Finally saw Black Widow and let me just say...
I would die for Yelena
Rewatching WandaVision "Boys handle the military" is the most underapreciated line in the MCU
I forget x-men first class is an action/sci-fi film and not a rom-com
I'm not going to say I had a bad day because I'm low key in a good mood, but let's just say there were no stops to get off the struggle bus today.
6 months ago I fell in love My future felt so sure It was something wonderful. Something I've never felt before I felt it in my heart; I knew it in my mind
Slowly but surely it seemed to fade, And now we're out of time. So happy Valentines day darling... A day we'll never get to share. Sometimes I'm glad you're gone. Sometimes I fear no one will ever compare
I'll miss your perfect face and the way you held me close at night. But I won't miss feeling out of place, like something wasn't right.
I'll miss the dreams we used to have of a future we could share. But I won't miss being told you're my savior because that wasn't fucking fair.
When we were both our best selves, we were a perfect match.
I slowly lost myself by clinging to you. You confused me, but to you, I latched.
So happy Valentines day darling! to all we could've been. to all we never were. and all we never will be again.
why isn't it socially acceptable to hit on people in a university library? Was it? Is it? Like I know we're all here to do work or whatever but like what a meet cute. And you find someone that cares enough about school/career to be there in the first place but is relaxed enough to take a break and ask you out? Yes please!
Some people watching WandaVision: That’s so fucked up, why would Wanda do that? Wanda needs to work through her issues in healthier ways
Me watching WandaVision: Altering reality- what a sick coping mechanism! shame it turned out to be unethical because that’s a perfectly valid response
Bear in mind this may change as I read further...
So one of my friends started reading Sunrise on the Reaping and said she doesn't like it because it feels like there are too many call backs to other parts of the series that feel gimmicky and like they are catering to fans. Partially, I agree. Especially with Lenore Dove being covey. The amount it's mentioned feels a little gimmicky but it also serves a purpose in that it answers questions the readers had about what happened to these people.
Similarly the inclusion of characters that we see or hear about in the original trilogy serves the function of answering readers questions. I also think that because we know what happens to these characters it shows that Haymitch had a similar upbringing and could just as easily have ended up with a similar future to them.
What is truly tragic about this novel is that while you can see how the young Haymitch we are presented with becomes the Haymitch we know, we can also imagine all the other paths his life could have taken.
Quite similar to how Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes offers alternatives foe who Coriolanus could have been. It shows that Snow was presented with choices and ultimately chose power over everything else. For Snow the key word is choice. To some extent Haymitch has less agency but to another extent his story is about choices of when to rebel and when to stay quiet.
Growing up seems like it sucks. Ya know? I'm good with 16. 17 is as close to adulthood as I'm willing to get. Independent but not like responsible for anything
can someone who knows how to make edits make an agathario edit to Rio by Duran Duran?
my ducks are not in a row but they are all wandering in vaguely the same direction
