Learning languages is SO FUN right up until you need to learn conjugation and then suddenly it turns sour real fucking fast

The agony of thinking you’re finished doing the dishes only to turn around and to your horror: the pot.

okay! so I saw this on twitter and omg does it resonate with me. this is where I struggle with sunrise on the reaping haymitch versus the original trilogy haymitch. not because it’s so unbelievable that haymitch becomes mean and cruel, it’s actually very realistic, but it saddens me so much because after reading how kind and wonderful he was as a teen, the fact that katniss and peeta will never ever experience this side of him is heartbreaking. like he loves them more than anything, he’s only alive because of them by the end, they’re his entire family, and yet he’ll still never be the sweet boy who wanted to protect all the little kids in the arena, bought his girlfriend a book of old poems because he knew she’d love them and a million other things. like this is what I’ve struggled to reconcile since reading sunrise. haymitch was so genuinely wonderful as a person but his trauma did not make him kind, it made him borderline abusive, and that is just who he is now.

and yes, the films sure did soften him up. but i’m talking about book haymitch only, who said cruel things, made fun of katniss at the worst times in her life, told her she didn’t deserve peeta because she took less than an hour to plead for his life over hers, threatened to implant a device in her brain like lou lou’s and punched peeta in the jaw so hard he fell out of his chair. like i adore haymitch, now more than ever, but it actually depresses me so much that katniss and peeta will never know the man he could have been, and the person he was, even though he loves them with all his heart.

also if these twitter users who I screenshot see this, credit to y’all, I totally agree.

i love how suzanne just gives us a little treat by mentioning the katniss plant every book. like here u go. ik u miss our girl. she's fine. enjoy lowercase katniss

[kazsinej]

and when i say that detail about haymitch losing his unborn twin sisters foreshadows him being a mentor and losing two kids each year in the hunger games

Looking through the Blake Lively filing and apparently one of Justin Baldoni's suggestions was going on a pop-doctor talk show to blame his "neurodivergence" for saying inappropriate and harassing things because it makes him "socially awkward" like he was responding to a tumblr callout in 2018.

Count piercings that have closed up (and double-count them if you went to a piercing place to get them re-pierced)

Use your own judgement on what "a piercing" is. but generally im aiming at "number of times a piercing needle or gun has been used on you, intentionally, for aesthetic purposes"

feel free to give the where/when breakdown in the tags u want also?

haladriel moments: 24/∞

things we need to address:

gen z men getting pulled into alt-right pipelines through andrew tate, joe rogan, elon musk, jordan peterson etc

the gullibility and stupidity of half the country voting against our collective best interests

the broad effect social media has on public and common good

lazy minds and lack of empathy

outside-country interference (trump and elon’s connections to russia and the amount of bots from other countries spreading misinformation)

the long-term effects of AI and rampant disinformation

"Horror allows you to take a step back, and look at fears as if they’re not your own. Fear, like laughter, is universal. And what we’re afraid of tells us who we are. That’s the lens genre – all genres, by the way, science fiction and fantasy, too – provides." - Trevor Macy, Midnight Mass: The Art of Horror
