at some point in my dream i was in the backseat of a car and i don’t know who the other two people were but felicia day was in the front passenger’s seat and it didn’t really occur to me who she was and i made a casual dr horrible reference. she turned around and looked at me and we both just kind of dramatically laughed and then went back to driving.

idk man idk

y'all this just happened to me again 9 years later. this time Dr Horrible showed up at a party and threatened us, Captain Hammer came to save us, and then winked at my friend Felicia Day. And I said "haha it's a reference to the fact you're Felicia D- hey wait I know you"

so not only is my subconscious still buried in Dr Horrible like it's 2009, but it really really wants to be friends with Felicia Day. A woman I spend 0% of my actual day thinking about.

#what makes Felicia Day the every woman of my dreams

Hunger Games didn’t really eat holes in my brain the way that it did for some other people but god the opening lines. The opening lines. Katniss wakes up in bed and immediately, instinctively reaches beside her, only to find the bed empty and cold. Before we even know her name – before we know literally anything about her or this world or her place in that world – we know that she loves someone. We know that she is reaching for where Prim should be, sleeping safe and warm beside her, but Prim is not there. She is not there, and her half of the bed is cold and empty. People talk about characters being “doomed by the narrative” when most of the time the character was literally just a well-foreshadowed death, but Prim WAS doomed by the narrative. It’s the very first thing we learned. It’s the most key, integral, important piece of information we’re given about everything that is about to happen: Every single choice Katniss makes is to protect her little sister, and it isn’t enough. In the end, Prim still dies. Prim was dead before the story even started. Katniss, reaching. Prim’s side of the bed was cold and empty. There is no version of this story where Prim could have been saved. Katniss, reaching. The very first thing she does in the series. She wakes, and she reaches, but Prim is already gone. THAT is how you do Doomed By The Narrative. Edit: Also it is key that there was literally nothing Katniss could have done differently. If she had not acted to save Prim, Prim would not have survived the Hunger Games. But by acting to save Prim, Katniss accidentally kicked off an entire rebellion and ultimately massively increased the amount of danger Prim was actually in. The key is that this is irrelevant. If Katniss had done literally anything differently, Prim still would have died. If Katniss had faltered or changed course at any point, Prim still would have died. There was never a point where Katniss could have changed Prim’s fate. There’s no version of this story where Prim lives to see the end of it. She’s dead before the story begins. That’s doomed by the narrative.
