I love dystopian books, but so many of them were clearly written to cash in on the hunger games hype, and it's painful.

Very Random Rant, feel free to ignore this. I just have nowhere else to post.

Utopia v.s. Dystopia. It’s been a topic in english class since the dawn of time. But I KNOW that I can’t be the only person who’s had the simple thought that Utopia’s simply don’t exist? I know that logically, there are probably books written to resemble a utopian society, but just stay with me, I have my reasons.

1. Perfect does not exist. To have something be perfect is to not be human. To be perfect is to be robotic, it’s not real. It’s simply not in human nature to be perfect. Everything about our crazy little lives is messy, and that’s just what makes a person human. No perfection = No utopia.

2. Even if perfect did exist, everybody’s idea of it would be different. Because that’s what perfection is, simply a concept. One man’s absolute dream world that seems completely utopian to him, could seem like the worst nightmare of the next person. So if we can’t even agree on what perfect looks like, then how can we agree that it exists at all?

3. We relate to negatives in society better, because, simply put, humans are kind of awful. We are chaos demons that have war, hunger, poverty, illness, crime, hate, and way more. I could go on forever. The reader will not relate to a so-called utopian novel because there is nothing on our planet Earth that can even begin to prove the existence of perfection.

4. The power scale. In dystopian novels, such as The Hunger Games series, Brave New World, The Giver, etc, there is always a feeling of hope. Because that’s what a person feels in a negative situation. A positive feeling. It puts the scale into existence, it offers a counterweights, even if the negative outweighs the positive. Not to mention, that in those three books/series mentioned, the authors always include other ways to help balance the scale. There is positive feelings, like the love between Katniss and Prim. The friendships Katniss makes with the other victors in later books. Jonas saving Gabriel just because he feels. Actually, humanly, feels. The way Helmholtz feels about the written word. John and his Shakespeare. All this positive allows the scale to exist, even though these societies are supposed to represent the worst world the author could have come up with. In Utopias, there isn’t a scale. This is because there is no hope. Hope is the most human feeling of all time, and I can almost guarantee that everybody has felt it at one point or another. But without anything at all negative, there is no reason to hope. Without anything negative at all, there is no way to prove that good is actually good. Good would become the new mediocre. There always has to be at least a little bad, so the scale can be created and we have a way to prove that hope and goodness actually exist.

This is a topic I could rant about for hours, but those are my main points. If anybody has actually read all of this, I’m sorry. IF you couldn’t tell for some reason, dystopian novels are my favourite things ever, and nobody I know in real life likes to read. So I had to share my “profoundness” somewhere.

This post is brought to you by a human, in the middle of the night, who is extremely tired, but couldn’t fall asleep before writing every single one of her thoughts down.

The world is a dystopian novel

Why isn't anyone talking about this? The entire world right now is literally the perfect example of a utopia turned into a living hell and y'all are just ignoring this?????

“Does this pose a moral dilemma for you? Do you find it atrocious?” he asks. “Not at all. The human being is complex and I find the vile acts, contradictions, and sublimities characteristic of our condition astonishing. Our existence would be an exasperating shade of gray if we were all flawless.” // Tender Is the Flesh— Agustina Bazterrica

~ just finished tender is the flesh and it sure did have some commentary on the power of language, individual morals, and corporate greed all wrapped in a fucked up dystopian box. Very interesting read, but absolutely not for the faint of heart

Hello people!

I'm asking you to fill out this questionnaire in order to conduct an investigation into the common imagery surrounding dystopia. My aim is to make my novel as accurate as possible to a vision of the world and society that is not limited. Please, feel free to answer the questions as freely as possible.

Thank you in advance if any of you will do this!!

But Gwen wouldjust say, over and over, You don’t understand” The Resisters Maybe it’s the anthropologist in me, or the countless hours of literary theory upon which professors drilled my peers and I through critical…

Love Letter to Half-Life 2 Beta’s Atmosphere

Half-Life 2 Beta’s atmosphere is one of the perfect examples of horror without relying on cheap tactics. I’ve been exposed to the Beta all the way back from 2018 I think. But 2020-present is where my obssession really kicked off! This also led me to read Dystopian Novels (1984, Fahrenheit 451, etc.) and Artworks like Giger’s.

So yeah, thanks Valve for making the Beta my obssession lol.
