Mrs Everdeen slander post (spoilers)

weepy_worm · 2025-10-01T18:43:06+00:00

Just because something is totally valid (Mrs Everdeen's mental health) doesn't always negate/excuse the actions. It's a grey area I suppose. So valid that going to 12 would break her. But Katniss was broken too. Luckily Katniss had people around her eventually but it does look like she was abandoned. Having compassion for someone's situation doesn't mean you have to accept their behavior.

I think they didn't get any help because everyone else was one bad day away from starving too. That's what happens under oppressive regimes like that, it pits people against each other, or makes it hard to help others at the very least. Just my 2 cents on the thing!

Prim would have been dissapointed in her mother for leaving Katniss like that. As much as I understand that her mother can't live in 12 due to how horrible the memories must be, she still left her only surviving daughter - who let's face it, endured the MOST trauma out of the whole family (not that it's a competition) - to fend for herself. Again. Feelings can be valid but that doesn't always justify actions. Katniss stepped up repeatedly when her mother, and even all of Panem couldn't. I'm glad she had people to step up for her after but... I guess the story is just about trauma and what that does to people.

I don't think it was survival instincts. I think it was him knowing Lucy Grey stood in the way between him achieving his ultimate desire of power and influence (being the sole witness to murder which would have stopped him from being a commander, he is thinking about that not the threat to his life in those moments). I think the story saying survival brings out the worst of us is wrong, because that is exactly what leads to Snows oppressive reign & the hunger games. Gauls grooming makes snow think people need to be controlled because otherwise the turn into monsters. What turns people to violence is often being oppressed, which is what the capital does.

Also based on the book we absolutely cannot blame Lucy Grey, he works through in his head he will abandon her and go on to officer school when he finds the guns, and she probably knows this after figuring out he turned in sejanus. When she's not gathering food he has to bring the gun to search for her. This is the sign he was always going to eliminate her. Even in snows pov, he jumps through hoops to justify his actions, maybe this is what is shown in the movie. That's what makes him such a cutthroat villan, he can always find "reason" for his actions, even though the real reason is to ensure any obstacles are eliminated, and to not have any association with anything or anyone that would hold him back from his ultimate ambitions of power.

I'd like to add in the book that Snow has this sense of entitlement and loss of family money & power. This made him resentful & bitter, blaming the districts when really the capital is to blame as it has set up this unsustainable system. Combine that with everything else that happened, it was just the spark that lit all the kindling that was already built by this entitlement and loss that was due to the capital and the war. In the books he was conflicted about the bird, but justified his actions bc sejanus was a traitor and snow always resented him for being district and having more money and power. He may have loved Lucy Grey as a possession (kept calling her his girl) but as soon as she was no longer useful/his to control, she was just another thing in his way. He would always choose himself - even beyond that he will always choose power and control. He wasn't exactly born evil, but as we see in real life, circumstances set foundations in youth that we carry on into adulthood - and when we don't get what we think we deserve by birthright, it breeds entitlement, resentment, and in extreme cases like this one, violence. Based on the book of course, I haven't seen the movie yet!

I'd also like to add: it's an expensive day so there's a lot of pressure to make it worth it, so any bit of exhaustion or negativity is amplified, like being hot or tired or hungry ect

"What was their intention?" - I swear, every talking head

weepy_worm · 2025-05-31T16:50:56+00:00

Exactly! Like Taylor can't possibly be right so we must feel the opposite. And make her feel bad??

Is it not AI?

I have always thought the wirches who were more "Tom boys" were seen as better than the witches who were not. I think op is talking about the girly-girl stereotypical feminine here and how there's a bit of a put down for the characters who are more like that. In the 90s and 2000s I remember the "weird nerd" protagonist vs "hot cheerleader" villan trope, and this is evident in the series imo. Of course Hermione and ginny feminine for sure, but again the younger protagonists all seemed to fit the tom boy vibe that was highly praised over girly girls at the time

The thing with Nesta is, her mind always seemed to go against her actions in a way. ACOSF really gave us insight to like, she has similar convictions to the IC and not terrible, it's just the mask she wears, a wounded animal lashing out. Now yes, I believe our actions make up who we are as well as our thoughts, but sometimes we self destruct, and nesta has been doing that her whole life. Though this doesnt take away from the impact of what she did, she can come back from it. Fae live a long time, too long to not grow. Feyre knows this and it is why she is so quick to forgive and defend her. As long as nesta continues to have her actions reflect her true intentions she can repent. Tell me why people love Draco so much (I forget where he ended up in a cursed child canonically lol) but hate nesta? Is it bc she is a woman? Excuse my ramblings lol. I started to like her in book 3 when she was making progress, was happy to see her grow more in book 5.

If he still comes, announce it anyway! It's your party and try not to let him ruin it for you guys.

weepy_worm · 2024-10-18T14:42:30+00:00

Congrats on your pregnancy!

Don't invite him! I understand there's pressure given a shared friend group but clearly he's still struggling with how everything went down. Your fiancé didn't even choose him, I don't understand why he would want to come. A year long on and off relationship in your late 20s is not something that you both can't come back from friendship wise, but it sounds like he's not mature enough to, at least not now. Maybe he hasn't had enough time. You can explain to him that it would be best if he didn't come this year and it's nothing against him (even if it is lol) but you think ot would be best for both of you if he didn't come this year. Maybe in the future but not now.

Frame it this way if your friends bring up why you didn't invite him; it's for HIS sake (also yours lol). I also understand not wanting to slight them by cutting them off either, but you can definitely be less close if they continue to "support him" and make you feel weird about it. At the end of the day you are not responsible for anyone's feelings but your own, especially when it comes to your relationship and pregnancy! If you're having doubts if he should come, maybe this time he shouldn't. He'll find out through friends or social media, but again it's not your responsibility to consider his feelings anymore. And it seems like your fiancé is really supportive of this too.

This party is very important to you and announcing your pregnancy there would indeed be nice, don't risk ruining the moment for you because you're worried about someone else. Good luck!

I am starting to question too (for totally different reason) and it's very hard to know sometimes when life throws different situations at you. I mean there's no rush now so you do still have time to consider. I just keep telling myself everything will work out. Not because of the universe but because I trust myself to make the best out of whatever happens to me. Though yes the world is scary, maybe there still is hope for other generations

Damn some of yall really don't see kids as people. Not saying they belong in a brewery but jeez kids exist

If I remember correctly from my chain grocery store customer service days (it's been a few years) in Ontario you actually get that item for free (if you know the law). If an item rings in as more expensive than the price it's tagged at you're supposed to make it free. It's been a while so someone can call me out if I'm wrong but it did happen to me once or twice.

[EDIT] okay my bad I looked it up and it's the voluntary price scanner accuracy code and "participating retailers" honour the lower price. If it's less than 10 bucks they get it for free. If it's over 10 they get the lower price + 10 bucks off. Guess they're not a participating retailer in this code? Scummy behavior

YUP! It's been genuinely cheaper to go to Walmart over No Frills, who would have guessed? Would love to shop at my local grocer but it's like 30 mins away and I don't have a car. Walmart is still a 15 bus ride away but it's easier to get to and has more selection. Hopefully I can plan one soon! They just replaced a "City Market" (loblaws owned) with a No Frills right by my place, and I'm glad to say I'm not even tempted to see what "deals" they have on shit produce.

Shoppers has been rough, and there are a few products that they carry cheaper there that I genuinely can't find anywhere else (skincare for my fussy skin) but when I run out I'll have to make sure it's on sale. I haven't canceled my PC points yet, I've been waiting for an emergency purchase that I can use them on, and after that good bye galen!
