I'll never agree with the short Peeta/tall Katniss takes because their canonical sizes are both narratively and thematically relevant.

Peeta's medium height and stocky build give him the size and strength to overpower most of his competitors in the arena, yet he rarely uses those traits to hurt people despite being in circumstances that encourage violence. Having the power and motive to be deadly and choosing to be kind instead is what defines Peeta's character.

Katniss's small size generally puts her at a disadvantage in the Games but she's still very deadly. I like that she's earned the skills (bow and arrow, hunting) and survivor mentality that make her a formidable tribute because she's not supposed to be this naturally gifted "chosen one" type figure. She's a regular teenage girl who has some special qualities but still needs a lot of help to win the Games.

Their size difference is also relevant in their relationship. Katniss has had to take care of herself since she was a young girl because of her mother's neglect, and as a result she doesn't trust other people to protect her. She's understandably mistrustful of Peeta's kindness when they become tributes, as one of them has to die for the other to live and he has the ability to kill her with his bare hands if he wants to (which we see later on when he's hijacked). Yet once they become allies, his larger size is no longer a potential threat but a source of comfort and protection; being held by him is the safest Katniss has felt with anyone since her parents held her as a little kid. And after they leave the arena, his strong arms are the only ones she trusts to guard her from her nightmares.

So even though I do think short guy-tall girl couples deserve more rep, it doesn't really make sense for Peeta and Katniss. And tbh viewing the gentle and compassionate boy as short and the tough hunter girl as tall is a little stereotypical lol.

I desperately need to know if this is a thing but hear me out. An au where the Archie comics, sabrina the teenage witch, and scooby doo all inhabit the same universe, archie and fred will be himbos together, shaggy and jughead could be eating burgers together and likely smoke weed. Sabrina could accidentally be after the same thing as the scooby gang. just i need to read fanfictions with this premise so badly.

Wanted to add this to it.

The character sheet designed by me.

Hate america but wanna celebrate the 4th of july?

I made this TTRPG just to do something with my friends thats simple and easy and fun to learn and is relatively vague so you can adapt it for your own campaign. It's less of a TTRPG and more like just a bare-bones system that while isn't that detailed is meant to be enough to just have fun and wing it. And its especially good for making stories that criticize the military complex and how it eats people and shits them out with no care. So in all other words here's my system, Shellshock.

My man probably had some alien shrooms and became a nudist, seems like a chill dude

my favorite genre of alien picture is little grey aliens just naked in the woods like why the fuck are you here. you have a spaceship. why did you come to earth to just stand in the woods and look at us with no clothes

Oh my god yes, i keep people mentioning the retcon and it's like. No thats not at all what they're doing! And this is coming from someone who loves new vegas and finds it one of their favorite games. But like, yeah you're right they didn't retcon it and they're just being wierd. I also see a lot of people mad about the "Ghoul drug" that Cooper is seen taking and like, i always thought it was radaway even though radiation can heal ghouls, cause like maybe the radiation while healing still rots their mind and radaway is a sort of way to deal with it.

This is hilarious to think about, but i love that so many fallout fans hate the Fallout TV show. And complains that it butchers the lore of the originals and shit like that. Tim Cain, The fucking creator of fallout, someone who has all the right to tear into it or whatever. He fucking liked it and made a review of it. https://youtu.be/7bFBLAbwMA0?si=w53xLPmD0gXsN1Jr
