@uncommon-etc
I kind of miss the impulsivity that certain spaces used to allow. oh you want a hair cut today? hairdresser in the corner can fit you in before her 2 o’clock. tattoo of a cobra… sure leg or arm? even concerts, back when you could go to the box office thirty mins before any show. not saying these things don’t exist at all, but everything feels booked five months in advance and 10x more expensive

no you do not need to hold fictional characters "accountable". they are not real.
5 ways the hunger games adaptations messed up for no apparent reason
If anyone knows of a genuine excuse for what look like lazy and unnecessary examples of canon divergence, let me know (and feel free to add your own)
5. Buttercup
So we're told straight off this cat is ginger right? He's ginger in Catching Fire and both parts of Mockingjay, but in the first film we get...
Like... could they not find a single ginger cat to appear in a 5-second scene? I genuinely don't understand why this happened
4. Burdock Everdeen's death
The first film is the least faithful to the books, to its detriment, and while the lack of narration makes it difficult to accurately convey Katniss' memories, they didn't even really try here. We get a photo on the mantlepiece and a shot of some miners, that's it. There's no associative exposition, showing you that he taught her to hunt, that the jacket she wears was once his (as was the original bow).
When you consider the importance of objects imbued with memory to the series it seemed pretty lazy. And if they gloss over the fact that Burdock and Haymitch were best friends in sotr I might just have to throw hands with the screenwriters
3. The timeline of the double-homicide in tbosas
Having Lucy Gray write 'Pure as Driven Snow' prior to watching Coriolanus shoot Mayfair was a weak move. The timing is important. In the film, it makes her look like a naive teenage girl who doesn't know what he's capable of, in the book it makes her look like a ride-or-die who's fully aware and prepared to try and match his freak with her own.
Idk, the film already made it seem way more like she got fridged to serve the plot (when the ending to the book was much more ambiguous), don't take away her agency like that
2. The architecture of the Capitol
Yeah, I'm as much a fan of the early brutalist style as anyone, but making the Capitol look like Stalinist Russia is a convenient way to ignore the fact The Hunger Games is supposed to be a story of a uniquely American dictatorship.
The books very clearly describe candy-coloured skyscrapers, with important municipal buildings and the president's mansion made from white marble, do you see any candy-coloured skyscrapers here? Didn't think so. We're leaning heavily into Moscow-in-the-40s which is cool but a pretty major divergence from the source material.
And finally, because it was the single daftest decision in adapting tbosas and they're probably going to have to retcon this in sotr or change part of the ending...
The tribute interviews/the ballad of Lucy Gray Baird
Words cannot describe of infuriated I was when I watched this scene, because in sotr, when a young Haymitch stumbles upon clips from the early games, he sees Lucy Gray's performance at the tribute interviews, and we get this:
'The girl bows and extends her hand to a figure who's standing just out of the spotlight. A silhouette of a man. Upright, trim. A crown of curls. He waits a moment, as if deciding whether or not to join her. Then takes a step forward as the screen goes black.'
Haymitch identifies district 12's forgotten victor, he does the maths, and he figures out that Lenore Dove's in grave danger, because there was a reason president Snow seemed to know so much about the covey when they met in the library. But this revelation is only possible because he's seen the one piece of surviving media in the Capitol that links the two of them together.
I'm sure they'll figure out some other way to make it work, but the sheer poetry of the scene happening the exact same way in both tbosas and sotr, of it being the only real evidence of both Lucy Gray's existence and their love story, isn't something you can just replace. Why they decided to have Coriolanus watch the performance from the hospital rather than actually being there is completely beyond me.
at some point in your life you will be boiling fruit, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a pot to make a syrup or jam. the instructions will tell you to simmer for a certain amt of time. your timer will go off and you will look at the pot and go, "hm, this doesn't look thick enough. maybe i'll let it go for another 10 minutes." this is the devil speaking. it's only so liquid right now because it is at boiling point. it will thicken when it cools down. learn from the follies of my youth and do not let this happen to you
at some point in your life you will be making a sauce or a stew in which you need to add cornstarch to thicken it. and you will prepare a slurry of starch in cold water and think "this looks like way too little starch to thicken this amount of liquid." this is the devil speaking. cornstarch instantly polymerizes at 95°C and if you add too much it will turn into an impossibly thick goop.
at some point in your life you will be making some sort of cream based dessert that requires gelatin to thicken it. and you will soak some gelatin sheets in water and think "this is too few gelatin sheets for this amount of cream." this is the devil speaking. it will thicken in the fridge and if you add too much you will end up with milk jelly
at some point in your life you will be baking cookies. you will take the sheet out after twelve minutes as the recipe instructs and the cookies will still be glistening and soft. "these don't seem cooked enough," you will think to yourself, "i should place them back into the oven until their edges are nice and golden." this is the devil talking. this is how you get dry, overdone cookies. the cookies will continue to bake on the warm sheet for several more minutes and then harden up after sitting on a rack for a while. trust the process. trust the process.
at some point in your life you will be adding a small pasta to a soup and you will think "that is not enough small pasta." this is the devil talking. the pasta will absorb the stock and expand. this is how you end up with a soup that is a solid mass of soggy ditalini.
At some point in your life you will be adding garlic to a dish and you will think "that is not enough garlic." These are angels speaking. They are correct. Add more garlic.

Ancient legends say that if you reblog this on June you get 110% gayer and stronger
right at the beginning when she's like how do I help my son feel loved and accepted I'm here shouting "QUEEN YOU ALREADY DID THAT BY TAKING HIS SIDE AND LEAVING THAT NO GOOD HUSBAND FOR HAVING THE AUDACITY TO KICK YOUR BABY OUT!" And Good for her! this is the only response to a man who kicks out a child.

I actually do think we should discourage women from becoming housewives. Do not become financially dependent on a man. That's how a lot of women ended up dead over the years. A man gets violent suddenly and you have to choose between homelessness or potentially dying at his hand because you have an enormous gap in your resume and no degrees or certifications or anything that will help you pursue a career that will allow you to be financially independent. He owns your bank account. His name is probably the one on the car. Try and leave and he can report it stolen. Where will you go then?
Don't become a housewife.
Yes, it's a good starting point to make sure that anything you value, you buy with your own money, whether it's your house, your method of transport, or even just the ingredients for dinner.
If he's paying for groceries, he decides what you eat. If he's paying for petrol, he decides how far away you'd be able to get at any given time. And if he's paid for a 'homestead' out in the middle of nowhere, he decides how many miles you are from anyone who can hear you scream.
I trust my partner completely but we're down as tenants-in-common rather than having joint and several liability on our mortgage, because I was organised enough to get a will and he wasn't, so if anything happened to me, our house would have passed automatically to him, then been divided nine ways between the cousins he barely sees, and I wanted my half of it to go to my nephews and nieces.
If you can't afford your own car, get a bike, it will still get you a fair distance from a dangerous ex in a hurry. If you can't afford ingredients for elaborate meals, learn to cook simple dishes for one. And if you can't afford all the nice things tradwife influencers constantly show off maybe those things aren't worth sacrificing your independence for.
If you find yourself financially dependent on a man, you better trust him with your life, because that's what you'll be giving up if you've made the wrong call.

"it's just stress" oh thank god, it's just the silent killer that slowly kills you, perfectly harmless, no need to worry
"it's just anxiety" let's ignore the blatant dismissal of my chronic illness and address the fact that even if it's "just" anxiety, if my anxiety is bad enough for me to be getting physical symptoms severe enough to miss GCSE exams over, then maybe you need to refer me to a fucking therapist.
yeah take it from someone who has spent the last few years working as a money adviser and advising the chronically ill and disabled, it is crazy how many people were dismissed as having 'anxiety' or 'reactive depression' in their early 20s and now have auto-immune diseases like crohn's or ulcerated colitis, fibromyalgia, CFS/ME or even cancer and heart disease today because they listened to those who said they just needed to chill out a bit more.
I'm not a doctor, but if you're constantly feeling burned out at work, struggling to make ends meet, losing your patience with everyone around you and crying way more often that you should, telling yourself you're overreacting is a sure-fire way to end up with a bunch of physical illnesses on top of the mental ones. Our bodies weren't built to sustain chronic stress, they were built to use stress as a motivator to get as far away as possible and then feel relieved that the danger has passed.
wore my thigh high boots on a walk today and we had to take a path through some long grass and while everyone else was rolling their pants into their socks and putting on jackets to protect themselves from ticks i was standing there smug as hell in my thigh high leather boots.
