lucy gray is peeta this, sejanus is katniss that, when are we going to talk about how peeta is who SNOW could've been

#manipulative silver-tongued snakes from rough but relatively privileged circumstances #who meet A Girl (from district 12)#but peeta has genuine love and compassion for not just katniss but also the people around him #so he uses his power for good #and katniss admires him a lot for this so i think it's easy to forget #that he's also mister “star-crossed lovers ploy”#mister “maybe we shouldn't quell the districts”#mister “haymitch i'm making you go cold turkey on alcohol”#and mister “if it weren't for the baby”#tho in all seriousness these thg/tbosas parallels posts are great keep 'em coming #the hunger games #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #peeta mellark #words

I think TIG's "Silver is trying to win Daniel over" will haunt me forever

#what. did he mean by that #is this how he's coping with the fact that the writers refused to redeem silver and make him friends (or like... someone else....who knows #at this point genuinely) with daniel #does win over now mean knowing that he won't ever agree to work with you so you kidnap him and put him in a cage until he agrees #does win over mean trying to bring out the worst in him to the point he loses his moral compass and joins silver #but at the same time. he literally said silver has moral line #like after Everything™ he did to Daniel. he's like “kreese bringing a knife to the kids' tournament is the point of no return for him”#his Brain tbh. Fascinates me

oh dear, i think i'm starting to have a crush on the moon

#melonposting #objectum folks... perhaps i am one of you... :)#the moon is just so beautiful... she's a perfect milk-white disc of light tonight... all aglow and serene as she gently gazes upon us...#i can feel the love shining within her... she is grace and hope and compassion embodied in an ivory sphere that attends our humble planet..#how lucky are we to have her... our tide-bearing maiden of seas and skies and stars! to be kissed goodnight by her silver lips!#how i love the moon <3

2 and 11 for the book asks!

2. did you reread anything? what?

i actually spent all of february rereading rick riordan's whole corpus because i want to write a piece on it. grueling. other than that there were a couple more children's series (his dark materials + pittacus lore) and also the zombies vs unicorns anthology

11. what was your favorite book that has been out for a while, but you just now read?

most of the books i read have been out for a while :) but the oldest one i read was strange case of dr jekyll and mr hyde by robert louis stevenson (mid). the second oldest was go tell it on the mountain by james baldwin (beautiful)

#ask #actually i read the golden compass + the silver knife this january but didnt manage to finish the amber spyglass #sighs....

“He was no longer trembling, but his head felt very fuzzy. Drinking didn’t help, but it at least gave him something to do with his hands.”

-from Babel by R.F. Kuang, ch. 5.

#vfd #lemony snicket #asoue #a series of unfortunate events #all the wrong questions #very fuzzy drinking #babel #ebook #r f kuang #this was an excellent book #reminiscent of The Golden Compass and Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell #in an 1820s oxford where magic is harnessed through the power of translation in silver bars #the protagonist #a chinese orphan #becomes radicalized against the british empire #big metaphor for technology and exploitative capitalism today #very #fuzzy #drinking

Some holiday advice you should probably take with a grain of (garlic) salt...(AKA sometimes you get a PSA that would exist in the world of your own novel stuck in your head and have to share)
