So I'm Beta Reading For Someone Right Now And Who Was Going To Tell Me It's This Fun! I Get To Be The

So I'm beta reading for someone right now and who was going to tell me it's this fun! I get to be the hype squad IN THE ACTUAL DOCUMENT!!

And it's a second draft so the only major notes I need to leave are for pacing/character arcs, which, HELLO that's my favorite part.

The story is already so good. I'm just loving being a tiny little part of someone else's writing journey and getting a behind the scenes look at their brilliance.

Agh this is the best!

The first rule of dealing with people is: everybody wants to be a good person. Even your shitty boss.

The second rule of dealing with people is: everyone fails at being a good person. Even you. Even your best friend.

I think the rest flow from these.

Will humanity ever be free of the influence of Edna Mode? Can any of us so much as consider the character design for a hero or villain without her manifesting in the room, fully aware of our sins?

The Hunger Games has the FUNNIEST arranged marriage of all time btw. Katniss realizes she'll have to marry Peeta and she's obviously upset so Haymitch tries to comfort her by saying "you could do a lot worse" and Katniss is like "well DUH of course I could do worse than Peeta he's the best & handsomest person on the face of the planet but that's not the POINT I want to be able to choose for MYSELF". Then she goes and chooses Peeta anyway lol. Comedy gold I tell you

love the idea of the Batfamily getting stopped and searched in the family car on the way back to the Manor and everyone’s tense expecting Jason to be the one packing like twelve guns but it’s Alfred? Alfred is absolutely unbelievably strapped up to high heaven? And he somehow manages to talk to the cops out of arresting him or even giving him a ticket?

Bruce is just standing on the side of the road pinching the bridge of his nose. Jason is grinning so widely his face is about to rip. Alfred’s guns are all sitting on the hood of the car and there’s at least three there that Bruce remembers taking away and destroying. Dick is taking pictures on his phone to send to Barbara and trying not to laugh. Tim has Kon on speaker narrating it…

This is hella random, but I think the districts recycle clothing with each other. Or have style circulation within the districts.

The Capitol gets always the newest clothing and fabrics. I imagine their clothing being in them w modern svante grade, futurist styles. Something no ordinary person would wear regularly- what the normal citizens wear. However, I think the mega mega rich captions have a classical suit. Like the styles is is forever immortalised becuase that when Snow came into more power, and they too follow that trend of classism. Eve one has a slight 60s space time cypher-galactic vibe. Like- all of them would wear some stupid design clothing to go get their shopping

D1 has a 20s-sequel demure. Like the capitol, I imagine they have that flair about them that holds a classical look. I imagine more of the practical 1920s look, with the outlandish refinements to it. Like the embroidery or the embellishment of the flapper looks. It’s higher class and lots nicer than the other districts clothing.

D2 has a Greco-Roman architectural design, but with the 40s war era inspired clothing. Again, an older recycles from Capitol and d2, yet, it’s far more functional it carries the agenda of practicality and functionalism, but holding the past of war/recolution. Perhaps a very Soviet-style militaria look. Yet, it’s hold all these fold and tapestry of Greco Roman clothing. The linen fabrics for the east movement for masonry, the deep red and amour on the school uniforms or peacekeepers. The miners have the truer 40s labour workers styles, uniform is rich red and heavy grays.

D3 definitely has an 80-90s vibe. The rise of technology, the innovate of knowledge. It’s grungier and dirtier look. It’s poor business casual that has dark clothing and patches.

D4 has a 70s vibe for the beach. Linen, cotton, crochet knots. The have laces and wool from their district’s ability for knot tying and the light weight fabric to cool then down from the heat. It’s more of the bohemian look than the disco vibe, but very muted and neutral. It has reds and blues and greens and white, n black from natural dyes from shells and animals near them. They don’t have flower patterns for clothing, but their crochet work is stunning. Anything and everything they can knit and make. All their warm clothing is mostly handmade, since most people can knit to a decent degree. It’s very beach vibes. I think they too would have an Ancient Greek inspiration with their clothing. But more of the draping and float aspect than the military style of d2.

D5 has a real 30-40s war time effort style. Is very manufacturing, with alsmost everyone watching pants and yay. It’s the long sleeves and protective clothing that’s subtle embedded in the styles. I don’t know much about abt d5, but this is the idea.

D6 is working class 1910-20s. It’s the ugly side of labour with leather pants to protect them from metal scratches and burns. Cotten clothing for east cleaning and all dark to hide the paints and grease. Everyone has rubber shoes or rubber protective equipments.

D7 has a 90s look. Mainly becuase of the flannel design and the denim, but I do agree they would have a slight 00s undertone with the straight cuts and the baggieness jn clothing. They dress Canadian 70s I think, if I knew what that meant

D8 is really into the 1900s industrial era style. The poor man working class style with modern look fitting a depression era fit.

D9 has a working class poor 50s look. It’s the thick denim and the plain dresses. The women and men wear lots of leather boots and shoes to limit the cuts and bits on their legs from the bugs founded in the grain

D10 has the modern day cowboy sorta style. It doesn’t really fit a specific time era, buts a collection of different times that don’t have a specific date so to it. I think a lot of people have leather jackets and shoes and sometimes patches in pants from the tanning/animal business. A modern, dirty poor cowboy farmer look from the Great Depression sorta style (IM DESPERATELY TRYING TI SAY THIS NICELY). I think they would wear lots of picnic style picese with some embroidered emblems for slightly rusher families.

D11 has the working farmer from the 69s look mixed with the lower class 50s style. It’s the corduroy pants and the light weight shorts to prevent overheating in the sun. They have longer socks and clothing that is really worn down. Warm clothings is homemade knitted wear that’s been handed down and is slightly girly mattered.

D12 is what I think they would dress like in the Great Depression. They have a nicer pieces from the 30s, with tailed suits and flattering pieces, the once classic pieces from the Capitol that have been finally handed down. Yet, the everyday person clothing looks like the fit in the ww2 everyday clothing. Clothing is a handed down of a hand-down. Make by either oneself or a preservation of a beautiful pieces only every worn for a terrible day. I think their ‘nicest clothing’ are more the 40-50s vibe. It really shows that they are behind all the districts.
