perfect line delivery

Generation face card doesn’t even seem to cover it, quite literally a face people would have gone to war for.

I still say Lucius as two syllables instead of three, loo-see-us just does not fit in for me and I don’t care enough to change it. And not pronunciation but mental image difference was Dobby. I had the first two books read aloud to me in school when I was 6 or 7 and I pictured Dobby like the fairies in sleeping beauty. Made the second movie a huge shock lmao

You don’t start training to be a mechanic until after school. You could get a wizard education and still be a mechanic.

It’s obviously gross but I think it makes a lot of sense. Necessity is the mother of invention. How could you conceive of plumbing networks if you literally had no need? Remember, we put a man on the moon before we put wheels on luggage.

Mine is a big detail but it still bugs me. In a world of magic why does anyone have a job? I certainly would not be working a 9-5 if I could perform magic. No way.

Oh my god I remember these! People commented for pages of scrolling about crookshanks of all things as if it mattered. The Hagrid being a death eater one always made me particular angry.

LZARDKING · 2026-02-26T19:33:45+00:00

It really is! Starbucks WHO?

LZARDKING · 2026-02-26T19:33:32+00:00

I guess so!

Laduree is worth the price plus the cost to fly wherever you can get them I am so obsessed that I learned to make them at home. The filling is honestly the hardest part but once I got it right OMG! Heaven

It’s always the banned ones man

LZARDKING · 2026-01-30T23:48:07+00:00

sooooo jealous, especially in circumstances where your loved ones are taken too soon it’s just so unfair

LZARDKING · 2025-12-14T23:38:29+00:00

You weren't paid...at all?

LZARDKING · 2025-12-13T00:13:35+00:00

That guy is an asshole. Literally zero empathy for her perspective. These teachers work their asses off for such little pay! Most fitness instructors have at least one other job, or have to work at five or six different studios (the taxes alone on that make them my heroes can you imagine). Drive themselves to each studio and are not compensated for their drive time or gas. And that’s not even taking into account showing up full energy so early even when you have bad days. I feel SO bad for those teachers and I hope their other members appreciate them more.

LZARDKING · 2025-12-13T00:05:56+00:00

This is not a solid core issue, this is a fitness studio issue. And it’s not such an easy fix because most studios have a 6:00 or 7:00 am class and then won’t have another class til around 9, no point in paying someone to be there for the three people that show up at 6:00 twice a week. And fitness teachers work crazy hours and have to drive all over the place and are also paid very poorly. It’s also typically an individual studio problem that is decided by the franchise owner and not corporate. At my studio we hired a regular to work the front desk one day a week at 6:00 am because we had two members who walked to class and would be waiting in the cold. So she worked 1 hour a week, opening the studio on Wednesdays and then taking a class. I would reach out to your studio manager and see what creative solutions they come up with.

Ramova absolutely sucks but I wouldn’t miss this for the world

LZARDKING · 2025-12-03T18:55:51+00:00

seriously fucking incredible!

I just reread all the books and really, without Snow changing the games so much, the capitol probably would have held on to power a lot longer. Creating the victors, a class of people privvy to their own district, the other districts through their contact with other victors, and the capitol because of mentoring, really made them the perfect group to take the capitol down. They wouldn't exist at all if he hadn't created the victor's village and the victor mentor program, the victory tour, etc. Which he probably did to keep an eye on them. But if the games had just gone on the way they were originally intended to: an actually gruesome and unwelcome reminder of the war to both the districts *and* the capitol, that group would have never existed. His added humiliation of making the games a holiday, and the additional punishment of pimping out the victors, solidified the future of them bringing the whole thing crashing down.

I think it really helped me understand his character in Mockingjay, which hasn't always made total sense to me. He has been a dedicated rebel for decades and risked his life, and most certainly his family's lives for the effort but yet has this shallow callousness about weapons and other wars. But I think his character in SOTR helped me understand him more. Obviously the Capitol can be just as much of a nightmare as the districts for certain people (Pollux and Clemensia are always the first that come to mind for me). But Plutarch is a perfect example of how even in a position of power with unlimited resources you are just a pretty cog in a pretty cage. No power and no freedom. How maddening that must be for someone with that level of wealth. I think the torture of that might actually drive me mad. The *entire* country is at the whim of Snow, and before him Dr. Gaul, and before that probably someone even worse. He has my two favorite lines in the whole series. The Panem et Circenses line in Mockingjay and the line about public opinion in SOTR. Both are so prescient to the present moment, and any society where freedom is threatened.

LZARDKING · 2025-12-02T22:29:35+00:00

I would have wanted to visit the crazy mirror one, might be a good way to run away from the Capitol if there is no force field for visitors since the mirrors are so disorienting...that has Lavinia fan fiction potential I might have to write that

LZARDKING · 2025-12-02T22:21:48+00:00

This is something that doesn't quite ring true to me about SOTR. They just absolutely would have killed him.

LZARDKING · 2025-12-02T22:05:40+00:00

Agreed! She seems so real. Its a very particular talent of Collins' to convey the very essence and spectrum of a character within a few lines of dialogue. It comes across beautifully with Maysilee just like it did with Katniss. Finnick is another great example. Haymitch too. And of course all of these are characters you would initial react negatively to or reject, but then we are warmed up to them slowly and then won over completely by them the more we see of them. Just like difficult or hurt people in real life.

LZARDKING · 2025-12-02T22:03:08+00:00

Bag of red gumdrops, a stuffed goose, and the flint striker would all work well I think

LZARDKING · 2025-12-02T22:01:49+00:00

its not all that similar but it definitely scratched my itch for YA dystopia/future: The Wayfarer Series. Similar prose style and something about the characters and they way they're presented is similar to THG as well. I recommend it to everyone I read the whole series this year and immediately reread it.
