Will of the Empress by Tamora Pierce:

-addresses rape culture

-it’s culturally allowed to kidnap a woman into marriage

-“technically” it’s frowned upon but who does that stop

-twisted POV that if a woman isn’t strong enough to escape she DESERVES IT

-the messy world where even fellow women have come to think that

-addresses “not all men”

-well liked man complains he’s being judged and the women shut him down and explain why they HAVE to be fearful of everyone

-he is quite as he realizes they’re right, then begins a crusade against the horrible rape practice

-team of characters who do not accept the rape culture

-they think the horrors of the rape culture outweigh any benefits of living there

-they take no slack from rapists and sexist pricks

-tons of sassy comments

-force feeding respect women juice to every single character and reader

The song Control by Halsey has always reminded me of Percy in Tartarus.

“I'm bigger than my body

I'm colder than this home

I'm meaner than my demons

I'm bigger than these bones

And all the kids cried out, "Please stop, you're scaring me"

I can't help this awful energy

God damn right, you should be scared of me

Who is in control?”

I picture Percy at the edge of the cliff, killing his enemy with her own fluids. Annabeth, scared of his power.

If there’s one good thing about the hijacking? Peeta has always had a romanticized version of Katniss. In his eyes she was perfect, and she took it for granted how much he adored her (she makes note of this after the hijacking). But by having to start back in square 1, having to work back to their love, it puts them on an even field. They see each other for what they are. When they are in love by the end, it’s REAL and not a blind romance through rose colored glasses. Against the odds they find each other again and that’s why their love is so strong and beautiful

Imagine... ballad of songbirds and snakes...a fantasy story where the elite are so concerned with themselves, their image, their legacy, their future, their wealth, that they convince themself everything which they do is for the benefit of humankind... even though everyone can see that the non elite, the people deemed “beneath” are suffering, dying, failing just to survive... A fantasy story where the character who has a moral compass, who cares deeply for all around him, who hates the system, who tries to fight against the system the best he knows how, is punished, is laughed at, is deemed an emotional fool who doesn’t know anything about the real world, who is ultimately put to death for daring to see humanity in others... A fantasy story where those in power value being in control more than they value the lives of those around them... now imagine if it wasn’t a mere dystopian fantasy

I see similarity between snow/lucy and Katniss/gale. “Love” out of neccesary, out of survival. But fundamentally different, leading to an ultimate crack that can never redeem whatever (if any) emotion was there

Sweeney Todd and the black hood from riverdale... very similar

Rereading a book from my younger years.. Gregor the Overlander and the Marks of Secret. (Spoilers). At a younger age the full allusion of the story didn’t hit me, but now being able to recognize that the nibbler’s story played out EXACTLY like those who died in the Holocaust brought me straight to tears. How impressive that a fantastical story of giant animals, prophecies, and purple eyed people can teach a lesson of racism, prejudice, and war.
