The other day I had a really good idea for a story:

A high school Shakespeare club angrily splits into two groups when they can’t agree on the correct interpretation of Romeo and Juliet. One group thinks it’s a cautionary tale about the stupidity of youth and shallow lust; the other group think it’s a beautiful tragedy about poisonous hatred conquered by love. Reconciliation seems impossible-

-then a person from one group falls in love with a person from the other

the violence in bottoms (2023) is so satisfying in a way i don't really know how to put into words. somewhere between the violence against women that movies sometimes shy away from too much but also Lean Into a little too much (spectrum of either not depicting realistic violence/harassment due to discomfort with it or the "you can't hit her she's a girl!" concept vs gratuitous sensationalized violence). like it's that "boys will be boys" kind of roughhousing that girls are excluded from if the narrative frames them as too delicate / feminine / untouchable. and i see them beating the shit out of each other and it feels Good. they're not untouchable dolls nor are they objects to project malice and gratuitous violence onto! it's not even fully about the empowerment or seeing girls be able to fight back (which does feel amazing in its own right and the movie does a great job of delivering it) like even seeing like, idk black widow beat up a bunch of guys in a marvel movie doesn't feel the same as how bottoms does it. it feels unpolished and grounded and realistic and satisfying. #girlswillbegirls

you just know that gale hawthorne was walking around living that "mean love interest who will only smile at you" fantasy with katniss. the girl who only smiled with him in the woods apparently.

and that he jumped about 30 feet back the first time she laughed at peeta's joke within 3 minutes of them being on screen.

just finished the owl house for the first time. can you guess who my favs are

"Pads?" Harry asked, innocent face twisted into an expression of confusion. "I have a question."

"What's up, Prongslet?" Sirius looked toward his godson, concerned. Harry never looked so...well...serious.

"Can boys date girls? Because Ron says his mummy and daddy are going on a date."

He almost spit out his tea. The question was so hilariously ass-backwards but so sweetly innocent. Indeed, Harry had been raised around all queer couples- he and Remus, Dorcas and Marlene, Regulus and Barty. It made sense, really.

"Harry," he said gently, pulling the small child into his arms. "You mum and dad were married. Remember?"

Harry's eyes widened larger than galleons. "They dated?"

A snort came from the doorway, and Sirius turned to see Remus standing there, eyes sparkling. "Yes, Harry. They loved each other very much. You know that."

But Harry looked even more confused. "Like you and Paddy love each other, though? Not just like me and Ginny love each other?"

Sirius let out another chuckle. "No, Haz. They loved each other like Remus and I do."

"Oh," Harry nodded, face clouded over with thought. "I guess that's okay, then."

Remus walked up to Sirius from behind, pulling him into a hug. "I'm so glad Harry accepts the straights. We've raised such a tolerant child," he murmured in his husband's ear, making Sirius cackle.

when peeta reveals to the entire country that katniss is pregnant, katniss is taken aback (cf, 73). having to work through exactly what it means. what peeta is presenting to the country.

that she is pregnant. as she enters the hunger games. that her worst fear coming to fruition. the fear that plagues every parent in panem. losing their child to the games (cf, 73).

and, for the first time in the series, katniss does not completely dismiss the possibility of having a child.

and instead recognizes that she very well could have children. if the games did not loom over her. if she didn't build such strong defenses to protect herself from losing her children. protect herself from losing a husband (cf, 73).

before, she didn't even allow herself to think about such a future. one without the games. because what is the use in hoping for what's impossible (thg, 9).

but in this moment, she admits that what peeta is saying could be true. in a different world. she could be pregnant with a baby. (cf, 73).

but it is not clear at that specific moment that she would be referring to peeta's child. to their child. instead, it is just a hypothetical child.

thus, during the quarter quell and the revolution that follows, katniss's imaginary baby is referred to as only 'the baby.'

when peeta announces it to the world (cf, 73). when finnick covers for katniss's hysteria (cf, 80). when katniss explains to the sick in district eight that she lost the baby (mj, 68; 81).

in these cases, 'the baby' remains something distant. something impersonal. something with no unique connection to katniss. or peeta.

however, in the sweet haze that follows the beach scene, she lets it slip into her thoughts. right as peeta lays her down to sleep. and rests his hand on her lower abdomen. right where she notes that "our baby would be (cf, 100).

and how solemn this moment is. a moment where katniss is able to imagine her perfect future. no longer denied by the cruelty of their world. a future with her baby. their baby. 

in a world without the games. without the capitol. where their child could be safe.

these two are completely unhinged and i love that for them
