“Just because they’re close doesn’t mean they’re in a relationship, stop sexualizing everything they do”

Then call them best friends, Becky. Say it. Say that Jimin and Jungkook are connected-at-the-hip-share-a-single-brain-cell-soulmate-level best friends. Just like Jimin and Tae, right? Say it.

Actually, be specific and call them the closest duo in Bangtan, because at a minimum that’s what they are. Like, if you don’t want to say they’re each other’s real life best friend (meaning outside of BTS), at least say that they are closer to each other than they are to any other member — because you can at least acknowledge that, right?

And if you’re so sure they’re “brothers” then celebrate it! Stop pretending it isn’t special, call it a bromance! Ooh and ah over it, like people do when married male actors have a public bromance. Call them the next Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, the next Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey. (Even if, rather than publicly roasting and joking with each other; they are more often than not sweetly supportive and flirtatiously complimentary…That’s fine, call them a CHEESY bromance).

But nobody will.

It’s either, “ALL SEVEN of them are so close and love each other like brothers” or “Jungkook has such a big crush on Namjoon 🤭” or “vmin are still the closest, they have a song about it!” or “Korean men have skinship in their friendships, shippers are so weird, stop projecting your fantasies” but it’s never “ah, well, season 2 of that soft little show? No one is surprised. As expected from the best friends who enlisted in the military under a rare, special Buddy system. Jikook are jikook. Of course they want to hang out together 24-7.”

People flood to the comments section to (very mildly, with much restraint) praise their bond, but NO ONE will call it the closest in the group, even though it objectively is. Well, no one but a subset of the fandom who immediately get called creeps and weirdos and fetishizers.

No one but shippers will acknowledge their closeness and it’s so obvious why:

Because if you acknowledge their closeness, if you do anything but minimize and ignore it, it starts to look a whole lot like something else.

And people are too homophobic to allow that.

Jungkook and Jimin enlisting together under a Buddy system that no other idols in the same group have ever used shows closeness.

Jungkook and Jimin filming not just one but TWO seasons of a travel show that primarily follows JUST the TWO of them (when they are part of a band of 7) shows CLOSENESS.

Jungkook going to Jimin’s house after a concert to cook him dinner and then the two of them going out the next day to presumably spend White Day together shows CLOSE. NESS.

Jungkook going live in 2023 every time Jimin left town, and mentioning Jimin relentlessly and making him flat out the entire topic of some of the lives shows that Jungkook thinks of him when he’s gone.

Jungkook complaining that he missed Jimin when they were both busy, Jungkook saying he wants to film travel shows with Jimin until they’re 50, Jimin mentioning Jungkook in the letters he posted while enlisted alongside him, Jungkook’s voice giggling from behind the camera while he films Jimin’s dance challenge for him…

Jimin saying if he could take one thing with him to a desert island it would be Jungkook. Jungkook saying if he was a girl he’d want to date a guy like Jimin. Jungkook showing up with a hickey Jimin gave him because they got drunk together and Jungkook wouldn’t stop spinning him in his arms. The same arms he proudly carried Jimin out of a concert with, while Jimin giggled and blushed.

Jason Momoa and Henry Cavill? Tom Holland and Jake Gylenhaal? Selena and Taylor? THEY COULD NEVER.

Everything jikook shows us points to a best-friendness of EPIC PROPORTIONS at the LEAST. They should be the best friend duo that gets talked about the MOST IN BANGTAN. They’re so close locals should know about it. Not Jimin and Hobi. Not Jimin and Taehyung. Not Hoseok and Yoongi. Not Yoongi and Namjoon. Not Jungkook and Jin. Not the maknae line. Jikook have lapped all of them, and they have for years, but ESPECIALLY in the last 3 years.

And in the last two weeks? In the last two/three WEEKS???

If Jungkook and Jimin were a man and a woman the events of the last two weeks would be a HARD LAUNCH, and EVERYONE KNOWS IT.

It is only — I repeat: ONLY — heteronormativity that keeps the majority of ARMY from assuming they are dating. That’s it. That’s literally the only reason anyone in the fandom is even arguing about what they are right now. (Well, that and rival ships, which at this point should really only be referred to as patched-together inflatable rafts).

Call them just best friends. I respect that take! Some people don’t see the romance and tension and affection that I see, and that’s cool! Call them the best of friends.

But for the love of god stop minimizing their closeness. Stop pretending they treat anyone else in the band the way they treat each other. Stop pretending that they’re not choosing each other over and over and over again.

And don’t call them fake, or forced, unless you want to talk about the fact that everything we see about them is official content. Not unless you want to pry open the can of worms that is your parasocial relationship with them and acknowledge the hard truth that you actually don’t know either of them at all.

But one thing we know? They know each other. Like. Reaaaaallly well.

you're not your weight or height or skin color or hair color/length or your likes and dislikes, you're you and you've yet to discover just how complex and yet simple that actually is; there's just one you in all of the universe, there isn't a soul out there with the same DNA structure as yours, you're unique and special and so loved and you should cherish that

A safe reminder, just in case svtfoe’s team again put the blame on the MHC

Yeah.... since in this last season (and partially 3rd season), the team behind the show has been putting almost every single “evil” stuff on the MHC shoulders... I want to leave this here with a probably “I told you so” message. The ones behind this wars, racism and stuff are not the MHC by default.... the ones behind that are The Queens of the Mewmans. Since their creation by Glossaryck the MHC members take care of the stuff they were created for, and also serve and help the Queens of Mewni. The funny thing here is that after 5-6 generations of queens whose’s agendas were to kill monsters and take their lands (I think from all the queens just some didn’t do this... like 3?), it is safe to assume that the public with some logic on their side will point out  that star and eclipsa are simply paying in life the mistakes of their ancestors.... BUT it’s a children’s show, so, instead of doing that... they are changing it to avoid that the logic thought make their own families be the responsible of this issues. How? By putting the MHC as the old fashioned political racist ones that want monsters off the mewni kingdom’s lands... rejecting eclipsa, globgor and meteora with no better argument than “it was the right thing to do back 300 years ago despite it was evil”. Now if you think it twice... yep, back in those days they had a literal war proclamation in the form of a baby... and even... for that baby things like civil wars in both sides could have ignited, be it monsters or mewmans... and must probably the allies of the mewni kingdom would have left them to their luck and broke those alliances, cause the reason to ally was to fight together against the monsters.... which had ended just some years ago. So.... yeah, in those times what they did was right despite it was evil, but now... times changed, and monsters and mewmans are trying to live together in peace and the MHC for some reason can’t actually see that (NOTE: in my opinion glossaryck is behind all of this “eclipsa globgor and meteora surviving those times”, cause they were conveniently put in stasis, or survived through drain-life magic for better times instead of... you know, being killed). Now.... following all that train of thought that the show is taking... it’s not that hard to think that probably they will change the necessary stuff and make the MHC to be the ones behind the sword, the solarian soldiers and all that stuff (and not Solaria), cause that way, they put the queens of mewni in the good spot and the MHC in the evil spot... then, every little girl and blind fan watching the show can be happy with it, saying that star is awesome, the righteous, a clean past, and all that crap... and the real evil ones were the others. If the episode of the Tavern at the end of the multiverse is again a sailor moon reference I’m gonna laugh at this show, cause few noticed the “galaxy cauldron” in battle for mewni. Toddles!

If by “Love Triangle”, you mean completely steal and be undoubtedly the better option, Im all up for it. I mean, it’s not like she is a MAJOR character and both even became foster parents at one point.

Honestly tho, I don’t wanna see any love triangle of the sort.

It's called NOT SLEEPING. You should try it.

// I really wanna talk about Fen. So I will.

So, I always had trouble deciding Fen's involvement with magic. Spellcasting was almost always out of the question (almost, the idea of having a cantrip or two played in my head and was even a thing during his first appearance), but most importantly, I couldn't decide how much magic should be involved in his blacksmithing.

Could he make magic items? Could he apply runes to them? Should he only be a simple, metal focused blacksmith? Should he apply his earthen dragon powers to his creations but just that?

And if so, does he still know about magic? Can he understand and identify the properties of a magic blade if he finds one?

It's been a lot of thought and a lot of ideas and even now I'm not fully certain what path to follow on this.

What is certain is that Ferenir has a natural connection to rock, stone and metal. I may call his powers 'earthen' often, because the themes tend to overlap, but not always, and it's not accurate. Ferenir is much more of a rock dragon than an earth one, if a distinction needs to be made.

And I think that what he enjoys is taking that stone or metal and forming them into creations, bringing them to life. I don't think he particularly likes or has fun making a sword that can spark lightning with a runic enchantment. That has nothing to do with the metal itself, and it doesn't really connect with him.

'Magic' is a rather strange word to begin with, as it is used to describe anything that is beyond the limits of our real world. In Song of Fire and Ice, Valyrian steel is treated as 'magical', although it has no 'magical' properties other than being extraordinary good and strong, and 'dragon glass' is, well, just obsidian.

The more I think about it, the more I come to the conclusion that Ferenir just likes stones, metals and interesting materials. Whether they are simple and mundane, like iron or steel, or fancy and rare, like mithral, adamantine or more, he is more than happy to work with them. And any 'magical properties' of the finished product are to arrive only by the materials themselves or the process itself.

An example is adamantine equipment in bg3, which has extraordinary properties just by material alone, without any magical enhancement on it.

All in all, I am now leaning that Ferenir's understanding and involvement with magic does not go beyond his encounters and experiences. He doesn't use runes and he doesn't enhance his creations with some special dragon magic of his own either.

He just really loves good, traditional blacksmithing. And he is good at it.

Thoughts on Polyamorous Relationships (and life).

So, I don’t know why, but I thought it might be good for me to write out my thoughts on this. 

For a bit of context, my partner and I about a year ago went into an Open Relationship. It was pretty good initially but after a while I think that the sex caused a bit too much of a void between us. For me I separate sex and love quite distinctly but for my partner it wasn’t that simple. Neither view on that is wrong I feel, but ultimately we had to respect that, for our relationship to stay strong we would have to go back to being monogamous. 

It wasn’t that simple and I was a bit of an idiot, sleeping with with someone else around the time we agreed to de-escalate things, but we got there in the end. Shortly after that both us ended up going home with a close friend of ours which manifested into a romantic 3-way relationship. Whoops! 

In my head I had kind of always wanted to reach something like this. I don’t believe you can love a single person for 90 years or so and that it is totally fair to feel romantic or sexual feelings towards others. How you square that up comes down to your individual relationship with your partner. So to me, this was an awesome evolution of our relationship that we could love multiple partners together.

As of now I am writing myself up as the big ol’ liberal out of the two of us, but after about 3 months of this Poly relationship I did start experiencing pangs of jealousy. I think it’s tied more broadly to our relationship with my friend, i’d known him for years so it was quite jarring to suddenly be dating him. 

Eventually this culminated in me not wanting to be sexually involved with him anymore, which didn’t go down well (mainly due to how I handled it). Yet over an awkward couple of weeks all 3 of us started to talk things through. It became apparent that I did love him and my partner, but I didn’t see it ‘equally’. in other words I could love my partner with all my heart but I couldn’t provide that same love to our friend. However my partner could and whilst i didn’t love my friend to that extent, I was happy with us sharing our lives together. 

So now, some 5 months later, the 3 of us live together, we’ve got through the rough patch and now I get a best friend and a loving partner to be with, whilst my partner has two men in his life. And it’s pretty nice. 

I won’t lie, it’s a bit strange, I don’t think I could easily explain the situation to most people. I’ve always pictured myself as a poly individual, but when it comes down to it though I can separate love from sex (in the open sense) I can’t romantically love more than one partner. However this could all change, I could meet someone else who makes me question that, or I could just go back to being monogamous with my partner. We’ve spoken about that being our end goal in 1/2 years. 

In summary, love is a complicated mother fucker. I’ve been in an open relationship, a poly relationship and, gosh whatever this currently is. And I’m sure it will change a few more times before it settles. But what matters is that you’re happy no matter what your relationship style is. So long as you, your partner and anyone else involved is happy, then don’t question it or let others judge you. 

That can be difficult, but I think that is what matters most. And that is certainly what i’ve learnt so far from this romantically crazy couple of years.

💭 Thoughts and Questions 💭

Content: My thoughts on the backlash to the JITB physical release. This is rather long.

It feels necessary to preface this with I LOVE Jung Hoseok. I’m a fan. His solo release may damn well be my favorite of Ch. 2 so far. None of my thoughts are a criticism of him, moreso criticisms of the backlash to the physical release…

So, I’m trying to keep up with the drama surrounding the JITB physical release but maybe I’m just too out of the loop to understand?

I don’t buy physical copies (of almost anything). It’s just not a part of my fandom experience for any fandom I belong to. Hasn’t been for years, since most of the world and my household went digital. So maybe that’s why I didn’t get the uproar originally when everyone wanted a physical album, but I mostly ignored it. Now I see a lot of people chastising those who wanted a physical album (and apparently caused enough of a ruckus to get one) and I’m not getting things again.

Perhaps it’s because I work for a B2C (business to consumer) corporation and I’ve been in marketing for a decade, but to me this seems like a normal occurrence? That is: 1) customers want/like something/ a feature they’ve come to expect. 2) business doesn’t quite realize or foresee how much their customers like said feature. 3) business releases a version of their product without said feature, to switch things up or for budgetary reasons or whatever. 4) customers go “hey what the hell, where’s that feature we like?!” and business is forced to 5) step back, reevaluate, and decide whether to stick with their original rollout or make a change to meet the demands and re-release the product with the feature that was missing.

Does that make sense? Idk… I guess I’m probably over-simplifying it, since one of the differences between the products released by a musician/idol and those released by a business is that there’s a lot of personal creativity and agency in the idol’s release. So criticism of it can come off like disrespect/distrust/hate for the artist themself. However, I would like to note that a great deal of creativity and passion goes into many, many products, and just because a large business produces them doesn’t mean that a lot of individual artists and creators and businesspeople weren’t behind the scenes, busting their asses only to be disappointed when they see the consumer reactions, which are oftentimes not as open to innovation and change as the artists were hoping. They experience that pain too, they’re just not precious, beloved idols so nobody really takes it upon themselves to defend them, and they pretty much only have their partners and work friends to mope to about it over drinks at happy hour.

And that brings up another interesting point; people seem to be defending Hobi on the basis that any ARMY who demanded a physical album are questioning his creativity/validity as an artist and making him feel bad and in general being shitty, entitled, ungrateful fans. In other words, they’re defending him as a creative person, not as a business person. Cause it could be argued that not releasing a physical album was, in hindsight, just not a great business decision. And he realized that later on, and, like his letter said, had to decide whether he wanted to stay the course or make a “better late than never” change.

[sidenote: I read the translation in its entirety, and I’m not seeing the agonizing heartbreak that others seem to be seeing? I’m seeing the honest explanation of a creative who made a bold move and is realizing — with some disappointment — that his audience wasn’t as appreciative as he hoped they’d be, and he’s making a course correction…? But maybe I’m too steeped in the corporate world to see this as the soul-wrenching sob story it apparently is??]

The reason I think it’s interesting that people are defending him primarily as a creative person and not a business person is that a few weeks back my timeline was FULL of ARMY’s mocking and side-eyeing you know who — Doja Cat.

She made waves (again…) for essentially saying she didn’t “love” her fans cause she doesn’t know them. And my TL was flooded with people smugly saying “it’s just a bad business decision to alienate your fans like that” while simultaneously sharing clips of BTS and their very demonstrative love for ARMY while gloating “can’t relate 😇”. Which begs the question — are BTS’s expressions of love for ARMY personal, or are they just good business?

I’m not saying that to be cynical, I’m saying it because Doja Cat (and I’m not an apologist for her by any means, but it’s a timely reference) was apparently a foolish businesswoman for making statements that made her fans mad. And Hobi is apparently a poor, wounded creative soul for making a decision that made his fans mad…?

Now, making inflammatory statements like “I don’t know those ppl” when referring to your loyal fans and not releasing a physical version of an album are two WILDLY different things and I understand that. I am not trying to conflate the two, more just noticing when and how we, as a fandom, choose to refer to famous musicians as “businesspeople” and when we don’t. When Doja spurns her fans, it’s a dumb business move. When BTS says they love their fans, it’s because they’re super duper sweethearts who love us forever. When Hobi makes a call for his album that a lot of fans disagree with, voicing that disagreement is suddenly hate and harassment for the artist you’re supposed to love, rather than consumer backlash.

I say this not having seen the harassment myself, but I also didn’t look for it. I saw people expressing disappointment, frustration, even that classic paranoia that all ARMY seem to have these days (“he’s being mistreated!”). So if there were genuine threats, hate, and vile behavior that crossed the line (and sadly, in this fandom, there probably was) then I think calling that out and saying “WTF is wrong with you people?!?!” is more than justified.

But when I see people scold, lecture, and attack others for clamoring for a physical album and being overjoyed when their cries were answered, I just think…. You must not work in the consumer goods industry. Cause this shit isn’t that unusual. 🤷‍♀️

Tell me how I’m wrong? I’m totally open to respectfully chatting. Just kinda had to get it out of my head.

Have you ever read a book you were too young to read?

So I just finished up The Time Machine by H.G Wells. This was the second time I've read it. Why did I decide to reread it? The first time I read it was when I was in sixth grade. I was barely 12 at the time. I didn't understand the language that Wells was using. Heck, I could barely even comprehend what was going on in the story. All I knew was that some guy travelled into the future. I didn't understand the significance of the next or what he was trying to say about anything. Every time someone brought up that book my immediate response was "I hate that book". I didn't like it because I didn't understand it. 

Now 6 years later, I read a lot more and my understanding of the world and literature has broadened. I can appreciate the story of The Time Machine, for Wells tells a fantastic story that I thoroughly enjoyed this time around. He talks about the vastness of the universe and time. Humanity will change and will probably become extinct, but the world will move on. To quote the Jurassic Park movie "Life will find a way".

What I really enjoyed about this piece of work was the fact that it was written in 1895. That was over 100 years ago you guys. OVER 100 YEARS AGO AND THIS BOOK IS STILL BEING SOLD IN STORES!!!!!!!!! In a way, H.G. Wells himself has travelled time. Maybe The Time Traveller is traveling through time at constant speed in the form of words. Maybe that is his time machine. 

So was I too young at the age of 12 to comprehend any of this? I think so. I can fully appreciate this work of art for what it is. Maybe in a few years I will reread it and have a different kind of epiphany.  

So have any of you guys ever read a book you think you were just too young to understand? 

[steel-and-fire]

//I've been thinking of some ways to fix up some more parts of Ferenir's background that I did not like too much, and I think I actually ended up coming closer to his original story.

First of all, I've said it before, but, Ferenir's dragon blood is muddled. Much like Tieflings, Aasimar, Genasi or etc, they get some traits from their mixed blood, maybe an inclination towards something, but it will rarely ever be so extra ordinary that it will affect their growth forward.

A Tiefling bard and an elf bard have the same ceiling, it's just due to their strongly charismatic nature, that Tieflings make bards easier than elves do.

Similarly, Ferenir has an inclination because of his dragon blood, he is tough and strong and durable, but it's not like he has a big difference from a tough dwarven warrior for example. It's just that among humans, due to his dragon blood, he is from the tough ones. (literally, since his origin feat in dnd is Tough, hehe).

Now, on to the story itself, wanting to preserve this aspect of him as best as possible, I ended up going back to his original story.

Ferenir's mother worked as a maid for the royal family of a country that is famous for their draconic blood. It is muddled through the eons, and it is more so a sign of royalty than substantially power.....outside of how strong each individual person is, at the very least.

But....his mother got pregnant, and bastards aren't easily tolerated, as they can prove eventual threats to the throne. As a result, she was sent away with some money, settling into the small village where Ferenir and his sister were born as twins. There she opened a tavern, and raised her children.

That was until Ferenirs draconic blood awakened, revealing his royal blood. As a result of that and his growing fame as a hero of the area....assassins were sent after him.

Ferenir knows the reason, and he does not take kindly to be forced to fight for his life and self exile for his survival for the 'sin' of his birth...

Avengers/Champions - World’s Collide

I wanted to like this.  I really did.  But it was just so bad.  It’s what got me to consider dropping Avengers altogether.

...this isn’t a review of the arc, so much as it’s a rant about why I’m so put out by Marvel at all lately.

I’ve complained left and right about Waid’s Avengers book, and dropped Champions altogether, long before they went through “changes” during Secret Empire.

...I think what it mostly comes down to is that I don’t really like any of these characters any more.  The concept behind Sam Wilson as the New/Current Cap was cool enough to get behind.  Jane Foster as Thor..?  Well...  Spider-man back on the team?  Yay!!  Hercules as the muscle..?  ...Well... okay...

I was lukewarm at best.  I never cared for the Vision, and I don’t give a Fuck about the young Wasp.

When Sam became the Falcon again...  It didn't feel right.  It was even addressed in one of the issues.  Sam tells Thor he wants her to lead, since her Hammer is more iconic than his lack of a shield.  She told him that’s stupid, and that he’s the true leader of the team.

And while that’s all well and good...  I always felt like this team was missing something.  Like... original roster people that I liked more.  Period.  That’s it.  You give me, Steve, or Iron Man, or even get Odinson back in there, and I’d probably be a Lot happier.  But oh well.  So be it...

As for the Champions.  I guess I liked the kids a lot better.  Adding Viv & The Amadeus Hulk to the mix was whatever for me, but their foes and overall message wasn’t reaching me.  I’m sorry, but I just didn’t care about their war on Corporate America.

So that brings us to this story...  It was just all over the place.  I didn’t feel like it had any focus.  The Ultimate Earth was brought back again, [I’m presuming from Ewing’s story] and we were on a collision course with it.  On paper, this seemed like Illuminati shit.  I was excited and curious to see the whole group band together to try to stop this.

But what we got was a bunch of petty in-fighting.  Kids trying to be adults and yelling at their Elders for giving orders, when they’re their own Man now.  I get it, but it didn’t land with me.  Too many cooks in the kitchen to get the job done right.

This was a major case with Viv, when something major went down with her character.  I didn’t necessarily care about this development, but the High Evolutionary did something to her inner-chemistry and actually made her human in the middle of this arc.

Everything else was a cluster fuck, though.  There was a moment near the end, where it looked like Viv made a sacrifice in order for everyone to survive.  But then, it turned out that she survived too, and the outcome of Champions #15 was that there are Two Vivs now.  One that looks like the Android, and the other in a human form.  And they seem to say the same thing at the same time, which is all wonky to them.

....Yeah, I just don’t care any more.

This is my burn-out phase.  It’s why I don’t want to review Avengers any more.

I used to get so excited about these books.  This World’s Collide thing was so Hyped!  And it turned out to be this quick, almost-rushed feeling drab of... slop.

I don’t have time to delve into any further details, but I recall coming out of it unhappy, or not very impressed.

Now there’s a new campaign, where Avengers is gonna apparently go weekly, and FINALLY combine all of their teams into one unified book.  Uncanny Avengers, these guys, I guess Champions, Ewing's shitty shit, and even the cancelled Occupy Avengers team will be working together in something that promises to be a Final Adventure to End an Era.

...I don’t want to, but I will probably collect it.  I’ll certainly keep an eye on it.

And if it excites me.  You’ll be hearing from me.

Otherwise,  16 weeks from when it drops, maybe you should expect another rant like this.  Who knows.

I know I brought up that I don’t have time for Reviews, and truthfully, I really don’t.  But I also don’t know what else to do with this blog.  So maybe rants, and current questions with pictures of issues is the way to go.  A compromise to myself.

Who knows?  Is anyone reading this?  Does anybody care??

My thoughts on the Catching Fire movie

I saw it yesterday and it was a fantastic movie! To avoid spoilers, click the more to read my thoughts. 

I really enjoyed the movie adaption of Catching Fire, even if they left out a few things. The book was fantastic, don't get me wrong, but the screenplay of the movie just worked. 

They left out most of the controversy about District 13, like when Katniss meets the people going to 13 in the woods and the mockingjay in the corner of the footage from District 13. But again, if they had put that in the movie it would've added another 30 minutes to the movie. 

Some things I had a problem with:

- I wish they had focused a little more on the part where Peeta paints Rue and Katniss hangs a mannequin with Seneca Crane written on it. It was such a crucial part to letting the people at the capitol know that a storm is coming and Katniss knows of what they are doing. That part just kind of flew by. 

- Same thing with the pregnancy of Katniss. I guess it worked for a little bit but at least in the book Finnick reminds Katniss to calm down reminding her that she is "pregnant". Never in the movie does it come up again. Katniss is thrown off the spinning island and goes tumbling around in the water. I don't know if that would cause a miscarriage but it sure would't be good for a pregnant woman. 

But as with most cases, the good definitely out weight any of the bad, and as I said before, they can't fit everything in or the movie would be too long. I loved the script writing for this movie adaption! To anyone who saw the movie: DID YOU SEE THE LAST FACE JENNIFER LAWARENCE GAVE THE CAMERA? It was amazing! It said exactly what Katniss was thinking. "Everyone is gonna pay and the capitol's going down!" 

Effie Trinket. The actress Elizabeth Banks portrayed her fantastically. I think she was the best actress on set. Her facial expressions, carriage, and actions showed Effie from the book. The character development in her is the strongest I think. 

Last thing I gotta say: GO SEE THE MOVIE! 

[writeitonme-blog]

S#!T, got sardines on my hair :|

stupid fish…
