It’s not stupid. I promise. It’s not stupid to turn into your 5 year old self and get happy beyond measure for the little things. It’s not stupid to be proud of yourself for completing a load of laundry and washing the dishes. You aren’t lame for patting yourself on the back when you chose a salad over a burger. You’re taking care of yourself and each victory - no matter how small - is worth celebrating.

AOAS is actually so weird out of context. The main baddie is literally from mars, he killed an entire planet, was beheaded, and then started wearing one of the MC’s best friend’s body like the other 17% of the headless horseman for the ~drama~. One of the main driving plot points of the first book is Mars Man kidnapping Basically The President’s daughter and forcing the MC to babysit her against his will while he studies to get his license to kill. My man floods Basically NATO with mind-controlled sharks and yells “lol nope, u thought” while watching world leaders get eaten from a helicopter. The B-plot is New Jesus trying to navigate the intricacies of religion and developing a dysfunctional-ass found family that consists of his tour manager, a stubborn but devout theatre kid, a jean-cloaked ex-killer, and Robot God. He falls in love with a sexy sea captain who gets possessed by Robot God bc it’s in love. There’s deep talks about nature and morality of humanity. The two MC’s bang while dying of hypothermia while sinking to the bottom of the ocean. This isn’t even half of it.

not enough people talking about the new Black Mirror episode Common People that shit was nauseating

the endlessly increasing subscription model just to have control of your life, paralleling obviously the greed-induced enshittification of all subscription-based services lately but also the healthcare system's price-gouging on medications so many disabled people rely on to live

constantly teetering over the edge of total poverty because of it, the husband literally defiling himself to make ends meet all for it to backfire and come crashing down on their heads, just for a $500 tip they so desperately needed

the wife never even having a say in the procedure, or the upgrades her husband bought her, her life completely upended by something that was never her fault and she had no control over. destroying her happiness, her livelihood, her sleep, her relationships, her finances. spending hundreds of dollars every month just to be normal

the total existential horror of happiness never being within reach for long, trapping you into paying more and more money for something that was never truly worth it — but without it everything is worse. and at the end of it they had nothing left. there was no way forward but to die.

i can't even continue the season i just keep thinking about this episode. the plot may have been predictable but the message is too close to home

when lenore dove comes to me now, she’s not angry or dying (…). she’s grown older with me, her face etched with fine lines, her hair touched with gray. like she’s been living her life beside me as the years passed, instead of lying in her grave. still so rare and radiant.

"I love you like all-fire"

[beastbarked]

hihi. kill me

the difference between Haymitch and Katniss's narration is so funny. Haymitch would give us everyone's social security number if he knew them, while Katniss wouldn't even tell us her mom's name.

"isn't it unrealistic that every time some rebellion shit goes on in District 12 it's someone related to or connected to Lucy Gray" no because Snow committed the cardinal sin of dating someone from a big family in a small town

[beastbarked]

i’m so appreciative to suzanne for reframing the rebellion from the original trilogy as a “they saw their moment and took it” type situation and showing us that they’ve been trying, over and over, with so many failed attempts, to break the arena and incite a rebellion for decades. in this current political climate never giving up hope is so essential. haymitch wasn’t the first nor the last, and they kept going even when it seemed completely futile, and that’s what counts, and what ultimately saves them all.

Haymitch and his ducklings

It's Helly, actually. Helly. It's the person I'm in love with, which you'd know if you'd ever taken an interest in my life.
