About Me

I was tagged by littlelavendermenace:

Name: Karen

Nickname: Um... Karen?

Birthday: April 15

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Height: 5’4”

Time Zone: Eastern Daylight, at the moment; Eastern Standard later in the year 

What time and date is it there: 10:41 a.m. on August 28, 2014

Average hours of sleep I get each night: About five, usually - six on a good night (I can't do anything fannish until after my husband goes to bed, because that boy can break my concentration like nobody's business)

The last thing I googled was: Australian football

First word that comes to mind: What

What I last said to a family member: "Have fun!" (to my husband, since he'll be home all day)

One place that makes me happy & why: My back patio, because the boy rigged up a kiddie pool with a fountain for me so I can read and splash my feet in the water (I should post pictures)

How many blankets I sleep under: If it's warm, generally one thin one; if it's chilly, two to three quilts and a set of flannel sheets.

Favorite beverage(s): Milk and RedPop (Faygo Strawberry Soda)

The last movie I watched in the cinema: Guardians of the Galaxy, which was awesome.

Three things I can’t live without: My critters (5, count 'em, FIVE! 2 dogs, 3 cats), books (paper or electronic doesn't matter); something to write with/on

Something I plan on learning: How to mask things in video editing so that I can emphasize one color over another or change say, Woody Harrelson's blond hair to black...  ;)

A piece of advice for all my followers: Learn to trust your instincts.

You all have to listen to this song: If you're into the Hunger Games, if you have any feelings at all for the victors, "Glory and Gore" by Lorde (I might have started a music video to this last night, maybe <_<)

My blog: Is mainly fandom, animals, things I find funny, things that outrage me, feminism, writing (lots of writing), things I write or vid, recommendations of fic or vids, and very occasionally real life stuff.  Like the title says, "I am Groot."

I am tagging adorablecresta, scapeartist, finnickstrident, seevikifangirl, and arathesane.  :)

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that there's a blogger named "divergent-district2" that has been stealing and reposting other people's work (including your own) for the past couple of weeks now. Me and a few other blogs have sent messages to her asking her to please stop reposting other people's work, but she continues to ignores us. I tried contacting Tumblr Support or Tumblr Abuse, but they only accept complaints from the artists themselves. I just wanted to give you a heads up :(

PSA for other graphic makers in the fandom.

Rule 1: Always post the rules
 Rule 2: Answer the questions the person who tagged you asked and write 11 new ones
 Rule 3: Tag 11 people and link them to the post
 Rule 4: Actually tell them you tagged them

1. Who is favourite character in thg?

Finnick.  He's obviously charming and handsome and all that, but he has a hidden darkness and depth to him that I love.

2. Would you ever consider shipping galeniss? (*yuck* oops sorry my opinion fell out of me…) ;)

I ship Galeniss.  I think their love story is a tragic one.  It hurts.

3. Who would you choose to be the leader of a revolution? (Can be anyone, a fictional character, celeb, etc)

Katniss obviously!

4. What is your district (thg)?

District 2!!!

5. Joanna, Finnick or Prim?

Finnick. Always Finnick.

6. What would be your dream THG arena? (i.e. Design one in which you would be most likely to survive)

The only place I'd be most likely to survive would be my room.  So the arena would be my room but it would be chalked full of weapons.

7. Your favorite tumblr account?

This is a hard one! I like mockingjaysource a lot, they have updates faster than anyone else.

8. Do you ship joshifer? (explain your opinion)

Yeah I guess.  Their friendship is adorable but I feel weird shipping actual people, you know?

9. If you could meet either Jennifer Lawrence or Josh Hutcherson, who would you choose?

Aw crap this is really hard.  Urmmmmmmmmmm.... I can't.  I can't choose.  Sorry.

10. If you got a tattoo, what would it be and where?

I WAS going to get a katniss flower tattooed on my wrist, but then I found out I'm allergic to metal so I can't.

11. If you could give one music album to you future children, what would it be?

Fuck I don't know.  Maybe one of REM's.  I loved them.

Happy birthday, adorablecresta!

Annie watches him sleep, grateful for the peace of it.  Sprawled across their bed on his stomach, one foot hanging over the side, Finnick's breathing is slow and even, a sharp contrast to a few hours before, when he fought someone or something in his dreams.  She slides naked from the bed, careful not to wake him - there'll be time enough for that later.

She grabs a shirt from the end of the bed and pulls it on; as it turns out, it's Finnick's, hanging from her slim shoulders almost to her knees.  Winding her hair up into a knot at the base of her neck, Annie pads barefoot to the kitchen to make some tea and a little something for breakfast to celebrate Finnick's twenty-third birthday.  His family will be coming out to Victors' Island later that afternoon for the potluck meal Mags organized.  All the other District 4 victors and their families will be there.  Too many people.  She's really not looking forward to it, but she'll do her best to get through it for Finnick.  And, too, she doesn't want to disappoint Mags.

A few minutes later, Annie returns to the bedroom, tray in hand laden with freshly squeezed orange juice and griddle cakes smeared with melted butter and then loaded with cane sugar and cinnamon.  Finnick hasn't moved.  Gently setting the tray down on the dresser, she moves to the side of the bed and kneels so that her face is on an even keel with his.

He looks younger when he sleeps, the lines of his face more relaxed, less wary.  Long lashes fan out beneath closed eyes; his lids flutter when she blows on his face, and then she's looking into the most beautiful eyes she's ever seen.

"Hey," he says, a sleepy smile spreading out at the sight of her.

"Happy birthday," she returns, leaning in that last inch to kiss the end of his nose.

Before she can pull away, Finnick's arm snakes out and wraps around her shoulders.  He rolls to his back, dragging her with him, and a startled giggle escapes her lips.  Struggling for a second or three, she shifts until she's straddling his body.  Her hair, which came undone during the tussle, is a dark curtain pooling across his shoulders and the pillow on either side of his head as he grins up at her.

But then his eyes seem to darken, his gaze intensifies as he focuses on Annie's mouth.  "Kiss me, Annie."  She starts to lower her face to his and he murmurs, "Mouth, not nose."  Smiling, she brushes her lips lightly over his, barely touching him and pulls back again with an impudent grin of her own.  "It's my birthday, woman, you have to do what I say."

"I don't remember that anywhere in the rules," she tells him even as she leans down again to slant her mouth over his, nipping at his lower lip and then licking to soothe the spot.

It isn't until much later she remembers the breakfast she made, sitting forgotten on the dresser.
