total eclipse of the heart

Maybe even whispering to him that he's not a burden when she knows he might feel that way. Or perhaps she always kept her distance, but it's hard to imagine that 20 something years didn't lead to at least one night of her taking care of him, even if out of pity or the need for him to get it together for his tributes. Haymitch tried to hug her during the reaping, for Christ's sake. Sure, he was drunk, but if he hated her or was truly annoyed with her, I can't imagine he'd want to touch her at all.

the only person who keeps an eye on me is effie trinket.

think of effie, trying to hide within the shadows once haymitch won, not seeking credit nor attention for her part, but always within distance of his cage, always within a watchful eye in case anything goes wrong and there's anything she can do.

think of effie, who saw the way and how much haymitch loved and lost, knowing full well her desire to care for him is limited only to their meetings during the games every year, as they lose and lose more children to the games.

think of effie, always thinking of haymitch, quietly hoping against the capitol's teachings, that one day haymitch will get better and be okay, and maybe even open himself up for love once again.

they tried to flood the popular tags with gore and porn. this was when Homestuck was at its peak, so they were a target too. (side note: tags barely functioned at all at this point so trying to make them useless was like throwing a molotov into an already burning building but try telling that to 4channers)

but the Homestuck fandom was ready and countered by flooding the tag with weirder, more explicit Homestuck porn and gore.

to the point that the trolls themselves got weirded out, fucked off, and never attempted a “raid” again.

I remember going on omegle and asking people from 4chan who to "target" so I could message those tumblr users and make sure they were okay.

But then tumblr users would pretend to be 4chan users and give their own blogs as targets, with the goal of keeping 4chan users from targeting people who were more vulnerable.

So most of the time when I'd message someone like "Hey you're being targeted. You okay?" They'd be like "Yeah lol that was me that you talked to on Omegle."
