I have so many Thoughts about the aftg characters and so much to Say but i can only express it in fictional writing and im incapable of finishing a fic, and most of my ideas are just loose sentences or fragments of a bigger work anyway/:

Anyways here is a, very much uneditet, very much work in progress, thing i needed to get out about Nicky and Allison:

The mental breakdown finds Allison at Nicky’s door. He takes one look at her, all blotchy red and smaller than she’s ever been, and says “Damn girl, let’s cut you some bangs” which sound infinitely smarter than putting her fingers down her throat or drinking her weight in vodka. When he’s drunk, dancing the night away all loud and obnoxious it’s easy to forget that he was practically married at eighteen and raising teenagers at nineteen, but as he wipes away her mascara tracks and tell her to take a shower Allison is hit with the reminder that Nicky might be the most adult friend she has. She lets the hot water calm her down and when she’s done he greets her with a plate of food. It’s not a meal, more like mixtures of different bite-sized snacks, the sort of food she relearned to eat when she was recovering, and while she’s chewing on a grape he brings out the scissors and takes her to the bathroom. He doesn’t ask, just goes on about her hair quality and how cute she will look, practised from all his experience with self-destructive sixteen-year-olds, both from the twins, and from being one himself once.

I might be adding nothing to your addition/pointing out the obvious, but I got rlly excited, sorry. I just think it's genius. Micheal the angel fighting the devil which has taken the form of a dragon!! Dragon, or drake in swedish!!! DRAKE!!!! (The name Drake also derives from the old norse word for dragon)

hey has anyone pointed out the fact that neil’s mother was named mary (as in jesus’ mother) and his bf’s middle name is joseph (as in jesus’ earthly father)?? that’s gotta mean something but idk what. best i can come up with is nora feeling silly about neil’s daddy issues

EDIT: i cracked it. as neil’s biological mother, mary feels a responsibility for him based on their shared lineage and half of him being her. in contrast, andrew—like joseph—chooses to care for neil without an underlying sense of familial obligation

My hc (that is a bit far-fetched from canon, but were having fun ok?) is that he believes the twins just have an odd sense of humour, and finds them hilarious. After a while the twins genuinely starts to like him, because its impossible not to when he is absolutely delighted to see them every time. Its like this:

Andrew, dead serious: I'm going to stab you

Erik, in a heavy german accent: Hah! This guy! So silly!

Hot take:

You guys aren't making Erik weird enough. You're making him too conventionally cool. Do you know Uyen Ninh? And her German boyfriend? Erik should be more like that guy, but weirder. His hobbies are now hiking, cycling, (maybe kayaking and skiing?) and collecting fossils. He eats weird German food. He has a resting bitchface in public but is actually a sweetheart. If he wears Cargo shorts or long jeans depends on some cosmic force and not the weather. Sometimes he even wears sandals with socks. He drags Nicky on 'walks' but really they're hiking for 10 km. He stops at red lights even when the street is empty and follows every rule and law to a T (king of malicious compliance). His favorite animal is some random kind of caterpillar. He can drink any of the foxes under the table with ease (he's been drinking beer since he was 13 and the amout and percentage of alkohol in his drinks keeps going up the older he gets). He constantly complains about american beer. He gets very serious over football (he refuses to say soccer) and once a year he goes crazy during Karneval. He can speak fluent english without accent but refuses to do so. Any animal he pets (no matter what species) he calls "Mausi". He wears "softshelljacken". When he goes to the beach or the pool he reserves a spot with a towel (and when people at those places stare at his boyfriend he drapes a towel over him). People question why such a boring guy is dating Nicky, but Erik is honestly kind of a weirdo.

Werther/Lotte/Albert (The Sorrows of Young Werther): yes, the only problem Albert and Werther had with eachother was other people questioning why Werther hung around Alberts and Lottes place all the time. Before that they were all, like, totally cool with eachother, and probably a bit in love too

rating whether polyamory would solve famous love triangle plots

Arthur/Guinevere/Lancelot (Arthuriana): no because Mordred and Agravaine would not be let in on the mutual consent and would still try to catch Guinevere cheating

Tristan/Iseult/Mark (Tristania): absolutely not because Mark is Tristan’s uncle

Tristan/Iseult/Palomides (Tristania): absolutely yes because between Palomides and Iseult all of Tristan’s most unhelpful impulses would be balanced out

Peeta/Katniss/Gale (Hunger Games): polyamory alone cannot defeat an authoritarian dystopia

Cyrano/Roxanne/Christian (Cyrano de Bergerac): solves every problem in the first 3 acts, solves no problems in the 4th

Wesley/Buttercup/Humperdink (The Princess Bride): while Wesley would be happy living as buttercups side piece, the problem is no amount of mutual consent will fulfill prince humperdinks emotional need to be at war. so no

Orsino/Viola/Olivia (Twelfth Night): most of it yes as long as Sebastian fucks that pirate

Heathcliff/Catherine/Edgar (Wuthering Heights): Technically yes but they all have so many emotional issues that new problems would immediately arise and Catherine would still die of being stressed out by the whole thing

Mark Antony/Cleopatra/Caesar (Antony and Cleopatra): well vibes-wise they were probably all fucking in real life and clearly polyamory alone did not save the Roman Republic

Menelaos/Helen/Paris (The Iliad etc): polyamory alone CAN stop the Trojan war as long as the Greeks know Menelaos tops

Florence/The Russian/Svetlana (Chess): polyamory alone cannot stop the Cold War

The Dutchman/Sente/Erik (The Flying Dutchman): solves every interpersonal problem but would actively damn the Dutchman to wander the seas forever

Mathilde/Julien/Mme de Renal (The Red and the Black): a rare case where polyamory would make everything WORSE! Fucking two people at the same time would make poor asexual Julien even more miserable and more people would die. Mme de Renal’s guilt would be even more destructive. Mathilde would suicide bait everyone else involved.

Raoul/Christine/Erik (Phantom of the Opera): probably not but i want to say yes because its such a funny concept

Jacques/Severine/Roubaud (La Bête Humaine): no! Jacques would just sexually commit TWO murders

Katniss is like Lucy Gray this, Katniss is like Sejanus that, and yes find that's all good and true and lovely but Katniss Everdeen is also a direct parallel to Coriolanus Snow and people NEED to start talking about this because it's driving me crazy.

Think about it: they both grew up poor and deeply vulnerable, losing parents at a very young age, with a matriarchal adult (Katniss' mother and Coriolanus' Grandma'am) who fails to provide for them emotionally and physically. They intimately understand the threat of starvation, even developing with stunted growth because of it, and their narrations in the books share a fixation on food. Throughout their childhoods, both experienced constant fear and suffered a fundamental lack of control over their circumstances. Because of this, they're inherently suspicious of the people around them. They resent feeling indebted to others, especially those who have saved their lives. They're motivated almost entirely by family and deeply connected to their communities. Both are used and manipulated by the Capitol, both are forced to perform to survive and despise every inch of it, both are thrown into the Arena and made to kill. Both have a self-sacrificial, genuinely sweet sister figure acting as their conscience. Peeta and Lucy Gray - performers and love interests with a fundamental kindness and sense of hope about them - fulfill markedly similar roles in their narrative. Both contribute to the development of the future Hunger Games, Snow throughout tbosas and Katniss towards the end of Mockingjay.

It's easy to ignore these similarities because, as mirrors of each other, they are exact opposites. Katniss is from District 12, viewed and treated as less than human; Snow is the cream of the Capitol crop, given the privilege of a name with social weight, an ancestral home, and the opportunity of the Academy despite having no more money than a miner from 12. Katniss has no agency over her life, and responds by being kind whenever she's able, while Snow justifies horrendous evils in order to continue his quest for complete control. Katniss does everything she can to protect her family; Snow does everything he can to protect his family's image as an extension of his own ego. Katniss loves her District and connects with its inhabitants on a meaningful level, but Snow is indifferent at best to his peers - the apparent "superior people" - and only engages with his community for personal gain. Katniss emerges from the Arena horrified at herself and the system, but Snow takes his trauma and turns it into an excuse to perpetuate the violence with himself at the top. Katniss cares for Prim until her death and then snaps at the loss of her little sister, while Snow survives on Tigris' blood, sweat, and tears and then torments and abandons her, presumably because she calls him out on his insanity. Snow actively adds to and popularizes the Hunger Games because of his vendetta against the Districts following his childhood wartime trauma - Katniss briefly agrees to a new Hunger Games in the pursuit of vengeance, but later stops them from happening by killing Coin and choosing a life of peace and privacy. Snow is obsessed with revenge, but Katniss empathizes with the Capitolites and does what she can to keep them from suffering. He exists in a cruel system and selfishly upholds it; she exists in a cruel system and works to dismantle it for the good of her family and community, at great personal cost. And Peeta and Lucy Gray are incredibly similar, but Katniss and Peeta forge a relationship of genuine love and understanding that shines in comparison to Coriolanus' obsessive projection onto Lucy Gray.

So, yeah, Katniss is Lucy Gray haunting Coriolanus. But I bet you anything that eighty-something year old President Snow looks at her, the girl on fire, bright and young and brilliant, emerging from a childhood of starvation with a relentless hunger for success, a talented and charming performer helping her win the Games, and he sees the ghost of his own past. And that's why he's so afraid of her! Because if he sees himself in her, then he's up against his own cunning, his own talent for manipulation, his own charisma, his own genius. He's up against the version of himself that he once wished to be, with the nightmare army of his childhood at her back and her star-crossed lover at her side, spewing Sejanus' truths in his own voice. This isn't to say that Katniss ever achieved the level of power and agency that Coriolanus did during her time with the rebellion, but it is to say that Snow was taken down by what truly terrified him - his own morality, come to finish the job.

Ugh it kills me that crowley said "heaven and hell are both corrupt, we should distance ourselves from that and work together" and aziraphale heard "i dont want to go to heaven with you" and aziraphale said "heaven and hell are both corrupt, but with powerful positions we can change it from the inside" and crowley heard "i dont want to stay here with you"
