Why “The Hunger Games” matter.

youll-burn-with-us:

The Mockingjay? A poor girl.

The guy who saved her life? A generous black poor boy.

Her first inspiration to be the Mockingjay? A sweet black poor girl.

The person who transformed the heroine into the Mockingjay? A talented black man.

District 13 president? A determined woman.

District 13 chief of security? A kind-hearted black man.

District 13 chief of technology? An extremely intelligent black man. In a wheel chair.

Panem’s next president, which will also bring back democracy? A woman. A black one. A very courageous and fair one.

The best TV director from the Capitol? A talented woman.

Her main assistent? A black man.

One of the camera men? A mute poor guy.

OMG AN WHITE, STRAIGHT (?), CISGENDER (?) GUY! But nah, he was a poor one. Still a minority.

Just like Gale.

And Peeta (also, he doesn’t have a leg, but we’re talking movie *sigh*, so…).

And the character who was forced into prostitution was… a guy, not a girl.

Wait, where are the [irony] good men [/irony], the white, middle/rich class, cisgender, straight ones, not disabled, not opressed ones? Here’s one:

I know there have been white-washing and I know it’s still not perfect at all. But way to go, The Hunger Games. That’s why this series means so much to me.

BRAVA

Hogwarts is probably my ideal school because there’s no mandatory physical education and all the meals are served buffet style

People I have been taught to hate by the media:

– Kirsten Stewart
– Taylor Swift

People I absolutely love since the moment I realized I have no reason at all to hate them:

– Kirsten Stewart
– Taylor Swift

Both are hella awesome ladies who need to be left alone by judging media who mind fuck girls into hating these beautiful women.

all bugs can be organized into one of three categories: homies, chillers, and haters. hornets and wasps are haters. mosquitos are haters. most spiders are homies cuz they eat shitty bugs, some spiders are chillers cuz they dont really do anything, but also some spiders are haters because they’ll kill you. learn to tell the difference. bees are homies but they become haters if you fuck with them. most beetles are chillers but if they’re the kind of beetle that flies really fast at your face then they’re haters.

Please, PLEASE, I beg you. Do not listen to anything tumblr has to say regarding the upcoming election. I don’t care what side they are on.

Do your own research, formulate your own opinion, vote for who you think best represents your values and can best lead the country.

Do not let other people tell you who that is for you. Most of the time they are exaggerating and spreading false information.

my mom once told me about how her friend’s daughter was once in a weird relationship with an older man who got off on paying her bills

like he would give her a credit card and would totally find sexual pleasure in going over all the purchases she made with his money

but they hardly ever talked or saw each other

and the story still sits with me because i think that’s like fairytale kinds of magic right there
