#but it doesnt

“I had a dream, though,” I say, thinking back. “I was following a mockingjay through the woods. For a long time. It was Rue, really. I mean, when it sang, it had her voice.” “Where did she take you?” he says, brushing my hair off my forehead. “I don’t know. We never arrived.” I say. “But I felt happy.” ... Peeta pulls the chain with the gold disk from around his neck. He holds it in the moonlight so I can clearly see the mockingjay. Then his thumb slides along a catch I didn’t notice before and the disc pops open. It’s not solid, as I had thought, but a locket. And within the locket are photos. […] “Your family needs you, Katniss,” Peeta says. My family. My mother. My sister. And my pretend cousin Gale. But Peeta’s intention is clear. That Gale really is my family, or will be one day, if I live. That I’ll marry him. So Peeta’s giving me his life and Gale at the same time. To let me know I shouldn’t ever have doubts about it. Everything. That’s what Peeta wants me to take from him. ... He puts the chain with the locket around my neck, then rests his hand over the spot where our baby would be. “You’re going to make a great mother, you know,” he says. ... As I drift off, I try to imagine that world, somewhere in the future, with no Games, no Captiol. A place like the meadow in the song I sang to Rue as she died. Where Peeta’s child could be safe. ....

#the hunger games #everlark #eablog gifs #eablog quotes #i always wondered why they didn't make peetas locket have the mockingay like it does in the book #and the design doesnt have any real significance which is frustrating #it vaguely looks like wheat or i thought for a while it was meant to look like the stained glass in the victors village houses #but it doesnt #putting the mockingjay on it does mean something symbolically though #like hes trying to give her the future he thinks she wants and that the rebellion might bring #but ends up also giving her the pearl which she actually cherishes #kind of by accident just because hes thoughtful which is part of why she loves him #its such a good parallel and would have been an easy visual to carry through so weird that they just didnt? for no real apparent reason? #ALSO HE WANTED TO MATCH HER WHICH IS JUST #theyre a teammm #AND the mockingjay means something different for katniss than everyone thinks #and peeta is one of the only people that seems to understand that? #for her it symbolizes family ties not the rebellion #AND HE PUTS IT ON A LOCKET WITH HER FAMILY IN IT #but she really wants to have a family with him not gale so the mockingjay still does symbolize the future and their family #so him giving it to her is significant but not in the way he thinks #AND its like hes reclaiming the mockingjay for her again in some small way when everyone is taking it for themselves and using it #i actually cannot with them

I'm not at all an expert on gender studies but if you're interested in it at all I HIGHLY recommend you look into oppositional sexism as an issue because I feel like I can see into the fourth dimension of queer discourse now

#spitblaze says things #we SAY that gender is a spectrum and not a binary! and it IS a spectrum! #but too many people still view it as a binary on a social level #like yes your *gender* can be literally anything but what about your *experiences* and *privileges*? those get shoved into 'men' and 'women' #and a lot of people are under the impression that these experiences are Entirely Separate and Cannot Be Compared #which just isnt true! #i feel like we're sort of seeing a weird assertion rn that masculinity in and of itself grants privilege #as in. butch women have some sort of nebulous privilege over femme women #which is uh. not true but DOES come back to oppositional sexism. masculinity makes your experiences inherently different somehow #but it DOESNT

The rot is more advanced than that, I think

Because what the pearl is saying isn't how the rot in general is, but it's creation process.

We also don't know what specific genome it's referring to (presumably a case by case basis?)

Anyhow, pebbles seems to have lost control and now it's mutating

I theorize that it originally was just growing on the walls, then developed touch and tendrils to be able to hunt passing organisms(maybe neurons?) And then eventually developed mobility and hearing to hunt better

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but you can only kill DLLs by hitting their core right? Which implies a brain.

While similar to cancer, at this point the rot is its own species

Oh well I was talking more so about it's origin!

I agree on the case by case basis?? I doubt there's a single rot formula, it's easier to get things wrong than right...

Also things don't need to have a brain to function and exist. I am no expert, but if you rip a tentacle off a jelly fish it feels like it will be fine compared to y'know. Spearing it's center.

The rot is an organism of some kind maybe, but I think a very simple one? I wouldn't call it a species just because of it not being able to live without it's host. It's a part of Pebbles, it's his own body killing him, not an animal.

I do think it probably started out chewing walls before it managed to progress further. Either way it dies out alone it can't reproduce outside of Pebbles really I think.. and we haven't seen it infect other organisms.

Hunter's rot doesn't spread it dies with it and so does Pebbles'.

#ask #dramaticuser #kiki rambles #the rot consumes #if it was an animal #like a parasite #itd look to infect other hosts or whatever #but it doesnt #it just eats and eats and eats #there is no lifecycle there

In tonight's fic offering I will be presenting the concept that the only explicable reason for why Franky's main room of his house is a checkered patterned floor, stage, two balconies, and double doors is that it is, in fact, a club. I'm gonna just need you to take this as fact. It's a club and it's the most popular club in town.

Your honor, that's a club. For dance parties. Far all the partying and dancing they do.

#it's also a non-Euclidean space #so jot that down #the trangenders and the homosexuals throwing raves at the factory??? #yeah that's IT #mozu and kiwi are promoter girls this is just the text #why the fuck else would it look like that #well to have a fight i guess #but if they wanted a factory fight it would look like a factory #but it doesnt #it looks like a CLUB

Bad's death reminds me of a gong I used to play. Not the gong itself, rather, but the string holding it up. It started out fine, but slowly frayed away until it was literal threads holding that thing up. AND THE THREADS KEPT FUCKING HOLDING! That thing would be hit again and again, and I kept expecting it to fall, but it never fucking did! Until one day when I wasn't even playing it. A strong gust of wind came, and it fell all on its own when I least expected it.

#every time you think hes gonna die #NOPE #you see him get worse and think #surely now itll happen #BUT IT DOESNT #until you get used to it being so fragile and weak #you forget how delicate it is #then he dies all on his own

Fucker. Im going insane

#not rrly but i felt the need to say it #2nd bakery in a row had to kaiser buns and I missed my bus. in the worst way where you still click on the button hoping the doors gonna open #but it doesnt #eugh

This poll kills meee the only options for Bakugou in the first one for passing the time being training or sleeping or “annoying” people whereas Izuku gets options where he can like engage in interests (including ones he doesn’t even really have in canon) and then for the second one it’s just Shouto or Kirishima but Izuku gets to be a bird and text or talk to a bunch of different people it’s getting transparent 😭

#Bkdk #There were a few other options for this poll that were like …? To me #Like one that said who likes to go out and every1 voted izuku #I voted neither #Theyre both homebodies #Anyway not to start the #You guys treat one half of this ship weirdly discourse #But you guys treat one half of thi ship weirdly 😭 #Its why i can hardly engage in bkdk fandom #Like u guys dont actually bother to see bkg outside of the ship #Which wouldnt be a problem if it also happened to dk #But it doesnt

Being an ex(ish) supernatural fan is a giant curse because every so often I get the urge to rewatch old episodes that are fun but then i accidentally pass a certain point and it's like oh no this is terrible

#its not just the story being bad 😔 #the fun lighting #the composition of shots #pacing #it all goes rotten #ive tried to rewatch it so many times to finish the series but i cant get past s11 #its so BAD #not even fun bad #every time i think it will get better 😔 #but it doesnt

I fucking HATE my phone and apple and everything ughhhhh

It just randomly decides not to function properly. And it decides not to function properly in the exact same way every single time and I don’t know why there would be a reason for it to break in that way. And I just have to WAIT for it to go away???? I turn my phone off and on again and it will still glitch in the same way

I’m like 95% sure it’s apple trying to get me to buy a new phone

#its an audio glitch #me turning my phone off and on again should fix the problem #but it doesnt #i am SO mad #and before anyone says buy a samsung #im not in control of what brand of phone i have #like i could buy and iphone 11 and no one would care #but it has to be apple otherwise it doesnt fit with the rest of the family #and its SO annoying #louie says shit

idk what traumatized or mentally ill person needs to hear this but dreams (especially the really disturbing ones you dont want to talk about to anybody) arent some deep peek into your psyche or a sign of your True Desires or whatever theyre quite literally your brain making fruit salad with whatever it can find on the shelf. just putting all that shit in a blender and hitting obliterate. its fine, youre fine, youre not a weirdo for it

sending your friends terrible tumblr posts is a love language

#i dont get to see their reactions but imagining them is fulfilling enough #comic #idk how to tag this. its not a text post but it doesnt fit in my art tag #o well

his smile and optimism…….gone………

#halflings being treated so horribly and being used as bait and him making a union so others dont get treated as badly as he did. ourgh #no wonder hes defensive and doesnt trust people. it makes me tear my hair out #my silly little rabbit………… #chilchuck tims #dunmeshi

Favorite bit of adventurers bible lore is that Marcille was a researcher developing new healing magic before she joined the party but then learned all the offensive spells we see her use in a single day. Insane behavior. Imagine knowing the top med student in the country and one day she drops out of her cancer research program and perfects the art of making pipe bombs in 24 hours.

#the party canonically doesnt care but it would be funny to see other characters reactions #shes a genius shes insane she stopped her magical studies to hang out with her childhood crush #marcille donato #dungeon meshi #dunmeshi #dungeon meshi spoilers

Put salt in your baked goods. Put salt in your desserts. Just do it. Please. Salt isn't just for savory, it's literally a flavor enhancer so even a pinch can take a meh recipe to one people can't stop eating. Listen to me. Your cookies and cheesecake bars are bland and uninteresting. I'm taking your hand. I'm guiding you with a gentle touch to the back. We can do this together. Trust me.

#baking #just do it just put THE SALT IN THE COOKIE DOUGH #inspired by the coworker who bragged her recipes dont need salt and brought the blandest cheesecake bars to the potluck #you need some salt i promise #just a little #just skooch #'the recipe doesnt call for salt' THEN ITS PROBABLY WRONG
