can I say smth that might get me canceled??? I'm tired of white ppl acting like being queer automatically makes them part of a minority & using it as a shield when they mess up. It's like the white woman tears all over again… 
          	
          	queerness is CERTAINLY a source of marginalization, but if you're white, ur race is what people notice first.
          	
          	same thing goes to ppl who use being neurodivergent as a free pass for everything. like sure, it can affect things but sometimes it’s over the top and honestly exhausting

one thing I love abt Suzanne Collins’ writing is how each narrator sees District 12 so differently. Katniss’s world is bleak & closed off, Haymitch remembers a version with music, parties, even candy & Snow (being a Capitol kid) sees it through this arrogant, elitist lens. you can literally feel how their perspectives shift the whole world around them.

@duable she’s so talented !!! when I went into Haymitch’s book, I thought he’d sound similar to Katniss but not at all... like there are a few parallels here and there but their perspectives are still so different and that contrast is what makes the story so good ;)

@nostalgiclogan yuuuppp !! you can really see how over the years, District 12 became more closed off and forgotten and that’s EXACTLY how the Capitol’s propaganda started winning. in Haymitch’s book, I was honestly so shocked by how much brighter District 12 felt compared to the one we know with Katniss. it didn’t seem good by any means but there was still music, little luxuries, ppl going out… and it made me realize how much things changed after Snow slowly tightened his grip. like the neglect just piled up, the streets got dirtier, ppl got hungrier and even basic comforts disappeared. eventually, everyone was so worn down that they didn’t even have the strength to question the propaganda anymore.... that’s how Snow won: not all at once but little by little, until nobody could afford bread let alone hope :/

thinking abt publishing my Coriolanus Snow fic…

vintagedreamsx

@Rose123_____ @nostalgiclogan @melovdia @vintagegrace @AustinButlersSlave I’ve been wanting to write abt him for a long time !! I even have a draft from 2023 with the first two chapters done…. but I still hesitate. He’s such a controversial character lol
            
            like I know some readers dislike it when writers explore problematic characters ( especially when it’s Snow … some readers believe it ends up romanticizing what he did ) but he genuinely fascinates me, not bc I agree with him but bc he’s complex like the Darkling or Tom Riddle but in his own kind of evil

I absolutely LOVED the new chapter!!!! I cant wait for Tommy and millies reunion!! Also, can millie speak arabic and Italian fluent and does she have a Egyptian accent or something else bc when ppl call her accent posh my mind goes to Queen Elizabeth yk <33

vmpwolfii

@vintagedreamsx yw!! This clears a few things about her accent. If Tommy and her have children will she teach them her languages and give them arabic/names? Also, is it just me that sees kamilla as a young Monica bellucci??

when ppl say she has a “posh” accent, it’s not like the Queen Elizabeth kind of posh lol like It’s more of a mix. she grew up selling perfumes to wealthy clients, so she naturally picked up parts of their accent when speaking to them :) but at the same time, she still has traces of an Arabic/Egyptian accent .. so it ends up sounding like a blend — posh English mixed with Egyptian?¿ The thing is, she’s just very well-spoken and articulate, which is why ppl in Birmingham assume she has a posh accent. It’s not really about her sounding upper-class, just that she speaks clearly and elegantly kind of like the “posh” ppl do 
            
            & yh she’s fluent in Arabic since she’s lived in Egypt all her life but she also speaks Sicilian Italian and understands the northern dialect !! 
            
            I hope that makes sense !! & thank you sm, I barely get any feedback on that fic, so I’m really glad you liked it <3

Albert Camus loved FRENCH Algeria, not the independent one ppl fought and d!ed for. 
          
          don’t get me wrong, he was a great writer but it’s worth remembering he was born a ‘pied-noir,’ part of the French settler community that benefited from colonisation... so his idea of Algeria came through a colonial lens : he loved the land but not necessarily the ppl who were fighting to reclaim it… 
          
          just saying this bc a lot of folks admire his work (& fair enough) but his version of Algeria wasn’t the real, free one, it was the one built on occupation !!!
