I warned you all that I was going to start Hunger Games Posting without irony or shame in 2020 and here it is:

People forget that “there was a romance in this book” was a twist ending in the first one. Like, that’s a surprise to the protagonist in the final pages. In the movies the romance is mostly acknowledged as genuine throughout it but in the books it’s presented to the protagonist and the audience as Fake Dating Trope and it’s not until the very end that they’re like “oh by the way nobody told Peeta it was Fake Dating”

Why he light skinned?

[yourladyindank]

Because Martin Luther was white and German.

[fancynewaddress]

[lookwhathappenedtomack]

I suspect they confused him with Martin Luther King

[lets-talk-about-sects]

Oh no

[the-golden-ghost]

I mean, I get mixing them up based on names alone, but I’m concerned about the people who think Martin Luther King Jr. routinely wrote with a quill or dressed like a Renaissance man.

2020 gothic

- you join a zoom call. everyone’s mic is muted, but no one is talking anyway. you stare at the squares with faces in them. which is your face? you can’t be sure.

- the news is full of numbers. you try to learn what they mean, but the articles are full of jargon from fields you have no experience in, and you swear the numbers change when you blink. 

- you wake up. you sleep. you wake up. you sleep. how many days was that? you have no idea.

- you go for a walk. a shadow follows you down the street, moving when you move, stopping when you stop. always the recommended six feet away.

- every day you get several emails from corporations you’ve never heard of. each company name sounds fake, too vague, too optimistic. “Stay healthy! :)” they say. “We’re committed to keeping you safe! You must stay healthy! We love you very much! We learned everything about you so we can keep you safe! Please believe us we love you so much we’ r e  , s 0Rry:):)):))”  You try to unsubscribe, but the link just takes you to a blank black webpage. Suddenly, you can make out your reflection in the screen. What’s that over your shoulder?

- you’ve been wearing the same clothes for days, but somehow there is laundry.

[liketherazor]

So not knowing the reference, i googled “Russian witch house” and I’ll be damned. Turns out that’s a whole genre of music.
