Both the hunger games before and now the ballad of songbirds and snakes proves that the young adult genre can produce some genuinely good storytelling while also examining social issues without talking down to its audience, which makes the ungodly amount of popular bad ya novels all the more embarrassing.

Yes, he was young once, with the chance to become a good person.
but he chose not to be.
He only made selfish decisions.
The fact that he loved someone with a good heart, like Lucy and his sister, doesn’t change the fact that he did what he did to other people, many of whom had a heart as good as the people he once loved.
all the people sympathising with snow and saying they can't hate him anymore after watching tbosas... y'all let awful white men get away with ANYTHING as long as you find them attractive and it SHOWS

I will always stand up for Britney Spears because what she’s endured for years is just tragic. She deserves justice and the right to have control over her own life. This woman has been through so much and she deserves freedom from everyone and everything that has hurt her.

“Don’t let grief vex you! You should let it into your heart. Nor should you be afraid of madness! It comes to you perhaps as a friend and not as an enemy, and the only thing that is bad is your resistance. Let grief into your heart. Don’t lock the door on it. Standing outside the door, in the mind, it is frightening, but in the heart it is not.”
— Ludwig Wittgenstein, Nachlass, MS 137 (29 June 1948)
