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.
I hate how my biggest goals in life rn are to have a steady 9-5 that doesn't completely mentally drain me, and allows me to have an actual life work balance, live in my own 1 bedroom apartment with no roommates, where I can eat healthy homecooked food and actually own a functioning car I can drive. Why the fuck is that considered a wild dream nowadays? This was literally the standard/minimum like 20 years ago. Wtf. I don't want to do this anymore this whole world is bullshit why are human dignity(and rights) becoming a pipedream
Fuck societal norms. Marry your best friend for benefits, start that illegal community gardwn, paint your house purple, have however many families fit live together in a house, co-sleep with your found family, eat that whole cake, be happy
So my friend gifted me some bubbles as a Valentine’s Day gift. And I just went around my school blowing bubbles, and I was having the time of my life. And then half the people avoided the bubbles and kept walking and I’m just sitting here like “Wow we really have failed as a society”
I aim to be untouched by society. My joy and whimsy will not die.
