I don't really know if this blog has a purpose. I guess I will just post about the things I love or find funny. Things I love: art, fashion, arctic monkeys, P!atd, and various other bands//ENTP

The Covey, on top of insisting that they aren’t being district and their more outright rebellions also bring a really interesting aspect of chaos to District 12: the world BEFORE the war.

I’ve been hung up on how Maude Ivory sings “Oh My Darling Clementine”, a real folk song from even well before OUR time. The fact that the Covey are able to remember and bring back culture from before the Districts existed is extremely powerful and dangerous to the Capitol, as it suggests knowledge of a world without the district system.

Very few other characters mention this, one being Plutarch (MJ 74 “We’re going to form a republic where the people of each district and the Capitol can elect their own representatives to be their voice in a centralized government. Don’t look so suspicious; it’s worked before.”)

One of the biggest reasons why the Covey are dangerous is because through their music, they preserve times of old, and enforce further that the sun may rise on the reaping now, but it didn’t always, which means that it may not always in the future either.

The beef between Haymitch and Snow is so funny. The way Haymitch drank an entire pitcher of milk just so Snow wouldn't get any, so Snow kept supplying him milk throughout his entire stay in the Capitol after his victory... bro what are you doing you're the president of Panem😭

haymitch says himself katniss is like him, but luckier.

katniss realized the berries were nightlock before peeta ate them.

“sotr is mid because you already know how it ends” shut the fuck up, the point of the book is that despite knowing how it ends you would have never known what actually went down because that’s the point of propaganda, the whole book is about the power of propaganda

Donald Trump: In the beautiful Midwest, windchill temperatures are reaching minus 60 degrees, the coldest ever recorded. In coming days, expected to get even colder. People can’t last outside even for minutes. What the hell is going on with Global Waming? Please come back fast, we need you!

Lemony Snicket: As I’m sure you are aware, dear reader, the term climate describes what the weather is like over a long period of time in a specific area, whereas weather refers to short-term changes in the atmosphere. This is why people do not generally say “horrible climate we’re having” when they can think of nothing else to add in polite conversation.

Tumblr is like the Baudelaire children of websites : Being passed on from one terrible authority figure to another who always fail to address the real problems chasing it down all along

the mysterious benedict society is so important

the second character we meet is miss perumal, an indian woman

the team is composed of four different types of intelligence and they are all valued and no one belittles anyone else for being smart in a different way

amazing female characters in kate, constance, number two, rhonda, and miss perumal

it’s a rly cute story

it’s about abandoned children and how shitty institutions treat them

it’s also about how children are more intelligent and intuitive than adults and the whole story is about how no one pays attention to kids but really they speak the truth

it’s also about how family ties aren’t the strongest and that how families formed through friendship are unbreakable

it’s not ableist at all mr. benedict has narcolepsy and number two has insomnia and milligan is depressed in the first book and sticky has anxiety and reynie probably has some form of depression and it doesn’t at all affect their skills or amazingness or leadership or greatness or intelligence or ability

the story is rly cute and the characters are rly cute

poc!! sticky, rhonda, miss perumal

it’s super empowering for youth and shows how kids can solve problems often better than adults and mr. benedict repeatedly stresses that

did i mention how cute the story is

“The Mysterious Benedict Society,” Constance said, rising as she spoke. Then she left the room, apparently convinced that no more discussion was necessary.

And, as it turned out, she was right.

+Bonus, Gia Sandhu has been cast as Ms Perumal!

Going to sleep early, 11 pm, 10pm, 9pm, and then waking up early. 7 am. 6 am, 5 am. Be the first person at your local library, be there as soon as it opens. Watch the sun as it rises, and laugh as the birds chirp. Wear your favourite sweaters in the morning chill. Drink coffee in the morning instead of the night. Opening your windows and blinds and annotating your books by sunlight instead of candlelight. The smell of cookies baking wafting through the air in the afternoon as Lana Del Rey plays in the background. Walking to your favourite bookstore instead of taking the bus or any other transport. Making up backstories of people you see on the way. 

Romanticisation of healthy dark academia.

alton brown: alright, chefs. you have thirty minutes to prepare… chicken. as i’m sure you already know, chicken is typically prepared with chicken, and has a nice flavor of chicken

some chef, inevitably: i look in my basket and realize i forgot the chicken

I wonder if, when you have a really young kid and you play them something like Pet Sounds, whether it sort of seeps in…
