A notorious quirk of drifting. Recruits are warned not to control or judge the imagery that jumps to mind. The modesty reflex is antithetical to a working connection. Some PPDC psychologists claim that psycho-sexual embarrassment is the single biggest reason algorithm-paired trainees fail to sync up.

Capitol Elite Celebrate the Quarter Quell 

The place to view the 75th Hunger Games was right where we were.

by Kaysa Minox

As our collective eyes are riveted to our hologram screens, we join together as a nation to watch our much-loved Victors enter the arena once more.  But the yearly intensity of the Hunger Games doesn’t end there–nor do the festivities of a Quarter Quell.  Naturally, the most elaborate viewing parties are going on right here in the Capitol.

Our annual Panem-sponsored fete is reserved for the city’s elite, hosting everyone from escorts to architects, engineers to artists. Here, the most cultured citizens swap gossip, exchange odds and even commiserate a bit over the passings to come. It’s cathartic for us all to come together.

Outside, drummers of the tribute parade flank the red-carpeted entry way. Their thudding beats–like the reverberations of our hearts–echo throughout the night.  Inside, power cells in their beehive pattern dangle from the ceiling in a ring of dancing spotlights for those brave enough to occupy them, while thousands of President Snow’s signature white roses languor in graceful bouquets on every surface.  Iridescent fish swim in upright centerpieces while guests gossip and feverishly discuss the Games, which are broadcasted at the front of the magnificent room.

Avox offer French macaroons and other delicacies from silver trays–sampled from a gluttonous spread over several long silk clothed tables. (I spotted one District escort eating dozens of light, meringue cookies, as she nervously watched her Victors onscreen.)  The sartorial trends are spot-on for fall, with feathers, leather, voluminous silhouettes and lots of hardware in full force.  Every avant-garde designer, from Tex Sevario to Bea Akerlund to Jeremy Scott is represented in the over-the-top ensembles of the crowd.

Notable guests include celebrated Capitol Couture designer Trish Summerville, Effie Trinket, and our own editor-in-chief Monica Corcoran Harel. Where are you watching the Games? Who are you wearing? Which District owns your loyalty?

Capitol Couture: Peter Popps

Leaning heavily toward aesthetic value and away from everyday functionality, Peter Popps’ first line of self-branded, thematically-heavy futuristic footwear catches the eye and doesn’t let go.  A shoe designer of extensive high-end and commercial experience, Popps has been creating for top brands in the Capitol for over two decades, consistently exhibiting out-of-the-box elements and bold composition.  Now, branching out into his own label, Popps brings forth designs that evoke the varied contradictions of human nature.  

His present collection consists of four designs (from top-left, clockwise): Bow, Cube (a favorite of Lady Gaga), Circle and Lace-up Circle.  (Our own Velvet Veritas has developed an impressive dexterity for movement in the Circle!)  Popps’ architectural background shines brazenly in his strikingly innovative creations; from Cube’s inspiration of “punk and bondage in contemporary contradictions of revolution and obedience” to Circle’s District 6 influences of “transportation by magnets”, Popps delivers glimpses of the future mixed with design elements of the past.

“What a pity that Bilbo did not stab that vile creature, when he had a chance!”

“Pity? It was Pity that stayed his hand. Pity, and Mercy; not to strike without need.”

“He deserves death.”

“Deserves it! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot tell all ends.”

-Gandalf, The Fellowship of the Ring: The Shadow of the Past, page 58.

it’s so special to me that so much of fan culture is textual analysis for the love of the game. like thank god there are people in my phone who are also thinking about this thing i love so much that they are writing transformative fiction as character studies and setting clips of the show to music with theme-relevant lyrics and writing long text posts analyzing every line of dialogue like!! yay!!!

I wish I could incorporate "bestie he ate her" into my every day vocabulary. Fr, accusing tasmuir of not having thought through the implications is WILD. Like "What do you mean there are violations of consent in the Violations of Consent book?!?" Smack my gobs, good sir, it's almost like it's a THEME or something. There are definitely fascinating discussions to be had here, I suppose on that we can agree.

i know i know. we all interpret johnny as charismatic rockerboy who fucks and doesn’t have crushes because that’s lame. but there is something beautiful about the idea of a silverhand who is simultaneously so emotionally suppressed but also so into V that it makes him ill. the guy who’s never chased anyone in his life is suddenly viscerally pursuing some rando while trying to stay nonchalant about it. has to drink himself half to death before he has the courage to speak to them. probably jerks off weird style about V and then immediately feels angry and humiliated about it. that’s the good stuff.

I don't love that every time a famous artist turns out to be a fucking disgusting piece of trash loser evil shitstain that everyone always scrambles to say WELL THEIR ART WAS ALWAYS MID AND BAD ANYWAY. like dude just reckon with the fact you can't judge someone's moral fiber based on the art they make or the clothes they wear or the way they speak or fucking anything anything at all

[traegorn]

Some of the writers whose works were deeply influential for me have turned out to be awful people, and I just have to reckon with that. I don't enjoy reading them anymore, but it's just because I think about the author when I do -- not because the words suddenly became worse.

Awful people have made great art, and the lesson should be that we should judge people by who they are, not what they can do.

Think I only want one number in my phone I might change your contact to "don't leave me alone" You said you like my eyes and you like to make 'em roll Treat me like a queen, now you got me feelin' thrown, oh

A collection of photos found on the mercenary known as V's phone: Dated 2078

The set of photos from Val's point of view! Johnny was a bit harder to get down how I wanted him to be in these photos cuz well, I wanted them to be different from Val's and different situations. Also in the moment like more natural looking photos can be a bit harder for my head dkjfhsfd. I think I really like them though! Val likes to sneak pictures of him when she thinks he's not looking, as you can tell he catches her most of the time though dkjfhdf. The only one of these she didn't take is the selfie with Nibbles. My thought was that she was gone for a few days (gig? maybe while recovering from the relic had to go somewhere? IDK important thing is she was gone) and she missed them, so Johnny sent her that. This man is the most awkward selfie taker and its her FAVORITE old man trait of his. (its her homescreen wallpaper.)
