Wiress: "I bring plenty of things to this relationship"

Beetee: *plugging in a warming light* "But does it have to be chickens?"

Wiress: "There were only three left and I couldn't just buy one!"

Effie: "Oh... well I think marriage is really an absurd thing for us at this point... after all of the years... and the fact that I'm probably legally a war criminal and Haymitch is well... " *gestures broadly* "him... I'm not sure it matters as long as we're together."

Haymitch: "I've vowed to never get married."

Katniss: "Haymitch, you're the only one of us that's been divorced."

Haymitch: "WHICH ONE OF THOSE TWO FUCKING TOLD YOU THAT?!"

Effie: "You know, its rather sweet that you two have been married for so long."

Wiress: *tilts head*

Beetee: "We're... not married."

Effie:

Haymitch: "You are... I was there"

Wiress: *shakes head*

Beetee: "I think you may have shown up to someone's wedding uninvited"

Haymitch: "fuck... I guess Chaff and I crashed someone's wedding."

I have mixed feelings on the US national tour of Hadestown (mainly blocking changes that I think have a detriment on the story, but also some blocking changes that were really interesting and some mild disconnection in the vocals) but as someone who loves an angry Persephone, I've never considered how different a sadder Persphone actually makes the interpretation...

And I do love how young Rudy Foster's Hermes feels. He feels closer in age in his action and movement to Orpheus, which makes the timeloop aspect so much sadder.

Rudy Foster's Hermes and Namisa Mdlalose Bizana's Persphone were really fun in Our Lady of the Underground. It really felt like they were drinking together prior to the scene and were just giggling to one another and messing around (she also kissed his cheek).

The fates were... interesting. While I love a menacing interpretation of the fates, these three felt more actively agressive. Though I do miss the blocking of the fates trapping Hades during "his kiss the riot" because they really would have done that really well, I'm sad it never happened.

I think my main gripe with it as a story was certain movements and blocking, but I think I especially felt it during Chant II. This has nothing to do with the acting and everything to do with the lack of the turntable. One of my favorite pieces of blocking on the West End was the tension between Hades and Persephone. When Hades stepped onto the turntable to circle Orpheus, Persephone stepped on and stayed next to Orpheus as a sign that she was done accepting everything her husband did and was now going to fight for the boy. With the lack of a turntable, Chant II became incredibly awkward in it's movement, and Persephone didn't ever have that moment of defiance and it ended up just looking like she was chasing her husband before he did something irredeemable. This had absolute nothing to do with the actors and everything to do with the missing aspects of the show. The thing that I also really didn't like was how the blocking separated Nikolaus Colón and Namisa Mdlalose Bizana throughout moments where it was so weird for them to be. Hades leaves her side during "Way Down Hadestown" which, for someone who is meant to show that he'll always look back to make sure Persephone is there, he just walks away from his wife and moves down to the main part of the stage from where Persephone is standing at the entrance to the Underworld. The second was during How Long. While seperation is good to show the visual divide, they always start them in odd spots on stage where getting to a point of tension takes a lot longer in a song that is fairly short. I think that parts of the seperation were interesting during Chant, but again, it takes them way too long to even move close to one another to show that aching for one another during Chant. Now, the one blocking change I did find fun was Namisa Mdlalose Bizana's Persephone slamming the door in Nikolaus Colón's Hades's face at the end of Chant.

*in the middle of playing a very confusing drinking game with the victors*

Katniss: *leans over* "What is the point of this game?"

Haymitch: "Officially, one-upping trauma stories. Unofficially, seeing how drunk we can make Beetee."

Katniss: "How does this make Beetee drunk?"

Haymitch: "Somehow Beetee had something to do with about 90% of 'this happened to me' stories... we learn new things every time."

Katniss: "How cruel can we get?"

Finnick: *leans over* "Wiress once brought up that Beetee got her targeted directly by the capitol and technically sold her out in exchange for his life... so the bar is really below the belt."

Johanna: *pulling Wiress out from where she's been sitting for the past two hours in reeds because she got her boots stuck in muck* "You know, you'd think after being trapped together in a death arena, we'd all figure out 'hey, maybe don't let Nuts walk alone in the woods' but no, we just let her wander off and end up searching for over an hour until we find her in a fucking pond because we were too stupid to assume she'd go near it by herself."

Finnick:

Johanna: "Oh come on, we were all thinking it."

At the end of the day, it doesn't matter whether or not Effie is in the epilogue...

What does matter is that if Elizabeth Banks is invited to the premiere, keep those interview mics far away from that woman

#the hunger games #effie trinket #((Dont think I forgot that commencement speech last year where she talked about getting Suzanne to change Effie's role in the movies))#sotr movie #thg sotr

Effie: "You are absolutely insufferable!"

Haymitch: *hungover, throws up his hand to show a ring* "You still married me, princess!"

Effie: *crossing arms* "We're not married, Haymitch."

Haymitch: *sits up* "Wait... then who the fuck did I marry?"

**meanwhile**

Seeder: *walking by the couch* "Good morning, we owe district three either a good dinner or a decent amount of money for hacking into Panem's records to delete all the record of you and Haymitch's marriage"

Chaff: *hungover* "Me and Haymitch's what?"

Haymitch: "Just so we're clear, for the record, I am not the reason our faculty is banned for life from the escape room."

Effie: *crosses her arms* "I find it hard to believe that you and Chaff aren't the reason."

Haymitch:

Chaff: "It's because Beetee and Wiress took 'escape room' too literally, and completely shut down the power to the building to brute force the door lock open."

Effie:

Chaff:

Effie

Chaff: "We were all stuck on the puzzle, I said 'let the nerds handle it' and technically... they did."

The college professors AU is probably like one confession away from putting Haymitch in the world's most awkward-for-him polyamorous relationship because it'd be him, his wife, ex-wife's wife, and his ex-wife

...Haymitch fails to see how that would change his situation, actually. He's not unconvinced Effie doesn't have a crush on Maysilee or Lenore Dove... possibly both. And they already seem spend more time with his wife than he does some weeks... and they come to house nearly every evenng... and sometimes mornings on weekends...

#For all legal reasons this is a joke (mostly)#thg college professors au #effie trinket #haymitch abernathy #lenore dove #maysilee donner #((please understand that this AU is meant to be read as a sitcom))

Do I use Hayffie week as motivation to get a Hayffie oneshot based in the College Professors AU?

(That totally counts as a college AU, right?)

I still need to come up with a name for the "Project Hail Mary"-inspired AU, but they name the planet after Beetee's wife (deceased? Divorced? IDK yet but they're not together for reason enough that Plutarch justifies him dying on the doomed mission).

Wiress names it for Beetee when he asks what the planet should be called other than it's technical name. Wiress asks how humans come up with names of things, and he says that they usually name it after themselves or something important to them. Wiress says they should name it after Beetee's "mate." They name it for someone who might never know that Beetee named the planet that will give them the key to saving their worlds after her.

Effie: "Haymitch Abernathy! What on Earth are you yelling about at SIX IN THE MORNING?!"

Haymitch: "BEETEE NEEDS TO GET HIS STUPID FEATHERED ASS OUT OF MY KITCHEN BECAUSE HE AND WIRESS TAUGHT FINNICK HOW TO GET INTO THE FUCKING CABINETS!"

Effie:

Haymitch:

Effie: *turns the corner to see a goose in the open cabinet under the sink, one goose drinking from the faucet, and the third goose just sitting in the sink under the water* "...you need to rename your geese"

#the hunger games #incorrect quotes #haymitch abernathy #effie trinket #hayffie #Haymitch's geese #(the stupid idea of naming geese after the victors gave me another really stupid idea)

Effie: *completely unprompted after seeing the photo of Finnick and Annie's son on Katniss and Peeta's fridge* "Oh he's so cute, he looks just like his mom... when are you two going to have one?"

Katniss:

Peeta:

Katniss:

Haymitch: "Well, she asked you a question, sweetheart."

Katniss: "We're not even married"

Effie: "Marriage is not a requirement, darling"

Peeta: "Do you and Effie have an anniversary?"

Haymitch: "If any of us actually celebrated anniversaries, we'd all pretty much have the same damn anniversary date."

Peeta:

Katniss: "You don't remember, do you?"

Haymitch: *taking a drink* "Its a weird question to ask after ten years."

Finnick: "Don't worry about it at all, Annie and I already made a ranking of who to leave kids with when you need a break or short vacation"

Katniss: *reading it* "Why are Haymitch and Effie ranked higher than Beetee and Wiress"

Annie: "Because last time we left our son with them for a few days, Wiress sent him home with three ducks."

Katniss:

Finnick:

Annie:

Peeta: "That explains the drawing on the fridge."

Annie: "She said one duckling got attached to him and 'ducks can't be alone', so now we have three..."

Finnick: "And he's attached to them. We can't get them to sleep outside."

Peeta: "That's cute"

Katniss: "We do not need house ducks, Peeta."
