i know a lot of people have been going 'oh, Katniss reminds Snow of Lucy Gray' and 'Katniss reminds Snow of Sejanus' but has anyone thought that Katniss might remind Snow a little of himself too?

One of Snow's biggest struggles was admitting to himself that he loved Lucy Gray, that he could see her as a human, and that it was okay to have those feelings. He was then 'betrayed' by her, something that caused him to lose a lot of his growing faith in humanity. At the beginning, he was 'playing the game' and trying to win Lucy Gray donations and sympathy points, but somewhere along the line those fake feelings became (what he thought was) real.

Katniss, to some extent, was the same. She had such extreme trust issues, both in the people around her and herself, that she couldn’t trust that what she had was Peeta was love. She couldn’t trust that Peeta really loved her. Snow, the whole time, knew Peeta was a showman like Lucy Gray. Snow was convinced that Peeta wasn’t in love with Katniss. And he saw himself in Katniss - someone rebelling the system but unsure if it was for personal gain or love. He knew that, at the start, Katniss ‘faked’ the love to win the game, and later on was confused if it was real. Playing the game. Just like Snow. He was watching Katniss in the 74th games, and then the 75th, and he was reminded of himself all those years ago.

Imagine. He knew, the second she started to sing, that she was going to bring change. Unlike him, she made the decision to stay good, and she didn’t take that step into the ‘evil’ territory. She was like him, but she was stronger.

#this is not meant to undermine people’s comments on her being like Lucy Gray and Sejanus #because i agree with those too #I think she’s a mix of all of them #she’s just the ghost of his past #thats why he was so obsessed with her over everyone else #he saw in her what he tried to hard to forget #he knew it was the end right from the start #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #the ballad of songbirds and snakes theory #tbosas theory #tbosas meta #coriolanus snow #katniss everdeen #lucy gray baird #sejanus plinth #peeta mellark

Me: 'Hmm, do I draw hiccup too short? Like, I know canonically he's described as small and scrawny, but am i overexaggerating this? Fishlegs is 4'10 maybe i should put hiccup a bit closer to that, i dont want it to seem way out of place.......' Gustav Larson:

#why he so smallllllllllllllll #like i measured #snotlout is somewhere around 5'3/161 cm #using him as a reference gustav is like. 3'3/91cm #had anyone who worked on Rob/Dob *met* a 12 year old ya think? #or had they only seen babies and had to model gustav like ''oo ahh 12 thats like. 2 babies stacked right? ...yea its good we'll do that'' #desperately need to introduce him to the Trio #they can feel tall for once #They can see how everyone else feels around them #httyd books #httyd #how to train your dragon movies #how to train your dragon

LEANDER DIDNT REACH FOR YOUR THROAT TO BE AN ASSHOLE! HIS WHOLE GOAL IN THE BEGINNING IS TO. GAIN. YOUR. TRUST.

WHAT PART OF REACHING FOR YOUR THROAT GAINS YOUR TRUST???

IT MAKES YOU DOUBT HIS POWER, HENCE WHY HE PLAYED IT OFF BY SAYING "LMAO JK JK" YOU FOOLS FELL FOR IT AND ATE IT UP BELIEVING HE WAS JUST BEIN A LIL JESTER. A LITTLE BITCH. A LITTLE ASSHOLE.

THATS WHAT HE WANTED YOU TO THINK BC FOR A MOMENT THE CURSE DID AFFECT HIM A BIT.

"BUT EGGY, HE DOESNT DO IT IF YOU WILLINGLY TOUCH HIM?!!?! HE WAS JUST SO OFFENDED YOU DIDNT TRUST HIM!!" DO YOU KNOW HOW CURSES CAN WORK? CATCH MC OFF GUARD AND THEIR CURSE FLARES UP TO BE STRONGER. THE CURSE'S STRENGTH PROBABLY DEPENDS ON HOW FREAKED OUT MC IS.

MC IS CALMER AND TRUSTING AND EXPECTANT WHEN THEY WILLINGLY TOUCH LEANDER. SO THE CURSE DOESNT FLARE UP.

THE CALMER MC IS THE LESS THE CURSE FLARES UP AND THE EASIER IT IS TO COUNTER WITH LEANDERS OWN MAGIC.

LEANDER GAINING YOUR TRUST COMES BEFORE ANY SORT OF RETALIATION. HE MAY BE A MAN CHILD OF A DOG, BUT HE IS DEDICATED. HE WILL CALMLY CHASE YOU UNTIL YOU'RE TOO TIRED TO KEEP RUNNING. YOU THINK HE GOT ALL THAT POWER BY BEING AN ASS TO PEOPLE WHO DONT IMMEDIATELY TRUST HIM?! HE WILL PLAY THE LONG GAME IF HE HAS TO. HE GIVES YOU THE WHOLE FACADE OF "you can come and go as you please, but i can be home for you :)"

HE HAS DUPED YOU ALL AND I WILL GIGGLE AT ALL OF YOU WHEN THE FULL GAME COMES OUT.

#smh smh #you all are ALREADY falling into his trap #he wants you to think that was just an asshole move for not trusting him #thats how he works. he covers any imperfections up and presents himself as a charming powerful man #and you guys have already fallen for it #i cant wait for the full game to come out and see everyone get repeated tricked by him bc i knew immediately when reading that scene #bro was sweating under all that leather #why ELSE WOULD HE PLAY IT OFF LIKE THAT #HE WANTS YOUR TRUST #his choices in that moment were 'admit that the curse almost fucked him up' OR 'play it off like you were just being silly goofy' #SO HE CHOSE PLAY IT OFF SILLY GOOFY #leander #touchstarved leander #touchstarved game #leander touchstarved #leander ts #leander theory

why doesnt wally just cut sallys arms off while she sleeps?

hey now c'mahn she's just a lil guy

Wally would never and i wouldn't make him. Nightlight!Sally protection squad - assemble!

#lights out wally would rather get torn apart than raise a hand to sally #there's a Reason he either hides from her or tries to calm her down instead of taking Drastic Measures #she's his beloved neighbor... he wouldnt hurt his neighbor thats so Un-Neighborly #and he wouldn't let anyone else do it either #he loves his friends so so much why would he hurt them... even if they dont feel actual pain its still a No for him #rambles from the bog #wh lights out au #like... wally doesnt really understand why itd be Wrong to do it #but he understands that its unpleasant to be 'hurt' and also he doesnt like seeing his neighbors Damaged yk yk #the Arm™️ is a tenuous exception #there's a reason he keeps it instead of sewing it back on right away. #he doesnt understand that keeping it is Kinda Really Fucked Up #his thought process behind it is 'well. barnabys not using it anyway and i want to keep him with me but i cant risk the rest of him' #wally: this is perfectly rational and well thought out #literally everyone else: THE FUCK IT IS-

im almost certain that wyll's content was probably halved almost because of the fact that they ended up cutting the upper city as an area for us to explore but it's really stupid that they can't remix some of the dialogue or something to give him more content. surely they had some of it recorded already. and like why doesn't his dad have anything to say about your relationship with him??

i love wyll so much. i wish they'd figure out a way to put some of his content back that they cut.

#wyll ravengard #bg3 wyll #and i hope / wish that some of that content was a karlach poly route ngl #they love each other so much i want more interactions with them and MC #i wanna be able to romance them both and have them talk about it and react to it #but thats a me problem mostly i just want more wyll content like #did you know that he doesnt have a dialogue option that everyone else has after the durge act2 scene?? #like why is there so much stuff missing for him that everyone else has. where did it go

Bill and Ford were unintentionally so fucking gay that it's funny. Why were they like this.

#billford #ford was so in love with him and bill was like haha wow thats crazy #then ford lost interest and bill became the fruitiest fruit in the orchard for him #oh fordsie this and that #near begging him to join him #serenading him with the piano #why was he like that #even when he should have threatened to kill ford he never did! he always kept the offer of being with him forever on the table #ford was just Bill's special guy #everyone else though? throw dipper off the water tower #join him shooting star #but ford? #special.

#🙅nuclear family 'wayne' posters dni🙅 #but honestly. why do you even want him to make his own identity #because itd be 'establishing his individuality'? because itd be 'healthier'? what are you a cop #honestly like its so boringgggg give me tim who crawled into dicks old uniform and stayed there until he got kicked out and then dragged+ #Jason's out of the literal garbage or I don't want any #genuinely its really difficult for me to wrap my head around the idea of using TIM of all people in an arc about like. what. #establishing yourself as an independent new thing in an actually interesting arc that rings true for him bc. #hes always been pretty independent for all that he was the Team-Up Robin like #if he didmt have that connection in the form of taking on someone elses discarded mantle hed just up and float away man 🤷 #dc #like he doesn't need to have... like nightwing but for tim drake #hes not dick lol. #however i do not want him to just be robin any mote #more*.

Atla live action 😐

#thats my honest reaction 😐 #to be fair ive only seen 20 minutes of the s1 finale bc my parents are watching it but. mmmmm kinda mid #like. the casting is definitely an improvement since the last time they tried a live action but it feels like the writing falls flat #or maybe im being harsh bc ive only heard negative criticism on it beforehand. but fr anytime u bring up the original its already #good and not just because its the original. so much fucking detail went into it to the point of someone noticing azula wielding mai's knive #to how well thought out irohs character is used as a way of uniting the cast especially as zukos foil #i heard that sokkas sexism was toned down and i have to agree that feels like a cheap move. like i get WHY they think it would be better #but its not about how that reflects on real world its about how it affects the story. sokka starts out as a misogynistic asshole because #it makes it that much more impactful when he changes. toning that down makes it flatter and makes his character development weak #and someone pointed out they didnt even make him wear the kyoshi warrior uniform and i know it feels like such a small detail but #come on man. they did that in the original because not only does it help him really walk in their shoes - wearing 'feminine' clothing and #makeup and having suki explain its significance but it also ties in with the shows theme of harmony and intersectionality #i was also disappointed when they had the fire sages explain how the water tribe draws power from the moon because in the original it was #IROH who explained it to aang and everyone else BECAUSE we as the audience is under the impression hes with the 'bad guys' #and it builds up to how he learned from the other nations which reconciles his past as a war general and his character overall #AND its an excellent starting point for the cast and audience to understand how the nations arent as closed off as you would think #plus you would think its only fire nation doing propaganda but they expanded on that with earth kingdom censorship and it WORKS #a lot of things in the live action also feel arbitrary like. they gave momo a near death experience for 5 minutes for no reason #im firmly on the stance of bringing back filler moments instead of putting major events right after each other so that u give your #audience a sense of time passing and to really absorb the story. but i think thats more like shock value than filler and yeah its a small #thing to gripe about but those things build up and its really annoying. the thing abt avatar filler moments is that however small #its at least meaningful. hell even the beach episode emphasizes how isolated zuko and his friends are as child soldiers #i also swore to never watch the first live action since it was that bad but i really liked the stylized tattoos they used for aang #anyway. those arejust my thoughts. im not gonna watch the rest because im a ride or die for the original aftr growing up and #rewatching it at least 20 times as a kid. but theres definitely room for improvement and i wish ppl wouldnt take it as 'better' just cuz #netflix is adapting it. i wouldve killed for them to just reanimate the entire avatar series and touch NOTHING ELSE no redub #no changes to the story. just reanimate the thing and leave the rest alone and youd make easy money just the same #ALSO its very jarring not hearing jack desena and dante basco voicing sokka and zuko cause their voices were the most recognizable to me #i get that its because its live action but im allowed to feel a little sad abt that. and uncle irohs accent was really soothing #yapping

when midoriya punches the zero pointer at the entrance exam, all might says “show who you are, embody what it means to be a true hero, nothing is nobler than self sacrifice” do you think aizawa heard kill bill sirens

#he said that very loud and very confidently #i hold true to the hc that midoriya is so reckless due to his horrific self worth from being quirkless #but a good chunk of it is definitely bc of all might #who through his own issues encourages his self isolation and the worth of his power and what he can do with it over midoriya himself #and then you have aizawa who has spent his entire teaching career hammering home that living is just as important as saving someone #all might nedzu and probably everyone else in the room saw that as a heroic moment #midoriya saved uraraka with an unbelievable move with no reward for himself #aizawa is the only one that sees a kid break three out of four of his limbs and plummet to the earth with no plan to save himself #if uraraka hadnt managed to hit him he wouldve at the very least shattered his other arm #he very easily couldve died #and aizawas the only one that notices #thats why he grills him during the ball throw #he says midoriya cant be a hero bc being one will lead to him killing himself if he doesnt change #bc he saw a kid that would destroy himself at every given chance to help someone else #and hes the only one that realises how wrong that is #its been a minute since ive watched this scene and damn it hits a bit different now #coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt #go beyond plus ultra #aizawa shouta #midoriya izuku #deku #all might #bnha #mha #save post

theo and liam always getting paired together in 6b during episodes where all of the other storylines focus on couples going through stuff together is so funny because when you look at it, the only episode where they really get split up is genotype, which is one of the rare episodes where scott ISN’T paired with malia (because he’s with liam) and mason isn’t with corey (because he’s with theo) aka the canon love interests. like these episodes were cutting from shit like scalia almost dying together to thiam having intimate conversations about how liam processes emotions and morey saying i love you to thiam swearing that neither of them are dying for each other 😭 just very amusing to me. theo raeken: the accidental love interest.

#like 😭 #6b eps post theo getting kidnapped go pressure test -> triggers -> werewolves of london -> genotype -> 6.19 which i barely remember -> #then wolves of war aka the finale #pressure test: mason & corey are at deatons. theo shows up at the police station w everyone & shoves liam in the bathroom to berate him for #not being worried ab his own safety enough ??? 😭 & hes pretty much attached to liams hip in the group shots #also while theo & scott are outside doing their lil body bag trick malia and liam are pressed right against the window watching both of them #& during triggers we dont see corey but mason leaves theo & liam alone . & its a major bonding ep for them…. #while scalia are also having their major bonding moment when they both almost Die #then during werewolves of london theo just shows up at the school and they end up calling scalia for help 😭 #and again genotype breaks all the couples off from each other so its mason n theo / scott n liam / malia with her dad #and during wolves of war i literally laughed out loud because it bounces around from jethan to morey to thiam all having heart to hearts #not saying it was intentional but it was very funny framing TO ME #that ao3 tag thats like ‘they are dating in secret but only one is aware’ LIEKDJENEBR #they basically made theo liam’s love interest on accident just bcuz everyone else was already paired off w someone 😭 #thiam #saw someone the other day say they just dont get how people Came Up with thiam and its like #ok if you dont ship it whatever but if you say you cant see why youre just lying 😭 look at the material

Back at it with Bleach!

AKA the: If arrancar get to look kind of like shinigami despite starting off as hollows, Visored should get to look a little bit hollow all the time despite starting off as shinigami. As a (not) treat. post

(Bonus: some more floating heads under the cut)

#bleach #ichigo #ichigo kurosaki #kurosaki ichigo #vizards #shinji hirako #hiyori sarugaki #lisa yadomaru #kensei muguruma #love aikawa #rojuro otoribashi #im not tagging everyone under the cut bc i WILL go over my tag limit #anyway. i stand that even pure shinigami look a little uncanny next to humans #especially noble/born-spirits and high level soul reapers bc well. spirits! dead people! people who were never alive! etc #but vizards take it to another level bc of the hollow influence even when im not giving them permanent hollow eyes #and well. ichigo is kind of his own thing bc i figure he hollowfied twice btwn Zangetsu and the Shattered Shaft but like. #what else are you gonna call him? he's already so many things. anyway thats why he has a hollow hole please-just-let-it-be-a-tattoo marking #and as a bonus. yuzu and karin get to be a little weird too. as a treat. from the remnants of Masaki's infection. #hence as they start to awaken their powers they get one eye off color on the way to being hollowfied #i am cringe but i am free #if this posts multiple times its bc yet again. tumblr loathes me

So I got back into the Sandman fandom again and I was going through the posters as you do, and I just noticed

Hob Gadling isn't here???? Like what????? He arguably had more screen time than say, Despair and Desire but HE ISNT THERE ON MY FAVOURITE POSTER???????

sus.

#the sandman #sandman #sandman netflix #dream of the endless #dream #morpheus #hob gadling #desire of the endless #despair of the endless #death of the endless #dreamling #aaaaah wheres hobbb #i mean arguably hob is dreams only friend #everyone else is either his subjects #his family #a weird outsourced colleague who is Constantine #and his ex wife who hes not really on speaking terms with but theres some hope of that changing #so yea hobs pretty important i think #BUT WHERE IS HE??!?!?!? #lmao tho i think thats why that entire episode on hob took me by surprise #the entire time i watching it felt like i was politely and quite gently rammed by a truck cause im like where did this come from #now i realise its cause i didnt see a hide nor hair of hob gadling in any of the released posters or nuthin #and i was like who he??? #and then #ah #the homoerotic love intrest #or like the only love intrest lmao if we exclude his ex wife #of wife?? #are they still married?

Sebek Zigvolt (Voice Lines) – Dorm Uniform

Here is my translation of Sebek Zigvolt’s voice lines for his Dorm Uniform card.

Spoilers below the cut!

Summon Lines

⚡: Take heed! This is the power of Diasomnia!

⚡: Ah, how long I have been training for this day. I shall be sure to demonstrate my power to the fullest extent!

Home Lines

⚡: I shan't disappoint.

⚡: Don’t get ahead of yourself simply because the young Lord has taken a liking to Ramshackle Dorm... No, I am not jealous of you!!!

⚡:  Diasomnia is a fun and friendly dorm! ….Sir Lilia told me to go ‘round and “hype up” our dorm by saying that…

⚡:  I'm truly elated to be in the same dorm as our Lord! Well, even if that weren't the case, I’d planned to go live in Diasomnia's courtyard...

⚡:   'Tis only appropriate for Diasomnia to be the top dorm at this school, for we are governed by none other than the great Lord Malleus himself! All should prostrate themselves before us!

⚡:   Arrgh... I eat and I eat, and yet my hunger is never satiated… Even you and Grim are starting to look appetizing.

⚡:   How to know what clothing suits you? I'm not really sure... I simply wear whatever has been provisioned to me.

⚡:   Oh, how noble is the sight of the young Lord adorned in his dorm uniform! I can hardly fix my gaze upon him, how brilliantly he shines!

⚡:   From what I’ve heard, the horns on our dorm hats resemble those of the Thorn Fairy. Our Lord, who already naturally possesses a most splendid set of horns, has his own special hat that slightly differs from ours.

⚡:   Our Lord and Sir Lilia share an incredibly deep bond between them. Oh, if only I’d been born earlier...! …Ah, never mind. There’s no use even trying to imagine that, I suppose.

⚡:   I loathe whining. Hardship is the best form of nourishment there is. No pain, no gain!

⚡:   Judging by that look upon your face… you’ve come to beg for some tales of Lord Malleus’s heroics, have you not? Excellent!! Here’s a story I heard when I was but a child…

Groovy

⚡: I wonder, what does it mean to be a reliable servant? Perchance I shall find my answer while here at this school.

Duo Lines

⚡: You’ve no business here, Silver!

⚔️: Sebek, don’t overdo it!

You can listen to his voice lines here, starting at the 19:26 mark (I couldn't find a vid with just the voice lines):

And his Duo lines here (the boss fight in this clip contains spoilers for Book 3):

#sebek zigvolt #silver #twst silver #twst #twisted wonderland #my tl #voice lines #the phrase he says in his very first home line can have a lot of different meanings depending on the context #it mean like “i'm bracing myself/i'm humbled/i'm awed/i will try my best (to meet your expectations of me)” #but he just says the phrase and nothing else so i picked the tl that i think matched his tone of voice the best #he says it calmly and with a smile #the phrase can be used when starting a new job/promotion in order to say you will try your best (to meet everyone's expectations) #so thats why i went with that one

Fantasy Wally but he talks to everyone like this one tumblr post I can’t find where the warlock calls the party “chat” and the god/demon patron “mod(s)”

“Hey mod this guy’s being mean. Kick em.”

*bandit dies a thousand deaths in the span of a millisecond*

Something like that 😂

this Immediately made me picture Wally & Home making a (poorly set up & executed) joke where Frank is being A Lot while Home is unfolded and Wally just goes "mod, chat is being too loud. ban them" & Home fully grabs Frank and starts to drag him into the building

#barnaby saw the joke. he's wheezing #sally julie and howdy are also laughing bc they see barn's reaction and go Ohhhh Theyre Fuckin Around #but i imagine everyone else Panics lmfaooo #frank's fully convinced home has had enough and is about to eat his soul #wally - dying inside - has to Apologize #that terrible feeling when you try to make a joke or do a bit but it goes the Opposite way... eugh #wh fantasy au #rambles from the bog #frank: and THATS why we can't take this job! because- #home: *fuckign Gets Him* #frank: *screaming* #im finding i like thinking about how home interacts with everyone. what sort of dynamics might arise... #wally allowing home to posess him so it can try out one of julie's games <3 #home almost immediately taps out <3 #ALSO I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT POST YOU'RE REFERENCING. I LOVE THAT POST. THANK YOU

"if we make america worse and more of a dictatorship that will be even harder to unravel and make it the way we want the country to be, maybe then everyone will join our Glorious Revolution!" bb girl you cant even be in the same room with someone who thinks you should vote, how in tf do you think you're gonna unite people to fight in The Revolution with you? it's gonna be you and your 5 friends, i hate to break it to you.

#i dont think you realize how repelling you and your politics are to everyone else #you get all of your validation for how Smart You Are from your friends and ignore any kind of feedback that suggests you should #change or do something differently. thats the only reason you're so convinced average people will go along with you bc you keep getting #affirmation from the people who ALREADY agree with you- but you have NO IDEA how to bridge the gap between people who agree #with you and disagree with you. you're horrible at convincing people of your side of things outside of straight up guilt tripping them #or bullying them like a highschooler. im sorry but the tools you learned to survive with as a kid aren't gonna help you in this situation. #the ONLY THING you can come up with to bridge that gap is a bloody revolution. thats how bad you are at this. #and you're also so bad at this and unimaginative that you dont even realize how THAT might not even be enough. #you cant imagine ANY kind of avenue to getting people to change AT ALL outside of blood and fire. and thats why people call you #an authoritarian. #i'll be honest- i really do think the world would be a better place if we did incremental change under a democratic president who wont #set the world on fire vs the godkingemperor republican WHO WONT EVEN LISTEN TO YOU AT ALL EVER AND MIGHT KILL YOU #FOR PUTTING UP A STINK. idk if you noticed but if that evil fuck gets into office we are severely outnumbered if he gets police #n shit to go after his own citizens. letting trump win is making this battle so much harder than it needs to be. #you are choosing trying to fix the world while its exploding vs trying to fix it before it explodes at all. #what is this like a procrastination thing? you wanna wait till the last minute to try? idfgi. wtf is wrong with you #throwing minority lives away to prove a point. and then you try to tell me you care. gtfoh. #accelerationists should never be taken seriously.
