The Guanyin Temple Confession Is Maybe My Favorite Scene Of Any Piece Of Media I've Ever Consumed Because

*clutches fist* I just … the impact of the two children cannot be overstated … a girl and a boy, in some ways representative of all the girls and boys lost to the Games before their time … the way they are a noted synthesis of their parents’ features, the marriage of Seam and town, and the culmination of many other characters of the series with these same distinct features … the way they are described as dancing … and chubby … when their parents starved and fought … these little ones get to play … and be so well fed their mother calls attention to the healthy fat her toddler has … how Katniss and Peeta intend to teach their children how to be brave and intend to show them the good things people can do … but this isn’t something they’ll learn on their own by the harsh experience of cruelty and loss … their parents are loving and gentle and will guide them in ways their own parents could not or did not … these babies who are free to take Maude Ivory’s lullaby for granted … babies who have a father who wanted them so much, and have a mother who felt a joy so strong it tamed her most primal fears when she held them … her children … given epithets like their father … unaware of the fact that they walk on a graveyard … but also unaware, like their mother is, that a songbird and snake once walked here, and that with their existence, the legacy of the songbird’s nearly prophetic music has come to fruition and the snake is crushed … *help*

we all have that one boy💌

(I’m sorry) …

I hope one day we can try again

& I mean really, really try.

on a scale of "today, of all days, see, how the most dangerous thing is to love" to "oh, will wonders ever cease? blessed be the mystery of love", today i'm feeling like "know that i would gladly be the Icarus to your certainty"

should i eat first or shower first *has phone in couch time for another 3 hours due to choice procrastination, a behavioral phenomenon observed in pigeons and rats as well*

What do you mean you can’t produce art without using chatgpt because you have no ideas. What do you mean you can’t write a basic fucking essay without using chatgpt. What do you MEAN you can’t do RESEARCH without it?!?!?!?!??!?! IT CAN’T DO RESEARCH. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ARE YOU ALL LOSING YOUR DAMN MINDS. You can’t have a fucking coherent original thought?!?!?!?! You’re not capable of thinking for yourself??? Oh my fucking GOD yeah let’s just destroy the planet because we’re too incompetent to fucking use our brains
