#OYSTERS = YES PEARLS

[robocatfan]

The cookie run fandom when a character is complex and not purely good/ evil, didn’t fall in the interpretation they previously had of them, someone has a different non- harmful opinion of that character, or just missed the point of the stories entirely.

#cookie run kingdom #cookie run #black pearl cookie #white pearl cookie #lord oyster cookie #lord oyster #is this about the black pearl story? yes #is this purely out of spite? also yes #is this also based on what… someone had to say about white pearl’s involment? YES #honestly I’m just kinda tired #took a twitter break for my own sake because of THIS #ma stuff

thankful that street urchin is a whole butch because too many people were prepared to 'simp for the hot biker guy' and then got upset that shes not their next hot fictional cis boyfriend

but it's still honestly upsetting that people drop their hype for street urchin the moment that they learn about her pronouns

#cookie run kingdom #street urchin cookie #raspberry cookie has to literally be the only 'butch' that this fandom can handle #YALL GOTTA STOP DOING THIS TO COOKIES #THE MOMENT THAT AN ANDROGYNOUS COOKIE DROPS EVERYONE ASSIGNS HE/HIM AND GET UPSET WHEN THE COOKIE IS BUTCH #IT HAPPENED TO ALOE COOKIE ALREADY #okay but seriously it's a real issue in this fandom where people only like the hyperfeminine cookies and hate nonfeminine girlies #it really fucking sucks #the lack of love for cookies that dont look like a pretty girl or beautiful woman #it feels like the only 'butch' people can handle is raspberry cookie and users were convinced that lord oyster was going to be a sapphic #yes. it was true that people wanted lord oyster to be a sapphic love interest for black pearl because they assumed he was like raspberry #aka 'knightly elegant woman' design #meanwhile everyone slapped cis male gender onto aloe cookie and then street urchin.... does this fandom hate stone butches or something ???? #ok to reblog but dont try to make a fight out of it #looks like we need to make a meme

The Wrath of the Duskgloom Sea Part 8

Let's go!

*We switch scenes to Oyster and Bubble Pearl escaping the cave. As they escaped, they could hear the screams and feel the ground shaking. Both women looked at each other before running straight to the source of the commotion.*

Bubble Pearl: What the in the Earthbread is going on?!

Oyster: I have a feeling that the beast has something to do with this. We must hurry!

*Meanwhile, our heroes were holding their own against Black Pearl. Princess, Knight, GingerBrave, and Sorbet Shark dodged Black Pearl's pounding fists while GingerBrave, Wildberry, Clotted Cream, and Captain Caviar landed as many attacks as they could. Only Squid Ink stayed back, tears falling harder on their face.*

Black Pearl: HOLD STILL!!!! *slams the beach with her hands*

Knight: Captain! Go! Go find Lady Oyster and Lady Bubble Pearl!

Captain Caviar: And leave ya to this beast?! Not happening!

Wildberry: Hold your ground! *punches Black Pearl's forearm*

Black Pearl: *screams* You little pest! *swings her arm at him*

*Wildberry was barely able to dodge her attack and continued his own attack. Black Pearl howled and set her sight on Clotted Cream. Before anyone could react, she grabbed the Consul and raised him up to her face. This was when Wildberry, Knight, and Captain Caviar get extremely tense.*

Wildberry: PUT HIM DOWN!!!!

Black Pearl: Unless you give my little one back and leave my daughter and granddaughter, this one *tightens her grip for a second* will pay with his life. *Clotted Cream winched at the action. The heroes tried to step forward but Black Pearl growled.* Try me.

Captain Caviar: Don't hurt him! I...*looks at Squid Ink* I...

GingerBrave: Don't give in! We can save Clotted Cream!

Sorbet Shark: Oooooo. *shakes head*

Princess: Please...we can figure out something else!

*Black Pearl growled before squeezing Clotted Cream again. The young Consul let out a scream of pain. The heroes held Wildberry back as best as they could. Captain Caviar looked at Squid Ink again before pushing them toward her.*

Captain Caviar: Here.

Black Pearl: Good. *slightly loosens her grip on Clotted Cream while pulling Squid Ink closer to her* Now...do I have your word that you will leave my daughter alone?

Captain Caviar: I...

???: As hell he will!

*Everyone turned their attention to see Oyster and Bubble Pearl standing behind the heroes. Captain Caviar could feel his heart skip a beat before he turned his attention back to Black Pearl, who looked like she was about to scream.*

Black Pearl: How did you get out of the cave?!

Oyster: *walks up to Black Pearl* You will put Clotted Cream down.

Black Pearl: Or else what?!

Oyster: You will never see us again. We will make sure you never find us again. And if you do, we will make sure it would be your last trip.

Black Pearl: ...you wouldn't...

Oyster: Try me.

*Both Cookies stared at each other for a good twenty seconds before Black Pearl let go of Clotted Cream. This caused Wildberry to run forward and caught Clotted Cream.*

Wildberry: Are you okay?

Clotted Cream: A bit hurt but I'm fine.

*Back to Black Pearl and Oyster.*

Black Pearl: There. I let him go. *frowns a few more seconds before smiling again* Now come, my little seashell! Come meet your young sibling!

Squid Ink:...*sniffles*...hello...

Oyster: *smiles at Squid Ink* It's nice to meet you. But please excuse me. I must have a talk with mother. *snaps her attention back at Black Pearl* You stranded my husband all because of a grudge! Then you kidnapped me and my daughter and revealed yourself to be my mother! Then you tried to crumble my nephew. Not to mention all the ships my family owns that you sunk!

Black Pearl: Is that what you're-

Oyster: I don't care if you're the goddess of the sea. You will not harm my family all because you're angry!

Black Pearl: YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I WENT THROUGH!!!! WHAT YOUR FATHER DID TO ME!!!! I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE ANGRY!!!! I MISSED EVERYTHING IN YOUR LIFE SINCE YOUR FATHER TOOK MY PEARL TOO! I SEARCHED EVERY SHIP TO FIND YOU AGAIN BUT FAILED! I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE ANGRY!!!

Bubble Pearl: Enough! *both Cookies look over at her* We get that you're both angry! But this needs to stop! *looks at Black Pearl* Grandma, I understand you're mad at grandfather and even at father for what they did to you. And I do want to learn more about you, but not if this is how you act. *looks at Oyster* Mother, I know that you're mad at grandmother for what she did to father and your business. But wouldn't it be great to learn more about a missing part of you?

*Oyster and Black Pearl looked at each other for two minutes before Oyster was the first to break the silence.*

Oyster: I believe I can try. But I will want an apology.

Black Pearl: For your ships? Sorry.

Oyster: And for hurting my husband and nephew.

Black Pearl:...

Oyster: Well?

Black Pearl: *grumbles* Sorry.

Oyster: Thank you...and I'm sorry for not looking for you earlier. I will even help you get your pearl back.

Black Pearl: Thank you... *looks at Captain Caviar*

Captain Caviar: What? Do ya want an apology from me?

Black Pearl: Yes. Unless you wish to call these islands your new home.

Captain Caviar:...

Clotted Cream: Uncle Caviar.

Captain Caviar:...

Sorbet Shark: Ooooo Oooo!

Captain Caviar:...

Oyster: Caviar...

Captain Caviar: Fine...I'm sorry for making you mad...

Black Pearl: Thank you.

Captain Caviar: *breaths angrily* Now that that's settled, let us go home. In one piece.

Black Pearl: Very well. I'll follow close behind.

Clotted Cream: This is going to be a story to tell father and the other elders.

Knight: Yeah...that won't be an easy conversation.

Outpace the dawn

Gif by @silverformymonsters

Summary: BG3 Spawn ending Fix It fic! Because I refuse to let him deal with the sunlight alone.

Pairing: Astarion x Reader

Warnings/tags: SPOILERS obvsly, angst/comfort, non canon compliant.

Words count: 936 words.

A/N: It should be Gender Neutral, but if I fcked up since I tend to write from my pov, you can tell me and I'll correct it.

Yes the title is from that Hozier song. It got me thinking how Astarion would need to outpace the dawn from now on.

Astarion’s voice cut through the silence that followed your last battle, as your little group was gathering on a pontoon.

“So, what’s next for us?”

You had been thinking about what was to come for a while, actually. Probably longer than any of your companions have. Some might argue that it wasn’t the time for that, that you should have been completely focused on defeating the Netherbrain. But you couldn’t help it; it was a matter of life and death - Astarion’s life and death. Or rather, undeath and death. Since you’ve known that the brain was within reach, it had become an omnipresent apprehension in your mind.

The slaughter of the brain sounded the death knell of the tadpoles, and their disappearance inevitably meant that Astarion’s resistance to the sun would vanish like it never existed. Like nature rightfully reasserting itself by getting rid of this aberration that had been a vampire walking in the sun in the first place. 

This knowledge has been haunting you for days and nights now. It was your first thought when you woke up and your last when you fell asleep. A knot of dread had settled inside your stomach, making it hard to fall asleep and to interact normally with the source of your worries. And right now, following Astarion’s question, the knot in your guts got even tighter, even more painful.

At any moment, any second from now on, your vampire lover would catch fire as surely as straw in the summer. 

It was fine. You planned. You prepared for this. You procured a large, thick, hooded coat that was guaranteed to block the sunrays. It was even imbued with magic that made it impossible to tear, pierce, or rip in any way. It hadn’t been easy to acquire, but Astarion didn’t need to know that. 

You were on the lookout for any sign of burning, wound as tightly as a spring while still trying to appear normal to the others.

“The world is our oyster, and she has many pearls we can choose from.” claimed Astarion, blissfully unaware of his fate.

He illustrated his remarks by spreading his arms far apart with vigor. The genuine excitement, the happiness in his voice almost made you sick to your stomach. Astarion’s displays of authentic joy were few and far in between, and this one would end as soon as it started. As fast as a vampire spawn left in the sun, as a pile of ashes on the ground.

You could barely bear to look at him. You didn’t have the heart to remind him of his imminent doom. He obviously had forgotten about it for the time being, and while the cruel reality was taking up almost all the space in your brain, like blaring alarms, you’d be damned if you took away from him his last, his only instants of light and warmth, of complete freedom, by reminding him. No Cazador, no tadpole, no mind control, no deadly sunlight, no slave and no master. Just an immense ocean of liberty, intoxicating, vertiginous.

“I honestly don’t mind what we do, once we get to- Ow!”

You instantly straightened up at the sound, like a wild animal who picked up the sound of an upcoming danger. For a terrible second, there was a twisted part of you who felt relieved. Finally, your gnawing, agonizing wait was coming to an end. Then, swiftly, the relief disappeared, flooded with your concern for Astarion. 

“What the- Oh no. Oh Gods.”

Already his hands were fuming, his beautiful pale face sprinkled with silververy cracks like delicate porcelain. He had always looked more like a piece of art than a living being after all. The frantic panic in his voice was like a punch to the chest. In all your battles and struggles together, you had never seen him so horrified. Even against Cazador. Even a True Vampire had to yield to the Sun.

He threw you a harrowing look, like he was bidding you goodbye before bolting. As if you were going to leave him to deal with this alone. Already you were rushing towards him, the life-saving coat in hands. You wrapped it around him as fast as your hands would allow, put the hood on, and gently grabbed him by the shoulder, turning him so his covered back would take the blunt of the light.

“There we go, you explained softly. This will block the sun.” 

“You’ve got this, and I’ve got you.” you added, mirroring his own words.

You were smiling sadly, trying to be supportive, to not add to his burden. The look in his eyes was hard to describe, an intense blend of heartbreak, vulnerability, and gratefulness. 

“Well… It was… it was nice while it lasted.” he managed to articulate, his voice breaking like he was about to cry. 

You could feel your heart break in response like an echo.

The magic sunproof coat was in no way a solution. Barely a bandage on a sinking ship. You had to get out of the sun, quickly.

“Come on, love. Let’s get you some shadow, uh?”

Your encouraging smile was as fragile as a spiderweb. You could feel it teetering on the edge of an abyss. 

Astarion simply nodded, like he didn’t trust his voice anymore. It was fine. He was already expressing so much through his gaze.

You put your hand on the small of his back, barely applying any pressure, threw a telling look over your shoulder at your other companions, and you both started your search for protective darkness between the walls of Baldur’s Gate.

Hey if you still do requests can you do some fluff and you can choose what cookies it is

Y/N Cookie Interactions

Devsisters technically would give you interactions with ALL the cookies so none are left out, but man would it be a strain on the GBs somewhat

Crimson Coral Cookie: Thank you..for taking us in, Y/N Cookie..

Y/N Cookie: Things had been hard on you and the others, I want to help. You are not alone in this.

Crimson Coral Cookie: Y/N Cookie, I…I don’t know what to say.

Crimson Coral Cookie: But…you’re the first and only land Cookie I’ll ever fight for…

Hollyberry Cookie: Y/N Cookie, there you are! I was looking for you, old friend!

Y/N Cookie: Old? We haven’t known each other for that long, right?

Hollyberry Cookie: Haha! That’s how much I cherish our time together!

Y/N Cookie: Likewise, Hollyberry…

Hollyberry Cookie: Oooh, you’re too much! Come here, you~!

Y/N Cookie: Is it true that your next book is nearly done?

Linzer Cookie: Yes! It just needs the last few touches before I can call it complete!

Y/N Cookie: I’m so invested! Tell me, does the king/queen really get together with mystery novelist in the end? I need to know!

Linzer Cookie: Hmm…sorry, Y/N Cookie. I don’t do spoilers. Don’t worry, you’ll be the first to receive a copy~

Y/N Cookie: No way, I’m so excited!

Y/N Cookie: I’ve been hearing that you’ve been up to no good again. Would you kindly return the stolen valuables, please?

Chili Pepper Cookie: What?! No way! They shouldn’t have left them lying around if they didn’t want them getting swiped up!

Y/N Cookie: Hmm…maybe that little “date” of ours will have to be postponed then…

Chili Pepper Cookie: W-wait! Gah! Alright, I’ll give them back! Just…just please don’t cancel…

Y/N Cookie: Thank you, Chili..

Chili Pepper Cookie: (blushes) Whatever…

Oyster Cookie: It’s pleasant to meet a friendly face, yours especially.

Y/N Cookie: How was the pearl? I did my best to make sure it was to your standard.

Oyster Cookie: Y/N Cookie, my dear. It easily shines the most out of all in my collection. I can tell it was handled with the most care…

Y/N Cookie: Yeah, I did. I figured you could have more use with it!

Oyster Cookie: (softly chuckles) It’s almost as if it was meant for me! Come now, let us discuss over tea.

[twisted-wonderland-shenanigans]

Humans have the tendency to put poisonous plants in their mout and enjoy eating it ( coffee and anything that has effects of being spicy like chili peppers and weirdly we have the habit to eat things that are not good for us )

Like imagine anyone seeing the local human eating grapes out in the open or trying to make coffee?

Better yet eating chili peppers they found and make it part of their lunch

It'll be wild

If it looks edible, humans will put it in their mouth. That’s a fact of life—but not exactly a good idea sometimes! :V

Put a human in a world full of humanoid monsters where certain foods are toxic or can give them really bad tummy aches? You’ll either get a human complaining about a craving for something not readily available, or you’ll get this:

Yuu: *glancing around before sneakily eating bag of grapes*

Sebek: “Human! What are you eating?!”

Yuu: *freezes, shoving the grapes in their mouth before taking off at top speed*

Sebek: “HUMAN!! Get back here!!!”

*two hours later*

Ace: “Did you have to chase them up a tree?”

Sebek: “It’s not as if I intended to do so! The human shouldn’t have been hiding what they were eating in the first place. They are not a chipmunk!”

Yuu: *sitting on a branch high up, eating more grapes* “This is fine.”

Jack: “Wait, where did that bag come from?”

//----//

Granted, moments like these will calm down quite a bit once it’s clear that Yuu is—in fact—safe. But if the local human happens to be allergic to certain ingredients or foods, they’d better be prepared for quick hands swiping their food or getting tackled and rushed to the nurse’s office/the researchers. When the discovery that some monster students possess human DNA, this opens up a whole new world of food possibilities for them to try! In a supervised environment of course, and more on a volunteer basis just to ensure student safety.

Otherwise, Yuu will gain some snack buddies! 😃

Now, when it comes to mini!Yuu, as all little kids do, it’s highly likely that the toddler will try to put random things in their mouth.

//----//

Mini!Yuu: *playing in Jade and Floyd’s room, climbing up on Jade’s desk while Floyd isn’t looking and picking up a mushroom* “Oooh.” *goes to put it in mouth*

Floyd: “Eh, Shrimpy, what’s—Shrimpy, no!!” *bolts over and grabs the mushroom, holding it high over his head* “Don’t eat that!”

Mini!Yuu: “Why?”

Floyd: “Because mushrooms are disgusting. Bleck!”

Jade: *walks in carrying a small terrarium* “I thought I heard a commotion. Did something happen while I was away for a moment?”

Floyd: “Jade, little Shrimpy almost ate one of your mushrooms! Didn’t Azul tell you to keep your stuff away from them?”

Jade: “They did, did they? Oh my…I was only gone for a minute. Fufufu…well, it’s wonderful knowing that you were watching out for them, though I assure you that this particular mushroom is perfectly safe. It is a pearl oyster mushroom, one of the most commonly used in cooking. I had hoped to make a small terrarium of perfectly safe and non-toxic mushrooms for our dear little Yuu.”

Mini!Yuu: “I wanna try the mushy!”

Jade: “Of course, little one. Would you like to help me build your terrarium?”

Mini!Yuu: “Yes!”

Floyd: *groans*

//----//

And thus began the tiny toddler’s first part of the collection of terrariums and Floyd suffering. Jade’s just happy to have someone who will listen to him talk about mushrooms and plants he finds in the mountains, even if they don’t understand half of what he says! X’D

Anyway, as you can imagine, taking care of a child who doesn’t know what’s good and safe for them is difficult. Especially since—as any parent would tell you—it’s when you look away for just one split second that things can happen to a kid. Hence, why for some of them (Jamil, Vil, Rook, Trey, Jack, Crewel, and Trein), they’re able to just calmly reach over and snatch the dangerous food or object and replace it with something safer.

Then there are those who might end up freaking out/panicking. Funny to reminisce over, but not so funny in the moment 😂

Silvio: Carlo, what the fuck is this?

Carlo: P-propaganda for your continued glorious aquatic reign, sir.

Carlo: Do you know what the people call you, sir? The Pearl of Benitoite.

Silvio: (makes a dignified cough while sporting a furious blush) Is that right?

Carlo: (sniffs with pride) Yes, sir. You've been upgraded from Puppy.

Silvio: Shuddup! You're the one who got them to call me that in the first place!

Carlo: A-and I stand by it! Just as puppies must be protected at all cost, so must our crowned king!

Silvio: (blushes to the moon) I got no need for protection! I can protect myself!

Silvio: (kicks oyster plushie) And get rid of these!

Carlo: (hugs the plushie to protect it) Understood, s-sir. I'll proceed with the clam chowder ones.

Silvio: (incorrectly assumes the clam chowder plushies feature a chibi-him cooking clam chowder instead of being the clam chowder) Yeah, that's fine.

Your headcanons might just be my favorite ever!! Ily!! What about THG headcanons for how they would propose?? Or if you've dine that already, generally your wedding.

omg tysm!! you didn't specify just the guys like ppl usually do so just in case i'm gonna do all the characters i write for!! hope you like it!!

coryo (politician coryo specifically) would probably plan an elaborate but private proposal - as much he loves to show you off, to bring you to parties and brag about his partner, he does like to keep his vulnerable side hidden from most people, so i think he would want to propose with no prying eyes. he would give you some long, cheesy speech and buy you the finest ring possible.

finnick takes you to the beach he grew up on in district 4, and treats you to a beautiful evening of food and wine, swimming, and then proposes to you by putting the ring in an oyster and telling you to look for the pearl. when you pull out a ring instead, he just grins like a fool and pops the question. he definitely cries when you say yes and just hugs you for what feels like an hour straight.

gale just asks if you want to marry him one day, like it's a totally casual and normal thing to ask out of nowhere. if you say yes, then he'll go get the ring and ask you officially this time, probably in a nice secluded place in the woods.

haymitch does it similarly to gale - just super casual. he strikes me as a "go down to the courthouse and sign the papers" kinda guy when it comes to marriage. if he knows you want something more romantic, though, he'd do his best to plan some kind of dinner to pop the question.

johanna seems like she'd do it super dramatically, but i think she would actually be very romantic about it, but still casual. she takes you out and waits until you arrive back home to ask, in the safety and privacy of your house (and so she can push you back onto the couch for a make out session when you say yes).

katniss has no idea how to propose, i think you might have to do it tbh. she is just not super romantic, or at least, she isn't good at showing it. if she did propose to you, though, she would work her ass off to get you the nicest gift possible and would probably stutter and stumble over her words when she asked. she's a small wedding kinda gal too.

lucy gray would make it a whole big show. she plans a whole fancy day, probably makes you do some kind of scavenger hunt to find your ring, and probably asks you to marry her via a beautiful song. marrying lucy gray means the entire covey is gonna be partying all night long.

peeta is a classic romantic guy, he's gonna take you out to dinner and pop the question on a nice nighttime walk, and give you a whole sappy speech that makes you cry. he is just so genuine and charming about the whole thing.

sejanus is gonna be super nervous to pop the question, and probably overplan a whole fancy night only to end up asking you before his plan starts because you look so good in the outfit he picked out for you that he just blurts it out.

tigris would probably prefer to be proposed to, but if she were to pop the question herself, it would be a very chill and intimate moment. the ring she gives you is probably a family heirloom and she apologizes that it isn't anything fancier, but it is an absolutely beautiful ring and she would also probably make her own wedding dress.

“Yes,” I said, “it’s a sad occupation, and one that exists only to gratify the whims of fashion. But tell me, captain, how many oysters can a boat fish up in a workday?” “About 40,000 to 50,000. It’s even said that in 1814, when the English government went fishing on its own behalf, its divers worked just twenty days and brought up 76,000,000 oysters.” “At least,” I asked, “the fishermen are well paid, aren’t they?” “Hardly, professor. In Panama they make just $1.00 per week. In most places they earn only a penny for each oyster that has a pearl, and they bring up so many that have none!” “Only one penny to those poor people who make their employers rich! That’s atrocious!”

If this scene were told from Captain Nemo's perspective, we'd get to see him internally debating whether or not he should tell Aronnax what his home country is also doing.

dirty words — ft. floyd leech

synopsis: ignoring floyd leech after being teased

this was a discarded draft that i deemed too off-topic for the prompt!!

Soft lips were pressed against your ear as the moody twin whispered words that painted your cheeks in the brightest pink hues. When he pulled back, he silently admired your flushed appearance with a toothy smirk. He knows what he’s doing to you.

He noticed your quickening heartbeat and felt the warmth radiating from your face when he mumbled another dirty joke. His body was so close to yours. Floyd Leech showed you how much of a predator he was when he trapped you in one of Mostro Lounge’s booths during his break. Between his arms, you were unable to escape his crude words or hide your rosy cheeks from him.

You wondered if Floyd actually liked you or if you were just another one of his playthings. But with Floyd, it's best to keep your interactions on the safer side. What good is a relationship, if he drops you the second he’s bored? As bad for your heart Floyd’s flirting can be, you’d rather let him tease a relationship than ruin a perfectly good friendship asking for one.

Although Floyd’s mood swings might make him less emotionally dependable, his affection bettered your day more than anything else. A tight squeeze from your favorite eel when you fail a test or a pretty gem given to you after alchemy class always made you smile. But his kindness was a double-edged sword. The more you received, the more unwilling you were to settle on just being friends. You needed to get rid of your crush on him, and fast.

You thought that avoiding Floyd would make your crush on him disappear, but it only made your heart long for him more. On Monday, he tried giving you a pearl he ripped from an oyster. He said it made him think of you. You politely declined and left him standing in the middle of the emptying hallway as you turned to go to your next class. On Tuesday, he asked you to take a break with him during your shift together. You almost said yes, but a party of 18 was suddenly seated in your section, and no one was willing to cover you. When Wednesday rolled around, Floyd tried talking to you but you ran away from him, claiming that your club needed your help urgently.

Floyd finally catches you after class on Friday. He pulls you into a tight hug as he begs you to stop ignoring him.

When he questions, "How are we s'pose to date if you’re always avoiding me?” You realize that maybe you didn’t need to get rid of your crush after all.

a/n: I scrapped this from the “can we always be this close?” post because,,, floyd and the reader weren’t close at all for the majority of this fic,,, anyways! i hope you liked it! also, this is to tie everyone over until the big smau im releasing !!!

Could you share your thoughts on Madge?

The screenwriters/director apparently felt she was irrelevant, but she must have a deeper meaning to the series, right?

Oh wow, thank you for the question!!!

So yes, Madge's character sure does have a deeper meaning!

On the most surface level of the story Madge acts, in part, as a characterization for Katniss. As we all know, Katniss is a pretty unreliable narrator. She seems to be under the impression that she's just like Gale but here's a prime example of why she's not. Madge is Katniss's only friend, other than Gale. And she's not just a merchant kid, she's the daughter of the mayor. While Gale has a narrow viewpoint and see things much more in black and white(she claims he understands the socioeconomic differences are just the Capitols way to divide 12, but he has a really tough time extending empathy to people he doesn’t relate to, unlike Katniss who is incredibly empathetic when she takes time to put herself in the shoes of others), Katniss actually has a more nuanced understanding about the Seam/Merchant dynamic which later extends to deeper understanding to the other tributes and even Capitol citizens all really just being victims to their circumstances. With the director ditching (mostly, Gale still has a few choice words about merchants) the whole Seam/Merchant narrative her role is vastly diminished.

The pin that Madge gives to Katniss as a district token (and later the symbol of rebellion) is so much more important in the books because of who it used to belong to, Maysilee Donner, who was Madge's aunt (her mom's twin), Katniss's mothers best friend, and partnered with Haymitch in his games. It's most likely Haymitch's own experience in surviving the arena with Maysilee as a team that gives him the idea to partner Peeta and Katniss. Without Madge most of these connections are lost.

In the metanarrative Madge represents a lot more. She, through the symbolism of her name, offers salvation through sacrifice. She gives Katniss the pin:

"His eyes land on a small, circular pin that adorns her dress. Real gold. Beautifully crafted. It could keep a family in bread for months."

And then she basically risks her life to bring pain medicine for Gale, who hasn't been particularly nice to her:

When she opens it, there’s not a squad of Peacekeepers but a single, snow-caked figure. Madge. She holds out a small, damp cardboard box to me. “Use these for your friend,” she says. I take off the lid of the box, revealing half a dozen vials of clear liquid. “They’re my mother’s. She said I could take them. Use them, please.” She runs back into the storm before we can stop her.

Madge (and Mags) is short for Margaret, which is derived from the Greek word for Pearl (pearl is derived from the Sanskrit word for Pure). Peeta and Katniss are Pearls as well, so I'll expand on the pearl theme beyond just Madge.

Pearls themselves are created through sacrifice, traditionally the life of the oyster is forfeit for the gem. In some asian cultures the pearl represented the journey of the soul or spirit along the path to perfection (The Hunger Games trilogy is a retelling of Dante's Comedies- which represents the souls journey towards Paradise- the pearl symbolically represents Katniss’s inner arc). In ancient burials, mourners placed pearls in the mouths of the deceased. Since pearls apparently contained the principles of life, they hoped they could assist the dead on their journeys beyond. Mourners also decorated burial gifts and clothes with pearls.

Pearls are mentioned a LOT in the books. Here's a few quotes:

‘Well, if you put enough pressure on coal it turns to pearls!’” Effie beams at us so brilliantly that we have no choice but to respond enthusiastically to her cleverness even though it’s wrong.

He unzips the bag, revealing one of the wedding dresses I wore for the photo shoot. Heavy white silk with a low neckline and tight waist and sleeves that fall from my wrists to the floor. And pearls. Everywhere pearls. Stitched into the dress and in ropes at my throat and forming the crown for the veil.

As coal pressured into pearls by our weighty existence. Beauty that arose out of pain. Peeta rinses the pearl off in the water and hands it to me. “For you.” I hold it out on my palm and examine its iridescent surface in the sunlight.

I sit back on my bed cross-legged and find myself rubbing the smooth iridescent surface of the pearl back and forth against my lips. For some reason, it’s soothing. A cool kiss from the giver himself.

Katniss putting the pearl to her lips as both the mourner and the dead. We can actually infer that the pearl is a placeholder for Peeta.

But what exactly does the pearl represent beyond the obvious? There's the biblical symbolism and then there's literary symbolism.

There's a ton of Christian symbolism in these books, probably the most obvious being the Christ-like sacrifices that Peeta makes, he sacrifices his body to provide the life saving bread, and again in the arena which after spends three days in a cave, followed by his resurrection. The trilogy follows the Divine Comedies, Katniss as the heart and caught between Gale (the body) and Peeta (the spirit).

You shall bring from your dwelling places two loaves of bread to be waved, made of two tenths of an ephah. They shall be of fine flour, and they shall be baked with leaven, as firstfruits to the Lord.

Above from the Bible, below from The Hunger Games

It was the boy. In his arms, he carried two large loaves of bread that must have fallen into the fire because the crusts were scorched black.

Below is a quote from the Bible (Revelations) describing the 12 gates of Jerusalem. It could be written off as a coincidence, 12 gates, 12 districts, except that the 8th gate is the Cotton Merchants' Gate, which correlates to District 8, which is the district that manufactures textiles and uniforms.

And the twelve gates of the city were twelve pearls; each single gate was made from one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. 

In literary symbolism Pearl, (the daughter of Hester Prynne in the Scarlet Letter), represents several things. Pearl was the physical manifestation of Hester's sin (adultery), the pregnancy therefore making it apparent she had sinned. At the same time Pearl was a blessing, as without her she would have most likely committed suicide.

 “… Had they taken her away from me (Pearl), I would have willingly gone with thee into the forest, and signed my name in the Black Man’s book too, and that with mine own blood!”

This is similar to Katniss's thinking at the beginning of Mockingjay

Peeta. If I knew for sure that he was dead, I could just disappear into the woods and never look back.

Below is a quote from the end of The Scarlet Letter:

"Pearl kissed his lips. A spell was broken. The great scene of grief, in which the wild infant bore a part, had developed all her sympathies; and as her tears fell upon her father’s cheek, they were the pledge that she would grow up amid human joy and sorrow, nor forever do battle with the world, but be a woman in it. Towards her mother, too, Pearl’s errand as a messenger of anguish was all fulfilled."

And another quote from the near end of Mockingjay:

I lean in and kiss Peeta full on the mouth. His whole body starts shuddering, but I keep my lips pressed to his until I have to come up for air. My hands slide up his wrists to clasp his. “Don’t let him take you from me.” Peeta’s panting hard as he fights the nightmares raging in his head. “No. I don’t want to . . .” I clench his hands to the point of pain. “Stay with me.” His pupils contract to pinpoints, dilate again rapidly, and then return to something resembling normalcy. “Always,” he murmurs.

I delve a bit into the Divine Comedies in this post.

Name: Guppycruncher

Debut: Insaniquarium

Insaniquarium is a really, really stupid game. I love it! Look at the little freak that is Guppycruncher! This is an ambiguously arthropodian creature whose body consists of massive slicing mandibles, a head to power those mandibles, eyes, to seek out its next target, and legs to get it to its prey. Its prey are your beloved, valuable guppies. And best of all, Guppycruncher is your friend!

Here we have a Baby Guppy. The foundation of our entire gameplay experience. Take care of your guppies well, and they will reward you with money! As they grow, their rewards increase, and they may even grow up into a resplendent crowned guppy dropping dazzling diamonds! But sometimes that’s not a viable enough strategy. Sometimes you need money FASTER. And that is where Guppycruncher comes in!

You get no points for guessing what Guppycruncher does to guppies. You do however, get a smile! You are all winners :)

You may think it is silly that, in a game where the goal is to reach a certain amount of money by raising fish, you would intentionally purchase a creature whose sole purpose is to kill and eat these fish before they can even mature. Well, I’m here to tell you that YOU are the silly ones!

See? As Guppycruncher eats guppies, it creates Beetles! Yes, kids, this is where beetles come from! No, I don’t know what an “egg” is! Guppycruncher’s massive jaws make it look quite a bit like an antlion larva’s head, and it functions sort of like the opposite of a real antlion! Guppycruncher eats fish and spits out insects. Meanwhile, real antlions eat insects! And for all you know, they could be pooping out fish underground!

That all being said, I would not be at all surprised if Guppycruncher was inspired by the bobbit worm! Unlike an antlion, it jumps up to catch its prey, as a bobbit worm lunges out from its burrow! It’s like a bobbit worm head with legs. Also, I just want to mention that the butt-like shape of its head reminds me of how big dogs have a butt shape on the top of their heads due to their large jaw muscles! They probably did not have that in mind here, but it is fun anyway.

Anyway, Beetles are where the REAL money is! It quickly becomes more economical to have a steady supply of cheap little guppies in order to feed a growing army of Guppymunchers, since beetles are worth more than currency. But what if you want MORE? More than beetles? Frankly, how dare you ask such a thing. But fine.

Name: Beetlemuncher

“Finally! A use for all those pesky beetles!” -an utter fool

It’s true, I love beetles, and I belittle those who disrespect them, but boy howdy, I love Beetlemuncher, too! Beetlemuncher loves beetles, and in fact thinks they look good enough to munch! However, that will have to wait. Beetlemuncher has a more important mission.

Just kidding! Beetlemuncher’s purpose is to eat beetles. But why? Why continue to extend this cycle of creatures eating creatures? Because Beetlemuncher drops PEARLS! Like an oyster, except these pearls are BETTER, and more valuable.

Just like Guppycruncher, Beetlemuncher is a bizarre but delightful sort of creature! This one is a chameleon head with chameleon arms and a tadpole tail sticking out of it. I love it! In the files, it is known as “gekko”, but I just finished telling you it is more like a chameleon. Please trust me!

So, guppies eat fish food. Guppycruncher eats guppies, and makes beetles. Beetlemuncher eats beetles, and makes pearls. Nothing eats pearls, because pearls are a choking hazard, of course! I hope you have learned a lot about Fish today!
