sorry

So I’ll live my life being so unsure

Cause I can’t quite tell what I’m hoping for

Somehow maybe now I’ll find the words to say

Never thought I’d see the day

hm. physically? i could beat up clayton. emotionally? i don’t know. i don’t know if i could carry that weight.

Saw something similar and had to recreate.

I don’t even go here but I’m still so angry about what happened to Hunger Games. The CLEAR allegories and political messages that were swept to the side and/or completely ignored in favor of a cool sci-fi dystopia story and a love triangle. The casting of a white adult Katniss. The REMOVAL of all (or nearly all) disabilities from the movies. How every fucking YA book jumped on the hot new trend of Rebel Girl Against Evil Society yet NONE of them managed to grasp that the Hunger Games dystopia wasn’t MADE UP based on some bullshit Hogwarts House sorting type system. And it wasn’t some bullshit teenage wish fulfillment fantasy about being Special and teenagers being The Only Smart Ones but rather Katniss is caught up in a groundswell movement that is so much BIGGER THAN HER. How when the movies came out corporate America started making fashion & beauty “Capitol” lines in a hilariously devastating display of irony. How nobody liked Mockingjay because it was “too dark” as though that wasn’t PRECISELY the point. How Katniss Herself was written off as though she’s just a Mary Sue action hero and she was “annoying” and not uniquely gifted because she had STRUGGLED and STARVED and learned how to survive the hard way and she was ANGRY. It basically inspired a new genre and yet all of these books were so pale and uninspired in comparison and the movies though they largely follow the plot somehow STILL managed to miss the point and the whole message was lost because of both these things.
