And I can go anywhere I want

Anywhere I want, just not home

And you can aim for my heart, go for blood

But you would still miss me in your bones

( MY GIRLS MY GIIIIRRLLLLSSSS!!!!!! )

Be my companion, Louis.

Drew the scene that has been living rent free in my head since the moment it graced my screen.

Suzanne Collins did such a good job of mentioning small things about Peeta that support the picture of him not being the first choice for anything even before the series started. Like mentioning he lost to his brother in wrestling or that his dad always wanted a girl while we know he’s the youngest child. Or being raised in an abusive household, where even if his dad is portrayed to be nice, his dad still enabled his mom hitting him and prioritized the peace of the house over keeping his children safe. And the beautiful part is that for every single instance of Peeta being in a situation where he shouldn’t be prioritized, Katniss sees reason to choose him

- in contrast to his parents Katniss chooses to prioritize Peeta’s safety throughout the books

- Katniss uses Peeta being second to his brother in wrestling as an example of how strong he is when she’s advocating for him to Haymitch.

- while Peeta’s mom thinks Katniss is the one who could be a winner (and even Haymitch ends up picking Katniss), most of the first book is Katniss thinking of all the ways Peeta could be a contender

- when the Quell is announced, Katniss picks Peeta over her own life

- during the Quell,while Peeta is trying to convince her to go back home to her best friend and the family that includes her sister she almost gave up her life for , she still chooses needing Peeta over all that

- Gale, even before everything with Prim and their disagreements during Mockinjay, Katniss’s actual affection and attraction always came back to Peeta instead of the expected route of her friend from the Seam

- the rebellion not wanting to rescue him but Katniss chooses to become the Mockingjay to bring him back

- at the end of Mockinjay, Katniss is depressed and suicidal and at the point where you would think she would choose death over everything, but the one thing that will cause her to choose to live? Peeta.

bbc merlin + arthurian legend

[seaesnstars]

the thing i feel people don't really take enough into account when it comes to arthur's supposed obliviousness regarding merlin's magic is that merlin is the absolute opposite of what arthur has been raised to believe sorcerers to be. merlin is clumsy and kind and - in the earlier seasons - like walking sunshine. he so obviously has negative desire for actual power, nor any respect for it, and while arthur absolutely knows that merlin isn't stupid, he 100% is an idiot.

and it's not stupid or ignorant on his part! people just do this, whenever they are taught someone who does or believes a certain thing is inherently evil! it's never the friendly guy next door who snacks half of your breakfast and then just grins when you complain, obviously not! arthur trusts merlin even early on, and beyond belief later on. of course merlin can basically do magic in front of him, because there is no part of arthur that actually thinks someone like merlin could have magic. you don't see what you're 100% convinced can't be there. if he ever got there, his already brittle construct of indoctrination and supposed repeated confirmation of said construct would crumble immediately! as it does in dotd after like, a day. it only doesn't in regards to morgana because as far as arthur is concerned, the moment she started using magic she became the cold and ruthless enemy he still couldn't bring himself to actually pursue! like.

it's very easy to think it's startingly oblivious, but one thing i really wish people would keep in mind a little more is that the viewer watches from a different point of view, and operates with a whole other set of information. that arthur operates under a certain worldview in an environment that does not teach to question it at all, and gives little opportunity to do so. it's actually wild arthur questions uther's teachings as often as he does, and considering that every time he does, they, to his knowledge, just get confirmed again (nimueh, morgause, morgana, uther's death, and so on and so forth), it's even wilder that he keeps doing it

And Baru cast the first dart at hand, the words that set the coopers and the fishmongers and the bannermen of Lyxaxu and Oathsfire and Unuxekome roaring: “Show them who should rule Aurdwynn, and why.” Vultjag! the poorer parts of the crowd screamed, a raw astonished sound. Vultjag!
