I don't mean to constantly compare June/Nick/Luke to Katniss/Peeta/Gale but oh... the similarities...
"No mother is ever, completely, a child's idea of what a mother should be, and I suppose it works the other way around as well."

me: is completely shocked when something fucked up happens in my dystopian novel
damn you, fred waterford. your beard so ugly. your voice so infuriating. your aura so slimy. your life so worthless. your eyes so pokeable. your teeth so kickable. your face so jared leto. your wife so hot. i‘ll kill you, fred waterford.
I finally got around to watching The Handmaid's Tale. I just got to season 3, and I gotta say,
Serena Joy Waterford is the kind of Complex Female Character that fandom says they want and then can't handle.
She is a horrid cruel bitch, and a brilliant and relatable antagonist. She has an MBA and is a published author that helps build a new society that bans women from any form of literacy. She tries to be friends with her natal slave and then punishes her for being overly familiar. She is full top to bottom of fart-huffing bullshit and cognitive dissonance so bad she cannot tell up from down but she knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that looking good and speaking with confidence will get her her own way 99% of the time (and it only cost her a finger once)
Serena Joy is Girlboss Gaslight Gatekeep and I will stan her even as I hate her.
The Handmaid’s Tale 🤝 Immaculate
Sydney Sweeney playing a devout young girl whose faith is manipulated by evil men for their own benefit
we as a fandom don’t talk about joseph lawrence enough. that fuckass attitude. that cunty scarf. the rings. the pizzazz. the expensive paintings he raided all museums of the nation for, not to display them but just so winslow can’t have them. the way he lets his marthas degrade him because he either gets off on it or thinks it‘s funny. that cunty way he turns around when spoken to. the genuine love and admiration he has for eleanor and his actual genuine regret for his actions that he doesn’t just put on to get what he wants like serena but that actually seems to gnaw at him constantly. the needless flamboyance when he essentially tells nick not to execute him. the way aunt lydia tries to blackmail him and he goes „ooooh, DISH, sister“ as soon as she mentions that she‘s got dirt on the other commanders as well. the way that somehow, bradley whitford plays a more sympathetic character on the handmaid‘s tale than on fucking brooklyn 99.
*sigh*
