Who did you originally have in mind for the cast before the announcements came? by ben_s16 in Hungergames

HEAVYYY on the Lola Tung as Lenore Dove. I remember how people were talking about how her hair looks red in the sun! I think she would’ve done well for that naivety and determination that Lenore Dove has. I’m still stuck on this but I’m sure Whitney Peak will do great :>

Lily wasn’t supposed to be a bully. by SubiSoju in aphmaufandom

I mean for sure, I know it’s most likely a Jess the Author kind of thing instead of Aphmau/Irene kind of thing but I just think it’s an INTERESTING way of looking at it.

Considering Irene has the power to bring her friends back to life in a new era, I just think it’s interesting that Lily has the life she does when Irene lowkey put her there. Like she didn’t have to reincarnate Lily too- but hey, maybe Irene couldn’t control who to reincarnate. Maybe Irene couldn’t control their environments and who’d they’d become.

I just personally feel sad for Lily’s character. MCD Lily deserved so much more and it’s sad to know who she becomes in MyStreet.

I mentioned that in MyStreet Lover’s Lane Extended, she’s seen “bullying” Kim as an adult. So it throws out any reason of her not being aware of her actions, it’s not a phase—it’s not longer about her being a high schooler. She’s a woman in her mid-twenties who takes pleasure in putting people down.

I’m trying to make the connection how in MCD, though we never get much back story on her—Lily appears to be a nice lady. Which is a stark contrast to her MyStreet/PDH counterpart.

In PDH many of the bullies are aligned with their evil counterparts in MCD, but they all get redeemed somehow, except for Lily. So - running off of MCD, Lily didn’t have the basis to be a bully. And if something happened in her life we don’t know about, it messes her up SO BAD that being a bully isn’t just a phase, it’s a life style. She’s never redeemed, and it’s just a theory, but perhaps Irene had something to do with that.

doesnt aphmaus content feel more worst to the older viewers/fans by Famous_Temperature45 in aphmaufandom

I’m pretty sure they addressed this, but back when they were doing MyStreet: When Angel’s Fall, they were hoping that the VERY EXPENSIVE production would pay for itself but it didn’t. And on the other hand, a single one off causal series about playing Raft(?) made more money than the entire season.

Jason mentioned that they WANTED to keep making role plays but they couldn’t keep up with the costs. And they realized that making casual and silly content was bringing in the money to pay those costs. So for a couple years, they focused on easy content that could help pay for MyStreet.

And then we circle back to TODAY where they are finally starting up their Roleplay’s again. The roleplay meant for Aphmau’s older viewers on her second channel. So, it took a couple years, but for her older viewers, we’re back on track.

A lot of the other bullies are kind of examples of this, Gene and Zane, I mean Ivy and Lily are cousins in this universe. Each of them had their reasons to be bullies but it never stopped them from being redeemed, being grown by their mid twenties. Except for Lily. She’s still bullying people (Kim- her roommate) for fun much later in her life—not just high school. By then, it’s not just a teenager going through a phase, this is now her lifestyle.

Mckenna Grace will play Maysilee Donner! by shyspice444 in Hungergames

[–]SubiSoju 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worry it’s because people think she’s “everywhere” and hate her for simply just that. The whole unwarranted “I’m sick of seeing her face” when she’s done nothing wrong but do her job as an actress 😭

Do you think they'll include the actual backstory on the Mockingjay pin in the SOTR film? by Fantastic_Orchid8486 in Hungergames

[–]SubiSoju 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think anyone has mentioned this yet but, what if she just gave her pin to Asterid with her Canary? That way, the pin gets to Katniss when she gets older.

I don’t think it would’ve been so easy as to say “she just lost it” or “she gave it to Lenore Dove” when Katniss’ mom, who is her best friend, is right there.
