When I Was A Kid I Used To Respond To The "glass Half Full/half Empty" Question By Asking How The Liquid

Ppl rlly be complaining about the decision to cast Tom Blyth as Coriolanus Snow, saying that he's "too hot" to dislike him when that's exactly the whole point of the saga — to make you forget about the cruelty of everything and focus only on the "pretty side". And that's literally panem et circenses.

Agh I'm so mad💀

I've been obsessed with how the first ten Hunger Games were in an actual arena, like with seats and an event floor and turnstiles and everything. Something that was so clearly human-made, without so much as a weed growing inside of it.

Then Coriolanus goes off to Twelve and has his own private Hunger Games with Lucy Gray in the middle of the woods and comes to the conclusion that humanity is violent, and it must be contained by the Hunger Games. Some point after that, the arenas are still human-made, but mimic nature like Snow's own Hunger Games with Lucy Gray. Some are deserts or tundras or jungles, but all are made to appear like a natural environment. Only they're nature that's been constructed and manicured by humans, just like the Games are.

Fitting, then, that the first hit against this arena is made by a boy from District Twelve. Then a quarter century later, this arena is destroyed by a girl from District Twelve who learned to shoot arrows in the very trees that saw the future dictator of Panem emerge from it with his worldview now set against the natural world.

Can we talk about the cover for a second? Do you remember how she said she specifically chose the picture where she wasn't smiling because she didn't want to give away the album or have people form an opinion on it based on the cover and the mysterious one was better? But now with her own version she's full on smiling with her whole face shown, hair blowing in the wind and she looks so joyful and free.

Either we're getting 1989tv announcement or she's trolling us massively

important reminders for writers

1. save your doc. please. 

2. have a backup doc for important chapters/parts of your story 

3. stretch if you’ve been sitting for too long. 

4. hydrate yourself. 

5. trim the nails of your working hand if you find it hard to type/write with long nails. 

6. write that idea down somewhere. no, you won’t remember it. jot it down please. 

7. read your doc once more before deciding that it’s good enough. 

8. if you have a friend who enjoys reading your stuff, share it with them! get feedback if you’re okay with it! 

9. read other people’s works!

No one warned me that coming into your own also includes grieving the life you were conditioned to believe you wanted.

I have this skill where I hear one note of a Taylor Swift song somewhere in public and my spine straightens and my head tilts up like I am the goddamn winter soldier being activated but instead of going on a murder spree I just say to my friends "Taylor Swift is playing" and they think I'm insane

Tumblr is the only place where I can execute an anonymous rein of terror and I'm here for it
