Comments on tiktoks that had me balling all over again:

(Above: Talking about Mags, Beetee, and Wiress who aligned with Katniss)

(Below: I think it's been said before I need people to be reminded of it:)

Just. Diabolical 😭

“and while lenore dove will forever be my true love, louella is my one and only sweetheart.”

that line hits so hard when you realize how quickly he was calling katniss sweetheart. through katniss’ eyes, it seemed insincere at first, almost like haymitch was mocking her. but now we truly know haymitch wouldn’t just throw that around. he truly cared for her from the start.

of course haymitch cares for her. she’s the daughter of his best friend he had to drive away just so snow won’t target him and his wife 😭

…and in away, katniss being born is the product of that sacrifice. i am not ok 😭

how do y’all think haymitch felt when katniss came back to him all “i want wiress, beetee, and mags as allies” in catching fire? hand-picking his two and a half men(tors)!!

“of course you do” as his response now means so much more bc he’s not just exasperated he’s like “you really are me with a braid”

I have just recently finished reading “The Fallout”. And I constantly think about it. I can’t help but overthink Hermione’s overthinking regarding her relationship with Draco.

And you know what?

I would give EVERYTHING to hear Draco’s POV.

Just a snippet.

Just the day 1490 that features the “war whore” conversation.

I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HE WAS THINKING!!!!!!

Ive been researching motivation and turns out there's decades worth of research saying extrinsic motivation (work for rewards) doesnt work in the long term and actively murders your intrinsic motivation (work enjoyable bc u like it) in a task, and that for creative tasks it's got a specially bad effect so like... now i get what people mean on the write for yourself front, setting yourself doable challenges and enjoying the task itself seems to be what builds up long lasting motivation

That’s exactly what it’s all about.

The problem with the phrase “write for yourself” is that it’s shorthand for so much more than that.

write to amuse yourself, because you are your own best audience

write to soothe yourself by giving a character the chance to do or experience something that you’re missing in your own life

write to excite yourself - have a thrilling adventure or kinky sex. Be a hero. be a villain. All from the safety of your home.

write to express yourself, slowly and with the ability to think about which are the right words

write to improve yourself by experimenting with genres or learning new techniques - or just getting better at grammar or spelling or upping your typing speed

write to indulge yourself in exactly the kind of story you wish existed in the world, with all of your favourite characters doing all of your favourite things

write to challenge yourself with a new word count or by writing every day or by finishing a story with 30+ chapters

Write because you love to write and keep writing, even if no one else cares. Because you care, and you’re the most important person you know.

I think like, the death of Vine and Rabbit, Wikipedia constantly needing to beg for money, Discord depending so heavily on venture capital, Facebook turning towards spying on users to generate a return on all the venture capital that got them started, Adobe creative suite turning into a subscription rather than a single product you buy, the strangulation of streaming entertainment as every company pulls their content and makes it exclusive to their service, are all great examples of how like, it really doesn't matter if something is legitimately useful, efficient, or beloved, it is next to impossible for a service to exist if it doesn't make shareholders increasing amounts of money year after year. Which may seem like a "no duh" type of statement, but it's a very simple window into how the profit motive makes products and services worse, not better. And how that's not just a matter of certain companies or ceos being bad and greedy on an individual level, but is an inescapable factor of an economy where existence is dependent on generating capital.
