can you do a Tom Blyth x reader where they are filming like a romcom or something and they fall in love over the course of filming? i was thinking fluff but i would not be upset if it somehow ended up with some smut in their trailer ;) , just follow your heart!! lots of love ❤️

ofc! I’m absolutely shitty at smut tho i might try with this one but idk so fluff it is❤️ it’s gonna have 3 parts bc it’s definitely gonna need more than a short post!

this first part isnt really when they're filming i just wanted Tom to have a slight crush after seeing ur story and wanted a small scene with Rachel and Josh!

So long I've been out in the rain and snow.

But the winter's come and gone, and a little bird told me so.

Part 1/Part 2/

(Tom Blyth x actress!reader)

summary: you and Tom meet for the first time while Josh is in the middle of the livestream. It's become the new famous ship of the internet.

You were one of the newest actresses in Hollywood and luckily you managed to grab a role with one of the most famous actors right now, Tom Blyth.

Ever since he starred in The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, people have been thirsting for him like he was water.

You wouldn't lie, you were one of them, but you two were supposed to meet in a coffee shop, reciting your lines and you were late.

" Oh you're [Name] [Last name], nice to meet you! Sorry, my friends decided to follow me here. "

Tom grinned, blue eyes twinkling in the sunlight, an apology gleaming in his pupils.

"No worries, it's fine! I'm so sorry I'm late, it was just traffic!"

" Don't worry, I'm just glad you made it!"

You took in a deep breath and extended your arm for a handshake. Surprisingly, he hugged you instead. You met the two 'friends' who are actually fucking Josh Rivera and Rachel Zegler who were seemingly livestreaming on Instagram.

" And here is the new couple! Say hi, you two love birds!"

Tom rolled his eyes before letting you go to tell Josh off.

" We aren't dating, we actually just met."

Josh turned, confused for a second before gazing at Tom's phone that was left on his chair.

"Wait, seriously? Didn't you see a post of her being your new co-star in that rom-com you're doing and started bragging a lot to Rachel and me? What's it?"

He thought for a minute before his eyes lit up and he smiled brightly.

"Oh, yeah! Sweet truth, where a girl had a bunch of exes tell lies and cheat but then finds a man who tells her nothing but the truth?"

Tom hissed and shut Josh up by covering his mouth, before he noticed Rachel leaning toward confused you, beginning to tell you the whole story.

His panicked face turned red.

" So it was a couple weeks ago, we were just calmly hanging out after reshooting some Ballad scenes when Tom showed us your Insta where you were like, I don't know, talking about the movie you're gonna be in! He was literally obsessed, I am not kidding."

She shrugged as Tom glared at her for spilling his secret.

"I'm sorry, I mean you're beautiful and I-"

He cleared his throat, unable to continue because of his embarrassment.

You giggled, shrugging.

" It's cool, I mean I think you're hot-I mean handsome too."

Inside you were literally screaming at yourself for exposing the fact that he's your celebrity crush.

" Uh, guys, I hope this isn't method acting because I'd be really disappointed in you, Tom" Josh snickered, sharing a mischievous glance with Rachel.

Tom rolled his eyes, smiling at you before beckoning to the chair beside him.

" Let's, uh, practice...?"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

✦ i.

the camera flashes blinded you as someone guided you towards a crowd of people with microphones. you almost trip over your floor length gown as you approach a shorter woman, no taller than 5'0. your security guard lingers behind you, ensuring no one tries to pull anything. you felt a bit overwhelmed. yes, you'd been exposed to this before, but it was still fairly new. the flashing lights, people screaming your name begging to get your attention, figures holding out posters and whatnot to sign, and of course, the red carpet interviews. they gave you a sense of comfort. you could focus on one person, talk to one person, and tune everyone else out for a short minute before you had to move on.

"hello dear, mind if i ask you a few questions?" focusing back into real life, you glanced at the woman holding a microphone to your face.

"no i don't mind. shoot." you replied, adjusting the strap on your dress.

"first of all, your role in this movie was small, but mighty. people online are loving it, they call you "panem it-girl." people have also been making edits, now my question is, have you seen any of these?" you chuckled at her question. you attempted to stay off social media as much as possible, but in this day, its very difficult. and the answer was yes. your own feed had been filled with lots of these edits. it was strange, seeing yourself on your screen, with others saying things like "panem it-girl" and "she deserved more screen time" and "iconic queen." the whole idea made you laugh, for your role in the movie had been fairly small, but your newfound fame had secured you a spot on the press tour.

"yes i have seen them. it's pretty weird, seeing myself, but i am just glad people love the character. to make a long story endless, i've always been a fan of the books so when this prequel came out i bought it as soon as possible. i loved clemmie the second i read about her, so it was really cool to be able to bring her to life, and i'm so happy people liked the way i played her." you replied. you tried to keep it simple, but sometimes you felt like there was too much to say and not enough time to say it, which led to extra long answers to really short questions.

you heard her shout a thank you as you were whisked to the next interviewer.

"hi, so nice to see you, who are you wearing?" the man asked. you glanced down at your dress that had taken you ten whole minutes to get into. the whole process of getting ready took three hours, not to mention the photoshoot your publicist encouraged. getting your hair just right took an hour alone.

"today i'm wearing versace. i was really inspired by blake lively's dress from the met gala and i thankfully have a great stylist who was able to find the perfect dress for me." you had always loved red carpet looks, and began to design your own in a fashion sketchbook when you were twelve years old. one of your favorite perks of being well-known was the ability to wear the dresses you had always loved.

the security guard whispered in your ear that it was time to go pose. you thanked the man interviewing you and walked away. as you approached the middle of the red carpet a few people caught your eye. rachel zegler was standing in front of the cameras, flashes of light every second without fail. you seemed to have caught her eye, she turned to you and waved. you returned the gesture and made your way to the place you were supposed to pose. the cameras began to flash as soon as you stepped in front of them. you positioned yourself into your signature pose, which showed off the best parts about you. rachel walked over and gave you a hug.

"you look great" she attempted to compliment you, but it was hard to hear her over the people shouting.

"you look better than i ever will." you returned the compliment and saw a disappointed look on her face.

"girl you know so well that's not true" she laughed before returning to her initial position, maybe a few feet closer to you now. you returned back to posing, the flashes still going off, your name being mixed with rachels, being called from ten different directions. you began to walk off when you heard cheering from your left. you turned to see who had arrived.

wearing a white blazer, a white, barely buttoned top, and black slacks was tom blyth. he had just stepped out of the vehicle dropping him off. you heard an overwhelming scream of voices. you had met tom on the set of the new movie, but had learned that you had both went to juilliard, and he graduated the year after you enrolled. there was a one year period where you too had been at the same school, yet never met each other. when the two of you first met, there was an immediate friendship. you guys drove to set together, practiced lines together, and hung out as many time as you could, squeezing in your busy schedule. but there had always been something more there for you. to you, he was the most charming, alluring, funny, kind person you'd met. it had always been one sided. you'd learned to suppress it, and accept that maybe he wasn't as interested in you as you were in him. while you were thinking, he had finished his interviews and was coming over to the two of you. you waved over to him and he flashed a smile at you. you approached him as he gave you a hug. you embraced it as much as you could.

"hey! how are you?" he asked. you glanced up at him. your height difference was perfect in your mind.

"i'm doing great, how are you?"

"fantastic." he replied. he looked around you, finally making eye contact with rachel. you watched as his face lit up, and your heart sunk a little lower. there was nothing going on between them, at least, that's what you'd known. but seeing him excited to see her gave you a sense of jealousy. you knew it was selfish, obviously he made the entire movie with her, why shouldn't he be more excited? but you couldn't control it. he patted you on the shoulder and watched as he gave rachel a hug. a much more meaningful hug, that's what it looked like, at least. he wrapped his arm around her waist and posed with her. you asked your security guard to take you away from the photo area, off the red carpet altogether, but he told you to wait because they wanted an all cast photo. you decided to go back and do more interviews. you approached another woman.

"hello." you greeted her.

"hi! im with letterboxed, would you care to give me your top four movies of all time?" you loved this question. you watched every video they posted of celebrities top movies. you'd never been asked before, and you had planned this out weeks in advance. it distracted you a little from your heart.

"i LOVE this question, i've been planning for weeks."

...

once the movie was over, you exited the theater and made your way to the afterparty. you changed into a much easier outfit. one you could dance in. you were going to need it anyways. the dress had a corset-esqe top, with a very short skirt. like sabrina carpenter. you put on some high boots and fiddled with your hair a little.

you entered the afterparty fashionably late. most people were already there. you recognized a few of your castmates from "the academy." you went over to them and got yourself a drink from the bar.

"you look amazing, drop the makeup routine right now." you heard one say. lilly cooper, the actress for arachne crane. you laughed at her, but promised you would. you talked to a few more people, the actress for livia cardew, actor for festus creed, and more. before you knew it, 45 minutes had passed. you ventured away from them, and into the more central area.

"girl get over here!" you heard. you pivoted on your heel and spotted rachel, tom, and josh. you happily walked over and gave josh a hug, you hadn't seen him all night. "this outfit is out of this world." rachel complimented. you did a little twirl to show off every bit of it. when you returned to your initial place, you saw tom laughing. a smile broke out on your face.

"im ready to dance guys, when's that happening?" you asked them. rachel grabbed your hand, along with tom's. josh followed you guys as you headed for the dance floor. they were now playing "breaking dishes" by rhianna, one of your all time favorite clubbing songs. you had always been proud of your dancing skills, and now was the chance to show off. on your way to the dance floor, you picked up another drink, and downed it as fast as possible. finally on the floor, you and rachel began to dance together. she spun you around and you did the same to her. soon, josh swept you away and you danced with him, making sure to one up every move he made. you felt yourself getting tipsy, but that didn't matter, what did was that you were having fun.

mid turn with josh, you felt yourself get pulled away again, a new hand holding onto yours. you looked up to see tom, who had ditched his jacket, and your pretty sure had unbuttoned another button or two, pulling you to dance with him. you agreed happily and began to dance with him. you had never noticed how good a dancer he was. every time you tried to one up him, he would pull out some move you hadn't seen before.

"i saw you trying to one up josh" he shouted over the music. "isn't going to happen sweetheart." he called you that as a joke, but you felt yourself getting red. your stomach dropped.

"wait here, i'm going to get another drink." you yelled, attempting to be louder than the already blaring music. he grabbed your arm and pulled you back.

"hey how many is that now?" he asked, referring to the amount you had drunken that night.

"oh please." you shook him off and went to get another drink. you downed it and returned back to him. you felt the drinks going straight to your head. he spun you and you felt very dizzy. too many drinks. you had always been a bit of a lightweight. three or four drinks was way to many. you continued to dance with him. he spun you again, this time returning you to him. he spun you back and he pulled you into his chest and you knocked into him. rachel came up behind you and you almost tripped on her feet.

"woah, you've had too much to drink." she immediately noticed. you tried to defend yourself, but found yourself slurring your words together. "yeah, you're done." she walked you over to a couch and sat you down. you laid down and your vision began to blur as you passed out.

...

you woke up the next morning on a sofa. but this sofa was not the same sofa from last night. this was your sofa, in the hotel you were staying at for the premier. somehow, you had gotten home. no idea how, no idea when, but you had gotten home. you immediately noticed your discomfort, you glanced down, seeing yourself in your outfit from last night.

after a shower and skincare, you still tried to ponder who had gotten you home last night. whoever it was knew your room, found your room key, and took care not to wake you as you were transported home.

you pushed the thought down, thankful for whoever did it, but stopped wasting time on it. you packed up your suitcase and made your way back home.

MY THOUGHTS ON THE OBC CAST RECORDING OF MEAN GIRLS.

‘A Cautionary Tale’: Honestly the best start to a musical ever. I’m obsessed with this song so much it’s insane. The little ‘nice’ from Damian and then ‘thank you’ from Janis after the ‘you can’t buy integrity from the mall’ line is SO SATISFYING. So good.

‘It Roars’: The transition into this song is so seamless and perfect and it’s so catchy. It shows how separated Cady is from society and it helps make sense of who she is, why she acts the way she does and how enthusiastic she is to finally join a more “normal community/society”. Does that make sense?. I am personally thankful that it was cut from the movie and replaced by ‘What Ifs’ because I just don't think it would’ve translated well. And that’s okay! Some things are better left untouched.

‘Where Do You Belong?’: “your mother called you babygirl?” “singing ha ha ha” SO GOOD. Damian is so funny. In the musical and the new movie Damian has so much more personality and more of a backstory and it’s so good. SO MAD THIS WAS CUT THOUGH. Grey slayed this song. The introduction to Damian and Janis for Cady. Perfect.

‘Meet The Plastics’: Silly silly Cady so so so curious. The way they describe the plastics in the beginning💀so funny. “MY NAME IS REGINA GEEEEORRRRRRRGE” LITERAL FUCKING CHILLS I LOVE TAYLOR LOUDERMAN. Her intro is so fucking real. HATE the 115 line tho. Thank goodness they changed it. Mad they cut karen and Gretchen’s parts from the movie tho 🙁 GRETCHEN’S VERSE IS SO GOOD BRO. straight and to the point. Karen’s intro is so funny. I love Karen. They could never make me hate her. “That’s it! :D” kate rockwell oh how i love you. WHEN ALL THEIR VERSES MERGE IS SO GOOD. i'm personally a Regina girl so I sing the ‘heeeeeres where you belong here's where you belong.’ “NO REALLY SAY IT.” SO GOOD. “come sit with us tomorrow! It’ll be fetch!”

‘Stupid With Love’: LOOOOOOVE. I used to not really like this song but it’s grown on me a lot and I love how unhinged Erika gets. “Do you have an eraser?” “i would love to :3” cadyyyyyyyy heroooonnnnnn. SO GOOD. “jinx!” “ha ^_^ IM ASTOUNDED AND NONPLUSSED. I AM FILLED WITH CALCULUST.” I LOVE HER. this song is so good. I also personally really like Angourie’s version too.

‘Apex Predator’: i can play this song on piano. SO GOOD. i love this song so much. Have you guys seen rachel zeglers cover? Cady using metaphors to present Regina’s behaviour and her power is so clever and it’s just so fun to listen to. When janis and cady both sing “she’s queen of beasts” THEY SOUND SO GOOD TOGETHER BRO. “HOW CAN YOU OUTSMAAAAARRRRRRRT THE APEX PREDATOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR”

‘What’s Wrong With Me?’: Gretchen :((( I feel like i cry to this song a lot. It’s just like, gretchen, honey, you dont deserve this. “Mama called me beautiful. Dont believe her anymore, now im listening to you.” REGINA LOOK WHAT YOU’VE DONE WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS SHE’S JUST A BABY😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 the final “WHAT’S WRONG WITH ME” AND SHE BELTS. SO GOOD. translated so well on screen.

‘Stupid With Love (Reprise)’: i’ve never been a big fan of aaron but i don’t have any issues with him but this is satisfying to listen to. “So i’m swearing off of dating.” “Shit.🥲” . “hey whats the date?” “october 3rd! MY NEW FAVOURITE DAY!”

‘Sexy’: KAREN I LOVE YOU. this song translates so well onto screen from stage. Kate slayed this song and so did avantika. I love how passionate karen is about halloween. This song is such a BOP too. The beat is so addicting. “I CAN BE” ateeee. She knows who she is and she SLAYED. When she lists the costumes. Chefs kiss. The whole sex cancer bit is so good. Thank you for curing sex cancer karen! “THIS IS MODERN FEMINISM TALKING. I EXPECT TO RUN THE WORLD IN SHOES I CANNOT WALK IN.” ICONIC. PERFECT. INCREDIBLE.

‘Someone Gets Hurt’: literal chills. Like actual goosebumps. “Yes i look perfect” yes you do. I can play this on guitar. SO FUCKING GOOD ISTG. so tense. I’d give in to her immediately. She’s so intoxicating i swear to god. This song captures regina SO WELL. there’s so many astonishing little vocal moments. Taylor louderman is literally one of my favourite vocalists of all time she’s so fucking good to listen to. The amount of emotion in her voice is incredible. “IT’S FINE FOR YOU IT’S FINE TO FLIRT. AND GOD YOU’RE HOT WHY DO YOU EVEN WEAR A SHIRT.” actually fucking insane i love her.

‘Revenge Party’: this song is so fun and actually batshit crazy i love it. It really shows how creative Janis and Damian are. This for me is where Cady turns for the worst. I hate the whole theme where they fuck with regina’s weight to take her down. It’s genuinely disgusting and thats one of my only problems with mean girls. Like ik they’re all mean girls but still. Gretchens whole meltdown is so fucking funny. I love gretchen so much. The final chorus is so fun.

‘Fearless’: gretchen not being able to function without having a “boss” is iconic but also someone get her a therapist. This song is so fun. Like all of them singing about not being scared of regina and then regina coming in and changing the song to the chords of SGH and then basically warning them that she will get them back. Again, CHILLS.

‘Stop’: MY FAV ATM. SO FUN. SO MAD THEY CUT IT FROM THE MOVIE. JAQUEL WOULD’VE SERVED. So catchy and addicting i love it so much. The “stop” before giving examples hits every time. “MY GOD GIRL, HE’S JUST A GUY!” SO TRUE!!! Janis calling out Damian about Phillip is so funny. Damian going insane over phillip is so funny. “For four whole weeks i trolled and dissed her. THEN I FOUND OUT SHE WAS HIS SISTER.” CRYING ITS SO FUNNY. Then all the girls saying their mistakes. It just gets gradually more sad. “Good work ladies lets take a break” A 5-6-7-8 ! “ TAP BREAK. ICONIC. Him calling her out by saying “stop. Being glued to your phone, counting followers and likes and IGNORING YOUR FRIENDS.” and then the. “She’s leaving! JUST LIKE MY DAD!” IS SO FUNNY.

‘What’s Wrong With Me? (Reprise)’: again with the “boss” :( also having mrs george in the reprise is so funny and it makes so much sense. Bless they’re both trying so hard. “You’ll be worshipped for years.. Then she’ll turn three and everything’s wrong with me” REGINA WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR MOTHER 😭😭

‘Whose House Is This?’: SO addicting and fun. “WHOSE HOUSE IS THIS? ITS MY HOUSE NOW.” im so thankful kevin kind of got a song. He’s so funny. “WHOSE HOUSE IS THIS?” “IT WAS ALWAYS MY HOUSE😭” SO FUNNY.

‘More Is Better’: am i the only one who thinks aaron kinda over-reacted here when he called cady a clone of regina… likeeeeee it’s not that deep bro. Also when it alludes to ‘i see stars’ is so cute. She’s JUST a girl. And she’s not wrong. Regina wouldn’t let that girl talk to him in a normal conversation. What else was she supposed to do? Aaron does have some points tho about how she’s changing herself to it in. but he shouldn’t be scrutinising her for it.. Like bro just reassure her that you like how she normally is… cutesy song tho

‘Someone Gets Hurt (Reprise)’: this entire sequence is genuinely insane and so fucking good and i am obsessed with barrett so much like she’s so talented. And Auli'i ate it up in the movie too.

‘World Burn’: GOOSEBUMPS. The start of this scene is so sad in the movie… TAYLOR LOUDERMAN ATE THIS SONG UP. not a fan of the use of the d slur tho. V happy they changed it for the movie. The intensity of this song makes me feel like im entering my villain era. “But you didnt finish my oooooofoffffff. MY NAME IS REGINA GEORGE.” CHILLS BRO CHILLS. “AND YOU CAN QUOTE THIS. WOAHOHOHOOOOOHHHOHHHH.” “MEAN. MEAN. MEEEEEEEEEEAN.” I LOVE HER BRO YOU DONT UNDERSTAND. “SOO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAN. I WANNA WATCH THE WORLD BURN.” I C O N I C.

‘I’d Rather Be Me’: i can play this song on piano too. It’s so good. I love it so much. Probably my fav when i first watched the musical. My fav thing is the chanting of “janis janis janis janis” and it is so satisfying. Im sad they cut it from the movie. Janis’ redemption arc is so fucking good. Love a queen who will do anything to be authentically themself. “everyBODY has opinions but tht doesnt make them true.” i prefer the ‘every asshole’ from the movie but the everyBODY still hits.

‘Do This Thing’: “YO YO YO MATHLETES STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS, WHAT! FIRST FEMALE EVER ON THE TEAM, WHAT! A BOXED LUNCH WILL BE PROVIDED, WHAT!” SO FUCKING FUNNY BROOOOO. “I’m a lean, mean, math machine” okay cady. Whatever floats ur boat queen. That line kinda hits. The part where they’re solving equations hits so hard. Kevin is so funny. “YOU LIKE THAT MARYMOUNT?!?!” cady ate it up towards the end. This song is so good.

‘I See Stars’: this song is so cvnty i love it. It makes me lightheaded when i karaoke it though so god bless erika henningsen for doing it 8 times a week. This song is so cutesy i love it. The perfect ending. Cady’s redemption was so well written bro. And i love this song. Not my favourite but it’s still on my playlists.

Preparing for "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes"

I'm going to talk about the Hunger Games series some more because I'm in a hyperfixation.

If you saw the movies and/or read the books awhile ago, you might need a bit of a refresher before seeing The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (in theaters November 17!).

BALLAD is set 64 years before the events of The Hunger Games. It is takes place around the 10th Annual Hunger Games and Katniss competes in the 74th Hunger Games.

So really you just have to remember that Panem is a the country and they have Hunger Games. That's pretty much it. Ballad deals with how the Hunger Games themselves went from being a plain punishment to a spectacle that is still a punishment. You'll see.

There are only two characters from the first movie series in the prequel, as far as I know.

The first is this jerk:

Coriolanus Snow was originally played by Donald Sutherland and will now be portrayed as a teenager by Tom Blyth.

The other is a character you might not remember.

Tigris Snow appeared VERY briefly in the movie Mockingjay Part 2 (and the book Mockingjay). She was played by Eugenie Bondurant. We learn she was a stylist for the Hunger Games. Her heavily tatooed and feline appearance surprises Katniss. The director Cressida approaches her, saying she was part of Plutarch Heavensbee's underground. Tigris smiles when Katniss says she's going to kill President Snow and shelters Katniss's squad.

So it was a bit of a shock when Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes the book came out and revealed that Tigris is Coriolanus' cousin, who practically raised him because his mother died in childbirth.

In Ballad, Tigris is a cinnamon roll too pure for this world played by Hunter Schafer of Euphoria. I don't think it's a spoiler to say that we do not know what happened to her in between the two time periods. (Suzanne, if you are reading this, we need a Tigris novel. Or at leastanother novel in which she appears.)

I'd like to know if Tigris did her body modifications because she wanted to (I hope) or if it was to disguise her appearance (but she kind of draws attention to herself?) or maybe to cover up some scars? I'm worried about her. (Anyone got theories?)

Family Members

We do see some characters that are related to characters that will appear in the main trilogy.

Lucky Flickerman, played by Jason Schwartzman, is related to Cesar Flickerman, played by Stanley Tucci. Both are TV presenters that are involved with the production of the Hunger Games.

Snow is also classmates with members of the Crane and Heavensbee families. Seneca Crane (Wes Bentley) was the Gamemaker with the funny beard in the first movie. And Plutarch Heavensbee (Philip Seymour Hoffman) was a key figure in the revolution that eventually overthrows Snow in Mockingjay Part 2.

TLDR, the elite families of the Capitol are insular. They all go to the same school and live in the same area. Outsiders are not welcome. Especially outsiders from the Districts.

Other Connections

SONGS

Ballad will also follow a female tribute from District 12. For the 10th Hunger Games that is Lucy Gray Baird, played by Rachel Zegler. Lucy Gray is very different from Katniss. She is a singer and performer, not a hunter. Her family is a group of other children that were once part of a traveling singing troupe called "the Covey". (They are now kind of stuck in 12 since the Rebellion.)

The song "The Hanging Tree" that Katniss sings in Mockingjay Part 1 is a part of Ballad. We learn that Lucy Gray wrote that song. And it is implied that the littlest member of the Covey, Maude Ivory, is related to Katniss' father. She is probably his mother or grandmother, which explains how Katniss knows the song more than 60 years later. (This theory has not been confirmed by Suzanne Collins but makes the most sense.)

Keep your eye on this little one.

BIRDS

Also you may wish to refamiliarize yourself with the fictious creature called the Mockingjay. The book Ballad features the bird itself, whereas the movies mostly focused on it as a symbol of the revolution (Katniss).

But mockingjays are hybrid birds created when the Capitol's genetically engineered jabberjays (these were seen in the arena in Catching Fire torturing Finnick and Katniss with their lifelike screams) mated with mockingbirds and a new species came about. Thereafter they were associated with the rebellion against the Capitol as a symbol. Katniss says they were something of a "slap in the face" to the Capitol--a sign they didn't actually have total control.

This symbolism will be furthered when Katniss herself wears a mockingjay pin into the arena and Rue teaches her how to use them to signal to each other. And then it becomes a whole thing where Katniss "is" the Mockingjay and that's the title of the third book/third and fourth movies.

˙✧˖° — name: valeria “ria” cortez.

˙✧˖° — pronouns: she/her.

˙✧˖° — occupation: country singer and songwriter.

˙✧˖° — faceclaim: rachel zegler.

˙✧˖° — love interest: nico hischier.

˙✧˖° — theme song: “always sing” by raelynn.

˙✧˖° — summary: despite being born and raised in kentucky, ria has always had a close relationship with her cousins quinn, jack, and luke hughes, and by extension their love for hockey. even after being signed to a country music label at the young age of nineteen and quickly gaining success in the music industry, fulfilling the dreams she’s had since she was a little girl writing nonsensical songs in her journal, her support for her cousins remains, as does her appreciation for the sport they play, with the young woman making every effort to go to all her cousins’ games that she can make it to and even attending home games for the nashville predators when she can. and it is while attending a devils game to support jack and luke that ria meets her cousins’ captain, who might cause her to form another connection to the game of hockey.

˙✧˖° — name: casper mallory.

˙✧˖° — pronouns: he/him.

˙✧˖° — occupation: defenseman for the philadelphia flyers.

˙✧˖° — faceclaim: tom holland.

˙✧˖° — love interest: jamie drysdale.

˙✧˖° — theme song: “northern attitude” by noah kahan.

˙✧˖° — summary: for nearly the entirety of his hockey career, casper has been brazenly defying the stereotype of all canadians being overly nice; at only twenty-three, he’s one of the most common fighters in the nhl, and his fellow flyers scarcely see a game go by without him being shoved into the penalty box. he’s certainly not nice off the ice either, with his barely repressed disdain for the media and tendency to get into bar fights after games. truly, casper mallory seems to make it his mission to push everyone away with his anger - but his team’s newest member, a trade from anaheim who seems to be perpetually smiling, has made it his mission to tear down the other boy’s walls, and casper isn’t entirely sure that he wants to stop him from doing it.

˙✧˖° — name: allison “ally” tanaka.

˙✧˖° — pronouns: she/her.

˙✧˖° — occupation: tattoo artist.

˙✧˖° — faceclaim: lyrica okano.

˙✧˖° — love interest: joseph woll.

˙✧˖° — theme song: “team” by lorde.

˙✧˖° — summary: ally has never really been the girl that most people have wanted to date. with her dark wardrobe, tattoos, and perpetual so-called “resting bitch face,” she was more likely to send a cute person running away than to draw them closer to her. and while she likes to tell everyone she’s fine with that, and while she would never change her appearance for anyone, there has always been a part of her that yearns to actually have someone look at her the way the girls in the romance novels she secretly reads are looked at. so when a cute hockey player who is almost ally’s exact opposite comes into the tattoo parlour where she works late one night, chasing after his drunk teammate and trying to discourage him from asking for a tattoo… well, she might not expect it at the time, but she’s about to begin a journey that will lead her to exactly what she’s always wanted.

˙✧˖° — name: benjamin “ben” bradshaw.

˙✧˖° — pronouns: he/him.

˙✧˖° — occupation: center for the vancouver canucks.

˙✧˖° — faceclaim: kit connor.

˙✧˖° — love interest: matthew knies.

˙✧˖° — theme song: “clementine” by halsey.

˙✧˖° — summary: ben has been alone for most of his life. whether it has because he was left to look after himself while his parents went on yet another business trip, or because he was eating lunch by himself in high school yet again because he was too shy to make friends, or because he was ignored by his college hockey team any time they were off the ice because none of them wanted to associate with the division’s only openly gay player, he’s never really had friends, anybody he can lean on and count on; all he’s ever had is hockey. so when he finally, after what feels like so many years of working for it drafted to the nhl and finally finds a group of supportive and caring friends with his new team, even striking up unlikely friendships with a few players from other teams, it’s hard to describe how ecstatic ben is that he doesn’t have to be alone anymore. but then his feelings for a certain maple leaf start to grow into more than just friendship, and all of a sudden ben is terrified - he doesn’t want to be alone again, but if he doesn’t figure out what to do about his feelings for matthew knies, he just might find himself in danger of it.

˙✧˖° — name: morgan jennings.

˙✧˖° — pronouns: she/they.

˙✧˖° — occupation: pop singer and songwriter.

˙✧˖° — faceclaim: reneé rapp.

˙✧˖° — love interest: quinn hughes.

˙✧˖° — theme song: “you’re on your own, kid” by taylor swift.

˙✧˖° — summary: a proud vancouver native - and a lifelong hockey fan, thanks to her mother - morgan has adored the canucks since they can remember, and relished getting to go to games whenever she could as a kid. but ever since their success as a singer skyrocketed and she became one of the most recognizable pop stars on the planet, they haven’t exactly had a lot of time to go to hockey games - so after ending her relationship with their most recent ex, she decides to run back home under the excuse of writing songs for a new album about their home city, determined to attend as many canucks games as she can while they’re at it. the ultimate goal is to reclaim the things she loved as a kid, to find their way back to who she used to be - they just don’t quite expect to develop a bond with the captain of the team she’s been loving their whole life while she’s at it.

˙✧˖° — name: harriet “harri” chadha.

˙✧˖° — pronouns: she/her.

˙✧˖° — occupation: university history major.

˙✧˖° — faceclaim: avantika vandanapu.

˙✧˖° — love interest: jack hughes.

˙✧˖° — theme song: “bubblegum bitch” by marina.

˙✧˖° — summary: harri had been making a habit of subverting people’s expectations for a very long time. after all, nobody had expected a girl who wore as much pink and cared about her appearance as much as she did to have graduated high school early; nobody had expected her to be studying history in university so that she could be a professor herself some day; and certainly nobody had expected her to become friends with one of her male classmates without dating him, much less one of the school’s best hockey players (although of course that was a stupid assumption, she had always thought, that girls and boys couldn’t be friends without being attracted to each other). but it was very much true; harri and luke hughes had clicked and become good friends not very long after knowing each other, understanding each other on a very important level, with luke being one of the few people who saw through all the pink and makeup harri wore to who she truly was. and when harri is able to attend a devils game to support luke and finally meets his older brother jack, it doesn’t take long for her to realize that the middle hughes brother truly sees her as well… the problem is that, unlike with luke, harri doesn’t think she’ll be able to be happy just being his friend.

˙✧˖° — name: kelani “lani” halia.

˙✧˖° — pronouns: she/her.

˙✧˖° — occupation: right winger for pwhl minnesota.

˙✧˖° — faceclaim: auli’i cravalho.

˙✧˖° — love interest: luke hughes.

˙✧˖° — theme song: “that’s my girl” by fifth harmony.

˙✧˖° — summary: it has been obvious to almost everyone who knows the two of them that luke hughes has been in love with lani halia since she first creamed him in a shootout on umich ice… everyone, it would seem, but lani herself. lani has always been too focused on hockey for romance, too focused on achieving her dream of making it pro so she could finally prove everyone who had doubted her wrong, which had left luke, try as he might, unable to really find a way to act on his feelings. and now, with the two of them both finally playing in the professional leagues, luke’s path to lani’s heart has just been made that much rockier… but a hughes is nothing if not determined, especially when it comes to the youngest son and the girl he’s head over heels for.

People on Twitter are having an annoying age gap discussion about Rachel Zegler and Josh Andres Rivera. This is all a bigger picture issue. Because I’m bothered and concerened by how lightly “grooming” has been thrown around as a term these days.

As someone who’s been following Rachel since she did covers in her bathroom, people need to dig into the context more. Yes, Josh and Rachel met when she was 17-18 but they did not date immediately. They hit it off but not in that way. They became close friends and it was very much platonic at first.

Enter COVID-19, the chapter people forget. One whole year people cooped in their homes. Rachel and Josh still weren’t dating. They were very much platonic friends. It wasn’t until West Side Story promotions in late 2021 they got together. By that time, Rachel was 20. Almost before the year ended, something shifted. We all know their anniversary was October and the timeline fits because by the second half of the year, energy shifted in Rachel’s posts with and about Josh.

And just to make people think. Why weren’t y’all questioning Andrew Garfield’s age gap with Emma Stone? They too had a 5-6 year age gap. Given Emma was already 23 when they met, but when people throw the “Her brain isn’t developed by 25” argument around it sounds absolutely hypocritical.

Now, I’m not defending their age gap. Personally, I wouldn’t date someone more than five years older than me. But here’s the thing. Relationships can be complex. It could’ve been a slow development relationship, but it also could’ve been as quick as a month. It’s not one size fits all. Also, let’s not throw around the term “grooming” so easily. There are real victims of grooming we need to protect.

EDIT: Just remembered something. If I’m not mistaken, both of them were with other people or getting over breakups when they met. I could be wrong. Need older and bigger Rachel Zegler fans to confirm this.

#i really am not trying to defend their relationship #but based on what i remember #through social media posts #they were purely platonic at first #i was actually shocked when they started dating #cause they were really just friends at first #then boom #rachel zegler #josh andres rivera #west side story #ballads of the songbirds and snakes #broadway #theatre kids

Also can we talk about those little Appalachian culture moments?

I actually grew up there (Chattanooga outskirts, so not SUPER Appalachian, but enough LOL) and when we moved to the Midwest I suddenly realized that traits I’d never considered before were betraying me! Specifically how I talked! Like even my most professional voice sounded so painfully Tennessee Valley-Appalachian and it was incredibly othering.

I never considered how Lucy Grey would definitely have an accent until she opened her mouth in the Capitol and suddenly had such a noticeable one!!! I felt so seen!! You never think about how you talk at home, you’re just normal. Until suddenly you’re an outsider every time you speak. It’s a moment I’ve felt before, and it was extremely effective on-screen!

Then when Coryo comes to 12 the inversion of that is incredibly fulfilling - especially the bar scene!

When Maude ivory jumps on stage and announces the next set and it’s almost unintelligible, I about lost it!!!! It was so funny, and I felt so seen again! Like yeah that’s exactly like what that feels like lmao! You bring your boyfriend home and he literally can’t understand your family’s dialect 😭😂 (and also he’s now painfully aware of just how much you change your voice to be understood)

I thought that was great and really added to the feeling of Coryo and Lucy’s respective othering in each other’s communities!

YES!

i LOVED lucy gray's accent -- in my head i always imagined her sounding kind of like dolly parton (i think it's something about the way the scene in the hob is written -- something about her dialogue just sounds so dolly-ish to me) and i loved that they really leaned into it (and it supports my theory that part of the reason jlaw and jhutch were cast in the og movies is bc they're both from kentucky, even if they don't have super strong accents, haha!)

and i feel like it really emphasizes one of my personal favorite themes from tbosas which is the way political resistance is woven into the fabric of american folk music and so much of that tradition does grow out of appalaicha and the particular and specific music tradition of that area. (and why me and the queen herself rachel zegler are both galaxy brains for putting bob dylan on our lucy gray baird fanmix playlists because bob dylan is one of the foremost figures in the american folk revival movement of the 1960s and so much of his songwriting derives from appalachian folk traditions!) (well technically miss rachel put a joan baez cover of dylan on her playlist but, like, she gets it; it's all about folk music and politics and art as revolutionary)

#answered #anonymous #tbosas #this answer is much less coherent HAHA

I’ve been a fan of Rachel Zegler since she was uploading musical covers in her bathroom like that’s been my girl since day 1.

Unless she does or says something truly horrific or doesn’t align with my morals, I’m gonna stand by her and support her!

I hate that she became a victim of a relentless and disproportionate hate train…not when her coworkers were the awful people but nooooo pile on the new and upcoming young actress

Anyway, I hope the new hunger games makes everyone look at her with more kindness and empathy

And people ought to be more forgiving to young women btw

the ballad of songbirds and snakes initial review/reaction

(spoilers ahead)

okay first of all. i absolutely loved it and thought it was very truthful to the book and covered all the main elements. francis lawrence just knows how to bring these books to life. tom blyth is just incredible as a young coriolanus snow and i can’t wait to see where his career takes him. i already loved rachel zegler after her performance in west side story, but it just felt like lucy gray was meant for her. her charisma, vocals and acting were just beautiful. the scenes where she’s singing with the covey really just brought those scenes from the book to life. the movie was fast paced and generally entertaining to watch. it felt so good to be back in this world that suzanne collins has created so exquisitely.

the only things i think were lacking, and i did think this when reading the book itself, is that the story feels a bit disjointed. like you’re jumping from place to place. i think the third act should be more fleshed out- more of snow’s time in 12, particularly the events leading up to his betrayal of lucy gray and sejanus. i’d like to see a bit more build up and suspense to those actions. i feel like they feel a bit too impulsive and sudden in line with the overall story. also the end scene at the cabin didn’t make as much sense without him founding out on the morning of running away about his transfer to district 2 imo. bc that felt like his motivation for turning on lucy gray, whereas in the movie he knows about that a lot earlier ?? i also think some scenes could have packed a bit more of an emotional punch? especially some of sejanus’ scenes that felt a bit cut short- like his reaction when marcus is hung up in the arena and his death scene. in general i feel like sejanus’ character and his relationship with coriolanus could have been more fleshed out in the movie.

overall i really enjoyed it and i can’t wait to see it again. it feels like a valuable addition to the franchise. i just don’t feel like it packs that emotional punch that the original trilogy does - but obviously there’s a lot less time to build up the storyline and character relationships in one movie/book. i’m also glad i reread the book before i saw the movie, bc i could hear people whispering around me when they didn’t understand certain things that were going on.. this feels like a movie for the fans, and i don’t know if it will resonate with general audiences as well

#the ballad of songbirds and snakes #tbosas #tbosas spoilers #i’d love to hear other people’s opinions!!#not included: tom blyth as coryo is hot af and i considered running away to a cabin with him #i’ve seen a lot of comparisons to catching fire online #i kinda see why bc it has that same kind of 3 part structure #but catching fire is still superior imo #i just felt like there was too much in this boo to fit into one movie and parts felt a bit rushed and jumping from one thing to another #without any continuity or flow #but i also feel like breaking it into two parts would draw it out too much ?? so you can’t win #OH ALSO i wanted to see more of snow just hating mockingjays for no reason #i feel like that was a really important motif in the book that wasn’t really explored in the movie #like in the book he’s just got this constant inner monologue of complaining about sejanus and the mockingjays basically

basketball star PT 11

With her outfit chosen and a sense of readiness settling in, Y/N decided to pull her hair into a messy ponytail. The casual yet stylish look complemented the overall vibe she was going for. As she stepped out of the bathroom, the playful sounds of the Wii game filled the air, accompanied by the unmistakable voice of her little sister.

Elena's exclamation, "You're a bitch for shooting a banana in front of my race car!" echoed through the living room, causing Y/N to burst into laughter. She couldn't help but find amusement in the animated gaming scene before her.

Y/N walked into the living room, witnessing the dramatic exchange between Julie and Elena. The two were deeply engrossed in their game, each accusing the other of foul play. Elena, with her competitive spirit, wasn't holding back.

Still chuckling, Y/N decided to interject, "Elena, we don't use that language, especially with guests. Julie is trying her best."

Elena, unfazed and sticking to her guns, shot back, "But she's cheating!"

Julie, a twinkle of mischief in her eyes, teased, "Hey, it's called strategic gameplay, little one."

Y/N, stern but amused, wagged a finger at her sister. "No name-calling, Elena. Be nice."

With a huff, Elena crossed her arms but mumbled a half-hearted apology. Y/N, enjoying the lively banter, couldn't help but appreciate the dynamic between her best friend and her baby sister.

As Y/N warned her baby sister about the language and stepped in front of the TV to get their attention, both Julie and Elena groaned in unison. Y/N chuckled at their playful protests, feeling a sense of warmth at the sight of the two most important people in her life engaged in their own little world.

With a serious expression, Y/N told Elena, "I'm about to leave in 10 minutes, okay? If you need anything – snacks, drinks – ask Julie. And be nice. No teasing Lexa, got it?"

Elena, looking a bit disappointed at the prospect of Y/N leaving, nodded reluctantly. "Fine, but only because you're going on a date with a movie star."

Y/N smiled, ruffling Elena's hair affectionately. "Not a movie star, just a coffee date. And no sodas after 4. You know what happens when you're hyperactive."

Julie, joining the conversation, chimed in, "Don't worry, Y/N. I've got everything under control. We'll have a blast, won't we, Elena?"

Elena, now more enthusiastic, nodded, "Yeah, Julie promised to let me pick the next game."

Y/N, satisfied that her sister would be in good hands, turned to Julie. "Thanks for this, Julie. I appreciate it."

Walking Y/N to the door, Julie offered words of encouragement. "You're going to do great. Just be yourself, and enjoy the date. We've got everything covered here."

As Julie opened the door, Y/N looked back at Elena on the couch. "I'll see you later, Seastar. Be good for Julie."

Elena, with a cheeky grin, shouted from the couch, "Good luck on your date, Y/N! Bring back a celebrity autograph!"

With a final wave, Y/N stepped out of her apartment, closing the door behind her. The countdown to the coffee date with Rachel Zegler had officially begun, and as she walked toward the elevator, a mix of excitement and nervous anticipation accompanied her every step.

hunger games anon here and yes!!! so many connections and references it was so overwhelming when the dots connected. i loved lucy gray so much (and im a long time fan of rachel zegler (since she was a junior in hs making yt covers in her bedroom lol) so i am so excited to see her play lucy (and it feels like the PERFECT casting, even just reading the book she is who i pictured).

spoiler for the hanging scene as well but i thought there was absolutely nooo way snow would let it happen. but then again i also thought surely he wouldnt ever ACTUALLY record and send the audio off to the capitol, either. :/. and when he took advantage of the plinths and their money at the end???? ouchhhh.

and when sejanus cried out for his mom..... oh it basically killed me. i put my book down for a good 30 minutes and just processed it.

honestly tbosas might be my fave in the entire series (with catching fire being second). but arguably my favorite thing abt ballad is that we can see snows actual descent into evil, into the snow thats present in the main series.

the way it starts off with him as just a poor, scared kid trying to make his dead parents proud and him having to make sacrifices to get there, to the way he took such pride in his capitol and home without ever realizing it was the capitols fault he was poor and scared and without parents in the first place.

then the way it shifts to him realizing using people to get what he wants is the *only* way to get what he wants, and seeing him accept that, and seeing him use it to his advantage.... sickening.

maybe because its so realistic in the sense that i understand what his thought process was and it really shows that under correct circumstances, that type of thing could happen to anybody.

literally just bone chilling idk.

sorry for writing an actual essay in ur inbox, none of my friends are into thg so this is basically all the thoughts ive kept to myself abt this book for like a year LMAO

yess rachel is great casting!!! unsure about snow's casting bc i dont know the guy, but i'm sure he'll be great! i am very excited about hunter schafer as tigris!!!!

i actually meant the first hanging scene, the one the song is based on!! that connection was just, it overwhelmed me. but yes, i did not expect that for sejanus </3 snow taking advantage of his parents at the end really did sum up how far he had fallen. there was also a line about how he'd taken back the money he sent to tigris and the grandmama, which just summed it up for me. i'd honestly love just a whole book dedicated to tigris because her line about 'be kind coryo, try not to look down on people who had to choose between death and disgrace' hit really hard, and implied so much about her character. how did she go from his most beloved cousin, to helping the mockingjay? i would love that story.

also never ever apologise for an essay in my inbox, i love it!!!!
