants her head to the side, the fakest of smiles offered to the redhead before her. they know each other, they have shared the same crowd of capitol elite men and women salivating over their beauty.

that is why mary jane watson is a threat to cashmere. because beauty is a weapon in the world they live in, cashmere carries hers like a crossbow ready to shoot; but mj's is also dangerous.

"i'd say you look breathtaking in it, but of course any dress that see-through would look good with that boob job of yours," dazzling her with a pearly smirk, cashmere adds, "i'm going to get another flute of champagne. i'd offer to get you one too, but i'm sure you can do without all those liquid calories." @folkpoet ft. mj watson.

[cashmiere]

"don't worry, you're cute. you'll do just fine tonight."

batting her curled, almost grotesquely long lashes, cashmere leans closer to the district twelve victor, offers a flirty wink of her eye as she speaks, "though i'm sure you already know that, don't you? that you can handle any crowd," peeta mellark is a very cunning young man. peeta mellark is a goddamn snake in the grass that could get all of them killed if he wanted just by charming the capitol long enough. in that aspect, he reminds her of finnick odair and his dazzling, boyish smiles.

"you're a smart little man, peeta, aren't you?" she coos in mockery as she leans to place a quick peck to his cheek, leaving the smudge of rouge on his skin before leaning back, and adding, "congrats on the baby." @sunpersists

[cashmiere]

"your tributes this year look absolutely terrified of you - it's actually hilarious to witness."

with a sardonic, mocking smirk, cashmere moves to perch on the armrest of the sofa where dazai sits, and crossing one bare leg elegantly over the other, she looms closer to him, whispers into his ear, "it's actually very hot how scared everybody is of you."

cashmere leans back, lets out a loud chuckle to conceal her annoyance at how much he's ignoring her right now - nobody in the capitol ignores her. district four tributes reek of fish guts when they first arrive at the capitol - he shouldn't think so highly of himself.

"you're such a bore, dazai, really. when you're not acting like an absolute creep, that is." @yusosha

[cashmiere]

"is it true that the pearls that come from district four grow inside fish?" question is asked with genuine intrigue as she brings the coffee cup to her lips. to say the districts know very little about each other, about the world outside of themselves, would be an understatement. one time, during one particular expensive dinner, senator pollux carrow explained it to her - president snow considers it necessary to keep the districts disconnected from each other outside of the way they serve the capitol together. it made sense, the fact that nobody really knew much about how district one turned the coal into diamonds, or how exactly district twelve survived at all.

when you keep the districts in the dark about one another - said senator carrow - you keep them ignorant, so you keep them compliant.

"how do you get them out? do you carve up the fish and pull the pearls out of its guts?" she doesn't want to sound particularly interested in the subject, yet she is, annie cresta can surely sense it, "is that why you were so good with knives?" @70th
