thinking about how the hunger games were designed to prove that without society, order, government, someone to rule, we devolve into little more than animals, and how the games themselves prove over and over again that this is not true. We see it in every single game we witness.

Katniss placing flowers around Rue's body in the arena. Thresh sparing Katniss because she was kind to Rue, even though he was making it that much harder for himself to win.

Haymitch going back for Maysilee after hearing her scream even though their alliance had been broken. Haymitch holding her as she dies the same way Katniss did Rue.

Coral's "I can't have killed them all for nothing" when she realizes she's not going home. Lamina cutting down Marcus at great personal risk. And, my favorite moment in tbosas, Reaper collecting the bodies of his fellow tributes, his peers, even the ones who tried to kill him, into a pile. Taking the weapons from their hands. Closing their eyes and crossing their arms in the best approximation of a proper burial he can manage, covering them with the Capitol flag as a makeshift shroud.

The Games bring out the worst in people, yes. But despite the extreme circumstances, despite the exterior pressure of the Capitol, despite the fact that it could mean pain and heartbreak and death, it also shows that people have an enormous capacity for goodness. That even in a situation purposefully designed to make empathy impossible, people can't help but have it anyway.

Snow looks at the Games and all he can see is what's inside himself-- this pure animalistic drive to conquer and defeat. He kills and it feels good and he thinks that everyone else must feel that way too. He doesn't realize (maybe can't realize) that he is the exception, not the rule. He cannot see outside himself, outside his own warped perspective, to realize that the fact that people do show humanity in the games proves his entire worldview wrong.

Jily Fluff and Feels Part 2

ROUND 2 - Here we go again, but let’s throw some yearning in there. Just a smidge. Just a little bit. Still a lot of fluff. 

I’ve gotten a few requests for a second list of feel good jily fics, so here we go! I currently have 243 tabs open, so we’re ready to roll! A bunch of one shots! Love the heck out of these fics! Comment like there’s no tomorrow! 

Here is the first list if you’d like to take a peek over there

Spring Breaks Loose @charmingwillow - We’re starting off with some pinning here. James has a girlfriend and we get to see moments of Lily dealing with this while she has some feelings for the boy

All Your Moments @nah-she-didnt - Lily realizes something very important while spending time with James after he loses the house cup and it’s so SWEET

Takes a Little Extra Time, But it all Works Out @corinnesamuels - This is such a cute little peek at what could have been if things had gone differently

Whose Part is this, by the way? @theroomofreq - An absolute fluff ball of a fem!jily fic that is absolutely required reading. “I’m not all that interested in trousers“ is the new code

Sirius and Jamie’s No Kiss List @imaginejily - Another fem!jily fic, this time with some wolfstar woven in. I love the relationship between Sirius and Jamie and Lily is amazing! 

Lightening Strikes @the-dream-team - This isn’t so much fluff as it is cathartic. Lily and James are a team and they’re willing to throw punches

Where are your Clothes? @startanewdream James ends up naked in front of Lily before their first date. Like seven hours before their first date. On accident. It’s very cute <3

they loved. @mppmaraudergirl - I was going to pick my favorite one-shot from this collection, but I’ll just link you to the first one so you can read all of them. They’re all so cute and full of pinning and ridiculousness 

Immature, Juvenile Nonsense @orderofthepygmypuff - How can we not love this fic when it has a title like that? James and Lily find themselves in a broom cupboard. Some things come to light. 

First Meeting @authorpetalstosarah - James meeting the fam! And Lily’s family (with some exceptions bc Petunia is Petunia) It’s so much cuteness and 20 shades of wonderful !

augabragð @gryffindormischief - This is also a collection of one shots, I linked it to one of the jily ones where Lily finds herself at a slug club party with James’ dad and it’s hilarious!  

Warmth @women-inthe-sequel - Catch me not linking this fic to everything when I’m dead. Fem!jily take a shower together. It doesn’t get more fluffy

Oil be there for you @abby10fanfic - I love this fic so much. I mean, I love all of abby’s texting fics, but throw in a good MLM scheme and it’s just *chef’s kiss*

about time @jiilys - holy shit I love this fic. James is famous and going to a red carpet event. he wants to bring his friend. Mia is wonderful. I can’t sing this fics praise enough. 

Cold Mess @maraudersftw - James and Lily, who are very much pinning for one another, get thrown into detention together after being caught out and about. We love arguing, pinning prejily! 

Breathless @frustratedpoetwrites - catch me linking another fem!jily fic! I love this one so much. The attention to hands, the friendship between Jamie and Sirius, Lily’s entire being, it’s all wonderful <3

You Can Hear it in the Silence @alrightginger - We’ve got a non-verbal, deaf Lily in a soulmate universe where anything you say about your soulmate ends up written on your skin. AHHHH

i love making incredibly niche spotify playlists

IT’S BACK! I LOVE THIS VIDEO SO MUCH

“People are inherently terrible” no!!! Have you ever seen a child wait for their friend while they tie their shoelaces? Have you ever known someone who would bring hurt squirrels and rabbits and mice to the nearest vet just so it doesn’t suffer? Have you seen someone grieve? Have you ever read something that hit your heart like a freight train? Have you looked at the stars and felt an unexplainable joy? Have you ever baked bread? Have you shared a meal with a friend? Have you not seen it? All the love? All the good? I know it’s hard to see sometimes, I know there’s pain everywhere. But look, there’s a child helping another up after a hard fall. Look, there’s someone giving their umbrella to a stranger. Look, there’s someone admiring the spring flowers. Look, there’s good, there’s good, there’s good. Look!!!!
