Oh I’m okay?I’m okay,

if you reblog this you are either:

• gay

• love cats

• both

nobody will know which one

Another Blue Sargent post

On a beauty scale I would love to think of the Raven Boys as 9-10s and Blue Sargent as a 7. I love the idea of this regular looking girl chilling with these model looking private school boys but they are all equals. I believe that attractive privilege is a thing and that Blue Sargent tramples it

People who call Kevin weak or pathetic when he’s terrified to the point he has to get drunk as shit to even think about facing the man who abused him all his life can fucking meet me in the mcdonalds parking lot to get their ass beat.

The real unsung hero in AFTG was Nickys high school teacher who saw how depressed he was becoming and decided that he needed to be as far away from his parents as he could get.

14th November 2018

I need to fucking go off on one because this is a load of barnacles:

After Kevin tells Wymack he’s his father, no one asks Kevin if he’s OK.

No, “that must’ve been really hard for you, Kev, let us know if we can do anything,” no, “hey, that was really brave of you,” no, “I hope you and coach will work this out together.”

Nothing.

Dan talks to him, except she’s pissed off at him for hurting Wymack, which of course I understand, and yes, Wymack’s feelings are important, too, but Dan, babe, can you put yourself in Kevin’s place for a hot second?

It even says in the book that Matt had to talk her out of hitting Kevin where bruises would show, what the fuck? And after they talk, Dan goes and sits on Matt’s lap, AND KEVIN GOES AND SITS ON THE OUTSKIRTS ALONE. Like he’s being punished for being a complex human being.

He doesn’t even talk for 20 pages! He says nothing from the moment they decide to go to the cabin to the beginning of the next chapter!

Kevin needed someone that trip, and as per usual he was let down, because he’s evil trash, I guess, and doesn’t deserve to be understood or empathised with, apparently.

My boi was done fucking dirty in general, but I’m genuinely so angry about this.

GOD why do people always overlook the way Kevin cared for Neil and Andrew like yes he had ONE obsession and ONE goal in the world but ???? He still had space in his heart for more!!!

Need I remind you that Kevin was willing to teach Neil every single night even though he knew Neil planned to die at the end of the year? That he told Neil he’d watch him if he wanted to drink so that he could let go for a while? That he believed in Neil’s talent 100% and wanted him to have a bright future?

Need I remind you how it was Kevin who first showed Andrew he was good for something? Who made him have the tiniest bit of hope that life wasn’t going to be a never-ending cycle of “waking up, wanting to die, going to sleep, waking up again”? That it was Kevin who put his life, his career, his survival on Andrew’s hand with almost-blind trust? Who gave Andrew purpose?

Kevin day cares SO. MUCH. And yes, Exy was going to be his #1 priority always, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t care about anything or anyone else. He cared about Andrew and he cared about Neil and they cared about him too. STOP OVERLOOKING THAT.

reblog to have good concert luck

Why do y’all forget Nico di Angelos character is NOT about being gay. Like yes, it’s awesome he was one of the first LGBTQ representations Rick wrote about but....

You guys forget he is SUCH a powerful demigod. He’s a child of the big three. He’s not uwu gay smol sassy baby he’s LITERALLY the ambassador of Pluto and child of hades. He shadow travled the Athena Parthenos across the Atlantic. He TOOK the title ghost king away from KING MINOS. He was the one who gave Percy the idea of bathing in the river of Styx. He brought hazel to the land of the living, CHALLENGED KRONOS HIMSELF And FUCKING FOUGHT FOR HIS FATHERS PRIDE.

He does NOT hate everyone and obviously used to isolate himself due to his sisters death and his own internalized homophobia. No doubt he has some sort of ptsd from traveling in Tartarus alone and being locked in a Bronze JAR. HES SUCH A GOOD WELL WRITTEN CHARACTER AND YALL BE SLEEPING ON THATTTTTTTTT FUCK

I can go on and on about what Nico has done. He is one of the most badass demigods in the series and I’m kinda sick of him being reduced to SMOL GAY BABY UWU.

The Victor’s purge is absolutely something that just blows my mind.

The Capitol propaganda against Victors were so effective, even the very people fighting for their freedom turned on them.

During the events of TBOSAS, we learn that the first 10 winners of the Hunger Games received no compensation for their participation in the games. Why would they? They’re nobodies. Reminders of a war that had forced the people of the Capitol to turn on each other, forcing them into such desperate lengths that they had to resort to eating other people just to survive. They were not celebrated like the Victors we recognize in the 75th Hunger Games. They were not victors but survivors. In fact, we learn that not many people wanted to watch the Hunger Games in the beginning. It left a bitter taste in a person’s mouth to watch children fight to the death and have the event sensationalized, even if the child is considered the enemy.

And yet, with Victors being placed on a pedestal after the events of TBOSAS, we saw how quickly the Victors were woven into the Capitol’s society.

Upon winning, Victors were alienated in their own Districts. They were given beautiful mansions, fed three square meals a day, and their families wanted for nothing. They became mentors, becoming active participants in the very Games designed to kill members of their own Districts. Their participation may have been forced but when you smile and wave at cameras and show off your new found wealth, it’s hard to believe you didn’t want these things.

Victors are even further alienated outside of their own Districts with the Victor’s parade. A whole week of traveling through the 12 districts to show off your vitality and strength and your life, the very thing you took from the other tributes in order to survive. Victors did not need to drip themselves with jewels to offend the other Districts, their survival was insult enough. Never mind that you didn’t want to kill these kids. Never mind that you are a child yourself.

Every place you turn, you’re met with jealousy, derision and contempt. No longer the perfect quintessential victim but a killer of children who “benefitted” from the very system designed to oppress you. By winning the Hunger Games you are no longer District.

So you turn to the one place that showers you with any hint of adoration.

Ingratiating themselves into the Capitol’s society cemented their identity as Other. They may live in the Distrcts, may be forced to subject themselves in horrors that are far worse than any modicum of starvation they faced in the Districts, but they are no longer one of them.

And so the Rebels forget who exactly they’re fighting for, forgot who actually experienced the horror they could only dread.

Yes, they are fighting against their own oppression. Yes, they fight for their child’s right to live and never play in the Games. But they forget about the 59 other Victors who actually went through the horrors they’re fighting against. They forget about the biggest victims of the system they are fighting against.

Snow alienated Victors from the rest of the Districts so much that of the surviving 59 Victors before the events of Mockingjay, only 7 come out alive.

7 out of 59.

There’s not even enough of them to distribute one to every district.

The biggest victims of the Capitol’s oppression also became the biggest victims of the rebel’s war.
