running late, passing a church on your way to class, study groups and messy notes, too much coffee, noisy streets, brief moments of calm and awe

Since it’s trending apparently a reminder that I’m the only person with correct opinions about The Hunger Games. And anyway the books say revolution is a scam propagated my ambitious tyrants,
it says media and celebrity culture are toxic,
it says that being a angry and hate-filled person even towards the “bad guys” will only lead to you becoming just like them.
And that you, yes you personally, you reading this, can be convinced that children need to die.
And with only a little more persuasion you can be convinced to watch

people denounce traditions and rituals like 'prayer is just repeating words' or 'why would I rest on Sunday I have stuff to do' or 'going to church once a week is just mindless'
and then they say 'here's a great morning routine! repeat these affirmations every day! practice gratitude every night before bed! 5 ways to build community! Sunday reset checklist!'
my sister in Christ you're reinventing the wheel. we've been doing all that for centuries.

Catholic academia in October:
old rosary tangled with earphones in your pocket, reassuring texture of the beads between your fingers. cold hands and hot coffee. late blooming roses reminding you of st. Thérèse. scribbling latin phrases on the margins. reading The Interior Castle on rainy afternoons. going to the evening mass at sunset and leaving when it's already dark, crunchy leaves under your feet.

I’ve spent my whole life begging everyone in my life for the bare minimum, for any effort back. And I’m so tired.

Too long I have lived among those who hate peace. I call for peace,
but when I speak they are for war.

you know what’s so crazy interesting? how in 13 fucking pages, rhys didn’t say sorry, not once. his entire monologue was essentially just “look at how tragic i am, don’t you feel bad for me feyre.”
t h i r t e e n pages 515 - 528, and not a single apology. he even admits that he hurt feyre!
still does not apologize!
buuuuutttt guess who said sorry when she hurt feyre. nesta fucking archeron
no excuses, no sob story. she’s just truly sorry.
oh but it’s nesta that’s irredeemable.
it’s nesta that doesn’t deserve forgiveness.
it’s nesta that hurt feyre the most in her entire life.
it’s nesta that hasn’t done nearly enough to earn her sister’s love.
it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nesta, it’s nes—
it’s you that shut the fuck up

Alot of people say, "Oh why are movie Villains right about social issues and wrong about their methodology? Why does Riddler blow up a dam when his problems are wealth disparity?"
Dude, the Unabomber was right about technology out pacing human comprehension, but his master plan was to send mail bombs to people who don't even open their own mail.
People forget about that one Warlord who was right about how colonization and French occupation were literally raping his country, but he decided the best way to solve that was to kill his own country's doctors and teachers

a surgeon will hold a scalpel and say "i will now create a vagina". and he will then proceed to make a hole that can only be used for sex, and perform none of the other functions that a vagina does or be connected to any of the other organs that a vagina is connected to. and the world will say, behold, a woman. what is this if not perverse misogyny?
oh man I've never thought of it like that....like if I cut got a doctor to cut a slit on the side of my head, heal it open, use dialotors to keep it open, and said "behold, a third ear" everybody would be like :/ no :/

It’s funny how people keep saying Nesta snaps at everything and that she’s always angry but I’m over here wondering why the fuck she didn’t smack Morrigan any chance she got. Mor was a POS to her and Nesta literally just ignored her. Cassian attacks Nesta the first time he meets her and she just ignores him. Cassian tells her he didn’t ask to be shackled to her and she just sends him away.
How was she able to control her temper? I wouldn’t have been able to do that lol
