My Ducks Are Not In A Row But They Are All Wandering In Vaguely The Same Direction

I Write Sins Not Tradgedies would be the perfect song for a Bridgerton episode. It's literally about being caught in a scandalous position that rouines a wedding

Most of these take place in some miscellaneous undefined AU that is much happier than cannon.

*Isadora and Quigley are thrill seekers and do really reckless things when they’re together that consequently give Duncan a stomach ache. 

*However Duncan and Quigley do stupid things together that make Isadora role her eyes. Not stupid in a reckless way, but still in a ‘what the fuck were you thinking?’ sort of way. Things like chugging 3 gallons of water and not going pee for 3 hours on a dare.

*Violet doesn’t have any fucks left to give

*Violet is a wine aunt

*We already knew this but Klaus has woke barista energy and is supremely sassy

*As a teenager Sunny is a total stereotypical badass

*Duncan is a terrible babysitter

*Klaus Baudelaire has had too many iced coffees

*Klaus, Duncan, and Isadora are insomniacs but in completely different ways

*Klaus was just up that late because he had too much caffeine and he was reading and he didn’t know what time it was. 

*Duncan’s been procrastinating all day but got a burst of energy and works manically between the hours of midnight and 3 AM

*Isadora is just full of energy and down to party or she wants to quietly look at the stars and write poems, no inbetween. 

Society if we gave James MacAvoy and Michael Fassbender full creative control over Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr so they could make their Cherik fishing roadtrip romcom

It was 9:30 pm. I put on a foot mask and downed a soda. I have never had a more productive work time. Proof that self-care and soda is the answer to all your problems

Death comes for us all but death cums for Agatha lol

AGATHA ALL ALONG 1.07 Death's Hand in Mine

Some people watching WandaVision: That’s so fucked up, why would Wanda do that? Wanda needs to work through her issues in healthier ways

Me watching WandaVision: Altering reality- what a sick coping mechanism! shame it turned out to be unethical because that’s a perfectly valid response

You know how in American high school movies, the girls always work really hard/aggressively compete to win homecoming/prom queen? (which never happens irl) But just once it would be cool to see a high school movie about a guy who’s obsessed with trying to be homecoming/prom king

I just started reading Sunrise on the Reaping and I've had some initial thoughts

Bear in mind this may change as I read further...

So one of my friends started reading Sunrise on the Reaping and said she doesn't like it because it feels like there are too many call backs to other parts of the series that feel gimmicky and like they are catering to fans. Partially, I agree. Especially with Lenore Dove being covey. The amount it's mentioned feels a little gimmicky but it also serves a purpose in that it answers questions the readers had about what happened to these people.

Similarly the inclusion of characters that we see or hear about in the original trilogy serves the function of answering readers questions. I also think that because we know what happens to these characters it shows that Haymitch had a similar upbringing and could just as easily have ended up with a similar future to them.

What is truly tragic about this novel is that while you can see how the young Haymitch we are presented with becomes the Haymitch we know, we can also imagine all the other paths his life could have taken.

Quite similar to how Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes offers alternatives foe who Coriolanus could have been. It shows that Snow was presented with choices and ultimately chose power over everything else. For Snow the key word is choice. To some extent Haymitch has less agency but to another extent his story is about choices of when to rebel and when to stay quiet.

Not trying to spread hate or anything but the one thing I hate about tumblr is that it's full of cats. Cat pics, cat people, just generally too many cats.
