Mostly rants and gushing about Monica/Chandler and FRIENDS. I sometimes post about the Percy Jackson (Percabeth), Stargate Atlantis (John and Elizabeth) Harry Potter, Parks and Rec (Leslie and Ben), the Chronicles of Narnia, Teen Wolf (esp.

ANONYMOUS ASKED: I LIKE YOUR POST ABOUT THE HUNGER GAMES AND AGREE WITH MOST OF IT, BUT I STILL THINK THE LOVE TRIANGLE WAS UNNECESSARY AND PEOPLE ARE RIGHT TO CRITICIZE IT. COLLINS COULD HAVE VERY EASILY WRITTEN GALE AS THE BEST FRIEND AND PEETA AS HER MAIN LOVE (BASED ON ENDGAME CHOICES) OR VICE VERSA I DON'T EVEN CARE SINCE I'M NOT A BIG SHIPPER OF EITHER. BUT SHE DID INTRODUCE THE UNNECESSARY DRAMA THAT OVERALL DID NOT ADD MUCH TO THE PLOT, AND IT ONLY TOOK AWAY FOCUS. SO I THINK I UNDERSTAND THAT CRIT.fictionadventurer

Katniss > has to think about what she wants–cling to her old life or dive > into this new post-Hunger Games world? Does love have a place in > this world at war? And when we think about the question in that way, > the sloppy integration of the love story into the main action plot > is kind of the point. Katniss may be instigating a war, but she’s > still a teenage girl.

> There’s a war going on! There’s no time for love triangles!

Diving back into the Dead Poets Society after almost nine years. (Because my heart will never recover apparently). _TWO MEN TO MAKE ONE BROTHER_ _“Anderson? As in Todd Anderson’s brother?” Well. Alright. That wasn’t the reaction he normally got._ _Jeffrey Anderson never thought much about his younger brother. But Welton’s anniversary event makes him realise there’s a lot he’smissed._
_Canon compliant. Implied Neil/Todd. Appearances from the other Dead Poets, Nolan and McAllister._ > HTTPS://ARCHIVEOFOUROWN.ORG/WORKS/22432384>
