You just need to know you are a genius. You’re finnick trying to tell Katniss he’s on her side is GENIUS

Thank you so much 😂

I just deeply empathise with anyone trying to communicate in either normal or increasingly ridiculous ways with this traumatised teenager. Her district knows and loves her and refuses to clap as a form of protest when she volunteers, Peeta looks at her like she hung the stars in the sky, Madge spends every day by her side, Delly swears she's the coolest person she's ever met, Finnick is this close 🤏🏻 to doing cartwheels holding up a sign with glitter letters that says "LET'S KILL SNOW TOGETHER XOXO" and Johanna somehow manages to protect the two (2) very vulnerable allies she decided she wanted on her team inside a murder arena and her take-aways are, respectively: no one gives a shit about me but hey my district is sort of cool, wants to kill me, casual acquaintance, delusional, DEFINITELY wants to kill me, DEFINITELY DEFINITELY wants to kill me (but to be fair very badass about it).

Meanwhile the No. 1 Unreadable Person In The Room aka Haymitch Abernathy sort of scratches his left eyebrow and Katniss is like "got it, he evidently needs me to do three backflips towards the northwest. Duh". And everyone in the room is like 🫪🫪🫪 but then Haymitch goes "thank god ONE of you is paying attention"

They are insufferable I love them so much

Sometimes I think about Finnick trying to befriend Katniss before the Quell and I lose my shit

The other rebels are like you need to subtly let her know you're on her side, so you go bet and turn your charm up to 11. Which would have maybe worked on anyone else but this is Katniss Everdeen we're talking about.

So now you're stuck doing increasingly ridiculous social gymnastics every time she's around and still by the time the night before the Games arrives the only thing she's convinced of about you is that you are going to try to fucking murder her

So you freak out, seek out Haymitch and basically go "hey what the fuck is wrong with your kid". And Haymitch just stares ahead for a second, nods, takes off his bracelet, says "wear this" and leaves. You fucking hate district 12

So you go okay. Breathing exercises. This is fine. Guess I'll have to save her life during the Games or sth maybe that'll do the trick. And when you see the Arena you cheer up for a sec bc you definitely have the advantage here she'll have to trust you right?

Wrong. She can fucking swim. SHE CAN FUCKING SWIM.

So now you're in the Cornucopia with no cards up your sleeve, no time left, and arguably the other deadliest tribute in that Arena pointing at you with a bow, and so you go "you know what, fuck it, I'm going to die anyways" and you show her the bracelet

AND IT FUCKING WORKS

Bear in mind Finnick had no first-hand experience on Katniss and Haymitch's bitch-to-bitch telepathy this was his first contact with it

Just saying lucky for the Rebellion this was Finnick and not me if I was in his place I would have killed her there and then just out of principle

Seeing a lot of appreciation for the bitch-to-bitch telepathy comment and just wanted to say I didn't coin it, I saw it first on this post by @lilaccatholic and it so perfectly encapsulates their dynamic that I am now simply unable to refer to their relationship in any other terms ❤️

“Haymitch, it’s up to you,” says Coin.

A furious Peeta hammers Haymitch with the atrocity he could become party to, but I can feel Haymitch watching me. This is the moment, then. When we find out exactly just how alike we are, and how much he truly understands me.

“I’m with the Mockingjay,” he says.

Mockingjay, Chapter 26

No but the way this man fucking loves Katniss. The only reason he's stayed alive at all for the last 25 years is to fulfill a promise, and, at this exact point, it's really, finally up to him to do so. He can, at last, give peace to the army of ghosts that have been suffocating him, screaming at him in his sleep and his waking hours, haunting his every breath since he was a child. The option to just put an end to it is, in some unimaginable, wondrous way, finally on the table, and the choice is entirely his. It must feel like a dream. This is everything he's been waiting and fighting for, his whole life.

And still he takes one look at an unstable, grief-stricken, deranged Katniss, and he lets the moment pass. Do you have any idea how much sheer trust and adoration you have to have for someone to do something like that.

They drive me insane.

"Gandalf, buddy? What have you got there?"

"Oh him? That my emotional support hobbit."

"Uh huh. And what he got?"

"That's my hobbit's emotional support hobbit."

"And I suppose those two are also emotional support hobbits as well?"

"No, of course not. Those two are my emotional distress hobbits."

".....?"

"Keeps me on my toes."

Gandalf: Well you stole my last emotional support hobbit

Elrond: I didn't steal him, he was given to me

#every race in middle earth playing who gets to keep bilbo will never stop being funny #elrond was being very nice about it which is why gandalf never saw him coming in the first place #so he went oh you like hobbits?? i'll give you hobbits #bilbo baggins #frodo baggins #meriadoc brandybuck #peregrin took #gandalf #elrond #tlotr #lotr #the lord of the rings #the hobbit

okay so in the book when bilbo was able to break out the dwarves from the elvenking's dungeon, thorin said something about how they will be for ever at bilbo's service. and i think about how erebor did not disclose bilbo's identity and whereabouts to the servant of sauron, how some dwarves helped him in his 111th birthday, and how when some dwarves passed by the shire they looked on the place with wonder and gratitude for there was the hobbit who helped the dwarves restore erebor

#he really is the dwarves' special little guy #also the elves'#the real kick to bilbo isn't that he survived his adventure or that he was incredibly brave throughout it #but that he somehow got adopted by two species that hate each other's guts and a wizard in the process #and also a werewolf for some reason #can't blame them #a judgy nosy bitch who shows up to the battlefield with a letter opener no shoes and a strong desire to be anywhere else what's not to love #bilbo baggins #the hobbit #tlotr #lotr #the lord of the rings

Jaime is delirious. His stump has gotten infected. He’s been through all this stuff with Brienne, so there’s this sort of bond, and she’s judging him — she has contempt for him — and he doesn’t want her to have contempt for him, because, in some sense, he’s come to admire her, and he wants her approbation. It all comes out in that scene. It’s a revelatory scene: he’s revealing his viewpoint of what happened — his great sin — which, of course, according to the kingdom, was killing Aerys, the Mad King.

Baggins tradition

gazpachoandbooks

"The average hobbit goes on 3 homoerotic adventures a year" factoid actually just statistical error. Adventures Bagginses, who live under the Hill and go on 837 adventures a year, are outliers adn should not have been counted

Do you think Cersei would have been less or more insulted it Robert had called out Ned’s name on their wedding night instead of Lyanna’s

sansa and arya are not the villains of each other’s stories, sansa and arya are a reminder that there are no winners in a world that hates women and girls on principle. sansa conforms to the patriarchy and they hate her. arya rebels against the patriarchy and they hate her. sansa embodies the ideal westerosi highborn woman, so she is labeled as “stupid” and too naive for the real world. arya refuses to perform westeros’s narrow definition of femininity, so she is labeled as “willful” and unfit for highborn society. sansa and arya perceive their own gender identities in relation to each other, identities that are built on not being like the other - sansa is “the good girl, the obedient girl” and arya is the “wicked” girl. on one hand, sansa gains a false sense of security from not being like arya, believing that following strict gender norms will keep her safe (it doesn’t), and even if she slips up and is “bad”…well she might hate herself for it, but at least she’s not as bad as arya! on the other hand, arya believes that anything “traditionally feminine” is reserved for girls like sansa and is off-limits for her, that she is inherently less than and wrong and ugly because she is not like sansa. both sisters have been raised to compete for approval, for the status of being “real” girls, they are not allowed to coexist because there is only one way to be a highborn woman in westeros. nobody wins, they both lose their wolves, they both lose their home, their family, each other. and what are they punished for? the crime of being little girls.
