Friendly reminder that as devastating as THAT scene is, y'all better leave Kaitlyn Dever THE FUCK alone. Hate Abby all you want, but Kaitlyn is an actress and a real human. Do NOT repeat what happened to Laura Bailey. Okay thx bye
This is peak Ellie. Bella is a perfect Ellie. She even sounded like Ashley Johnson in this scene. Yet some of you fuckers keep saying she wasn't the "right choice," and I hate yall for that. Shut up about her casting, and fuck right off. Cause we all know why you think she's not a good fit, and it's not cause of her acting. Evil fucking motherfuckers.
The Percy Jackson renaissance and The Hunger Games renaissance happening in the same year is something so special to me
FOR THE NEW FANS OF IWTV JOINING US FROM NETFLIX, PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND:

This is an adaptation. This is Rolin Jones’s interpretation of IWTV. Some things are from the genius of Rolin, other things are direct parallels to the source material.
Nothing is black & white. The show is complex in its entirety.
A reoccurring theme is “Memory is a Monster”. Contradictions, delusions, lack of recollection, and discrepancies in each character are applicable. It is solely up to you, the viewer, the consumer, to determine who/what is reliable and who/what is not.
Another reoccurring theme is “Evil is a Point of View”, a direct quote from the 1st book.
S1 is Louis’s point of view. S2 is Louis’s point of view, with other pov’s included.
THE ENTIRE PREMISE OF THE CHRONICLES IS AS FOLLOWS: Humanity vs. Vampirism, Good vs. Evil. MEANING — 2 things can be true at the same time. We humans have our way of life just as vampires have their way of life. What we deem as good vs. evil is based on our nature. What vampires deem as good vs. evil is based on their nature.
Most importantly — IT IS OKAY TO ROOT FOR A VILLAIN. EVERY CHARACTER IS FLAWED. IT IS OKAY TO LOVE A CHARACTER AND HATE THEIR ACTIONS AT THE SAME TIME!

There is no right or wrong answer. It is all subjective. Everything is based on perception so contrasting opinions are inevitable. That is literally the point. But let us not forget that at the end of the day, this IS still in fact fiction.
The short answer is no, not based on what he did.
Pathologizing resistance and protesting in all its forms, including the selfless act of self-immolation in order to communicate an urgent message to save countless innocent lives is a colonial imperialist tool.
Fight any attempt to pathologize Aaron or any activist. They delegitimize Palestinian liberation when they paint us as “mentally ill” as if freedom and liberation are mental diseases!
Rest in peace Aaron.

The fact that over 10,000 people and counting in Gaza (likely way more than that considering how many people are missing/buried under the rubble) are dead is fucking unfathomable. I don’t think some people even understand how many 10,000 out of 2.2 million people is. Nearly half a percent of the population. Nearly one in every 200 people are dead in the Gaza Strip. In my home state of Texas, this would be as if you killed roughly 135,000 people. Any number of lives lost to violent military occupation is horrific, but this is on a scale that I don’t think most of us can even wrap our heads around. And just today it was reported by the Wall Street Journal that the United States is sending $320 million to Israel to arm them with more fucking bombs. I hope no one ever forgives us. I hope we never forgive ourselves.
