Also idk if I need to state this publicly again but hello, Ai is my name and I'm an artist but I draw things with my hands. I'm not artificial intelligence; if anything, I'm organic stupidity.

can we talk about miss huang though. can we talk about eustice huang. can we talk about “your bed will be moved from your parents’ home” can we talk about her literally having to smash her toy (on milchick’s orders!!!) can we talk about her finally stating to show some sympathy for the innies. can we talk about her witnessing dylan fill out the resignation form and the last thing he says being telling her it isn’t her fault. can we talk about her waiting on the curb all alone like it’s a school bus. can someone save this poor child

Suzanne C. really saw all those anti-Effie dummies trying that hard to create the narrative where she was a bad person —selfish, indifferent, who doesn’t care about anyone but herself— and not just a regular capitol citizen who were drowned in propaganda since she’s born. And said fine, if you all won’t get the point by yourselves, i’ll have to spell it out. In a totalitarian regime you can’t hold everyone’s responsible for the system they were born into. Ignorance is a real weapon for submission. Take away the right of someone to developed critical thinking and you’ll dominate them completely. Make them trust you to keep them safe and you’ll have their eternal loyalty. And when someone has your mind and body in their hands, there is nothing you can do but to believe on them. There is nothing you can do but go down on your knees and show them all of your gratitude for the privilege of peace and protection

It's funny when people in the fandom complain about us "woobifying Ed" or whatever because in my experience it's more like

Fanon!Ed: Cool Confident Guy Who Fucks Like a Machine

Canon!Ed: total dork, refers to sex as "intercourse", came up with an elaborate scheme to make the guy he likes hold him (getting stabbed), theater kid, definitely practiced that dramatic entrance ("The Gentleman Pirate, I presume?") in the mirror, gets flustered when Anne and Mary ask if him and Stede have fucked yet, switches clothes with Stede after knowing him for less than a day, got stuck hanging in his own harness, scared of spiders, proudly shows Stede the small fish he caught, definitely would have a Tumblr blog.

lumon at its core is about avoiding the uncomfortable.

cobel’s mother’s room is locked and is not to be opened until everyone who ever knew her is “with kier.” when she goes to open the door sissy says all that’s inside is pain.

even without severance they choose to lock away the most painful parts of life until everyone who could feel that pain is gone.

I don't think people are upset enough about Louella and Lou Lou. There's a LOT to discuss about sotr both from a fictional and political standpoint for sure. But the thing that makes this part of the story especially heinous and gut punching is that there was no way to be prepared for that. Louella dying during the chariot crash???? Shocking but anyone who read tbosbs knows the Capitol isn't above proceeding without the "right" number of tributes. Even sotr up to that point makes you think maybe they'll reap another poor child from 12. But I felt physically ill at the introduction of "Lou Lou". At first,I thought the Capitol had somehow reanimated her corpse into some sick cyborg mutt. But what they did to that poor district 11 girl is about on par with that. She was likely another example of revenge by proxy that Snow loves to employ. Haymitch muses that Lou Lou probably doesn't have any family left to care what happened to her. But it's very possible that she does and that they had to helplessly watch their daughter speak with someone else's voice,her mental state depleted by torture and brainwashing as they lose her yet again for good

odysseus absolutely does present a threat to penelope if he perceives her as at all unfaithful, and i feel the unfairness of this, and i think people tend to undersell how much tension at least potentially exists between odysseus and penelope. but i'm also like. his reaction, all speculation aside, his actual reaction in the odyssey to her flirting with the suitors is delight, because he immediately ascertains that she is running a con. sorry that they're so in-sync in spite of the forces that try to drive a wedge between them, including their own misgiving hearts. sorry that they invented homophrosyne ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The reveal of how Effie got involved with Haymitch, and by extension, District Twelve, is actually so funny. Like this poor woman helped her baby sister with her schoolwork ONE TIME and it spiraled into Effie literally getting accused of helping to start a revolution that eventually killed the president.

“No, [...] we need someone exactly like you.”

"Just luckier?"

i know stede bonnet's hair is magic because it looked like this RIGHT after he took off that wig (still holding the wretched thing in his hands)

“Well, there’s no proof that will happen. You can’t count on things happening tomorrow just because they happened in the past. It’s faulty logic.”

How are we holding up? I’m still crying about Lenore Dove and the gumdrops

[finn-tellectual]

Someone just like you but luckier, indeed.
