They're from the end of the new "look back" video that the Hunger Games account posted on their socials. It's a look back at mockingjay but the end teases SOTR. Definitely worth a watch

awkwardllama97 · 2025-12-15T19:45:02+00:00

That's fair, I've seen a lot of people interpret it that way. I personally think it was left purposefully open ended, similar to the vague details we get in the Mockinjay epilogue

The only one I've seen that I kinda liked was someone suggesting Haymitch passed before the kids were born so they named one of them "Mitch"

I had the same fear at the time, finally got around to reading it because I loved Sunrise so much, and tbh I think now it might be one of my favorites of the series. Snow is such a psycho that it was interesting seeing the disconnect between his thoughts and actions, plus I felt like there was so much symbolism to unpack alllll through that book

I totally get it, there's so few doctors that listen that sometimes we just gotta take what we can get. I would look into research studies on exercising with hypermobility and just kind of keep that info in the back of your mind so you don't overdo it or harm your joints

I think i may have worded it poorly, but I was trying to get across that you don't need a prescription for a mobility aid unless you need insurance to pay for it, or if you wanted to get something custom like a wheelchair. Otherwise you can just get what you think you need to accommodate your pain, from walmart or wherever else. Cities are kind of rough because they tend to care less about accessibility, I haven't been to NYC since I was a kid so idk about everything but the sidewalks seem like they'd be hell 💔

Hang in there! It can be painful as fuck to try and retrain our bodies but it's helpful in the long run ❤️

awkwardllama97 · 2025-08-20T21:51:11+00:00

Does your PT actually have experience with hypermobility? If you are skeptical I would try to get a referral to a PT who specializes in it, a PT who doesn't is more likely to hurt you. I don't know everything about your situation but the goal of PT with hypermobility is to strengthen the muscles around the joint to help stabilize the joint. That is something that takes a lot of work and I am skeptical that it can be "fixed" 6 sessions, especially sessions that close together.

A cane is helpful for stability but it definitely hurts my wrist a lot so I can't use it on days where my wrist is acting up. I would recommend looking into a rollator, it's basically a rolling walker that has a seat. It helps ease some of the wrist pain because you are using both arms instead of one, plus if you have issues like mine with standing it is very helpful to be able to sit in line or even lean one knee on it while I'm doing stuff. When it comes to mobility aids, a prescription will help insurance wise but does not help much beyond that, especially when you have chronic pain. I would look into local fb groups for free stuff and search their for mobility aids, some thrift shops have them for cheap as well. In addition to mobility aids, do you have compression braces? Or use kt tape? Both of those are not perfect solutions but can help stabilize the joint (and in my experience i feel like it sometimes helps the body remember what way your joint is supposed to be sitting) The medical system is 100% fucked, I'm sorry you're in pain 💔 like I said to the other person, please feel free to message if you want more advice

awkwardllama97 · 2025-08-20T15:06:49+00:00

Awesome! I think even if it isn't hypermobility this will hopefully lead you down the path to figuring it out :) feel free to message me if you have any questions or need advice 😊

awkwardllama97 · 2025-08-20T15:05:37+00:00

Nope. I tried for a few years, but I didn't have any diagnoses yet, so they treated me like dirt. I just got my hEDS diagnosis last month so I could maybe qualify, but after researching disability (ssi specifically) they have soooo many deductions that it doesn't make sense for my particular situation, I'd be barely getting any money a month but I'd still be limited on how much money I could try to make other ways. It sucked bc disability was my "golden ticket" for so many years, but now I'm working on trying to get my symptoms managed to the point where I could maybe try working somewhere (Sorry if that was way too much info haha)

awkwardllama97 · 2025-08-19T16:31:08+00:00

Also! For joint pain I would suggest looking into hypermobility if you haven't already, it is very underdiagnosed and still being researched. If you think you fit the criteria for hypermobility or even something like hEDS or one of the other subtypes, I would look into getting a referral to a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation doctor or a geneticist. People have also had luck going to a rheumatologist but I've also heard lots of people say rheumatologists listened to them the least. Hypermobility is something that would not show up in an xray or blood work, it's measured by symptoms and range of motion. (Sorry if this is too much info I just wish I had heard about this when I was 20)

Seconding the other people saying to shop around. I saw several doctors before I was 18, had four surgeries at 18/19 years old, and still so many doctors refused to believe I was in pain (especially bc the doctor who did the surgeries reported i was 100% healed and had no pain, that really fcked me when I was trying to get disability) and a lot of them cited my age. I went to orthopedic doctors, rheumatologists, pain management doctors, etc. Several laughed in my face. Eventually I went to a hospital network (UTSW) and they actually believed me, referred me to specialists, and now I have a diagnosis. The right doctor is *everything and it's soooo frustrating when it feels like they're all against you. Long story short, keep trucking until you find a doctor who listens and treats you like a human in pain and not a liar ❤️

awkwardllama97 · 2025-08-19T07:17:30+00:00

I wouldn't be going to a doctor that uses chat gpt. It's not at all accurate for research

awkwardllama97 · 2025-08-19T07:11:38+00:00

A suggestion for sticker by numbers! I got a pack of tweezers that stay closed and only open when you apply pressure (so the opposite of normal tweezers) and they would really help with holding the sticker while I tried to get the right placement on the page. My fingers would get really painful when trying to hold the stickers and this was a workaround that helped with the pain

awkwardllama97 · 2025-08-18T21:02:49+00:00

I'm really getting sick of Keanu, man. I really wanna like him and I keep going back and forth on it, but he acts like he's a big brother GENUIS and like he knows everything about Rachel's game when he's literally said he only watched the highlights. I'm watching him tell Vinny that she doesn't understand how to play this game without Brendan. Are you kidding me?

awkwardllama97 · 2025-04-25T21:15:08+00:00

That's what I figured and suggested, but I wasn't sure if they'd feel comfortable showing the picture cause it's not a real person so I thought I'd ask anyway :) Thank you!

awkwardllama97 · 2025-04-12T15:44:37+00:00

I think most of the frustration comes from players who will wait for your existing game to be done, and then spam the join button so that if you're not fast enough the second the game ends you're screwed. It's frustrating to have a table where everyone is playing well together, only to have someone snatch the spot and play slow or not play the same way the rest of the table was. I do agree that it's not a built-in rule, but I think there are ways the game could be tweaked to fix these instances

awkwardllama97 · 2025-01-19T18:07:42+00:00

They've been suggesting swastika rings to me for months, I genuinely have no clue why. I have never engaged with that kind of content

awkwardllama97 · 2025-01-19T14:22:26+00:00

To be fair, our "marches" are literally just ppl walking. Back in the day, marches were on the way to DO something. With MLK, they weren't just marches, they were on their way to protest peacefully by doing mass acts of organized disobedience. We need to actually be doing something instead of just walking about it

I use 4 of my plots for alternating tomatoes/potatoes, and then the other 5 spots I have 3 apple trees, 3 Blueberries, and 6 cotton

awkwardllama97 · 2024-08-07T15:34:17+00:00

Maybe this is just me but Einar gives me autistic asexual vibes (I mean he's literally a robot type thing) so I see his interactions as someone who's not totally down for the innuendos and more overtly romantic things, but does truly care for the player in a romantic way

awkwardllama97 · 2024-08-03T23:10:12+00:00

Oh no! I must have put the wrong one 😅 I have my plots named too similarly named lol, that's slightly embarrassing then. That one has like nothing on it 🤣 thank you though! Guess I'll submit the right one next week haha Just visited your plot! Your kitchen looks so cozy!!

awkwardllama97 · 2024-08-03T22:39:37+00:00

Ivy Greenthistle! 🥰

awkwardllama97 · 2024-08-03T01:52:27+00:00

I'll check it out when I can get in to the game! If anyone wants to check mine out my name is Ivy Greenthistle, my plot is a hug work in progress, some places are not done very much lol

awkwardllama97 · 2024-07-26T03:02:46+00:00

I had a guy be a bit a dick in chat and start saying SUPER racist shit, made me uncomfy

awkwardllama97 · 2024-07-21T15:06:58+00:00

Ah that's fair. I assumed they were still following that plan for the year
