Yes, thank you. No notes.

"these researchers published a paper on something that literally any of us could have told you 🙄" ok well my supervisors wont let me write something in my thesis unless I can back it up with a citation so maybe it's a good thing that they're amplifying your voice to the scientific community in a way that prevents people from writing off your experiences as annecdotal evidence

YET AGAIN, murph personally attacks me with a well-intentioned, high-strung muscle hunk who craves violence and carries body oil with him at all times in case he gets Rowdy. god DAMNIT

Speaking as a survivor of child sex abuse: the world would be a lot better if yall spent less time talking about the ways in which pedophiles should be punished and more time supporting survivors and preventing abuse

I get it, punishment can feel cathartic. I’ve certainly spent time imagining all the ways in which my own abuser might be punished. But ultimately, him dying, or being jailed, or publicly shamed, isn’t actually going to help me nor will it stop more kids from getting hurt in the future.

I don’t want more prisoners. I want free therapy with trauma informed counselors. I want better sex education for young children that teaches them about consent and body autonomy. And I want a society in which I can openly discuss my trauma, or at least as openly as yall discuss the evils of pedophiles

HUGE episode for Murph stans right out the gate. He's a bitchy child. He's the youngest brother. He's repeating things about NPCs until their canon. His wife hates his real name.

ALSO can't stop thinking about daisuke/comfrey. they're so cute, actually. they met in their sixties, and still got married, and apparently had a lot of wink wink nudge nudge fun on that ship. it's just always nice to be reminded that just 'cuz ur older doesn't mean u don't fuck haha.

anyways, maybe they'll reveal more canon about it later but for now i'm imagining a wedding on the zephyr with the crew, and daisuke wearing a wedding kimono while comfrey wears a white dress, her veil and his haori flying in the wind 'cuz they're sailing in the sky, the clouds behind them.

it's just, like. the way she hesitates over his name when the broadcast comes on, saving it for last and calling him by his first name when it seems like the crew generally call him pappy. the way he watched over olethra and her family from afar for years, that he still does even though they divorced at some point in those years between then and now.

just. them!!!

Digby and Wilma: We're scientists.

Sklonda: Scientists? What kind?

Digby and Wilma: Sorry, we don't understand?

Sklonda: What's your field of study?

Digby and Wilma: Science.

Conservative cowards keep inventing boogeymen to keep their groomed cult afraid.

White cis men are the real and constant threat to women. Not trans women. Not drag queens.

What if I said Katniss and Haymitch’s narration styles are so different because Katniss wrote her story as it happened/wrote it on her own and Haymitch recited the story to Katniss and Peeta and they kept asking questions prompting him to give more detail

Would that be something

sometimes I randomly remember that Mr Ratburn from Arthur is gay married to a chocolatier and a sense of calmness and prosperity washes over me like a wave 

[qwerkybadger]

people should remember that the word "hunk" exists

no, unless he's a young father, that's not a dilf, that's a hunk. If you want to call a childless man a dilf, at least make him middle aged

no, that's not a bear, that's a hunk. Bears must be fat and hairy

no, that's not a himbo, that's a hunk. Himbos must be dumb, beefy and kind simultaneously, if he's just dumb and beefy that's a hunk

like, cmon people, there's nothing wrong with a humble hunk. Why are you so mean to him?

[qwerkybadger]

Hot take: it's not a good thing that Peeta didn't value his life.

It doesn't make him boyfriend material to not want to fight for himself. It makes him a kid from an abused household.

“because he loves Peeta too” is the only line ever because it tells us, with the plainest read of the text, that Haymitch loves Peeta just as Katniss loves Peeta; so Katniss admits she loves Peeta here; and, read another way, I think it also tells us that Haymitch loves Katniss, and he loves Peeta too

and Katniss knows they are loved by Haymitch (she articulates it more later, but the fact that she reaches for his comfort also speaks volumes), which is just … a whole thing …

and he’s there for his sweetheart, immediately, and they’re united in their grief over Peeta, even as everyone else is fretting about how they’ve lost their propaganda piece

he didn’t want to let them in and this is why — and he does know what she’s feeling, more than she can handle hearing right now, not only because of his past, but because he too is watching Peeta’s decline, and Katniss’s decline because of it … so he just tells her he knows, and he holds her

this messed up little family has my heart
