I'll Never Get Over How Fucking Ridiculous The Post-hunger Games Dystopian YA Trend Was. Every Book Was

I'll never get over how fucking ridiculous the post-hunger games dystopian YA trend was. Every book was "society is sorted into *rolls dice* 5 groups based on *picks card* astrology signs. It is illegal to *throws dart at wall* sing. The main character is special because she *spins wheel* knows how to read. Two boys are in love with her."

friendly reminder peeta most probably suffered from abuse from his mother throughout the majority of his childhood ✿◕‿◕✿

 the hunger games is basically hadestown with more murder

don’t tell me peeta wouldn’t go into the underworld with only the power of love and song and accidentally start a revolution like orpheus (yes i know katniss is technically the one who started it in the books but she’s Eurydicie in this  - hungry young girl, fuck this romance nonsense, better survival instincts et cetera - cause i feel liker Eurydice is the true hero of the musical)

i mean, one of the songs is literally called “his kiss, the riot” 

they’re both stories about trying to save your loved one and accidentally starting a whole thing you weren’t really trying to start, but now that it’s started they’re sure as hell not gonna stop it

plus i think patrick page would be a good president snow

friendly reminder haymitch drinks to forget about how he (inadvertently) caused his family and girlfriend’s deaths ✿◕‿◕✿

the best part of the hunger games is when prim gets called and katniss is screaming about it NOT MY SISTER and then peeta gets called and he has like 50 brothers and they’re all just like sucks dude…

I love your blog. Nothing irks me more than how the media portrays the books/movies, and how many people hate thg because it's "the next twilight" Sometimes it feels like I'm the only one who actually realizes the depth of the series, that all this happened to children, that the story is about a 17 year old girl who is forced into death matches; not the tale of how the next Disney princess found her true love. So thank you, for pointing out what should be, but evidently isn't, the obvious. 😄

Haha thanks!! I don’t tend to pay attention to the media anyway seeing as most of what they come up with is exaggerated or twisted in some way. I can see how they’re trying to appeal to a certain audience but yeah it annoys me too. A lot of people on tumblr here understand though, you’d be surprised at how many do :)
