Sometimes Little Pleasures In Life Are Loadbearing. Whenever Someone Is Like "If You'd Just Give Up Tea

This!!!

I'm about to start a Sejanus Plinth defense squad considering the takes (tm) i have seen on his character.

The reason why Sejanus trusted Snow is because Snow never gave him a reason not to. It is not because he is stupid. Actually I would argue, if we didn't have his internal monologue and we didn't know his future, Coryo's actions before part 3 would make him seem very trustworthy as a friend for Sejanus AND as someone who is willing to defy the Capitol. But we have his internal monologue and Sejanus didn't.

Form Sejanus's point of view, he was bullied as a kid and Coryo was the only one who didn't participate in it.

Coryo was the one who went and met the tributes and climbed with them to the zoo. From Sejanus' point of view, this could be seen as his first act of defiance.

Coryo cheated to save Lucy Gray, the district 12 girl three times. He got expelled because of it, that's literally defying the Capitol.

Sejanus went into the arena to die and Coryo stopped him, putting his own life in danger in the process. Of course he would trust Snow with his life after that.

Snow put on a front. That's the point of the contrast between his extremely unhinged internal monologue and his somewhat heroic action. Lucy Gray fell for it (to a point), Sejanus fell for it , everyone fell for it.

That's not on Sejanus and it doesn't make him stupid.

That one line where he says he liked it better when Lucy Gray was locked up in the Capitol so he would know where she was at all times......How do you read that and still think he's being humanized

Some of you read with your own eyes snow literally talking about owning Lucy Gray and still thought to yourselves “this book is using this love story to humanize snow and make him a good guy” hmmmm interesting…

the thing about the "um excuse me if you're as poor as you say you are why don't you just sell all your most treasured possessions" thing that people love to trot out as some kind of "gotcha" is that they do not acknowledge how fucking soul-crushing it is to be in a situation that is already destroying your mental health and then be forced to sell one of the few things in your life that still bring you joy

What about the other months tho? Pretty sure I was listening to music then too

got my wrapped

I hate when I say things like "oh I want an ipod classic but with bluetooth so I can use wireless headphones" and some peanut comes in and replies with "so a smartphone with spotify?" No. I want a 160GB+ rectangular monstrosity where I can download every version of every song I want to it and it does nothing except play music and I don't need a data connection and don't have to pay a subscription to not have ads and don't have popups suggesting terrible AI playlists all over the menus.

Gimme the clicky wheel and song titles like "My Chemical Romance- The Black Parade- Blood (Bonus Track)- secret track- album rip- high quality"

MOOOOOOM, they’re trying to turn Tumblr into TikTok again!

Every desi man who complains about women being able to pick and choose their partners while they’re lucky to find any girl at all, needs to be reminded that they brought this upon themselves after decades of female feoticide and infanticide. It’s just demand and supply.

“at least you didn't have to—” NO SHUT UP just because you had it worse doesn't make anyone else's trauma and problems easier. you are different. everyone you meet is different. let people have their moments to talk about their sorrows even though they might not seem like real problems to you.

I think one of the most damaging ideologies towards children is the conviction that having children isn’t a calling but a moral obligation.

I wish there was a way to completely OPT OUT of AI. Like you could set your ENTIRE Internet browser to NOT shove it down your throat.

When social media was getting big, you could just NOT get a Facebook or a Twitter. It was simple as that. You can't do that with AI.

Trying to find a job? It goes straight to an AI filter. Trying to look at art? Here's 100+ ai shit. Trying to look up who was in what movie from the 1980s? GOOGLE GEMINI IS HERE WITH THE COMPLETELY WRONG ANSWER!

Someone PLEASE create a way to allow people to get AI the FUCK OUT of our lives if we DO NOT WANT IT!
