vintage playing card back designs

misa thing I did instead of talking to people at lunch lol

So

I can't stop imagining Kaz Brekker wearing black "B**ch on the beach" T-shirt and sunglasses when the Dregs go to the sea in the modern au, I'm sorry

SotR is a realisation. A realisation that the rebellion didn’t start with Katniss. That all the people we see supporting her or helping her have all been wanting to fight but they’ve been failing. That there weren’t merely “rumours” of a revolution but there were many active plans playing out and failing.

It’s a reminder that the perfect Hunger Games we saw in the first hg book was an illusion because we had Katniss as our narrator. We didn’t have Haymitch, hell, we didn’t even have someone like Peeta because these people played the games. Katniss didn’t.

Katniss was introduced to us as a mad, simple, naive girl who literally only survived because of others. She didn’t know how much her taking Prim’s place mattered because she didn’t realise what it meant to everyone who came before her. To everyone who had heard rumours of how the last District 12 victor actually fought his games. No, Katniss had just kept her head down, hunting and providing for her family.

See, she grew up way before the Games got to her. She’d already lived through her dad’s death and watched it destroy her once lively mom. Haymitch didn’t have to go through that. Lucy Gray didn’t have to go through that. They were both angry, yes, but at the Capitol. Katniss? She was first and foremost angry at her mom. At her dad. She knew who was to blame but she had too much to do and deal with to think about that. She was already jaded in a way that the Games couldn’t touch.

Peeta? He was Haymitch. He knew what he was getting into and realised he was just on a chess board with no control. So, he adapted. He played the knight, the rook, the king, the pawn. Katniss? She just… did. Changing directions, not playing the piece she was assigned because she didn’t realise that’s what was going on. Remember her surprise at the crown twisting into two after the Games?? She was so oblivious. Until Catching Fire where everything caught up to her. Where everything so many other people had been waiting and working for caught up to her.

SotR is a history book. Rewritten and edited and published as a piece of fact. SotR is a mirror and it’s a reflection of what actually happens vs what ends up being shown. SotR is the playbook of those in control of any and every kind of media that we come in touch with. SotR is a wake up call and I truly don’t know how many will see it as such.

FROM NOW ON MY FAVOURITE CHARACTER DYNAMIC IS FOUND SIBLINGS

THIS. IS. PERFECT!

Okay I just needed to get this out, and I REALLY dont wanna bash anyone but. it's so much fun coming up with songs that would fit the Grishaverse show and potentially be in the soundtrack, but I kinda just want a score? Like, I want the music in the show to be less Riverdale and more Game of Thrones if that makes any sense? Am I alone?

Anon I feel you 100%

Like yes I would love toxic in the background of Kaz’s fight scene but I feel like that would be better as a legendary fan edit rather than the actual show?

But I would also be down if it does what reign did sometimes and have instrumental versions of modern songs somewhere in the background so it fits the aesthetic but we still recognize it somewhat.

AND YES I NEED A SCORE CAN YOU IMAGINE. We’d get titles like:

Kaz’s Theme

Scheming Face

30 Million Kruge

The Heartrender

(Also a kanej theme that’s somehow a mix of both their individual themes pls)

(Also if somehow all the main six’s individual themes somehow fit together into a majestic SYMPHONY when they’re together and heisting) (and it sounds off at the end of crooked kingdom bc Matthias is gone)

Thinking about Maysilee Donner. A girl who refused to let the Capitol dehumanize her. A girl who wanted to die with dignity, without begging for her life, because that mattered to her. Who set up a place setting with napkins and forks in the middle of the arena because she is a human being. Who loved jewelry and fashion and believed that her appearance sends a message about who she is, and who wanted that message to be respectable, dignified, worth something.

Thinking about Maysilee Donner who was unafraid to slap the woman who pulled her name in the reaping and who threw clever insults towards anyone who provoked her, no matter who they were. Maysilee Donner who believed human dignity is inherent but respect is earned and who refused to give respect to those who did not deserve it.

Maysilee Donner whose father threw money at the reaping stage as if that could save her, and the money floated to the ground just like the confetti, meaningless paper that signified nothing when placed against the power of the Capitol. Whose privilege could not save her. Who recognized that reality and faced it with more fortitude than any person should ever have to display. Maysilee Donner.

"will we still be twins?"

that line is devastating, even though maysilee hated the whole twin thing; wearing the same clothes, the same hairstyle…

suzanne, I'm in your walls 🥰

One thing I love about sotr is how much Haymitch and Maysilee matched each others capitol hating freak. Them deciding to paint their own posters, deciding to be loose canons and as wild as their horses, deciding to be rebellious victors, and not allowing themselves to be treated like animals

Maysilee said "jump", and Haymitch said "how high?"
