Katelyn seemed nervous at first, but she warmed up quickly and chatted almost nonstop through dinner. She was so enthusiastic about apparently everything in the world that it was a little exhausting listening to her, but Aaron looked so alive in her presence Neil couldn’t hold it against her.
oh so i’m never getting over them, actually.

i always see people make the parallel between katniss and her mother when katniss gives up at the end of catching fire but no one ever mentions this parallel between how they start healing

Jerejean are such a "cheeta and its emotional support dog" ship, i agree with that so much
But also
Isn't it funny how much neil fits the characteristics of an anxious, flighty, endangered cheetah
And andrew is constantly associated with being a dog
Yet andreil's relationship doesn't quite fit the cheetah & support dog dynamic the way jerejean does?

Deeply deeply funny to me how literally every interaction bingqiu has scans as some type of an insane sex game except for when they actually have sex which is unbelievably fumbling, awkward, and unsexy without fail

byakuya togami killed his sense of guilt after his family's heir competition and sentencing his siblings to be wiped from their history, essentially, because remorse gets you nowhere if you dwell on it and a togami shouldn't spare such pointless emotions for people below him.
but then makoto falls into the trash chute and for the first time in a long time, he feels something like regret. this wasn't what he wanted. yes he's alive, now, and yes maybe that meant it was the right choice in the end - but what if there was a different way? what if makoto could've been saved? he was a boy who had only wanted to help those around him, and as annoying and naive as he was, he was also incredibly observant and painfully clever. shouldn't he have deserved to live?
the relief he feels when he sees makoto again is something he can't express. he's never needed to express it before

So I'm replaying Ray's After ending rn, and it got me thinking that what I adore so much about Rika as an antagonist is just how damn scary she can be. I always found those who cause harm with good intentions (at least in their point of view) much scarier than those who hurt you with pure intention on hurting you. I think the best example of it is this CG in particular:
Look at that. Such a loving, gentle expression on her face. Probably kissing his forehead. Because she loves him. Heck, without any context, this CG looks even sweet, if you think about it. And yet, all that is while Saeyoung is forcefully sedated on a powerful concoction of drugs even a trained agent like him can't do anything about (and Saeyoung WAS definitely trained to deal with this sort of thing, hence it's mentioned that this is a 'special' kind of drugs). He looks miserable. Bags under his eyes, his expression pained and troubled, even his hair is paler than usual. All that as a direct result of her actions. But she's utterly blind to it. What's scarier, is that she knowingly shuts off her understanding of what's really happening. She's not oblivious to it at all. She just chooses not to see it that way. Simply because she doesn't want to.
Rika is the type of antagonist that will cup your cheek into her warm hand with the most loving of smiles on her face, all while you are getting elixir poured down your throat. Even whispering to you that you're doing great, that the pain will soon pass, and that she can't wait to see you reach the happiness she knows you deserve. I won't be surprised if she even cried genuine tears of compassion during some ceremonies for her believers. All while being the sole reason behind their suffering.
And that's... God, that's terrifying to me. I love that about her.
Rika Kim, they could never make me hate you
