Megs Fan Shit

Mickey 17 was sooooo good. I really liked Mickey 18's view of 17 especially. the concept of seeing a representation of yourself outside of you and being so disgusted by yourself that you shout at it and belittle it... feeling like you're having a constant mirror held to the most pathetic, snivelling parts of you. hating that version of yourself and wanting it dead and wanting it gone, but then seeing your partner still love that version of you, too. and how could you want to kill something that your partner loves?

But also the reason for hating him too! Having to face the self that constantly gives in, gets walked all over and doesn’t fight back at the constant injustices you face, but the one that is also resilient, who takes everything thrown at you, so you know they’ll be just fine even without the new version of you to speak up for and defend them (because thank god his partner already had that part on lock, man’s really lets himself be thrown around).

There’s also probably something deeper about not needing the same trauma responses because you are no longer in a survival (*abusive*) situation anymore, so you can heal and go back to a different version of yourself because the danger is over and the worst is past you

Almost 1 week since I watched peak. Couple of the year… No… century

no one appreciates that i could be a million times worse

“sotr is mid because you already know how it ends” shut the fuck up, the point of the book is that despite knowing how it ends you would have never known what actually went down because that’s the point of propaganda, the whole book is about the power of propaganda

YES!! We know how the story ends, but we only know what Katniss was allowed to see 25 years later, what the audience in the districts and the capitol saw, but seeing it through Haymitch’s eyes is a completely different thing. We’re seeing what actually happened, not the clean anti propaganda capitol version.

“I can't do this without you. I can't live without you”

This mf has never looked more handsome. It's the blood. The yearning. It's the motherfucking romance

Suzanne Collins really has the protocol down. On average twice a decade she writes a press release that's like "in one year there will be a new book and in two years there will be a movie based on said book. Here is the one philosopher I'll be referencing, and here is what upset me this time on the news enough to write another book. Enjoy!" and then she collects her millions, drops another banger, and doesn't go on twitter ever

I grew up with Studio Ghibli, its dared me to dream, to be emotionally invested in characters, It makes me want to sit down and draw. I'm grateful for human art and the emotional time and effort that comes with the process.

hayffie !!!

Annie and Finnick wearing Katniss and Peeta's outfits for their wedding 🥺, Peeta making their wedding cake 🥺, Katniss saying their wedding is one of the few things she doesn't have to pretend to be happy about 🥺

Okay I can't stop thinking about the line in Mockingjay where Katniss notices that Finnick does not let go of Annie's hand after they're reunited

And she thinks it's because he is afraid to lose her again, which I'm sure is a significant factor

But I also. I can't. I can't stop thinking that

That this is the first time Finnick can hold her hand in public. The first time he can hold her hand where people will see them. Because he is finally no longer the Capitol's golden playboy. He can hold the hand of the woman he loves and it doesn't have to be a secret anymore. He can hold Annie's hand without that simple action putting both of them in danger.

And don't even get me started about their wedding being broadcast into the Capitol. Finnick Odair, famous for "going through four or five" "lovers" every time he is forced to return to the Capitol. Finnick Odair, who was repeatedly sold to the highest bidders, who had to act for the cameras - and even away from the cameras! - that he liked it, that he wanted it. Who could never even risk marrying the woman he loved in secret because of what would be done to her if he did.

Finnick Odair gets to hold Annie Cresta's hand without fear of who sees them. And Finnick Odair, the Capitol's golden slave, and Annie Cresta, the girl who went mad and only survived the Arena because she could swim, get to swear vows of love and fidelity in front of everyone. In front of the cameras they had up til then feared seeing any move they made. They are married in front of those same cameras. They kiss, and they dance, and it is celebrated.

And Finnick doesn't let go of her hand.

everyone please take a moment to look and admire this beautiful annie art i commissioned from @charlunday!!! it’s so stunning, the hair, the colouring, the little details like her pearls cutting across her throat, i am in love 🥰 they’re accepting commissions right now, so run don’t walk!

Remember what he did to them

The survivors of District 12 singing and dancing at Finnick and Annie's wedding hits so different after reading/watching tbosas. Can you imagine Snow's reaction to that propo? No matter how hard he tried to erase Lucy Gray and to obliterate District 12, she lived on in her music, music which is kept alive by the people of the place she once called home.
