tiktok hunger games fans are like the fucking worst. half of them are so desperate to let people know that there's a Message to the book and that they understood the Morals and Themes and Messages of the book that cant look past book canon or have some fun and the other half is making ocs and slapping katniss and peeta's name on them while making the most outlandish conspiracy theories. you cant fucking do anything on there

The dog motif with Henry is so incredibly interesting to me because, as Tunes already correctly pointed out: it is something that is prescribed to him by others.

I do have to argue, though, that it doesn't solely seem to be about his loyalty. He gets the dog comparison from so many strangers—people who sometimes don't even know Hans, nor Henry's connection to him, know of no loyalty he could have, not even to Radzig—that for the longest time I struggled to pinpoint what exactly makes them think of Henry in that way. Now, I think that I was too preoccupied searching for one truth when I should have been looking for many.

I think not everyone who sees Henry as a dog sees him as the same dog. Some see the loyal hound, one of the dogs you would take out for hunting: the tool, too stupid to understand himself to be one. Others see the mangy street cur, fletching his teeth, scared and angry, looking to fill his starving stomach. And others see the guardian shepard, submissive to the sheep he kills wolves for.

These views of him are either only one side of Henry or downright mischaraterizing him, which makes sense since most of these people don't actually know Henry. Now, if I remember correctly: Hans only compares Henry to a dog during their first hunt together, where he makes him walk behind his horse. A power play, of course, not yet defanged, and an indicator that at this point, Hans doesn't know Henry either.

I will have to rely on my memory for this, which is not the greatest, so I hope I haven't forgotten anything that directly contradicts this read BUT I do think that the dog comparison is a way to push Henry into a limited role, to put him into place, which is why—as the story progresses and he and Hans grow closer, Hans starts to understands Henry as a full person, more of an equal than a dog who heels or bites.

And that is something other's have no chance to understand, ESPECIALLY because Hans clings to every shred of structural control. It seem unthinkable to them that he would let go of the dog he can use in favor of the human behind it. They don't know that Henry is just as much a dog to Hans as Hans is a bird to Henry. Which means: only in name, only to jest, to parody, to make fun of their roles.

'you are a dog to many, loyal, hungry, barking and hollering, but to me, you are more.' and 'you are a bird to many, loud and pompous, colorful and prideful, trapped in a cage when all you want is freedom, but to me, you are more.'

This shared more is hidden behind sarcastic "My Lord"'s and playful "I'll throw you in the stocks"', in the way they know what can hurt the other, in the way they say I care witout those words leaving their lips..

i’ve gone through the entire spectrum of emotions today and maybe even unlocked a new one i have to be deficient in some vitamin

[gayofthefae]

Going through all these scenes and noticing how frequently Mike does something and we don't see his expected emotional reaction to the event until after everyone else's. And the implication there that he's reacting to their reactions.

There was no reason for him to get two reaction shots to the same first kiss in 1x08. The second, when he smiles, would have to be a reaction shot to her smiling.

It was extremely sudden and required unnecessary cutting together to cut away from Mike saying "I love her" SO immediately as they did with ZERO time to show any surprise on his face. We don't see his reaction until we've covered everyone else in the room first.

You know what they say. The tell tale sign of a liar is they're constantly checking to make sure you believe them. Mike is constantly shown in shot order to react to other's reactions. Take their cues on how to behave around the situation. He is consistently seen with a smile fading after the other person looks away.

From the beginning, he has CONSTANTLY been taking the cues of those around him to act off of, constantly trying to convince them of *something*. Hmm...

(that's the thing about immersion in biased POVs. He successfully convinced you for a while, didn't he? I'm glad. He worked really hard at it.)

A few better shots of tonight’s plague doctor costume thanks to a professional photographer at the haunt:

“Now now, whoever said you could go insulting my leaches like that? I’ll have you know Carl is very sensitive and takes their job very seriously.”

Modern au

Manon’s abandonment issues do not only stem from her grandmother constantly going on about replacing her if she’s not good enough and all of that. Like, yes this is something she has lived with her whole life but her grandmother DID abandon her once (just to teach her a lesson as she claimed)

Manon was young, only about 8 or 9 and it was one of those rare times she was riding in the car with her grandmother (just the two of them). The matron drove them through the freeway, and when she stopped at a gas station, she sent Manon inside the store. By the time she walked out of the small store, her grandmother was gone.

There was no sign of the car anywhere, she tried calling her but she never picked up the phone. She just… left her there and went somewhere.

Manon returned home some twelve hours later, the whole thing have shaken her up deeply she just… changed after it. She became more quiet and more reserved. She became more focused on her studies and slowly abandoned any fun activities. She mostly focused on pleasing her grandmother just so that she doesn’t leave her on some free way again.
