so i've been listening to the audiobooks of the hunger games series and decided i should watch the movies, which i've never done before, and uhhhhhhh these movies suck dude
#like i've read the books before but GOD they hit so much harder than the movies#and i think the fact that they're written in first person makes it hard to translate to screen#but they did a real bad job of it#like i already kind of had something against the movies bc they basically went after the 'love triangle' the same way the capitol did#in the books which was...... capitalistic at best#but like watching the movies i'm like bro#where's the PASSION?#where's the FIRE?#where's the HEARTBREAK?#THE STARTING A FUCKING REVOLUTION?#good job hollywood you lameified one of the only genuinely good ya series#the hunger games

taking all my american followers by the shoulders. listen to me. just because you have a more promising candidate now doesn't mean you just assume it's going to be fine and don't bother voting. assuming trump wasn't going to win is how you got here in the first place so you go out and fucking vote for harris and give everyone a fighting chance.
also if you're still in the 'they're both as bad as eachother' delirium, please take your head out from between your cheeks and consider that your options are an imperfect president and the literal worst person alive who is going to get masses of people killed. i've said it like this before, but it's like deciding between maybe getting food poisoning or definitely having a brain aneurysm. take your pick i guess but don't be surprised when you drop dead.
#ramble#sorry to keep posting about this but i am so worried about this fucking election#which is crazy bc it's not even my country#idk there's just lots of people i don't want to be horribly killed or tortured#i was really afraid when it was biden but you have a BIT of hope now#the 'burn it down and start again' revolution isn't coming you have to use your brains please#not to be dramatic but if you think harris and trump are the same you might be the actual dumbest person walking on earth#when we look back on stuff in history and say 'i would've spoken up. how did nobody stop this?'#this is how you stop it.

I've never been truly able to get on board with "if you go far enough left, you get your guns back" because I genuinely just don't think we should be mass producing weapons that can facilitate mass murder at the scale we do. like, sure, I'm not against the principle of "marginalised people and activists should have the same access to weaponry that others do, especially for protection in a state of fascism" but I just. we only have these things as a result of the military industry, finding the most efficient ways to kill. these things should never have been made. we shouldn't be producing assault rifles for mass consumption, we shouldn't be producing them at all.
so like. sure. if you go far enough left you get your guns back, I guess. but I think that's a short-sighted and disingenuous way to phrase it, when I would assume that the more "radical" leftist stance is something more akin to global demilitarisation and the cessation of mass-production of weapons (alongside a lot of other garbage made for mass consumption under capitalism - we need to de-industrialise production on a major global scale).
(I don't necessarily mean getting rid of guns "completely" because people will always find ways to engineer them, but I think there is a massive difference between a gun designed for responsible hunting or sport vs a gun designed to kill people as fast as possible, or to be wielded as a threat the way cops do.)
idk. obviously this is a very future-focused perspective and I guess the "far enough left etc." crowd are usually talking more in the present. I just have concerns that this particular piece of rhetoric encourages some leftists to be less critical of the weaponry industry than perhaps we should be.
#i know this is out of left field for me i just saw a purported leftist telling someone to buy a gun instead of voting#if they really want to 'start the revolution'#and it was like. yeah voting won't fix everything but i don't think purchasing your own personal murder tool will either#like are you gonna pull a gun on a cop? i doubt it. however many guns leftists have the government has more#a gun is power. and power corrupts. i do not want to enter into a new world where every leftist has a gun lmao#we will have commies shooting anarchists and anarchists shooting socialists and then we'll all be fucked.#the system speaks#anti capitalism

what if Umbridge took over in CoS... Percy, leading a student revolution: Alright, get ready to launch Operation: Circle of Confusion. Ron: Uh, Percy, it kinda looks more like a triangle from down here. Percy: What? Ron: I'm just saying, it doesn't look much a like a circle, it looks more like we're forming a triangle. Just a side note. Percy: Okay, fine, Triangle of Confusion! Rhombus of Terror! Parabola of Mystery! WHO CARES!? Get the goddamn show on the road!
#incorrect hp quotes#source: red vs blue#percy weasley#ron weasley#harry and hermione is also there but has silent roles#if Umbridge was in CoS...#Percy would lose his shit faster and decide "fuck it#like starting a student revolution#and fight the power#also percy and ron would bitch at each other on regular basis#pooks rambles

i know Nahyuta's whole thing is he's extremely calm and well-put together but i want this dude to be constantly under the threat of disintegrating. he definitely is calm and put together SURE and that is a core element of him no matter what (and i like that about him!) but i also like the idea of, once he no longer has to be that perfect person to survive, that the reality of everything, all his anxieties n guilt n discomfort with himself comes crashing in when it's finally safe for him to feel this way. a miserable kind of catharsis, but a catharsis nonetheless. a necessary one for him to unravel the real version of himself he had to keep deep inside. do you understand my vision
#psy's no punctuation posts#aa tag#nahyuta sahdmadhi#which i know also that him being so reserved and chill about. Fucking Everything IS arguably a defense mechanism for him like#canonically#but idk they really don't let him have strong emotions Ever in the story. he never gets that catharsis and it kinda sucks#i wouldn't call him unstable in the slightest just. slowly unpacking the world's best hidden set of negative emotions RKFJ#and it's very hard but he'll get there eventually. the revolution was a good start for him to 'redeem' himself inside but that's not so eas#there's still a lot for him to unlearn from the previous regime n how Garan treated him and how he treated /himself/#idk man i just fucking love Nahyuta KRJF#let him GRIEVE let him be MESSY let himself be those things and not a perfect little pet for a despot#i just. waaaa. this dude

Okay finally got back to reading The Lost Hero and got to the part where Hera tells Jason in his dream that Zeus locked down Olympus because the gods got "too involved with mortals" which-
Honestly that's gotta be the FUNNIEST thing I ever heard because????
No the fuck you don't 😂
Like let's all be real here the only thing that changed in terms of "level of involvement" of the gods is that y'all have to claim your kids now. I mean I know I shouldn't be surprised that Zeus would consider claiming your kids before abandoning them "too much involvement" but it is still HILAROUS how the gods manage to break the bar despite it being as low as humanly possible
#if i weren't laughing about it I'd angry rant abt it ngl#holy fuck no WONDER did Luke start a revolution XD#pjo#luke castellan#luke castellan apologist#pro luke castellan#percy jackson and the olympians#luke castellan defense#pjo hoo#hoo#anti pjo zeus#anti pjo gods

oh my god, i am rereading cinder and i’m on chapter 38, and cinder is deciding if she wants to fight levana and this is cinder’s first thought, “if she didn’t stop levana, what would happen to kai? though she tried to stop the question it continued to plague her, echoing in her thoughts.” the fact that cinders first thought before she goes and breaks out of prison, starts a revolution and becomes queen, is to protect the only person who ever protected her. obviously, in the later books, this is not her only reasoning for claiming her throne, (except maybe when she kidnapped him) but the fact that this is her first thought when she thinking about fighting back is about protecting kai. kai, who defended her both verbally and physically from being abused by adri and pearl. who tried to save her life after he knew her identity, who tried to pull the gun away.
#imagine being kai and the girl you liked went and started a revolution to protect you and not to mention kidnap you#but they are the most healthy relationship in ya ever so fuck off#the fact that cinders first thoughts before going down this path that would lead her to becoming queen is to protect kai#as he protected her#the lunar chronicles#kai#emperor kai#kai tlc#linh cinder#marissa meyer#kaider#the rampion crew

like not to be a bitch about leftists but most of yall won’t even wear a mask in public so sorry but I don’t believe you’re actually capable of any major political action
#I’m also a leftist for the most part this is about the don’t vote crowd#the glorious revolution people#like you’re going to start a revolution? you? you won’t even protect disabled people in your communities shut the FUCK up#am I very upset bc we’re in the middle of YET ANOTHER Covid surge and I personally know nine people who have tested positive the past week?#maybe so#but I need yall to shut the fuck up about your performative activism and actually do something come#us politics#please vote#and if you don’t bc of your moral purity complex then keep that shit to yourself

It's ten at night and I can't stop thinking about Dragon, Kuma and Iva founding the revolutionary army together and how close they were and a lot of fandom only speculated they were close by inference but it's basically canon that they were CLOSE, like those three are FRIENDS and that is just... that makes me so happy. I love that Iva has Dragon and Kuma, I love that Kuma has Dragon and Iva, I love that Dragon has Iva and Kuma. And I love that they all had a hand in training Sabo. He is their legacy 🥺 he is the revolutions legacy. He carries pieces from all of them. I am so emotional over the revs. They mean everything to me.
#revolutionary army#one piece#found family#i cannot wait for oda to give us the full story#i cannot wait to see fandom finally giving the revs the love they deserve#i will never understand why theyre not more popular#'prodi they just dont show up a lot'#know who else doesnt show up a lot?#shanks#roger#and yet!#POPULAR AF#the fucking MARINES have more of a fan base#the fucking COPS yo!#the COPS!!!!!#irl people are excited about saying fuck cops and lets start a revolution#but in op the revolutionaries are side eyed and the marines get fangirls#I AM SO#LOOK AT DRAGON AND TELL ME HE ISNT A DILF#prodi he isnt#PEOPLE SIMP OVER FU KING BUGGY THE CLOWN AND THINK DRAGON IS UGLY?!?!?!#naturally people can like what they want of course#but theyre W R O N G

I also don't want to hear any bitching and moaning about how squidfans act when we can legit just be posting meta in our little corner with other squids and people will come out of the woodwork specifically to anon us to complain that they disapprove lmao
#everything people claim about squidfans is just them projecting their own toxicity#because in reality we spend 90% of our time in a squid huddle away from main fandom#and people still complain about us#as evidenced by the fact a lot of the bg3crit anons were like omg people defend the squid???#as if the squid fandom is new but it's not new at all we're just quiet because wider fandom is hostile as fuck#and when we make ourselves known we have to deal with an insane wave of uncharitable hostility lol#bro I was an Anders DA2 fan back in the day#yknow the man who blew up a church and started a bloody revolution without telling you his plan?#yeah people were SIGNIFICANTLY less hostile to Anders fans than Emp fans#like I actually had so many constructive conversations with people back in DA2 days about what all these characters represent#and why people feel different ways about them#impossible to have those conversations in BG3 fandom
