thinking about how the hunger games were designed to prove that without society, order, government, someone to rule, we devolve into little more than animals, and how the games themselves prove over and over again that this is not true. We see it in every single game we witness.

Katniss placing flowers around Rue's body in the arena. Thresh sparing Katniss because she was kind to Rue, even though he was making it that much harder for himself to win.

Haymitch going back for Maysilee after hearing her scream even though their alliance had been broken. Haymitch holding her as she dies the same way Katniss did Rue.

Coral's "I can't have killed them all for nothing" when she realizes she's not going home. Lamina cutting down Marcus at great personal risk. And, my favorite moment in tbosas, Reaper collecting the bodies of his fellow tributes, his peers, even the ones who tried to kill him, into a pile. Taking the weapons from their hands. Closing their eyes and crossing their arms in the best approximation of a proper burial he can manage, covering them with the Capitol flag as a makeshift shroud.

The Games bring out the worst in people, yes. But despite the extreme circumstances, despite the exterior pressure of the Capitol, despite the fact that it could mean pain and heartbreak and death, it also shows that people have an enormous capacity for goodness. That even in a situation purposefully designed to make empathy impossible, people can't help but have it anyway.

Snow looks at the Games and all he can see is what's inside himself-- this pure animalistic drive to conquer and defeat. He kills and it feels good and he thinks that everyone else must feel that way too. He doesn't realize (maybe can't realize) that he is the exception, not the rule. He cannot see outside himself, outside his own warped perspective, to realize that the fact that people do show humanity in the games proves his entire worldview wrong.

I want to live near a lake so I can visit the ducks and geese everyday. </3

I cry every time I watch this movie but I love it so much. </3

It reminds me of my childhood dog, he died of old age last year at 18 years old. :') At least he had a good and long life.

"like a dog is afraid of thunder or balloons. to you, science is magic and witchcraft because you have such small minds. i cannot make your heads bigger, but your children's heads, i can take them and crack them open. this is what I try to do, to get at their brains!"

It looks like cotton candy, I love it. ♥

Siempre quise teñirme de rosa pastel, lástima que al tener el pelo oscuro la decoloración me deja el pelo en pausa más o menos. Algún día será. :') </3

Tutankhamun Headrest

An ivory headrest with the god Shu holding the sky above his head. The two lions symbolize the mountains on the eastern and western horizons, between which the sun rose and set which, in this very case, is represented by the king himself. The headrest was designed to support the pharaoh’s head between the two horizons as he traveled through the afterlife.
