Friendly reminder that Sejanus Plinth was not stupid! He was one of the top 24 students at the Academy. He was good at writing. He was good at science. He was good with a gun and had excellent aim.

Also, he can LIE. QUICKLY. He lies to Coriolanus about having money in Twelve and his plans to use it and Coriolanus only finds out because he goes through Sejanus’s stuff and takes apart his gradation certificate to find the money he’d hidden. Coriolanus even says his lie was “delivered as naturally as the truth.”

HE KNEW CORIOLANUS DIDN’T APROVE OF HIS PLANS! HE KNEW! He only told Coriolanus once he was manipulated into doing so. God forbid someone whose been ostracized his entire life want a friend. And from Sejanus’s POV, Snow hadn’t done much to prove his true motives, so of course Sejanus trusted him.

Friendly reminder that trusting people is not stupid! We are supposed to trust and love and act out of kindness! We are supposed to stand up for what we believe in!

I strongly dislike the characterization of Sejanus as dumb, impulsive, and destructively honest. Suzanne Collins put in WORK developing his character. He’s complex, like all people are. And he’s NOT STUPID, he’s just not a conniving, power-hungry weirdo like Coriolanus.

Friendly reminder that GOOD PEOPLE AREN’T INHERENTLY STUPID! NOT ALL CHARACTERS HAVE TO BE MORALLY GREY TO BE INTERESTING!

This week marked the 12th anniversary of The Hunger Games movie release.

What do you think about THG as a movie adapatation?

Do you think THG influence other movie (/book) in the genre? Yes/No? Why?

Is there any difference in your opinion about it between when you first saw the movie (/read the book) and now?

Thank you :)

@curiousthg

I actually LOVE the first THG movie … I almost feel like you get immersed into the Hunger Games with Katniss and none of the other films really give me that feeling.

But honestly, they’re not great adaptations. I still think they’re FANTASTIC movies— but god do I love the way Suzanne paints her worlds when she writes. It would be so difficult for a movie to capture any of her writing authentically in film TBH. If they ever do reboot THG franchise I’m begging them to make it a television show. I think it would be phenomenal as a tv show where they could flesh out the story better!

Oh I think THG totally revitalized the Dystopian genre in both lit & in film. We lived in a golden age of YA Dystopian film & literature for a hot second there. I honestly was hoping TBOSAS would bring it back … but so far that hasn’t happened. We’ll see!

Oh yeah! I mean I was a very young teen when the first movie came out (and obviously younger when the book came out.). There’s a lot of differences in how I watch/read this series. For example …. ⬇️

I loved Katniss. I was like “she’s the coolest character in the world she’s a badass blah blah” Like the little kid in CF that gives Katniss the flowers and says “I’m going to volunteer like you” or whatever?? That was me 😭 I loved Katniss.

Now I just am sad for her rereading as an adult. She’s just a kid. No kid should go through any of that— anything at all like that. It’s horrific to watch and read the things that she goes through.

I think it also comes with growing up while a character remains a teenager. Now I want to save her while back then I wanted to be her.

"I'm afraid we've both been played for fools" / "I expect it made us both sad" its SUCH A GOOD PARALLEL. It shows how narcissist Snow is, cause he never admits his lost. If he loses, he makes sure that others did as well.
