@lentilsoupp23
has anyone seen the sunrise on the reaping teaser trailer yet?? PLEASE LET ME KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS I'm sooo excited it looks amazing already, I love the 70s inspiration too it really grounds where in the timeline it happens compared to the other movies and its such cool worldbuilding. next November is so far away :')
so hi! it's been A WHILE
I'm so sorry for one; not updating, and two; not replying to stuff on my message board/not updating when I said I would. Things have been kinda crazy this year.
So if you care, my little personal update (and why I've been gone so long) is mainly just I'm coming towards the end of my degree (fine arts/visual arts and education hehe) and things have amped up. Plus I've had some minor health issues over the year that have really drained me when I do have free time (basically writing used to be a great outlet, but when I had bad health anxiety I needed to use my free time to basically distract myself and writing wasn't working). Since the start of the year when this was a big problem, I've since worked really hard to get myself in a better headspace and I've made really good progress and even got a lot of motivation back to write! Only problem was that the past semester I've been working on my Graduation Art Show artwork lol so that took up SO MUCH time.
But it's all done now! Uni is done for the year and I have a LOT of free time.
Which means updates are coming!! I'm not making promises of when exactly, but the next chapter (it's a CHUNKY one that I need to heavily edit and add to) will be out before the end of November, and the next updates will come pretty quick after that since they won't be as long (the Games don't cover much time so it will be shorter chapters cus of less content)
Anyway, I hope you are all doing well. If you've stuck around this long and read all of this, you're so sweet thankyou :')
I'm hoping the quality of my writing (hopefully has improved?) and the next chapters will make up for at least some of the length of how long this hiatus was
- soup ♡
@_Soulkeeper_ hiii!! Aw I'm glad you've stuck around, you've been here nearly since the beginning ♡
Heyyyy, glad you are back! Happy to hear you are back on track with your health and uni stuff! :)
Venus is, without doubt, the best The Hunger Games fanfic ever. I truly hope that you are able to continue your story soon!! Because I need a happy ending for Edith and Finninck ❤️
@pilu_01 thank you for your kind words omg!!! I'm so sorry for the late reply too, will be giving an update on where I'm at with writing very soon ♡♡♡
I genuinely think about Venus daily
@Cherrytilz omg that's so kind of you to say, I'm so sorry about the hiatus I've been on and this late reply, will give you guys an update on where I'm at in a moment :)
love venus !!
hey! so i was cleaning my room earlier, wearing my earphones with my spotify on shuffle. then, unknown/nth by hozier started playing and suddenly, i was reminded of edith and finnick :') it was such a bittersweet moment omg. you can imagine me pausing mid-cleaning to sit and stare at nothing with my mouth agape, picturing edith singing this song on stage while finnick is on the dance floor, his glassy eyes only on her. and the pain hit me like a truck that i no longer had the energy to continue cleaning after the song ended LMAO
just wanted to share this with you because i thought it's cute how your story has me on chokehold. it's also cute how i will always be reminded of them whenever i hear unknown *cries ugly tears
i hope all is well with you!! ♡♡♡
@lentilsoupp23 so glad to hear from you again!! i can't believe it's already been a year since the previous chapter and yet i still feel the same way about edith and finnick :')
@geeyuh omg this is the sweetest thing ever I'm so sorry for the late reply, will be giving an update on where I'm at with writing Venus in a moment ♡

@lentilsoupp23 Girl that means the whole world to me TY!!! Good luck for your assignments I’m sure you’ll smash them! ♥️
I love venus!!!
@_Gibbo aw that's so sweet, thank you! I'm a little stuck on the current chapter but I'll have an update out soon. Thanks for being patient :) ♡
So this just happened and once I collected all my thoughts and calmed my heart rate and all that I realized what my dream was on last night.
Like many people I’ve been rereading all of the hunger games books after reading sunrise on the reaping because it changes so many things. With that I have reread my favorite pieces of media that surround the hunger games books (meaning I started with Venus duh) and last night I dreamt of the 70th hunger games. Not of hunger games canon compliant but of the 70th hunger games that Edith Scotch won.
I have spent so much time thinking about Venus that I literally am dreaming about it to.
@Mrjjo24 omg I love laufey's music so much, she's amazing. personally I don't mind if people think of voice claims for who Edith would sing like, but I don't think I'll ever attach a voice to her character. But it's very cool to hear how people would imagine it though. the vibes of laufey's performances fit very well actually
So I’ve been trying to find a singer for a few days now that I think fits her voice and I found Laufey, she’s a jazz pop singer whose voice I would describe as a weighted soprano. But listening to her music is how I think I picture Edith’s
@Mrjjo24 omg thanks for sharing that it's so cool to read how your subconscious imagined it as + what stood out to you. also!! Edith as a mezzo-soprano is pretty much how I imagine her singing, I feel like it fits really well. I never really had a voice in mind for her, but moreso that she had a really clear voice that could go deep or high
someone in my apartment complex is blasting catching fire on full volume, it's so loud I can hear it from my balcony. I feel like this is a sign from the universe to hurry up and finish this damn update for Venus lmao
@lentilsoupp23 the spike scene and the scene where Katniss and Peeta almost drown the poor man
@lentilsoupp23 thank you haymitch for blessing us the spile that adds a year in my life everytime i watch that holy scene. also, holy cow, i just realized edith will be singing a funeral song aka the old therebefore in the next chapter. i will positively combust and will be reading the rest of the story in the afterlife
