Liz and the blue bird (リズと青い鳥) dir. Naoko Yamada, 2018

a decision for the sake of love

“So? Can you tell me some things about Yamaguchi?”

This passage from @deanpendragon‘s ‘campfire in your chest’ has been living in my head ever since I read it. The last line punched me in the gut and I’ve been trying to draw it for Months. I really, really hope you like it enough to go and read the fic if you haven’t, because it’s a masterpiece. And then all their other works, because they all are.

Please please click and zoom for quality !! This is one of the biggest projects I’ve ever done and I’m so, so proud!

Transcript under the cut <3

Tadashi is hardworking. He loves volleyball, though not to an unnatural Hinata-and-Kageyama extent. He is insecure, but he gains confidence by the day. He would do anything for his friends - for me. He loves to help, even when there's nothing in it for him. He is selfless. He is quiet but is getting louder. He loves videogames; Pokemon is his favorite. Agree with him on that and he could talk for hours. On rare occasions, he ties hair back. Mostly when it's windy outside. He's extremely clumsy in bad weather. He hugs his pillow to his chest in his sleep instead of lying his head on it like a normal person. He has soft hands. Freckles dot not only his face, but his knees, shoulders, and arms. I would do anything to watch him do nothing for hours. I am his favorite.

um. weren’t you two supposed to be sparring?

cute couples for valentines day!! 💗

bro is grumpy

i realized this was also lost in the fall of the CH website so

since it’s That Time of Year again, i’m just gonna bring back my Every Christmas TV Rom-Com comic

ngl, I am yet to read The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, and watch the adaptation, but one thing that's popping out to me is the amount of people I've seen who assuming that, because Katniss knows the Hanging Tree song, she must be related to Lucy Gray, almost entirely forgetting the source material and its author.

because there are no chosen ones in The Huger Games. Never have been. There are a lot of elements that border on magical realism/the supernatural in the novels, from the character perspectives, but there is no predestination: it is all choice. Katniss isn't special because she's related to someone, she's special because of what she chooses and what that means in the context she's in.

if Suzanne Collins did one thing is write a web of social constellations and memory in constant conversation with the present. It doesn't matter if Katniss is or not related to anyone in TBOSAS. what matters is oral tradition and folk culture of the districts, specially D12 and within that district, The Seam, cannot be controlled. that it exists regardless of Capitol control. that it will always exist regardless of Capitol control. it is in direct conversation with the irl experiences of BIPOC in Appalachia and the working class in Appalachia (and in many places of the world by similarity of irl circumstances due to colonisation and class struggle alone) who have rich oral traditions that constitute an important part of USAmerican Folk, but exist on its own right.

you could interpret it as them being related, sure. nothing stops you: it could be just a hc, it could be analysis with more or less textual evidence, that's up to you. but as people in fandom or who engage with the world of THG we shouldn't ignore this reading bc it's so, so blatant. it is right there. in the end, one of the greatest tools these characters had to overthrow, cheat and avoid the Capitol was the existence of a second history, a local, working class, brown kind of history that in real life and for the characters is taken as non-existent and not valuable for the people in power.

and because it is not of importance, because those people think the people they oppress are barely human and therefore incapable of "actual" culture, it creates a massive blind-spot. these people have the audacity to keep existing. believe me the reason why Katniss knows those songs is because the Seam had the audacity to keep singing — not because it was capital P political, or capital R Resisting. but simply because they existed, against all odds. they lived, against all attempts to exterminate them.

there will still be singing, in the dark times. Suzanne Collins knows that.
