So I read the title wrong for the longest time when mutuals were talking about/reblogging Steven Universe way back 5+ years ago and I thought it was Steven's Universe.
Anyways because I read it wrong and generally wasn't paying attention I was under the impression this was just a show where it was a little boy playing with rocks and making up stories about them. Whoops.
"Lars of the Stars" or whatever it's called was announced around when I started watching Steven Universe and as I watched it was like
Season 1: "Not sure how Lars gets his own show but it's too soon to make a call"
Season 2: "Still not sure how he gets his own show"
Season 3: "... How does this guy get his own show?"
Season 4: "No, for real how does this guy get his own show?"
Season 5: "Ohhhhh."
I've heard this song before. Oil execs would talk about "social license" around their operations.
Perhaps "data is the new oil" was more prophecy than slogan.
you have this superpower! BUT you have this side-effect
is it worth it?
yes!!
the side effect is bad but ITS WORTH IT
meh it's okay
the side effect makes it unusable/not worth it
Results/option I didn't think of
The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.
Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.
So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.
Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.
oh shit
As the OP of this post, I’m going to threaten that if this gets to one million notes by the 10 year anniversary on 1 June 2026, one year from today, I will get a lower back tattoo of the loch ness bear monster.
At time of posting, this is at 711.6k notes

your outie has a semi-popular account on a failing microblogging plataform
your outside leaves nice comments on the fanfiction they have read
Rulette is the best episode of game changer ever, the premise the cast and the execution were all perfect! I hope they play it again with new players and rules next season bc it just has endless potential. And I need more Anna in EVERYTHING!!!!
The biggest challenge with bringing this back it would simply turn into a race to take over hosting.
This is why I propose that if they bring it back they need to start the episode with Oscar, Anna, and Jeremy hosting. 😈
intrusive hunger games thought that is now y’all’s problem:
so we know capitol citizens can vacation in old HG arenas and do reenactments. that implies there is a large fandom that is willing to pay for experiences like that.
and where there is a fandom, there is fanfiction
so here is my query
who wrote more everlark fanfiction: us or the capitol fangirls?
So obvious answer is us since we've had more time. But let's throw that away for a moment.
The more exciting thing to consider is that it was probably us because their media and communications were so much more limited and controlled. They probably had more in common with Spirk shippers trading zines than us posting to ao3.
But now I have so many follow up questions about fandom in the capitol like:
Was OC shipping the norm because of there only being one living tribute until everlark?
Was a "made for tv" movie in the works for everlark? Did these exist for past tributes?
Was Snow aware of the fanfic? Maybe he was if certain people wanted to buy Victors to reenact fic. But if he was, did he have a secret stash of Lucy Gray fanfic?
hunger games catching fire au where everything is the same except when peeta says “if it weren’t for the baby” everyone unaminously thinks he’s talking about mpreg. snow, in trying to keep up appearances, has to put out a public statement condoning pegging
you know what pisses me tf off? the concept of the quarter quell. yes it's terrible and morbid to make a special edition of what already is an oppression ritual but that's not it. it's the idea of a quarter quell, every quarter of a century, the assumption that the games would go on so long and end up being so numerous that you would need to tell them apart with some extra title. even the special editions. that the status quo would continue as it was, and they would just keep killing children every single year and inventing new atrocious ways to do so. it's disgusting
This made me think about how there are disasters thay delineate a generation because kids saw it on tv as a kid or had it impact their childhood in some way.
Gen x remembers the Columbia space shuttle disaster, millenials remember 9/11, gen z remembers the COVID pandemic.
It makes me think (headcanon?) that Panem has "gen vote" and "gen doubled" and "gen Victor" since these remarkable games would have been the spectacle and horror that different generations of Panem people would remember.
“This morning's poster says, We're civilized. We appreciate beautiful things. We're as good as you. It's an extension of her whole campaign to show the Capitol our value." SOTR page 294
“"We each have a serving of stew and rice. They even send us silverware and plates."” The Hunger Games page 303
Haymitch remembered Maysilee in every way he could. He was sending a message, he was making a poster just as she did in the arena when she set up their breakfast for them and demanded the attendant give them plates on the train. He was making sure everyone in the capitol who viewed them as play-things could not dehumanize them as they dined on Capitol cuisine. They would sit there, and eat the same food they ate with spoons and bowls and manners. Haymitch, without telling Katniss and Peeta, gave them an opportunity to rebel by showing their civility... just like Maysilee Donner.
rereading the entire hunger games trilogy and just reached the part where Peeta and Katniss watch Haymitch's games and idk if this has already been talked about but the exact lines are
"We watch from the point of view of one of the tributes as she rises up through the tube from the launch room to the arena."
first person pov. of a female tribute. someone capitol had put a camera on. as in, someone who has been bugged by the capitol.
AS IN, FUCKING LOU LOU!
Haymitch with the fire striker - a device that can create fire.
But after those 50th games fire didn't catch. The flames needed fuel to keep burning.
Caesar calls Katniss "the girl who was on fire". And she could have just been a flash in the pan. A "was".
But this time there was someone to fuel that fire to make sure it didn't go out.
Peeta fed the flame.

Finally a fandom to fill the YA, sci-fi, blonde woman lead, created based on the concept of a written work that wasn't out yet, and filmed in Vancouver sized hole in my heart.
