notes on a lonely history of love

when fleabag said “you know how to love better than any of us thats why you find it so painful” and when hill house said “i loved you completely and you loved me the same. the rest is confetti” and when bly manor said “to truly love another person is to accept the work of loving them is worth the pain of losing them” and when the good place said “if soulmates do exist theyre not found theyre made. people meet they get a good feeling and then they get to work building a relationship” and when schitts creek said “ive spent most of my life not knowing what right was supposed to feel like. and then i met you and everything changed. you make me feel right” and when maria semple said “i felt so full of love for everything but at the same time i felt so hung out to dry there like nobody could ever understand. i felt so alone in this world and so loved at the same time” and when jim croce said “i looked around enough to know that youre the one i want to go through time with” and when house comes with a bird said “’where do you see yourself in a year?’ with you ‘and the year after?’ at your side ‘and the year after?’ always with you ‘and after?’ in your arms ‘i want a dog’ lets get two” and when russian doll said “you had no obligation but you loved me anyway, right?” and when ted lasso said “if there was something i could do or something i could say that would make you happy just being with me id do it” and when superstore said “i hated how you believed that life could be better than it was. but here we are. and my life is so much better than it was because of you” and when everything everywhere all at once said “i would have loved doing laundry and taxes with you” and when jenny slate said “im stuck here in a cycle and i am getting older but i am not growing up and my heart is getting soft dark spots on it like a fruit that has gone bad or is soft because too many hands have squeezed it but then put it back down” and when brandi carlile said “me out in my garden and you out on your walk is all the distance this poor girl can take without listening to you talk” and when 

In Mockingjay Part 2 when Peeta has lost his mind and is dropped off with Katniss and the rebel party who are about to kill Snow. The others treat Peeta as a threat, but Finnick steps in when they raise their weapons against Peeta and is shown the entire time as being patient with him and has Peeta repeat phrases that help his mind and that he would need to repeat to Panem, and he also advises him to just ask when Peeta tells Katniss he doesn’t know the difference between what’s real or not real.

Finnick is the only one in the party that has the patience for Peeta (outside of Katniss’s love for Peeta that is) when his mind is shattered because he's used to helping and being so patient over the years with Annie that he immediately does it with Peeta.

i am not your pet. i never liked you.

oh, i'm full–grown, sweetheart. you don't have to worry about me.

i don't care about you. i won't wait for you.

i'm not a violent dog. i don't know why i bite.

you have a conspiracy theory?

sometimes i lose my temper and blow off a little steam, but i've never enjoyed it.

my friends think i like to fight, but it's just not true.

you took me in, like a stray dog.

i can see you've been mistreated.

who told you that dirty lie?

i lost all my spirit, i'm depressing.

i think i might give up.

are we eating him or is this a rescue?

i wouldn't drink that if i were you.

i recognize you from when i heard that rumor.

you're the best in a scrap. we all know that you like to fight.

you hungry? kill something and eat it.

nobody's giving up around here, and don't you forget it.

let's wait a second before we attack each other and tear ourselves to shreds.

if we don't drown, i'm gonna strangle you myself.

you cold? dig a hole in the ground, crawl into it, and bury yourself.

don't ask me to fetch that stick.

i don't care. i'm used to leftovers.

i'll always be loyal to you, but circumstances have radically changed for me.

i can't protect you efficiently under these conditions.

i was the one that tried to make you be loyal in the first place.

i'm not doing this because you commanded me to.

where do you get all these rumors? i mean, who tells them to you?

i'm doing it because i feel sorry for you.

that's highly confidential. um, anyway.

i don't know anything, i should've kept my mouth shut.

i can hear you. i can hear you.

i don't think i can stomach anymore of this garbage.

so how does it feel to be a former stray?

i guess it scared me.

this is my new favorite food. thank you.

i thought you knew all about me.

it wasn't my choice. i don't consider it my identity.

so you know a few tricks, then.

i'm gonna drag you out with my teeth, since you can't understand the plan.

i lost my train of thought. dammit!

only reason i even said that is because we're all probably going to die out here.

look at it that way. you're probably safer than i am.

i'll be compelled to defend myself with all the means at my disposal.

i was dying. do you judge me for that?

are you okay? how can i be of service to you?

you're not safe here. you shouldn't have come for me.

people talk, and i listen. always have.

come sit beside me. it's okay.

“We like to think we are so smart and we have all the answers. And we want to pass all that on to our children, but if you scratch beneath the surface you don’t have to dig very deep to find the kid you were.”

love is a scorch mark on the ceiling.
