think i’m gonna retcon elethea’s athleticism (excluding her martial & archery training) in highever. her problem is that she’s inside too much and has such a reduced perspective. she literally needs to touch grass. yes she has rudimentary horse riding skills but it’s mostly side-saddle, and if she goes hunting its only for the pageantry of it.
elethea is so fucked up even gay sex would not fix her i'm afraid
PROMPTS FROM THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE * assorted dialogue from the 2013 film, adjust as necessary
if you die, and i live, i'd have nothing. nobody else that i care about.
it's different for you. your family needs you.
you have to live. for them.
nobody needs me.
i do. i need you.
how does that sound?
what if we set your backyard on fire?
he can't hurt me. there's no one left that i love.
remember who the real enemy is.
we got married... in secret.
we want our love to be eternal.
we've been luckier than most.
i just wanted to say that i didn't know [name]. i only spoke to him once.
he could have killed me, but instead he showed me mercy.
that's a debt i'll never be able to repay.
she wasn't just my ally. she was my friend.
i couldn't save her. i'm sorry.
you guys look amazing.
so what do you think, now that the whole world wants to sleep with you?
i wasn't talking to you.
will you unzip?
thanks. let's do it again sometime.
the way the whole "friend" thing works is you have to tell each other the deep stuff.
what's your favorite color?
now you've stepped over the line.
see, this is why no one lets you make the plans.
you have been our mission from the beginning.
the plan was always to get you out.
people are looking to you, [name].
you've given them an opportunity. they just have to be brave enough to take it.
we have seen a lot of tears here tonight.
you are angry. tell me why.
i'm getting totally screwed over here.
now you wanna kill me again.
nobody decent ever wins the games.
nobody ever wins the games. period. there are survivors. there's no winners.
love is weird.
i would love to borrow that outfit someday.
you look pretty terrifying in that get-up.
i outgrew them.
any secrets worth my time?
unfortunately, i think that's true.
i'm sorry you had to cancel your wedding.
i'm really not in the mood for a lecture.
you don't have to apologize to anybody, including me.
i hardly know anything about you except that you're stubborn and good with a bow.
there's more than that. you just don't want to tell me.
make him pay for it.
any last advice?
stay alive.
she's committed, i'll give her that.
you saved my life. you gave me a chance.
fear does not work as long as there is hope.
you were dead. your heart stopped.
how rude of them.
eyes bright, chins up, smiles on.
we're a team, aren't we?
i am truly sorry.
you both deserved so much better.
i don't want to be with anyone else in there. just you.
that's what i want.
no waving and smiling this time.
i want you to look straight ahead as if the audience and this whole event are beneath you.
that should be easy.
be careful. it's a force field up there.
i think these games are gonna be different.
i guess we're not holding hands anymore.
i don't care about any of them.
i'm here to drink.
you know and i know there's only one person walking out of here, and it's gonna be one of us.
i get to say goodbye.
they will kill us.
whatever game you think you're playing, those out there are not playing it with you.
i don't want you to get hurt.
so how do you like the party?
you could live a hundred lifetimes and never deserve that boy.
you don't want to shoot her.
how about i shoot both of you?
get them out of here.

season two. costume details.
Yes, Elethea was trained to fight from an early age (I imagine her martial training started when she was about 12-13) but it was always the graceful, noble type of fighting. It involved a lot of proper forms, precision, and whatnot. But the fighting Elethea actually winds up doing during the Blight is ugly and violent. It is closer to berserker/barbarian style fighting, she screams and growls, making dirty moves, and biting when she has to. And she loves it, she loves the power it gives her, especially in a time when she has been made to feel utterly powerless, with every choice taken from her. She loves killing, and that's the problem.
@grewarden. athelstan says: you think i’m being stupid.
"i don't think anything," downcast eyes skate away to something more interesting than her brother was presently being; her increasingly filthy nails. idly correcting that specific imperfection, she lifts her brows with cool disinterest. he was being tiring in a moment where she was already wearied. not that she would have softened her words if she had been better rested. it simply wasn't her way. "you are being stupid."
today in "imagery that only matters to nan" news. it's important to me that elethea's wolf imagery is not the big wintery grey/eurasian wolf imagery that the starks have. she's a smaller red wolf type wolf. idgaf that they're native to north america it's fantasy there are dragons.
