Thinking about how incredibly brave it was of Suzanne to make the main love interest a kind, sensitive, emotionally intelligent, disabled, stocky blond in 2008 when the trend at the time was skinny, tall, lanky, sarcastic, hates-everyone-but-main character, rageboy. And how absolutely genius it was to have BOTH of those types in the same series and have Katniss choose Peeta. Groundbreaking.
Suzanne literally does not care about trends. She cares about characters and themes and anything in her work that meets trends is a coincidence. She’s always coming at these coincidental trends from the unexpected angle, too. And it’s why 15 years later her work is still impactful and relevant.
i am forever a tv show girlie. never a movie girlie. i like movies but i LOVE shows. i love my little shows and i will never stop. they’re easier to watch (easier to take breaks if you’re not done. with movies, if you find yourself getting tired, you just pause it in the middle. tv shows are more forgiving) and easier for me to obsess over for longer periods of time. 2-0 shows win
The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it. It began with the forging of the Great Rings.
i genuinely love that the hunger games is in katniss’s pov bc shes the one character that has no clue about whats going on, clearly does not want to be there, and shes just walking through life in a permanent state of utter confusion. and idk i really relate to that.
