I'm just thinking about people who say Snow despises Katniss because he sees Lucy Gray in her...but what feels more painful to me is that Katniss (and Peeta to a certain degree) not only embodies the qualities that the capitol despises the most regarding the districts, but Snow can see so many people involved with those 10th hunger games tributes in her:

He sees Lamina looking at Marcus in pain and killing him out of sheer mercy in Katniss shooting Cato as a mercy kill.

He sees Reaper Ash's burial and defiance by giving his fellow districts a dignified death and sepulture when Katniss remained by Rue's side and decorated her grave with flowers.

He kind of sees Coral, albeit in a much more ironic way, this girl who was ruthless and embraced such violence with the purpose to protect herself and her district partner, the one she nurses back to health and refuses to leave behind, with the wish to have either one of them survive the games, only to realise it was all for nothing once she loses him and is about to die, when she loses her frail little sister at the hands of District 13.

He sees Sejanus standing for the revolution and fighting for others in detriment of his own safety, maybe not even taking the best judgement at times, in Katniss and not only her protection of Peeta, Rue, Mags, Wiress, but also her general place in the rebellion and restless pursuit of saving Peeta.

He sees Lucy Gray, who stood by Jessup's side until his last breath and refused to abandon him, that never conformed to what the capitol expected from her, and her long lasting and unbreakable heritage and print in Katniss' during the entire saga, but especially in the song that haunted him once as a reminder of the monster he truly is, and that came back to haunt him again in his downfall.

But most importantly, he sees himself, a man defined by his sense of survival, by his practicality and selfpreservation, in this less than 18 year old girl, and that's what terrifies him the most about that district 12 girl: the fact she forces him to confront that he caused so much pain out of a hunger that was never justified, that he could have made SO many things differently, and that most importantly, different to what he would try to say to himself, there was always another choice, and he might have not chosen the correct one every single time it came to deciding what path to take.

unpopular opinion but i dont think jade or floyd would give their s/o a matching earring that they share with their brother. those two have a special bond in those earrings that cant be replicated by anyone else because they fought that sturgeon. they won together. it just doesnt feel right to me that something so meaningful to them, something they wear every day, would just be given to someone else.

#idk it just reminds me of those things where you have a special nickname for someoen and then someone else starts calling them that too #or when you thought you had something special with someone but it turns out that they just share that thing with everyone #and maybe its just me but those earrings are the *tweels* thing and i cannot see them giving their s/o an earring #that matches the one they share with their brother #NOW because sturgeon scales are seen as lucky charms in the coral sea #im not saying they wouldnt give their s/o jewelry with those scales #like a bracelet or a necklace or even an anklet #i can see them being fascinated with ankle jewelry #auburn's rambles <3

One of my favorite things about Staghorn is that aside from being the cheekiest of the crew, they're also the only one who actually takes their job seriously

Like they like to poke fun with Caviar (nicknaming him things like "Cap"), tease Blue Coral and even scaring Rookie for fun, but when it comes to standing guard, they suddenly put on a serious face

I ESPECIALLY love their mannerisms towards Oyster too. The other sailors were caught off guard by her appearance (Especially Blue Coral) but Staghorn IMMEDIATELY pulled out their formalities all calmly. LIKE not even Caviar is this formal towards Oyster

#i love staghorn so fucking much #its so funny how formal they get #i know blue mocks their formal talk #they probably get a higher pay /j #cookie run kingdom #captain caviar cookie #republic sailor cookie 1 #staghorn coral cookie #salty shark crew #squees rambles

just thinking about the recent stories from the latest update with rafayel going to raymond's funeral, how talia was singing not to raymond and how rafayel positioned the specific flowers (gardenias) towards the lemurian skeleton and not raymond. then thinking back to how raymond was so fascinated by the painting that rafayel made and how thomas had to beg rafayel to allow raymond to buy it. and it makes me wonder, had he obtain the painting after the lemurian skeleton? my silly little thoughts want to say something along the lines of...

raymond had obtained the lemurian skeleton long before the painting that rafayel made. and perhaps something about the lemurian skeleton could have been what had kept him alive. we know that lemurian's blood can resurrect or make one live forever. maybe raymond found that out and that's why he was able to live so long. rafayel could've easily figured out what raymon had done or was doing, hence his intention of creating a piece that raymond would have to get his hands on unbeknownst the danger that lies ahead.

honestly thinking more about it, there was that part in rafayel's myth that 'once you tame a lemurian, they cannot go against your words', so what if that's exactly what raymond had done? tamed a lemurian and demanded everything in their arsenal, to live forever but some mishap happened, and by preserving the skeleton, he was able to continue living, though perhaps his days had been numbered.

after rafayel told talia that raymond was dead, she said "then we can all get a good night's sleep for now" ... clearly showing there is something more that is brewing even after raymond's death. which also reminds me how he had a team that he wanted zayne to join in terms of research, or that's legit what i got from ch2 when raymond talked about xander sciences.

call me silly, but it feels as though this might have something to do with lemurians, their blood and maybe even their practices.

What I say: I'm fine

What I mean:

It exists a version of TBOSAS where Mizzen had to see Coral die and a version of TBOSAS where Coral had to see Mizzen die

#the d4 duo of the 10th hunger games mean a lot to me #they were just kids and the way they looked out for each other through the game #I don't get when people say movie coral didn't care about Mizzen like she did in the book #like did we watch the same movie?? #the way she clearly respected and cared more for him than her other allies #she never gives him shit in the movie like yes we don't get some of their moments in the books #but she clearly cares more about him than the other tributes #and her face when she can't save him #the way his last words in the movie is screaming her name nghhhh #the hunger games #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #tbosas #thg #mizzen #coral #mizzen tbosas #coral tbosas #my ramblings #district 4

Can a parent know his pup second gender before? Like, waay before they presentation?

Good question! I think they have an inkling. I don’t know how long “way before” is to you, but in ACR Bruce starts catching notes in Jason’s pup scent that make him think Jason will eventually be omega.

Medically speaking, I did some world building with nodule growth in the pelvis that could, upon internal scan, show the beginnings of presentation several months out. So in ASOH Lex scans Jason, who is frozen pre-presentation, and finds end-stage nodule growth indicating omega internal organs.

But could someone look at a young, young pup and know? I’m not certain. Sometimes you can guess, based on how fast/big they grow, some characteristics they might show. But sometimes pups surprise you!

I imagine you could possibly do a blood test on pups to try and determine hormonal changes, but this tech is probably iffy.

And possibly — this is me just world building on 2 glasses of wine — presentation gender can be somewhat influenced by circumstances or environmental stress. Maybe it’s not set in stone once a pup is born? I don’t know for sure. Curious what folks think.

Bruce came from a long like of very strong alphas, and still presented omega despite being large/tall. By any predictor, he should’ve been an alpha — but wasn’t. Makes you think.

YEEEE you always have the correct thoughts I'm interested 🔥🔥🔥🔥

AUAUAUGHHH OKAY SO

Jamil’s voice actor has said himself that even he believes that Jamil and Azul could be close friends- I wanna point this out because that man definitely has some of the best understandings of Jamil EVER because he’s not only seen most of his voice lines, but he also gets the background notes we don’t get to see to add the correct kind of flavor to the voice acting- ANYWAYS

Jamil and Azul DO get along!! very well, in fact! If they are put against a common force or just, generally in an event together they do work well and even joke like close friends would!

Like, even when Jamil is being mean, he’s not malicious. He’s snarky, not actually trying to hurt Azul’s feelings- and they both KNOW how smart the other one is, and both aren’t afraid to mention it

(usually it’s Azul, but Jamil also consistently gives Azul credit as well. He doesn’t ever really downplay Azul’s merits and abilities)

And the funniest bit is- no matter how mean Jamil is to him, even with what some WOULD consider as bullying, Azul does not stop.

Which is WEIRD AS HELL FOR HIM. He was heavily bullied as a kid, so much so that it’s very obviously hinted at that he had/has an eating disorder (he wears the same size as Epel and Riddle, people who are a good ~20 ish cm shorter than he is- this is besides the point-) so to him, the reward of getting Jamil on his side is worth the thing that literally controlled his entire life and caused his overblot. That is how important getting Jamil is to him. (which also begs the question, why Jamil? Sure, some of it is definitely because he sees himself in Jamil, but since this is MY post, I also believe it’s because he has a crush on him.)

And he is CONSTANT about it- it’s almost hilarious how fucking often octavinelle or the lounge or even just himself comes up in his conversations with him.

And sure, it is a little weird that he seems to disregard Jamil’s constant no’s- BUT he also understands and watches Jamil more than anyone else, so I think he does this precisely because he knows that Jamil holds himself back.

Jamil can’t reasonably Say yes to him, because of kalim and his duties, but it’s the same thing with Jamil’s lab vignette, he so desperately wants Jamil to do his best, to succeed, but because Jamil will not let himself, he pushes and pushes to try and get him to fold and do what he really wants. To flourish. And Azul wants him to do it with him.

and the reason why Jamil is always so resistant to it isn’t because he genuinely wants nothing to do with it, it’s because he cannot understand or comprehend a relationship like that where they are equal.

He doesn’t want to be under Azul’s thumb, but this is exactly where their animosity comes from- the misunderstanding of their friendship and the dynamics with it. He doesn’t want to go to octavinelle, to work at the lounge, because he despises being a servant.

But master and servant is the only real dynamic he knows- he legitimately can’t understand how it would be any different, and because of Azul’s reputation and persona, he wouldn’t trust Azul’s word on it either.

(It is also very ironic that Azul’s persona, which was made to protect him from bullying, is the exact reason Jamil is so hostile towards him in the first place)

But here’s the thing- consistently, Jamil always makes note of Azul. He pays attention to him, (‘you sure love your cryptic little asides’ means that he’s actually paying attention to Azul to notice said asides and notice the frequency of them-) and he acknowledges him first.

I cannot stress enough how fucking insane it is that he not only acknowledges Azul first, but by full name. He is in basketball club with Floyd, he should know him well enough to say him by name, and hypothetically be more friendly with. Floyd is genuinely the safest person in octavinelle for him to hang out with precisely because he doesn’t scheme, so why in the world is he acknowledging Azul?? He’s already fucking suspicious of him and wants him off his back, so why not go for what should be his safest in?? Sure, it makes sense for him to actually talk to Azul because, classmates, but to completely disregard Floyd and put Azul first? Azul stands in the middle of them no matter what reading direction would be normal for Jamil (like if he speaks Arabic then it would be right to left/) it wouldn’t make sense to point out the one in the middle. Genuinely when people say hello to a group they know usually they go by name in reading order-

Okay genuinely not being insane about one moment in dialogue for a moment

Jamil and Azul, work so, so fucking well. They are just similar enough while also being opposites in the most complimentary way it’s crazy.

They work well as friends and as business partners and as people fighting together and as a couple, they flow together and it is always in my brain

Because all it takes is for Jamil to realize that Azul is not lying. He is not trying to trick him or butter him up he means every single word of praise he says and he will continue to say it because to him Jamil is worth the pain. THAT is why they’re soulmates to me

Because all Jamil has ever wanted was freedom, and to catch a break. To not be the one serving, but to have someone serve him, to understand him. and Azul does. Azul wants to serve him and to hold him on equal footing and he already DOES understand him

(And he understands Azul, as well, even if he doesn’t admit it. In all of those lines he notices things about Azul you wouldn’t if you actually hated someone. Azul gives him a sense of hope, in a subtle way)

#Fuck this is long #And lowkey a little rambly #I had a lot of points #But yeah them #They should makeout and work out their problems #I think it would make the plot ten times better #I want a confession scene in a coral sea event and I want them to kiss by sliding their sprites on top of each other to become one weird ma #Genuinely them thi #The reason I believe in love #Also I love them aesthetically too #Did you know b&bw released ocean and sand themed scents at the same time? #Jamiazu #azujami #ashenviper #twst #twisted wonderland

Coral Island Devs please tell me the nitty-gritty details of Rafael's love of horror.

I know horror fans, they can be very particular about their horror flavors. Is he a slasher guy? What's his opinion on modern horrors dependency on Jump Scares? How much gore dose he enjoy in his horror? (I already know in my heart of hearts that he loves a good practical effect!) Dose he like other forms of horror media or is it just movies? Dose he mix sub-grenes or is a horror purist?? TELL ME

DID HE READ GOOSEBUMPS AS A KID?? IS HE GIVING VALENTINA HIS OLD GOOSEBUMPS BOOKS?!?

Another thought I’ve been having relates back to The Scorching, the history behind it, and how much of a good twist it was to throw out. I don’t know if it was planned or a convenient retcon, but it works on so many levels thanks to the themes already present. It also leads to some interesting theories.

Burn could never have been queen. The first action we see her do in the books is destroy an egg due to hatch within the next few nights. It’s cruel, and most of all, it sealed her fate. The kingdoms were founded on the blood and tears of furious mothers, broken hearted from losing their eggs and determined to keep their broods safe. Burn couldn’t have been queen, because that is not what a queen should be. Thorn takes the throne because she took over a city, created an army, and fought tooth and claw to find and save her lost dragonet, despite the odds.

Glory takes the throne because she is the dragonet who should have been cared for. She should have been seen, noticed, and saved. She wants to be queen not to have the nicest things, but because someone should care when a dragonet disappears. The first dragon she rescues is a dragonet. She is worthy because Grandeur gave up on her dragonets and her tribe, but Glory refused to give up.

Coral isn’t a good dragon; her abuses and her absolute classist nature are abhorrent. However, she is marked by her craze as she watched as so many of her daughters were crushed in their eggs. The horror of losing a child is what marks a queen, in some shape or form. Orca was not worthy of the throne, because before she even challenged her mother, she devised a way to kill every dragonet that could challenge her before they so much as crawled out of their egg.

What one truly has to wonder is when the rules changed. When did it become a rule that to become queen, there had to be a fight to the death? When did mothers find themselves pitted against daughters, sisters, nieces, all for the power of the throne she has? Who came up with the deadly challenge?

One can only wonder.

#sunnymoon's rambles #wings of fire #wof burn #wof thorn #wof coral #wof orca #actually I wonder if the challenge to the death for the throne was something that happened after beetlewing and leafwing migration #because they show no indication that there’s a history of challenges to the death for the throne from any pantalan tribe #though that could be because idk sequoia and hazel get along and book of clearsight involvement #but it does seem to indicate that there may be no such thing as a royal challenge there #I am so glad to finally be able to write out my thoughts on this #been listening to the audiobook again #they’re very good very recommended
