Apropos of that fantasy swords post, I love how half of Sanderson's books set up the story so that he's basically saying, "I am aware that crazy-shaped swords as tall and broad as a man make no sense, so I'm gonna painstakingly show you the reasons why they actually work physically, practically, and culturally in this society."

That man KNOWS he shouldn't have crazy, giant swords, but he is determined to have them. He just thinks they're cool.

I catch a glimpse of myself on the television screen on the wall that’s airing my arrival live and feel gratified that I appear almost bored. Peeta Mellark, on the other hand, has obviously been crying and interestingly enough does not seem to be trying to cover it up. I immediately wonder if this will be his strategy in the Games. To appear weak and frightened, to reassure the other tributes that he is no competition at all, and then come out fighting. - "You know what my mother said to me when she came to say good-bye, as if to cheer me up, she says maybe District Twelve will finally have a winner. Then I realized, she didn’t mean me, she meant you!” bursts out Peeta. “Oh, she meant you,” I say with a wave of dismissal. “She said, ‘She’s a survivor, that one.’ She is,” says Peeta.

The beef between Haymitch and Snow is so funny. The way Haymitch drank an entire pitcher of milk just so Snow wouldn't get any, so Snow kept supplying him milk throughout his entire stay in the Capitol after his victory... bro what are you doing you're the president of Panem😭

Twenty One Pilots self-titled album is proof that the best Christian songs are by bands that aren't in the Christian genre, they are simply artists who are Christian who speak of their experiences and relationship to their faith without having to appeal to a demographic that cares more about generic faith and worship songs rather than exploring the depths of humanity's interactions with God in an imperfect world.

Also, Addict With a Pen is a Wolfwood in the Time Travel AU song, I'm just saying

Extremely underrated part of Crisis Core is that Zack was just. The highest ranked member of the military for a hot second there. Like Genesis fucked off and Angeal died and Seph locked himself in his room and the director was on the run for embezzlement and we see no other firsts around so Zack, an eighteen year old promoted to the rank two months ago, is the one in charge. And you know the funniest part? Of all the insane and terrible internal structure decisions Shinra is making, that one did not actually contribute to the downfall of their company. Like, by all accounts the eighteen year old child soldier did a pretty bang up job!

for some reason, i'm thinking about an alternate version of events where haymitch figures out the gumdrops are poisoned before it's too late, and then spends the rest of his life taking the first bite of everything lenore dove eats. just to make sure. and of course he's paranoid.

it would be such a delicious parallel to snow. the man willing to poison himself to kill others vs. the man who's willing to poison himself to save someone he loves.

and then it's an even more powerful image, in a way, because katniss and peeta did it with the berries, too.

my fav thing about sunrise on the reaping was when haymitch was like yeah caeser i'm a lone wolf 😏 i'm with the newcomers but i'm not WITH the newcomers, yknow? they call me a rascal. a rebel against the gamemasters. I scored a ONE and that is a THREAT. you do not want to mess with me 🙅

cut to him with like 20 kids following him around like ducklings, him hiding in his t-shirt, him letting a bunny guide him to safety because it reminded him of his girlfriend, and him making nightlights out of potatoes.

Thinking about how Snow poisoning both himself and his target is the only thing that makes sense for his character, because with every evil act he does, he justifies it by victimizing himself
