The moment Tigris tells Snow he looks like his father, my heart broke.

That's her Prim.

That's the child she took care of while being a child herself, stuck with an adult who couldn't care for them all that well. She tried so hard and sacrificed so much for the boy that despite all her love still turns into a monster.

Katniss's Prim dies, but Tigris' Prim destroys every part of the boy she raised, to the point she wants him dead and has nothing in her heart for him except absolute loathing.

The Hunger Games, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes SPOILERS (BOOKS AND MOVIES)

ok so I'm sure that by now everyone has seen the posts about how brilliantly Suzanne Collins wove her prequel into the story.

So this will also be such a post. Not a particularly detailed one but hey xD

Anyway - AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

I adore how before Lucy Gray disappears, she tells Snow - I'm going to look for katniss. And then 64 years later, Katniss Everdeen wins the 74th Hunger Games with the meadow song, with a Mockingjay token and by cleverly playing the system (even if it wasn't her intention).

Of course, this reminds Snow of how he played the system in Lucy Gray's favour, he remembers that song from 12 and the Mockingjays that sang after Lucy Gray disappeared.

The parallels are brilliant! And every time that I think about them, I'm once again reminded just how much and why Coriolanus Snow despised Katniss. Not only was she a symbol of rebellion, but she also carried symbols from a past that he wanted to erase. And sure, no one else alive that can hurt him in the capital remembers, but what if someone digs just a little deeper, notices and checks something that appears to be just a little off?

And with so many coincidences surrounding Katniss, is it really a wonder that he assumed that a ghost of his former lover was coming to haunt him from the grave?

There are definitely more parallels out there but I'm currently too tired to think of them xD.

God, I love the world of the Hunger Games. It's so brilliantly written with wonderfully written characters that make me want to continue peeling back their layers just to see what makes them tick. Suzanne Collins truly wrote a masterpiece.

Also I did really enjoy the new movie. I ended up watching it in a language that isn't my native language and was pleased to have understood the majority of what was said xD. The fact that I had read the book previously definitely helped! XD

The sound track was to die for though! Everyone's singing was beautiful. Rachel Zegler's voice really haunted some scenes and gave me chills on more than one occasion. Hearing Can't Catch Me Now during the end credits was great. I've seen some people say that it really explained what happened to Lucy Gray after she disappeared and yeah, I can see where they are coming from. I just really liked how the lyrics tie the end of the Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes with what happens in the Hunger Games. Olivia Rodrigo did a brilliant job with the lyrics.

Ok so this rambling has turned into a review. 😅

Anyway, my only complaint is that we did not see a lot of the Covey in the movie and that the connection between Katniss' dad and the Covey wasn't hinted at.

Having said that, the fact that Katniss' dad taught her those songs and how to hunt wasn't something that was mentioned in the Hunger Games movies (from what I remember of them) so it makes sense that that was left out.

Overall, the movie was amazing. Would recommend - 9/10.

The books are of course a very steady 9.5/10 for me xD.

At some point I'll probably need to make a post about the actors that played Sejanus and Dr. Gaul. They were fantastic! Having said that, the whole cast was really well cast and everyone played their role really well. I was very satisfied with the casting and with everyone's performance.

Pol: Bro-

Arm: No, no, hold up, rewind.

Arm: My tongue was down your throat just a second ago and you're calling me bro??

Mxtx love interest quiz

I just did this quiz and guess who I got xD

I was kind of expecting that xD

But for real, he is one of my favourite characters in SVSSS.

Honestly, when I first met Shang Qinghua in the novel, I had assumed that he would be a kind of antagonist because he was the author and so I had thought that maybe all he wants is for his book to be the same and not change. I had initially thought that he would attempt to stop Shen Yuan from changing anything. I was wrong and oh boy, am I so thankful for that!

Man is really just trying to survive. Relatable xD

This friend... 🥲

Oh that's brilliant! Rouye looks amazing!

Not sure if I like a polyship between Megumi, Nobara and Yuji or NobaMaki and Itafushi better. Someone please make fanart to ease my soul.   

The Problem: Mori wants Dazai as his successor. The mafia wants Chuuya as Mori's successor. Dazai doesn't want it. Cannibalism stageplay revealed that Chuuya doesn't want it either.

The solution: They deal with is skk style. They flip coins, draw straws, battle it out at the arcade. Loser has to lead the PM for a week. Winner gets time off. A week later, rinse and repeat.

Yes, they cheat. Yes, they know the other is cheating. No, it doesn't stop them from trying to out-cheat the other. No, they don't miss a beat picking up right where the other left the work, no matter the codewords, operations, secrets, etc involved that they should technically be clueless about. No, they don't think that's strange. Yes, everyone else is screaming into their pillows.

(Bonus: Dazai spends his ill-gotten time off at the agency, working for the government for a given definition of Dazai-working at a job that pays less than 0.01% of the PM boss salary. He does it to be annoying (and also for mental health reasons).

Chuuya spends his ill-gotten time off attending classy wine-tasting events, writing poetry, and being lead singer for a rock band. He's got a healthy life work balance for the first time in his life.)

Be My Favourite the series spoilers up to episode 4

Ok so episode 4 has a literal love triangle! XD

Like Kawi likes Pear, who likes Pisaeng, who in turn likes Kawi.

Its come full circle! I honestly don't even know why I like the trope of "love triangle" that I am so familiar with being subverted in such a way. I just found it really fun and it adds a bit more to the drama and makes the whole situation funnier. XD

All in all, I'm finding this series really fun and although I usually don't go for time travelling novels or shows (and can only really take the time travel trope seriously in fanfiction) I am really enjoying what the writers and director did with this story.

Also the relationship between Pisaeng and Kawi has made me laugh so many times xD.

*me on a Friday afternoon*

After I married the disabled war god as my concubine - spoilers up to chapter 162

Again, I'm reading a translation so I'm about more than 2/3 of the way in to the story.

Oh my god!!!!!!!!

Jiang Suizhou finally admitted his love for Huo Wujiu to him!!!!!!!!! 🥳🥳🥳

But he's also severely hurt, and Huo Wujiu had to leave him cause that rebellion/civil war thing happening isn't going win itself. 😭

Also Jiang Suizhou!!!!!!! You really went 'I like you. This is the only thing that I can do for you.' And then he passed over the letter containing Huo Wujiu's brother's betrayal before passing out. I'm crying.

On another note, the emperor is dead. That's good, I was waiting for that. Also yeah he died fittingly.

Basically I really can't wait for the next chapter and I'm really thankful to the translators for working on this webnovel!!!

It's awesome!

This is concerning.

Think critically.

It's so funny how pple on all social media platforms are claiming that Oppenheimer isn't propaganda becos it criticizes the bomb, and Im just going, my dears you need to remember how propaganda works. Saying Oppenheimer couldnt possibly be propaganda becos it is critical of the bomb is like saying Brooklyn 99 can't be copaganda becos they had episodes that were critical of the cops. 😑😑😑

Im sick and tired of having to explain until I'm blue in the face that propaganda, particularly Hollywood propaganda, doesnt always have to take the form of obvious messages like "X is good!!" Or, "Y is bad!!" Anyways, here's a great tiktok that explains why Oppenheimer is propaganda:

After I married the disabled war god as my concubine -spoilers up to chapter 105

Since I'm reading an English translation, I found out that the chapters are numbered a little differently than the RAWS. But apparently this is just past the halfway point of the webnovel!

Gggyyyyyaaaaa its so cute! 🥰🥰🥰

Just Huo Wujiu is teasing Jiang Suizhou

💖💖💖💖💖

Also I am so glad that Jiang Suizhou constantly reminds us of who is who cause I couldn't remember who Ji Hongcheng was when he was mentioned a few chapters back.

Also - Jiang Suizhou. You are so jealous, even at the thought of Lou Wanjun having any sort of romantic relationship with Huo Wujiu.

Speaking of Lou Wanjun, I hope we do get to meet her. She sounds like an interesting character.

All in all, so far, I'm really enjoying this story.

After I married the disabled war god as my concubine -spoilers up to ch 63

I just finished reading chapter 63 of this webnovel and I have to say, the author's notes are hilarious 😂

So far in the story, Huo Wujiu is definitely catching feelings and it's so sweet!

Jiang Suizhou has no clue what's coming xD

Also I love how the both of them are just confused af and misunderstanding each other and because of this everyone else is confused af about what their relationship is like and what either of them wants. XD

Xu Du is pretty mysterious and honestly I want to know more about him and the work he does behind the scenes for Jiang Suizhou.

Actually I'd love to get a chapter where we see both Gu Changyun and Xu Du gathering info and running schemes. It'd be so much fun!

Also Meng Qianshan has such a fun personality! He will stand up for stuff he believes in and might not be the brightest but I think he understands emotions better than our leads. XD

I love this story.

Watashi no Shiawase na Kekkon - My Happy Marriage

This manga made me cry so many times.

This anime has also already succeeded in making me cry despite there only being 4 episodes out.

And now I find out I can't find the live action anywhere online 😭

In all seriousness this story really does hit you where it hurts and it is a really well written story. The aesthetic is beautiful and to add music to the mix...👌

Miyo and Kiyoka deserve happiness and despite there only being 23 chapters (currently the manga is on hiatus), I fell in love with their story and the story of their romance.

ao3 down

Just woke up and heard that it's due to a DDOS attack.

I'm just mad cause like hackers are shit for attacking a fanfiction website. Don't care about their reasons, it's a fanfiction website. It's meant to be fucking wild and unrestrained. Even if some of the stuff on there does disgust me. Tags exist. You can exclude the tags that you don't want to read. It's not that fucking hard.

To the wonderful volunteers working hard to fix this for everyone, thank you! May your pillow always be cold! I hope that ye get to indulge in all of your comfort foods and beverages and get a nice break once this is all over.

ao3 down

I love how the moment I see ao3 buffering, I automatically check Tumblr to see if ao3 is down. And it is down. It's currently trending too.

Welp let's go rewatch one of my favourite shows in a different language!

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes trailer

gyyyaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

Its finally here!!!!!!!!!

Omg!!!!!!!!

And the cast looks great too!!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so bloody excited!!!!!!!!!!

It was such a brilliant book and now we'll get to see it on the big screen!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hell yeah!

BNHA Ch 387 spoilers

I'm really conflicted on this chapter. Like I'm happy that Rei is coming in to save them but at the same time - she's probably going to die.

Ok so Geten is related to Rei?!?!?! So cool! Also this opens up the question of just how many quirk marriages there were and just how common they were? And their effects on the families...

Also I have a lot of complicated feelings about Endeavour. I mean, he has definitely done some pretty fucked up things but at the same time, he's a pretty great hero. Although, seeing the consequences of his actions come back to bite him in the ass is satisfying, I'm worried over the effect his possible death will have on the rest of the Todorokis. Like I said - complicated.

Dabi developing Rei's quirk just as he's about to burn out is an interesting development. Kind of curious to see where this will go. He seems to have almost regressed to a younger age with everything that is going on. Or maybe that is just Endeavour's perspective and seeing Touya as he really was back then.

This chapter left me thinking there may actually be a chance at a Todoroki reunion. However, Natsuo and Fuyumi showing up on the battlefield may be a bit too dangerous and risky. But since Rei's there already (after making a dramatic appearance, Dabi really did get his performance skills from someone xD), they might also dain to appear.

Can't wait for next week's chapter.

jjk 218 spoiler

I don't understand why people keep complaining about Yorozu. She's really fun to read. And I'm curious to see what Gege ends up doing with her. I'm not being too optimistic though.

Also I can't be the only one who thought that when Sukuna said that he knew love, that he was referring to something he'd observed through Yuji's eyes? 👀Like he'd witnessed the bonds the jujutsu 1st and 2nd years share.

Having said that, the above is merely some wishful thinking on my part.

Overall, pretty good chapter.

I don't know if I'm reblogging correctly but eehhh

Genya is cool!
