Do y'all think when Peeta came back from the Capitol he was partially looking at Katniss in the manner he was when he saw her in such a disheveled state after the war partially because after an intense amount of therapy and prepping to live as her neighbor again, he was just standing there like "I was scared of THIS??"
Beauty and the Beast got me feeling caca again so I NEED to share this theory/HC I have on Jack
Here we have Jack and Vil's hometown, as shown in Vil's flashback; there are lots of resemblances to Bella's hometown in BATB as we can see,
So let's consider for the time being that their hometown is indeed based on the village from BATB. If that's the case, then we could think that the Beauty and the Beast tale is passed down on the town as a tradition (similar to how the HoND story is passed down on the City of Flowers, which is supposed to be twst-ver of Paris.) So we could have instaces like this; (example:)
That's the library of the town - A myth from 300 years ago says that during that time only one girl in town would ever come here. Her story is passed down to everyone who comes to work in this library, and it has become a famous turistic attraction in town.''
Now, returning to Jack; Jack said that he never had too many friends when growing up (Vil could have been his only childhood friend, for all we know) but why is that? Is it truly because he had a lone wolf personality ever since a kid or maybe... the other kids would avoid him? (screenshots and tls from Shel_BB on YT)
If the BATB tale is well known to everyone in town, then surely one of the most jarring parts of the tale would be ''when the lone girl went to the woods to look for her father, she was brutally attacked by wolves.''
So because of that, wolves are seen as a bad omen in town, and depictions of wolves are seen as inheritently evil/dangerous. While the tale is obviously a myth and that statement does not apply irl, Jack is notheless faced with social exclusion for being associated with the wolves from the story. Vil said so himself ''those kids can't separate fiction from reality, so they had a problem with me. How stupid can they be?'' which again could be seen as a nod and parallel to the narrow-minded and overall ignorant mentality of the villagers from BATB.
It makes me think that Vil was not the only one who suffered bullying as kid, but Jack did as well; even if he was still independent as a kid, that could also very much be one of the factors that strengthened his current mentality of ''I didn't came here to make friends'' and self-betterment. Since he had almost no people to actually trust in because they were too scared of him, he embraced his ''scary big bad wolf'' persona as an exterior mask to the people around him. Only people who earn his respect and trust eventually can see just how Jack truly is; big-hearted, sensitive and loyal. (just like the Beast?)
tl;dr: jack could be twst from the wolves that attacked belle and also he deserves the entire world thanks for coming to my ted talk

there's an ache in you put there by the ache in me
but if it's all the same to you
it's the same to me
So I binged Castaway Diva yesterday and I had a few thoughts. Honestly, the first time I started Castaway Diva, I almost stopped when they introduced a love triangle. Because let's be honest; love triangles suck. But I thought of giving it a shot after seeing the trajectory the love triangle trope was taking in Korean movies and series, as seen in hometown cha cha cha, 20th century girl, Daily dose of sunshine, crash course in romance and etc. And needless to say, I wasn't disappointed. The drama is beautiful and heartwarming and heart touching and I especially loved the way they resolved the love triangle. Clear and open communication. And the realisation of the importance and worth of platonic relationships.
For too long, we have seen platonic relationships relegated to the place of a consolation prize. Something you get when you don't get the girl. But platonic relationships are beautiful and worthy of the same amount of love and commitment that romantic relationships have and it's about time that series and movies realise that and follow that instead of just throwing the second lead in the shadows. I hope the next trajectory will let us see some polyamory.
I need a pretty little homegrown hometown girl
With a ribbon tying back those waterfall curls
I've been looking all over, all over the world
For a pretty little homegrown hometown girl
Daily reminder that rural queer people exist, that queer people aren't a city-dwelling monolith, and that it's actually extremely badass/tight as fuck/based for rural queer people to enjoy living on farms and in rural communities, and to have connections to people in their communities, and to want better for their communities as well. If u think higher than average Trump-voting margins mean an entire place and group of people deserve to be abandoned and turned into a punch line then you are not a good person ✌
U know twst is such a mindfuck because all the personal stories and events are canonly confirmed to be like alternate universes/events outside of the main story, so you can be besties with this character in one event/story and then you go back to the main story and they fucking hate your guts (sebek)
