Or How Many Reaping They Had Redo Because The Kids Ran And They Shot Them? Or What Games The Edited Because

Though I do hate the belief that Annie was a weak tribute, I dislike how much people try to erase any trauma that Annie received from the games

Yes Annie was more than the “mad girl from D4” but she DID get ill and traumatized. Not acknowledging what the Capitol did to her or trying to say she was the same afterwards is just untrue. Annie wasn’t the same afterwards (Johanna even says this in Mockingjay) and why should she? She wasn’t the same girl who entered the arena and the Capitol took it away. Why try to sugar coat what the Capitol did to her?

It’s just like trying to say Katniss ear didn’t totally became deaf or Peeta leg getting cut off wasn’t as bad as we think it was

It also just make Annie a stronger character because of her overcoming her trauma and knowing what to do when she’s “hysterical” while it’s still apart of her

Imagine Asterid resenting Haymitch for how he cut everyone he loved off after Lenore dove died, only to understand him when Burdock died.

it’s honestly so funny the yellowjackets complain about how crazy and weird lottie is but every time she does something crazy and weird they all immediately join in

Oh you're scared of the dark? pathetic. I'm scared that setting my expectation too high for benophie season and will hating it even though its pretty much perfect.

on this account we stan everlark, haydove and odesta bc they all deserve better

it’s so funny to me that that “biggest” odesta fans doesn’t even like finnick that much

‪a few chapters into sunrise on the reaping and the conclusion I’m coming to is that while katniss keeps *a lot* to herself, 16 year-old haymitch was a chronic oversharer. he dropped in ONE chapter more of the entire district’s lore than she did in 3 books

i would never make a decision. what if i change my mind

Bridgerton Costum Rant: Penelope

 I feel one thing Bridgerton does best are the costumes. Not only by making their take on the regency period but incorporating with the storylines. And since Polin is next in the show I should start with Penelope. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Season 1 & 2 Outfit Analysis

Color Meaning: It is a well known fact that Penelope's “tasteless and tackless” mama dresses all her daughters in bright citrus colors, believing that bright color will draw attention for suitors. Which is ironic in a way since the Featherington sisters, especially Penelope, are the wallflowers of the show. But in truth it helps Penelope with gathering gossip for the Lady Whistledown because yellow can be the color of deceit. Yellow is often associated with happiness and positivity so you wouldn’t think a person wearing yellow would have a secret. (It can also be a color of intellect and creativity which goes into Lady Whistledown again.)

Cowardness is also another interpretation of the color yellow, which in turn can be how Penelope doesn’t share her feelings to Colin. But if you notice during two seasons as Portia is less focused on Penelope (in season 1 during the Marina drama and season 2 during the cousin Jack drama), Penelope wears different colors a little bit more. Especially in season 2. And the color that she wears the most is pink. Which pink is obviously associated with love. Something that Penelope longs for. We also see for the first time in full green dress in season 2. Which is foreshadowing to Polin because yellow and the Bridgerton blue makes green.

Design Details: I also found it interesting that the two things Penelope wears the most on her dresses are butterflies and flowers. Butterflies are symbols of transformation which we now know in season 3 Penelope is going to have. I hope we see a lot more butterflies in season 3 since no longer Penelope is going to be the wallflower. I am not an expert on flowers or their meaning but I believe the flowers she wears the most are roses and daisies. Rose symbolizes love and passion and daisies represent happiness and a new beginning.

—--------------------------------------------------------------------------

What I hope for in season 3

More flowing dress: If you notice in season 1 & 2 Daphne and Kate's dresses are very flowy and silky where Penlope’s dress is not. Some of her dresses look very stiff and bulky and give off a younger impression (especially since Hyacinth and even Eloise dresses look like they're made with the same matureal). Now in the upcoming season where Penelope is embracing her sexuality we should get more of those flowy dresses.

More Cooler Colors: Like I said before we really only have seen Penelope in those citrus colors which are very warm colors. Which I don’t think are the best on Nicola. Some of the dresses wash her out instead of complimenting her; which is the costume designer's intention. From some of the leaked photos of season 3 we see Penelope in more cooler colors, which look incredible on Nicola. Since the greens and blues are in the color palettes it should complement  Nicola astoundingly.

Simpler Design: Just like the color some of Penelope's best outfits are ones that are so loud. When some of the gowns are heavily detailed your eyes are drawn to the design and it almost looks too extravagant on Nicola. Some of Penelope's best dresses are more simpler.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway I hope this interests you! I really want to do Kate and Daphne/Bridgerton style vs other families of the ton.  If you have any suggestion or question for me let me know.
