these two have a long history of making each other silently cry laugh across the table. A relevant example: when they are both in THE SAME SEATS in Unsleeping City as Ally incorrectly makes an Eddie Murphy reference. I absolutely adore them.

The winner of this episode is Vic, who clearly came up with the most viral idea and also didn’t have to do a thing about it.

This is, in fact, EVERYTHING

Is this anything

Brennan: Up next in the ring: The Max vs Van Chapman!

Siobhan and Murph: Noooo we don’t wanna fight each other!

Brennan: Oh you don’t wanna fight each other? You don’t wanna make my PVP dreams come true?

Brennan: Fine fight this guy 🦕

Emily has a singular ability to emotionally pummel me at the drop of a hat. It was so instantaneous. Brennan dropped the photograph of Ludmila and Emily crumbled. It was so sudden that the shock of her reaction hits like a tonne of bricks. We've seen Emily have really powerful emotional scenes before but there is usually more narrative build up within the scene and overall story to those moments of climax or catharsis, but that isn't what's happening here. This is raw and unresolved and at a moment where you don't expect it. In the middle of exploring a thread of the mystery, Marya is emotionally devastated like someone had shot her with a grief bullet. Spectacular.

I think someone has to have a very serious conversation with Brennan about why he seemed to be so intent on putting things in his pants on camera

can you imagine going to work, shoving a bacon breakfast sandwich down your pants in a bid to show your boss that you are giving your utmost best and he says sorry son not good enough we're going to need you to eat 200g of cheese

not to reblog my own post but…

I have a feeling Haymitch knew exactly whose name would get picked in the 75th reaping.

ok I just finished Sunrise on the reaping and I have a lot thoughts but this one is just strong in my brain rn

Honoring the dead

More than anything I think that’s an essential thread between all of the stories we’ve gotten from Suzanne Collins.

1. Katniss sings to rue as she dies and then half buried her in flowers before the hovercraft takes her body, honoring her with nature and beauty

2. Reaper take all of the dead bodies of the dead tributes and pulls them together, laying the flag of Panem, rebelling against the Capitol’s plan to just leave them to rot, honoring them with the respect the Capitol hadn’t and wouldn’t give them

3. Haymitch taking Louella and laying her at Snow’s feet instead of leaving her in the dust. Haymitch hiding underneath the willow tree to hold Lou Lou’s body as long as he can. Haymitch refusing to leave Maysilee’s body even as the hovercraft takes her away. In small moments of defiance and care, he honors them for what they are: human, children’s lives.

Suzanne Collins is a genius in her own right, these books are a masterpiece. It almost feels scary to read them in American today but here are. I hope to honor the lives around me in the way these fictional heroes do. Remember when you’re fighting for human rights that it’s not some obscure, political, complicated thing but it’s about human lives, human well being, human respect and care.
