#courtney's ramblings

[bangthedoldrums]

I'm sure a million people have already written about this and better than I ever could, but there are so many hypocritical moments in the hunger games that stick with me. the way the capital citizens gasp and are furious at the flag being torn down, but not at the dead children directly under it. the way they riot after peeta says "if it weren't for the baby" as if they don't watch children slaughter each other every year. the list could go on.

those moments are something I think of daily, just given the current political climate in america. suzanne collins really took a mirror right to our society and nailed it. makes me insane to think about it too much

Me every time I see Jason Todd: Hell yeah girl (gender neutral) go bite the hand that feeds you!

Go burn the house that built you!

Bless the killer and fuck the man!

Bless the berries but fuck the far–

as much as i adored the beautiful moments in part two, i think i will forever be partial to part one. it had awkwardness, playfulness, the first kiss, the yearning, jealousy, joy, protectiveness, flirting, confessions of love, desire, intimacy, the proposal —

and that sweet, glorious moment when the friends actually did become lovers.......

it has a lot to do with my personal feelings of fluff over angst. i just love the way part one felt. it was so pure and innocent, and dramatic and tense. i just really loved watching these two fools dance around each other in the beginning <3

Let this sink in: this is how they look at each other. 🥺

[mirrorofliterature]

the core of Noah - or at least for me vis a vis writing him - is that he's the kind of guy who aces school without studying.

clashing with Alejandro and Courtney because they have to study so hard to get the same results

I mean, look at how Courtney and Noah's audition tapes are foils. it's so interesting!

the reason why I like Noah & Alejandro, romantically, is because they've got different attitudes to life. Alejandro needs someone who is like. A bit more chill. I like Alejandro and Heather's dynamic, but I think they are too similar - too competitive and acerbic - to have a functional romantic relationship.

anyway balance is cool. brought to you by @courtney-deserved-better unpopular opinion on Noah, which I don't think is that unpopular, or should be. Noah is a laid back loser. and that, for me, is what makes alenoah work romantically.

Alejandro and his boyfail partner who is casually competent at everything but has 0 social skills, could rule the world if he tried but meh. That's too much work

I see a pattern in my fav characters

Secondary character important but often overshadowed by their main cast friends, definitely not the writer’s favorite child with half a backstory flashed out enough to make them interesting but vague enough i can take my own spin on it without feeling out of place

Bonus point if they constantly switch between sweet and unhinged

[supercalime]

I hope the wedding is fake cause if it is the fans will be even more insufferable

After the world tour rewatch in Astros server I remember why I love slippery slopes so much 😭

Noel Gruber x Female Reader Headcanons!!!

He leaves you for a man

[couchsterfield]

AP headcanons!

thanks for the ask !! took a while to compile any headcanons since i usually just post them as they come, but here are some lmao:

• McDermott is the most ANNOYING person to have dinner with (basically canon), he would try to steal a sip from every single person's drink, and Patrick has to swat McDermott's hand away from his drink every three minutes

• Courtney is the one person Evelyn allows to smoke (She thinks courtney looks cool). even so, courtney usually tries not to smoke infront of her to avoid evelyn getting fussy

• Jean has to go out and buy a new 12 pack Crayola set every other week (Patrick keeps eating them)

• Patrick often locks Sean up in like their toolshed growing up (thats why sean is like. That)

• Van Patten whistles ALOT. Price HAAATES it!!

• Paul Owen chews on his montblanc ballpoint pens during meetings and it drives patrick insane ( <- guy who eats crayons biweekly)

• McDermott is the type of guy to fucking grunt everytime he stands up

• sometimes Patrick will shuffle very closely to someone and try to lean in and smell them (??!!$) just to figure out what cologne theyre wearing. (he thinks hes discreet but everyone is weirded tf by him )

this is what i mean when i say i want someone to match my energy

I don't (and never will) get why so many "fans" are saying smfs sounds like "old fall out boy". This is literally only an album that exists because they made the post hiatus albums.

This album doesn't exist without sr&r, ab/AP and mania. elements of all their past albums are infused into this album, and that's their growth as a band. This is something so many other bands just don't do, and they make a "throwback" record and it sucks and they become irrelevant and boring as hell.

Also, can you imagine showing an emo kid from 2006 a song like "Hold me like a grudge" or "What a Time to be Alive"? They'd hate them because it wasn't scene enough lol

All this to say, there's not old/new fall out boy. There's just Fall Out Boy.

Okay, hi. I'm only going to make one post like this because I feel like an asshole doing it in the first place, but desperate times....

I need help with my food shopping, bills, and rent through September! Of course, there is absolutely no pressure whatsoever to give anything, but here is my PayPal & there is an explanation under the cut (I tried to make it as clear as possible/to make sense) ❤️

-

I work in a school, for a cleaning company. On the 1st of August, the previous company broke their contract with the school, meaning all of us cleaners had to be transferred to the new company on the 19th.

Company A (I obvs can't name them) would pay us once a month without fail. They would add everything we earn through the year and then divide it into 12 months, so we always got paid, even in school, half terms. But company B - our new employers - have told us we'll be getting paid every 4 weeks.

So the pay period this month is from the 1st - 28th. Here's why I need help — currently, the school I work at is on the 6 week summer holiday/half-term/whatever you call it where you are from, which started on the 31st July and ends on the 3rd September. But we haven't been at work! This week (19th - 21st August), I have been allowed to do 15 hours of deep clean, but that is it!!

This all means that on the 28th of Sept, I'm only going to get paid, maybe a quarter of what I usually get. Which is maybe enough to pay my mum's rent and little else. So, from the 28th, until whenever I get paid in October, I'm going to have nothing.

And to add to this stress - very rarely when I'm in a pickle, I will ask my dad for a small loan, and then pay him back, but at the moment he can't work, and in fact, on the 19th he went into a facility that is going to try to help him with his f.nd. (functional neurological disorder). He's going to be there for 3 weeks! (update: my dad is staying there for another 2 weeks)

I really, really feel so gross asking for any help, but this time, it's serious. I will be eternally grateful if you can spare anything! And know that if you do, I am sending you the biggest, warmest hug on the planet (or a high five, if you prefer).

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, even if you read this far or signal boost this post. You are the kindest person ✨️

edit: thank you for your help so far. new goal is £200 to survive the rest of the month. i can't thank the people who've donated enough <3
