Why Do Y’all Forget Nico Di Angelos Character Is NOT About Being Gay. Like Yes, It’s Awesome He Was

lets be honest here, no matter how many compliments kevin has gotten in his life, he never ever gets used to them, especially if they’re about anything other than exy or his looks. anytime anyone compliments how smart he is or says something nice about his outfit or personality or whatever, he turns as red as a goddamn tomato and you know it. and the cutest thing is he’d like ?? try to hide it ??? but he’s blushing. i know it you know it oprah winfrey knows it obama knows it the aliens know it. we all know it.

"comes back wrong", what a hot trope. incredibly sexy.

nicky has super soft skin pass it on

If I ever get a chance in an AU fic to have Nicky work at Lush I’m gonna, you know that boy EXFOLIATES and MOISTURIZES!!!The upperclassmen and drunk Kevin have multiple times been like “ooooo soft” and patted Nicky’s face or arms in wonder. Nicky, who craves attention and physical contact, is Lovin It

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.

i do literally think keeping jonghyun’s memory alive and loved and sacred is one of the most important things in the world, and i don’t care how silly that sounds. i need the world to never forget how bright and wonderful, how funny, heartfelt and genius he was, how important it is to remember him and honor everything he’s done and everything he was to us and to his family. how this love is the most beautiful and cherished thing and how it keeps the world go round. every year, i miss him so much more. every year, i think that the sheer love for him only grows and increases and doubles in size to the year prior. everything he’s ever touched is drenched in all the love he held inside of him, and now we carry that love into the universe with every little piece of him he left behind; whether it be in songs, in words, in pictures or videos, or smiles and tears. in all the little reassurances he gave us, and that he gave himself. and i hope that everyone can find some strength in those words and in that love and that they remember that there will always, always be a tomorrow. god. i love you so much. i miss you every day like crazy. i talk to the moon and thank him for his kindness. this world is so much brighter thanks to you. i hope you rest peaceful and easy and light and in all the love the world continues to give you.

In this house we love and support Nicholas Hemmick

hey if ur reading this and ur in a bad spot mentally or anything i hope u feel better soon and have a good day ✨⭐️✨

Luke Mullen Appreciation

I know this has been said before, but can we all appreciate the gem that is Luke Mullen?  This kid was minding his own business thinking he was just going to be this minor character, probably not around for much in terms of storytelling.

Imagine being a young actor with no expectations for a role—one of his first, and as that role progressed being asked to be a part of something so huge.  First off, what Terri(and Luke) have done with TJ is amazing, regardless of his sexuality(namely TJ being such a complex and sensitive human).  Seriously, this kid is the king of subtle but impactful facial expressions.    

But secondly, assuming Tyrus ends up being a thing, he’s taken it in such stride.  You hear stories of so many actors(Gavin Macintosh and Hayden Byerly[and to a lesser extent Kalama Epstein] come to mind most immediately for obvious reasons) being asked to take a part of these historic roles, and not only having to carry the weight of what those roles mean, but being comfortable enough with themselves to portray these characters with the gravity they deserve.  Not to mention the actors themselves are so young playing characters that are even younger, it speaks to their maturity.  Obviously we are at a place in society now where variances in sexuality is more accepted and portraying varying sexualities is not as big a deal, but still.  At the end of the day, it’s a huge weight, knowing how much these representations, in such young characters, mean to people.

Luke obviously can’t address it publicly yet, but I wonder what was going through his mind when he was informed that this was where TJ’s character was headed.  Being such a young actor(both in age and experience) and not only being asked to play an LGBT character, but to be a part of such a young historic coupling is a huge deal and he and Josh have carried that weight so incredibly and so respectfully.  People praise Josh all the time and he deserves it, but seriously, Luke is a gem too.  Especially considering how little he’s allowed to talk about it.

Also, on a less serious note, TJ now has 3 lookbacks.  I’m shook.

This never stops being funny Sasuke being like I had a crush on you because you were such a fucking loser
