#i could write a thesis on this

[timelesslords]

thinking about how the hunger games were designed to prove that without society, order, government, someone to rule, we devolve into little more than animals, and how the games themselves prove over and over again that this is not true. We see it in every single game we witness.

Katniss placing flowers around Rue's body in the arena. Thresh sparing Katniss because she was kind to Rue, even though he was making it that much harder for himself to win.

Haymitch going back for Maysilee after hearing her scream even though their alliance had been broken. Haymitch holding her as she dies the same way Katniss did Rue.

Coral's "I can't have killed them all for nothing" when she realizes she's not going home. Lamina cutting down Marcus at great personal risk. And, my favorite moment in tbosas, Reaper collecting the bodies of his fellow tributes, his peers, even the ones who tried to kill him, into a pile. Taking the weapons from their hands. Closing their eyes and crossing their arms in the best approximation of a proper burial he can manage, covering them with the Capitol flag as a makeshift shroud.

The Games bring out the worst in people, yes. But despite the extreme circumstances, despite the exterior pressure of the Capitol, despite the fact that it could mean pain and heartbreak and death, it also shows that people have an enormous capacity for goodness. That even in a situation purposefully designed to make empathy impossible, people can't help but have it anyway.

Snow looks at the Games and all he can see is what's inside himself-- this pure animalistic drive to conquer and defeat. He kills and it feels good and he thinks that everyone else must feel that way too. He doesn't realize (maybe can't realize) that he is the exception, not the rule. He cannot see outside himself, outside his own warped perspective, to realize that the fact that people do show humanity in the games proves his entire worldview wrong.

i call a lot of things that came from PJO and HOO from the late 00’s to the early 10’s the persassy dark ages because of how corny and unusable a lot of things that came in that period are. the nico is not gay era, persassy, the neon fonts as the characters discussed questions, does anyone remember people making up names for the kids of characters. this was pre we gain some reading comprehension and percabeth named a kid luke or zoë headcanon. these were the persassy dark ages were you part of them or are you unaware of sins past?

Fact: Drive to Survive is wildly popular and bolstered the popularity of Formula 1. It can be argued that DTS is additionally popular because of Daniel Ricciardo.

Fact: Because of the popularity of DTS and F1, there has been an influx of docuseries style shows about different sports and their personalities (Nascar, Golf, Surfing, Tennis).

We KNOW the purpose is to make these sports more popular, get new viewers and they're trying to strike lightning/gold/oil, like what happened with DTS & F1.

Fact delusion FACT: Long story short, we can clearly see that the new popularity/marketability of these shows and sports points back to Daniel Ricciardo.

Uber Fact: Daniel Ricciardo has increased the popularity of golf, tennis, surfing, motogp and formula 1.

listening to national anthem rn and thinking of abby 🥹 that one line where it’s like “I can tell, I can tell, keep me safe” is SO abby to me <3

-🐋

kdjaksnakaj 100% abby coded. my go to song thag gives me abby vibes is saturday sun by vance joy and gold rush by taylor swift !!

specifically in saturday sun when he says “the long drive, the coast line. lookin out at first light. am i still on her mind?”

and then in gold rush when she says “what must it be like to grow up that beautiful? with your hair falling into place like dominos. my mind turns your life into folklore.”

I can’t 100% explain it but something feels so abby-esque. like her softer side, the sunny honey haired girl.

#can you tell I love her #abby anderson #my favourite person #🐋 anon ! #I LOVE HER SO MUCH IM GONNA #COMBUST #I could write a thesis on this

the realization that only 2% of the fanfiction works in miraculous are lukadrien is just. insane to me.

most, if not all, of the fandoms i’ve been in before this do not ship the main canon couples. like, sure a few people do, but there’s evenly split. the same, if not more people were shipping jaden with jesse in gx, than jaden and alexis, and spideynova stood a chance against peter/mj or any other pair. 

not to bring up forbidden fandoms, but drarry was arguably just as popular as draco/hermione, or ron/hermione, and harry/ginny. only other fandom i ever wrote for was hetalia and that’s almost too big of a disaster to get into. i suppose the closest this has happened was probably yuri on ice, but i didn’t notice because i shipped the main ship?

this story is just. so ship heavy in one direction that i’m not entirely on board with, and that’s the main difference. if i was still shipping the lovesquare, i wouldn’t even consider. but even in this case, it’s not even a  canon vs non-canon ordeal bc adrigami is at 1% of adrien ships and they dated. they had multiple on-screen moments ah.

i just have so many thoughts regarding the shipping culture in this fandom and it’s not a criticism in any way (i’ve got my own Much Smaller boat over here lol), it’s just!!! really weird!!! y’all have confirmed endgame, so long term y’all gonna win, i just want to know what’s different about this show. 

(okay but also the goddamn audacity that this fandom splits it’s main ship into four ad fights over that is a whole other post /j)

#let's go #anywho i sometimes get Sad bc i see how Popular other people's au's and fics are #and i consider for the briefest of moments that #if i wrote for the lovesquare #how popular would i be? #which is dumb bc i do not write for popularity #or praise i write these stories bc i like reading them #they're such a good pairing together in any possible aspect #it's very different #i just have. so many thoughts #i could write a thesis on this #and hey #i might

help your mr freezy posts made me 🫠 and finally accept that i think he’s hot. like there’s a gif where his biceps look so yummy, i want him to put me in a headlock (and maybe bite and leave marks on his biceps too but that’s a different thot for another time)

i feel like i had been repressing my mr freezy obsession… like i never spoke about him or reblogged him bc… deep down i knew this creepy man is exactly the type of character i’d hyperfixate on 😭😌

and YES ugh his biceps😩 it’s bc he wears such tight shirts… i think the hottest thing about mr freezy is the juxtaposition between the greasy long hair/glasses/general creepiness and the fact that he’s got such a hot muscular body and he’s clearly good looking underneath his creepiness UGH BYE

#i could write a thesis on this #I WANNA BITE HIM TOO #COME HERE @ MR FREEZY #anon #the way it’s only been two (2) days since I’ve begun my hyperfixation on this man and already people are being influenced to do the same #aidjwjxjwiskwk

there should be a sub genre of books that were originally written to comment on the evils of capitalism and how greed and wealth corrupts society as a whole and how those popular books were subsequently made into hollywood movies and were marketed in a way in order to mass produce as much merchandise as possible so the companies behind the movies can make as much money as possible and thus completely erasing the original meaning of that story while also unintentionally proving the point of the original novels themes

That fucking hospital scene…that is a sequence that I’m glad it didn’t feel like playing the game. Instead, I felt like I wasn’t breathing the entire time. That was one of the most effective sequences of television I’ve ever seen, from the acting to the emphasis on the brutality.

The way Joel seemed to be walking through a dream…that’s the part that hit the hardest. We as the audience were hyperaware of his actions, while he was barely there at all—Sarah and his grief and Ellie were the only things on his mind.

Neil Druckmann really wrote a story that turned a mirror on humanity, and my god am I thankful for both the game and this adaptation.
