What I think is kind of interesting is that if Dean Casca Highbottom, seeing exactly how good of a student Young Coriolanus Snow was, had taken the boy under his wing instead of despising him and trying to get revenge on a boy that never knew his father (and who only had of his father the words of others about the great man that he was), he might have had a good helping hand in stopping the games he so deeply despised.

It would have been, at the same time, quite a revenge on Crassus Snow to use his son to dismantle the Games the man helped implement. Not only that, but it would have offered young Coryo a person to depend on during his most formative years where he had to grow up under the immense pressure of keeping up appearances, taking care of an ailing grandmother and fighting everyday to keep himself and his family fed.

What Casca failed to realise during the 10th Games was that there weren't 24 tributes, but 25. Snow was fighting for survival just as much as the rest; of course, with the caveat that Snow was never in danger of losing his life. But, for a boy who had for all his life to survive instead of to live, those two might have been the same thing. In saving himself, Coryo would also save Tigris and his grandmother, while all the other tributes were saving mosty themselves since they would be going home with nothing to show for winning the games other than their lives and some (crippling in some cases) trauma.

Maybe things would have played out differently, maybe not, but we have seen time and time again through all four of the Hunger Games books, the power of a kind gesture: Peeta with the bread, Rue healing Katniss, Katniss singing to Rue, Mags sacrificing herself, Boggs treating Katniss like a young traumatised girl when no one else did. Who knows if Snow (and, in turn, the rest of Panem) wouldn't have benefited from it?

Not saying that people with more obvious physical limitations have it any easier, but if you're going to have a disability that gets in the way of schoolwork and class attendance, you are absolutely screwed if it happens to be "totally invisible and mostly unheard of 'can't wake up and get to morning classes on time' syndrome"

I'm probably in the minority but I found chapter 431 adorable plus as a multishipper I wasn't really disappointed by anything. And honestly I can live without caring if this chapter is canon or not

But after the visceral reaction the fandom had over this chapter I'm hoping there's no more surprises. It's so exhausting seeing people complain over which ship is canon or not. And most people I feel are playing themselves when they call out some of kind queerphobia when there's none to be found. Plus not to mention the fucking comments about people wanting to harm Horikoshi or his staff. It's disgusting

Like I saw this all go down before in the Voltron Legendary Defender fandom and it was all the same bullshit

Anyway I liked how MHA ended and hopefully this will be the last time the fandom throws a tantrum

(Honestly the thing that really makes me happy at the end of the day about MHA is the fact that Toshinori Yagi is alive and well and finally gets peace in his life)

1.5 seconds away from telling my fuck ass job they can suck my whole dick. Trying to write me up because I've had 2 unexcused absences. Both of which were from animal medical emergencies, where ya know my cats could have died and one did. But I'm still expected to come deliver service with a smile? FUCK YOU AND FUCK CAPITALISM

If I see one more post about why C!Dream is not a villain, I will rage-

C!Dream is a complex character with an understandable motive, and his spiralings was very realistic and I can one hundred percent see why. He is a very morally gray, albeit leaning more toward black than white, character. It wouldn’t be fair if I just label him as THE villain, because perspectives exist, and in some member’s perspective, like Purpled for example, he’s definitely not as evil as he is in, say, Tubbo’s perspective.

But that doesn’t change the fact Dream was a horrible person.

Just because he had a understandable motive, that doesn’t mean the shit that happened in Exile is justified. That doesn’t mean Doomsday is justified. That doesn’t mean all the manipulation and all the lying are justified. That doesn’t mean what he and Punz did to Vikkstar and Lazarbeam is justified. That doesn’t mean what happened in prison was justified.

Especially Exile and Vikkstar & Lazarbeam ! Exile is for isolating Tommy so he can’t cause trouble, not for abusing and gaslighting him to near the point of fucking suicide ! And what happened to Vikkstar & Lazarbeam was completely unnecessary ! Dream and Punz did NOT need to kill them over and over and over just to test the Revival Book, that is cruel and several violations of human’s rights.

Conclusion : C!Dream fucking sucks and I wish Punz didn’t brought him back. I’m an enthusiast, not apologist. His motive makes him explainable, not justifiable or excusable, and if I ever somehow manage to rip the fabric of reality and teleport to the DSMP universe, the first thing I will do is find Dream to deck him.

… But he’s still a complex character and one of my favourites.

Anyway, if I miss a point or something, do remind me. I’ll probably edit this and add more character analysis in the morning, when my thoughts are actually coherent and I’m not writing something from pure spite and anger.

Morning edit :

He also hurt Geogre and Sapnap. Sure, he never physically hurt them as far as we’re aware, but do you know how painful it is to watch your friend spirals and became the total opposite of how they were ? How helpless it feels when you realised your friend is too far gone and you can’t help them ? How guilty it is when you think of all the times you could reach out and stop them from turning out like this but you didn’t ? How badly that would take a toll on your mental health ?

But anyway, just because C!Dream is a horrible person, that doesn’t mean what happened in prison is okay. The whole obsidian cell with lava door and raw potato ? Yeah, that’s fine, I can get behind that, since it was his idea for prison to be like that. It’s just karma. What I meant is the torture part. Does he deserve it ? Depends who you ask. I personally think it was justified and deserved, but that still doesn’t make it okay.

EDIT: My opinion about c!Dream had changed and while some things are still the same, this post no longer mean anything besides frustrated 3 am rambles

[meezer]

[ambersky0319]

skipping class cause i wanna sleep in (bc my sleep schedule is fucked and ive procrastinated on work)

[reminiscentrainclouds]

The universe grants me a reprieve and cancels class due to snow tomorrow. Quite possibly the most relieving feeling ever. I've been so sick and it's been awful...I've just been lucky it's been the weekend.. I was dreading either having to go to class feeling Bad or having to stay home because of being too sick, but. Hopefully this gives me more time to get better.

[akemiluvr]

I think I'm actually addicted to reading fanfiction. In an unhealthy way. I have withdrawal from reading fanfiction, when I don't read it I get depressed and anxious. When something bad happens I pull out my phone to read fanfiction and it makes me feel better. I actively use it to avoid my own emotions. My phone died one time and I almost had a panic attack trying to get it to open again and calmed myself down by reading fanfic on my computer. I'm reading fanfic for like 6 hours a day average. In order to live my life I have to make the decision to stop reading fanfiction and live in the real world. I can't watch movies or shows hardly unless I'm reading fanfiction, I have to be reading on my phone and watching the show on another device. I forget to eat/sleep/go to the bathroom because of it. It hardly even gives me joy anymore but I need to keep reading it to function. Like I don't know how to live without it.... 💀💀
