"Why can't Trump be impeached" because the democrats don't control the house or the senate. "Why doesn't the Supreme Court stop him" well the lower courts are stopping him but he stacked the Supreme Court in his first term. "Why can't they do the 25th amendment" because that requires the president to be basically unconscious. "When will congress do something" probably in January when the new congress comes in if the democrats pick up a lot of seats in the midterms

lenore dove's fate was foreshadowed on haymitch's first day in the arena when the dove colored rabbit was the one to alert him of the poison there by consuming it before he could realize that it was poison. the dove colored rabbit.

[districtunrest]

Peeta muttering to himself that Katniss and Haymitch are "just alike" after spending one (1) week with them together is crazy actually

like he's already noticed, thought about, and decided this. and he's not just calling Katniss as sullen & intense as a reclusive grown man with a drinking (and a punching) problem - he's also calling Haymitch a big fake faker that acts like he's above his feelings but is very much not

Michael Rooker 🧒🏻🧒🏻 Merle Dixon

"I'm gonna give her blood. Mine goes with anybody. Merle used to make me sell it when I was a kid for money."

[angelwings-crossbowstrings]

Coming from a bit of a medical background, this makes me sad.

For him to sell it, that means Merle would have had to have known Daryl was O negative somehow beforehand.

They don’t just test your blood type for just any reason. What he said would mean that he was likely injured or sick enough at one point as a kid that a type and screen/type and cross was done in case of a transfusion being needed. Sometimes they do it for surgeries but not always.

Donating plasma or blood can only be done at 16 or 17 with parental consent. He said he was a kid. I doubt he meant that age, but he could have.

There may be other reasons, but these are the ones I know. And given his background, it seems more likely that Daryl was hospitalized for something.

Excuse me while I go cry in a corner.

So funny to read the training hall sections of Catching Fire knowing Finnick is specifically tasked with getting Katniss into an alliance. He follows her to the knot tying station, shows off his skills and jokes around, she gives him nothing and walks off. Finnick immediately goes to the archery station to wait for her since she'll surely want to come over and show off her best skill to posture or get back at him or just for fun. She doesnt, she steers well clear and instead gets chatting with Beetee and Wiress of all people and then at lunch says they're the only people she's found that she wants to ally with. Finnick takes this hit to his pride, realises he's getting nowhere, and comes up with a different strategy. He introduces Katniss to Mags and then leaves her alone.

i love that star wars comic where padmé's surviving handmaidens hold a last stand against vader but honestly if i were them i would have dedicated the rest of my life to the most comprehensive and inescapable fake haunting in the history of the galaxy. man should not be allowed two successive heartbeats without seeing his dead wife's face gazing soulfully at him across the room and slipping away before anyone sees. literally what else is the point of being a highly trained operative capable of perfectly imitating your best friend if not to torment her husband for decades after she's gone.

charlie kirk did deserve to die. he deserved the way in which he died. he died wearing a shirt that said freedom, and his last word was "violence". he believed that the 2nd amendment required the sacrifice of lives. he loved the weapon that killed him more than the safety of his own young children. i hope it wasn't an instant death. i hope that just for a second he understood what was happening, and i hope he died scared.

Hmm, I missed Daryl getting these very specific cuts on his face,

[anothertwdblog]

Don’t mind me.

I’m just thinking about how, growing up, Daryl must have lived in constant fear of his brother never coming back.

How living with a drug addict—someone constantly involved with gangs and all that—is scary as hell.

Like, Merle disappears from time to time, without telling him anything—not where, not why.

And Daryl waits. He waits for about a week before he starts looking for him. He checks bars, Merle’s favorite hunting spots, crackhouses. And when Merle isn’t in any of the usual places, that’s when Daryl’s anxiety really kicks in.

There’s only so many times you can report someone missing before the police stop taking you seriously.

“Fuck off, Dixon. If your brother doesn’t show up this time, it’ll probably be for the best.”

He answers the phone anxiously every time it rings—sometimes it’s the police calling him to the morgue, to see if he can identify an unclaimed body. He’s gotten really good at memorizing Merle’s features—he has to. Most of the time, they call him in to look at someone unrecognizable, deformed by drugs, by gunshots, or just by time.

“Do you know him?” they ask, like they’re not showing him a corpse.

And Daryl holds his breath while his heart pounds. He inspects the body, searching for Merle’s tattoos, scars, the shape of his nose—just a little too round, just like his.

“No,” he murmurs, without feeling any better. His heart still racing, lungs still tight. He has to keep looking. He can’t let his brother die like that—of an overdose in a dark alley, beaten to death and dumped like a dog in the trash.

Alone.

Maybe that’s what haunts Daryl the most—thinking about all the awful ways Merle could die, and all the things he tries to do to stop it, believing—hoping—that he can somehow change his brother’s fate.

And after all the anxiety, all the insomnia he goes through, Merle just shows up in the kitchen one random Tuesday. No explanation. No apology. Acting like he hasn’t been gone for months.

“Where’s my bow?”

“Where the fuck have you been?”

“I was with a friend, man. Can you just tell me where the hell you moved my bow?”

So yeah… I get why Daryl is so frustrated when he finally sees Merle dead. Because Merle did, in the end, die alone—victim of his own decisions. Just like Daryl always feared he would.

And maybe that’s also why he’s so obsessed with finding Rick.

Hate to be the nitpicky brit all the time but the long convoluted british name for the walkers didn't even make sense, all the cockney rhyming slang didn't add up even when you do understand what it means. We'd get straight to the point, call them something simple and mildly crass. Chunters or Mingers or something. Small groups would have an inside joke, they're Dave because of that guy from work who walks funny. Or a well hated politician. Americans have such an oddly whimsical view of us. Squid??

Me thinks that making everyone but Bruce all murder positive and murder happy is weird and against their characters.

You know me, I’m not one to stick to canon. I even joke about it. Key word: joke.

But it’s a little strange how people write that everyone is down to murder someone at the drop of a hat. No provocation

Like how people bring up how Dick killed the Joker, but leave out how he was having a mental breakdown bc of it, which is why Bruce brought the Joker back. Not because of his selfish wants or an inflated sense of self, and thinking he was morally superior to his son, as people portray it. They act like Dick was just itching to kill the Joker, and it wasn’t out of extreme emotional distress to multiple things going on (correct me if I’m wrong)

Even if Bruce didn’t personally revive the Joker, he would come back to life anyway because DC loves him being ‘the bad guy’.

And not a lot of people talk about how Bruce didn’t want to kill the Joker, but he was the ambassador of Iran (probably racist writing), and Superman stopped him from causing an international issue. But people don’t like writing about that (which I'm wondering why more people don't ever discuss it. Thinking it's because they hate Bruce bc they only bring up B reviving the Joker when they bash him and make everyone else hate him)

Or how Tim feels no remorse for the people he killed, setting off that bomb, and stuff

Or how Cass still wants to kill because she was an assassin (most likely rooted in racism)

They’ll use that same excuse for Damian, too (most likely rooted in racism)

There is immense grief in these two characters, who were forced to take the lives of people without truly having any other choice. They had no agency. I think they would have the strongest reasons to follow their own no-kill rule rather than anything else. They want to atone for the crimes they committed. May-haps it’s a lack of desire to get to know these two characters

Or how Alfred is going behind Bruce’s back and murdering people left and right with his shotgun, cause it’s ‘badass’

Then they’ll say Bruce is in the wrong for not wanting to kill people, and it’d be better if he did. Baby, he’s a volunteer. They’re all volunteers at the end of the day, and they should be allowed to not want to kill people. Yes, they fight crime, but they're literally just people.

The reason they became vigilantes in the first place is that they understand the sanctity of life and want to protect people. Why would they be murdering people as if it’s easy for them to take a human’s life?

Not to say that they haven’t taken lives, maybe, but people make it seem like they’re unaffected by doing something like that or even enjoy it. Like, it's the first thing they think of when things aren't going their way or when they meet a heinous bad guy.

I think people do badly want to separate the characters from Bruce and his morals that they mischaracterize them badly which is a shame.

I’m not gonna talk about Jason cause that’s a whole can of worms I’m not ready for

daryl urging glenn to forgive merle, despite the fact that merle quite literally physically tortured him, with, “did he say he was sorry yet ? because he is. he’s gonna make it right. […] just needs to be a little forgiveness is all.” tells us so much about daryl’s skewed perception of what kind of behavior is worth forgiving 🥲 the way he automatically knows merle is “sorry”, despite the fact that merle had no issue harming glenn in the moment, and would likely do it again, and to daryl’s perspective, possibly hadn’t even verbally apologized for it yet, says so much about the cycles daryl lived through with him at home.

merle making “mistakes”, hurting daryl, putting him in dangerous situations, repeating cycles, following their fathers footsteps- abusing him, and then being “sorry”, because he knows daryl will forgive him. because he’s all that daryl’s got.

no matter what merle does, all daryl knows to do next is forgive him. all he believes is that merle is “sorry”, and that daryl himself needs to be better equipped for the next time he makes a mistake
