Can’t get over how tough and apathetic Nat pretends to be until someone yells at her or expresses disappointment in her and suddenly she’s shrinking and crying and revealing herself to be the open, bleeding heart that she actually is.

“No one wanted to play with me as a little kid

So I've been scheming like a criminal ever since

To make them love me and make it seem effortless

This is the first time I've felt the need to confess

And I swear

I'm only cryptic and Machiavellian 'cause I care”

propaganda im NOOOOT falling for!!!!!!!

– infantilizing lottie's decisions

– purifying lottie's decisions

– justifying lottie's decisions

– defending lottie's decisions

– not accepting that your fave can be flawed and multi-faceted

– writing off trav's sa because of the shrooms/because he's a boy

– thinking that having a favorite character means swearing up and down they've never done anything wrong

– saying 'I miss medicated/normal lottie' instead of 'I miss pre-crash/stable lottie'

"gen alpha is so dumb" "gen alpha is doomed" "gen alpha is a bunch of ipad babies" AND WHOSE FAULT IS THAT?!?!

i hate when rich people condescend with the whole 'money can't buy happiness' argument like listen. just because buying your fourth car didn't fill the void in your deluded disconnected-from-reality life doesn't mean not having to worry about food/ bills/medicine wouldn't greatly improve the mental health of literally everyone else on the planet

Been like this since November...

[lolathelooptyloop]

Katniss Everdeen says Peeta wanted kids. I say Katniss Everdeen is a dirty little liar who spent three books projecting baby fever onto the softest man alive while denying it so hard she almost gaslit herself.

And because I'm tired of arguing that Peeta didn't force Katniss to have kids, here's my probable version of what went down:

baby fever, but make it apocalyptic — everlark

it starts when delly has a baby

and katniss gets to hold it and it squeaks

her uterus literally tingles

cue immediate panic

she hands it back like it burned her

and then she immediately goes outside to shoot at squirrels until the feeling goes away

except—

(it doesn't really go away)

the next two weeks are a torture

"not everyone deserves to be a parent"

"what if they cry a lot"

"what if they're angry like me"

"what if they're allergic to bread"

"what if our child hates me"

"what if our child hates peeta"

no

no one can hate peeta

"but what if—"

it's exhausting

she steers clear of delly and her spawn the next few days

it doesn't work

her nightmares take a strange turn

she sees herself carrying a baby through the woods as she hunts

the baby giggles

another baby sits on the kitchen counter

with peeta's eyes and peeta's face

in matching aprons as peeta

and ugh—

she almost misses the mutts

anyway, she reorganizes the pantry

alphabetizes the herbs

knits something she insists is a herb pouch

but it's suspiciously baby-sized

eventually, it gets too much

and peeta is not helping

he's holding delly's baby when she visits him at the bakery

the baby is laughing

well, fuck

her whole resolve crumbles

he's making bread

she blurts, "your forearms are nice"

"thanks?"

"mm, they would be good for carrying things"

peeta raises a brow

"heavy things— like... sacks"

"sacks."

"or— like, baskets."

katniss is embarassed

peeta is visibly confused

and haymitch—

haymitch is dying of laughter

"did you know babies can't see color for weeks?"

"katniss."

"i just wanted to share a fact."

"katniss."

"it didn't mean anything. shut up."

and then she starts knitting a tiny hat

“is that for delly’s baby?”

"no."

"a friend’s baby?”

"no.”

"...katniss.”

peeta has suspicions

and they're confirmed when he finds her journal open to a page

titled: NAMES FOR HYPOTHETICAL BABY

Ember

Rue Rue ❤

Bread Jr.

NOT GALE

it ends like this—

Peeta, eventually: “Do you want to have ki—”

“YES”

“i didn’t even finish the word”

"i mean... i will if I have to, if you want too much... i mean i want to if you want to, i mean— because i love you so much."

“are you sure?”

“are you sure?”

"uh huh”

oh.

katniss blinks

"wait— that's it?"

"katniss, i've been waiting for you to stop glitching long enough to bring it up.”

she punches his arm

he laughs

haymitch starts prepping a baby-proof survival kit

no one dares ask what's in it

nine months later—

the baby is just as beautiful as she imagined

good thing peeta convinced her to have babies, really

i know it's exaggerated for comedy purposes but this is really not that far from the course of events i imagine happened— katniss is an expert at gaslighting herself after all— and I hope you liked it.

me staring at the search bar trying to decide which fictional man I’ll read about tonight:

[lolathelooptyloop]

being so staunchly anti generative ai while everyone around you is "i used chatgpt" and "i asked grok" and google search is useless and every company is implementing ai and every single celeb is taking ai money and partnering with ai is like... it's so jarring. why can't you see the harm like i can? why are you so lazy? why are we making society this stupid? can we please stop? it's killing people does that not matter to you?

[lolathelooptyloop]

They’re gonna kick me out of the movie theater because I’m sobbing so loud and hard when I tell you the second I saw these posters I started crying I mean it.

[lolathelooptyloop]

hihi. kill me

when lenore dove comes to me now, she’s not angry or dying (…). she’s grown older with me, her face etched with fine lines, her hair touched with gray. like she’s been living her life beside me as the years passed, instead of lying in her grave. still so rare and radiant.

prints + merch + commission info pinned to profile :)

"and the tribute who's escaped the arena is louella"

"wyatt callow, whose luck just ran out"

"whoever lou lou was, she's moved on"

"a small white skeleton, stripped clean to the bone"

"goodbye maysilee donner, whom i loathed, then grudgingly respected, then loved"

"dove-colored feathers. headless baby chick"

"ma and sid are being burned alive"

"but when i pull back, i taste the poison and know she is gone"

haymitch's doves, in the order he lost them.

[lolathelooptyloop]

Still have no idea how to draw side face though i don't think i would ever make an effort

I want them to kiss for my mental health

[lolathelooptyloop]

i hate him for the time he’s gone
