"Punishment works!!!" We're drowning in three to four generations of people so pants-shittingly terrified of ever being wrong that half of everyone has constructed a worldview wherein they never even consider the possibility that they could be wrong and the other half behaves like one wrong move will make anything or anyone explode violently into a million irreperable pieces. I don't think it works guys

also I love that suzanne wrote katniss and haymitch in first person pov but with coryo she was like “third person for you… you get some distance, creep.”

Suzanne Collin’s just said fuck you to everyone who’s ever critiqued the Hunger Games as being a “teen girl saves the day” story. She said oh, Mockingjay didn’t make it clear enough? Here’s a book about how people have been rebelling for decades only to have their efforts suppressed and propagandized. Rebellion takes time and it takes failure and Katniss may have been the spark that ignited the wildfire but she did so standing atop the doused flames of everyone who came before her.

when Meliorn refuses to tell Alec where the Fair Folk are keeping the hostages, including Magnus, and it does not matter anyway because Meliorn is capable of lying, and Alec does not waver for a second; he simply says: "die, then, liar," and shoots an arrow through his chest. when Jace won't let anyone come along to Edom but Alec convinces him because "go without me, and you disrespect that this is my battle too."

and I think about Alec's image throughout the series as that of a protector, someone who supports at the sidelines but won't venture into the centre. he reserves that spot for Jace or Izzy, anyone else but himself. and he deserves credit for that in and of itself; it's an important place to be, one that is often overlooked: never quite in the spotlight, but always making sure to be looking directly at it.

but where Magnus is concernedー he absolutely steps the fuck up. Alec is unique in that he doesn't tolerate any bullshit, he doesn't prolong any conversations or fights; he won't listen to long self-serving monologues, won't deal with unnecessary theatrics, won't explain himself to stall time: he deals with things fast, cleanly, effectively. his arc is one of my favourites.

Mollymauk Patterns by k l

I was asked by a few people on Instagram if I would be willing to share the embroidery patterns I had designed for my Mollymauk coat to be used for references, and I agreed. I shared this link on twitter, and thought I would share them here too - to help anyone else that wanted to take a stab at Molly’s amazing coat.

i have understood so many things about online leftist culture by the fact that when i said "your local community has people you will morally and politically disagree with but you cannot lock them out of accessing any tangible service you’re organising" one of the tags responding said "this isn’t about proshippers in here you’re not welcome" like. folks. focus with me. some of us are homeless here.
