We have read the Demeter's situation as a horror movie, as an exhausting job that drains the crew, and as an inexplicable travel that should have been normal if it wasn't for Dracula going through the crew like snacks.

But there is one thing that I ask myself: Dracula is a noble, a wealthy man in a position of power, and the Demeter crew are working class people who just wants to do their as good as possible so they can get paid at the end of the day.

Could Dracula's attacks relate to class, and explotation of the poor at the hands of the rich?

Since it seems that our resident vampire is very confident in his non-existent ability to direct a cargo ship with all of his coffins by himself. Dracula is going through the Demeter crew like they are expendable, and they are to him! Just human blood bags that are discharged the second they finish their "unskilled labor" because how difficult it would be to steer a boat of wood?

Nevermind that Dracula has been living in seclusion for god know how long, and this is probably the first time in centuries he puts a foot on a boat.

The Demeter crew have been "serving" a wealthy person part of the noble class that they are never going to see. A boss squeezing every single drop of their labor for his benefit while putting them in subhuman conditions in which none of them can work properly. Dracula doesn't see nor care that is thanks to these sailors he is so close to England.

On top of that, in their job the Demeter crew have probably seen many of their coworkers die in their travels, only for them to end up as a statistic at the eyes of their employers.

The only people who will mourn the Demeter crew are their families, and they will not see a single coin of compensation for the labor that killed the crew.

Airports keep inventing ways to remind you that you dont matter because you didn't shell out a lot of money for your ticket.

I think Finnick's death is really beautiful and hard hitting when you look at the overall themes of the books.

Katniss' whole team was pointless in the final stand of the war. She'd been propped up as this necessary chess piece and used and manipulated by every single authority over her, but the chosen-one trope is only real in tales and myths. In real life, it's collective effort that wins wars and changes the world for the better. Katniss was such an important part of that, but it was what she inspired everyone else to do as a whole that actually freed Panem.

Snow was captured bc of the rebellion and the work from D13, not bc the main character found or defeated him. Katniss' efforts in the capitol during the invasion were all fruitless and empty. And that's the true tragedy of war, how many people have to suffer and die for nothing. How unworthy it all actually is in the end. Finnick's death perfectly encapsulates that, a pointless and unnecessary mission that causes the pointless and unnecessary death of a genuinely amazing and talented person who had so much life left to live. He had a baby to get home to. Suzanne Collins is an anti war queen who says so much, boldly and also w so much subtly, and I just can't stop thinking about the worlds she creates.

my issue with the photoshoot is how they've managed to make oscar look so stocky... the boy has one of the most beautiful figures on the grid, the dorito chest, his grabbable waist, voluptuous hips and ass, yet they've hidden everything!!! and the volume of clothes over his upper body gets even more exaggerated by putting him in skinny jeans, no balance at all... and the hair!! whose idea was to slick his hair all the way back, exposing his three kilometers of a forehead

imo a crime to make this handsome dude look all blocky and awkwardish

GENUINELY SOOOO INFURIATING TO ME. had they done the absolute Absolute bare minimum to not style a bulky ass jacket Over a hoodie. Crying he looks Just so awkward. if they'd brought One Pair of actual pants to the shoot. and didn't just let him rock those terrible falling off the ass skinny jeans. PULL YOUR GOT DAMN PANTS UP.

What I would give to just see Oscar in a nice fitting shirt. some wide leg light wash jeans and clean sneakers. like am I asking for So Much. oh the skinny jeans and boots. god why. do they rly have that little perception of their own driver to not realize why the Bad Boy vibe just flops So So SO badly on Oscar. he needs to be boy next door or corporate crush! use his femininity and masculinity maybe? give him something that emphasizes his whole body and Not just his hips and Not Just his shoulders. head in my hands. so much. untapped potential.

lizard brain says yes I love gatekeeping Oscar. I love keeping his hotness a secret. but I also. Do Your Job Mclaren brain loathe seeing him just be an afterthought on these shoots bc he himself doesn't put thought into his clothes. ITS NOT HIS JOB TO. IT SHLD BE THE STYLISTS AHHHHagain. again.again. he rocks up to the paddock looking chopped. idc. that's my driver. but in an ad? in promo content? pleaseeeeeeeeuh.

and honestly too this isnt Just a hotness thing. i do Genuinely believe hed garner more serious respect if they made him look cool. objectively speaking. a fraction of kimi’s appeal was that he didnt look like a nerd. he looked badass. (and before someone gets smart. kimis outfits werent anything crazy. But. his editorials WERE GOOD! and his shit fit!). argue w the wall ur looks matter in this sport and if mcl were smart theyd give any attempt at winning over the “yeah i think oscars a great driver w a cool personality” ppl over with a half decent visual persona.

oscar can remain authentic and have jeans that fit him flatteringly

This one here! This is such a nice thematic to be explored. This can be applied to many situations in our society.
