I’m so embarrassed to have to type this out but this is the last place I can turn for the support of my friends and community. I’m a struggling Latina lesbian trying to make my way in the world, and with COVID19 my financial situation deteriorated until I was forced to move back in with my parents. 

A few nights ago a person I once considered a friend outed me to my parents because he was upset I rejected his romantic advances. Upon finding out my parents decided to kick me out, and I’ve had to stay with a friend. Now that she can no longer house me, I’m trying to find an apartment and need help staying at a motel and paying for food and gas.

I just need a few hundred dollars to cover the cost of living until I get my next pay cheque and find a place to lease. If you want to help a struggling sapphic Latina, my paypal is paypal.me/ant0nella

Writing does not have to be realistic 

Writing does not have to be realistic 

Oh my god, I’ve seen this so much recently and it’s killing me. Posts that talk about how extreme shows of emotion don’t happen constantly, how fight scenes should never take more than a minute, how nobody notices the exact color of someone’s eyes the first time they meet. And yes, while true irl, you don’t have to write “realistically” if you don’t want to. Not only is expecting this form of realism stifling to a lot of writing styles and genres, but, um, hello we are making art, people! Art! Where exaggeration and aesthetic are at their best and often greatly add to whatever you’re creating. 

You want your characters to throw themselves to the ground and sob? To leap and clap their hands from joy and excitement? Do it!!!! Fight scenes that take pages and involve the most ridiculous, outlandish weapons, and have the characters twirl and spin and leap and call out witty banter? Fucking go for it, my guy! You want your character to observe “the gorgeous, ever changing, shifting green hues” of their love interest’s eyes the first time they meet? Hell yeah, baby! 

Look, it’s fun sometimes to take apart the tropes and “mythbuster” your way through them, but that is itself a form of entertainment. It’s not meant to be instructive about how to create art. 

To be honest no. You have to remember something about Suzanne Collins that while writing Mockingjay she was influenced by the global events going on. It hurts to say that she had already written Prim's death from the moment she was picked to be a tribute for the Hunger Games.

But when you think about it Prim was also selected to be in that group of medics who were going to run into the fray.

Why was a 14-year-old girl doing at the front lines of the war? Front line. You have to ask yourself that question.

Because to a political leader who wants control, what better way to clip the wings or annihilate any resistance, by putting the one thing she knows can devistate her opponent, her 14-year-old sister innthe line of fire.

Also destroying sister creates an automatic rift between two friends. Friends that can potentially take Coin Down. Prim became nothing but collateral damage.

I imagined Gale as another piece of collateral collateral damage in the war. He's a boy who's filled with rage and has distrust for the System he grew up in. The type of guy who can easily be brainwashed into believing something. A cause. He was the polar opposite of an argument. Colin’s herself said that Gale and Peeta represented opposite sides of an argument. They both had a hijacking in a way. Peeta was hijacked by the capitol and Gale was hijacked by the rebellion.

Gale unfortunately was sucked into that world because he wanted to do something against what he's thought was a bigger evil. Imagine the moment he realized that he was tricked and deceived and manipulated...that he'd become the very same thing he fought against. That's devastating. Gale had become fire and destruction. It's why I imagine he quietly wrote himself out of Katniss life. It would be the only honorable thing for Gale Hawthorne to do.

To be honest if you read the books without the media presence of the triangle... the myth that all "YA dystopian novels have to have a love triangle" and read each character for what they are. You'll see that both boys are two sides to an argument. In the end, it's almost like Katniss chose the side of the argument that made most sense for to her to be able to survive.

"That what I need to survive is not Gale’s fire, kindled with rage and hatred. I have plenty of fire myself. What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again. "

I guess that's the most intimate question that a person needs to ask themselves, and it's really an honest question, what do you need to survive?

Do I need to be in a loveless marriage or a relationship to be happy? Do I need that extra pair of shoes? Whatever it is, The Hunger Games is more than just a YA story. It poses a lot of questions deeply hiden in the text.
