whatever hyperfixations are plaguing me at the moment

[modernmusess]

katniss: everyone’s so focused on protecting peeta because they too know how pure hearted he is and believe that he—a boy they’ve never even met before—deserves to survive over them and their friends of literal decades

finnick, to literally everyone else: okay if peeta dies she’s gonna kill all of us and then herself, so hands in, protect bread boy on three-

were madge and katniss a little bit gay? who knows? certainly not katniss. that girl didn’t even realize they were friends

[modernmusess]

there’s something so gutwrenching about the fact that the female characters in obsession have real dreams and wishes but never get the chance to see them realized, while both male characters waste their wishes on short-term selfish satisfaction. they were complex, free-spirited young women who just wanted to create art, and they were destroyed by a man determined to confine them to his superficial perception of them. nikki wanted to be a writer, sarah wanted to be an tattoo artist and now neither of them will get to be anything at all

[modernmusess]

i can’t tell if will has a type or if they’re both just appealing to his white girl music taste like gatsby’s green light hoping that he’ll comment

[modernmusess]

the difference in hunger games narrators is so funny to me like this is our starting lineup

katniss: i go to a place and do a thing using a skill. also everyone hates me. oh you want to know more about myself? here are four straight paragraphs just describing food instead.

haymitch: so the baker’s in love with my best friends girl and my girlfriend’s uncle is gay and secretly dating the town window-fixer and she’s actually related to lucy gray and has beef with the mayors daughter who bullied me and her social security number is—

snow: everyone here is UGLY and OBNOXIOUS and TACKY and I Am God.

things overheard in wayne manor

—————

jason: ok, don’t panic, just tell me how you were doing it before

duke: well dick told me i should—

jason: now see we’ve already found the problem

—————

tim: i can’t believe this, you’re being homophobic

damian: i am not, i merely stated that leaving such a position as robin for a man is pathetic

tim: see—

damian: a civilian at that

steph: well he’s got a point there, you could have at least went for kon

—————

babs: it’s not slander if it’s true

bruce: that’s not the point, you can’t keep leaking things about lex hating superman because he refuses to pay child support

babs: well maybe if clark coughed it up we wouldn’t all be in this situation would we

—————

dick: oh so you’re calling me fat. okay. just say you hate me and go already

alfred: master dick, it is just that you are no longer 80 pounds and i’m afraid the chandelier simply cannot handle it

—————

steph: why are you hiding up there?

jason: dickwad’s holding another intervention

steph: …is this because of all those creepy messages you’ve been writing on the bathroom mirrors while we’re in the showers?

jason: ‘someone’ allegedly ‘lightly implied’ to duke that it was a ghost and sent him down a conspiracy spiral. i think he and tim single-handedly bought out joanne’s red yarn

steph: oh that’s what that last intervention was about—

—————

duke: …so there’s this thing called a workers union, and technically robin is— bruce: please stop, i can already feel the headache forming

jason: hang on, let’s hear him out

—————

dick: i don’t care if it’s for the persona b, if another one of the teen titans sends me pics of you dancing half-naked at the iceberg lounge i’m gonna get jason to blow the place up—

—————

damian: i do not see the problem here

duke: dude damian: it was for everyone’s benefit. sleep deprivation makes for a weak constitution and i refuse to patrol with such a liability

duke: that doesn’t mean you can shoot tim with ma kent’s horse tranquilizers—

—————

cass: i’m with tim

dick: that’s not fair you’re always with tim

tim: yeah cause i’m her favorite

cass: …i pick steph now

steph: fuck yeah

dick: wait where do i rank?

jason: real question is if you make the list at all

—————

tim: you can’t keep making that joke in public

steph: oh booo

tim: the last time you did it vicki vale published that i was a deadbeat teen dad, bruce almost had an aneurysm

steph: …well

tim: the kid wasn’t mine—stop doing this

steph: aw c’mon you used to joke about it

tim: yeah and the one time i tried dick fell off a roof during patrol, so

—————

bruce: it really could’ve been worse. at least damian didn’t leave lasting damage

alfred: i think you’ve been spending too much time with ms. kyle and her…standards of behavior

bruce: honestly i think this is jason’s doing

and what is mamdani’s plan for dealing with the blatant homoeroticism taking over san jose hockey—first whatever the hell is going on with those two and now a pwhl team too? just gay and greedy over there.

[modernmusess]

coriolanus snow fumbled both of his latin baddie situationships and decided to make it everyone else’s problem for the next seven fucking decades what a whiny loser

[modernmusess]

i loved obsession’s emphasis on accountability and the fact that at every opportunity bear chooses to take none. he constantly chooses to absolve himself of blame, of consequences. he rejects ian’s implication that he’s taking advantage of nikki, he continually ignores nikki’s breaks where it’s clear she wants nothing to do with him— asking to be put out of her misery—and instead of feeling guilt or shame he’s offended. by the time he does start to feel guilty he passes that off too, blaming the people who sold the wish, and even his own misunderstanding, hiding behind his lack of ill-intention— nothing that he can be considered directly responsible for.

bear wants complete worship, a pet-like devotion, but not the responsibility that comes with it. he neglects his grandmothers cat resulting in its death, he wants nikki to be entirely dependent on him but can’t handle being that level of dependable for her. even in his method of breaking the wish, he can’t go through with it using the gun, and has to do it via pills-something more passive, because at his core bear is nothing more than a coward

this is blatant erasure and discrimination against the real macklin celebrini who should clearly be allowed in the stanley pup on his own merit just look at him

[modernmusess]

alabama barker reposting a willmack edit to casual is so fucking funny like girl what are you doing over here

[modernmusess]

[modernmusess]

haymitch in cf when katniss pulls up her list of allies and it’s just every person he’s ever known

[modernmusess]

some random training staff: haha mack’s back at it with the ipad again, always going over game tape, right bud?

mack, staring at tan beefy will on the charity softball and stanley pup livestreams with the intensity of a thousand burning suns: mhm

[modernmusess]

i just know that andrew lets sir and king sit shotgun in the maserati and aaron is left absolutely fuming in the backseat

[modernmusess]

and when kevins books come out and it’s just 300 pages of pure exy with no character observations or plot, then what?

[modernmusess]

and the stickgate saga continues

first a smith sjs stick at bu, his rival school, and now apparently mack’s canada stick on display in the home of quintessential all-american boy will smith hockey??
