Hello homos and homies I'm Asmi, I'm a chaotic neutral gay and I write and art and stuff. I'm either talking about philosophy or crack theories and I like flirting with people for vibes. I wave to trees when the wind waves them at me. Now if you don't mind I can perform a short number from the Hamilton soundtr--oh well don't have time for that? How dare you. Oh well your loss. I hate to give up the spotlight but yes final fact about me is I really like hugs and pretty boys.

Gah! Public speaking! *hiss* Ah well, if I must I must.

Hello! I'm Arky. I love to read. It's what I'm doing most of the time. Books, fanfiction, short stories, graphic novels, gimme! I also read fast. In school I was the kid with 5 read for pleasure books in my bag. I also used to be in musicals in high school and college! All time favorite roll was Cinderella in Into the Woods. If you want to hear me go on an angry rant, ask me about the Disney version.

Ok, that's enough babble from me.

I’m Mori and I fall down a lot *smiles but it’s true* errrr, I’ve had to speak in public a lot for other people or as a performance but not usually just about me.

Hmm, the instructions said one thing. That was three things, unless my name doesn’t really count since it’s already there. Do I get extra credit or penalized?

*returns to my seat at the back of class, manage not to hurt myself even after smacking into the wall*

*gasps in lowercase!* *quickly tries to think of what to say but panics instead*

Ok... I guess I'll just... *Points awkwardly and stands in front of everyone, deciding I'll just say a few brève words and go back to my little world.*

*Thinks about how cool it is to introduce oneself as I slowly walk to the front, but body doesn't like it one bit: heart is pounding and arms are hanging weirdly at my sides. I don't like it, and begin overthinking how others might be perceiving my discomfort* *I try to play it off like I'm normal*

Hi! :) *Half of you are not looking and that somehow makes it worse than if you did* :)

*Feels like throwing up but manages*

People started calling me Cookie around here so I go by that now... That's not my real name, of course, hehe... *everyone stares, unamused. I swallow the lump in my throat very seriously*

I like writing but I read a lot less than I should... Probably... That used to make me quirky and special in school but not anymore, you know? Grown people have a lot of expectations, it turns out, and I'm not very good at things...

*Remembers life and gets sad. Doesn't show it but it's thinking loudly*

Anyway! I've done a lot of artistic stuff but never really succeeded in anything yet...

Drawing hands is hard, right? Hehe... I like... Drawing... Sometimes... *lowers voice and then raises it again because communication reasons*

I like movies too, and stuff... And studying, because I'm a big whimpy nerd! :) :l

And........ What else can I say?

Oh! My mother thinks I look like a meerkat :) and I think that's funny because it's true. 😅 It's cute, I think... 🧍‍♀️💓

Um... Is that good?

*Teacher nods, feeling sorry for my entire existence*

*I feel like apologizing... But I won't, because I'm a big grown... A bad bi... I'm an adult. 😈😼💋*

*I go sit next to Mori and whisper/thank them for cleaning and putting off the fire. It was very nice of them :)* *I offer them a cookie* *They take it* *I go back to my mind palace whilst trying to calm myself but it doesn't work immediately* *Zorka turn in their seat and politely smiles at me because we're friends* *I do the same*

(Shit. Why do talk so much? ... Should I have said anything about the hyperfixations?? Nah probably not. Would be weird... And it doesn't really matter... Right? Even if someone likes it it would be odd to say it out loud) *Overthinks and feels nauseous for the entire period*

[booksandpaperss]

Suzanne collins wrote a trilogy where a main media propaganda strategy was to market a horrific act of violence as a love story to distract ppl and then it got adapted into a box office breaking movie and ppl made it all about the love triangle. so then since they didn’t get the point the first time Suzanne collins wrote a prequel story about the main dictator and she makes it so that you as a reader want it to be a genuine love story so badly even tho it’s so very clearly not and instead feels extremely unsettling to make her point even more meta which then gets adapted into another box office breaking film and now ppl are making romantic snowbaird tik toks. do u think she’s gonna write another book that’s somehow even more blatant or just give up and start executing ppl? hard to say but I wouldn’t blame her for the second one

[timelesslords]

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.
