Rosa Talks - Tumblr Posts

i have a week off with no uni deadlines or lectures to attend! finally! i will be using it to write something - mark my words!

does anyone have any annie cresta head cannons? i'm writing a odesta fic and i'd be interested to hear what people head cannon for her seen as so much of her character is left unexplored

hey, writers. reblog this with your opinions on:

(using parentheses)

using em-dashes—more or less liberally

using italics

DIALOGUE IN ALL CAPS TO IMPLY YELLING

the semicolon; or, how to properly use it

capitalizing Important words

using. repetitive. punctuation. for. emphasis.

"the hunger games is literally january 26th” and “if katniss everdeen was alive today she’d be storming the capitol in a MAGA hat” are quite possibly the most ludicrous thg takes ive ever had the displeasure of setting my eyes upon :’)

I just watched a video where someone said that the hunger games is “conservative propaganda”. Media literacy is truly dead.

very torn between wanting to update some of my older fics bc my writing style has changed sooo much since then, but also not wanting to spend any time reading them bc they give me the ick :')

view between villages by noah kahan is soooo post MJ peeta mellark coded, u heard it here first

She’s still glowing like a lighthouse on the darkest nights.

Finnick Odair has found his way home.

Oh so ur a writer?? Prove it. Drop the last sentence of ur wip in the tags

now why am i really really considering getting a katniss themed tattoo for my bday………

i think the ficnick might end up being 10k words......

i just saw this comment on instagram under a reel of katniss and peeta and i just…. i so deeply disagree with the sentiment.

in a later comment, OP goes on to say that katniss was 100% in love with gale until she realised how “thirsty for violence” he was. at that point, OP sustains, the only person katniss had anything in common with was Peeta.

i haven’t written meta or commentaries for THG in probably over a year but this feels like such a dismissive comment that i had to say something about it. OP is saying that katniss only started loving peeta because he was the last option and they were both “broken” and trauma bonded. which i don’t think is accurate to their actual dynamic at all. the comments completely ignore any kind of dynamic or affection they have with eachother and portrays everlark as two people who only end up together because they have common trauma.

idk it just feels like a very reductive take. and one that perhaps doesn’t fully grasp the full extent to which they love and care for eachother throughout the trilogy

we’ve passed 10k! this is the longest one shot ive ever written :’)

i think the ficnick might end up being 10k words……

i’ve made a playlist to hype myself up to finish the ficknick (currently at 12.5k but we’re getting there) here it is if anyone is interested! the songs all fit odesta’s vibe or the general vibe of the fic :)

i have not been the same since @dxnyarya said that havana rose lui is their annie cresta fancast like this is HER

just saw that my peeta fic has 10k+ hits which is firstly insane but secondly is kind of embarrassing because i feel like my writing style has changed since :') i originally posted it in 2021 (?!!!?!?!) and then i edited it in march this year and idk editing it again and fleshing it out more feels weird but maybe I'll do it because i feel like i can improve it

What's your opinion about District 4 as Career District?

Why is there a difference between District 4 and other Career Districts (1&2) in supporting the rebellion?

From all known victors from 4, who do you think the first to support it?

(If you have/know any fics which explore this, please let us know).

Thank you :)

@curiousnonny

hi! 

I think that district 4 was a career district!

I haven’t done a re-read in a while but i think I always just assumed that the proximity (not geographical, I mean like the fact that they had close ties) of D1&2 to the Capitol probably has a lot to do with their lack of support in the rebellion.

like we know that D1&2 are viewed very favourably by the Capitol and get more food and resources from them etc so it makes sense that they'd be more loyal. however, i don't remember the same being the case for D4 (someone correct me if I'm wrong though). D4 has always felt more like D7, D10, D11 to me based on vibes alone.

In terms of supporting the rebellion, I feel like the first could have been Mags honestly. Or at least, I feel like she would have known about what was happening.

I can definitely see her being contacted by Plutarch and being asked about how likely the other D4 victors would have been to join. like,, mags was the first D4 victor and i assume she will have done a lot of the mentoring in the years to come. she would have been a great starting point for the rebellion. who else would have known/understood her districts victors personalities better than her? and also the fact that she's been around for so long would mean that she could also provide a lot of insight into victors from other districts and the workings of the games themselves etc

and yeah, i feel like mags might have needed a bit of convincing at first. we know that canonically she's half-raised finnick (and probably other D4 victors too, esp if they were careers) so i could see her initially being cautious about promises of rebellion and change. she's old enough to have been alive before the first games, (maybe not old enough to remember what life was like but she probably would have had some idea from like idk - her parents talking about it or something) and so i can see her being weary of the idea of putting the other victors in more danger on the hope of something better.

but we also know that mags is kind and selfless and caring and i think she also would have wanted her 'kids' to have a chance at living in a better world. so yeah! i think mags would have been the first D4 victor told about the rebellion and i think finnick would have come soon after.

i don't think ive read fics that specifically discuss this, but most of @finnicksannie (TheWalkingGrimes on ao3)'s thg fics are about D4 and it's victors so those fics are all a brilliant place to start! also i know @the-sun-and-the-sea also has lots of d4 centric fics on ao3!

RULES: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! and then tag as many people as you have WIPs 🤍

thank you so much @penvisions for the tag! i don't have many wips in my docs rn bc i get ideas and then i never write them down, but here's what there is!

all the version of me dead (and buried in the yard outside)

After the events of Mockingjay, Katniss Everdeen struggles to come to terms with everything she has lost. Peeta is there to help her through it.

“She stands there before Peeta, suddenly self-conscious about the way she must look under his gaze. Her skin looks as if it’s been stretched over her bones; Katniss Everdeen is gaunt, sinewy , rough at the edges, and she’s healed wrong so many times in the past few years that her body is a patchwork of old fractures and burns that are still slightly pink.

Katniss wonders how Peeta can even recognise her like this.”

Katniss dances in the rain and remembers a similar moment with her sister! Peeta is amazing! Fluff ensues! That’s basically it!

“I’m sick.”

She doesn’t mean to start crying, she doesn’t, but when Peeta’s kind gaze finds hers and his warm hands meet her smaller ones, Katniss feels the floodgates burst open. 

In seconds, his arms are around her, lips pressing against her forehead as she’s pulled against his warm chest.

“I know, honey, I’ve got you. You’re okay, you’re okay.”
