Suzanne Collin’s just said fuck you to everyone who’s ever critiqued the Hunger Games as being a “teen girl saves the day” story. She said oh, Mockingjay didn’t make it clear enough? Here’s a book about how people have been rebelling for decades only to have their efforts suppressed and propagandized. Rebellion takes time and it takes failure and Katniss may have been the spark that ignited the wildfire but she did so standing atop the doused flames of everyone who came before her.
Rewatching atla episodes for Reasons and I just realised that Zuko found Appa the night after he found out he was missing. The gaang have been desperately searching for, what? A few weeks? And Zuko sees a poster saying Appa is missing and just squares tf up and finds him immediately. What a fucking madman.
I bet Lyra learnt to wear makeup when she started attending that girls’ school. I bet she made lots of female friends, and they taught her to do pretty things with her hair, and she watched them wear pretty clothes and gradually started to ask them for advice on how to wear pretty clothes.
I bet she found learning to be feminine just as hard as learning to read the aletheometer. And I bet she tried to be scornful at the start, out of habit, but when she was lonely and sad at night a girl came over to comfort her and they became close friends and Lyra would come to realise that some of the friends she had made at that school were people she would gladly fight and kill to protect. And I bet she saw that they weren’t any good at fighting with their fists like she was, but that they were fighting to protect her just as hard, taking care of her when she was sad and lonely over such odd things, and defending her from cruel people who would mock her for her spotty knowledge and odd opinions.
And I bet she became an activist for all sorts of things as well as being a renowned scientist. I just. I have a lot of feelings about Susie Pevensie and Jane Darling and all the fantasy queens who lost their kingdoms, and I feel like Lyra’s definitely one of them, one of the ones who realised that in her own world things were much harder and more difficult and she couldn’t have power in all the same ways she used to, but she learnt to use the power that was there for her, and she used it wonderfully.

Why don’t I hear more about undead beings coming back to warn people? It’s always zombies wanting to drag people down to join them in the grave, ghosts seeking vengeance, spirits trying to chase people out of their domains - but if you died horribly and were left rattling around some spooky mansion for eternity, wouldn’t you want to stop people from blundering into the same death you had?
You feel a cold breath on your neck as you get in the car. It won’t leave until you fasten your seatbelt. An unseen force catches your foot as you pass the fourth step every time you walk up the stairs. During a renovation, you find out the wood is rotten. You can never find a pack of cigarettes - even ones guests bring disappear from their pockets and are found weeks later on the lawn, empty. Your daughter is giggling and laughing at something unseen, chasing after it away from the cliffside on your family hike. You don’t know why, but you feel compelled to leave a spare hairband and some stickers on a picnic table as you leave the park. Tribute? A thank you? The items are gone by next time you visit, and you swear a happy child’s hum follows you home on the breeze.
…More preventative hauntings. It just makes sense.
