Porch Light by Noah Kahan but it’s Peeta’s mother as the speaker after Peeta returns from the Games with his newfound fame and chooses to live in the victor’s village without them, and how she comforts herself by convincing herself she wasn’t all that bad of a mother and the fame’s gotten to his head, never realizing just how awful of a mother she was and continues to be, neglecting both of their trauma and forever further driving an irreparable rift between them both.

chapter 11 of illegitimate is up! after such an intense chapter last week, i could tell you this one's less intense, but i'd be lying.

illegitimate is my scarlet letter inspired fic about a seam woman who is pregnant with a peacekeeper's baby. it follows similar themes to the novel scarlet letter, but it's starting to deviate as the story progresses. hopefully you enjoy!

Mitski covered one direction?? Fireproof??

Hunger games characters according to the book descriptions!

I really enjoyed designing effie and imagining what capitol fashion would be like . For her outfit, I took some inspirations from high fashion on runway shows/ current trends and gave it a new eclectic spin!

P.s. I drew these back when the ballad of songbirds and snakes came out.

can i be petty for a moment? the cornucopia in the sotr movie pisses me off. It’s not at all a cornucopia.

[irresistible-revolution]

idk. i think fandom could use a lot less of “every person’s interpretation of a text is valid and true!” and more of “reading a text means taking all parts of it into account, including the bits you don’t like or the pairings you don’t ship, to consider what the full picture is and what the larger themes are.”

projecting your fantasies onto a text, hyperfocusing on the characters you think are hot/shippable and building entire theories based on micro interactions that don’t take other competing dynamics and plotlines into account isn’t “analysis” it’s projection and fantasy. which is fine, but take responsibility for your desires and your fantasies instead of making fandom inhospitable for everyone. some readings of a text are plain wrong, others miss or willfully erase vital context just to rationalize romantic pairings. these are not accurate readings of the text. doesn’t mean they should be attacked or shamed, but neither can you expect people to validate every single headcanon and shipper fantasy as a legitimate “reading” of the text either.

reading through the tags on ao3 and getting all the way to the bottom & seeing a tag i avoid is like waving to a person you think is your friend but at the last second you see that its actually a stranger

[justafewberries]

sorry for last week's cliff hanger type ending. I've resolved it for you. Chapter 10 of illegitimate's up now.

[creaturepeaches]

i hate it when i can tell my perception of a character is diminishing in real time because of fandom wank. like nooooo i want to maintain an objective relationship with the text but everyone is so annoying about you nooooo

lunch walk update (more pleasant than the bird attack): a guy cycling from the northern corner of my state to the most southern part gave me a balloon animal on the walking trail. pulled out the supplies from his pack and made me one right there.

the word unlearn is haunting me. go away. bad word.

AND ANOTHER THING. why does scrip exist in sotr. scrip is a real thing (company money that you could only spend at the company store) which makes no sense in the context of sotr because there IS NO COMPANY. the company is the government and therefore all money is legal tender!!!! words mean things suzanne!!!! once again she is using the aesthetic of appalachia without actually engaging with appalachian culture and what it means and it pisses me off!!!!
