Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.
fun fact: i googled neil gaiman to see what else he'd written and his wikipedia link is the 6th link on google because the first 5 are self-aggrandizing blog links and poo poo

also maybe trap sprung but even the most minor character in battle royale (the book not the movie although the movie was ok) has more depth than anyone in the hunger games

i think that's oversimplifying it but it's commentary on the lack of agency in totalitarianism and also just the world

i mean the love triangle ends with her choosing between a brainwashed ptsd victim that might murder her or a war criminal that murdered her sister

not to mention the hosed geography of the hunger games which makes the book absolutely retarded, good page turner for the first book, but the 2 and 3rd were only read for the same reason i read all of a song of fire and ice

also get one of those racks and hang it on the wall so you put the beer with the shampoos etc.

that sounds like a pretty bad excuse for an awful character tbh

its self insertion for young adult readers. they can pretend theyre the character because the character doesnt stand out on their own. its literally the young girl version of gordon freeman in the half life games: no choices, no voice, no opinion, its a series of challenges to overcome on a set path that was determined by every other character in the game except the main one.

Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.
