“Coryo only cared about Lucy Gray’s survival for his own selfish reasons”

Coryo thinking about Lucy Gray’s survival:

Before any thought of his own well-being or the incumbent threat of his family’s imminent homelessness, comes Coryo’s desire to help Lucy Gray survive the Games. Those worries don’t negate the sincerity of his intentions towards Lucy Gray, just like Katniss cared both about the survival of her family and keeping Peeta alive. Personal, ‘selfish’ needs can and do coexist with altruistic ones in most people. Not to mention that Snow being willing to do anything to ensure his and his family’s survival doesn’t scream villainous mastermind. He’s an underdog whose only concern is staving off hunger and doing a good enough job to achieve some sense of security.

His determination to keep Lucy Gray alive is born out of gratitude, honor as well as selfless love. Coryo’s motivation here is entirely altruistic: he risks everything he has at stake (his reputation, his chance to save his family from ignominy and hunger, his entire future) to give Lucy Gray a bigger chance at survival.

If it had only been a matter of getting the Plinth money, he would’ve focused all his efforts on endearing himself to the Plinths (as he ends up doing at the end of the story). On the contrary, violating the Academy rules and basically challenging the purpose of the Hunger Games could only result in Coryo’s fall from grace.

It’s not the cheating itself, but the circumstance that he did so for the love of one of the tributes that lands Coryo in exile. If he’d cheated simply to show off or for any other selfish reason, you can bet his punishment wouldn’t have been as extreme. Dr Gaul sees how having a soft spot for Lucy Gray will eventually compromise his allegiance to the Capitol: it’s one mistake that cannot be tolerated in the future elite of Panem.

#helloo he chose lucy gray over the capitol and therefore he had to be punished #this is why that scene in the movie where highbottom tells coryo he’ll never win the plinth prize worked so well #bc it externalises something book!coryo had also decided: aka that it wasn’t about the money at all #his sole motivation for cheating was giving lucy gray a chance to survive #bc he was grateful that she’d saved his life and he had fallen in love with her #he knew that he could’ve gotten the money in other ways (and in fact does so by the end of the book) #snowbaird #coriolanus snow #lucy gray baird #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #tbosas #the hunger games #thg

Could you elaborate on how do you use overlay layer?

sure! it's pretty straight forward, i sometimes add a layer on top with either this sort of warm orange color (or blue or red or yellow) set on the "overlay" blending mode.. sometimes on "multiply" i just play around with them it's not a very strict process

#not sure how familiar you are with digital art #but it's a pretty common practice #that's how you make colors pop more #this and just taking advantage of your medium aka digital #if you can correct colours with adjustment layers then go for it #ask iztea #some people call this cheating but i think they are unbelievably stupid or snobs

So with it being canon that the Rise turtles find it absolutely disgusting and embarrassing to know that their dad had a dating life and gag when hearing him talk about lovey dovey stuff…

I wanna see their reactions of meeting their 2012 counterparts and seeing how they all are just like their father, talking so lovey dovey about their crushes/girlfriends.

#rise Donnie bashes 2012 Donnie for being a hardcore simp #rise Mikey befriends Renet but learns of 2012s cheating incident #enter dr delicate touch #rise Raph is surprised his 2012 self got a beautiful badass warrior gf #he befriends Mona and is kinda jelly #and rise leo is in horror #seeing his 2012 self crushing on gram gram aka his sister #so he helps him find someone new #also Cassandra and Donnie are shocked seeing their 2012 self in a love triangle with april #random thoughts #rottmnt #rise of the tmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #tmnt 2012 #tmnt #teenage mutant ninja turtles #crossover

the whole ariana grande and ethan slater mess just proves my ongoing theory that even though everyone assumes that it’s attractive men you have to worry about trusting in relationships - in reality it’s the medium ugly ones that you have to really look out for. medium ugly men will live with you, marry you, have a baby with you, and then as soon as another woman throws him even a crumb of positive attention will gladly drop you like a hot potato with zero remorse or second thoughts

#ariana grande #ethan slater #here’s my theory: #medium ugly men were the ones bullied in school and have a SEVERE inferiority complex and crave any type of validation #whether by becoming a bully themselves as adults (aka weird internet men) or viciously cheating on their partners #also as a side note #I think as a part of their divorce agreement ethans ex wife should be aloud to dress him up in honey and feathers and beat him like a piñata #and then their kid is aloud to do the same thing in 17 years #just as a treat for them

Decided to do some rough perspective setting practice inspired by @neonghostcat's Cultivate fic bc ONCE AGAIN it is still holding my brain hostage. Ive already reread it. Its a problem.

jk It's probably a good thing bc I only really know how to use irl paints so if this inspires me to get better at digital painting tools to do more backgrounds then thats even better!

Anyways this is my interpretation of the courtyard based on the map provided, so it's likely not to scale lol. And also i threw the lads in there for funsies so its not based on any particular scene. PLEASE go read this fic its so good im begging on my hands and knees, I'd link it if i knew how but i literally dont lmao

Lunar, to a random Karen: Shut up you bitchass hoe, take your fucking kid and go back home to your husband who cheats on you and has three other families because he can’t stand to share a bed with you anymore!

Blood Moon: *wiping tears* I’m so proud.

I painted it! Probably my best attempt at a Darling yet/ the one that lives in my head 75% of the time

(No glasses version under break )

[halfthebrain]

on the other hand, him caring about this boytoy so much is also inexplicably a miraculous thing. the way he transformed so completely from Mr I Work Alone to Mr I Won't Work Without Him.

oh that boytoy is a good thing but by god at what COST

Absolutely! You’re so right but apparently the cost was worth it to Harvey hahah.

I’ll never not be insane about how Mike just dug his heels into Harvey’s heart and he went: oh well, I’ll risk everything I have ever valued for him!

#marvey #anon ask #his job #jessica’s friendship #his principles #perjury #hiring Katrina #GOING TO PRISON #only thing left was being involved in an affair with a married person aka letting Mike cheat on Rachel with him #like that would be the last insane thing he could’ve done because of Mike

A little something like this, right?

#From memory for the most part #I've drawn these characters more times than I expected 😂 #I cheated and fixed a few things when I went to pick colors (and then didn't even use them) #Idk I felt nostalgic and decided to crank out a few bugs #Lesse... What stories do I got. It's been a while so I have quite the selection #Oh jdbdjvskhff my dog died from cancer of all things. Like seriously what the heck #While we were recovering I jokingly mentioned something about getting another rescue dog #Within the WEEK we had a pomeranian in our house. A pomeranian. 16 pounds. Pomeranian. #See the reason I mentioned it at all was to give our other dog- Tiger the 11(?) yr old maltipoo- company in his twilight years. #You know. Maybe another old pooch like Lucky that was chill and kind #And now we have Rudy aka SPITFIRE #He's fun though! I like him. He's always smiling and it warms my heart. I swear I can walk out of the house for an hour #and he'll greet my like I've been gone for years every single time #What else. Oh lol so I'm taking care of my neighbor's house for two weeks #A wwwk in and the cat decides to RUN OFF. In the middle of a THUNDERSTORM. #36 hrs later and I'm like aight this isn't great #After posting notices online etc I was sitting around and thought to myself something kinda dumb #See he likes listening to me play on their grand piano. They never use it but I do and the cat always lays at my feet while I jam #So I thought... what if I pied piper the cat home. So I threw open all the doors #And played for oh idk 20 min? #CAT WALKS IN. SITS ON THE FLOOR BESIDES ME #Cats. I stg #Eh that's all for now I'm sleeby #hollow knight #art tag #See ya!

Started my next painting! Designed the rough layout of the house, farm plots, and beehive digitally and then printed it out with a picture of a cat and a blue jay over the top. Traced that onto the sketchpad and then sketched everything else over the top!

Should be a nice autumnal Stardew Valley scene once it's done! 😁 I'm really pleased with how the sketch looks, so I really hope I don't fuck it up when I start doing the acrylic hahaha

(Narrator: "she absolutely would ruin it with colour")

#stardew valley #sdv #sdv fanart #oh man oh man i really REALLY want this one to be good #not just because stardew holds such a special place in my heart #but also because its the first one that would be a mix of freehand sketch and tracing #aka it will look good but not feel like cheating #if i fuck this one up im painting another pinup girl #nothing like a big tiddy lady to make you feel better about your failures #syreid posts

I will never ever get over the fact that season 3 spent time on the most useless plot/character moment ever: aka showing KAREN WHEELER so close to cheating on her partner that she does not romantically love, with WILLIAM HARGROVE- until she ultimately decides not to for the sake of her family. All while Mike is acting like this (see pictures) the whole season, to another........ William.

#they really gave a cheating story to a character who is totally inconsequential to the plot beyond being an influence on her kids #aka the ones that ACTUALLY affect the plot and have holistic characterizations #no really #what else was the point of that #it wasnt even for the sake of comedy like it was portrayed seriously and all it did was make karen look creepy #which is an insane move since she's supposed to be a more or less caring mom to the MAIN CHARACTER #this is like one of those byler proofs that totally laughable until you realize there is no other plausible explanation #unless the writers were just throwing whatever the fuck they wanted into S3 with absolutely zero thought behind it #byler

Six Sentence Sunday

Trent shifted in the seat next to Roy. He prayed the journalist didn’t say anything. The last thing he needed now was someone writing a book about his fucking mental breakdown.

Fuck.

Trent was writing a book about the season.

Sometimes it feels like ppl overcomplicate things by trying to make it into a unifying theory anyway attachment in star wars means it’s religious meaning not relationships but jedi also don’t do relationships the ‘normal’ way because they are monks and this is basic monk stuff, what have you got against monks living their monk lives anyway

#attachment discourse #would it be helpful to say that Anakin was practice metaphysical non-consensual non-monogamy #*practicing #aka he cheat

[amastelaire]

My favorite french saying probably has to be "avec des si, on mettrais Paris en bouteille", not because it's some wacky translation (still judging that "raining cats and dogs" thing britain) but because what it means I something I tend to forget lol.

It would roughly translate to "with 'what if' we could bottle up Paris" and basically means that if you try to imagine every scenario, you will end up fearing things that are so unlikely to happen, but you convince yourself are real (Paris in a bottle) and invite you to instead stop overcomplicating your problems, no need to go over every "what if" scenario, else you'll end up bottling yourself up.

Anyway that's just another reason why french language best language (I am actively ignoring the nonsense that is french grammar)

#yeah but more seriously french has a lot of myltilayered metzphorical expression #that you tend to not think about because it's reduced to a common saying #like “tombé des nues” that started by meaning “nuages” (so falling from the clouds #aka you fucked up while at the top and now the floor will hit harder and the fall will be long) #but the evolution of language made it so “nues” more easily refer to nudity #as if you lost all your credibility because of a single mistake #which drama because of nude photos/poliamorous relations weren't uncomon and probably helped this version prevail #since you had “tombé des nues” after nude photos leaked or your cheatings were revealed

Lunar: So then Tara said Damian slept with John. But, get this. Lillian’s been dating Jon for six months and Damian and Tara have been dating for a year.

Harvest Moon: Oh my god.

Lunar: Yeah, exactly! So Tara went on a date with Lillian two months ago.

Harvest Moon: Oooooooh! Get her, Tara!

Lunar: Get this, Tara proposed to Lillian yesterday. And I got an invite to the wedding for telling her her boyfriend was cheating on her with her best friend’s boyfriend.

Harvest Moon: See? This is why I visit. We don’t get drama like this at home. Our drama is ‘are we playing family game night or is Dad going to make him and Mom late again’.
