None of those pieces of beauty are by me, of course. But speaking as the girl who legitimately cried when she met Tiana at Magic Kingdom when she was 18-years-old (just ask Beau; this is a thing that happened), I have been over the moon since this was announced. I am just so happy. I just want my future babies to see all the representation, so let's keep this going. 🙋🏽‍♀️🙌🏽

FILTERED TO KNOWN PANEM PEOPLE

Last 4th of July, the sound of all the fireworks set off Haymitch's PTSD really badly and I had a public meltdown. So I just wanted to check on all of you, to make sure everyone is going to be okay today, and that you'll have someone with you in case things get difficult.

FILTERED TO REED SIBLINGS

I won't be at the fireworks tonight, but breakfast tomorrow morning?

REEDS + ARIA

Okay, time to call in the cavalry. I need your help doing something totally crazy and ridiculous, but also not illegal. Probably. There my be some copyright laws in there somewhere but whatever.

WHO: Benjy & Jas.
WHERE: The woods.
WHEN: Memorial Day weekend; Saturday evening.
WHAT: Some feelings are confronted.
RATING: Low.
STATUS: log; complete.


( I’d burn it down, I’d light it up, for you I’d risk it all. I’d rather crash, I’d rather crawl. Than never have your love at all. )

I'm feeling the need for some karaoke this weekend. Who's with me?

((ooc: as usual, please handwave that the lovely and talented musician in the video below is Benjy. And please check out the artists other videos because he's wonderful.))

This one's for you, Henry Mills.

Make me a believer.


FILTERED TO JASMINE, ARIA, & DREW

I've got my last final tomorrow morning, then I'm done. Camping trip to celebrate this weekend?

I've been home for a few months now and the only time I've been up to DC was when I flew in. I actually have a full Saturday off and I think, in an effort to enjoy as much of the weekend as is allowed, this calls for a DC bakery tour. Not that the various baked good establishments in Dunhaven aren't the best already, but I think the importance of a few hours spent outside of town and gorging myself on cake can't be understated.

JASMINE & TALLY

On the off chance this hasn't already gotten back to you in one way or another, Drew and I are a thing again.

MAX & LYLLIA

Hi. I know we all have a lot going on right now and I don't want to distract from any of that, but I also wanted to let you know, before you heard from someone else in town, that Drew and I are back together.

TEXTS TO JAS

-- So, Drew is dreaming about Game of Thrones too. Gendry.
-- And he and Aria are a thing now.

FAMILY & FRIENDS

Had my first dream memories last night.


For real this time. Not like that time I just had a dream I was in Space Jam.


His name is Henry Mills. He's a little boy descended from famous fairy tale characters.

It turns out that the new Jonas Brothers music isn't quite as good at helping me tune out the world as I listen to it on repeat and far louder than is probably necessary in my bedroom like it did when I was twelve-years-old. I think it's because I know that I will never be able to compete with Priyanka Chopra and I have zero problem admitting that fact.

How's Saturday going for you, Dunhaven? Anything fun?

I don't know what's more shocking to me -- that it's already spring break or that were already halfway through spring break. Second semester has flown by in comparison to first.

MAX & AUNT LYLLIA

So I got a call today about my job at J's. Apparently they are regretting firing me because of that day the other week, so they're offering my job back. I'm not sure if I want it, though. It felt like a lot, juggling that and Grandma's and school. I was managing and the money was nice, but I don't know. What do you think?

REED SIBLINGS GROUP TEXT

» Any of you interested in coming to see Us with me this weekend?

LGBTQ GROUP

Since the weather is finally starting to warm up, I was thinking out next group activity could be something out of doors. Group hike? Mini golf tournament? Big picnic down at the park? What do you guys think?

Did you know that, in the 13th century, Pope Gregory IV declared cats to be instruments of Satan and, on his extermination orders, his followers set out to annihilate them throughout Europe? But what came after that, I ask you? That's right, ding ding ding, the The Plague. Had they not destroyed the cat population, the plague-carrying rat population likely would not have been able to spread like it did. So the lesson to be learned from history today is to give your kitties a little extra love, otherwise you will catch the plague and die. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

My own dreams have made me particularly introspective recently, so I decided it's time for another anonymous post. This one isn't for any academic purpose (though each post is inherently good data for academic purposes despite their individual intentions), but it seems that a lot of us have found them cathartic. So, as usual, feel free to comment below--you will be anonymous unless you choose to be unmasked.

What lesson(s) have you learned from yourself the person you've been dreaming about?

My greatest lesson has been learning to truly value the people in my life who care about me. I already did, but there's something to be said for consciously recognizing that value each time I think of them.

Okay, calling my mom was a dick move, whoever you are, but it's fine. Whatever. I probably deserved that. Calling my place of work with false complaints? Seriously, fuck you.
