have i talked before about how crazy it drives me that in old bdubs videos he would super abashedly talk about his love for making things pretty? because. it drives me crazy.
at the beginning of mc4 when everyone was clearing out spawn so it was a lifeless flat plot of land to build on and bdubs took it personally and added grass and foliage once everything was built to make the whole landscape more lively and cohesive. and how hed get made fun of for thinking about little shit like that.
also when he got asked what hed be doing if he wasnt doing mc and he mentioned music (i think) and basically was super embarrassed to be like “i know its not very manly, but im super into artsy fartsy stuff”. as if that is a bad thing.
anyway im getting so emo thinking about how in hermitcraft, everyone knows and admires bdubs skill as a builder and its not ever something thats made fun of anymore. thinking about how bdubs never talks down about his own abilities anymore and instead of feeling weird about being a dude whose into artsy fartsy stuff, hes really embraced his career as a creator of beautiful things.

where did the idea that katara does everything and bears the brunt of all the emotional and physical labour of the gaang even come from. like. bc she's empathetic and cooks?? i see ppl say the gaang take advantage of her and she's the one doing everything but like.. did we watch the same show. was there not a whole argument between toph & katara where katara argued that everyone did their part around camp and toph didn't which is why she's so mad, the whole episode aang was trying to collect frogs to help his sick friends even whilst being captured, the episode where the gaang realise huh. we can't get much done without sokkas structure. they are a team!!! they all help each other!!!

And even as he espied them and came swooping down, he saw them fall, worn out, or choked with fumes and heat, or stricken down by despair at last, hiding their eyes from death.
Side by side they lay, and down swept Gwaihir, and down came Landroval and Meneldor the swift…
Orthannen im vi ól

In a dream I was lifted up.
Borne from the darkness
Above rivers of fire
On wings soft as the wind.
What's happened to the world?
Is everything sad going to come untrue?

No thoughts, head empty just thinking about Former asylum patient!Harper
Warnings: Gaslighting, Implied Non-con, Manipulation, Abuse of authority, Braiwashing, Mentions of drugs, Obsessive themes, Captivity
Sooo, if what that one patient said about them is true?
It's a secret they are REALLY careful to keep. Obviously. No one in the hospital or the asylum or really anywhere in town questions their authority. And anybody who knew anything about "the before" conveniently disappeared. Something like that has to be quite a number to pull of. So it would be very stupid to let them know about what you've heard...
But if you were to confront them about it...
1. They may be able to talk themselves out of it, claim it's just a "silly rumour" (Would you mind giving them the name of the little troublemaker spreading it? It would be counterproductive for the health of their patients when they hear such awful rumours!) or even a delusion on your part. You poor thing, they may have to adjust your medications or give you more one on one therapy. After all, they don't want your condition to get worse! (They'd still keep a close eye on you though)
It really depends on your submissivenes and suspicion.
... but if you somehow have prove however...
2. Just imagine them completely dropping their act. Their whole persona changing in the spilt of a second. They'd have you pinned under the nearest surface or against the next wall in an instant. It's the most violent you'd ever see them. Their grip bruising, voice raised as they demand to know where you got that from.
Pray that you can overpower them, because it seems like someone is just begging to be put into isolation...
And it does not matter how much of a brat you are. Everyone breaks eventually, and they are veeery patient.
A pretty bad outcome for you. You'd basically become their little toy. A victim to their darkest fantasies. Their favourite little specimen. Not to mention Harper's tendencies to get a little... obsessive...
Oh and btw, you are never EVER leaving the asylum again.

i liked the Hunger Games prequel overall. (Spoilers ahead.) I can't say I was too thrilled to watch Snow be a compicated gray character after how cartoonish everything is in the og series, but that's Susanne's prerogative ig. Like idk I'm not seeing the path from A to B, from the dutiful poor young man he was to the dictator he became - all because Lucy didn't trust him with a gun. Where did his empathy go? I'm sad he also lost some of his freakishness in the process, those shots of him looking at rats were a lot. I did enjoy the symbolism though, even if it was very heavy-handed.
I didn't like the first half of the film the most - the, again, cartoonish students, straught outta WW's Chocolate Fabric, except they fall into vats full of snakes instead of chocolate. I didn't like their take on the 50s aesthethic - it reminded me a lot of the Fantastic Beasts films where I didn't like it either. Blegh. I didn't like the Games themselves, even though the ways Snow helped Lucy were pretty fun. Dr Gaul was fantastic, of course. I wanted to call her the first evil scientist in the field of social studies, but then remembered the 70s psychologists... Her bloodied fit, too, mwah. Otherwise I didn't like how the film used female characters, and even if Lucy was great, we never got to scratch past her surface. I was SO ready to see her do a 180° turn on Snow after the Games - she's a performer, after all, - sad she didn't.
I think the best thing I got out of this film is the realization (based on pretty vague memories of the og films) that everything Katniss did were, unbeknownst to her, acts of horrendous psychological warfare on Snow, it's very funny. No surprise he got fixated on her (don't get me started on his fixation on his own's mother)
