Whence comes this melody constantly flowing? Is it rejoicing or merely hallooing? Are you discussing, or fussing, or simply dreaming?

sooo like so like. do we think about how many people haymitch has lost within his life. assuming that his father dies sometime within his childhood because haymitch bares no mention of him and the lack of a father goes unquestioned, that's one. within the 50th with maysliee's death, that's two. 2 weeks post-games, his mother, brother, and girlfriend all are killed. five deaths. from the 51st hunger games and onwards it's racking up to 51, considering that each and every mentee minus katniss and peeta die. (being 46 in total.) so before katniss & peeta are in the picture he's already grappled with that many deaths. so it makes sense that he's so contorted by memories and blood and anguish.
hence why i cannot believe that his family's deaths were the tipping point to start his addiction because there's so much burden to come further within his life. it's a steady journey of hope into despair and desperation and trying so hard to forget. and with these deaths he's so adamantly this embodiment of an overly-empathetic persona. he does anything and everything to keep both kids alive, despite the personal sacrifices. he has such a huge saviour complex and it stems from loss and failure. failure to win, to truly survive. and yet he keeps surviving despite.

Anyway pentiment be like. This is an inescapable tragedy. This is incredibly beautiful. This is unspeakably mundane. This is going to have you lying on the floor thinking about art and the soul and life's calling and, above all, love.

Jacqueline looked confused. Then she laughed till tears streamed down her cheeks. “Honey,” she’d start, but she was laughing too hard to continue. “Honey. You can’t learn to fuck from reading Popular Mechanics. That isn’t what makes a butch a good lover.”
This was exactly what I needed to know! “Well, what does make a butch a good lover?” I asked, trying to sound like the answer didn’t mean all that much to me.
Her face softened. “That’s kinda hard to explain. I guess being a good lover means respecting a femme. It means listening to her body. And even if the sex gets a little rough, or whatever, that it’s what she wants too, and inside you’re still coming from a gentle place. Does that make sense?”
It did not. It was less information than I wanted. It turned out, however, to be the information I needed. It just took thinking about it for the rest of my life.
Jacqueline took the rubber cock from my hands. Had I been holding it all this time? She placed it carefully on my thigh. My body temperature rose. She began to touch it gently, like it was something really beautiful.
“You know, you could make a woman feel real good with this thing. Maybe better than she ever felt in her life.” She stopped stroking the dildo. “Or you could really hurt her, and remind her of all the ways she’s ever been hurt in her life. You got to think about that every time you strap this on. Then you’ll be a good lover.”
I waited, hoping there was more. There was not. Jackie got up and puttered around the kitchen. I went to bed. I tried to memorize every word that had been said to me before I fell asleep.

“Fuck ‘till death do we part,” Steve presses their foreheads together hard enough to feel the wrinkle in between Steve’s brow, “we’re long past that, baby.”
Eddie laughs a watery, startled sound from deep inside of him, stale around the edges but true in nature just like the rest of it.
“‘Till afterdeath,” he grins, the slip of tears down his cheeks transferring onto Steve’s when he kisses the corner of his mouth, nuzzling in so, impossibly close.
