I'm sure a million people have already written about this and better than I ever could, but there are so many hypocritical moments in the hunger games that stick with me. the way the capital citizens gasp and are furious at the flag being torn down, but not at the dead children directly under it. the way they riot after peeta says "if it weren't for the baby" as if they don't watch children slaughter each other every year. the list could go on.
those moments are something I think of daily, just given the current political climate in america. suzanne collins really took a mirror right to our society and nailed it. makes me insane to think about it too much
as much as i adored the beautiful moments in part two, i think i will forever be partial to part one. it had awkwardness, playfulness, the first kiss, the yearning, jealousy, joy, protectiveness, flirting, confessions of love, desire, intimacy, the proposal —
and that sweet, glorious moment when the friends actually did become lovers.......
it has a lot to do with my personal feelings of fluff over angst. i just love the way part one felt. it was so pure and innocent, and dramatic and tense. i just really loved watching these two fools dance around each other in the beginning <3
pointing and laughing at myself 48 hours ago because i am absolutely the biggest idiot for thinking i would never like a show like bridgerton. "it's not really my type of show."
and now here i sit unable to think of anything but colin and penelope, and how badly i want part two to be released now
I don't (and never will) get why so many "fans" are saying smfs sounds like "old fall out boy". This is literally only an album that exists because they made the post hiatus albums.
This album doesn't exist without sr&r, ab/AP and mania. elements of all their past albums are infused into this album, and that's their growth as a band. This is something so many other bands just don't do, and they make a "throwback" record and it sucks and they become irrelevant and boring as hell.
Also, can you imagine showing an emo kid from 2006 a song like "Hold me like a grudge" or "What a Time to be Alive"? They'd hate them because it wasn't scene enough lol
All this to say, there's not old/new fall out boy. There's just Fall Out Boy.
it's taken me allll day long to process the fact that it's finally happened. im so so immensely happy for our lil guys 🫶🫂
courtney and shayne both individually have had such an influence on smosh, on the fans, and on me personally and seeing how much they have grown over the years to get to this point is so heartwarming.
seeing them so happy together after everything thats gone on the past 9 years is the best feeling and im so happy 😭
not only that but im so incredibly proud and grateful for this community here on smoshblr. my blog started out so small and we've managed to grow this beautiful community built on respect and love and admiration and friendship and its so fulfilling and refreshing to have a space like this 🫶
(shoutout to some of the amazing blogs here that are the pillars of our community @winterxgardener @3rddimension @snowyoctopus @unknownteapot ) (im forgetting a lot of people im so tired sorry yall)
ive gotten a few asks about what's happening with this blog now.... not going anywhere LMAOOO this was always a blog for shourtney moments (and general smoshness) and i have zero doubt it will continue to!!! im not going anywhere 🤣
a reminder that court and shayne are still the same court and shayne they were pre-announcement and are still entitled to the same respect and privacy. please dont forget they are real people.. respect their boundaries!!<3
anyways, gonna try and finally sleep. i cant believe it's actually happened. i love yall so much i love this community 😭
(special shoutout @unknownteapot who i wouldnt have met without shourtney and this community and is my forever ibsf and has kept me sane through a lot of this lmao ily bestie)
Do you have a wip/fic idea that’s simultaneously daunting but makes you hype to think about writing/finishing one day?
I have several fic ideas that I keep in a notebook and one day I'll get to them! (Hopefully, if the new ones stop taking priority.) But I have two mini series (To The Boys Next Door and an untitled Gossip Girl Au) that are on my brain right now and they both seem daunting to finish. But I know when the day comes (when I actually do finish them), I'll feel pretty pleased with myself. Also, I tend to make Playlists for my mini series and those always get me hyped to work on them!
