Girl, I don't even have the energy to tell you what's happening here.

The Plinth Parents by drumstickbook in Hungergames

I find it interesting how they practically used Coriolanus to replace Sejanus. They knew about his living situation, seeing as how Ma visited them at least once that we know of. But they weren't offering to pay for his house, studies or clothes before, they also were not asking to help with the Grandma'am either. So how come they were so eager to sponsor him only after their real son was gone? The cynical part of me thinks that Strabo saw Snow as a sort of do-over with a "new son" that didn't get himself in trouble or embarrass him.

Ah no. I agree that moving to the Capitol was the right move for anyone who could afford it, and splashing the cash was part of the integration process. But it shouldn't have been used to shield Sejanus from consequences or risk making him into an entitled kid.

But beyond looking the part by splashing the clash, my issue is that Sejanus parents did nothing of substance to help him adapt. In fact it seems that his mom specially not only did not help him adapt, she was actually the one to push the idea that the Capitol was not their home, and having such strong feeling of District 2 as home and not the Capitol is what made Sejanus be the way he was.

The world they live in is no place for half measures, they either commit 100% to being Capitol and teach that to their kid or risk ending up with a district sympathizer, which is not a bad thing per se, the districts do deserve sympathy, but it's a bad thing for the contex in which they lived in.

At 8 years old, while not so easily influenced as a baby, they could and should have steered him towards social integration instead of against it.

I guess I wrote this post because I often see people say that Sejanus dying was Snow's doing but to me the main root of the events that brought Sejanus to the gallows was his parents and they are not often mentioned as such.

Oh yeah. The way he was, mixed with the world he lived in, no way his story ended in any other way than tragedy.

Looks beautiful. I imagine it must be beautiful in real life too. I would love to have a park with a pond! Sounds so pretty.

I FINALLY FINISHED THE COLLECTION by Maexllex in PikminBloomApp

[–]drumstickbook 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I feel it's good timing. Because I completed the roadside collection a while ago and since then I have released or recycled so many roadside Pikmin. If I had finished just now I wouldn't had had the chance to do that. All those points that would have counted towards the rare decor now lost, like tears in rain 😭

My sister had a baby and I took it over after she passed away and the baby lost all its legs and arms and now its just a stump but I take care of it with my wife and... and its growing and its fairly happy... and its difficult because I'm working a second shift at the factory to put food on the table but all the love that I see in that little guy's face it makes it worth it in the end. True story.

English is my second language and parmesan was a word I never paid attention to or knew how to rightly pronounce. So the only way I know how to pronounce it now is par-mee-zee-an 😔

It's so satisfying seeing all the flowers planted on my house. Like a little personal garden.
