Back on my rebel!Peeta agenda but I think that it is very Of Note that when he’s forced in his first interview to call for a ceasefire and urges everyone to “lay down their weapons,” it’s incredibly notable that he then follows it immediately up saying while we’re at how how about you let me go “build another hundred card houses.” He’s playing it off how the Capitol wants, like they’re just keeping him locked up and bored, but “card houses” is clearly an intentional choice of words.

…he’s basically telling the rebels right off (insofar as he can under the circumstances) like yeah so this is all bullshit they’re making me say don’t actually lay down your weapons. And still the rebels in district 13 are immediately like omg what a filthy TRAITOR!! Damn. I know emotions are running high but like, use your heads, people. Justice for this boy!!

Why are twitter users baffled by human behavior, he is at a sports event with other people, ofc he is talking, everyone in that crowd is. Also he was quite for like more than half the video.

these people are going to be SO mad when they go and spectate a sporting event in real time right in front of their eyes, because no spectator in any sporting event ever actually shuts their mouth, especially not in noisy sports and Luigi is not being an exception here by talking about the game it's in fact the opposite he's being very normal by pointing and talking about the game and the players

Joining in on chapter 5 love! >:3 I really like how this chapter explains the weird mental spot KCB’s stuck in a bit better. In the other chapters I was confused as to why he wasn’t leaning into the sympathy Vanellope’s been showing him more in like a manipulative way? I thought it was a little odd that he was so standoffish when she’d question him about things like the Roadblasters incident or her comments about how lonely it would’ve been being isolated and gameless instead of taking advantage of her willingness to hear him out to pull some sort of “Oh, poor old me” kind of routine or something to try and sway her opinion of him to seem more sympathetic than he actually is or something like that… (Wow, run-on sentence much? Sorry. qwq Also please don’t take this as a jab at your writing or anything, the fic is really good, it just took me until now to fully understand KCB’s thought process with this topic specifically!)

But now that the whole thing about how he’s having more trouble than usual regulating his emotions also that he’s not wanting to risk looking too obviously manipulative has been explained more directly, everything else beforehand makes a lot more sense for me, and I think that’s cool! Especially for re reading! :3

OH DUDE DON’T WORRY YOU’RE FINE LMAO, one of my weakest points with this fic so far has been basically exactly that, elaborating on this weird position he’s been thrown into, lol. Like, I can FEEL what I mean in my own head, but I have trouble translating that to words sometimes, so it can come out a little confusing, that is definitely my bad. 😂 I’m happy to hear it came across more clearly in this chapter! :D Thank you so much for all the kind words, I am SOBBING

But yeah, it’s basically this weird situation of, like, he can’t really do the full-on “nice persona” stuff like he did with King Candy because everybody knows that was fake now, the illusion is BROKEN, so HE knows that it would be a horrible idea to try that or any similar lies again since it’d just have the opposite effect and everyone would be like “Do you think we’re f-cking stupid”. (I mean, he does, but not THAT stupid. 😂) On the OTHER hand, being overly aggressive or speaking his mind the whole time would ALSO get everybody severely side-eyeing him because OH BOY HE HATES THEM ALL AND WANTS THEM TO DIE BUT HE CAN’T JUST SAY THAT LMAO, so he’s gotta hold a very delicate balance of “Don’t be suspiciously nice” and “Don’t be a raging asshole 24/7” but the whole ‘facade being broken’ thing and ‘part Cy-bug now’ thing kinda has him leaning towards raging asshole since he can kinda get away with it a little bit, given the current situation JGFHHTVJGHKBJNK

So being on SUUUPER thin ice already, finding a middle ground of all that stuff while also dealing with the threat of Sinistar and having to figure out a plan to take over a game at some point is a lotta stuff to be juggled lol

y'all kramnik is still going on twitter😭😭 now he's going after El Divis (one of the organizers and spanish commentator)!! mind you he was giving a whole ass CONTRACT THAT HE COULD READ BEFORE SIGNING AND HE COULD ASK AS MANY QUESTIONS AS HE WANTED BEFORE AGREEING!!! not to mention the fact that during the games he made some insane requests that everybody agreed to.

Kendrick Lamar

4 diss tracks in 5 days. Bruv, you might as well just release a diss album. Well, he did warn Drake. Let's see if Drake turns up to Kendrick's yard like Stormzy did when Chip dissed him. Chip had that grown man acting like a roadman.

Granted, it's almost feeling like this...

Oh well...

the thing is that it’s NEVER just two guys standing next to each other . i’ve never in my life seen a situation where people claim it’s a “two guys just standing next to each other” “two pale coconuts” thing and it actually is . chances are they’re doing insane cocomelon shit to each other in every episode . interview with the vampire hannibal level gay shit is happening in tv shows that are filmed like target commercials i promise .

I just finished tspb 😭

I also just listened to a bunch of Chess songs and imagined Jon listening to them knowing he was so close to singing them and missing them right then and trying not to cry on a train

And then I cried

Thanks 💔

(No but your writing is soooososososo good and I loved your whole story and felt ALL THE THINGS while reading it 💕💕💕

I really love the tma fandom in general for how much love is written into everything? Like how people always write about accepting help, how people WANT to support you, and all the trials and rewards of such things — and your writing is just one more beautiful, lovely, and teary part of that 🥰)

Sorry if it’s weird to pop in here abt your story from like..5 years ago btw 😅😅

not weird at all, this is so sweet!!!! i love that this story still has the capacity to touch hearts, even after all this time 😭 i poured a lot into TSP and it means a lot to me to this day, and it means a lot to me that you stopped by to send me this message! thank you so much!!!!

everybody else's storyline: the pros and cons of war, the excuses people make to shed needless blood, the realization that everything is past reconciliation

daemon's storyline:

kamala keeping quiet on palestine and not comitting is so she cam secure both the progressive and moderate vote btw. Like historically she has supported a ceasefire but due to how contentious an issue this is she really, really has to strategically play her cards to secure as many dem votes as possible.

I wanna post more art so have this first redesign of a somewhat older OC Read more for rambling??

His name is Cyber and He's my favorite little villain that does not deserve redemption <3 He looks so innocent 90% of the time- Any ways this is mostly me figuring out his patterns and anatomy, cause thats whats really stumped me for the past 3+ designs

THE OLD ONE WAS SO BAD I DIDNT LIKE IT AT ALL BUT I STILL KEPT IT UNTIL NOW TWT I like this one much better, the only thing I hate are the legs but im having a hard time drawing legs today (I should draw them a bit-)

I should Figure out his other designs (He has SO MANY like the true multiphase boss with angsty backstory he is)

Prepare for more quickly drawn art of him cause he's on my mind again (He often is cause he's so fun to imagine to music :D)
