Reclaiming "we Have Literally Forever To Figure It Out" For The Dbda Fandom As A Community Call To Keep

not me (and my friends) celebrating Halloween on anyday but the accurate date.

besides he is also quick to acknowledge his friends intelligence and discernment. he tells them that they are clever if they do something remotely smart.

I think it is because he values knowledge and learning above everything (and that's why he loves books and isn't shy to say that he is ignorant in some subjects).

You gotta give it to Edwin for always asking when he doesn't know stuff, while knowing full well people usually laugh at that.

It probably has something to do with Charles explaining even after chuckling a bit, but it would make sense for Edwin to avoid asking other people, not knowing their reaction.

But no, he wants to know immediately, from whoever will answer. "Body count?", "What is a handjob?", "Your... Internet".

I love how he's never shy about it.

the fact that in ancient Greece philosophers were debating whether Achilles was a top or a bottom (or a twink or a bear if you prefer) will never not be funny to me

I think the most radical thing the hunger games does is tell young people that the most revolutionary thing you can do is have unconditional love for humanity. Katniss throughout the entire series is guided by a deep sense of compassion for the people around her. It is what causes her to volunteer, to bury rue, to mercy kill cato, its why she tries to save peeta, why finnick telling her to remember who the real enemy is works, and even though her compassion for the larger world falters when peeta is kidnapped, it comes back when she visits hospitals and asks for mercy for other victors and ultimately, it is love and belief in a better humanity that makes her kill coin. Through it all, she maintains an unfaltering belief in the fundemental goodness of humanity, which is diametrically opposed to dr gaul's and snow's worldview. Peeta is even more unwaveringly compassionate

So the series tells young people that the most revolutionary thing you can be is compassionate. Let compassion drive your politics. Let yourself believe in the fundemental goodness of people. And i think that's deeply important in a world that touts the superiority of pure reason or logic, to allow yourself to be guided by something as emotional as compassion. Katniss everdeen tells us that your politics should be rooted in compassion in a world that thinks detatchment or cynicism is intelligence and i think thats v cool
