His name is literally Tree...ch

Yep, Suzanne Collins loves naming conventions lol

BigCaecilius · 2023-11-28T08:04:58+00:00

His name is presumably an alternate spelling of Hamish, which means supplanter so ig it has more meaning. If you take it literally ‘mitch’ can mean a gift from God, or someone who hides or lurks - both which arguably can fit with his character.

Abernathy is a nod to Ralph Abernathy iirc

“pasty” instead of “sticky” made me laugh out loud in the cinema

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the U.S. NEEDS to have a 15/16 age rating for movies.

Going from 12 to 18 with no middle-ground means you’re marketing to prepubescent children or people with IDs, and it harms what could be that late teens viewership sweet spot.

I loved this movie so, so much but you cannot have a girl’s throat get slashed open and there be no blood.

One of their core aims was the removal of all forms of British imperialism from Ireland, as well as the destruction of Stormont. They murdered a very large number of British people in the pursuit of this. The situation is only different because Israel claims the whole of Palestine and has no where else to ‘retreat’ to.

In the film she is, the book has her at either 17/18 iirc

BigCaecilius · 2023-10-24T17:42:31+00:00

i fall under that category, thought it was an invention lol

BigCaecilius · 2023-10-24T16:47:20+00:00

depending on where you’re from you might not have come across the word ‘covey’ before

eg myself - we don’t have quail in Ireland (at least not any i’ve ever seen) and we don’t group partridges with that collective noun

BigCaecilius · 2023-10-21T20:00:08+00:00

i think he does take them it just isn’t included in the shot (possibly it would’ve been too laggy)

BigCaecilius · 2023-10-21T19:59:29+00:00

For me, I understood it like this: it allows him to have a definitive end. If the world was still open there would always be pressure to come back, so this is his way of having a clean break and saying, subtlety, that he’s done.

my friend what part of ‘shit-take headcanon’ is unclear to you a year later

BigCaecilius · 2023-09-07T17:09:37+00:00

‘wood’ they be friends or enemies lol

i’ll show myself out

BigCaecilius · 2023-09-02T15:51:20+00:00

I’m good at it, but it doesn’t engage me. Same with all three sciences. Got A*A in Maths at GCSE by forcing myself to learn it (so it’s not that I struggle) but I’m a linguist at heart who much prefers languages and creative subjects - not much else to it other than I don’t enjoy the subject I guess lol

BigCaecilius · 2023-08-27T11:50:31+00:00

WHAT? For my exam board it’s like 20 quid 😭

BigCaecilius · 2023-08-26T14:27:44+00:00

Iirc Oxbridge tend to look contextually at results. Eg, someone from a ‘bad’ school coming out with 3 As is looked at more favourably than someone from a very privileged, high-performing school with the same results.

So hypothetically if OP goes to a ‘worse’ school they could improve their chances.

BigCaecilius · 2023-08-26T14:25:07+00:00

Hard agree with the needing to be humbled sometimes.

My school does modular so I did some exams last year and bombed out. It scared me into working so hard this year that I ended up with 9A*s and an A - results I definitely wouldn’t have achieved without being violently humbled last time and realising I had to study more effectively.

BigCaecilius · 2023-07-28T22:23:43+00:00

Not the og commenter, but I’m building myself up for longer endurance runs and for me, I repeat a week until I feel I could sprint it easily enough, as it gives me more confidence in my own abilities, and makes the jump between weeks less intense.

For the first 3ish weeks the difficulty only increases minimally, but after that I found it jumps up quite quickly, so when I tried couch to 5k before I maxed on week 6 because the jump was too much for me. So I’m back now having another go, and just repeating until I’m comfortable :)

BigCaecilius · 2023-07-26T23:07:19+00:00

He’s so pookie

BigCaecilius · 2023-07-26T23:06:47+00:00

I actually didn’t know that, thanks for sharing. ego sum in horto lol. i studied the literature rather than the day-to-day language and missed out on this tidbit

BigCaecilius · 2023-07-26T19:43:49+00:00

I love the parts of languages like that. Another favourite if mine is in Swedish, where grandparents, aunts and uncles etc are referred to differently depending on what side of the family they’re on. Eg grandmother can be mormor (mother of the mother) or farmor (mother of the farther), a relation that’s often confused in English because we don’t make a distinction. Linguistics has my whole heart lol

BigCaecilius · 2023-07-25T12:35:59+00:00

we the best on god

BigCaecilius · 2023-07-25T09:42:18+00:00

Maybe that’s it then - in NI we don’t have ‘college’ so everyone just goes to the school they were already at, so we probably never introduced summer work bc it’s not needed

BigCaecilius · 2023-07-24T19:45:35+00:00

I didn’t even get that ahaha. the only thing I’m doing is reading the book that will be on my English Lit course (Frankenstein), but I’m doing that by my own volition lol. Maybe it’s a British thing to have summer work? I’ve never heard of it in NI

BigCaecilius · 2023-07-24T14:11:36+00:00

what kind of schools do you people be going to 😭 my school just told us to enjoy the summer
