no! "sapphic yearning" will kill the patient

she needs hardcore lezzing out in order to live

Sunrise on the Reaping changes the whole game. Suddenly, Katniss isn't the chosen one anymore, or the only person who can make the capital pay for what they have done. She's just a girl with a long list of grievances, coming from a long line of people with even longer lists who have been trying to make them pay for years.

She finds her victory standing on the backs of hundreds or thousands of people who came before her. All pushing for the same goal, all guided by the same anger and grief and the need to go out on their own terms. The same things that caused Katniss to reach for the poisoned berries for her and Peeta in the first place.

When Katniss gives her "fire is catching" it echos the same purpose the districts have had for centuries; honour the dead, make the capitol take responsibility: Sejanus with the breadcrumbs, Reaper; who covered his dead with the capitol flag, Haymitch running with Louella to make Snow face what he'd done, Haymitch running again with Lou Lou, Katniss covering Rue in flowers, Peeta painting a mural of her for the gamemakers, so when the last stand finally comes she has all of her living allies behind her, but not only that. It's like Haymitch said: "Those 31 allies I boasted of to the head game maker? I can feel every one of them at my back"

She has every person who suffered at the hands of the capital, every person who was abused, every person who was reaped too soon, every person who died, standing at her back and in the end I think that's what gave her the strength to finish the fight.

The head & the heart… or whatever

happy twink rebirth phil!

Wolfstar hits harder if Remus isn't conventionally attractive.

Because while Sirius is still deep in denial and internalized homophobia, he's convincing himself like "it's okay, i'm not gay, anyone would want to kiss Remus once in a while, he's just objectively hot"

Except Remus is awkward and quiet when not around friends, he's too tall like he grew up too fast and doesn't know what to do with this extra height, his scars scare people away, he wears grandpa sweaters, drinks tea in his free time and goes to sleep at 9 pm, he can't flirt for the life of him (even though he could bc he's witty and sarcastic) because he has no self-confidence and it shows.

He's basically a loser (affectionate) and Sirius is like "it's okay, no need to panic, he's the sexiest man on earth but that's just an astute observation, no gay thoughts here"

and i just think that's funny as hell

seriously WHAT was the reason to lean in like that

House: Guys check out this porno Wilson was in, isn't this hilarious?!

Apparently no one at the hospital: House, why did YOU watch the porno Wilson was in?

the episode 'Wilson' is sooo interesting because it's from wilson's perspective which means we only see house when he's interacting with wilson and he's! helpful! he's genuine. he's sincere. he's vulnerable. he's still an ass, but when it's weighed against house 1) trying to help wilson with his case 2) trying to keep wilson from getting hurt 3) running around the hospital on the hunt for a donor for wilson's patient ignoring his own case 4) admitting without wilson he'd be alone, a moment that catches the both of them by surprise by house's honesty and vulnerability 5) sticking by wilson's side post surgery making him laugh and keeping him in high spirits.

like.

house is a Grad A asshole, but with wilson??? from wilson's perspective?? he's sweet and protective and he is still prickly and terrible, but he's a good friend.
