Isn’t it wild that we’re all facing the same problem right now?
Like, other big events were concerning, and despite being aware of it and maybe trying to help in some way, only a small portion of people were directly affected.
Fires, politics, crimes (all three at once...), disasters, attacks... but somewhere someone didn’t care. The effects didn’t affect them. They had to look out for themselves and a destroyed building across the world that they would never see anyway didn’t mean anything to them. As awful as some things were, there were people whose lives were not changed.
But this. Everyone is affected. Everyone in the world.
Not everyone will get sick. Not everyone will know someone who got sick. Not everyone gets to work from home. Not everyone will lose their job. Not everyone is an essential worker. Not everyone is hoarding supplies. Not everyone is lacking supplies. Not everyone is being quarantined.
But in some way, everyone’s lives are upset by this happening right now. Everyone in the world. It’s scary, yeah, but it’s also humbling. I feel like it should make a lot of people realize how similar we all really are. How small the world really is.
Why I like them - I think Gale has principles and priorities and he's very determined and doesn't buy any Capitol bullshit so that's pretty neat
Why I don’t - I don't particularly dislike Gale so uh idk. I asked my friend who's on skype with me right now what she thinks, but she said stuff about the MJ book, and I should reread it before I could agree or disagree with her tbh
Favorite episode (scene if movie) - umm, maybe the one in the beginning of THG? Where he says something like "what if everyone just stopped watching?" Or something from Mockingjay, but I should rewatch it again to choose.
Favorite season/movie - Mockingjay probably. More screentime.
Favorite line - The first one I thought of was "Katniss, there's no District 12" because it's so powerful. (I'm sure there are better ones, though)
Favorite outfit - Uh, I haven't paid attention to this really.
OTP - I don't have one.
Brotp - Katniss
Head Canon - something like this?
Unpopular opinion - um. I don't really have incredibly strong feelings towards Gale. I like him. A lot of people seem to either hate him or love him like there's no choice in between.
A wish - that he was happy, I guess(?)
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen - Well, the book series is over, so I don't know if anything will be added to canon anyway.
5 words to best describe them - Determined, rebellious (lol), a firm believer of what's right, brave, loyal

anyway...
pick your five favorite shows
orphan black
orange is the new black
brooklyn nine-nine (I just chose three favorite shows that are airing)
doctor who
i'll pick ouat as the fifth one because of reasons
1. Who is your favorite character in 2?
Sophiaaaaa ♥
2. Who is your least favorite character in 1?
um... I don't like Leekie.. or um Paul.. um, I don't know. I don't hate anyone with a burning passion.
3. What’s your favorite episode of 4?
JOURNEY'S END. Also, the Christmas Invasion.
4. What’s your favorite season of 5?
GOOD OLD SEASON ONE
5. What’s your favorite relationship in 3?
Lately I've been feeling this Amy x Terry friendship???? And Jake and Boyle friendship. I don't know, I like everyone's scenes with everyone. (I kinda ship Jake and Amy but it's not an otp or anything sooo.)
6. Who is your anti-relationship in 1?
uhhhh. sarah and vic and sarah and paul?? Idk??
7. How long have you watched 4?
I started Doctor Who in 2012, so not as long as many others, I know :D
8. How did you become interested in 3?
tumblr had a really great post about how and why Brooklyn Nine-Nine is good at representation and breaking stereotypes and how it's smart and funny, so I was like yeah I could use a show like that right now
9. Who is your favorite actor in 2?
THEY ARE ALL GREAT???????? (I can't stop yelling. Sorry.)
10. Which show do you prefer 1, 4, or 5?
well.... orphan black is the only one of those three that always makes me happy with new episodes, but rtd era doctor who is my favorite thing ever, and ouat has the best fic writers ever so this is hard
11. Which show have you seen more episodes of? 1 or 3?
3, but only because there are more episodes of brooklyn nine-nine than orphan black :D
12. If you could be anyone from 4 who would you be?
oh my god... I'd actually maybe be Sarah Jane??? She did a lot of traveling with the Doctor, and then she solved stuff with kids and I find that relatable because I, too, could end up living alone in a similar situation and I get along with kids...
and because Sarah Jane Adventures was a kids' show, no one died almost ever, so it would be a win-win really.
13. How would you kill off your favorite character in 1?
Why the hell would I kill my favorite character off? (my favorites are Alison and Cosima, and by the looks of it, we'll find out soon how one of them is going to go, though.. -.-)
14. Would a 2/3 crossover work?
Orange is the New Black and Brooklyn Nine-Nine... It could work, yeah?? Technically?
15. Pair two characters in 2 that would make an unlikely, but strangely okay couple:
Idk, there are several queer ladies in that prison, I'm sure many of them could work something out.
16. Overall, which show has a better cast, 3 or 5?
Why do I have to pick between these two???? OUAT has done a fantastic job on casting really, all the characters related to each other look similar??? Plus the actors are (mostly) fantastic. But Brooklyn Nine-Nine is great representation-wise and has great actors as well... I give up. Both. Both is good.
17. Which show has a better soundtrack, 1, 4 or 5?
i know that it wouldn't be smart to give all the shippers free sweaters too (i mean there are a lot of us), but i'm just saying i wouldn't wanna wear any other sweater for a while if i got one
I hate I'm in a hurry because I'm going on a trip later today, but I might as well try to answer briefly.
They have both been treated really badly in their life, and I think they could help each other heal from that (and yes, I know that Regina and Snow's relationship and events before that were the reason why Emma had such a hard life, and I'm not trying to defend Regina other than up to the point where she deserves defending. That's another story).
Regina has always been told what to do, first used by her mother, then by Rumple. Emma doesn't have much choice now either because she's the Savior and she does what she's supposed to, although people expect her to do the right thing whereas Regina was quite the opposite to that when Rumple trained her. There's a certain symmetry there, and I think they balance each other in other ways as well.
Speaking of her being a Savior, who needs more saving than the (former) Evil Queen? That's fucking poetic, that makes sense, that would set everything right. I think Emma's come to understand Regina like no one else by this point, and she believes in the person Regina has become instead of what she once was at the darkest point of her life. And right now Regina needs someone to believe in her. Like in The Cricket Game (2x10), Emma's giving her a chance when others don't (let's not talk about the end of the episode now, though, too painful). Regina wasn't born evil, and she wants to be good again (I don't know what s4 brings, though, and I'm not sure if I want to know), and Emma sees that.
One of my favorite parts of s3 is when Regina gives Emma happy memories and a great life with Henry, which shows how much she has grown, and how deeply she has ended up caring for Emma as well (I don't even mean romantically. She cares about her. Period). They have HUGE potential (which could be used, but yeah...) to become more and develop a more complex relationship where they both grow and heal.
They have come such a long way from hating each other to something else. They have an understanding now. They could have a friendship, even. And I think that's beautiful.
Oh, and then there's another important thing, aka the most important thing to them both: Henry. They share a son (!!!!?????!!!!!) The sad thing is that if they were a het couple, no one would ever question the pairing. The birth parent and the adoptive parent of a same child have interesting chemistry and development. It would be the clearest endgame to exist on that show (well idk, I guess Snow and Charming is the most obvious one). It would happen.
But I don't think it ever will so I'll read fic instead and enjoy the pairing in other ways ok I really have to go, I hope I didn't forget any of the most important points bye.
All the people I ship romantically with this character: I don't. No time for that, plus she does fabulously on her own.
My non-romantic OTP for this character: Anna!! Sisters, yess.
My unpopular opinion about this character: Doesn't everyone love her??? I love her and Idk what I could say that would be unpopular I really can't think of anything that would be considered unpopular.
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: I suppose her having a happier childhood somehow?
How I feel about this character: Hmm, this is hard because I used to hate him when I was a kid, but at the end he grew up quite a lot and before that I just felt bad for him when I was reading Half-Blood Prince like damn??? And I like to think that he kept growing up more and became more aware and smart and that he didn't treat muggle-borns as unequal etc but I guess I can only guess. I also think that he did mature quite a bit because they greet each other in the epilogue, though.
All the people I ship romantically with this character: Drapple for the win. Nah, I guess I don't really?
My non-romantic OTP for this character: Wow, apparently I don't ship him a lot. I suppose I like he got to speaking terms with his old enemies in the end, though?
My unpopular opinion about this character: I don't ship him with Harry or Hermione (??? is that unpopular)
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: him apologizing for the mean stuff he did.
