i'm not kidding, literally what I do with things full of death is read/write happy AUs in which ever

So, I just accidentally the first two Hunger Games books! They're that sort of book, you know the one, where it's hard to be sure of the actual quality one way or another, but you sure as hell can't stop reading.


Non-spoilery notes:

I hope the fandom is full, absolutely full of ridiculous high school AUs, in which people go on long holidays and worry about tests and nobody gets injured or dies at all. An Azumanga Daioh kind of thing. <--This is always my reaction to things where lots of characters die.

I love President Snow. He does evil dystopian politics like I would do evil dystopian politics! Straightforwardly and with infinite amounts of class.

Katniss and Haymitch are a perfect match; they were both positively born to be bitter old bastards. It's kind of really great. It also hits one of my ship kinks, the age-difference pairing in which it feels like there is no age difference at all, due to the younger partner being one of those people who are just born to be fifty years old.


I have tried to stop reading novels lately, mostly because they're total time-suckers. But also I feel like most of the teen adventure novels I used to love (quite similar to THG, most of them) are incredibly predictable, which wouldn't be a bad thing except they are also completely lacking in style and theme. Apparently what I want out of books is either a) Wizard of the Crow, or b) the Utena movie except with words instead of drawings. Hmm.


Also I have watched the new Korra trailer about fifteen times now. I just thought I should make a note of that.
