Stiles: *throws A Pokeball At Derek* Derek, I Choose You! Derek: *catches The Pokeball Without Looking

Okay but it’s fucking brilliant that one of the themes of the book was about the distortion of history.

Usually prequels are a dangerous thing to write because unless they’re planned out well in advance, they risk contradicting lore in the main series. Even still, we knew barely anything about Haymitch’s games. They were the perfect stomping ground for new information, with a rough series of events but without a close temporal connection to the main books.

But though she had this freedom and safety net, while she could have just written a story that aligned with what we knew, Collins leaned into the idea of contradicting past lore head on and made it the damn thesis of the book; that yeah, actually, it did play out entirely differently from how the characters saw it, and yes that contradicts what you were told, that’s the point.

We didn’t really know what happened in the 50th games until we read it from Haymitch’s perspective, because what little information we did have was spliced up and edited. The video evidence was processed through the Capital, and twisted to serve their purposes.

Tackling that idea of history being written by those in power with a notoriously inconsistent medium? Goddamn, writer that you are, Suzanne Collins.

I may or may not love my stupid toxtricity with nuzzle and tearful look on it. It may or may not be an 88-pound menace who thinks it’s a lapdog.

Anakin: "and he totally didn't know I was there because he said, and I quote, HAD YOU SAID THE WORD I WOULD HAVE LEFT THE JEDI ORDER"

Ahsoka: "which could mean nothing."

Anakin: "which could mean nothing."

How have I not known until now that Arthur will randomly sing when idle?

This is the first time I experienced this. 😳

Internet vernacular has completely altered what some words and expressions mean to me. Forevermore, I will hear the words "hear me out" will only and exclusively as "before you cast your judgements prematurely, please pause and allow me to explain how and why I should be allowed to fuck this thing".
