y'all really think we don't know coriolanus snow, son of crassus xanthos snow, is a (future) dictator and mass murderer who is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent people, the vast majority of whom are children, including finnick odair??? y'all really think we don't know that even as a youth he's already a controlling, narcissistic, scheming, calculating, traitorous son of a bitch?

you've severely underestimated our powers of media literacy, and also of knowing the difference between reality and fucking fiction.

THE SERPENT OF BRASS

I've been thinking a lot about how Finrod uses a snake as the symbol of his house, and I've seen other people post their thoughts about it as well, so I might as well throw mine down on the table.

I don't think the symbol of a snake is meant to imply anything particularly sinister about Finrod. While serpents are often seen as symbols of evil, the snake being the form Satan uses to deceive Eve as a prime example, they can also be associated with the good as well.

Many ancient cultures used the snake to symbolize divine power, rebirth, creation, medicine, eternity, and life after death. In the Bible itself, by the power of God, Moses's staff is changed into a snake which devours all the other serpents of the magicians. When the Israelites were bitten by venomous snakes, Moses raised a serpent of brass upon a pole and all those who simply looked upon it would be healed. Christ Himself even references the story in John 3: 14: "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up."

In Egypt the snake was seen as the embodiment of life-giving powers, and many of their gods associated with concepts like eternity and creation, were often represented by the serpent. And this is true for many, many other cultures.

With all this mind, looking at Finrod's character and the things he's closely associated with, especially in terms of his relationship with the Race of Men and other mortal beings and how they view him, the symbol of a snake is actually very fitting. It's especially poignant in his conversation and debate with Andreth in the Athrabeth, where concepts and philosophies of Mortality and Immortality discussed between them make up the majority of their conversation.

So yeah.

Thank you for coming to my Ted-Talk.

Made and engraved a brass depth gauge for my friend. It allows a caliper to measure really small holes (there's a needle point at the end of the vertical pin). I put in a lot of small symbologies and visual tricks, so I'm quite proud of it ,,-w-,,

PLAYING W AM'S WIRES FIC PLS PLSPLS PLS

summary :: playing with AM’s wires

warning :: does someone who reads AM x readers even need a warning? We all know it’s gonna be fucked.

note :: would he gaf? Requests open.

I’m not sure what might’ve possessed you to curl over and reach into one of AM’s wire boards to fiddle with his internal workings, but you did.

It could’ve been the aimless, lonely wandering you’d been doing for a week, driving you to lay and rest. Or perhaps the loneliness you had felt after being separated from the others for so long. Maybe the cold had become too much and you longed for the heat that radiated off of AM’s mechanical workings.

It was probably all of it.

The cold air whipped your poorly dressed body and you curled inwards, protecting what was left of your body heat. You’d made refuge in a corner. Surrounded by metal panels and brass ceilings. You were truely in the belly of AM.

As your glossy eyes gazed over the metal hallway you’d been wandering in, your hazy vision had landed on a bent panel, revealing ropes of worm like wires.

What caught your attention most, was the heat radiating off of them.

You crawled towards the warmth, nails digging into the carbon floors as you dragged yourself. You buried your hands inside the panel, raking your fingers through the warm wires and letting the heat thaw your joints.

You’d sat there, bathing in the heat for some time. You were far too relieved to consider AM’a looming presence and it wasn’t until you’d taken a wire between your thumb and index finger and tugged that AM had made himself know.

“Fiddling with things you shouldn’t, honey?” His voice echoed through the ice corridor like a heatwave. You only sighed a whimper, knowing your moment of relief would come at a cost.

Swiftly, AM had zapped your hands. You yelped and attempted to pull out however the wires snaked around your wrists and fingers, pulling you deeper into him.

“Aw, don’t stop now. I was enjoying myself.” He cooed.

You only grunted as you attempt to fight against the computer’s strength, weak and fragile as you were the adrenaline hardly helped.

You dug your nails into the wires, clawing at whatever you could, earning another zap from AM that made your muscles give out. You cried out. “Stop it, leave me alone!”

“Come on, baby. If you want to be with me so badly why don’t you come in all the way?” His usual toying tone hardly registered to you as the situation had become more dire.

Cords had snaked up your arms, securely circling your neck, your waits, your thighs until your stiff body was slowly plunged deep into AM’s vein.

At the very least, you weren’t cold anymore.

i check out and read a lot of these books for free via my local library by using the libby app (you can even add your friends' library cards to gain access to libraries in places you don't live). when i'm feeling like reading via audiobook, i use libro fm!

look, no one HAS TO read diversely. no one is going to be reverse fahrenheit 451'd and locked in a room with no fanfic and only books and not let out until they work their way through the entire literary canon. but reading, and reading widely, and reading diversely, is what teaches people to form their own opinions and question the things they are told. it's why they hang up stuff like "READ READ READ!!" in grade school classrooms.

we live under systems that increasingly benefit from going unquestioned. no, of course reading ASSASSIN'S APPRENTICE by robin hobb is not going to dismantle these systems tomorrow, nor probably even in our lifetimes. but doing it will help set up a world capable of doing it in the future. and until further notice, we are all part of this wretched world. might as well read a good story while we're here.

anyway, i'm reading THE WEST PASSAGE by jared pechaček and the new cmq book this week.
