MIKE AND WILL ON THE SWINGS!???

THIS!!!!!

I always laugh when people paint Peeta as a soft, innocent, almost a push over type of guy. Like this boy was eating Katniss up in arguments, making innuendos while on his deathbed, and beating up guys if they threaten his girl. Like come on now.

I wonder if when those rare moments of when peace fall upon us,do we seek out the chaos and embrace it?

Have we been deprived of peace so that now,chaos is the only comforting thing that we can find?

Will it continue on like an endless cycle of sin,repentance and sins again?

Will we bite the apple like Adam and Eve?

Will we be cast down into the violent world,or did we fall down there by will,because perhaps violence is the only comfort we know.

Perhaps we would rather succumb to our own violence then face god’s selfish wrath?

HELAENA THE ICON!!!!

it’s so beautiful and real that helaena didn’t let that over the head braid go for YEARSSS

I’m literally sobbing.Poor Ahsoka didn’t just see Padmè as a friend,but as a mother that she never got to truly have.

i think about ahsoka's "she was my friend" line too many times a day

(commission info // tip jar!)

“Oh eyes.

Tell us your mind.

The dreams of fear.

And haunted tears.

Don’t despair,my dear.

For I watch you drink your own tears.

Oh eyes.

Tell us your mind.

Of terror and comfort.

The blood in your eyes.

Don’t bleed,my dear.

For I watch you devour your bleeding fears.

Oh eyes.

Don’t lie.

For I know your story already.

I have seen you lick up tears.

I have seen you spill the blood.

Don’t rage,my dear.

For I am more than just my eyes.

Or am I really?”

FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE GETS IT‼️‼️‼️

I don’t think that we talk sufficiently about how crazy the line “and it could be true now, couldn’t it?” is. Because the natural next sentence should be something along the lines of “if the Capitol had gotten their way.“ But it’s not. It has everything to do with Katniss’s personal reservations about marriage and family warring with what she might want otherwise. Granted, of course, these reservations have to do with the society she is living in and the atrocities in which the Capitol citizens are complicit, but the thing that is holding her back is not lack of innate desire. It is a self acknowledged wall of defense that makes her recoil. Also, realistically, given the way we see preparations for the wedding unfolding, which I imagine would put it sometime near or a little before the summer of the Quell (perhaps after her birthday? to appease her mother at least from a PR standpoint?), that would be one fast honeymoon pregnancy. Sure, she could reasonably anticipate the pressure for them to have children, but I just don’t get the sense that this unrealized Capitol future is what she’s referring to at all. I think she’s strongly implying that were she not living in the nightmare of Panem (especially one without her father) she would feel free to fall for Peeta, and it wouldn’t be completely outside the realm of possibility for them to have had a very young marriage (and pregnancy). Now, that’s cultural, as per Coryo’s musings in the prequel, and I don’t know that I’d recommend that course of action for Katniss, but it’s wild that she’s even theoretically open to it. It tells you so much about the themes of this series, as embodied by Katniss. A young person should have the chance to make such a happy choice unburdened by the thought of dire consequences, but in a world where people are metaphorically (and almost literally) encouraged to eat each other, there is no freedom for that. The ultimate irony is that every reader that buys into the “Katniss has no time for love! she has a war to fight” line utterly misunderstands why Katniss becomes a force for change: yes, she has no time for love, and no one does, and that is wrong. The Capitol wants her to have the picture perfect domestic ending. Coin wants her to go out in a blaze of Mockingjay glory. The point of Katniss is that she wants neither prescribed end. Katniss wants something that is her own choice, and she spends a lot of the final book thinking that suicide is the answer, the act of autonomy. She comes full circle when she realizes that going on living is the act of autonomy, and only then is she able to begin to figure out who she is when she isn’t in defense mode. We don’t see much of it, but that’s the entire point. We’re not supposed to. She doesn’t give us intimate details about Peeta and her children because those things are most precious to her, now that they are true. She expects us, the readers, to have come to care for her enough to give her the privacy she deserves.

Oh god,you just unlocked a ton of memories in my head.

I have like 20+ new friends in my memory bank now..

Literally me rn

Sometimes, I miss people that used to be in my life and feel the urge to reach out and tell them "hey I know we don't talk anymore but I still fold my sweater the way you taught me to". Not in a "I want you back in my life" way but more of a "my life has more colors now because of all the days we spent laughing together and I'm thankful for that".

lucy gray, haymitch, and peeta are the performers. the ones who knew that in order to gain capitol favor, they needed to put on an act and sell it

sejanus, lenore dove, and katniss were the activists. constantly resisting, fighting, rebelling. even if in some cases, they never meant to after all

and because of that, snow hates them all, the bloody lot of them, all the same

actively succumbing to blood poisoning

literally had no heartbeat five seconds ago

Peeta Mellark, everyone: death itself cannot stop him being a cheeky little shit to Katniss
