That fakeout kiss on Hunting Palismen was the biggest mistake the writers could've made if they wanted to push their lumity agenda. The crumbs made for taunting fans were already there:
•Neverar or whatever his name was, taller and with scars, just like Hunter
•Luz mentioning in S1 she wanted to fall for a hot her vulnerable upperclassman
•His very mysterious first appearance in S2 Ep1 planting the seeds for an enemies to lovers dinamic.
Also the fact that ALL the episodes that followed also planted plot seeds: S2 Ep2 lumity/Blight family, S2 Ep 3 King's backstory, S2 Ep 4 wittelore and S2 Ep 5 Gus's overpowered magic
And then, then Hunting Palismen aired. I bet Dana Terrance was like “I'm gonna reference the trailer but make sure lumity is developed so no one can ship them hehehe”
And my honest reaction after seeing the bad but sad boy under an abusive “caretaker” happily interacting, talking about the very topic he's supposed to eradicate, cooperate with, defend and lastly have a deadass shoujo-between-shonen moment to reveal his name to a depressed yet sunshine girl was:
Okay but, even though I dislike TTT for making the characters sit on their asses for months for no reason [like seriously, Im not sure why they're wasting time building a door without titan blood. Luz and Hunter both know a door will not work without titan blood.] It's the most entertaining episode of the season for me. When I first watched this episode I wasn't bored like i was with the other two episodes.
It's not just because of the Lunter bonding and Lunter hints - it's that they wrote the episode in such a way where it looks like Hunter is homewrecking Luz's and Amity's relationship. If you were to insert yourself into Amity's POV it looks like Hunter has a thing for Luz. And that is soooo funny to me.
like seriously,
Luz and Amity have been clinging to each other since they came to the human realm. The only time she isnt with Luz is when Luz is at school and this specific day TTT takes place on. This is one of the rare moments Amity isn't with Luz and she's going to be busy for many hours trying to figure out the mystery behind the rebus.
Amity inspires the others to venture into the human realm with her so they can figure out the mystery behind the rebus. Everyone is ready to go into town but Hunter needs to change his outfit because Amity thinks its cringe. So Hunter is like, okay, ill change and catch the next bus into town.
And then he never shows up
So it's like, hmmm, I wonder where Hunter could be on a day Amity isn't clinging to Luz and is going to be in town for many hours...
AND THEN - the next time anyone else sees him, he comes through the door with Luz lying about where they've been and what they've been doing. It's an obvious lie but no one questions it.
At the faire Amity tells everyone - including Hunter - that she wants to surprise Luz with the rebus after the carriage ride. However, after the "Wittebane Backstory" carriage ride is over Hunter and Luz completely disappear. Amity literally takes her eyes off of them for a moment and they vanish.
Then Gus says THIS as a response to Amity's worry: "Calm down. They probably just went to buy some more cars."
His dialogue here never fails to make me laugh because it sounds like Gus is covering for his bro 😭 and it's even funnier when you realize Gus just retold Hunters lie lksjdsldf
Anyways, right after Gus tells her to calm down, Amity notices the rebus is missing... She knows Luz wouldnt take it because she literally does not know it exists. HUNTER knows about the rebus though - AND he knows Amity wanted to surprise Luz with it. So its like... Why would he take it when he knows she wanted to surprise her girlfriend with it? He must have put two and two together during the carriage ride and knew the rebus was actually going to lead to titan blood [they were unsure if it was going to lead to titan blood initially].
But... that doesn't explain why he would take it... everyone was going to go get the titan blood together right after the ride. Perhaps... Hunter wanted to impress Luz by taking all the credit for uncovering the mystery behind the rebus even though he never showed up when they were looking for information about the rebus in town... That's so strange... why would he do that?
...You dont think he has a thing for Luz do you?
Let me remind you that no one else besides Luz and Hunter think Belos is still alive. Hunter didnt want anyone else to know because he doesnt want to scare them. So Hunter and Luz just VANISHING into thin air is very sus. And then the missing rebus makes their sudden disappearance even more sus because Hunter knows Amity wanted to surprise Luz with it. Also, nobody knows why Hunter stole the rebus from Amity - they NEVER get the answer to this mystery. Hunter - nor Luz - never tell them why he stole it. He never tells them he stole it because he thought Belos was alive. So, it is perfectly logical for them to assume Luz and Hunter DIDNT know Belos was alive UNTIL he intercepted them at the graveyard.
It's so fucking funny to me. It makes it extra funny because they wrote such juicy drama UNINTENTIONALLY. This is the perfect storm for Amity to know about Hunter knowing Luzs secret before she did. It also the perfect set-up for confrontation between Hunter and Amity.
Hey, so I've been searching endlessly for a hayffie fic on ao3, but it seems to elude me. If anyone can help me to find it, I'd be really grateful.
The premise was that the rebellion happened not on the third quarter quell, but at the second one. Five/six years later, the rebels won and made a final hunger games for the capitol children, and Haymitch ends up as Effie's mentor.
"Haymitch was furious. Dr. Trinket was a good man"
Snow's granddaughter, who I'm pretty sure was named Cassandra, was also in the games. Effie kills her with a mahogany branch.
After Effie wins, she goes to travel around with her father and then returns to Haymitch
"You did promised to take me on a date"
Then they settle down and have a daughter
It was published somewhere around 2015 and 2022, but I haven't been able to find it anywhere in ao3.
She should have done shit like this to Patricia a lot more
i am gonna punch the next person who talks shit about lin manuel miranda. that man has been nothing but kind to his fans and y'all still find new ways to shit on ppl who did nothing. "oh but he usese his work as self inserts" lol, wait till u find out about the german legend till schweiger. "he can't sing :/" im tired man. "he looks weird" ah so we bullying ppl for their appearance now? wonderful.
mans been working his ass off and y'all give him shit for nothing. i hate it here.
I stopped watching since Destruction, I think, but oh boy do I feel satisfied. Bitch had it coming since his first appearance, and he doesn't even has a permit? The fuck?!
Shot out to my therapist for gaslighting me into believing my emotions are valid. I think is working
Officially, I've lost track of time, space and OTPs, don't know how many pieces of my personality are dropped on the floor but please feed me chicken nuggets
But at the same time im not surprised since this is a mostly gringo social media
First of all: Context.
Well, we all know the movie Encanto, I, personally, didn't see it but I know enough to love it, it does represent Colombian and Latino culture as well. Even in the smallest details yk. That why a lot of latinos are very happy with this movie, bc, you see, when the only representation you get is ridiculized parts of something as important as your culture, a movie like encanto is... Well, a charm.
You see, Latinoamérica is a big ass continent, with lot of history and culture. We have every bit of variety. Latam is builded in what a lot of natives created. A lot of countries respet and hold their cultures onto their natives. Even the ones where they are repressed, and trashed, their presence still strong, our roots and traditions will always go back to them. Then we have the African presence, Latam was the most big port of Enslaved Africans of the world, African culture has its presence on its own too. (Brasil is the country with most police brutality against black people on the world. But none of you will ever know that bc nobody cares about a third world country) European culture too, because of a lot of immigration, as well as Asian culture.
And YES a lot of us come from the pain of our ancestors. From the rape of colonizers, from the pain of immigration and starvation and shame, from the genocides and death.
But we carry that with us. With pride, bc we're here because of their strength. Latam is such a varied place, thanks to all of them. We have a bit of everywhere. And that's something to be PROUD.
We all are from different colours, we all have different traits, different ways of manifesting our beliefs, and tbh. Nobody could give more of a shit of that than us.
Ooh but there's somebody. And that's all the assholes who think they can talk for us. Offend themselves for us.
Listen: We do not care if someone drew a character of Encanto a light more white than it is. All our countries are headed to ruin WHY WE WOULD CARE.
Is not such a problem to us, so WHY do yall get offended anyways??
Yall not only want to apropiate our culture and traditions but our problems too?
Look. Encanto is OURS. It represents our shared pain, our generational trauma and also the comfort of our family and home. Yall dont get to decide whether you hate a character or not, because yall don't understand that character like we do.
We cannot have NOTHING i swear. Bc you made a problem of it.
And its not the first time either.
Yall canceled a mexican rat bc it didn't fulfill your own image of a Mexican. While mexican little kids where DELIGHTED to see a part of themselves on tv.
I mean. Yeah, a lot of those characters are based on the most "prominents" aspects of our culture. That doesn't mean its bad???
In the Latinoamerican Spanish version of Sing there's an Argentinian rat. Who is greedy, annoying and sings Tango. AND I LOVE IT. And i know I'm not the only one bc... WHEN do I see anything that represents Argentina that doesn't have to do with our horrible economic crisis? And its A RAT WHO SINGS TANGO AND PLAY THE SAXOPHONE. UN TIPAZO.
What I want to say with this is; Yall dont get to say a WORD about us. You live in a first world country. With a privilege you can't deny even if you wanted.
Istg yall have this problem where you can't get your noses off of other minorities bussines.
And the worst of this is that you get to be the victim??
And calls us racist bc we discriminate your PRIVILEGE
When USA was in war against Mexico, the soldiers, who wore green, used to be everywhere, and some Mexicans used to tell them to get out, on a hardly pronounced english "Green, go" Which derivated to "Gringo"
Is our way to kick you all out. Yeah, some people use the term affectionately, while others used it as a way to rechaze the term "american" As if having it on your country name where enough reason to call yourself after a whole continent. And take us with you when others continents mock you.
Gringo can't be a slur. Gringo is part of our history, is part of the damage yall have done to us. Endlessly.
Victimize yourself if you must. Forget all the shit your centric county has trow to all of us. But we wont forget.
Yall can hide on your social justice hashtags all you want. We know the kind of shit you are.
En fin
On a lighter note: Isn't beautiful and a bit funny the fact we are ALWAYS fighting for something; Territory, culture, food, war, inmigration, politics, traditions. That Arepa is Venezuelan, not colombia, that Messi is better than Pele, than Gardel is Paraguayan not Argentinian (mentira) that September is Chile's not mexico's, that Bolivia and its sea.
But we unite only to support each others on our emergencies and to fight Gringos. Is beautiful, really. Lets never change.
Edit: I realize now that is very important to clear the Latinx Thing; This post is not abt it, some latinos dislike it while others don't, I don't really mind it, I guess the problem resides that is originated on USA, bc on Latam we have the "Latines" variation, but idk, I put the memes there bc they where the only ones I could find abt the whole situation xd
AO3 always has great quotes to offer. Unfortunately I forgot the story's name
DEATH
FERRETS!!!!!!
Thank god Hermione didn't kill herself after hearing that people ship that abusive toxic trash with her.
