One Paragraph. ONE PARAGRAPH!!!! I HAVE WRITTIEN LIKE SIX GOING ON SEVEN!!! IM GONNA CRY MYSELF TO SLEEP!!! BROOOOO

I was a kid with a Hunger Games hyperfixation and, from time to time, I'll get reminded of the books. With Trump's inauguration and the TikTok ban and unban, I can't stop thinking about a political tactic called panem et circenses, or bread and circuses.

In Mockingjay, Collins writes "'It’s a saying from thousands of years ago, written in a language called Latin about a place called Rome,' he explains. 'Panem et Circenses translates into "Bread and Circuses." The writer was saying that in return for full bellies and entertainment, his people had given up their political responsibilities and therefore their power.'"

In Collins' world, the Hunger Games was the entertainment. In ours, it's social media. Twitter, Meta, TikTok, are all controlled by political powers. Musk, Zuckerberg. TikTok is owned by Yiming and Rubo, but with the ban and unban, the content it shows in America is filtered to fit Trump's political agenda.

It's entertainment at the cost of information.

neil winning the idgaf war is so embarrassing for andrew actually...spent years convincing everyone he was the biggest idgafer around only for a ginger freak to absolutely upstage him in less than a year AND he gets a crush on him??? probably doodling stupid ass AM+NJ hearts during his lectures like a loser...

this is not to say neil wasnt also being a loser with a crush he was just not gafing at the same level mr nonchalant "hey i should probably warn him that im in love with him but i got a serial killer dad after me rn"

Thinking you are uniquely undeserving of love is just another form of self-centeredness.

It came free with being human but you have to learn to overcome it.

we poke fun at obi-wan for saying "sith lords are our specialty" and then getting his ass kicked by dooku, but in fairness, he was at the time the only person in living memory to have actually killed a sith. he showed remarkable humility honestly.

you meet itoshi sae on a plane to japan by pure coincidence.

you were given a seat free upgrade, and somehow, you end up on the other side of the aisle from the famous footballer. you try not to stare, you really do, but it's your first time being this close to a celebrity, much less one who was so unfairly attractive, so you forgive yourself for being this starstruck. you thank every god out there that he's fast asleep so he doesn't notice you looking.

what you don't realise is itoshi sae himself, all pride and ego, is also stealing glances at you while you slept peacefully, curled into your seat. he's met models, actresses, pretty daughters of important figures, which is why he finds your serene, unguarded expression all the more intriguing.

the air stewardess hands you a note with a smile as you disembark the plane, saying it was from the man who sat across the aisle. you open it only to see a date, time, and the name of a rather fancy restaurant.
