#that's it that's my review

What's the point of making a TV show (comedy) on the greek gods if you don't hire Jack Black to play the pivotal role of Dionysus? That guy was born for it.

On a more articulate (who am I kidding) note:

1. Outrageous how much I've been consumed by these THG books. Like yeah it's YA fantasy. This means it's either objectively pretty good, I'm still a ya at heart and therefore target audience, or a mix of the two. In any case I was not expecting this

2. Was kinda taken aback with how quickly everything wrapped up in the last chapters + epilogue. Like a bit too fast. Like I'm sure 20 more pages wouldn't have hurt anyone on a total of 1800.

Unless good old Suzanne was leaving the door open for some kind of a sequel, which honestly I don't see happening

3. Will die mad at how little attention and credit and consideration Haymitch gets. Like okay I went in these books just to read about him and Effie. And I can somehow overlook the non-existent and frankly confusing role Effie was given. It's fine, probably no one reading the books cared much about her. But Haymitch? Like come oooon. Even from Katniss pov he was such an important character. And suddenly after everything he's done and put himself through, he gets relegated back to being a drunken hostile barely-there figure?

I'll die mad and full of headcanons I guess

sharing a very sage bit of advice from The Simpsons' own John Swartzwelder that i've been trying to hamper down in my writing and drawing alike. let your inner crappy little elf do his worst

no offense but you guys need to learn the difference between someone implying their experience is universal and a post simply just not being about you

[spiderbitesandvampirevenom]

"this is a universal queer experience"

>ask if it's universal or white

>they don't understand

>I pull out a diagram explaining what is universal and what is white

>they laugh and say "It's a good experience sir"

>I'm a native american trans woman

>Experience is white

Reading Mockingjay as an adult is extra devastating because. Of course the plucky teenager and her ragtag friends aren't going to sneak into a government building to kill the president with a bow and arrow. That's absolutely ridiculous. It's the kind of thing that's only possible in the kind of propaganda that Coin developed. But she's so good at it that in some ways she tricks the reader into thinking that's the kind of story this is, too--even after 3 books reminding us that pretty much everything that Katniss does the second she volunteers is manipulated by adults pulling strings to make propaganda in some form or another.

btw if a trans man decides that they want to get pregnant and you're not normal about this and start spewing a bunch of transphobic shit i show up at your house and beat you to death with a baseball bat

In June 2021 I was reading my favorite book, The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green, in the psych ward, feeling completely hopeless and alone.

Today I was reading my favorite book, The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green, in the waiting room to go to the first doctor visit on the road to start testosterone.

I know how it feels to think that you would be better off dead, but today I also know that:

"You can't see the future coming-not the terrors, for sure, but you also can't see the wonders that are coming, the moments of light-soaked joy that await each of us"
