Also Buttercup 😭😭😭 those scenes of Katniss and Buttercup crying over Prim together make me sob
Suzanne really went for the emotional damage of parallels with Katniss giving Haymitch the geese. Because she knows his pain of losing the one you love, she gave him his own equivalent of her pearl that gave her comfort when she thought Peeta was gone.

it was at this point in the book when i started sobbing
Suzanne Collin’s just said fuck you to everyone who’s ever critiqued the Hunger Games as being a “teen girl saves the day” story. She said oh, Mockingjay didn’t make it clear enough? Here’s a book about how people have been rebelling for decades only to have their efforts suppressed and propagandized. Rebellion takes time and it takes failure and Katniss may have been the spark that ignited the wildfire but she did so standing atop the doused flames of everyone who came before her.
#fucking ouch#so painful to read#and so timely#sotr#thg sotr#the hunger games#sunrise on the reaping

The Lady and the Unicorn is the modern title given to a series of six tapestries created woven in Flanders from wool and silk, from designs drawn in Paris around 1500. The set, on display in the Musée de Cluny in Paris, considered one of the greatest works of art of the Middle Ages in Europe.

"According to my only wish."

"The lady with the unicorn. Hearing"

"The lady with the unicorn. Touch"

"The lady with the unicorn. Smell."

"The lady with the unicorn. Vision"

"The lady with the unicorn. Taste"
#this is incredible#our couch had this design on it until our dogs ate it lol rip#i’ve always had a fondness#i had no idea the amount of detail and scale though#wow#middle ages#art

it’s always a good time to remember that time Ivan Vorpatril got discreetly dosed with Cetagandan anti-viagra right before being “invited upstairs” by 2 beautiful noblewomen, so he improvised some bullshit about it being a matter of Male Vor Honor(TM) to get a woman off 3 times before he himself came, and proceeded to foreplay so well and so thoroughly that he successfully exhausted all of them to sleep and snuck out; and the next day started getting a flood of invites to “private parties” hosted by more noblewomen, including at least 1 who was married.

I’m so glad people like my Vorkosigan saga memes. I made more for a presentation where I explained what happened in every book but I only had 60 seconds for each, and I explained them in the order they were published instead of the order they happen. It was great. There was shouting. I really need to post those

it’s such a shame that even 30 years into the reign of Gregor Vorbarra, Barrayar’s government is still fundamentally non-transparent with a tight hand on the press, because can you fucking imagine watching Ekaterin tell Richars to fuck off then propose to Miles in the Chamber of Counts live on Barrayaran C-SPAN

I finished A Civil Campaign and I will scream about it more later but. For now, simply put: greatest ever fictional deployment of a couch to deal a lethal amount of psychic damage. Cordelia you fucking legend.

like the first rule of cooking is to have fun and be yourself and the first rule of baking is to stay calm because the dough can sense fear
#idk i’ve fucked a lot of shit up being like#lalala just a little bit of spice here who needs a recipe#but i also wasn’t raised doing very much cooking at all#so trying to learn that as an adult is a journey#baking is great i love it#you have to try the recipe multiple times to get it right but then you understand it and it’s fun

One thing I love about Cordelia and Aral is that they come from such different cultures with such different taboos and mores, and they are each delighted by the other's expression of these differences
#the list of taboos is fantastic#and cordelia just being like why are these people so weird i need to write out rules for myself to understand them#vorkosigan saga#cordelia naismith vorkosigan#lois mcmaster bujold#aral vorkosigan
