I Really Hate When People Dismiss The Ending Of His Dark Materials Because It Leans Into The Trope "love

why can't I ever write a post that is not a long-ass stream of consciousness?

also, why do I think of timebomb and want to cry. they are so different. they are the same.

my poor babies.

ah yes

Josh Hutcherson as Peeta Mellark in the first Hunger Games makes me want to pinch his little cheek and ruffle his hair, in Mockingjay I would like to wrap him up in a blanket, give him little kisses on the forehead, and keep him in a safe place forever. In Catching Fire however…I’m about to make the baby rumor he started true.

His dark materials “The botanic garden”

Darker times will come and go

Times you need to see her smile

And mothers' hearts are warm and mild

I would rather feel this world through the skin of a child

—AURORA; Through the Eyes of a Child

I feel like Peeta didn't really think too much into giving Katniss the pearl and yet she treasured it so much!! She loves sweet gestures, she loves trinkets!! And she's been deprived for so long!!!

“Not all men”

You’re right. Benji Ovich would never do this to me

TV!Panjava: Friends to Lovers. Pure af.

Book!Panjava: Girl falls first, Boy falls Harder. Surprisingly electric to the point many readers came out claiming they had sex so much that Philip Pullman had to explicitly write in tbod2 that they hadn't.

"My nightmares are usually about losing you. I'm okay once I realize you're here" - Peeta, Cathing Fire

It's the smallest thing maybe but it's funny to me Sunrise on the Reaping has given me another reason to dislike Gale.

Thinking of Madge on reaping day, wearing her nice dress and Gale giving her shit for it. Like she has a choice. Like she has say. Like it's her fault who she was born to. It's such an interesting example of class vs culture wars. This idea that the people up the road who have a nice house are the enemy and not the faceless people thousands of miles away who profit on their poverty.

Thinking of Maysilee who was very conscious of the way she dressed. Who liked looking nice and dressing up. Who is Madge's aunt that she never met. Who Madge heard stories of growing up about her moms twin sister who always loved fashion and knew the importance of masking and the power of how you present to people. Don't let them treat us like animals.

And when Madge lifts her head and says "I want to look my best if I go to the Capitol" and Gale has the audacity to scoff at her.

It also speaks to how quickly history is lost. He probably doesn't even know her aunt died in the games. Doesn't care. You never ever ever know what hurt people are carrying. What their history is. What their familial struggle has been. Don't punch down. Don't punch sideways. Don't even punch up. Break the chain and destroy the person holding the reins.
