it’s horrific. awful way to die. either you’re trapped with no chance of being found, air running out, everyone around you suffocating, or the hull is broken and you get turned to jelly by the crushing ocean depths. ik they’re billionaires so it’s very contentious for me. generally i prefer no one dies horrifically. like just as a fellow human being on earth. but i dont think the ultra rich ever extend that mindset to others. climate refugees. and just everything. it feels like something a greek god would do to punish them. it has a certain swagful je ne sais quoi if removed from the human suffering which billionaires have to do philosophically to maintain their positions. very haunting. the hubris of it all. old jalopy metal tube steered by a mad catz controller. to go look at the titanic. which is nothing but a rusted out metal wreck full of fish and silt. btw. the grandiosity of it is completely unrecognizable. one has to wonder what compels ppl to even look at it in the first place. like the prestige of seeing some filthy grown over shell? crazy thing to die for. very textually rich… bad way to die as a human being. great way to die as a narrative about human greed and folly i guess. good job. mission accomplished?
We could've had Darth Caedus/Jacen Solo and he could've STILL been played by Adam Driver, Daisy could've played Jaina Solo. "Legends" could've stayed canon, and reylo wouldn't fucking exist.
where was this show when I was younger I could've just shown everyone what percy sees when he tried to read and "that's the motherfkin shit that keeps happening to me" instead of a fkin weird ass test
Katniss in Mockingjay after speaking to Hijacked Peeta:

thinking about how some things remained in panem and some didn't.
They burned books in the dark days to stay warm. How much knowledge is lost? Do they know the sun is a star?? Do they know about quarks? do they know about dinosaurs???? did they rediscover all of this???
GODDAMN IT SUZANNE I NEED TO KNOW
Something I noted in my reread of mockingjay is the reference katniss makes to hiding away and watching a spider spin its web instead of doing the practice drill for bombardment like the rest of 13.
This may be me overthinking it to hell and beyond but, Robert the Bruce - a Scottish king who killed in a church and had his wife and sister stolen from him with brothers murdered- fled to the Scottish islands because he didn't know how to continue the fight for freedom he was given. He didn't start it, he almost inherited it (technical details not withstanding). It is said when he was hiding in a cave, he saw a spider spin its web again and again after it was destroyed. This encouraged him to return to the fight before thought hopeless and gain a victory that overcame a borderline dictorship(squint a little because kings always kinda feel dictor like but works for the analogy).
Katniss is in an impossible situation. She had to persevere an impossible situation that has played out before and been crushed (Wallace rebellion = dark days) and now has to be the figurehead to do it again. It is after this point in the book that katniss fully commits to being the mockingjay and playing the part.
Felt neat
