phrasing something in a demanding, passive aggressive, nasty way, acting like you are the Official Fandom Police™, and devaluing the creative work of writers in fandom is NOT the way you get people to listen to you.
also maybe don't clog up the one piece x reader tag with posts that aren't x reader related while you're at it :)

Its so joever for me bruh im 18 with no friends no job not in school no hobbies no goals no achievements
#whenever i go outside i feel so incredibly uncomfortable like everyone is staring at me and laughing at me i cant even walk normally#and i was legitametly getting stared at when i went to college so its not like im just paranoid or something#i probably am actually getting stared at and made fun of just like i was in college#i think i look worse then i think i do and that makes me so sad lol#i know im ugly but sometimes i see myself and think maybe i dont look TOO bad or at least when i lose weight i wont look so bad#but maybe im just irredeemably ugly and nothing can fix it#why else would people stare at me im unremarkable at best#im not tall or super underweight and i dont dress weird i do everything i possibly can to fade into the background#so why do people stare at me#the only logical answer is that im just incredibly ugly#so my life is basically just over lol#i know people dont want to talk to me but i figured it was just because im quiet so i pushed myself to be more talkative and outgoing#but obviously that didnt work so it must just be cause im ugly#thats why people stare at me#i guess if i get to a low enough weight at least the stares will be about my body and not my face#that would be a little better i think#when i was growing up all i hoped for was that i would live a normal life once i grew up#i dont even care about leaving a mark on the world or being some important person anymore#i just want to feel content with my life for once man#i havent been happy with myself or my life since i was twelve years old#all ive done since then is fail my parents and fail myself#i know im a disappointment to them no matter what they say ive seen theyre text messages and i see the way they treat me#im nothing but a waste of money and time#and to top it off i look like a fucking ogre#all i ever wanted was to be happy with myself. i cant even live up to my own expectations.#i will never amount to anything

You ever just watch a cheesy 90s family sitcom to fall asleep and get absolutely blindsided by how fucked up your own childhood was?

you want to get better at kissing, so you ask your friend ellie to give you some tips
fluff ? i guess. modern au
"how do you kiss someone?"
ellie looks at you "what?"
"do you have some tricks?" you asks
the past few months had been rough, the cold winter burned the cheeks of everyone, red noses and big scarfs were the last fashion tendency in campus. for the last few days you were drown in warm and cozy clothes, swimming through hot chocolate and watching christmas movies.
today wasn't the exception. after your last class of the day, you went to ellie's dorm and you both watched a movie in her laptop, ellie handing you her cup of hot chocolate every once in a while.
"what? no" she replies
"then how do you do it?"
"why are you asking me that? you kissed people before"
you roll your eyes "yeah, when i was like twelve years old" you make a disgusted face at remember that "he licked all my face"
ellie laughs
"i dont know. i kiss like everyone else"
"all the girls in my class talk about how you kiss them"
ellie furrows her eyebrows "i kissed one of your classmates?"
you roll your eyes "it would be easier to answer who you didn't kiss ellie"
"what is that supposed to mean?"
"i don't know" you shrug "do you have some tips for me?"
"avoid the excess of tongue"
"ellie!"
"okay sorry!" she says, thinking "i don't know. im not an expert"
"you kissed a lot of girls"
"so?"
"that means that you know something i don't!"
"how to flirt maybe"
you throw a pillow in her face, your cheeks getting red in anger "forget it"
you place your eyes in the movie again, seeing scenes and hearing dialogues but not really paying attention. you were swimming in a pool were the water was made of thoughts and questions.
"i can show you" you heard ellie say after a couple of minutes.
you swim to the top of the pool, getting out. "what?" you replie
she shrugs, her eyes still on the movie "only if you want"
you watch the laptop again, trying to process ellie's words.
"wouldn't that be weird?" you asks
"it doesn't have to be" she says and in her stomach a bunch of butterflys fight eachothers "it's for educational purposes"
you laugh softly, your fingers playing with the seam of your sweather "okay"
ellie finally looks at you "yeah?"
you nod, a funny smile resting in your face "okay" she says and moves the laptop away, making space as she taps her lap "here"
your eyes go wide "what?"
"what? i thought you wanted me to show you"
"yeah" you say "i just didn't know i have to sit in you"
"oh" she says, her cheeks getting red "you don't have to. sorry"
you nod slowly. an awkward silence sits between both of you.
after a few seconds, you start to move towards her. she offers her hand and you take it. your knees swim in the sea of blankets as you follow the path to her body.
your mind is fuzzy when you sit in her legs, her hands resting in your hip "okay" you sigh
"you okay?" she asks, looking in your eyes some answer
"yeah" you nod "you are warm"
ellie laughs and her vibrations resonate in her body, making your body shift slightly. you hold back a whimper with the faint suspicion that you shouldn't feel that way.
"im gonna kiss you now" she announces, you nod "just follow my lead"
"follow your lead" you repeat, your hands in her shoulders "got it"
ellie grabs your face with a soft grip, moving it gently to her lips.
you take a deep breath when for the first time ever she places her lips over yours. she leaves them there for a couple of seconds, warming your own before continuing. you feel her other hand caressing your waist over your tick hoddie.
ellie's kiss is soft and sweet, her lips moving against yours with such tenderness. you try to follow her, frustrated with your own inexperience "relax" she murmurs "no one is rushing us"
you try to relax. you direct your hands towards her neck, unconsciously caressing her skin with your thumb and gaining a few shivers on her part. you laugh softly, breaking the kiss as ellie laughs too "you got me there" she says, her breath hitting your lips "you want to keep going?"
you smile against her lips as you realize that you both were talking in whispers, like children sharing a secret "yes" you whisper, and this time you start the kiss.
you feel more confident now, opening your mouth a bit. ellie takes that as an invitation and turns the kiss in something deeper, moving her hand to your jaw.
you shiver as you kiss her back the same way, this time more hungry, less delicate. ellie handles your face the way she wants, moving it to the side to deepen her assault on your mouth.
you feel your breath getting louder as the seconds pass, her grip getting stronger in your body. you shift in her lap, your chest against hers , chasing that proximity and more.
the moment ellie slips her tongue in your mouth you moan softly, breaking the kiss "sorry" you murmur, completely embarrassed
"too much?" she asks, placing a strand of hair behind your ear.
you shake your head "i just didn't expect it" you replie "what should i do if someone wants tongue?"
ellie ignores the needle of jealousy that pinch her at thinking about someone else kissing you "it's up to you. if you like kissing with tongue and the other person too then go ahead"
"i don't know if i like it" you make a face "it's kinda weird"
on impulse, ellie replies "do you want to keep trying?" you look at her "to see if you like it, i mean" she adds, awkward.
you hide a smile and nod, feeling ellies mouth the very next second, wasting no time.
this time she does the tongue thing again and you decided that you like it. it's all wet and warm, and a bit weird at first, but ellie plays with your mouth in a way that makes you melt.
her hands navegate over the waist of your hoddie, trying to move you closer to her. you hug her by the neck, your fingers ghosting over her hair.
in the kiss, a weird feeling invades you. you feel weird, weird of kisssing your friend like this, of being sitting in her legs, of liking it. ellie grabs you and touch your face and kiss you and when she touch the exposed skin of your hip you realize that this wasn't a practice anymore.
"ellie" your murmur with agitated breath
and she understands, leaving your lips "sorry" her lips are red and swollen
you make an awkward smile and get off her lap, instantly missing her warm essence. you see how ellie plays with her fingers, nervous
you watch the laptop, the movie still on. outside is snowing. you feel warmth in places that you shouldn't.
"how did i do it?" you ask playfully, trying to lighten the atmosphere
ellie catch your intention and shrug her shoulders, making a funny face "i had better"
you laugh and push his shoulder lightly, pulling the blankets off her bed "i say the same thing"
"yeah, i bet that boy from when you were twelve kissed you better" she jokes and you throw a pillow to her face one more time.

This applies to warhammer as well (and I have been kind of guilty of it too).
There is this reverence for people who have been in the hobby for a long time that is just undeserved. So many of these guys act like they are loremasters just because they have read the same twelve memes over and over again for twenty years.
Im here for the lore, I looooove the stories. And I much rather talk to a noob who has the spirit and passion about 40k than the old bitter dude with nothing interesting to say.
So if you feel like you are a noob and dont really inow much, that is ok. The journey is so much more exciting then getting stuck in the mud and refusing to move :D
Tell me about something you recently found out about 40k, it doesnt matter if its new, just that it was new to you.

PUT MY NAME ON IT, NOW IT DESIGNER. 1
New message!
“girl you gon call me or what?”
it made you roll your eyes. hakari always didnt like if you didnt respond right away, assuming something was wrong and you were in trouble or mad at him, that was a pro and con of him.
you started typing, making sure to turn off the notifications or sounds coming from your phone. you would occasionally look up to see your current boyfriend, sinji, still focused on the damn game… like always.
you readjusted your bonnet, finally pressing send.
Message sent!
“what do you want? cant call rn.”
you felt your heart drop to your ass when he immediately started typing, fucking creep. you couldnt call him– not with sinji right infront of you and not to hakari. the hell could he possibly want at … eleven thirty-two at night?
New message!
“ite, but call me l8tr.”
yeah, absolutely not.
. . . . .
maybe you shouldve called him, because for the past two days he had called you and only to have seventeen voicemails from him. if you had given him a chance you wouldve found it as a turn on. but knowing history, history.
“so, did cha call him?” maki asked, leaning in close to you. you never know why she asks even if she doesnt like hakari. but she could be very nosey.
“uh oh, boy drama!” gojo chimed, “well— whats his naaameee?” that damn idiot satoru.
you tuned everything out, only having to be pestered by he himself. you shut down your phone, needing a break from it anyway. you owned your own apartment, which was good, until it wasnt. you walked in to only see your boyfriend had left, which was fortunate and unfortunate, knowing sinji had only came over cause you had the good wifi and food. so you debated, call or not? you finally said fuck it. powering your phone back on and then taking a shower to relax first.
the hot water running down your hair and skin was always what relaxed you the most, nerves going away and settling until you prepared yourself for the worse and hoped for the best. throwing on a old oversized shirt and hopping into the bed, you pressed the call button.
ring!
ring!
you heard shuffling and bassbooted music in the back, and somewhat of yelling.
“look who’s pretty ass decided to call me.” hakari always called you pretty. no matter if you were throwing up or throwing a tantrum, as he would call it, no matter what.
“you said you wanted to talk, so talk.” you held a straight face, only trying to fight away the memories of what used to be your relationship.
“ill assume you heard about me dropping out and being some gambler or whatever, havent you mama?” he chuckled, waiting for you.
“sure, and dont call me mama, i have a whole—“ he interrupted you.
“yeah yeah yeah, your lil’ boyfriend or something.” he finished for you, immediately growing annoyed at the thought of you being with someone that wasnt him. “anyways, you’ll be getting your money back, and its been tripled.” what?
“you do realize its been a little over a year since that happened.” you deadpanned.
“its better than ten. i promised you didnt i?” hakari deadpanned back, matching you always. “i always keep my promises. you know that.” he stated.
“okay, good to know. anything else?” you tried to hurry the call, hoping to hop off of it. you heard him laughing in the back, calming himself.
“always, im inviting you to my club, you got till the end of the week or imma just have someone escort you here. got business to talk about.” hakari said, adding that onto your plate.
“so you deadlining me now?”
“you damn right.”
“ill think on it. now get off my phone.” you said, rolling your eyes.
he chuckled, exhaling. “hope to see you soon, babydoll.”
call ended!
you rubbed your face in your hands, that went better than expected? putting your phone on the charger and laying there, you should have not been on edge, but it was hakari, and you felt your phone vibrate. what time had it been? twelve o five.
for hakari, he knows how to wire transfer, infact pretty well.
“make sure it gets to her, or imma fuck yall up. dont make me repeat myself.” hakari warned, leaning back against his soft couch watching some fight he placed a bet on. he puffed out smoke from the joint he held, only waiting.
“its been transferred, kinji.” the words exactly he wanted to hear. “she’s gonna get it by twelve o five.”
by twelve o five, a hundred and fifty thousand had been transferred to your account.
repost, reblogs, shares, and tags are so welcomed.

Tumblr media
Sweetheart: Homestuck is for true warriors. Those who have been heartbroken so many time they dont know how to feel or see anymore. Homestuck is for those who have experienced true pain yet still push through knowing no matter how much they face Homestuck is by their side supporting them. Homestuck is the reason for so many differences in the world and is the reason outcasts and popular kids have one thing in common. Homestuck is for those who dont feel emotions as theyve lost the ability to feel them years ago when that flame died out because of childhood issues and now the only thing they have left to bring them the tiniest bit of inspiration is Homestuck. Homestuck is for kids that have no where to turn to, teens who are on the brink of killing off their family, and for adults who have lost complete control of their lives. Homestuck is badass. Homestuck has caused many wars and won all of them, Homestuck has no barriers and does not abide to any man nor woman nor god, homestuck is above god itself. Homestuck doesnt even have a concept of god inside its intellectual brain because it knows its the reason for every good, bad, and neutral thing to happen to mankind and thats what matters. Homestuck could be legally clarified as a bible. Homestuck is for the fainthearted and isnt for the sensitive types or the crybabies. Its for true motherfuckers who know where they are in life and what the fuck theyre doing with themselves. Of course you think its cringe but maybe youre just projecting onto the homestuck because you have never felt such power or control over your own life and need to belittle those who have something greater than power. They have homestuck. Homestuck fans are the type to find your exact location and multiple different closed off social medias because you dont have the same opinion as them. I suggest next time you know your place and keep your mouth shut. Homestuck isnt cringe and isnt for weak nerds like you
Baabe: fuck you im not reading all that.
Angel: all i asked was if you wanted pesto on your pasta or marinara omg calm down
Sam: What is Homestuck?
Tumblr media
Baabe: i havent cleaned my kitchen for a month blegh
Sweetheart: If it isnt gross I think youre fine but if it is then clean your damn kitchen
Angel: HOLY SHIT a month??
Baabe: yeah theres twelve of them.
Tumblr media
Angel: *leans on expensive buffalo* heyyy
Angel: *bugatti
Baabe: nope youve sealed your fate.
Sweetheart: Im gonna cook your buffalo.
Angel: LEVAE HERBERT ALONE
Sam: I'm done.

can i js talk abt how annoying this one girl is rq?
just a quick disclaimer, im not TRYING to talk shit i js rlly dont know what to do and i need advice
so basically right she says “god im likr a 12 yr boy” and i go “why do you think that?” and she goes “i own a minecraft shirt”.
what the fuck.
like no a piece of clothing does not mean that you are a twelve year old boy (shes not trans, she’s she/her and straight like me)
like girl is the ‘taylor swift’ basic white girl.
and she like bullies me as well
she tells me shit like ‘ur bass is ugly’, ‘ur ugly’, ‘ur singing sucks’, ‘lovejoy is shit’, ‘you should like taylor instead’, shit like that
she forced me to listen to taylor and put like ‘swiftie’ in all my bios and put certain pfps and when i didnt know something abt taylor she would like slap me and shit
and her humor is like everytime i say even the word ‘lovejoy’ she slaps my shoulder and says something like ‘shut up’ or ‘here we go again’
and she knows i have like anger issues and stuff and she acts as if im lying like when i get mad she goes ‘dude it was a joke’ and ‘here we go again, you always do this’ and im too scared to say anything
and so going back to the stereotypical ‘twelve year old boy’ thing i go ‘i dont think most twelve year old boys listen to taylor and laufey’ (the stereotype that im thinking of they like shit like arctic monkeys and kanye’ (this was based of the boys in my class in my form group in y7 btw)
and like girl goes ‘yeah well i play football’ and me (being a football player/nerd) go ‘what position’ and her response:
‘welllll i play with my dad and we only do like passing and stuff’
and the thing is right is we are like best friends
and im not trying to purposefully like talk shit its just that once she kind of like stopped being friends with me and posted like my real name and my face online (which she knows im not comfortable about) and like made like hate vids on me and would like talk shit abt me in the corridors js loud enough so i could hear her and it made me want to genuinely kill myself
so idk what to do :<
i might post this on my other acc, idk

prolly shouldnt talk abt this but what the fuck ever
genuinely honestly i feel like the thing sooooooooo many ppl forget is that depression. kills. people. it is a disease and it can kill you. and i fucking hate the narrative that when it does kill someone that its somehow their fault? like, the whole idea of "committing" suicide or "taking" your own life is so. fucking. victim-blamey. a person who dies due to depression "took their own life" no more than someone who dies of cancer. could they have kept fighting? yeah sure, maybe. but did they want to? should they have to, when their quality of life is literally nonexistent?
anyway im just tired of this idea that like. if depression does end up killing me the way ive been convinced it was going to since i was twelve years old, that itll be my fault. it is not my fault that i have this disease. it is not my fault that no one ever, in my entire life, has taken it seriously. it is not my fault that the very fabric of society is designed to let people like me fall right through. it is not my fault if i get tired of having to fight tooth and nail just to survive. it is not my fault if i decide that i would rather stop fighting than keep living like this. and it is not my fault if that leads to my death.
i dont want to talk abt this bc i dont want people to worry abt me. i also dont want to get committed, bc literally everything ive heard abt the experience of being committed sounds terrifying and more traumatizing than continuing to white knuckle it through life. but i do want to talk abt this bc it is real. i have a potentially fatal disease and it is actively trying to kill me and i am simply. trying. to survive. i want people to understand that. and i want people to know its not my fault. no matter what happens, it is not my fault.

talking about fh in a dark evil way again oooh just a peak into my dark twisted reality or however it goes (3l!fh interpreted as an abusive relationship discussion. again)
no because like. fair warning, I will never be able to make a post about this written nearly as cohesively as I typically set my standard for. and maybe it’s just me who feels this way but Martyn asking Jimmy if he’s happy with Scott all concerned like that and then offering for jimmy to come live with him, only to take it personally as a rejection when he says no is something Ive posted about in a silly way before but if im being Deadly Serious about blocks that is something that. Happens. In real life. Like they don’t understand why their buddy all of a sudden seems to prefer this new partner over their lifelong relationships and assumes “oh okay I guess they just dont care about me anymore” and get all mad about it when the person they feel like they’re losing is really just fuckin scared. Of course the feelings of the partner they’re scared of is going to be getting prioritized they’re scared of them. And it’s heartbreaking to me because Jimmy is like begging Martyn to keep the offer open as a back up plan in case things go wrong (normal concern to have about living with your partner btw) but unfortunately martyn cant go back on a decision once he’s made it. And then he spends the next two episodes trying to subtly split them up but Jimmy doesn’t pick up on that so zero progress was actually made because Martyn is twelve years old and couldnt be direct about it to save his life

Rose Lalonde, Kanaya Maryam, Swifer Eggmop
Candy, page 8
ROSE: Did you hear that Jane had been intending to run for president?
KANAYA: Yes She In Fact Asked Me To Serve A Position In Her Cabinet
KANAYA: On The “Board Of Responsible Troll Reproduction”
ROSE: Oh dear. What did you tell her?
KANAYA: Well Not In So Many Words
KANAYA: But I Told Her To Kindly Fuck Off
ROSE: That bad, huh?
KANAYA: She Was Already Talking About Regulating Troll Reproduction
KANAYA: With Great Confidence I Might Add As If She Had Already Been Elected
ROSE: Very presumptuous of her.
KANAYA: Well I Suppose Her Confidence Was Not Unearned
KANAYA: Who Was Going To Run Against Her
KANAYA: Karkat?
ROSE: I don’t think Karkat would be such a bad candidate actually. Depending on certain factors I mean.
ROSE: I’m assuming that in this theoretical scenario, Dave is handling the economy.
KANAYA: Oh Of Course
ROSE: Ok. In that case it might have all worked out in the end.
KANAYA: Doubtlessly
KANAYA: I Have Great Faith In Karkat And Always Have
KANAYA: However I Also Am Not Certain That He Could Step Out Of His Hive Without Catching On Fi–
KANAYA: Swifer Could You Not Swiff The Mother Grub So Vigorously
SWIFER: Oh, sorry ma’am!
SWIFER: Just tryin’ to get her nice and clean! I heard the New Prospit Hornographer’s coming by later to scope out some pics!
ROSE: What’s this about the Hornographer?
ROSE: Since when has the press taken in interest in our activities down here?
KANAYA: Oh Yes You Were Busy Dying When I Set All Of That Up
KANAYA: The Mother Grub Is Mature Enough This Year To Process Inseminated Slurry For The First Time In Our History
KANAYA: If The Government Gives Us The Go Ahead We Can Begin Breeding Trolls The Natural Way Next Month
KANAYA: I Arranged The Newspaper Story When...
ROSE: When Jane asked you to sit on the “Board for Responsible Troll Reproduction”?
KANAYA: Yes The First Thing I Did Immediately After Screaming Into A Pillow Was To Call My Acquaintance At The Paper
KANAYA: Now That She Isnt Running It Doesnt Seem Very Important However
KANAYA: Actually Im Not Terribly Interested In Politics At All
KANAYA: Without Anger Motivating Me I Began To Think About How Its Probably Very Irresponsible For Any Of Us To Use Our Influence In Such A Way
ROSE: I agree. In fact, I’d just assumed that most of us had arrived at such a conclusion.
KANAYA: Not Jane Apparently
ROSE: Or Dave, I’m sorry to say.
KANAYA: Well Whatever Inconvenient Party Ruining Opinions Dave and Jane Might Have About The Economic Future Of Our Planet Its All In The Past
KANAYA: I Have A Very Good Feeling About Where Things Are Going Now
ROSE: I see. So are you the Seer now?
KANAYA: No
KANAYA: But I Can Make Predictions Based On Existing Evidence
KANAYA: And If I Can Spend Every Day Like This Doing The Work That I Was Born To Do With The Person I Am Most Fond Of In The World By My Side
KANAYA: I Believe That I Can Handle Anything
ROSE: Hmm... Did you really use dialogue like that to win my heart, or are we getting complacent and incredibly uncool in our old age?
KANAYA: I Convinced You To Marry Me I Dont Think That I Am Obligated To Be Cool Anymore
ROSE: Kanaya, you’re the “coolest chick” I know.
KANAYA: What
KANAYA: Are You Doing With Your Hands
ROSE: Oh, you know. Just one of these...
KANAYA: Please Dont Tell Me Youre Attempting To Do The Strider Thing
KANAYA: That Thing He Does Where He Pretends To Operate An Invisible Record Player
ROSE: B)
KANAYA: God
ROSE: Who’s the cool one now?
KANAYA: Well
KANAYA: It Sure Isnt You
SWIFER: Ma’am and Ma’am’s wife! Bank’s closed, ladies!
SWIFER: The first egg is hatchin’ already!
SWIFER: Golly gee oh my. This part always makes me tear up.
KANAYA: Rose Look
ROSE: ...
ROSE: Vriska?
KANAYA: Pretty Close
KANAYA: A Reasonable Genetic Approximation
KANAYA: This Brood Has Been Utilizing A Slurry Consisting Of Genes From Our Original Group Of Twelve Trolls
KANAYA: Mostly This Results In Unique Individuals
KANAYA: But Sometimes Very Close Copies Occur
KANAYA: As With The case Of Ancestral Descendancy
ROSE: So... Vriska would be this troll’s ancestor?
KANAYA: Yes
ROSE: Wow.
KANAYA: Rose I Think This Is A Sign
ROSE: A sign of what?
KANAYA: Havent We Been Talking About Adopting A Grub
ROSE: Eventually, yes. But a natural-born grub. Don’t you think it will be somewhat... awkward, us raising a clone of your sort-of ex?
ROSE: What happens when Vriska comes back? What do we say to her?
KANAYA: Rose Vriska Is Dead So It Doesnt Really Matter
ROSE: Is she dead, though?
KANAYA: Absolutely
KANAYA: There Are Two Things Of Which I Have No Doubt
KANAYA: That You And I Are Going To Be Happy For The Rest Of Our Lives
KANAYA: And That We Are Never Ever Going To See Vriska Again
ROSE: Oh Kanaya, you’re right.
ROSE: We are going to be so astonishingly happy!

bestie my bestie i have a chem lab due in an hour that i don't want to do. i would like to humbly ask for your miscellaneous thoughts on the hunger games pls rant to me i would love to see it <33
FRAMING THIS ON MY WALL FOREVER DEAR GODDDDDDDDD. EVEREST…. YAYYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!! SKIPPING IN A CIRCLE W YOU!!! ok :3 hehe
they make me sick in the head dear god. miscellaneous things abt hunger games that make me sick in the head this is not going to be organized btw.
thresh and katniss being parallels. both being older and non-careers that matched the careers' scores. katniss wishing she could play that stoicism like thresh because then she wouldn't have to act as much. katniss noting that she doesn't think that thresh likes owing people when he spares her for saving rue...... THEY MAKE ME SO SO SICK.
also rue and katniss and prim venn diagram.. katniss seeing herself AND prim in rue (mockingjay symbolism, eldest child, only 12 years old, named after plants, is the primary reason why katniss sticks so so true to her morals within the arena..)
gale. so many complex feelings abt him. like on one hand the way he took out his anger on katniss sucks!!! a lot!!!!! i dont think the way people discuss him is very fair either. he is still a child.. AND if we're working under the assumption that the people of the seam are intentionally indigenous-coded it feels a bit insidious the way people liken him to war and anger and shit like..... yeah gale operates from anger but it is ultimately an anger born from love and generational loss. like. gale deals with a lot of the same traumas that katniss deals with pre-74th games (losing a father, being parentified, being the primary provider for a family, watching children you grew up with die on screen every year, watching people die from disease and hunger, etc etc.) then during/post the hunger games he watched his best friend enter the games and enter an act he knows she has no agency in (and yeah theres jealousy there which. booooo but whatever he has flaws) while keeping his promise to care for her sibling and mother. THEN he is publicly tortured and watches as his home burns to the ground as the capitol attempts to commit a genocide against them, knowing full well that he wasn't able to warn the merchants town in time. i think people talk abt gale as if he's some big villain capable of holding a candle to snow when he's literally a kid whos been manipulated over and over again and led to believe that anger is the only fuel he needs. also. if im honest. im very hesitant with gale's character bc a lot of peoples criticisms of him as a person read a lot like people who believe revolutions should only ever be peaceful and that. is bullshit.
anyways. MADGE. :( I LOVE MADGE SO SO MUCH. she makes me sick she and katniss are a story of generational love. the fact that madge brings katniss the morphling because she cares for her.. the fact that madge brings katniss the pin in the first place!!! the fact that madge's aunt and katniss's mother were best friends!!! its a story of generational love!! IM SO SICK. DEAR GOD.
aro katniss hc :33 its real 2 me..
little rebellions found in small acts of love.. the three-finger salute first appearing when katniss volunteers in prim's place.. the fact that katniss volunteering at all was an unspoken rebellion bc it reinforced this idea of familial love and loyalty that the volunteer system was meant to break.. the salute being a sign of mourning as if to say district twelve will remember katniss's love..... the fact that the salute becomes this symbol of revolution.. katniss and rue bonding and exchanging tales from their districts breaking the separation each district has from the other, katniss laying rue to rest with a lullaby and a bed of flowers the capitol can't not show, district 11 in turn breaking those rules again by sending katniss bread as a token of thanks and solidarity.......... THE MOCKINGJAY PIN BEING KATNISS'S TOKEN THAT WAS GIVEN TO HER BY ONE OF HER ONLY FRIENDS. A PHYSICAL REMINDER THAT SHE WAS LOVED AT HOME. KILL ME. I NEED TO BE SHOT.
the way characters are explored through katniss and vice versa is so so interesting. i already mentioned thresh and gale but also notable are ofc haymitch, johanna, and peeta. all of which are intentionally similar to katniss in a way. (whether it be the all-consuming love and selflessness, the anger, the rebellion, holding on to stoicism as some form of protection, etc.) AND. the fact that so many characters butt heads with katniss because of this (AGAIN. HAYMITCH AND JOHANNA.)
katniss and buttercup. katniss's save the cat moment being her trying to drown the cat is so so telling both about katniss and about the world she lives in (this idea that death is some sort of salvation). buttercup being symbolic of katniss' relationship w herself (like cmon.. catnip. ok.) starting off with hating each other but only being amiable because they both love and want to protect prim, katniss saving buttercup literally only for prim (katniss intentionally wanting to come home for both prim and rue's sake), katniss lashing out at buttercup after prim has died, katniss and buttercup finding comfort in each other because prim is no longer there. their relationship shows katniss's evolution from living for prim to actually living for herself.
WHICH IS SO SO SICK. BECAUSE SHE ONLY LIVES FOR HERSELF WHEN SHE REACHES THE AGE OF ADULTHOOD. SHE HAS ONLY EVER LIVED FOR PRIM. AND EVERYONE KNOWS. JOHANNA MAKES KATNISS SWEAR ON HER MOTHER AND PRIM'S LIFE BECAUSE KATNISS DIDN'T VALUE HER OWN ENOUGH. THEY HAD TO MAKE SURE THAT KATNISS DIDN'T COMMIT SUICIDE SO SO SO MANY TIMES AFTER PRIM DIED. DEAR GODDDDD. SHES ONLY LIVED FOR PRIM.
katniss' relationship w her mother also makes me sick in the head. like mrs everdeen is not the best mom ever but the fact that she and katniss foil and parallel each other makes me so so so sick.. (katniss falling into that same depressive state her mother was in. the mockingjay pin. the seam vs merchants.. etc etc.) katniss and her motehr clearly care for each other too! her mother tries! she tries to make it up to katniss! she tries to care for her! and katniss lets her even if she doesnt like it because she knows its her mother's attempts and that means something! her mother holds her and comforts her and lets out a scream when she realizes that katniss has to be reaped again. katniss yells at her but she also grips her hand and tells her she loves her and lets the braid she wove into her hair be the signature she keeps.
ALSO SOBBING i wish we knew more about each districts individual cultures because we were given snippets of them (annie and finnick's wedding having particular district 4 customs, district 12 and their dances/music, district 11 with their music, etc etc).
also like while i stand by aro katniss 4eversies i do think that narratively peeta wouldve been the best romantic end game for her. basically what im saying is. katpee qpr. also her having children makes so much sense.

Ill fill the writing meme because i love talking about myself lmao
1. What font do you write in? Do you actually care or is that just the default setting? Standart arial, and don't care, tought i tried the comic sans trick a few times
2. If you had to give up your keyboard and write your stories exclusively by hand, could you do it? If you already write everything by hand, a) are you a wizard and b) pen or pencil? Probably not, my handwriting is terrible, actually unreadable to anyone but myself. Ive used to write on papper back in highschool when i had to write basicly everyday, now i havent touched a pen in ages.
3. What is your writing ritual and why is it cursed? No standart ritual aside from needing music, anything else distracts me. The two songs i listened the most while writing is Respite on the Spitafields by ghost and Sacred Worlds by Blind Guardian
4. What’s a word that makes you go absolutely feral? Can't think of any rn :^
5. Do you have any writing superstitions? What are they and why are they 100% true? I dont think i have any
6. What is your darkest fear about writing? That it all will be meaningless/no one will read what i do
7. What is your deepest joy about writing? Doing Something TM the whole, creation aspect
8. If you had to write an entire story without either action or dialogue, which would you choose and how would it go? No dialogue, just write a piece of someone going trought their day, ive wrote a small exercise a while back that fit this.
9. Do you believe in ghosts? This isn’t about writing I just wanna know No. Unless i hear a Noise TM then they are very real
10. Has a piece of writing ever “haunted” you? Has your own writing haunted you? What does that mean to you? All my unfinished things haunt me daily. So much promise and so far nothing real. I had to write a thing to help let go of their ghosts
11. Do you believe in the old advice to “kill your darlings?” Are you a ruthless darling assassin? What happens to the darlings you murder? Do you have a darling graveyard? Do you grieve? Only when it fits the narrative. I dont like killing characters whitout a major reason, usually thematic, otherwise it feels cheap.
12. If a genie offered you three writing wishes, what would they be? Btw if you wish for more wishes the genie turns all your current WIPs into Lorem Ipsum, I don’t make the rules. Have the skill needed to make my Big Project reality, Have it reach some form of Good greater recognition/popularity, the last one i would keep for later.
13. What is a subject matter that is incredibly difficult for you write about? What is easy? Hard topics in general, big issues, relationships in any realistic way.
Literally just characters vibing, introspection, Over the top stuff.
14. Do you lend your books to people? Are people scared to borrow books from you? Do you know exactly where all your “lost” books are and which specific friend from school you haven’t seen in twelve years still possesses them? Will you ever get them back? No one ever asked for a book to me but id have no problem doing so. Im the one people shouldnt ever lend any books because i am very careless and would likely end up dropping coffee or something accidentally on it
15. Do you write in the margins of your books? Dog-ear your pages? Read in the bath? Why or why not? Do you judge people who do these things? Can we still be friends? I dont write in margins, but i did dog eared books in the past, and i use the jacket(?) of the book to mark my pages.
16. What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever used as a bookmark? fuckenn... i dont remember tbh, again i use the jacket.
17. Talk to me about the minutiae of your current WIP. Tell me about the lore, the history, the detail, the things that won’t make it in the text. I have a post with a bunch of lore about the dragon species, i cant find it tought. But they are mammals that lay eggs, have no gender, their society mostly resemble that of bees, they have no currency, and the watsonian reason the main character goes by gendered terms despite not having one is because she thinks the words sound nice
18. Choose a passage from your writing. Tell me about the backstory of this moment. How you came up with it, how it changed from start to end. Spicy addition: Questioner provides the passage. I dont think theres any passages that have interesting enough backstories.
19. Tell me a story about your writing journey. When did you start? Why did you start? Were there bumps along the way? Where are you now and where are you going? My dream since childhood was to write a book, ive always liked to tell stories, read and such, i would dictate stories that my mom would write down before i learnt how to do so. But then i got really into drawing and started to foucus more on that, and ended up shifting the foucus from writing text to comic making since every artist with ocs does that. I also changed foucus on projects faster than light, so i would write 2 chapters and give up the next day, or change the entire story the next week and such.
I stuck with comics as my goal for like the past 6 years, and only early this year i came to the conclusion that i really hate the comic making part of making comics, and that i like writting much better. Im very rusty+ the fact im not as avid reader as i used to, and the quality is not really good, but im having fun.
20. If a witch offered you the choice between eternal happiness with your one true love and the ability to finally finish, perfect, and publish your dearest, darlingest, most precious WIP in exactly the way you've always imagined it — which would you choose? You can’t have both sorry, life’s a bitch
Wip, finish the wip, thats all i wanted since i was 10, what even is the point of this question.
21. Could you ever quit writing? Do you ever wish you could? Why or why not? I just started writting 'seriously' so i dont want to quit just yet. Also i have a massive undeserved ego, i dont think even the most discouraging,awful negative review could make me quit doing it.
22. How organized are you with your writing? Describe to me your organization method, if it exists. What tools do you use? Notebooks? Binders? Apps? The Cloud? I have one google doc, with outline+ chapters as i write them, i used to have different docs for lore/outline/chapters but its easier this wau
23. Describe the physical environment in which you write. Be as detailed as possible. Tell me what’s around you as you work. Paint me a picture.
In the inn i stay during the week and my actual room in my house are essentially the same place, Is my room, its messy and damp but its confy enough. My table is turned to the small window and during the morning the sun hist right in my face. The table is equally messy, with cups and glasses over it, pappers stained with coffee and tea cover its surface. My one company, a small succulent that rests near the window, and a carved small owl that i need to constantly clean because its constantly molding due to the dampness.
24. How much prep work do you put into your stories? What does that look like for you? Do you enjoy this part or do you just want to get on with it? Idk what kind of prep work you would do. I just sit and write mate.
25. What is a weird, hyper-specific detail you know about one of your characters that is completely irrelevant to the story? Godamn i cant think of any rn. Most of my Extremely well developed characters are from my BIg Story, but it literally doesnt exist anywhere outside my head yet, so idk what is and isnt relevant to it. For my current wip is a little harder since the characters are like less than a year old. idk...Orick looks like a cat person, i think he would like to own a cat.
26. How do you get into your character’s head? How do you get out? Do you ever regret going in there in the first place? I go "what would a person in this situation with this background do" and try my best to guess.
27. Who is the most stressful character you’ve ever written? Why? Any character thats like a stategist or planner, because its hard to make them look smart without making it look like bullshit or predicting the future
28. Who is the most delightful character you’ve ever written? Why? Meira. Her narration came very easy to me, guilt ridden but still professional and calm, also Big Gay.
29. Where do you draw your inspiration? What do you do when the inspiration well runs dry? I was never a very original kid, im a vampire that sucks the soul out of other things to fuel my own. My current Wip main characters are based out of HK characters they resemble nothing of. Im always on the prowl for new media to steal from be inspired by
30. Talk to me about the role dreams play in your writing life. Have you ever used material from your dreams in your writing? Have you ever written in a dream? Did you remember it when you woke up?
Sort of. I've dreamed with plots before, and i usually do my best to remember, but while at the moment i wake up feeling like that was the best idea in the world, after a while when i think about it again, its just sort of nonsense
31. Write a short love letter to your readers.
Literally Thank you to anyone who ever gave me the time of day. Im still a little haunted by those i dissapointed by never fininishing stuff but the fact that yall liked enough to make me feel guilty for giving up is also good in a way <3
32. What is a line from a poem/novel/fanfic etc that you return to from time and time again? How did you find it? What does it mean to you?
'sometimes a dream is enough' - the last line from one of my favourite books. In context it drives me insane, it makes me rabid. But out of context its just neat
33. Do you practice any other art besides writing? Does that art ever tie into your writing, or is it entirely separate? Im a Drawer! also tried sculpting in the past. And YES, my current dream is to have an illustrated novel.
34. Thoughts on the Oxford comma, Go: No idea what an oxford comma is and at this point im too afraid to ask
35. What’s your favorite writing rule to smash into smithereens? POV character being the protagonist, i just found it such a neat concept. Also the protagonist needing to be a Good Moral Character.
36. They say to Write What You Know. Setting aside for a moment the fact that this is terrible advice...what do you Know? Dinossaurs, i wanna write a story about dinossaurs one day...
37. If you were to be remembered only by the words you’ve put on the page, what would future historians think of you? Gay. Also very into dragons
38. What is something about your writing process YOU think is Really Weird? If you are comfortable, please share. If you’re not comfortable, what do you think cats say about us? I dont have any Weird habits i think? I can only imagine some kind of complain about how their current food sucks.
39. What keeps you writing when you feel like giving up? Not to be dark in the funny meme but giving up would literally remove one of the things that give my life some form of meaning
40. Please share a poem with me, I need it.
idk how to write poems sorry
