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

Reread The Dark Artifices to get ready for The Last King of Faerie and somehow ended up with fresh emotional damage and a new piece of fanart. The Blackthorns remain undefeated. ✨🖤* also on a personal note I recently got hired for my first full time teaching position! If you would like to help a nerdy broke teacher out here is me shamelessly plugging that my Amazon wishlist is in my bio- k thanks 😘

You’d think that once you finally get long term access to a cat and your yearning to have cat access is fulfilled that you’d become slightly less obsessed with seeing people’s cats but no if anything it gets worse

do you have a moment to talk about bbc merlin’s main characters

I love that the Blackthorn family motto "lex mala lex nulla" is a direct response to the Clave's "sed lex dura lex" and it fits the Blackthorns in both time periods but in totally different ways.

"The Law is hard but it is the Law." "A bad law is no law."

In TLH, this means consorting with demons and dark magic and trying to destroy the Shadowhunters. In TDA, this means standing with your loved ones regardless of whether the law forbids you from it, not just in the Julian/Emma plotline but in defiance of the Cold Peace.

Laws can be based in morality but they don't define it. Being on the right side of the law doesn't guarantee you're doing the right thing. But being on the wrong side of the law doesn't guarantee you're doing the right thing either.

maybe usa politics would be less corrupt if we took the alec lightwood route and elected a 23 year old gay man with a 400 year old eccentric wizard husband and two adopted children ( one is blue mini wizard and one is a war orphan )

dude how did i not know warrior cats was getting an animated adaption. eleven year old me is losing her shit right now oh my god. i can tell you right now i will be sat in front of that laptop screen come 2028 i dont care if im a legal adult

[marquisoforder]

One thing I will say about Cassandra Clare and early Shadowhunters stuff is she stood on business ten toes down when it came to her villains. No lame nature vs. nurture debates, no last minute cop out redemption arcs for the YA audience, just demon incest, Victorian Elon musk and demon STDs that turn you into an evil worm. 10/10 no notes.
