2023 Highlight: All That Consumes Us
Tumblr media
Everyone knows the students in Corbin College’s elite academic society, Magni Viri, have it all—free tuition, inspirational professors, and dream jobs once they graduate. So when Tara is offered a chance to enroll, she takes it.
But once she’s settled into the gorgeous Victorian dormitory the academy calls home, something strange starts to happen. She finally has the chance to write, but her stories are dark and twisted. When she’s not sleepwalking, she’s dreaming about being trapped in a coffin, buried alive. And she’s starting to feel an unseen presence stalking her through the halls of her dorm.
As Tara slowly loses her grip on everything she’s ever known, she discovers a terrible secret at the heart of Magni Viri, one that just might turn her dreams into nightmares, one that might destroy her before she has a chance to escape.

the hunger games has been my roman empire since i read when it when i was 10 and here are all of my smaller empires bc this has always been my favourite series ever:
the tributes being treated to a life of luxury both as a “last meal” sort of thing and as a way to make them more vulnerable for the games. keeping them well fed before the games so the starvation hits harder
peeta repeatedly calling himself a mutt after katniss does :(
katniss’ ptsd
katniss being such an unreliable narrator
when cato realised he’s just as much of a toy as the rest of the kids
when gale says he should’ve volunteered in peeta’s place. NOT for peeta, not to save him the trauma, the injuries or his torture, and not to save katniss and to be there for her, PURELY bc he knew that getting hurt would get her attention.
GALE GETTING MAD AT KATNISS FOR KISSING SOMEONE TO STAY ALIVE. EVEN 10 YEAR OLD ME WAS LIKE ??
peeta’s “real or not real” and how easily katniss accepts it as his way of recovery
how perfect katniss’ character was. i was a little girl and i wanted to be exactly like her when i grew up. she wasn’t the cliche “doesn’t need anyone accepts this specific guy that will always save her” she saved peeta, and some times peeta saves her
probably the overdramatic english lit nerd in me but katniss’ hair going from intricate braids to messy ponytails
(tw sex assault) in the books katniss was terrified that peeta was going to be r&ped, for some reason that’s always stuck with me
what happened to finnick
how well written and realistic the books were. peeta loses his leg to the infection, katniss loses her hearing in one ear, finnick suffers from extreme ptsd and it shows in district 13, peeta not being an easy fix. he still suffers years later, but he slowly pieces himself back together. Johanna’s anger, people often don’t like the fact that ptsd DOES make you angry, haymitch’s backstory and effie’s growth.
the mutt’s have the dead kids eyes in the first games

so, i read 'the little book of otter philosophy' by Jennifer McCartney
Here are some highlighted bits from the book that made me think after reading it.
"A good way to practise is to be curious about small things on a day-to-day level and then look up the answer." -p.17
"...we get one shot at life." -p.17
"... successful communication is saying nice things to people you care about once in a while." -p.32
"Basically, this is a good reminder that sometimes the things we love can disappoint, surprise and even hurt us." -p.37
"It's about recognising opportunities for fun in our daily lives and embracing them - right then and there." -p.56
"We all need empty hours in our lives or we will have no time to create or dream." -p.60
"You don't need a lot of space to relax and be yourself, but you do need a space" -p.73
"The otter philosophy is about celebrating those differences, embracing, what you're good at and forgetting the res." -p.95
"A teeny, weeny bit of preparation can go a long way to making your day a bit easier." -p.99
"But remember that technology is a tool that serves us and not the other way around." -p.107
"Choose a good life. That's pretty much it. There's a reason YOLO is one of the key tenets of the otter philosophy. Live with joy and enthusiasm every day." -p.118

de devblog - kim's portrait
“There is an interesting detail we noticed in some of the art for Kim Kitsuragi. It appears that he has an abstract touch of blue on his forehead both in his in-game portrait and in the painting made for the game's cover art. This is not because Kim should have a blue forehead per se, or that he is somehow meant to be painted this way. It seems that the internal logic of how Rostov processes colors ends up needing to add that bit of something cold just about on the forehead area to freshen things up. Kim is all dressed in warm colors so it makes sense for you to need something cold for balance. This also results in a wonderful touch of characterization: Kim with the cold calculating mind. Kim, the cool and refreshing counterpoint to Harry's sweat and fever.” (x)

2023 Highlight: Monstrilio
Tumblr media
Grieving mother Magos cuts out a piece of her deceased eleven-year-old son Santiago’s lung. Acting on fierce maternal instinct and the dubious logic of an old folktale, she nurtures the lung until it gains sentience, growing into the carnivorous little Monstrilio she keeps hidden within the walls of her family’s decaying Mexico City estate. Eventually, Monstrilio begins to resemble the Santiago he once was, but his innate impulses—though curbed by his biological and chosen family’s communal care—threaten to destroy this fragile second chance at life.
