[ghstlymess]

I just wanted to disappear and recreate myself in a space made by me

strangely, I think I've done it, but existing by your own rules is so fcking hard

i feel like I'm not enough anyway

The ballad of songbirds and snakes- a tragedy

(I have only started to read the book and will not address it here. I will only be talking about the movie. I will not take Coriolanus‘s inner monologue into account here.)

The hunger games/The ballad of songbirds and snakes is almost the most tragic of the movies to me.

There is something so … heartbreaking and tragic about seeing little Coryo become the Snow we new from the other movies.

It‘s like we are in Tigris shoes.

We watch a little boy grow up. We watch a little boy who had to witness his neighbour eating his maid‘s leg during a war in order to not starve to death.

We see a little boy who is orphaned due to the war.

We watch a little boy grow up.

Grow up to be a monster.

Another thing that is so incredibly tragic is that you know the ending to his story.

You know what he will eventually become.

And still, i think, many of us viewers found ourselves rooting for him at some point.

I was rooting for him. For him and Lucy Gray.

Against all odds i wanted him to find his own happy ending.

The ending was inevitable.

And still i wanted him to choose a different path.

I still believed in his humanity. In his goodness.

As Lucy Grey says: „There is a natural goodness built into us all.“

Almost until the very end of the movie i thought he might be able to choose a different path.

When i watched this movie i saw something unbelievably tragic.

I witnessed how trauma and a destructive society can kill a soul.

I saw a soul decay before my eyes.

I witnessed the moral decay of a human being.

I saw how all the goodness and kindness that was still left in him was erased for good.

How a soul chose to erase itself.

We see a little boy who has to fight to survive.

We see a teenager who fights the evil inside him.

Who tries to not succumb to it.

We see a boy who loses the fight within himself.

And of course all of it is tragic. The games are tragic. Katnis story is tragic. All of it is.

But the most tragic thing for me to witness was to see the goodness and humanity that is built into us all be reduced to nothing but ash.

To witness the death of a soul.

„There is a natural goodness built into us all.

You can either cross that line into evil, or not.

It is our life‘s work to stay on the right side of that line.“ - Lucy Gray Baird

Counting Sheep

Alone in my bed searching for sleep,

maybe i should just start counting sheep,

will you ever join me under my cover,

will you ever be my wife and lover,

would life be easier if i allready knew,

faith is still living in me and you,

i don't feel lonely, i feel your heart,

beating with mine while we are apart,

your whispering thoughts saying my name,

thinking about me and hiding the flame,

we talk it out but both stay confused,

the soul and the mind still heavily bruised,

convincing ourselves that all is good,

holding ouselves back more than we should,

maybe this words will piss you right off,

read and say nothing just do little scoff,

thinking how stupid i am for this rhymes,

thinking how tiresome i am at times,

but i still think my instinct is right,

about our fated love and your inner fight.

Today, Mike had woken up on the wrong side of his bed so he was especially vicious as he ranted about anything he found irritating about Steve.

He hadn't even reached the midpoint when Dustin decided to rip him a new one. Which, yeah, was fair because he didn't usually do Steve that dirty. But his bad mood had taken over and he found himself arguing with Dustin.

"It's not like you don't gripe about him every day," Mike retorted heatedly. "In fact, you are the one making fun of him the most out of everybody here," he gestured widely at the others (Lucas cringed, Will looked guilty, Max and Erica high-fived each other, El nodded calmly, Eddie just gave him a little wave).

"That's because I'm his brother," Dustin said matter-of-factly while adopting Steve's signature mom pose. "But who are you? You're just his ex's brother. Without Nancy, you're just a random kid to him."

(Eddie, Max, and Erica looked at each other with the same smirk. "Oh, that burns."

Lucas just sighed helplessly as Will and El watched on in amusement.)

Mike's nostril flared indignantly. He would never ever admit this, but while he thought Steve was lame and an idiot sometimes, he respected Steve plenty. Not enough to admire, but enough to fight Dustin for him.

"So what? I know him longer than you," Mike fired back. "I have more M&M's and 3 Musketeers from him than you do, I played baseball with him every weekend, and I also watched Star Wars with him."

"You do understand what ex means, right?" Dustin narrowed his eyes at him. "Nancy's his ex-girlfriend, ergo you're his ex-something, ergo you need to stop living in the past. You know why? Because I," Dustin pointed at himself smugly, "am his favorite now. I'm the present and the future. His shotgun, his house, his pool, his snack cupboard will forever be mine, thank you very much."

And just like that, all hell broke loose.

Because not even Will was willing to accept that bullshit. Steve never had a favorite, okay? As their babysitter, he wasn't allowed to.

"What the fuck are you fighting for?" Mike glared at Erica who was (impressively) making Dustin wail like Mew on the floor.

"Steve still owes me a lifetime of free ice cream, duh," she looked at him like he was an idiot. "Stop talking shit and come help me."

A wise man once said: "Enemy's enemies are friends."

So it only took Mike a second to give her a hand.

———

"Why didn't you stop them?" Steve asked in exasperation, thinking about the fistfight that would've taken place in the Wheelers' basement had he not interfered on time.

"'Cause the more they eliminate among themselves," Eddie leaned in closer and whispered conspiratorially, "the less I gotta fight to keep you."

"But I'm their babysitter," Steve pushed him away with a finger on the forehead. "And you're supposed to make it easier for me, not harder."

"Sweetheart," Eddie grabbed his wrist and nuzzled his nose into it, "Just say the word and I'll make something harder for you right now."

"You're incorrigible," Steve rolled his eyes, but his pretty smile had betrayed his mood.

"Yeah, all because of you, baby," Eddie pressed his lips on the back of Steve's hand. "O prithee, my princess, give me the remedy."

"What if I don't have any?" Steve raised his brow.

"You do, darlin'," Eddie pulled him close and cradled his face. "My tonic is right here," a kiss on his forehead. "My joys," on his eyelids. "My happiness," on his his nose and then his mouth, "my love."

Later, when they cuddled in bed, sweet and tender after loving each other til midnight, he would tell Eddie there was no need to ask for him in the first place.

Because he had been Eddie's boy since the day the battle vest was draped on him.

It seemed Steve did have a favorite, after all.

Except, it was none of his kids.

Truly a tragedy.

Saw the comparison made on X and I had to contribute

[ganondoodle]

haha, oops

(uhm, ancient queen zelda and ganondorf backstory doodles- largely irrelevant to the totk rewrite since it would be purely implied in the environment and in a few lines of diary but it keeps spinning in my head so i had to make some doodles)

(want to make some doodles of it all falling apart too but i need to post these now- the summary is really just that the ancient queen and ganondorf were close friends (to lovers) in their youth until she has to marry a hyrulian knight, after which they barely see each other anymore and their relationship slowly turns sour as time passes (due to various reasons) and after her discovering the ruins the sonau protected speaking of an ancient evil she grows afraid of him and begins to enact a scheme to seal him away-)

(the doodle in the snow there is about the extra idea that ganondorfs first daughter is with her but since shes married to the knight at that point already it would be a scandal- so it is secretly brought to him to raise instead- its a .. kinda classical royal drama but i got attached to the idea bc it adds even more weight to their conflict and its escalation later... also a bit more .. human? like people and their relationships can be complicated and messy, it can make things more interesting .. but this is still all just a concept, havent decided to use it yet)

もう一回、もう一回

[sancastarcs]

the showrunners said that this season was mostly vi focused but we barely see scenes of her , her thoughts and feelings about anything and she is used mostly for either a) exposition or b) to develop other characters mainly jinx and caitlyn. i am confused

lucanis giving himself nosebleeds and struggling in pain from trying so hard not to let spite take over to talk to rook. lucanis "I don't need time - I need a target" dellamorte. spite with its absolute gremlin energies. spite with "[rook] doesn't want to hurt you. how rare. everyone else does." as it twists lucanis' inner-most feelings while no one else can see that inner fight he's dealing with. i am SO here for all of this, all of him, all of that angst.

[ndostairlyrium]
