I’ve noticed that Tumblr is the only platform that widely acknowledges the fact that Katniss, Gale, and Haymitch were severely whitewashed in the films. On Twitter I’ve seen people get downright offended at the mention of Katniss being Indigenous, mixed, or simply non-white. I’ve seen people say that people with olive skin can be white and yes that’s true, but Jennifer Lawrence does not have olive skin which still makes her casting inaccurate.

I think this is because Twitter and TikTok focuses on videos, images, and short blurbs of writing - which caters to the movies. It’s the only visual representation of the books outside of fanart. Tumblr allows users to write long think pieces and the books are the primary reference instead of the movies. I’ve only seen the books mentioned outside of Tumblr when talking about Peeta’s characterization and missing lines in the movies. BookTok has also opened discussion of Katniss being non-white but otherwise non-white Katniss is generally not well received outside of Tumblr. Even fanart of Katniss with darker skin isn’t regularly distributed outside of Tumblr.

It’s disheartening but unsurprising. I mean, back when the first movie was released people were outraged that Rue was Black even though it was explicitly referenced multiple times. I just remember being in middle school and obsessed with the books and so excited when the movies were announced, and I was really disappointed with the casting of Katniss because I always imagined her as non-white like myself. Katniss is also supposed to be short and small in stature so that was difficult for me to grasp but I’m glad Jennifer didn’t pressure herself to lose weight for the role (she mentioned this in an interview). I think Jennifer and Woody did great in their roles, and Liam did good with what he was given, but I don’t see them as Katniss, Haymitch and Gale when reading the books or fanfiction. I remember Suzanne saying in an interview that the Katniss she imagines doesn’t exist, but Jennifer is close enough. I’m really curious to know how she imagines Katniss beyond the general descriptors of olive skin, dark hair, and grey eyes.

I’m also genuinely glad that Rachel Zegler is playing Lucy Gray Baird. She has tanner skin, which is great. However, the unfortunate reality is that she’s still “white enough” to be palatable to a white audience.

Veronica McNamara

⊱────────────────────⊰

⊱───────────────⊰

OC for my Inheritance Games fanfiction, I wouldn't marry me, Either

Face Claim: Rachel Zegler

⊱───────────────⊰

Full Name ; Veronica McNamara

Nicknames : Vero, Vee (Alisa), Miss Sawyer (Jameson), Sweetheart (Mrs. Laughlin), Lady Justice (Xander), Roni (Elias), Vanessa (Skye)

Age : 24 (September 1st, Virgo ♍)

Occupation : Lawyer for McNamara, Ortega, and Jones || Business employer for Avery Kylie Grambs

Height : 144 cm

Color Palette : Latte brown, cream white, neutral green tones

° • ° • ° • ° • °

PERSONALITY

Veronica is a neutral positive kind of person, in a similar way to Alisa in terms of personal views— but that's where their similarities end.

Veronica is notably more optimistic than Alisa, if only by a bit; While she takes her job as a lawyer very seriously, it's generally accepted by Alisa and their other colleague — Elias Jones — that she's the most upbeat about having to wake up excruciatingly early to work at her parent's law firm with nothing to keep her awake outside of an excessive amount of caffeine.

RELATIONSHIPS

Alisa Ortega — Besties. They've been attached to the hip since childhood due to their parents working together!

Elias Jones(OC) — Really close friends! They met during their college days, and thanks to their parents being colleagues at their law firm, she, Elias, and Alisa have been closer than ever!

Nash Hawthorne — Kinda doesn't know how to feel about Nash ever since he and Alisa broke up, as they were her first exposure to what a relationship should be like, other than her parents. But other than that, she and Nash get along just fine. She still kinda holds out hope for him and Lee-Lee </3

Avery Kylie Grambs — Positive neutral, at best. Veronica sees Avery a lot less compared to Alisa, and she only visits Hawthorne House when it concerns threats against Avery's life; Avery's grown to be on friendly terms with Veronica after the incident in the Blackwood.

TRIVIA

LIKES : Coffee, picnics, dog walking, pal-lentines day, journaling, croquet, high fashion boutiques

DISLIKES : Waking up early, oversleeping, sleepwalking, anything remotely athletic (croquet is her exception), Skye Hawthorne /j

HOBBIES : Dog walking, journaling, crocheting, reading

Has a pet corgi named Heather

Is called ‘Miss Sawyer’ due to sharing a name with Veronica from Heathers

Is closest to Xander, out of all the Hawthorne brothers!

The youngest of the M, O, J trio! Elias is only two years older, while Alisa is 3-4 years older than her

Just a giant Heathers reference /j (If Veronica is Green for Duke, Alisa is Red for Chandler, and Elias is Yellow for McNamara which is funny since Veronica's the one with the last name McNamara)

Has five cups of coffee a day (Alisa is notably concerned, and it might've rubbed off on Xander)

During her high school days, she attended Heights Country Day with Elias, albeit not at the same time

Studied in Yale University with a degree in Law; Majoring in Political science and government, Minoring in Cognitive science

Thoughts From My Community Rewatch

Abed is the sanest one because he actually thinks things through

Britta honestly had all the potential to be one of the smartest characters but they just turned her into a dumb blonde

Shirley's huge bag thing is annoying and I refuse to research the reason behind it

It's weird that the group is against Annie and Jeff but supports Britta and Troy

They really gloss over Annie's drug addiction and Shirley's alcoholism even more

Britta and Troy was bottom tier relationship -- no chemistry

The Changesia arc was actually funny

Abed's timeline theory was so interesting

I genuinely enjoyed the paintball episodes

The Dean was one of the best supporting characters

I never understood Shirley's desire to be valedictorian when she wanted to be an entrepreneur

Abed and Rachel (coat check girl) should have had more screentime and been endgame

Leonard's sporadic screentime was always funny

Troy and Abed are one of the best bff duos on tv ever and adding Annie made them a great trio

They had some of the most entertaining bottle episodes

Ok, if you, like me, were in the minority of people who didn’t immediately fall in love with One Dark Window… like, the consistent rave reviews popping up on various algorithms have been simultaneously confusing and making you feel very left out? Well, I’ve got news!

In my humble opinion, Two Twisted Crowns (book 2) is mostly a total knock out. I obvi gotta sit with it longer (I just finished at 3am)… revisit some exceptional quotes that left ya girl blushing (dresses were almost ripped).

Duologies can feel like such a mercy in the fantasy space and looking at the series as a whole, i’d now happily recommend it to anyone not looking to tackle a new 3-6 book series/investment at this time. Also a good one for newbies to the genre. It also isn’t just another copy-paste SJM variant and that almost feels like a rarity with the big new releases.

Book one, I really struggled with the messy (albeit cool on the surface) magic system, the constant rhyme thing felt really hokey and made me struggle to get into the writing (which is mostly very good), the MCs were outshined by the side characters and just weren’t really my type, and the pacing is so odd like - sometimes so slow and sometimes so fast - it’s like, “Wait hi, I need more info please.”

25% into book 2 I genuinely thought, “I think more has already happened in this book than in all of book 1.” And that’s when I realized I was hooked and in for a late night.

Book two is action-packed and the plot is operating on so many levels - thanks in part to more povs. Ironically, part of me was like so grateful I had read book one, even if I didn’t like it, so I “knew the rules,” and could run along this faster-paced, more ambitious book 2.

Obviously I think the magic system, and general world building, was infinitely more successful in TTC. Gillig just used the framework and the lore with a higher level of craft and focus. We scaled back on the goofy rhymes - tho not entirely lol. But I credit the attention paid to the world/magic as a big part to why I read this whole thing in an evening! It felt like a really unsatisfying missing piece from ODW and, clearly, with that amended I more than liked it! I got that unmistakable all-consuming euphoric rush that only binging a great fantasy can give you.

*spoilers ahead*

I would also be fully lying if I said that what made this book work for me wasn’t just… the big focus on Elm and Ione. Yes, I had to google that name pronunciation for my own sanity at a certain point. But within their plot, in particular, I was like “ok, now this is what I call a magic system.” I have no idea why this same concept was just utilized and pulled off so much more successfully in their narrative arc… but it was. I still liked the odyssey into the woods with Ravyn and the Nightmare, but I fully credit Elm and Ione for making me love this book. Did I miss Elspeth a lot… I plead the fifth.

The Elm-Ione romance had everything I was missing in ODW! Like hot, hot tension. Sexy build up. And idk their growth and stories and strength genuinely made THIS tender little reader shed a tear. Their dynamic felt really honest and fresh and different. I’ve been getting a little burnt out by copy and paste romantic plots, in fantasy in particular, so these two took me by surprise. Yeah, I was just kind of floored by their romantic journey.

What can I say, I’m weak for an emotionally intelligent boy who can communicate his need to be topped (and like traumas and other things). Some of their build up tension scenes had me blushing the hardest any book has made me blush in 2023. RIP OFF THAT DRESS BABY!!!

Anyway, if you felt gaslit by the hype around ODW, but you already read it, I’m hear to say that TTC is more than worth it. You’ve already made it that far, what do you have to lose?

Unless your me who is going to be feeling that decision to not go tf to bed!
