kinda insane how Suzanne Collins understood so thoroughly that history never fails to repeat itself and managed to create a whole universe as an allegorical way of perpetuating the ideal that similar characters always rise and fall, the same ideals combat against familiar enemies
history isn’t a progression, it’s a horoscope, with rising and falling figures in positions of power, human beings being human beings and making and repeating their mistakes, you can almost make predilections about future events considering that human nature remains—
the same despite how many times the books are written and history is set in stone, she understood that instead of a linear progression, it’s simply always history coalescing to reproduce the same story while mingling with developing compounds as we progress, OUHHHH ITS TOO GOOD!!
to be completely honest, I am SO GLAD that they made his actor attractive, the book was supposed to make you sympathize with Snow to some degree that you could understand how he became the person he did, not to JUSTIFY BTW but to really see the human that lurks behind the —
atrocities he committed. Suzanne Collins was a genius at reflecting and mirroring reality to extremist scales and he’s a perfect example of how we sympathize with our villains no matter how horrific and vile once we get a glimpse of their humanity, it makes for more interesting —

this is exactly my point, using dubcon fiction as a coping mechanism or certain tropes to deal with trauma is something I WOULD NEVER JUDGE, only issue with this whole drama is when people openly say it is RAPE and then glorify him in the same sentence while acknowledging this^^
it's one thing to enjoy the books in private but to say it's 'omg it is SA and I'm aware and idrc!' online is fucking insane, like, knowing full well while choosing to sexualize it in the same breath publicly is something entirely different than what others have been-
-doing since the books and other similar media have come out :/ no judgement towards belle or anyone who enjoyed the books for reasons as I've stated above, my problem is when people start saying things like this honestly
I think we seriously need to reevaluate this whole 'it's just fiction' bullshit, fiction is ALWAYS an extension of reality, and in taking this into account we understand that as an extension of reality it can be circulated back to INFLUENCE reality.
they ban books for political reasons FOR reasons, books and literature and all sorts of media aren't just used for media consumption and entertainment, they can also be allegorical, with ulterior intentions conveyed and weaved between the words cast onto pages in ink and paper
messages are conveyed in almost any form of media whether you like it or not, there is an intention to be found, it's never JUST 'fiction', yeah I get it, it's not that deep or 'not that serious', but not everyone thinks of it that way, and on a macro scale, we need to think of
no one can EVER ruin my affection for 'soft' characters, the one's with a quiet sort of resolve, the sensitive ones who, despite the horror and hurt they've endured, never fail to show up the next day with a smile to encourage their friends, the backbones of any character cast!!!
just those sweet characters that make you wanna SQUISH THEM bc they're such sweethearts yet truly a have sort of unflinching strength that has seen the exact same pain and trauma as any other character in that story while still managing to maintain an unfallable sense of GOODNESS
LIKEEE I don't think you understand that the characters you call 'weak' are characters who've endured the exact same experience as the conventionally 'stronger' character yet THEY still hold out good for the world, THEY are proof that kindness can emerge from tragedy! istg I will
