Yes, I am a straight man. Yes, getting the shit beat out of me in an all-male mosh pit is an erotic experience for me. We exist

When I was in Norway at the Gojira show a guy in the pit grabbed me & said “open your mouth”

And I did

He suspected (correctly) that I was dehydrated & was judging by the color of my tongue

But I fully heard “open your mouth” & thought “wow this stranger is going to spit in my mouth”

And then, naturally, I thought “well let’s see where he’s going with this”

very scary and compelling look into the story of dracula if he were evil. a lot to think about

if i were in charge of star wars i would end the last movie witth yoda reading the story out of a big book and he gives a little chuckle and says "happened, none of that did." and then he gets out of his truck and waddles into walmart

foreshadowing done well makes me go feral like there’s NOTHING better than getting to the end a book or an important storyline moment and realising that the author laced information so intricately into their writing that weren’t noticeable upon first read but when you read back sections they’re light giant red flags like wow writing is amazing

the best stories contain two stories: the one you read the first time, and the one you read every time after that

Theseus and Ariadne, Victors of the 74th Hunger Games

Theseus and Ariadne, Victors of the 74th Hunger Games

“I was such a huge Greek mythology geek as a kid, it’s impossible for it not to come into play in my storytelling. The connection to the myth of Theseus happened immediately. As a young prince of Athens, he participated in a lottery that required seven girls and seven boys to be taken to Crete and thrown into a labyrinth to be destroyed by the Minotaur. In one version of the myth, this excessively cruel punishment resulted from the Athenians opposing Crete in a war. Sometimes the labyrinth’s a maze, sometimes it’s an arena.”   — Suzanne Collins 

Since the showdown with Cato is coming up, I think it’s time to get into this meta I’ve been sitting on for a couple of weeks. I am also a mythology geek and I can’t help but see lots of connections to the Theseus myth throughout The Hunger Games and Catching Fire (Mockingjay gets harder to pin down as regards myths—though I have a theory it deviates more into European and American gothic novels and folkloric connections—but we’ll revisit that one when we get there). I’ll be referencing Edith Hamilton’s Mythology if you’re interested in reading the whole story. I’m gonna bold the highlights cause this is a LONG post and also I apologize for inevitable typos. 

omg you’re so right!!!! the Beetee as Daedalus parallels work soooo much now that we know about Ampert!!!!! it’s Icarus!!!
