People should talk about Yaad and Thistle more. Weird granduncle that killed your dad in a petty impulsive punitive act, leaving you very scared of him as you live under his control for centuries. Imagine growing up hearing stories of the King’s brother, the kind, clever, collected and calm advisor and right hand man. But only knowing him by how warped he’s become, violent and erratic. He punishes you, too, robbing you of any agency by putting you inside of a doll. And then despite, he becomes catatonic and you’re left to take care of him in his brother’s body while he thinks you’re him.
And then you see those slivers of that nice caring person you heard so much about in your childhood a millenium ago, and as he babbles about Delgal thinking he’s you, recalling memories and old habits, you wonder about how things must have used to be, before, and how they’ve changed irreparably. Today is melancholic again.
Yaad being like, Thistle’s sort of great-nephew who’s lived most of his life seeing him as being out of his mind and only a mirage of the noble attentive person he once was, now having to take care of him, someone who was an older familial figure to him… Seeing him gentle, soft and unhurried after all this time spent in an emotional anxious paranoid frenzy... Yaad and Thistle post-canon is so special

"The only person who can save you is yourself, don't rely on anybody else!"
Actually, what has saved me is books and my favourite video game and my cats and my friends who I've shared late nights and too-early mornings with and the dew-covered grass I walked on on the way to a competition bus in ninth grade band and the sunburn that kept me out of school for days the month prior.
I understand the viewpoint of how you are ultimately the person who can save you, but don't discount that you aren't an island. You aren't meant to be your sole savior. Let others save you, too. You are worth the care and love the universe has for you.

~ and if I can dissolve I do ~
(hanahaki au below the cut)
AU where Peeta develops the hanahaki disease during Catching Fire and the only people that understand the significance of it are Mrs Everdeen and Haymitch, both of which he swears to secrecy since he's going to die in the arena anyway.
Snow also recognises the symptoms (rumour has it he underwent surgery shortly after his time in D12) when Peeta is unable to hide it from the cameras during the Quell. The flowers are removed as part of the hijacking process, but whether it was successful or not is uncertain - dandelions are a stubborn weed after all, and their roots grow deep.

This is a really great fat positive song. The two people in this video are a couple and they made this song based on their relationship. I don't know the identities of Olivia Barton (the person on the left). The singer on the right, corook, identifies as nonbinary and queer and goes by they/them. Apparently this song was viral on TikTok earlier this year, but I don't use TikTok, so I only just learned of this song. The song was so viral though that it was played on radio stations and written about in news articles. I'm glad that such a fat positive song was so widespread!
I'll put the lyrics of the song under the read more for anyone who wants them.
-Mod Worthy
Lyrics:
If I were a fish and you caught me
You'd say "Look at that fish"
Shimmering in the sun
Such a rare one
Can't believe that you caught one
If I were a fish and you caught me
You'd say "Look at that fish"
Heaviest in the sea
You'd win first prize
If you caught me
Why's everybody on the internet so mean?
Why's everybody so afraid of what they've never seen?
If I was scrolling through and I saw me
Flopping around and singing my song
I'd say "Damn, they're cute" and sing along
If I were a rock you would pick me up
And say "That's a nice rock"
Skippiest on the lake
Plop, plop, plop
I'm the perfect shape
And if I were a sock you would put me on
And say "That's a nice sock"
Happiest as a pair
I found you now I'm not scared
Why's everybody on the internet so mean?
Why's everybody so afraid of what they've never seen?
If I was scrolling through and I saw me
Flopping around and singing my song
I'd say "Damn, they're cute" and sing along
How lucky are we?
Of all the fish in the sea?
You get to be you
And I get to be me
Just let 'em be mean
We're as free as can be
To be the you-est of you
And the me-ist of me
If I were a fish
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
If I were a fish
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
If I were a fish
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
If I were a fish
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

does anyone else have horny and non-horny ships? like binggeyuan is totally a horny ship & so is anything with tianlang-jun. i don't really read that much pwp but i will read the FILITHIEST things if they involve a heavenly demon ig. but tender binggeyuan always just seems so...wrong. tbh i think you have to be in a certain state of mind to truly appreciate the freak4freak dynamic they have going on...like any reasonable person would dump lbg's ass but then again sy has the wife halo so it all works out.
but recently i've been super into qijiu but they're such a turnoff. istg it's like watching a divorced couple fuck awkwardly. there's not even a hot exes to lovers thing it's just awful. i refuse to believe in hot qijiu smut. even milfjiu can't save it. like sub yqy and dom sj is like amazing in theory but i can't help thinking about how yqy would apologize every 10 seconds for "hurting" sj but not in like a sexy way and just kill the mood. i love them but i cannot read their smut. i will read the worst qijiu fics if they have the right tags but i cannot read pwp. maybe i just need my horizons expanded lol.
