Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.
#katniss everdeen#the hunger games trilogy#the hunger games#primrose everdeen#hunger games#batcavescolony reads the hunger games#suzanne collins#'now it seems i have become someone precious' NOW? GIRL BFFR you're their hunter girl#and this isn't negative just bffr girl#your WHOLE DISTRICT did the three finger salute that you yourself says means admiration thanks and goodbye to someone you love and on top is#old a rarely used. your WHOLE DISTRICT decided in that moment that they needed to bring back this sign of respect for YOU#...................................................................#idk why some people are thinking i mean this as negative i don't she is unreliable but its not intentional. like when Peeta heart stoped in#CF she doesn't know what Finnick is doing at first cus she doesn't know off the top of her head what cpr is. she also thinks Peeta after the#reaping is acting for the cameras. he isnt we dind out later his mom basically told him Katniss was gonna win and he would die. obviously#shes not doing it on purpose shes just for lack of better words uneducated? as in she doesn't know everything shes not omnipotent#so when Plutarch (? second games guy) shows her his mokingjay hiden watch shes like *wtf that's weird?* then the people traveling to#district 13 show her the mockingjay cookie and explains it and she then goes on the difference between his watch and their cookie#and why does eveyone act as if district 12 is as bad as the capital? they CANT help Katniss and Prim in the way you want. they cant give#them food. none of them have any! and im not putting iton Katniss but they hid they needed food so they could stay together. it sounds like#some of you are in this our world mentally of what people do after a loved one dies (brings food constantly checks on them etc) district 12#cant do that. they dont have food and they're all suffering. you cant give someone food when you have none to give. then theirs the fact#that peeta DID help. Peeta buring the bread and tossing some to her then taking a beating from his mom is a HUGE thing in the books.#he used his resources to help her like you all said someone should.#district 12 DID (rip) care about Katniss before the hunger games. why do you think she was allowed to hunt? or how her trades were good#these are the little ways 12 can shows Katniss they love her. but again Katniss doesn't see this and YES its because she had ptsd before the#hunger games as well. i swear some of you make it seem like d12 was all living a life of luxury and glaring down at Katniss.#other things that show Katniss is in hight standing with at least her people of d12 is her dad was known enough through d12 for peeta dad to#comment on his singing along with his commenting on her mom. also her mom is a healer in the community. yeah her parents arnt the top but#of d12 but they are/were definitely high staning in the Seam.

Summary of the Book of Job
The Book of Job is one of the most profound and challenging books in the Bible. It explores the mystery of suffering, God’s sovereignty, and human faith. Unlike other books that provide simple cause-and-effect explanations for suffering, Job wrestles with deeper questions about God’s justice and wisdom. Structure of the Book of Job 1. Prologue: Job’s Righteousness & Satan’s Challenge (Ch.…

ANNIVERSARY GROOVY BOYBAND! THEY ALL LOOK SO GOOD, I also love the hades reference with idia! Ik ur probably really swamped with the book 7 brain rot but I wanted to know ur thoughts. I also wanted to mention that I am so card deprived I feel like I need a replacement event to take tsumderlands place
AUGH NO I LOVE THEM. 😭 UGH now I really have to think about if I want to try pulling for Grim again. dangit. heck. I already got his little pedestal to add my guest room shrine, but...now I kinda need the boss himself...
also, the implications of it not being an OB thing, Idia can just. Do That? apparently? do you think he ever just sometimes does it by accident? what am I saying, he absolutely sometimes does it by accident.
gosh though. this event has been SO cute in general! I was wondering who'd get the focus for year 5; I could not be happier that the answer is apparently EVERYBODY. :D all the dorms get their own special songs! so many cute little scenes!!! the lowest of stakes bringing out the highest of pettiness in everyone!!!!!! it's excellent.
(also, because I will make literally anything about my diaboys...I know these events are typically sorta, let's say chronologically unmoored with regards to story. but the further implications that this takes place pre-episode 7/Malleus' Big Existential Crisis, and yet...some of these lines?)
#art#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#twst 5th anniversary#i hope that's the correct tag for filtering purposes#anyway gacha continues to have me in a bind#i have scrambled up enough keys/gems that i could hit the 100 pity mark on ONE pickup#so now i have to choose between grim or silver#with the caveat of course that i might end up not getting either#(or hoping i might magically somehow get another 31 keys to hit 150 on the anniversary medal pickup to trade for masqueralleus)#(this is extremely unlikely but if we don't have hope we have nothing)#uggggh i hate decisions#on the one hand. look at silver's card. just LOOK at it.#and i could absolutely use a void-typed attack card! especially with that duo!#but also my sweet grimbleshanks in his little sparkly blazer...#how can i possibly say no to the boss#i feel like if i had managed either platinum grim or armor sebek that would've decided it for me for collection reasons but NO#the pulls have just been an unmitigated disaster all around#the way this has been going i'm going to go all in on one of them and come out with yet another dorm trey#and then five minutes later they'll announce white rabbit rerun with froufrou fluffy bunnies leona and malleus#truly...f2p mobage is suffering#i had also kinda been thinking if i didn't get anything i might buy that malleus figure once it went up for preorder...#(i do not allow myself to spend money on gacha because. i know myself. but i will buy ALL the overpriced merch)#i forgot just how STUPID overpriced those figures are though#it is a really nice figure though...and it'll only be worse on the secondhand market...#i mustn't. i won't. but also.#hey twst feel free to make this up to me by giving me that fluffy bunny malleus after all okay

On autonomy, and what it means to be Obliged to Help.
Bonus:
#a homestuck walks into an antechamber and asks#hey is anybody going to make this dynamic wholly deterministic and thus dubiously consensual by its very nature#ANYWAY bigger ramble below. scroll down like usual#isat spoilers#isat#isat fanart#isat siffrin#isat loop#sifloop#THATS RIGHT WE'RE STILL SHIP TAGGING IT BABYYYY#in stars and time#in stars and time fanart#lucabyteart#RAMBLE START: anyway i think loop is wrong here. they have it backwards. as-- in my opinion--#the main reason they could be called back into existence postcanon is because *their* wish for help is still not complete#they still need help. siffrin still needs help. neither of them will ever stop needing help.#they will thus uphold the wish until the end of siffrin's natural lifespan.#that said. what does it mean that loop can be so wholly forced to abide by siffrin's wants?#(assuming the dagger cutscene posession is them being forced to uphold the 'help siffrin' wish via harsh universe logic)#[as opposed to something capricious and cruel the change god did. which feels out of character for the change god to me?]#much like how the island wish and duplicate objects are neutered by simply sliding off people's brains...#is loop subtly ushered toward their wish? obviously it's not a full override (see: the bossfight). but is there any interference?#and if so. so what? does it matter? if they don't notice? is it even real if they don't notice?#and even if they do notice. the universe leads we follow. how much do either of them value their free will in a belief system like that?#the whole game is dedicated to siffrin habitually NOT excersizing his free will. doing things the same Every Time.#Loop ESPECIALLY does this. predetermined predetermined predetermined even in the FACE OF CHANGE. REFUSING. ANY CHOICE.#Maybe they'd even be comforted by having a universe-ordained purpose even if it is subservient. even if its to Him.#(though. i can't see siffrin enjoying the idea that someone is subservient TO them... then all their suffering is his fault...)#loop got into this mess via WANTING too much. no more free will. can't be trusted with it. take it away from them.#but yeah. gets my greasy detective pony hands all over this. and everyone please do remember i like to make characters Outright Wrong A Lot

You should care about things in a way that makes it a possibility that tragedy will happen to you. If you hold your commitments lightly, in such a way that you can always divest yourself from one or the other of them if they conflict, then it doesn’t hurt you when things go badly. But you want people to live their lives with a deep seriousness of commitment: not to adjust their desires to the way the world actually goes, but rather to try to wrest from the world the good life that they desire. And sometimes that does lead them into tragedy.
Martha Nussbaum, in A World of Ideas, by Bill Moyers

@ninadove YOU.
Thank you for making me appreciate the tragic nature of slithering-out-of-grasp design of Aspik. I could not resist :(( I BLAME YOU FOR EVERYTHING <3
rest of you read It brings the world back into tune
Bonus: A familiar voice
#my art#my post#lukadrien#aspik#cat!luka#berlioz#adrien agreste#luka couffaine#it brings the world back into tune#snake!felix#ladybug#felix graham de vanily#okay I had to draw two new costumes for this and Berlioz's is kinda almost too casual but I feel like it fits??? well i like it#however with Felix I knew I could go silly and extra :D#if I may put my own headcanons here. I've had thoughts about snake Felix while drawing#You know how Aspik's problem was caring too much and trying to rescue people every time and suffering when he couldn't#how Viperion is attentive and patient and knows when to step aside to watch and make conclusions and then guide his teammates#patience and analysis applies to Felix too#but. I thought about taking risksssss during loops#I thought about fights where Felix pushes his teammates under fire on purpose to see what happens#loops when everyone in team is convinced he betrayed them#loops when he isn't bothered too much about harming people#(after all do people really care about harming those like him?)#but all that allows him to quickly find a solution#I feel like Ladybug would surely dislike him. this is certainly pre-s5 Felix to me. spitting poison#but he does his job perfectly and Ladybug doesn't want to admit that he's... probably a better fit than Aspik#while Luka tries to deal with the dissonance#It's Aspik's voice but different song. it's Aspik's eyes but different color. It's Aspik's lips but different smile#this is still about lukadrien angst. but i got very distracted with the cobra boy#what if he took this opportunity to learn everyone's identities on purpose

Forwards, Beckon, Rebound
Based on chapter 9 of @aroace-get-out-of-my-face’s fic! I read the chapter and was humming this song to myself later that very day, and it was like two neurons connected in my brain to form a single coherent thought. I simply had to make this.
E. Have fun man.
#This was incredibly fun to make#Never drawing a running sequence again though you cannot make me#How legs. How. How anything man#This song fits them to a T#The rollercoaster the chapter took me on and the steady back and forth of this song is literally one in the same do you see my vision#gravity falls#stanford pines#stanley pines#My art#I’ll be honest any time I make art for this fic i make it with the sole purpose of inflicting psychic damage on you E I’m sorry#It’s jsut so GOOD. We all must suffer TOGETHER. And I’m simply making sure you are included E#<3#So many callbacks to other art! Including mine!! There’s one nobody will catch bc it’s related to an animation I haven’t finished yet#Regardless#i know it’s there and that’s enough to make me happy#If you ignore the changing brushes and changing art style it’s almost coherent! Fun fact! /j

36:1-33 | Elihu Exalts God’s Justice and Power
The Verses “Then Elihu continued and said,‘Wait for me a little, and I will show youThat there is still more to be said on God’s behalf.I will bring my knowledge from afar,And ascribe righteousness to my Maker.For truly my words are not false;One who is perfect in knowledge is with you. Behold, God is mighty but does not reject anyone;He is mighty in strength of understanding.He does not keep…

i just know geto is out here coming up with the most elaborate, thoroughly scripted, multi-hour long roleplay scenarios for you and him and gojo and gojo is continuingly fucking it up by just being. a legitimately terrible actor. cannot remember his line cannot put on his costume by himself cannot keep his dick in his pants for longer than thirty minutes even after geto explains why each and every second of his five hour foreplay plan is absolutely essential. their polycule is crumbling at their feet bc gojo doesn't understand why he has to pretend to be a chair instead of just. y'know. having sex or something and geto is sick of him.
#reader is also there but they're just vibing#for inclusivity purposes whether or not they've been kidnapped is unimportant#geto is ready to take the kids (you) and leave and gojo is just. suffering.#personal

* how would the others react if dev got to chance to become a pixie? (If that makes any sense, very sorry if it doesn’t)
They'd be horrified and won't know how to process the information.
In this grim timeline, CosWan would have to come to terms that their youngest son is a walking death flag, while also embracing their new grandchild as much as they had embraced Timmy. It's a whole new terrifying life to navigate, but they'll do their best to navigate it together as family.
Bitties Series: [Start] > [Previous] > [Next]
#fairly oddparents#fop#fop a new wish#fop cosmo#fop wanda#cosmo#wanda#asks#itty bitties fop au#tw implied death#dev becoming a fairy would create a shrodinger's situation#as long as dev's in fairyworld peri is both alive and dead and neither and both!! just like Cosmo and Wanda!!!#theres all sorts of emotions going on and all sorts of things could happen#but most importantly. coswan will REFUSE to break the family apart because of it#this would be a very grim but also hopeful and optimistic story#theyll never let Dev know how much pain his arrival would bring#they'd rather smother him with love and dedication to ensure that the worst case scenario never ever happens#but peri would know that his parents are agonizing and are suffering heartbreak over what he's done#purposely omitting timmy from this bcs in all honestly he might just kill a guy#haha

im trying to read post canon yoohankim fics and i can't be bothered to look for them on ao3 like...... im not going to lie a lot of it is really boring.... its fluff in a way that really doesnt appeal to my taste. uh oops I just wrote a bunch of shit in the tags
#i need them to stay codependent and silly and funny. i need kim dokja to try to break up with them. i need him to be scared of#his own sexuality and think that he's not a good romantic partner due to his problems#i need yoo joonghyuk to be afraid for kim dokjas wellbeing. as soft as they may have come to be after the scenarios#i think they get to have a few mental breakdowns#i need to see han sooyoung get angry and cry and have her fingernails dig inside the palm of her hands#i need them to kiss and be desperate. even in a peaceful world they still have their own issues that can just go away#kim dokja understands that he is loved by others but can he TRULY get rid of his fear of being loved?#yoo joonghyuk has found some meaning and purpose to their life of suffering but is that easy to live after only surviving?#han sooyoung has surrounded herself with a family but can she truly sleep at night with the selfish choices she made to save them?#like PLEASE.. i want more than just kim dokja learning how to be loved. it is fun but i want MORE. yhk is about deeply angsty characters#can we treat them as such#they're so traumatized and selfish. they broke the space time continuum for each other. several times#they broke the fourth wall together and youre only gonna make them CUDDLE? i want to see BLOOD EVERYWHERE#orv#orv spoilers#omniscient reader's viewpoint#yoohankim

Disney, releasing Wish: "so it's all about legacy--the new generation surpassing the old, overcoming the evils perpetuated by them, relinquishing singular power... and there's an old man in a tower, uh... animal sidekick, i guess..., ah... magic...?
Miyazaki, just out of frame, sledgehammer raised:
#the boy and the heron#not tagging wish 'cause i'm being a little acidic#this isn't to be negative in the slightest--I really respect both films--but it's interesting to see how visceral boy+H gets with its story#what evils have to be rejected and what they represent--and how characters and the world suffer from those evils--as well as how the whole#'rejecting' part goes. in terms of animation powerhouses discussing their legacies - disney and miyazaki both - I find it interesting that#one makes a pretty safe and nostalgic movie about imagination and dreams; the other is a long trudge through the land of the dead.#b+h is a hard watch - and a look at the legacy of a man questioning his whole purpose in the world - after his cultural touchstones#have long passed by. Mahito needs to understand his grief to keep living--but if he drowns in it he'll just continue the cannibalistic and#violent world of his granduncle. how the hell do you make art when the trauma of your entire life has colored it forever? How can anyone?#maybe after a while... it's time to detonate that damn tower and keep living.#this is to say#if you have enough money to make whatever you want#Make It Fucking Count
