"There's No Upsetting Me - There's Little Life Left In The Seabed."

Moon with clouds is always a favorite of mine ☁️🌕

Derivakat's music has only gone up in quality since the dsmp days and I wish people recognized her more than just "white streak in my hair now" (as fantastic as that song is). Here are some of my favorite tracks rn:

Castaway - space vibes, introspective but intense, perfect for a main character

Yru - intense orchestral, beautiful lyrics, reaching for something more, longing for someone, crank-it and scream-it music

Fall - doomed lovers, that intense longing, like a clock as fate ticks down

Boom - giving Jinx (Arcane), great for fast-paced scenes, definitely would make a sick fight scene, back beat slaps

Reign - villain arc, gaslight gatekeep girlboss time

Her recent stuff has screamed ꜱᴘᴀᴄᴇ and I will get people to see it.

The only problem with watching good media is realizing that your story now has to make as much sense as it does—

Aka I’m plotting books rn and it’s hard

#literature is a conversation and a connection to our world and it's such a pleasure to be able to dip your toes into it

i love reading, i love thinking about what i am currently reading, i love thinking about what i am going to read next, i love being privileged enough to be able to read, read, read, and read so much that i never tire of it

find comfort in envisioning the end

I watch where the moon soars across the sky and kiss the trails it leaves behind.

thoughts on watching

See The Glory by Steven Curtis Chapman (a classic from my childhood that made me fall in love with music)

everyday I look at other people's art and I cry a little because I want the result but I don't know how to get there

I have finally read and watched through the Hunger Games (and am currently reading Ballad) so here are some of my thoughts because this series has me in a chokehold:

had never heard how detailed the PTSD is in this series??? the amount of description and panic written into not only what Katniss is feeling but also what Peeta and other background characters are feeling is incredible. we need more PTSD representation in literature, but this was a perfect way to do it

Finnick. like hands down one of the best characters in the series and then him just dying I am unwell

on the same topic of favorite characters, Haymitch. no, I haven't read Sunrise yet (and I'm terrified) but man. I love how the books have Katniss's snarky opinion of him at first, but the movies show how genuinely concerned he was for both her and Peeta. Best man, I will never turn down a father/daughter duo

Katniss's mother. I will go on a whole rant about her because she's so fascinating to me.

Katniss not being the actual rebel leader, rather just a girl being dragged along in something she can't control

the similarities between the Capital and 12 - they are the same in a way: both using Katniss to achieve their political goals

the amount of despair in Prim's death, knowing from the very beginning it didn't matter. she was always going to die, and Katniss wasn't able to save her. The reality of war is heavy

the worldbuilding: from the districts to the mutts, I love how subtle and yet how crucial everything is. just enough detail to satisfy, but just enough room to expound upon

Katniss.

Peeta.

the fact that, just like the actual Hunger Games, the Hunger Games series was simplified to a love triangle and not the political commentary that it was meant to be. the fact that the Hunger Games are happening now, in our own country, and only we can decide how we will face it

Collins knows what she's doing and I wish I could be half the author she is

let’s try the tumblr thing
