suzanne collins is such a genius… the cultural phenomena of her series leading to the hanging tree house remixes, mockingjay being milked for two (bad) movies, the capitol-inspired makeup palettes, the halloween costumes, the explosion of the market for dystopia, the butchering of her characters and removal of disabilities, disfiguration, and racial tension + representation to sell more tickets, the extra gale scenes to fuel discourse, and the audience showing up to cinemas to watch what was pretty honestly marketed to them (the jacob vs edwardification of the symbolic love story and also to watch children fight to the death) it’s just so ridiculously ironic i would say you can’t write this shit, but she did write about it… in The Hunger Games published 2008
doctor who is like heres one of the most complicated and tragic friends-to-enemies-to-friends-to-lovers stories youll ever experience about two very tormented people finding and losing each other again and again and again across time and space and wanting each other without reaching for each other and caring for each other without wanting to admit it and crying for each other without the other knowing but one of their names is ‘the master’ and one of their names is ‘the doctor’ so you cant take any of it seriously at all

What do you mean “the same arc”, it happens in the same episode

This was me yesterday when I saw someone thinking paint 3D was the original MS paint
they thought what…
my favorite thing about this post is that it originally started like this but someone snuck in another bullet along the way when you could still edit other people’s posts. the depth. the history. the tumblr lore. mystery author, i know you’re out there somewhere…
