Thinking About Maysilee Donner. A Girl Who Refused To Let The Capitol Dehumanize Her. A Girl Who Wanted

the way haymitch and katniss's father were friends. the way burdock held him from running into the fire. the way him and blair stayed at haymitch's victor's house. the way asterid gave haymitch sleep syrup. the way burdock and asterid were the last ones to keep contact with haymitch, trying to ease his grief. the way it took haymitch hurting asterid for them to leave him. the way burdock showed him lenore's grave, which he probably found long ago, instantly thinking of haymitch, but not telling him because he's not forgotten what he's done. the way haymitch saw how proud burdock was of katniss. the way his best friend died after haymitch himself pushed him away. the way he saw young katniss step into his role of providing for her family. the way haymitch had to take care of burdock's daughter. the way he saw himself, burdock, lenore and louella in her. the way he let her in his heart anyway. the way 'sweetheart' slipped out. the way through katniss, he's finally fulfilled his promise to lenore.

right now i'm almost finishing 'the raven king' by maggie stiefwater and i've been reading this book since september because i really don't want to say goodbye to this story T_T

i really love all the characters (RONAN LYNCH MY BELOVED SON) and i want to stay with them for as long as i can. i know i can always reread these series, but it won't be the same as the first time

also i've started 'sunrise of the reaping' by suzanne collins and i'm really curious about the whole story! i want to finish this already and go watch a review by the book leo lol

The raven's cycling.

I... I have no explanation for this. I have a train to catch in a few hours, and that's where my mind goes apparently.

The gangsey is funny af honestly, I could do hundreds of those.

The heavy world's upon your shoulders, will we burn on or just smolder? Somehow, I know I'll find you there. Oh, you wanna see if you can change it (change it), still, I know I'll see you there.

↑ I put this verse but they all work, somehow (i wanted to do an even longer drawing at the beginning, sheesh).

Linking music with content is my absolute favorite thing to do. I did it with aftg, and also for trc with this post (muse!!) and obviously the animatic, which happens to have turned 1 year old very recently (happy birthday).

Anyway, I'll do a trc reread soon, last time was two years ago (!!), i've read extracts since but it won't do for much longer.

the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.

We as a fandom moved way too fast past this:

And this:

appreciation of death note's official art: gothic influence, biblical / religious imagery, intricate backgrounds, abstract but thoughtful compositions, influence of vkei, gothic lolita and other alternative fashions, dramatic - reminds me of classical baroque paintings, death imagery (obviously).

for a story centered around abstract mental battles, it was remarkable how the artist anchored it in a tangible, recognizable aesthetic, giving it a sense of materiality
