"She never looked nice. She looked like art, and art wasn’t supposed to look nice; it was supposed to make you feel something.”
giggling at the thought of snow watching katniss and peeta win the games under haymitch’s mentorship with lucy gray’s songs as their own personal soundtrack. every mockingjay that he could never control on one unhinged team, openly defying his rules and winning the public’s adoration in the process. absolutely insane.
not to mention eventually singing about the place sejanus died. every person snow has ever wronged or betrayed haunts him in the mere existence of katniss and peeta
thinking about how the hunger games were designed to prove that without society, order, government, someone to rule, we devolve into little more than animals, and how the games themselves prove over and over again that this is not true. We see it in every single game we witness.
Katniss placing flowers around Rue's body in the arena. Thresh sparing Katniss because she was kind to Rue, even though he was making it that much harder for himself to win.
Haymitch going back for Maysilee after hearing her scream even though their alliance had been broken. Haymitch holding her as she dies the same way Katniss did Rue.
Coral's "I can't have killed them all for nothing" when she realizes she's not going home. Lamina cutting down Marcus at great personal risk. And, my favorite moment in tbosas, Reaper collecting the bodies of his fellow tributes, his peers, even the ones who tried to kill him, into a pile. Taking the weapons from their hands. Closing their eyes and crossing their arms in the best approximation of a proper burial he can manage, covering them with the Capitol flag as a makeshift shroud.
The Games bring out the worst in people, yes. But despite the extreme circumstances, despite the exterior pressure of the Capitol, despite the fact that it could mean pain and heartbreak and death, it also shows that people have an enormous capacity for goodness. That even in a situation purposefully designed to make empathy impossible, people can't help but have it anyway.
Snow looks at the Games and all he can see is what's inside himself-- this pure animalistic drive to conquer and defeat. He kills and it feels good and he thinks that everyone else must feel that way too. He doesn't realize (maybe can't realize) that he is the exception, not the rule. He cannot see outside himself, outside his own warped perspective, to realize that the fact that people do show humanity in the games proves his entire worldview wrong.
I think the most radical thing the hunger games does is tell young people that the most revolutionary thing you can do is have unconditional love for humanity. Katniss throughout the entire series is guided by a deep sense of compassion for the people around her. It is what causes her to volunteer, to bury rue, to mercy kill cato, its why she tries to save peeta, why finnick telling her to remember who the real enemy is works, and even though her compassion for the larger world falters when peeta is kidnapped, it comes back when she visits hospitals and asks for mercy for other victors and ultimately, it is love and belief in a better humanity that makes her kill coin. Through it all, she maintains an unfaltering belief in the fundemental goodness of humanity, which is diametrically opposed to dr gaul's and snow's worldview. Peeta is even more unwaveringly compassionate
So the series tells young people that the most revolutionary thing you can be is compassionate. Let compassion drive your politics. Let yourself believe in the fundemental goodness of people. And i think that's deeply important in a world that touts the superiority of pure reason or logic, to allow yourself to be guided by something as emotional as compassion. Katniss everdeen tells us that your politics should be rooted in compassion in a world that thinks detatchment or cynicism is intelligence and i think thats v cool
The entire world is sort of falling apart.
But that doesn't mean that I or my thirty three year old stuffed bear from my childhood (Which mind you wasnt even mine. My mom came home with it from her work white elephant party) have to as well.
While I have thumbs and free will to prevent me from falling apart, Big Bear here has neither. The only thing he has going for him is that he is VITIALLY important to my well being.
So when its time for a rare bath and a hole is found. Emergency 12:30am surgery starts.
If I cant fall apart he cant either.

Why did our Super Villians turn out to be such DWEEEBS. ITS EMBARRASSING.
THE LORD OF THE RINGS UNIVERSAL TRIVA STANDOM IS CYBER BULLYING HIS CRINGE HATE CRIME ON TIKTOK.
I need every pro sports league to cancel their drafts and send the athletes back to high school to retroactively bully people. Clearly some people dont know what shame feels like and we need to circle back about it.
ALSO VIVEK DID NOT EVEN MAKE IT THROUGH A SINGLE SCARAMUCCI.
Amateur hour across the board.
We showed up to the mandatory circus with the full understanding of the clowns that ran said circus, except it feels like they are understudies that haven't even met each other
But they just locked the doors and you gotta hope this set of.. just not quite right.. clowns can manage to not burn down the tent with you all inside
FUCK
Happy Onyx Storm day to those who celebrate.
I am not sure what their world or ours will look like on the other side of that last page turn. But we will see it, together.
It can't be the end of everything if there is still a We to be found.
we dumped tea into the harbor for less
will they won’t they is annoying when it’s young people but sexy with old people and that’s why adama and roslin are unmatched
Life is hard and I am fighting to understand how it can be worth all the work when your positive progress on your personal growth and healing is constantly rewarded with the things you put importance in being taken from you.
I might want nothing more in these pictures to lay on the kitchen floor and cry, and I might by the end of the night. And that too is seen as just how life is.
Her. Them. They are why its worth it to continue to try and be the best me I can each day.
Watching your mother slowly die of genetic conditions you inherited because of her poor choices is like being given a Choose Your Own Adventure book where there is only one ending but you have been given the hints that give you extra chapters. And every second of every day you have to weigh how the trauma of her illness has effected everyone she loves vs. Making the time you have enjoyable.
Do you live your life as enjoyable as possible and inflict that same trauma on others, or try and make all the right choices and suffer constantly but get an extra 10-20 years.
You collected bones, but I hid the bodies.
I'm blowing up my life but I'm standing by the crater
