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.

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.

maybe another reason why joo won and dong sik’s relationship in beyond evil is so bizarrely healing is because i think neither of them expected to be loved so genuinely, to be known so genuinely and loved for it anyways. lee dong sik, who puts on an act and parades himself around as the nutjob of manyang, discovered so wholly by han joo won as a sad man who simply lost everything–someone who’s a little bit ruined, maybe, someone who truly isn’t all put together, and instead of running in the other direction, han joo won runs headlong into danger with baton swinging and a promise to never make lee dong sik go through hell again. and for han joo won, who claims that he doesn’t need people and that he doesn’t trust people and that he’s ultimately better off alone–someone who’s internalized the fact that he is a monster who can’t even hold onto anyone’s hands, who can’t ever make the first move or reach out to grab onto someone, is so quickly recognized by lee dong sik, who pulls out a chair for him at the table and who reprimands him for carrying the guilt alone and who tells him to eat well, sleep well …
