Prim's name wasn't the only one in the reaping bowl because the entire point of Prim being chosen is to show that life in Panem is random and cruel. These kids truly are selected and die for nothing, based on nothing, most of the time. There is often no grand cosmic plan or 4D chess conspiracy at play in awful circumstances unfolding, just systems of oppression working as they were designed. And you can do everything right to the letter - be the youngest eligible tribute from an unknown family whose name is only in the bowl once, not take out any tesserae - but it still won't save you.

people who don't like the beach aesthetic of 1989 tv don't have an emotional attachment to these visuals I guess ??

squenix can keep adding cool new jobs for the rest of time but they're never gonna beat the raw incredible sex appeal of a dragoon doing the kain pose while standing on something they shouldn't be able to stand on

reapers throw down their scythes in disgust knowing they can never be this fucking cool

Lambpaw, like every other healer apprentice before him, traveled to the Moonshell to be granted StarClan's approval. When he stared at his reflection in the massive, iridescent shell, he couldn't help but feel anxiety gnawing at him. His mentor, Salmonfleck, gently urged him on. Lambpaw touched his nose to the salty water within the shell.

He awoke in a place that nothing could have prepared him for. Gone were the lush forests and starry skies that Salmonfleck had told him of. Everything was dull and lifeless. The air was so still he could hear the blood in his veins. Fog shrouded the forest like a blanket. A single star hung in the grey sky, giving off cold light. Worst of all... there were no StarClan cats to be seen--

--until the fog began taking shape.

Someone engaging with the romance plots in thg or tbosas doesn’t mean they didn’t understand the message of the books. You can understand what they’re about and still write silly little fluffy fics about the characters or whatever bc people can get multiple things out of one piece of media.

It’s not that deep, you guys are just pretentious.

based off an old unfinished fanfic I was writing where Jeff and Toby break into a house and share an orange

I have a firm belief that the only way Yellowjackets can end is with the death of each of the remaining survivors and [redacted] was just the first (second, really) of what will be all of them in time. "The wilderness" will reclaim them one by one because they weren't supposed to leave. But also they will be swallowed up by their own darkness in their refusal to acknowledge it and that will be the great tragedy of it. All of their deaths will be preventable, but inevitable in light of the cycles they keep on repeating.

I've seen no one talking about the alchemy so here we go I took an entire graduate course on alchemical processes so I am prepared. alchemy is all about the transmutation of metals into gold and boy oh boy do we know someone who loves to reference gold in her work, usually - I thought - as color symbology. but lyrics such as "your midas touch on the chevy door" / "deep blue but you painted me golden" / "I once believed love would be burning red but it's golden" all suggest the transformation of something into gold. the purpose of completing an alchemical process is to find the life elixir or universal cure ("we thought a cure would come through in time, now I fear it won't" and "I'm getting tired for a phoenix always rising from the ashes" - alchemists LOVE phoenixes because of their transformation and healing abilities). traditionally, alchemy was thought to confirm the presence of God on earth, as if he was revealing his secrets to mortals (false god) and so I'm by far the most excited to hear the alchemy because she's been building these really subtle alchemical references for so long and always as this magical, happy thing and I will be devastated if she's like. jk we did not find the cure and I'm never singing about gold again
