#we all love a bad boy don’t we

So we all know how Suzanne Collins plays with YA romance tropes with the ‘love triangle’ in the original series but can we talk about how she does the same thing with TBOSAS!!!
The ‘dark romance’ is a big thing in YA. The brooding, charismatic villain redeemed by his love for a quirky, clever heroine. Except Snow is never redeemed, he’s an awful person who’s obsessive and controlling and doesn’t really see Lucy Gray as an actual person. He’s paranoid and mean and chooses power over her. He’s what these awful villain men would actually be like in a relationship.
IDK but I think Collins is intentionally playing with tropes again. Even the title sounds like a YA dark romance.
#tbosas#the hunger games#thg series#the ballad of songbirds and snakes#coriolanus snow#lucy gray baird#suzanne collins#hunger games#we all love a bad boy don’t we#yeah not a terrorist though Chris

demiromantic asexual riz gukgak save me… save me demi/ace riz who can’t distinguish his romantic feelings for fabian from his platonic ones
#the demi experience of ‘is this a crush or are we just really good friends’#yes im projecting shut up#not to mention fabian whose comphet goes so hard he can’t even consider the reason he’s constantly bringing up riz around girls#mazey ily but baby do not date that boy#this has me thinking about that sophmore year moment where murph implies riz stayed up all night to watch fabian dance in fallinel#like I’ll throw up wdym he didn’t want to dance but still stayed to be with fabian#maybe this is the day I finally open a document and write a little scene about that#because murph simply cannot insinuate that and just expect me to move on#like. sorry ? he was there all night just watching him ? no way that wasn’t a night of an intense examination of his life and feelings#not that I don’t love the idea of aroace riz#it just fucks me up so bad when I read into all the accidental subtext murph and lou add so casually#dimension 20#fantasy high#fhjy spoilers#fabriz

so many people can’t conceptualise emotional neglect as anything other than ‘my parents were cold and distant and never talked about feelings with me’, and this, while being just a general awful problem of course, is also what leads to so much john winchester mischaracterisation. in this essay i will
#like. it can also be#a parent who you’re close to who is actually extremely emotional and explosive and reactive#and via forcing you to look after their emotional needs and spilling their problems all over you also teaches you that your feelings qrs re#unimportant and that you’re unimportant. even if they dont necessarily mean to or they dont with their words!#anyway i’m sure john winchester was a mix of the two#but my point is like. God this applies to so much actually#there’s this incredibly pervasive idea that damaging parenting has to be like. i dunno. distant somehow#your parents don’t love you. you’re not close to your parents#and obviously that IS damaging but it’s not the only way a parental relationship can be damaging… far from it#and a lot of what makes john so interesting to me is he DOES love the boys. of course he does#and he isn’t some hyper repressed incredibly macho figure either like some people characterise him#he’s warm with the boys when we see him in s1. sure he turns all his emotions into anger but it’s always very clear he Has deep emotions.#everything he does is powered by ‘love’#(theoretically).#like. hes obviously close with dean. he even has strong ideals about parenting when he starts off (see 70s era john disgusted at how future#john actually raised them lol).#and he’s still extremely abusive and neglectful and damages sam and dean soooo much. like. all that can coexist#and it’s such a disservice to flatten his character and pretend it doesn’t#plus it just offends me. like come on.#idk i guess a lot of people like to project their own bad experiences onto john and it’s not like i’m saying they shouldn’t do that#but. characterisation wise#he’s awful in a very specific way#spn#john winchester#oliver talks

I’ve just hc Tech as an absolute menace at this rate
My boy is disrespectful and steals from any and everyone (not kidding either. Bro has stolen a lightsaber before, I’m not hearing otherwise.)
TBF though- Chaos Tech is an absolute delight
Also gotta get this out there- I simply adore the idea that the batch are actually still kiddos. The amount of AUs I have where they’re just traumatised little gremlins trying to live.
Only time they aren’t children is when Tech has a relationship with Phee
But every other time?
Kiddos. 100%.
Works hand in hand with my Chaos Tech
He’s tiny, he’s Chaos, and if he gets caught, he’s the precious darling in tears.
#tbb#the bad batch#the bad batch tech#tech tbb#tech the bad batch#sw tbb#sw the bad batch#I love my autism boy#I also think that we don’t give him enough credit#like bro is strong as hell#in that same idea#Overworked Tech is an under utalised concept#he’s AuDHD your honour#it’s all or nothing

Dysprosium, Mary Soon Lee
dysprosium, AN 66, is a silvery-white rare earth metal. its name is derived from the greek dysprositos, meaning “hard to get at”, owing to the difficulty in separating and isolating this rare earth element. dysprosium is used to measure neutron flux, to fuel reactors, and to activate phosphors. terfenol-d is a magnetorestrictive alloy, meaning that it changes shape when a magnetic field is applied, and is used to manufacture underwater acoustic systems.
jason “robo” robertson, dallas stars #21 for @simmyfrobby’s nhl periodic table poems <3
#i had a couple different ideas for poems that were taken by the time i could go deranged for a couple hours to make this but as I looked#i was like WAIT NONE OF YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE JASON ROBERTSON YOU HAVEN’T SEEN MY TEXAS CAM and had to do it. also was STRUCK with the#sudden immaculate vision of the Dallas D as part of terfenol-D and could not get it out & robo is the most dance! person i know on the team#liv in the replies#dallas stars#jason robertson#nhl periodic table poems#guys i am plagued with visions and no execution skills!! every day i come here and learn one new skill on GIMP the way god intended!!!#today it was emboss. also cannot claim any credit for the pulse to the magnetic beat photo which is so cool that was one where i had a#couple and was like maybe i can do like crayon shockwaves like the art process video kasper showed? and then found that picture and was#like thank you lord stanley for knowing my limitations. thank you for your understanding in this moment it was a trial enough to make#expand contract dance and one would THINK i would have fucking learned from the claude animorphs tragedy!! i did not. but i did use the#shear tool and 3D rotate so at least if we’re animorphing it’s SLIGHTLY better. anyway me frantically doing this like WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT#WAIT FOR ME YOU GUYS ARE SO FAST i keep seeing all of these and just spinning around in circles until i get dizzy & fall down I’m so happy#the drive folder for this is just called joy!!!!! because joy this is such a cool idea but now because it brings me so much joy#i just saw the Travis dermott one and burst into tears super normal AND someone did exactly what i wanted with hydrogen which was the water#the ice!!!!! it’s so perfect!!! and cody ofc did silver lord stanley. like does it ever make you cry how beautiful & creative everyone is?#anyway if you see me post and delete this and then update it or change it no you didn’t it’s fine. but i wanted to be included#if i could make the dysprosium letters not have a white background i would I simply could not fuck with it at 1AM. we are hitting send#it may not look like it but i queue#pretend i spoke at length about the reasons why i picked all the pictures & the element just know that it’s there inside my brain u can ask#GUYS I TAKE IT ALL BACK I SAW NEONFRETRA’S ISOTOPES AND I COULD MAKE THE EDITS EVEN THOUGH THEY’RE THERE!!

I keep joking that this show is gay, and it keeps proving me not wrong
#IM JOKING SHOW WHY DO YIU KEEP INCREASING THE GAY#I love it#dead boy detectives#don’t ruin this for me#Edit: I finished the show#this is like the first time I called the gay out and I was actually right#i don't know what to do now I didn't think I'd get this far#SO misc thoughts!#I love crystal so much#her design is gorgeous and she gets to be so complex and interesting (esp when we don't get that very often for Black characters)#and i love the reveal that she used to be a bad person bc then it gives her such an interesting arc next season I NEED IT NOW!!!!#also I know edwin is like 'i love all dbd agency employees equally. Charles Niko and *looks at smudged writing on hand* Crew Stale'#(affectionate)#but do not worry i love her enough for all of us

miIevens calling mike (in the context of byler) el’s “leftovers” and “sloppy seconds” is reason enough for me to pray for their downfall in s5. don’t say shit like that and then turn around and say you love mike because you’re literally dehumanising him by saying that.
#they really do treat mike like an object sometimes#he says he feels unwanted and unloved and all they expect is for him to say he loves el#they don’t care that he doesn’t feel validated.#if someone brings up byler they call him el’s sloppy seconds#and then they have the audacity to turn around and tell bylers that WE hate mike#fuck off#stay away from my child#stranger things#it’s one thing to say mike would be a bad friend if he was straight and all this tension with will was unnecessary#but it’s a completely different thing to say weird things like this about a fifteen year old boy#wtf is wrong with people sometimes#mike wheeler

am i hoping for bad things to happen to watcher? no!!! absolutely not!!! i really hope they continue to do great and pull in more people HOWEVER do i foresee bad things happening? yeah for sure…like just on a business level this was a horrible move and i have such mixed emotions because i WANT good things for them but that just…won’t happen
#watcher i still love you and i still want you to be so successful#but on a PURELY BUSINESS LEVEL this is so dumb#like just a bad idea#like they deserve to get good money for all that they do because they make GREAT content for us#and their employees deserve good wages because again…they do a lot to make such good quality stuff#but again….this isn’t going to work out#like im in college i don’t have enough money to pay for this :(#i still use my moms netflix :(#anyway#watcher#ghoul boys#we are watcher

#the artful dodger#either a Jack fic#or a very angst rainsford one because I don’t think he’s as popular but I could do so much with his character#realistically though we all adore Jack#we all love a bad boy

hello good morning let’s all give him the forehead kisses he deserves ♡(˃͈ દ ˂͈ ༶ )
#we can line up n take turns#just kissing his pretty lil forehead#i love him#he is so insanely beautiful it’s actually sickening#and there’s no way he doesn’t know this#and there’s no no NO way he wouldn’t shove it in all of his siblings faces#‘i’m covered in burn scars and i’m STILL the prettiest todoroki’#i personally don’t think touya was popular at school as a kid#because he was so callous and like ??? snappy towards everyone because no one could understand what he was going through#i feel like he was probably ‘that weird kid’ who was always off on his own practicing his moves or whatever#and eventually kids just stopped trying to be friends with him because he was so snappy and like borderline rude#without realizing how he was coming off#100% a defense mechanism but anyway#the point i’m trying to get at is if touya had made it to high school he would’ve been that super popular bad boy#that everyone was in love with and terrified of all at the same time#so pretty it’s intimidating#so intelligent it’s intimidating#so blasé it’s intimidating#mysterious and cool and elusive#he barely comes to class and he’s on no sports teams or extra curriculars but he’s at the top of his classes and everyone know him#he’s at all the parties#he might be high but you can never truly tell#you know next to nothing about him and he will not given you even the tiniest shred of information about himself#everyone only knows his name his siblings and his daddy#rumour has it he fucks like he’s a sex god but no one can truly verify it#etc etc etc u know the type#anyway <3 have a good friday everyone!!! i’m still in a sushi coma from yesterday waaaaaah#clari chatters

#this thought just hit me and it’s not shade just a fact lol#but i see all these people on ig talking about decorating/designing their kid’s rooms#and i just. the IDEA that my parents would’ve put that much thought into our room when we were kids is…. absurd???#i was a menace#i drew on walls#i chewed up toys#i carved into the bed frame#we had a bunk bed a second hand desk a chest of drawers each and plastic boxes for toys etc#everything was mismatched and very erhm lived in#it gives me so much anxiety i physically cringe to think abt what it would’ve been like had my room been decorated and had fancy wall papers#and expensive matching furniture and godddd#i would’ve ruined it all and felt so bad and it would’ve been such a waste of time and energy and money#(i got my own lovely 90s decorated room w green wallpaper w i was nine and GOD the way i spent ages 9-18 decorating and redecorating that#room - but at nine i was a lot less mayhemish#anyways that’s besides the point)#i just realized i’ve never thought abt this before and that (mostly) women spend so much time on something that would’ve made no sense in#my home#(also parents being too involved w their kid’s own space makes me claustrophobic- i wanted A LOT of alone time and needed my own space#and the concept of my parents controlling my playing OR what happened in our room makes me stress sweat#oh boy this is rambly and i’m so happy i don’t have kids haha#)

I just need you to know I was reading your tags on the Sillinger/Fantilli Deadpool/Wolverine gifset going "YES THE EYE CONTACT! AND COLE'S WHOLE FACE JOURNEY! AND *OH MY GOD* ADAM'S HAND ALMOST BUT NOT GRIPPING AT COLE'S BICEP" like that near grip Adam took had me fainting like a fucking Victorian era man who saw a woman's bare ankles like W.H.A.T.
I neeeeed to write them omg.
ANON. ANON!!!! please. write them!!!!! and send me a link if/when you do 😇 i’ll prepare my fainting couch (the floor)
#shout out to the columbus blues org for last year deciding they were going to pair up adam and cole for all their nhl (???) playoff media#we really. i still have the world’s worst powerpoint presented by adam and cole in my drafts somewhere and i can’t post it#bc i wanted to make a fake PowerPoint to put on the screen as a joke & it was funny but i didn’t write it down before I went to bed so :/#liv in the replies#also like. what was up w/that nhl?? why them 😭 not complaining just so confused. adam hype wasn’t at its peak NOR was tate mcrae revenge#so they really were like. Hmmm. I like these two little freaks. this one is well-trained. let’s use him#like do you ever think about the blessing that the UMich social girlies bestow on nhl media teams by training all of these men so well.#they do not skip a SINGLE question they will be bullied into it they will give you an answer even if it’s stupid god bless.#adam fantilli#cole sillinger#columbus blue jackets#i REFUSE to admit defeat at the hands of the umich boys#worm. worm. WORM!!!#as we all know i don’t have the slightest idea who cole sillinger is irl but i DO want him to be involved with his teammates.#love thy goalie love thy stunning star prospect… OHHHHH NARRATIVE UNLOCKED OH NOOOOO COLE KNOWS HE’S NOT THAT GOOD SO HE TAKES CARE OF#EVERYONE ELSEEEEEE OH NOOOOOO this message brought to you a) by my elvis merzlikins agenda at all time so that whole sentence but b) by me#mid-realization trying to be like Cole’s not like. bad right you can’t say this but then remembering everyone pulling out his stats to do#him dirty while the whole tate mcrae breakup/release of details was going down and i was like oh actually. like he could be. ALSO on that#note which was so messy i do have to say that news was a shock bc i knew cole sillinger from years prior when everyone held him up like a#bug they pulled from under a rock like who is THIS after he sat front row at fashion week to support his gf so. the threads of this ALSO#come from the initial vision of ‘damn isn’t this a nice one?? a nice hockey??? like lmfaoooo you guys he’s the wag and loves it’) but. this#is also my failing as a storyteller that I love this and will put it in everything but. service kink accommodating for others to give what#he thinks he can’t to allow them to be better. also just. i watched him clean adam fantilli’s floors you can’t go up from that. ANYWAY

sometimes, matt can be so oblivious to his heart that he wont realize the truth until he’s laying down next to the person he’s grown old with, shared a bed with, and lived through so many adventures with that maybe, just maybe, they’ve been more than friends this entire time.
#( other times matt catches feelings early on and knows it’s love )#( half the time matt just thinks ‘wow are are really good really close friends’ )#( sometimes he gets it and sometimes he don’t )#( looking @ u nev )#( what’s worse than one dumb boy )#( two dumb boys )#( and these dumb boys are so painfully a couple & everyone else but them can see it )#( matt vc: we tell each other we ‘i love you’ at least once a day and kiss on the mouth . wow we’re such good friends )#( AND WHATS WORSE IS NEV IS EXACTLY THE SAME )#( NEITHER ONE OF THEM CAN RECONGIZE THAT THEY ARE MADLY IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER )#( matt vc: i can’t wait to grow old with nev . i bet we’ll be the cutest best friends )#( SIR YOU ARE ALL BUT LEGALLY MARRIED )#( what do you mean ur just best friends )#( YOU CAN BE MORE THAN FRIENDS )#( matt vc: i wish i had a boyfriend but at least i have nev . the man i cuddle in bed with every night and wake up to every morning )#( i swear to god )#( PLS MATT YOU CANT BE THIS UNAWARE )#( i will say this is a special case ONLY because both nev & matt share one brain cell )#( so if you think matt is bad then look at nev and know it’s the same )#( both of them complain about not having boyfriends while they’re holding hands at the aquarium )#( idiots dumb dumb idiots )#( i love them so much )

I feel like I need to be in a sleeping bag and Contemplate#fun fact! Kendra Morris has an absolutely stunning cover of don’t talk (put your head on my shoulders)#I’m pretty neutral on beach boys covers tbh I’m never crazy about them since like they really never measure up#how many mid covers of god only knows can I take? not many. but like she & him have their little Brian Wilson tribute I like that.#the covers are a lot better when they don’t try to perfectly replicate whatever the fuck Brian Wilson was doing they aren’t him#brain wants to go melancholy mode but I’ve no clue over what. girl just tell me what I’m supposed to be sad over I’ll commit to the bit#need to keep listening to new stuff but also need old stuff Maybe that’s it maybe I just need old stuff again? like routine?? shit idk#also like at 5 am I woke up and remembered how in choir people kept comparing me to the director they had the year before me#and the thing is she had the same name as someone else in choir that was student teaching my first semester so I kept thinking they were#referring to her Id be in my choir fit my silly suit my proud butch uniform and they’d be like oh this is so ‘insert name’!#and it kept throwing me off because the student teacher was like. not like me at all so I was like fuck#what kind of girl core energies am I accidentally emitting this is Bad. so anyway 5 am I’m like fuck it I need to research this person#I search. find her. she’s butch.

y’all I am drunk as fuck but i am fed the fuck up. i am like hopelessly into this guy in our friend group bc he is so kind and wonderful and attractive and unfortunately he has decided that i am the one person to trust abt his love life and so i must apparently sit through him explaining his struggles with another girl while i am SUFFERING
like he is just so sweet and kind and YES it is a crush and yes i am putting him on a pedestal but he is nothing but kind and sweet to me and it definitely seems like he is flirting with me sometimes but i definitely cannot tell and he does talk abt this girl that he is very into OFTEN (she is for sure not me) and it’s driving me crazy i am so heart broken
#ignore this#ignore me#anyway yeah im fucking wasted so sorry pals you get me being emo abt a boy who simply doesn’t care about me#and who i am telling all my friends that i don’t care about#but he sits next to me!!!#and draws doodles on my papers!!!!!#and smiles and looks at me and tilts his body towards me and like ajdbfb#all night he let me loop my arm in him and helped guide me but then he literally told me abt the girl he’s in love with#and he was giving me a ride and being. so kind so I gave him advice about how to like date/get w/ her but it simply hurt my heart so bad#im literally bawling my eyes out AUGH#sorry team this is what happens when you follow a theatre manor who has t even graduated#you get someone so horrendously dramatic and emo#AUGH#i can’t even make up my mind abt him but i do know i want him so bad#we were enemies now we just need to get to the lovers part#it’s just so sad that he had decided that he can tell no one else abt his love life and his secret crush except for me#bc like.. girl i want you to fail (just kidding he’s so wonderful and i want him to be happy)#but it does definitely hurt but also bring me such joy for him to be like “oh i only trust /you/ with this. im attracted to someone else.#he literally let me loop his arm in him and let me touch him all night#but the second he was drawing home he asked abt a situation which her and her inviting friends to a hang out with him#and it just brown my hearT#i just#agony#sorry team im feeling emo

I think i sound very uh flat n monotone normally, but a lot of ppl disagree.. my perception of my self is sooo skewed
#talked to cjs sister for the first time and she went on abt my voice and it’s weird because to me#I sound like a teenaged boh#*boy mixed with pinkie pie on a good day#either that or it’s giving like. weird seductress rouge the bat grown man#very gender if I say so myself#I’ve been drawing myself a lot more so the way I perceive my self is literally changing by the second#do people notice i deepen my voice the first time we talk#do they notice how I balance on one foot#do they notice the accidental like. ci#*vocal mimicry I do? ch was telling me abt the things they love abt my body because I was being silly and self hating#and it’s weird that the things we r both insecure abt are just things that like. make us us? idk#bad wording. cj could totally change everything new aesthetic new clothes new body type idk they would become my standard for beauty because#they already r. my type is her#I worry if I lose or gain weight if I change my hair again if I change aesthetics or go father into grad goth shit if they’ll find me ugly#but. I don’t think they will#I’ve gained lost changed done all the big changes looks perocnaliyy wise#and I consistinely feel loved and wanted#sorry rambling abt my gf over#ppl sometimes tell me I’m intimidating or rlly nice#strangers call me lovely#loved ones call me everything in between#I see myself as a wretched ugly creature that won’t chnage no matter how much I pull my body around#but maybe that’s not entirely true#but also I like pretending to be a nonhuman creature because it’s fun and dehumanization is okay when I do it
