During the most poor and homeless period of my life, I had a lot of people get angry with me because I spent $25 on Bath and Body Works candles during a sale. They couldn’t comprehend why the hell I would do that when I had been fighting for months to try and get us on our feet, afford food, and have an apartment to live in.

Those candles were placed beside wherever I slept that night. In the morning, I would move them and set them wherever I’d have to hang out. At one point I carried one around in my purse - one of those big honking 3-wick candles. I never lit them, but I’d open them and smell them a lot.

I credit that purchase with a lot of my drive that got me to where I am today. I had been working tirelessly, 15+ hour days with barely any reward, constantly on the phone or trying to deal with organizations and associations to “get help at”. It’d gone on for almost a year by the end of it, and I was so burnt out, to the point that I would shake 24/7. But I could get a bit of relief from my 3-wick “upper middle class lifestyle” candles. They represented my future goals, my home I wanted to decorate, and how I would one day not be in this mess anymore.

When we moved into the apartment, and our financial status improved, I burned those candles every single day. When they were empty, I cleaned them out, stuck labels on them, and they became the starting point of my really cute organization system I had ALWAYS planned to have.

So whenever I hear about someone very poor getting themselves a treat - maybe it’s Starbucks, maybe it’s a home deco item, maybe it’s a video game… I don’t judge them. I get it. I get that you can’t go without anything for that long without it making you go crazy. You need to pull some joy, inspiration, and motivation from somewhere.

I was thinking about Heartless yesterday, and about the “get Cath to Chess so she can lead the white queendom to victory” plot line that’s later in the book. Obviously this never happened and the sister’s prophecy of the monarch, the martyr, the murderer, and the mad came to pass. However I was wondering what would’ve happened if they had been successful in getting to Chess.

The audience knows that the land of Chess is locked in an eternal game of chess (or at least, they should, after consideration), but the citizens don’t. They don’t understand why after any sort of checkmate, the game resets, cause they don’t understand that they’re just pieces on a chess board. Jest himself even says that he and Raven are rooks—chess pieces.

Now, knowing that, why would bringing Cath into this change anything? Even if she were able to achieve the rank of queen, there’s no guarantee that the game wouldn’t reset upon a checkmate. Even her being from Hearts doesn’t save her from that fate; we know Hatta was originally from Hearts and he became a pawn (literally) in the White Queendom.

It seems like Cath was doomed no matter which kingdom she stayed in. Staying in Hearts leads to the sisters’ prophecy, and going to Chess means a never-ending fight until they die.

dear priest, i have a confession to make with a drop of blood and tears

it's just a play

[astrestia]

Katniss and Peeta each willing to die so the other can have a future with someone else.

Katniss and Peeta each wanting the other to make a family even though they won't be a part of it.

Katniss and Peeta each finding happiness in the idea of the other being happy even if they won't be alive to see it.

Their love is so selfless.
