Do you think hijacked Peeta fell out of love with Katniss? Or did he hate her/was afraid of her but still loved her? Is post hijacked Peeta the same Peeta or a new person altogether? Thank you :)

@everlarkshipper

Hi! Thank you for your questions and I really appreciate you asking me for my opinion!! I do not think hijacked Peeta ever fell out of love with Katniss. I think that when he was hijacked, the Capitol just tapped into all the negative emotions inside Peeta's head and multiplied them towards Katniss, however his love for Katniss was still there, it was just hidden away/overpowered for some time. I don't think Peeta ever stopped loving Katniss, he just needed to find his way back to her.

And following this train of thought, post hijacked Peeta is still the same Peeta as before, however has gone through some unimaginable and devastating trauma which stays with a person. The experiences you have make up part of what you are, so while the hijacking greatly affected Peeta, I still believe he is that same boy who threw Katniss bread in the rain.

i think the reason im so unmoved by kimi antonelli and his success this year is that in his f1 career, there has been little to no struggle and that makes him fundamentally unrelatable to me. dont get me wrong, im completely astounded by his ability to perform on track (even if its helped by his luck and having the fastest car) but being the championship leader in his sophomore season is infinitely less compelling to me than his counterpart, george, who has clawed his way up from lower teammate and earned his spot at a top team only to be brushed off as automatic second seat to his seven time champion teammate but then when he finally has the opportunity to prove himself as a first seat driver at an incredibly fast team, hes pushed to the side by his prodigy teammate. george winning would be an amazing case of proving everyone wrong and being the best DESPITE the people hes been measured up again, DESPITE what people think and say about him, DESPITE every obstacle put in his way. winning in the face of adversity, of hardship, of extreme unluckiness, thats such a testament to keep trying, to continuing on, to getting up and getting closer when youve been pushed aside time and time again... is that not far more relatable to any regular person rather than being the best from the jump? i dont know. to me, it is.

George Russell having the female experience of being perceived as mildly annoying so people use that as an excuse to discount your accomplishments and commit to misunderstanding everything you do

[winblads]

honestly the whole russonelli fight says much more about george’s mentality than it does about kimi’s. it’s perfectly normal for kimi to feel the pressure as a first time championship leader fighting a teammate at a strong track of his, who has much more experience and skill in defending. but the important thing is george remaining calm and unfazed throughout radios and interviews, and leaving his aggression for fighting cleanly on track. and if that isn’t enough proof outside of results to have confidence in george’s ability to win a championship, then I don’t know what is.

superstar, oscar piastri

the internet thinks singer yn yl comes with too much public attention for oscar's private guy personality. but he doesn't mind being with a superstar. warnings: some hate comments. a/n: i had this idea for an oscar smau ages ago but i got overwhelmed trying to turn it into a full series and abandoned it. i found it again in my drafts the other day and decided to give it another chance as a oneshot. hope it turned out decent!! xx p.s: the song used is superestrella by aitana (:

Wolfstar Fic Recs Part 3:

Fanfiction: Of Memories and Milk Thievery

Author: moonymoment

This fanfiction owns the second chance romance trop! The perfect mix of angst, longing, pining, and bittersweet memory flashbacks. A modern muggle AU featuring Remus and Sirius as a divorced couple who are struggling in their post-divorce journey to co-parent their son Teddy, but eventually find their way back together. James, Lily, and Harry are in this story too and the author really focuses on the friendships and the familial bonds between the four adults as well as the adolescent friendship between Teddy and Harry, who are around the same age. The interactions and characterizations really show how deep their relationship is as one big happy family. This fanfiction owns my heart and literally had me kicking and giggling at some moments but it also made me tear up at others. This is a prime example of why I love the second chance romance trope so much because there's just something so wonderful and soul healing about two lovers who have drifted apart but ultimately find their way back together.

Rate: 10/10

Wolfstar Fic Recs Part 2:

Fanfiction: Stealing Harry

Author: copperbadge

In a turn of events where Sirius Black never goes to Azkaban Prison, he makes the decision to ‘steal’ Harry from the Dursleys and raises him as a dogfather should with help from his ‘best friend,’ the friendly neighborhood werewolf.

This is such a brilliant read! I recommend this fanfiction 100%! We get wolfstar and everything that comes along with it. Domestic tropes, co-parenting Harry, angsting over their ex-best friend, Peter Pettigrew, who turned traitor. Snape even makes an appearance here, except his personality is not half bad, I actually like his characterization here; like a grumpy old troll who is forced to socialize with two people who canonically almost *unalived* him when they were 16. One of the many things that I really liked about this fic was that Sirius and Remus took no shit from Dumbledore. Yes, they still saw Dumbledore as a venerable and prominent wizarding authority figure but they put their foot down when it came to Harry’s safety. Sirius and Remus trusted in their own instincts instead of being blindly loyal to Dumbledore and I absolutely live for that.

This should be physically published and on the shelves of every single bookstore.

Rate: 10/10!!

Mizu, femininity, and fallen sparrows

In my last post about Mizu and Akemi, I feel like I came across as overly critical of Mizu given that Mizu is a woman who - in her own words - has to live as a man in order to go down the path of revenge.

If she is ever discovered to be female by the wrong person, she will not only be unable to complete her quest, but there's a good chance that she'll be arrested or killed.

So it makes complete sense for Mizu to distance herself as much as possible from any behavior that she feels like would make someone question her sex.

I felt so indignant toward Mizu on my first couple watchthroughs for this moment. Why couldn't Mizu bribe the woman and her child's way into the city too? If Mizu is presenting as a man, couldn't she claim to be the woman's escort?

However, this moment makes things pretty clear. Mizu knows all too well the plight of women in her society. She knows it so well that she cannot risk ever finding herself back in their position again. She helps in what little way she can - without drawing attention to herself.

Mizu is not a hero and she is not one to make of herself a martyr - she will not set herself on fire to keep others warm. There's room to argue that Mizu shouldn't prioritize her quest over people's lives, but given the collateral damage Mizu can live with in almost every episode of season 1, Mizu is simply not operating under that kind of morality at this point. ("You don't know what I've done to reach you," Mizu tells Fowler.)

And while I still feel like Mizu has an obvious and established blind spot when it comes to Akemi because of their differences in station, such that Mizu's judgment of Akemi and actions in episode 5 are the result of prejudice rather than the result of Mizu's caution, I also want to establish that Mizu is just as caged as Akemi is, despite her technically having more freedom while living as a man.

Mizu can hide her mixed race identity some of the time, and she can hide her sex almost all of the time, but being able to operate outside of her society's strict rules for women does not mean she cannot see their plight.

It does not mean she doesn't hurt for them.

Back to Mizu and collateral damage, remember that sparrow?

While Mizu is breaking into Boss Hamata's manse, she gets startled by a bird and kills it on reflex. She then cradles it in her hands - much more tenderly than we've seen Mizu treat almost anything up to this point in the season:

She then puts it in its nest, with its unhatched eggs. Almost like she's trying to make the death look natural. Or like an accident.

You see where I'm going with this.

When Mizu kills Kinuyo, Mizu lingers in the moment, holding the body tenderly:

And btw a lot of stuff about this show hit me hard, but this remains the biggest gut punch of them all for me, Mizu holding that poor girl's body close, GOD

When Mizu arranges the "scene of the crime," Kinuyo's body is delicate, birdlike. And Mizu is so shaken afterward that she gets sloppy. She's horrified at this kill to the point that she can't bring herself to take another innocent life - the boy who rats her out.

MIZU'S ONE MOMENT OF SOFTNESS AND MERCY, COMING ON THE HEELS OF HER NEEDING TO KILL A GIRL TO SPARE HER THE WORST FATE THAT THIS RIGID SOCIETY HAS TO OFFER WOMEN, AND TO SPARE A BROTHEL FULL OF INNOCENT WOMEN WHO ARE THE CASTOFFS OF SOCIETY, NEARLY RESULTS IN ALL OF THEIR DEATHS

No wonder Mizu is as stoic and cold as she is.

And no wonder Mizu has no patience for Akemi whatsoever right before the terrible reveal and the fight breaks out:

Speaking of Akemi - guess who else is compared to a bird!

The plumage is more colorful, a bit flashier. But a bird is a bird.

And, uh

Yeah.

I like to think that Mizu killing the sparrow is not only foreshadowing for what she must do to Kinuyo, but is also a representation of the choice she makes on Akemi's behalf. She decides to cage the bird because she believes the bird is "better off." Better off caged than... dead.

But because Mizu doesn't know Akemi or her situation, she of course doesn't realize that the bird is fated to die if it is caged and sent back home.

Mizu is clearly not happy, or pleased, or satisfied by allowing Akemi to be dragged back to her father:

But softness and mercy haven't gotten Mizu anywhere good, recently.

There is so much tragedy layered into Mizu's character, and it includes the things she has to witness and the choices she makes - or believes she has to make - involving women, when she herself can skirt around a lot of what her society throws at women. Although, I do believe that it comes at the cost of a part of Mizu's soul.

After all, I'm gonna be haunted for the rest of this show by Mizu's very first prayer in episode 1:

"LET" her die. Because as Ringo points out, she doesn't "know how" to die.

Kind of like another bird in this show:
