I saw a post that said "percy jackson is like the hufflepuff of fandoms because everyone's super nice and other people think we're silly" and i thought it was ironic, because one of my friends had told me a while ago that the pjo fandom has a big misogyny problem and we're the least aware of it.
Katniss *thinking about the Mockingjay pin*: Wow this was Madge’s aunt’s, what a precious and valuable family heirloom, it must have been special to her, I’ll treasure it forever.
Maysilee *thinking about the Mockingjay pin*: this bird is ugly and stupid I’m literally never going to wear this.
so we all agree this was made for yun, right?
love myself a cockroach of a character. i look at them and go ”how is that fucker not dead? they should be dead. they should be dead ten times over. how are they not?” and 90% of the time the answer is a combo of sheer stubborness and homosexuality
My brain has been full of Dan Heng dynamics lately. Dan Heng is running out of hands for all these men he's pulling.
He's got a traumatic kill or be killed situationship with his past life's ex husband
He's got a general who was crushing on his last life now re-meeting and re-crushing anew on him
He's got some guy (or gal) he picked up off the ground on the space station with a bomb in his chest who keeps bringing him literal trash and stealing books and burrowing into his heart
And now he's got a depressed cyborg cowboy criminal with a swearing problem on that ride or die attitude for him and trying to ride him about it now that they've gotten past the classic held at gunpoint greeting.
Unmatched rizz, and he asked for none of it.
My favorite headcanon is that Lucy Gray, Lenore Dove, and Katniss look almost exactly the same, but not in an easily definable way like having the same hair, eyes, etc. It's probably facial structure and vibes, and President Snow goes insane about it routinely because he *knows* they're all related but can't just point to a picture and immediately explain why.
this might be controversial, but i had another conversation about the japanese with my friends actually. it was about japanese colonization of indonesia and their treatment of korea. also how they fucked over a lot of countries in ww2...one of them said something along the lines of "The US doesn't teach about negative Japanese history because we sent Japanese Americans to concentration camps and nuked their islands twice. So now we're only fed propoganda."
sunrise on the reaping raises an incredibly important ethical question: how many generations does it take to erase history, to the point of blind, unquestioning acceptance?
i fear the answer is far fewer than any of us are comfortable with.
wlw mlm/mln hostility real
i actually love this idea so much and it simultaneously breaks my heart
As i am rereading tbosas i had a thought that Maysilee and Wyatt were doomed in every narrative. Had they lived during the First Quarter Quell timeline, when district citizens chose their own tributes, they would have been reaped as well.
So we're supposed to choose our own tributes, huh? How about that meanest girl in town, Maysilee Donner, who moves around the town looking down at us, flaunting her jewellery and money? Well, you're in for a surprise Miss Donner, all the money cant buy you power over us. Who's the superior one now, Miss Donner? Good luck in the games.
And how about we teach that old Jethro Callow a thing or two about betting on seam kids? Lets see how willing he is to bet when it's his own son that is in the game. The son is likely involved in the betting as well, so no innocent life is being sacrificed in the process.
Meanwhile as soon as they were given a chance, both Maysilee and Wyatt reverted the expectations. The "meanest girl in town" taking care of all the underdogs in the games, being an older sister and showing great care for them when nobody else would, and the "heartless" booker boy sacrificing his chances for a person he barely knew. A true don't judge a book by its cover.
i wrote a song inspired by sunrise on the reaping cause it destroyed me
"isn't it unrealistic that every time some rebellion shit goes on in District 12 it's someone related to or connected to Lucy Gray" no because Snow committed the cardinal sin of dating someone from a big family in a small town
let me be good at math
