"Tech is pale to play on the nerd trope!" Why is the nerd trope a white man? Why *must* a character be pale, light skinned, or even white to be associated with that type of intelligence? Can nerds and super geniuses not also be brown?

i think one of my favorite parts of bad batch was when they sampled rescue of the princess from a new hope and played parts of it when gregor was being rescued off daro

Funny thing, I didn’t expect Maysilee to say she hated the mockingjay pin. Especially with how much the pin ends up meaning for the revolution, I thought it’d be more on the lines of “oh yeah I love it and left it home to keep it safe” or “oh yeah it’s my sister’s now.” But she didn’t care.

And that brings me to my point. The mockingjay was not THE symbol. It was just what happened to be around at that point in time. It wasn’t something that had universal meaning behind it until the revolution gave it meaning. At the end of the day, the symbol wasn’t even that important, especially on its own. Yes, it had the jabberjays and singing lore attached to it but I’m sure so many items meant similar things. It became important because of the meaning associated to it by the people.

does nobody remember this part of mj where haymitch and plutarch genuinely struggle to keep effie from being executed after the war because of the fact that she is so obviously not a rebel and didn’t aid in the revolution?

i’m not saying we know everything about her or that she’s a bad person or that she didn’t have rebellious thoughts/intentions with some of her actions, but she canonically doesn’t have ties to the rebels and they have to lie to keep her alive.

like yeah, she’s a victim of the propaganda of a totalitarian dictatorship. but that’s the point, i fear. she exemplifies someone who likely has the kindness to embrace change, but won’t bring it about of her own accord; she’s the archetype of the average citizen who witnesses firsthand the struggles brought on by a cruel system and still won’t do anything cos she isn’t encouraged to think critically.

again, this isn’t a personal attack on her, and i do find her an interesting character, but making her out to be more rebellious than she is for the sake of making her more likeable makes us as readers also stop thinking critically of her when she is quite literally a part of perpetuating the problem in her acquiescence.

obv this doesn’t include hcs/aus, but i’ve seen a lot of confusion surrounding fanon/canon lately and it’s making me feel like we didn’t read the same books after doing a recent reread of the og trilogy.

idk man there's just something about the capitol doing everything in their power to erase haymitch's humanity and love for his allies and crafting a purely selfish, callous image of him to send back to the districts only for him to still be greeted with support and care when he returns to district 12, even from louella's family. I don't know if I can even articulate it but yeah... the capitol tried but they couldn't erase the love and the community that already existed in the districts.

“Well, there’s no proof that will happen. You can’t count on things happening tomorrow just because they happened in the past. It’s faulty logic.”

How are we holding up? I’m still crying about Lenore Dove and the gumdrops

[enigmaticexplorer]

Man after sotr I have realized I reallyyyyy don’t like how the hunger games fandom discusses the topic of grief. The topic of haymitch and Lenore dove is leaving a very bad taste in my mouth, honestly.

It’s not a bad thing that he’s “hung up on” his first love- certainly not the term I would use but like. Grief is a never ending struggle . When someone you love dearly dies- you will grieve them until you die. It’s the last translation of love- the very last act of loving someone is to grieve them and you get to do that until you yourself pass. It’s not abnormal to hold on to the love you have for someone who left you too soon, it really does not matter that they were teenagers, he will always have love and grief for her. He will always be mourning her- even if he finds new love or not he will always be mourning her. And that is… an extremely accurate depiction of grief imo!

It’s not like. Grief is not a bad and ugly word that means you are feeling badly all the time that you grieve. Some times people don’t WANT to finish grieving,, some people hold their grief very close to their heart.

It's been 20 years since Revenge of the Sith was released, and yet people still confuse obsessive, toxic attachment for love.
