Life is just a series of obstacles preventing you from reading a book.

The worst thing about Six of Crows it's that it's so amazing and so beautifully written but when I try to tell my friends about it without any spoiler it ends up like "Hum so it's basically a group of six teenagers and they all have special abilities and they get paid to break into the most guarded prison in the world to get someone out and save the world" and like, I hate this because Soc is SO MUCH MORE THAT THIS. Like, the fact that they get the prisoner out is probably one of the least interesting thing about the book but I can't say anything else without spoiling something AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Sirius: Regulus got arrested at 2 in the morning. Guess who he called?

Sirius: Oh, James? His fiancé, logical choice right? No.

Sirius: Oh? Then, me. His brother, the most obvious choice at this point! No.

Mary: I’m confused, who the fuck did he call then?

Sirius, pointing at Remus: Him. And they got maccies right fucking after!! Instead of letting James and I know!

Regulus, nodding: Brother-in-law.

Remus, nodding back: Brother-in-law.

me reading about the same two characters falling in love over and over again in new settings

timelesslords

thinking about how the hunger games were designed to prove that without society, order, government, someone to rule, we devolve into little more than animals, and how the games themselves prove over and over again that this is not true. We see it in every single game we witness.

Katniss placing flowers around Rue's body in the arena. Thresh sparing Katniss because she was kind to Rue, even though he was making it that much harder for himself to win.

Haymitch going back for Maysilee after hearing her scream even though their alliance had been broken. Haymitch holding her as she dies the same way Katniss did Rue.

Coral's "I can't have killed them all for nothing" when she realizes she's not going home. Lamina cutting down Marcus at great personal risk. And, my favorite moment in tbosas, Reaper collecting the bodies of his fellow tributes, his peers, even the ones who tried to kill him, into a pile. Taking the weapons from their hands. Closing their eyes and crossing their arms in the best approximation of a proper burial he can manage, covering them with the Capitol flag as a makeshift shroud.

The Games bring out the worst in people, yes. But despite the extreme circumstances, despite the exterior pressure of the Capitol, despite the fact that it could mean pain and heartbreak and death, it also shows that people have an enormous capacity for goodness. That even in a situation purposefully designed to make empathy impossible, people can't help but have it anyway.

Snow looks at the Games and all he can see is what's inside himself-- this pure animalistic drive to conquer and defeat. He kills and it feels good and he thinks that everyone else must feel that way too. He doesn't realize (maybe can't realize) that he is the exception, not the rule. He cannot see outside himself, outside his own warped perspective, to realize that the fact that people do show humanity in the games proves his entire worldview wrong.

WLW MEME: [6/9] tv characters – robin buckley (stranger things)

I’m having this problem where it’s like, I should stop talking. I have said everything I need to say. But then I guess I get nervous, and the words they just keep spilling out, and it’s like my brain is moving faster than my mouth, or rather, my mouth is moving faster than my brain. And it’s like I’m digging this hole for myself, and I want to stop digging, and I’m trying to stop digging, but I can’t. And I’m doing it right now, aren’t I?
