#but i was thinking about this

[the-sun-and-the-sea]

Just thinking about how weird it must have been for Finnick to win at 14 and how not only did he go through the arena but he also became a celebrity.

Most victors win a little older so the Capitol probably wasn’t used to having to wait for their victors to grow up. That must have felt really disorienting for like 18-20 year old Finnick because they wanted him to get older but they also didn’t want him to get old.

I have a headcanon that the victors sort of become their Games in the eyes of the Capitol, so even as they age they represent the kid who survived that arena. So for Finnick, he would’ve had to be the fourteen year old victor while also being old enough that the Capitol doesn’t feel bad about objectifying him, all while trying to protect his people at home.

The celebrity culture in Panem sounds really demanding, especially for the victors who are seen more as commodities. We don’t get as much insight into this in canon because Katniss isn’t a part of Capitol society for very long, but it’s a topic that I find really interesting.

(Also after the war Finnick embraces things like gray hair and other signs of aging because he’s finally allowed to age naturally and not exist for the pleasure of others)

The thing with men like Alexander Pierce is that being ‘treasured’ by them is also a prison actually. Because they will break anything to keep you there, even if it’s the last thing you would ever want. Because they don’t know you, don’t see you.

(I was thinking about the very specific flip experience of being ‘only person villain loves/cares about/would burn the world for’ because like, maybe you don’t want them to burn the world. Maybe actually, the silk they drape you in feels heavy as chains)

I think I'm going to start doing the same thing here that I'm doing on my other blog, and start focusing more on being more comic book-inclined or at least a lot more mixed rather than focusing on the mcu.

It's not that I like the mcu, but I feel like it limits me and Logan a lot, and forces me to be stuck with some stuff that I don't really like. There are a lot more things to explore using the comic book world, a lot more characters to use and things like that so… yeah. It’s a change I’d like to make. Some differences I’d be implementing in my replies/threads right away would be:

Tony's alive.

The avengers are still a thing ( it could be the mcu team with the original six and some others or the current one from the comics that i really like )

The x-men/fantastic four/all the other heroes exist, and Logan knows ( at least by reputation ) all of them.

Logan grew up alongside the Avengers and is friends with other young heroes/other children of the Avengers ( say Frank & Valeria Richards, Katie Barton, Gerry Drew, Mayday Parker & some ocs too bc why not. Also Riri, Harley, Kate, Cassie, Billy & Tommy & more ! )

SHIELD still exists too

And some other things that i’ll be implementing with time ( bc I can't remember everything right now ).

I’ll still be exploring the mcu timeline and some points that i find interesting too but it’s just not gonna be set in stone you know ? If we write together and you prefer to strictly follow the mcu timeline that's okay, you can let me know and we're doing this. But if not, you'll notice that i'll leave things a bit more open to new possibilities

i don’t know about you guys but the main reason i am still on tumblr in 2024 is BECAUSE it is the most cloutless least influential social media app out there and that is the experience i am after. absolutely none of this will ever translate into significant attention or real success in my life and that is so beautiful.

this happened months ago. i cannot keep it in any longer. a while ago i went on a porn site ive never been to and it asked if i was over 18 and i misclicked and said no and it automatically sent me to google images of puppies and kittens. i still cannot get over how funny this is.

liking someone platonically is so embarrassing like. yeah i admire you. yeah i think about you all the time. yeah i look forward to every time i see you even if it's only for a minute. yeah it's all platonic and yeah i couldn't explain this because it'd sound romantic. fucking hell

I understand that tall men are our POV characters, but surely being like a foot taller than everyone around them would have some occasional consequences

shoutout to everyone who wants to infodump but cant string together coherent thoughts to form sentences and instead just look at you like this

[muttmoxley]

It's gonna be such a funny mess when Donald Trump dies of a stroke on April 1st, 2024.

Naturally everybody will think it's fake because of the date only to lose their minds (both positively and negatively based on their opinion of trump) when realizing it's real

There will be massive celebrations in the streets and on social media and lots of predictable "don't speak ill of the dead" discourse about those celebrations

Weird evangelicals will pull some weird number trick talking about how Jesus was conceived on April 1st and that makes Trump a sort of messiah and people will make fun of that

The Republicans (after they're done with the faux-sadness and faux-outrage) will stomp over each other to be his successor but none of them will succeed. They'll tear each other apart and have no single nominee for the November elections.

There will be discourse about if Biden and the living former presidents should go to his funeral (they won't, he was a traitor insurrectionist)

The Ukraine-Russia War immediately goes in favor of Ukraine as morale in the Kremlin is reduced. China similarly backs off from its threats on Taiwan.

Ten thousand new memes are made, some sticking around for years to come.

Not a month later a bunch of unofficial biographies of Trump hit the bookshelves, many with new details about just how awful he was.

Vulcan teen on Vulcan [tiktok] saying "I have just lost track of my father in the grocery store." The camera turns to show the viewers the grocery store in which almost every single older middle-aged man has a bowlcut and long robes. Camera turns back to show the teen's face which is expressionless and yet communicates all it needs to.

let's get ✨vulnerable✨

[inkskinned]

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!

do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!
