there doesn’t seem to be anyone around
I am fascinated by how, in the Bridgerton Extanded Universe, everyone is in a period drama EXCEPT the Bridgerton family, who is in a romantic comedy.
They straightbaited me and I've never been more grateful 😭😭😭
the marketing for xo kitty being ridiculously heteronormative and then the show being extremely gay is so funny
Honestly more shows need to do this shit, rope in a straight audience than BAM!!!! gay panic
Kitty likes Dae who likes Kitty but is dating Yuri who is secretly gay who Kitty may also has feelings for. Not to mention Min Ho, Dae's friend, also feelings for Kitty, not to mention Mino Ho, Dae, and Kitty are Roommates.
a little more s1 steddie // steve’s trying to get eddie to warm up to him; it’s not happening yet
I will not lose another… another child. Do you hear me? And I will not lose my holy wife. Do you understand me? Do you understand me?
EVERLARK OUTFITS: THE VICTORY TOUR
This part of “Catching Fire” is done (finally) so I put it all together;) DISTRICT 11, THE SQUARE
I go to my compartment and let the prep team do my hair and makeup. Cinna comes in with a pretty orange frock patterned with autumn leaves. I think how much Peeta will like the color. <…> As the train is pulling into the District 11 station, Cinna puts the finishing touches on my outfit, switching my orange hairband for one of metallic gold and securing the mockingjay pin I wore in the arena to my dress. <…> I can hear the anthem beginning outside in the square. Someone clips a microphone on me. Peeta takes my left hand. // Catching Fire, ch. 4
I think this dress should be a little semi-official so I choose cape sleeve sheath midi dress. It’s perfect for autumn (and they have early autumn weather there in 11th). The hair is just plain + gold hairband = girlish innocent look like the one after the games (this tactics they choose for the Tour). Plus I wanted to draw Katniss with her natural straight hair because i draw her with her braid usually ;) And again nothing about Peeta’s outfit. You know I feel like Portia 😅 because I have to choose how to dress Peeta. I’m not complaining through. So it is black suit with golden buttons (matching Katniss’s hairband and pin), thin soft orange sweater and black leather shoes.
DISTRICT 11, THE DINNER
A pale pink strapless dress brushes my shoes. My hair is pinned back from my face and falling down my back in a shower of ringlets. Cinna comes up behind me and arranges a shimmering silver wrap around my shoulders. He catches my eye in the mirror. “Like it?” “It’s beautiful. As always,” I say. “Let’s see how it looks with a smile,” he says gently. // Catching Fire, ch.5
DISTRICT 7
Jackson has devised a game called «Real or Not Real» to help Peeta. He mentions something he thinks happened, and they tell him if it’s true or imagined, usually followed by a brief explanation. <…> But since Peeta’s greatest confusion centers around me—and not everything can be explained simply—our exchanges are painful and loaded, even though we touch on only the most superficial of details. The color of my dress in 7. My preference for cheese buns. The name of our math teacher when we were little. Reconstructing his memory of me is excruciating. Perhaps it isn’t even possible after what Snow did to him. But it does feel right to help him try. // Mockingjay, ch. 19
So we have only one sentence in “Mockingjay” about this outfit. And still I decided to draw it because I have a theory (head canon?) about it. I think Peeta remembers the color of her dress because it was special night for him (a lot of kisses and attempts to sneak away from everyone and maybe it felt very real at times) and also because she had two braids and the dress was red. RED is the color ❤️. / Peeta has dark red + black + a little bit gold which is also sexy color combination.
DISTRICT 5 I volunteer to take Annie back to my house in 12, where Cinna left a variety of evening clothes in a big storage closet downstairs. All of the wedding gowns he designed for me went back to the Capitol, but there are some dresses I wore on the Victory Tour. <…> Annie wears a green silk dress I wore in 5, Finnick one of Peeta’s suits that they altered— the clothes are striking. <…> As surely as the embroidery stitches in Annie’s gown were done by Cinna’s hand, the frosted flowers on the cake were done by Peeta’s. // Mockingjay, ch. 16
Katniss: green silk dress + wavy sleeves + sea waves embroidery / Peeta: ivory dress shirt + knitted green waistcoat with sea waves embroidery + tweed suit
DISTRICT 2
Girl talk. That thing I’ve always been so bad at. Opinions on clothes, hair, makeup. So I lie. “Yeah, he’s been helping me design my own clothing line. You should see what he can do with velvet.” Velvet. The only fabric. I could think of off the top of my head. “I have. On your tour. That strapless number you wore in District Two? The deep blue one with the diamonds? So gorgeous I wanted to reach through the screen and tear it right off your back,” says Johanna. // Catching Fire, Chapter 15
This description gave me strong “Anastasia” feels 😅. So I loosely based Katniss dress on Anastasia’s ballet evening gown. For Peeta I chose tuxedo jacket similar to Salvatore Ferragamo design for FF 12/13. Neo classic, purple velvet, shiny shoes. Also I decided to include a cane, both to help Peeta to have some rest during all this Tour activities and as an accessory.
DISTRICT 12
When we reach the mayor’s house, I only have time to give Madge a quick hug before Effie hustles me off to the third floor to get ready. After I’m prepped and dressed in a full-length silver gown, I’ve still got an hour to kill before the dinner, so I slip off to find her. <…> She [Madge] saw my reflection behind her and smiled. “Look at you. Like you came right off the streets of the Capitol.” // Catching Fire, ch.6
When I started drawing this one I just felt that I need to make it look very “Capitol”. So I added some feathers. A LOT of sparkling feathers, haha. Also there are some “moon and stars” accessories in Katniss’ hair because this silver gown gives me moonlight vibes. For Peeta I came up with classic suit but made him wear it casually.

just finished reading midnight sun for the second time and here are my thoughts no one asked for:
(warning: spoilers obviously but this is also stupid long bc I don’t know how to shut up)
- am I an edward cullen stan?
- yes
- do I want to be?
- no
- he is insufferable
- tanya funding edward submerged in a snow bank just sulking
- apparently vampires can move so fast they don’t leave any footprints in the snow???
- physics smeyer??
- but does this mean they could walk on water?
- also eddie, buddy, you aren’t hades
- you are just depressed and repressed and horny
- and bella is not persephone, she hates greenery and her favorite color is brown
- speaking of bella being persephone: she was simply eating mushroom ravioli
- not condemning herself to the underworld
- literally take a deep breath and calm down
- also it’s not super cool of you, edward, to throw rosalie’s revenge on her attackers back at her
- I truly wish she would have burned edward’s car just for the remark he made
- also are we just going to gloss over the blatant favoritism that carlisle and esme show towards edward???
- like come on
- i know you’ve known him the longest but he’s been sulking around for literal decades and thats who you pick to be your fave??? when literally anyone else exists??
- @alice and jasper: y’all need a dog??? i can bark
- i’ll never forgive smeyer for making jasper a confederate soldier. never.
- emmett my man, he’s just happy to be here
- emmett might be our resident himbo but carlisle doesn’t have a thought behind his eyes and I stand by that
- no I won’t elaborate
- edward debating the entire book if bella is mentally stable
- carlisle calling up billy and being like “lol we’re back hehe”
- so um does bella not have a screen on her window??
- I don’t think she does but if that’s the case then why the fuck doesn’t edward worry about her falling out the window?
- he literally is worried about a meteorite crashing through her room during the night but not about her screen-less window
- also not him justifying being a stalker with “well my family commits tax fraud on the daily so it’s fine”
- and him bringing wd40 to oil the window
- “it was enlightening and alluring to watch her in her element” babes she’s making a bowl of cheerios
- I can’t stand him
- the way eddie is convinced bella thinks he’s repulsive and disgusting
- sir
- I would live and die for charlie swan
- and that’s all I will say on that
- carlisle sending edward out for a night on the town so he can set up a christmas tree for him!!!!
- emmett and jasper’s huge and elaborate game of chess
- alice helping jasper cheat
- jasper and emmett not letting edward play so he sulks around like a child
- show me more of that smeyer
- oh oh oh edward and alice’s relationship
- honestly, it’s precious
- that’s what I want to see
- edward categorizing all the insects in the meadow and the surrounding area to calm his horny ass is peak comedy
- very mormon of you smeyer
- I knew edward was a car boy
- reluctant but aware
- however, I still hate it
- edward being obsessed with cars: kinda cute bc he really is obsessed but also mainly nauseating
- rosalie being obsessed with cars: simply sexy
- the way smeyer just elaborates on things after the fact
- like just completely neglected jaspers power the entire saga and so in ms she’s like “oops maybe I should talk about that”
- and i’m glad she did bc!!! it’s so cool
- i’ve always loved what jasper could do but it’s actually super complex and cool and I love him
- him using his power to protect bella during the baseball scene from james
- emmett and jasper being edward’s side mirrors is peak entertainment
- edward making carlisle text babysitting instructions to alice
- but also edward mansplaining how much water bella needs to carlisle as if he’s not an actual doctor
- also real quick
- the amount of malpractice in this damn book
- ‼️carlisle‼️drugged‼️and‼️left‼️a‼️soccer‼️mom‼️on‼️the‼️side‼️of‼️a‼️phoenix‼️freeway‼️
- just left her stranded in the heat
- I hate it here
- emmett throwing the gaudy stolen car into oncoming traffic was my favorite part
- however
- aren’t you guys suppose to even vaguely pass as human???
- besties
- hate to break it to you
- but that doesn’t cut it
- it would hit me at random times that edward is literally 17 years old
- someone tell me why they let the 17 year old orchestrate the car chase????
- also edward wasting time trying to pick out which car he likes the best for said car chase and alice is like bitch ur gf is dying we gotta go
- anyway someone tell me why edward sucking the venom out of the bite on bella’s hand is synonymous with the mental image of someone putting their head and open mouth under a soda fountain??
- edward saying “but i’m a vampire!!” never fails to make me laugh
- like babes we know
- also you mean to tell me that jasper was in the dance studio with all of bella’s blood and a car with bella bleeding and her blood all over her and edward and carlisle and he never once thought of reacting (if he would have, edward definitely would have said something) but it was a little paper cut in new moon that did it for him????
- I don’t buy it
- alice wearing an oversized sweatshirt and smeyer calling it avant-garde
- an oversized sweatshirt AND jaspers huge watch
- that’s not avant-garde bestie
- alice having so much fun orchestrating and staging the supposed accident at the hotel
- I love her
- renee is insufferable
- get her out of here
- i will say that the way edward describes peoples minds is really cool
- like how charlie’s is quiet and low and jacob’s is bright and warm and content
- that’s sweet I like that
- there’s so much more I could say but this has gone on for too long
- will say that it is shitty of eddie to have seen the vision of bella catatonic in new moon and still made the decision to leave her eventually
- my final thoughts: edward, do better
