TBOSAS has me thinking about how Finnick was likely one of the only people alive who knew even some of the story of what happened in the 10th Hunger Games and after. It’s apparent that Snow or the Capitol in general buried any record of the 10th games and Lucy Gray to save face.
However, who knew all of Snow’s darkest secrets and dirty laundry? Finnick. It’s reasonable to assume he probably learned at least part of the story. Not only that but Mags won the 11th games, directly after Lucy Gray’s Games. It is canon that there wasn’t much coverage of the games in the districts but I’m sure even if she didn’t watch them there were likely rumors about it during the next game. And when Snow reappeared as the president she likely remembered his role. And as Finnick’s mentor and mother figure she probably told him a lot.
There’s no real point to this information but I just think it’s very interesting that despite how hard Snow worked to bury his past it probably still lived on. And despite his efforts to control, oppress, and abuse the victors, it was one of these victors who knew his dark past. It was one of the people he tried to control that eventually gained an upper hand over him and helped play a big role in his downfall.
i’m just now watching the donut rating video (let me live) and matt’s little happy dance for each donut he likes makes me want to rip my skin off he’s the cutest person alive i hate it here
sometimes (every single day) i think abt how everyone around aran connects his identity to volleyball. the coaches, the spectators, even his teammates who still mean well. they all see him as one of the top five aces in the country, and the ones who judge him see him as the lowest in the ranking. good, but never quite good enough.
and then kita comes along. he observes everything, and knows exactly what aran’s capable of. and he also knows how much pressure he’s under and how easy it is for him to get into his own head. and when that happens, kita is the one who’s there. no disapproval, just seeing and understanding. he sees aran for the person he is, both on and off the court.
kita didn’t fall in love with one of the top five aces. he fell in love with aran
Who asks about leveling up at the end of almost every session, even if the encounter only involved tripping over a rock in sight of a skittish Deku scrub and scaring the poor fella away?
thinking about how if Rimmer sees Ace as the 'perfect' version of him, meanwhile insinuating that Ace and Lister are a couple (or about to be), then Rimmer's ideal self and life goal is being in love with Lister (and having that love reciprocated)
Gods au but all relevant characters (the 141) are just normal humans
Ghost who believes in faith-god. Unwaveringly so. But it's only because he's hunting. Hunting who? Hunting God. Ghost wants to bitch god on his knees. And he is VERY loud about it.
Price is just glad the he is able to stop his delusional son lieutenant from fighting inanimate objects
...... and because I can never not make it ghoap (😒) Soap is also looking for a specific god to fight (or to beg). He doesn't know which one, he supposed it is sickness. See- he has a sister. A very pregnant sister who is also very ill. And doctors say her prospects don't look good. And soap IS NOT going to lose them.
Ghost helps soap, soap helps ghost. Maybe the gods have mercy on them, maybe they don't, who knows
Ok i know there is a section of fandom for ghostroach
But if you give roach the little brother dynamic to him, and slap ghost's ass you get top tier nuisance roach comedy as he tries to wingman him into getting head from soap
