POV you pull up to the self loathing competition and this guy is your opponent wyd

It’s all fun and games laughing about Haymitch over sharing and Katniss under sharing in comparison until you realize Haymitch is trying to remember all the fine details of everyone he will never see again and Katniss is trying to protect her remaining autonomy by keeping those details private

The difference in their trauma responses being shown from the very start of their narratives guts me

when your circle small but y’all doomed by the narrative

Bravo also to Robert Eggers for probably the least bad depiction of Transylvania in Western vampire cinematic history:

1. Having actual Romanian actors doing the dialogue in Romanian. You'd think this is a low bar to clear but nope.

2. High quality costume design that looks pretty accurate to 19th century Romanian and Roma peasantry, even down to specific braided hairstyles from the Transylvanian region.

3. Depiction of Roma people but refrains from having them as some typical Hollywood exoticizing role like a magical fortune teller etc. They're in like half a scene, just chilling and playing music in front of an inn.

4. Use of the word "strigoi" which are actual spirits in Romanian folklore, unlike the term "vampire" which didn't exist in Romania.

5. Sorry to the Nosferatu moustache haters, but a Romanian nobleman would have had that exact facial hair.

6. Depiction of religion (nuns, churches) that actually looks like Eastern Orthodoxy and not some vaguely spooky goth Christianity.

Today when I opened tumblr I wasn't ready to find a compatriot who quotes such a beautiful song as La Cura 🥲🫶

There's this Italian song, that I personally love with my whole heart, the describes perfectly every couple of the Shadowhunters Chronicles. Not just married couples, even patabatai.

Supererò le correnti gravitazionali (I will overcome the gravitational currents)

Lo spazio e la luce per non farti invecchiare (space and light to keep you from growing old)

Ti guarirò da tutte le malattie (I will cure you from every disease)

Perchè sei un essere speciale (Because you're a special being)

Ed io avrò cura di te (And I will take care of you)

the imagery in this part of the ep was actually insane like this is genuinely beautiful
