Wxlksxflxfx​  /  Jo March * !!

                    cyan gaze scrutinized the selection of furniture laid out before her. finally, she was attempting to get her apartment fully together. an assistant fashion designer was a dream start of a career, but it meant living check to check. but, she was rather used to that. a COFFEE TABLE was the last missing piece to supposed adulthood. “do you think that one would be easy to put together ?? instructions are for wussies, so i refuse to use them.” beverly jested, with an airy chuckle. always so stubborn, yet equally DETERMINED. “i like to think the sense of accomplishment at putting it together without it is worth the struggle. like sure, some of my other furniture pieces are a little WOBBLY, but they work.” her usual, affable grin quick to appear. “or maybe this one would be easier ??” she questioned, pointing to another. “what do you think ??”

despite all the blows, you are still s t a n d i n g.

edgcofgreat​  /  rue * !!

               Rue’s  eyes  went  wide.  It  wasn’t  a  question  that  she’d  expected,  and  she  honestly  had  to  think  for  a  moment  before  answering.  “  Well,  right  now  I’m  reading  Pride  and  Prejudice.  We  didn’t  have  a  lot  of  books  like  this  back  home,  and  so  far  it’s  a  pretty  good  read.  ”  She  smiled,  holding  up  the  book  in  question.  “  I  don’t  know,  it’s  hard  for  me  to  pick  a  favorite.  ”

                    "a fan of LOVE i take it ?? well, it is the season, can’t fault you for that.” luna knew it was a classic, but it was one she had yet to read. “i’ll take your word for it && get it,” she nodded with a knowing smile. “i guess it was rather unfair of me to ask. there’s so many && sometimes it depends on the day.” a pause, she racked her brain for how even she’d answer that question. “ — have you heard of area 51 ?? i read a book about it once, had evidence to support the study of aliens there. i quite enjoyed that one. then again, to say it’s my favorite ?? it’d be a stretch.”

                    at the collision, johanna scowled, words of spite about to part lips when her dark gaze saw her, the mockingjay herself. despite the two not always seeing eye to eye, johanna assumed the other wouldn’t go as far as to pretend to not know whom she was. not after everything. apparently the rumors regarding memories in this place were TRUE. if only she could’ve been so lucky. a forced smile tugged at the corners of her lips, though unable to meet her eyes ( they hadn’t been for quite some time ). “you appear so agile — suppose clumsiness truly is in one’s DNA.” she reached around the other for a few hordorves. johanna would never admit it, but it was almost comforting to talk to someone so familiar, even if they didn’t know, even if it was katniss. “but i can’t blame you for wanting to run away with a full plate. it is all quite good && readily available. i wonder how they’re paying for it all though.” 

@heartsofember​ ☆ event starter

Katniss was surprised she had it in her to leave George’s side at all. It wasn’t that she was dependent on him so much as it was she didn’t really enjoy parties. Something seemed chillingly familiar about it but she couldn’t pin anything down. One of the few things she did like about parties was the food. It was the only thing provided by this party that she didn’t actively avoid. Perhaps she should have tried to avoid it a little because she was becoming certain that she was starting to annoy some of the other guests getting something to eat as well. When she turned to leave, she almost collided with another person. Her breath held for a couple of seconds, Katniss quickly took stock of the situation before letting out a sigh of relief. “That was a close one. I promise, if I spill food on anyone tonight, it’ll be myself.”

                    to mike, this was like PROM, but even better. some might say he was stuck in high school — wanting to relive the glory days && go back to much simpler times. but honestly, what the hell was wrong with that ?? unlike many, he could only assume, he loved those days. as an athlete he got along alright, more than alright to be perfectly honest. so, mike already was having a good time, drink in hand as he wandered the place when amelia spoke to him. an easy, dimpled grin met her own, nodding enthusiastically as peered around the venue once again. “hell yeah. can’t complain — food, music — it’s all fucking perfect.” only then did he catch onto her words. “wait — you’re tellin’ me you did all this ??” raven brows arched, impressed as smirk widened. “well shit. you deserve at least one drink or something. CELEBRATE a little.”

Amelia had been working events for a long time at this point. Even for being twenty-four, she had more experience than a lot of the people she met during her internship. She probably could’ve done something great there, but her family was more important to her. Her sister was just finishing high school and her mother needed help, even if she wouldn’t come out and say it. Nice thing about Ivywood, they sometimes threw decent events and she got to help. Amelia told everyone she would meet them there, knowing she would have some work to do before the event started. As she finished getting ready, Amelia slowly moved down the stairs, eyes moving over the event happening below. It was okay for her to have fun and to forget about everything going on for a little while, plus she was in love with her dress and excited to get to wear it. Spotting someone, she smiled before speaking. “Are you enjoying the gala so far? I honestly think it turned out pretty great, but I might be a little biased.”

Hearing a voice, Scorpius sat up and noticed the person standing in front of him, pausing a moment before responding. “Oh, it’s not the books fault. My brain just really isn’t in it today.” He responded, giving a small shrug of his shoulders. He appreciated the offer to help, but really didn’t know how he could be helped. “Honestly, I’m not really sure what you could do. I think my brain is just all jumbled up and it’s hard to get it organized enough to be able to actually function.” 

・・・・・・

                    a knowing grin crossed their features — “i wish my mind had a map or something sometimes. my thoughts always tend to wander && get lost.” sometimes it felt permanent — like when luna attempted to figure out what exactly was going on in this town. “you could try to focus on one thing at a time ?? easy to say i know. sometimes if you focus on the easiest thing && either figure it out or get it done you’ll least then feel accomplished.” luna paused, lips pursed more in thought before continuing. “or simply let yourself feel, think it all. it’s okay to have a bad day.”

She laughed at the stars, frightened but free, her terror as sharp as pain and as sweet as a ripe October apple, and when a light came on in an upstairs bedroom of the house this stone wall belonged to, she grabbed the handle of her suitcase and fled off into the night, still laughing. — IT by Stephen King

“Maybe, he thought, there aren’t any such things as good friends or bad friends- maybe there are just friends, people who stand by you when you’re hurt and who help you feel not so lonely. Maybe they’re always worth being scared for, and hoping for, and living for. Maybe even worth dying for, too, if that’s what has to be.”

A FINN PLAYLIST・。・

below the cut are lyrics of importance from each song, plus a few extras ☄️

001. NOT ALONE - RED

“slowly fading away, you're lost and so afraid. where is the hope in a world so cold? looking for a distant light, someone who can save a life. living in fear that no one will hear your cry.”

“your heart is full of broken dreams, just a fading memory. and everything's gone but the pain carries on. lost in the rain again, when will it ever end? the arms of relief seem so out of reach.”

“and i will be your hope when you feel like it's over. and i will pick you up when your whole world shatters. and when you're finally in my arms, you'll look up and see, love has a face.”

002. ALL THESE THINGS THAT I’VE DONE - THE KILLERS

“i wanna stand up, i wanna let go. you know, you know, no you don't, you don't. i wanna shine on, in the hearts of men. i want a meaning from the back of my broken hand. another head aches, another heart breaks. i'm so much older than I can take.”

003. MY BODY - YOUNG THE GIANT

“my body tells me no, but i won't quit, cause I want more, cause I want more.”

“and it's my war, it's my war, it's my war.”

004. UNDERDOG - KASABIAN

“well i've been pounding at the pavement until there's nothing at all.”

005. HEROES - PETER GABRIEL

“though nothing will keep us together, we can beat them forever and ever. oh, we can be heroes just for one day.”

“i, i can remember standing, standing by the wall. and the guns shot above our heads ...  and the shame, the shame was on the other side. oh, we can beat them forever and ever.”

006. RUNNIN’ - MIKE WILL MADE-IT, A$AP ROCKY, A$AP FERG & NICKI MINAJ

“came up out the mud, brush the dirt up off me. going hard, hit them where it hurts, kill them softly.”

007. SOMETIMES - H.E.R.

“but now i know things change for better or worse. you could say that i'm the same but i adjusted to all the hurt.”

“i had a day, i had a vision. this was the day i was supposed to be living instead of worrying 'bout the temporary things. i hate not knowing where it's gonna take me.”

008. NOT A ONE - THE YOUNG WILD

“they're never gonna take us alive, my love, they're never gonna take us alive. together in the great unknown, my love. together in the great unknown.”

009, I’LL BE GOOD - JAYMES YOUNG

“my past has tasted bitter for years now, so I wield an iron fist. grace is just weakness or so i've been told. i've been cold, i've been merciless. but the blood on my hands scares me to death. maybe I'm waking up today. i'll be good, i'll be good.”

010. SILENCE - MARSHMELLO FT. KHALID

“yeah, i'd rather be a lover than a fighter, cause all my life i've been fighting. never felt a feeling of comfort, oh and all this time, i've been hiding.”

“i found peace in your violence, can't tell me there's no point in trying. i'm at one, and I've been quiet for too long.”

011. NATURE BOY - NAT KING COLE

“the greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return."

012. BELIEVE - THE BRAVERY

“so give me something to believe, cause I am living just to breathe and I need something more to keep on breathing for. so give me something to believe.”

“i am hiding from some beast. but the beast was always here watching without eyes because the beast is just my fear that I am just nothing.”

                    beverly may not have lived under her father’s thumb for quite some time, but the process of learning about herself && getting comfortable with that was ongoing. formal dresses, galas, they weren’t quite her thing yet. bev’s smile in reply was INSTANT. “eh, i feel —” the words pretty silly quickly dropped off at the SINCERITY of his expression. “— thanks.” cheeks rosy as sapphire gaze then took him in fully. “is that a clip-on??” beverly teased before tugging playfully at his tie. real.  “well, now i can officially say the same to you.” she reached to straighten his tie && pocket square despite how perfectly placed they already were. “you trying to impress somebody ??”

               Ben  shouldn’t  feel  awkward  around  Bev,  especially  not  after  everything  they’d  been  through  together,  but  her  not  remembering  their  relationship  made  him  feel  like  that  twelve  year  old  boy  that  was  head  over  heels  in  love  with  her  back  in  Derry.  Still,  there  was  no  one  else  that  he  would  have  rather  spent  this  event  with,  so  he  made  his  way  over  to  her.  “  Hey,  Beverly.  ”  He  smiled,  taking  a  moment  to  look  down  at  her  outfit  and  hoping  that  the  look  on  his  face  wasn’t  too  obvious.  “  You,  uh…  You  look  really  nice.  ”
