something about the fact that all 3 of our pov district 12 tributes were not selected fairly. lucy was picked because of the mayor’s daughter’s was jealous. haymitch because he intervened with the peacekeepers. and katniss because she volunteered. the spark, the flint, the fire.
seeing straight men be disgusted by booktok smut recommenders has actually radicalized me to the side of booktok smut recommenders. girls your taste may be atrocious but i will never disparage you for exposing mainstream discourse to the concept of soaking through your underwear. spent my whole life listening to men talk about penises it’s about time they get jumpscared by women talking about pussy in crude detail on social media. go forth and goon my warriors
it’s almost as though media is meant to be viewed critically… and that’s not to say someone has to look at it from these angles (i think one of the things about sjm is that people can read as much or little into it as they want) but to then dismiss constructive conversation that views the content as a somethibg to analyze critically (like anything pop-culture is)….
SJM fans who go "It's just fiction." when you point out a flaw in her writing are a pain in the ass. When a author wants to write about fantasy, they'll take things from REAL LIFE to put into their stories. There are authors out there who will write their ideologies into their books and SJM is one of them.
Feyre dismantling the spring court out of petty revenge? Colonization.
The inner circle not allowing ANYONE from hewn city to enter Velaris and if they did, they would be treated horribly? Segregation.
SJM describing her POC as not striking, not beautiful compared to her main characters? Racism.
Hybern being based on Ireland and Prythian being based on Britian? The portrayal and demonization of Celtic culture? Do you know what the other name for anti-Irish sentiment is? Hibernophobia. That is a one letter difference.
"Hybern's geography closely resembles that of Ireland, while Pryhtian resembles Britain. Sarah J. Maas took inspiration from both countries to create the two locations." That's from the trivia section of the wiki page for Hybern.
The fae enslaving humans for hundreds of years? And Rhys has the audacity to say both sides are wrong.
I AM NOT AT FAULT FOR POINTING OUT THESE KIND OF THINGS. FANTASY CAN BE AND IS A REFLECTION OF REAL LIFE!
Blame this guy named tony for this ok😭

Reblog and you’re guaranteed to be successful at whatever you do next!
Thinking about the discussion on Haymitch's hair in the movies vs books recently...
Both stress and alcoholism can change your hair color, though usually to white/gray
Just an interesting possible explanation that could be used! They could even say that his hair was colored blond not only for the social standards but to cover up that he was going gray so early in life
