captain swan is so funny because killian is in the midst of a multi-hundred year revenge plot and then he meets emma and goes "oh. turns out i am still capable of love. yeah im gonna go do that instead"
ptsd pisses me off so bad WDYM THIS COULDVE BEEN AVOIDED?!?!?!? I COULDVE LIVED MY LIFE FREE FROM THIS SHIT BUT PEOPLE JUST HAD TO FUCK ME UP. FUCK YALL
my beloved girl and my beloved yapper of a man, you are so vaild
Comparing Haymitch and Katniss' narrative styles is so funny to me because he's a yapper and she's a gatekeeper. He drops more lore on D12 in the first two chapters of SOTR than she does in the entire trilogy.
Haymitch is like "Yeah, so this person is related to this person who's related to this person and things are this way because of this and this thing actually came from here and this person is actually my best friend and also here's this extra tidbit of random info cause all my lore dropping comes with it's own additional bonus content and all my unnecessary commentary."
And Katniss is over here like "Tf do I care for if y'all know all the lore of District 12? I'm talking about my beautiful husband's beautiful eyelashes."
rip violet crawley you would've loved seeing the state America is in right now

Gobber: Hiccup is a regular sized teenager, i don’t think you understand how humans work-
Stoick: i love my tiny son
Kylo Ren: Who are you
Jacen Solo: I'm you but better
years later, I figured out it wasn’t Reylo I hated, it was the whole canon of the third star wars installment, lol. Or I should say the characterization, because what was really promising in TFA turned into gibberish by the time TLJ came around. Maybe people had actually good headcanons for Reylo, I don’t know because I’m not invested in that ship, but if you go off the actual characterizations and make it somewhat canon compliant: yeah it’s abusive, unrealistic and just plain weird, there’s no way around it.
I loved The Force Awakens, but mostly for it’s ‘fresh’ feeling (new characters, new take on the originals, interesting parallels, gorgeous cinematography) and the potential of it. I loved Rey & her independence, I loved Finn who went against his conditioning as a stormtrooper after he saw his friend die; I was intrigued by the idea that he could be a Jedi. I liked Poe’s and Finn’s friendship (fuck disney for not letting them be the space gays they deserved to be). There’s so much more though.
I actually liked a lot of the ideology & spirituality themes in TLJ (bringing a bit more grey area into the jedi/sith dichotomy, marxist ideology even lmao. Also salty, broken Luke Skywalker was a genius progression imo) but it opened up too many new chapters that couldn’t possibly be resolved in the third part. Also it felt like a weirdly sexualized movie, just felt really uncomfortable to me (but that’s a bone I have to pick with all of Ryan Johnson’s movies I’ve seen so far, too traditionally heteronormative for me). That’s where the Reylo picked up in canon, and how it was portrayed in the movie was problematic and personally, I hated it. Whatever people did on ao3 with it, idc, but it was neither a good setup for a romance in a kid/teen movie nor for a possible redemption (sorry but my measure for a good redemption arc will always be Zuko, and kylo ren did not cut it). It was rushed and poorly made, people defending the writing pissed me off. The third installation of the trilogy was just a scramble to save what’s left, but they failed to the point that I couldn’t even remember the plot or characterization (what characterization??) without reading wiki articles about it. So whatever Disney could conceal with an intriguing opening of the trilogy was destroyed when they showed their true colors with the following two movies. No consistency and a backwards approach to characterization.
Oh and the other thing that was a completely wasted opportunity: a rebellion from within, stormtroopers being freed from their conditioning and therefore dismantling the first order. Wasn’t that the whole point, unshackling an army of abducted children? They hung a gun in TFA but didn’t fire it. I am so fucking mad about that.
I'm aware we make fun of katniss for not realising everyone liked her and that peeta wasn't trying to play some strategy in the game, he's in love with you goddamnit, but
Katniss's entire existence up to that point since her father died was just. Survival. Not just for her but for the two family members she has left. It's been pointed out for ages that katniss, while being vague about so many details it's insane, will always tell the reader exactly what she ate and when and how much. She catalogues her days by when she retrieves food and when she sees her sister.
That's all she's had room for in her brain till then. Survival. No room for friends, romance, normal social behaviours longer than "geasey sae gets more than she should for that price because she's the only one who'll pay for wild dog".
Katniss my beloved traumatised girl, you should've had a breakdown sooner. Fuck the movies for leaving out her breakdown at the end. It was coming for a very long time.
