Spike goes to the mainland twice, but he only “becomes a man” once. With his father he sees killing and death as heavily bravado based, the enemy so dehumanized it’s an adrenaline inducing boy’s day. He misses most of his arrow shots and hides in an attic.

With his mother he learns there is love and memory in death, accepts that they all must die, and sees that sometimes you must kill to survive. They sleep in an open air church and his arrows strike hard and true.

With his father he leaves and returns as the child in need of protection and with his mother he returns protecting a baby and taking on the role of adult.

All of this to say is the movie shows us the stark difference between the toxic masculinity of his culture telling him that manhood is killing for fun, and the masculinity he learns from the doctor about honoring death and accepting that the only thing we have power over is love and memory.

haymitch sending katniss the bread from 11 in the aftermath of rue’s death hits so much harder with the knowledge that mags sent him the coffee and strawberry ice cream after maysilee died

he was inviting her to cry to him the same way that mags had for him, the same way katniss does in mockingjay

he turned out to be so much more emotionally cognizant with katniss than we gave him credit for

[chinaschodetoesrandom]

so you’re telling me that after what happened to louella/lou lou haymitch had to watch peeta come back from the capitol as a “mutt version of himself” and question whether the shell of a human with peeta’s face was even peeta at all

and he had to do all that SOBER???

steve rogers did not spend 3+ movies fucking over the government for people to completely miss the point of captain america. can't wait for sam to continue that tradition and punch the president

[chinaschodetoesrandom]

And he’s RIGHT. Fuck everyone who is throwing a fit over Mackie speaking the truth. He and Chris Evans know this role better than anyone. Captain America is a figure of American propaganda both in the real world and in the MCU, despite how the characters Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson and actors Chris Evans and Anthony Mackie feel. If you just see the red, white and blue, the propaganda, and not what these characters have stood for, that’s on you. And if you think that America represents honor and dignity for everyone, wake the fuck up. Honestly, just look out the window.

there’s something about poseidon showing up for sally.

luke tells percy that they burn what they’ll miss most so that gods will know that what they’re saying is important so they’re really listen.

but sally burns ice cream. ice cream that she has no attachment to. it’s not even baby percy’s ice cream. it’s just random leftover ice cream that she grabbed from a pile of dirty dishes.

the ice cream could not be more unimportant to sally. in the grand scheme of things, the ice cream is nothing.

but poseidon comes to her anyway. he shows up immediately after probably the most lackluster offering sally could give. he shows up anyway.

just…there’s something about poseidon showing up for sally.

I still prefer Margot and Lucas on Goosebumps rather than Margot and Isaiah. I don’t know if it’s just me but they don’t really have romantic chemistry so it’s very hard to read their scenes as romantic. There’s not natural spark in there. And to me, not matter the trope, it has to have some chemistry, otherwise it doesn’t work. The last speech when Isaiah was in the hospital just gave me best friends and not like you’re about to lose the person you’re in love with. The break up scene between Lucas and Margot had more angst than that. They need to fix that to make their romantic relationship believable later on.

And it’s the fact that the childhood best friends to lovers trope is a hit or a miss because most of the times the audience just has to accept by the narrative that they “know each other” and is often a whole tell don’t show situation. Aside from them knowing each other from when they were kids – I still don’t know why they like each other if not by familiarity or the need to explore a potential relationship. Like I am just supposed to accept the history that we don’t experience with them on screen. I was expecting them to give me some buzz the whole season but didn’t. Margot and Lucas probably won’t be endgame but I hope they get a better closure.
