Someone has to leave first. This is a very old story. There is no other version of this story.

suzanne collins killing prim after everything katniss did to save her………. THATS how you write a story about the brutality and futility of war ma'am thats what we call a compelling and fucked up narrative yessums thats storytelling babes!!!!
Tumblr user @books—and-cleverness adds a quote from an interview with the author of the book:
« That was one of the first questions I asked her when we sat down: ‘Did you always know that [Prim] was going to die?’ And she said, ‘Oh yeah, of course, that’s the whole point.’ » (x)

the worst fictional deaths are actually the ones you see coming, where there is enough foreshadowing that you have time to hope, against all odds, that the character will survive, even as you realise that there’s no way out this time, they’re not going to make it, this was always how it was going to end.

Let me be clear: every version of this story
Ends with you being slaughtered.

This is why people cry at the movies: because everybody’s doomed. No one in a movie can help themselves in any way. Their fate has already staked its claim on them from the moment they appear onscreen.

when christian horner said everyone was sad to see daniel leave and daniel still jokes around with the rb mechanics and they cheered his podiums for renault up on the fucking fence like he was their beloved comrade and cyril and other renault higher ups said daniel immediately went to their team and got super close with his mechanics and engineers and when the factory heard they’d signed him cyril said he’d never seen such a “wave of happiness” from everyone and from the moment he stepped into the factory everyone was impacted by daniel’s energy, his smile. and that tells me all i need to know about mclaren tbh

i don’t think people understand the pain of reading a slow burn romance book that ends with “ his body was never found”. i have never been this hurt.
