I’m just saying, there’s a a clear pattern in Julian choosing only student’s with parental issues as his students…

“studying like henry winter” right so flunking and skipping the sats on purpose and dropping out and doing nothing else but reading for pleasure and generally being a lackluster student

“they killed bunny bc he was annoying” “they killed bunny bc he was sexist and homophobic” “they killed bunny-“ they killed bunny because he deadass wasn’t breaking his back to try and fit in with the others and their weird cultish aesthetic.

its like that scene in mean girls where regina sits down and karen + gretchen are like “you can’t sit with us because you’re wearing sweatpants, its monday” (or whatever day) “so thats against the rules and you can’t sit with us”

bunny was actually liked by the vast majority of people at hampden and the greek class didn’t like that, because it didn’t fit into their whole “aesthetic”.

bunny had a girlfriend that did an education degree and he was very public about it, and the greek class didn’t like that, because it didn’t fit into their whole “aesthetic”.

bunny ate a grilled cheese and milkshake, and the greek class didn’t like this. not because he was being greedy, but because it didn’t fit into their whole aesthetic.

why do you think richard got turned away when he first showed up to julian’s class? because he didn’t fit into the aesthetic.

i love the greek class as much as the next guy, but please. come on guys. lets just…open our eyes here.

Sorry but the Haymitch's dynamic with his final two tributes. will never not fuck me up.

Katniss: He hates hates hates her for being the same as him. He can communicate with her because she is the same as him. He's her mentor, of course he cares about her. He should be a father figure to her but he's too stunted by his own trauma so they exist like teenage allies in the never-ending arena which is a victor's life. He wants to keep her safe but she must also be a pawn in the rebellion. She makes him make promises he cannot keep. She is all that he could have been and he is all that she might be.

Peeta: The sacrificial lamb. The one Haymitch knows he can't keep. The boy who is better than the rest but must be condemned to die time and time again. Who demands that Haymitch saves Katniss, as Katniss demands that he saves Peeta, but Haymitch could not save Maysilee, or his family, or his girl. Everyone Haymitch has ever lost compressed into a single body and placed beside Katniss, so he is forced to look at her as his mirror.

I think the most radical thing the hunger games does is tell young people that the most revolutionary thing you can do is have unconditional love for humanity. Katniss throughout the entire series is guided by a deep sense of compassion for the people around her. It is what causes her to volunteer, to bury rue, to mercy kill cato, its why she tries to save peeta, why finnick telling her to remember who the real enemy is works, and even though her compassion for the larger world falters when peeta is kidnapped, it comes back when she visits hospitals and asks for mercy for other victors and ultimately, it is love and belief in a better humanity that makes her kill coin. Through it all, she maintains an unfaltering belief in the fundemental goodness of humanity, which is diametrically opposed to dr gaul's and snow's worldview. Peeta is even more unwaveringly compassionate

So the series tells young people that the most revolutionary thing you can be is compassionate. Let compassion drive your politics. Let yourself believe in the fundemental goodness of people. And i think that's deeply important in a world that touts the superiority of pure reason or logic, to allow yourself to be guided by something as emotional as compassion. Katniss everdeen tells us that your politics should be rooted in compassion in a world that thinks detatchment or cynicism is intelligence and i think thats v cool

Book recommendation time! If you liked: Percy Jackson, Hunger Games or Divergent, you’ll like therapy.
