#but i cant stop thinking about it

[timelesslords]

thinking about how the hunger games were designed to prove that without society, order, government, someone to rule, we devolve into little more than animals, and how the games themselves prove over and over again that this is not true. We see it in every single game we witness.

Katniss placing flowers around Rue's body in the arena. Thresh sparing Katniss because she was kind to Rue, even though he was making it that much harder for himself to win.

Haymitch going back for Maysilee after hearing her scream even though their alliance had been broken. Haymitch holding her as she dies the same way Katniss did Rue.

Coral's "I can't have killed them all for nothing" when she realizes she's not going home. Lamina cutting down Marcus at great personal risk. And, my favorite moment in tbosas, Reaper collecting the bodies of his fellow tributes, his peers, even the ones who tried to kill him, into a pile. Taking the weapons from their hands. Closing their eyes and crossing their arms in the best approximation of a proper burial he can manage, covering them with the Capitol flag as a makeshift shroud.

The Games bring out the worst in people, yes. But despite the extreme circumstances, despite the exterior pressure of the Capitol, despite the fact that it could mean pain and heartbreak and death, it also shows that people have an enormous capacity for goodness. That even in a situation purposefully designed to make empathy impossible, people can't help but have it anyway.

Snow looks at the Games and all he can see is what's inside himself-- this pure animalistic drive to conquer and defeat. He kills and it feels good and he thinks that everyone else must feel that way too. He doesn't realize (maybe can't realize) that he is the exception, not the rule. He cannot see outside himself, outside his own warped perspective, to realize that the fact that people do show humanity in the games proves his entire worldview wrong.

walk with me...

(i turned this into an au: masterlist)

this is a very spur of the moment not well thought out au but... JUST LISTEN. (more under the cut & in my pinned)

Lawrence Stroll bought a team on the f1 grid in 2006

Renamed it Racing Point to secure a spot for his 18 year old son (and put him in pink bc hes so cute in pink)

Lance Stroll was born October 29, 1987, he started karting in 1991

Fernando Alonso was born July 29, 1981, started karting in 1984

When Lance made his debut in f1 there was a lot of talk around the paddock about the nepo baby and Strolls choice to have both drivers on the team be rookies. (Stroll and Rosberg)

During the first race of the season Lance got p6 and Nico got p7, both scoring points for the team

After the race Fernando Alonso went to congradulate the rookies, both stunned because the race winner was praising their work

Nico was honored to be congradulated by a world champion

Lance was... well. Maybe he liked the older mans praise more than he should've.

As the season progressed Fernando continued to find reasons to speak to the rookies, even though it was evident he cared more about what the brunette had to say.

After both Racing Point drivers DNF in the 2nd and 3rd races of the season Fernando made sure to try and lessen the pain.

Each time Fernando came to the Racing Point garage, each time he searched the paddock to find #18, each time he spoke it only made the 18 year olds heart grow fonder.

Lance thought the driver was like this to every rookie, so caring and comforting, but that just wasn't the case.

He was known for not going out of his way to do anything like he was doing with the Racing Point drivers.

After Lance got 6th in the 4th race of the season Fernando was the first to congratulate him, as if he hadn't just gotten second.

He noticed at the next race that he didn't go out of his way to congradulate Nico on his 7th place, he just went straight to him to comfort him about yet another DNF.

Before then he hadn't thought too much about Fernandos intentions or why exactly he was talking to him so much.

By this time in the season fans had started to notice how close the two had gotten, seeing how they naturally gravitated towards eachother.

When Fernando won the next race Lance made sure to beat him to it and congratulate the world champion first, loving how it brought a smile to his face.

Fernando didn't smile like that when others congratulated him, didn't smile like that when being asked about his wins, didn't smile like that when Nico said the exact same thing.

Lance felt insane for thinking this way but he couldn't help but feel a little special.

A few races later in America was the first time Fernando wasn't on the podium, the first time they spent the whole time after the race together.

It was nice, being in his presence, he felt like a sunbather in the sun anytime the older man spoke to him, it was silly but it was always his favourite part of the race week.

The next time he wasn't on podium was in Germany, he almost felt bad for feeling this way but he looked forward to the days when Fernando got p4 or lower because it meant they'd spend the whole afternoon together.

It was just like in America, the two of them just standing around going over the week and the last few races until Fernando asked him a question.

"Have you ever kissed someone?"

Lance laughed at the question, unsure where it came from

"Have I kissed anyone?" He asked back, wondering if it was a serious question

"Si, you do know what kissing is, no?"

Lance couldn't help but laugh again, he was 18 not 8, of course he knew what kissing was.

"Have you ever kissed anyone?" Lance asked, knowing for a fact he had, it'd be insane if not, how could someone so stunning not have kissed someone? How could someone with girls around him constantly have not kissed someone and more.

"I asked first, Lancito."

Fernando had called him that almost constantly since the season started yet every time it never failed to make the youngers heart flutter.

"No" He admitted, almost embarrassed "I'm not very good with people" he added, knowing the only people on the grid he could talk to easily were Fernando and Nico

"I could be your first"

(if this doesn't make sense pretend u never saw it)

oh and AND Anastasia's bones still reside within the tomb! We know other lyctors/part-lyctors were capable of extreme acts of necromancy. Guys, they've been around ten thousand years. Pyrrha was literally suffering locked-in syndrome for (nearly) Ten! Thousand! YEARS! Who's to say what Anastasia experienced when she "misapprehended the process." Who's to say what sort of abilities/disabilities her ascension wrought upon her, and how powerful a necromancer she was.

What would you do with that, if you wanted to kill God? Maybe....become a revenent? And sit there in the tomb. and wait. for her one shot. to not miss her chance to blow. because opportunity comes once in a myriad

clock out blue lies theory

(yes really)

Khem SO first we dont know will there be any more clock out animations but its nvm im just sucker for visual paralels and anything sad-ist related so

Look at preview covers:

yellow zone was about stanley vs the sistem of tsp or stanley vs narrator, he's on the cover obviously bc he's mc

Here Stanley runs to the left, because he's, like, goes into the sistem, he goes back, deep into the core of "Stanley Parable"

blank decay was about stanley and narrator vs the sistem

but nor stanley or narrator are on the cover. Its that creepy thing that was stanley's coworker.

Thats because this is who "won" in that animation (even tho stanley was revived they didn't escape, didn't beat the sistem)

BUT in the new "Blue lies"

Stanley is on the cover again.

And! he's running to the right, opposit from where he went in the first part. Away from sistem. And he is alone so maybe also away from the Narrator.

That and the animation called "Blue lies".

Sooo are we expecting a little angst? How do you think?

#am i insane maybe but am i happy god yes #I know it's literally couple of hours since the announcement #but I cant stop thinking about it #im so hyped #is stanley gonna escape the parable but w/out narrator? #is it going to be happy end? #is it even an end??? but thats unrealistic bc we all know that the end is never th #the stanley parable #tsp #sad ist #yellow zone #blank decay #blue lies #clock Out #my post

I just reached the Water 7 arc for the first time so I don't know if this was ever discussed in the later chapters, but I can't stop thinking about Franky's backstory. How he wanted to build all these machines and weapons that were abused by others to hurt the people he cared about, so he made a new weapon out of his own body as no one can use that like they did the ships

#anyway #like i said im catching up on 20 years worth of content #so maybe this is nothing new #but i cant stop thinking about it #franky #one piece #franky one piece #straw hat pirates #water 7

ffxvi spoilers below but i have one question that haunts my mind and needs answering:

is it explained somewhere why joshua never told clive that he was alive for the past 13 years? he follows him around, and he knows that clive became suicidal upon learning that he was the one behind the phoenix gate events. why did his baby brother, the one who cherished him the most, never tell him the truth?

#ffxvi #ffxvi spoilers #aya.txt #dont get me wrong i love joshua #but i cant stop thinking about it #these two were so close they mean everything to each other #and yet joshua just... follows him? clive's mindset couldnt sink any lower and yet he does nothing? #idk if i missed something but the only explanation i have for now is that he was waiting for the perfect opportunity #after learning all he could about ultima #and if i'm right its TERRIBLE #how could joshua do this to clive?

Keep going in the hollyoaks tag even though i know it's full of spoilers, but this damn soap is giving me psychic damage

So back to my Wilmon bullshit.

In episode 2, you know how Wille runs away at the movie night and he is sitting on the window sill. Just when Simon comes to check on him (and kiss him), Wille opens the window wider accidentally while turning to face him. I think it is not a coincidence because he also opens up to him more, in a sense that he does not only kiss him back but also Simon is the only person he can talk to.

For the past week I have been thinking about Kino's "I can't swim" line in ep 10 of Andor and I literally will never get over it so here's my breakdown on why it's so devastating.

One way out. Words everyone, but most specifically Kino had been repeating ever since they found out no one was being released. One way out, and yet all the prisoners seem to be interpreting that as "fight or die" but that's two ways out...isn't it?

Not for Kino. Not for Kino who remembers they're surrounded on all sides by water. Not for Kino who knows he can't swim. To him, one way out really means just that. Death is the only way out for him if he's not being released, it's just how he goes about dying that matters.

That's why it's so painful. Because Kino knows death is the only thing that waits for him, and yet after thinking only for his own self interest for so long, being selfish because he's terrified and desperate to survive, he makes the selfless choice. Because even though he knows it's going to kill him, it's better than dying slowly stuck where he is now. So he thinks like the leader he's supposed to be, and helps everyone else instead.

And that's why it hurts so bad. Because when he's standing on the edge, staring down into the water and watching all the men dive towards their freedom, he's realizing just how much of an impact he made, and that he really could still do something selfless. And he doesn't say it with fear, he honestly almost looks like he's laughing, because he's bewildered himself with how heroic he's been.

Fuck that line destroyed me dude, this show is sick as hell.
