The dead internet theory is more believable each time

It just feels like a lonely void, there's nothing social about social media anymore and that's quite depressing

With Tumblr it's alright sometimes but in general it's just dead everywhere.

when people stop using the excuse of “olive [skin] is a spectrum!” when referring to any character that hails from the seam, i can die peacefully.

for reference: the seam — dark hair (straight, with the exception of haymitch and his curly hair,) olive skin, gray eyes. (e.g, katniss, gale and the hawthornes, haymitch.)

merchants — blonde hair (curly,) pale skin, blue eyes. (peeta, delly cartwright, mrs. everdeen and primrose.)

yes, in the case of the seamfolk, it is definitely possible that they are simply tan white people. however, in the racial context of appalachia, there is a population of native americans (who often have olive skin and straight dark hair,) along with the melungeon population (which includes people of color.)

suzanne collins would've made the distinction, as she did for the merchants if they were white. this theory is unlikely though, considering that systematic oppression plays a role within their race. (the seam are worse off; they're the poorest part of the district with people casually dying of starvation in the streets, they're also workers in the mines and more likely to have lung problems/die from mine collapses if not explosions. they also run a black market for sake of trades and food. the merchants run shops and are better off than the seam.)

i'm not saying at all that white people can't be olive skinned, i do very much agree with that and it's something i acknowledge. but again, appalachia, where twelve is located, has a population of people of color in which fit the description (which could likely be native americans.) there's a stark difference in both sides of twelve's population and their races, and if suzanne had made the seamers with the intention of them being white in mind, katniss simply could've said it was a white-predominant population with the notion of seamfolk being darker.

with all of this in mind, no matter how you flip it, the seam-originating characters in the movies are whitewashed. and that takes away from the history of these people and takes from their oppression and representation of history in a book that already deals with racial issues and such things.

It was crazy watching bkdk go from the most hated ship to the most popular ship in the fandom

this is random but can we be friends? ٩(^ᗜ^ )و ´-

I wanted to ask that for a while but I was shy xD

Oh, of course, new friendships are always welcome, I hope we get along and don't worry, you're not alone, I'm also quite shy and embarrassed.

How long will the survey be open for, and will you post about the results?

i'm not sure yet, probably about a week? i didn't know how many responses i would get, so wanted to wait to gague it. i will probably put out a 24hr (at least) warning on both twitter and tumblr before i do. it currently has 243 responses and it's been going up pretty fast, but will most likely slow down soon.

i'm very likely not going to post the raw spreadsheet data because there's a lot of it and it's messy and i haven't yet gone through to make sure there are no a) trolls or b) people who want to keep their responses private. however, i will likely process the data of the more straightforward questions (favourite character, favourite arc, the multi choice questions) (and potentially correlations between them depending how much of a headache that is) into some lists or charts or general observations and will share those eventually! basically i don't think i'll share Everything but i do fully intend to make some of the results public in some way, aye!

screw it, adding ratigan to my house of mouse AU

he's still a tiny rat obviously because everyone retains their canon forms (except the CG characters. i need an excuse to imagine hans as 2D). so it's especially Weird to everyone how we're besties. like he's an actual evil rat and i'm just a human doing too much for her pay grade, but we get along really well? at first ppl think i just want to get close to felicia (which i do. very much.), but the rat and i have a great time actually

Tumblr is such a whimsical place

moodmaker x leader for maffhewsasha just took me tf OUT!!! i’ve never thought of it like that and now i need to lay down for the next decade to recover like wtffffffff *head in hands* of course maffhew is the moodmaker oh god what didn’t i see it before

hes such the perfect archetype for moodmaker... little class clown, is the emotional heart of the group... when hes out theres a change in atmosphere and dynamics it becomes increasingly obvious thats something missing... vlives without him constantly go like "...ahhh we have nothing to talk about;;; wheres matthew..." (matthew proceeding to blow up the vlive chat making fun of the lack of energy)

quiet diligent tiger leader sasha... hardass during practise but turns 😄 during preformances, misunderstood by the media to be intimidating because of that but hes terribly sweet and it shows so much during concerts when hes all flushed and smiling after running about because matthew keeps egging him on shenanigans (i.e maffhew keeps running from security guards to interact with fans and somehow he dragged sasha into as well so its just two idiots evading the poor arena workers who are LIKE GET DOWN FROM THE BARRIER. STOP. DONT HOP DOWN FROM THE LIFT TO GO TO THE SECOND LEVEL PLEASE. DONT SNIPE THE FANS WITH THE PLASTIC FREEBIE BALLS.)
