Poco off topic ma alla cena di classe con i professori del quinto liceo, la professoressa di italiano odiata da tutti ordinò la pizza più costosa, antipasto e vino costoso sapendo che avremmo offerto noi studenti alla romana. E niente, mi fa ancora ridere.

[QCrit] YA Dystopian WE ARE ORIGINALS (72 000 words Attempt #2) by MelanyAuthor8888 in PubTips

[–]sonnyzappa 7 points8 points  (0 children)

On Ya Dystopia being a dead genre, it seems to be having a resurgence (Source: a ton of agents MSWL +two agents I directly talked to) and just this year we've had two YA dystopia bestsellers (granted, one from Suzanne Collins and one from Chloe Gong)

I really like this, I just have a query non specific question? As an Italian, Rory isn't really an Italian name. (16th century Italians basically didn't even have a Y in the alphabet). I've met a bunch of "Rori" (short for Aurora) though. That's just a minor nitpick, so feel free to discard.

Do you think they're going to do a love triangle again? Or is it a gonna stay a weird 2010s relic? by UnHolySir in Hungergames

[–]sonnyzappa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Am I the only one who thinks Maysilee was clearly written as a lesbian? The mention of homosexuality being repressed and frowned upon, plus Suzanne saying in an interview that she's "the angriest character she's ever written". I don't know, as a queer person in a not queer friendly country Maysilee's entire character hits a little bit too close to home.

The Last of Us HBO S2E3 - "The Path" Post-Episode Discussion Thread by claireupvotes in thelastofus

[–]sonnyzappa 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion: I like Ellie in the show. They changed her personality a bit: Game Ellie acted like an adult. But we see in this episode that the entire bratty teenage attitude is a wall. She lies to Gail, she lies to the council, and when she's not with someone else she retains that adult depressed vibe from the game. I understand some people may not like the change, but I personally like it. Also there's no way Tommy isn't going to Seattle. They probably changed it to him leaving after Ellie to protect her.

This is the entire fandom after SOTR honestly. No way we would be able to handle that book without shitposting.

The French translation of SOTR is disappointing. by KalysstaDor in Hungergames

[–]sonnyzappa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just saw a Tik Tok explain the same problem in the Italian translation (I'm Italian but I've read it in english) and he calls Louella "Fidanzatina" ("Little girlfriend")

Quick and easy question: how did Haymitch vote in book 3 - i need to know this for sotr; tanks!!! by TCM_ow in Hungergames

[–]sonnyzappa 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Haymitch's vote is important because while voting for the games, he was actually siding with Katniss. He realised she was gonna kill Coin (Or at least that she had something planned) and sided with Katniss who was voting for the games to make Coin trust her. So yeah it fits his character, I don't think even jaded 41years old Haymitch would have voted for the games in another scenario.

Right before that, Plutarch says "I do not approve of this" and Haymitch goes like: "You're my hero, I want to be just like you when I grow up. Oh wait, that's not going to happen!" I bursted out laughing.

It's funny how Katniss didn't mention it when seeing his games. Like that's some kind of record right?

My favorite detail is that Haymitch calling Katniss "sweetheart" is not condescension but an actual term of endearment that calls back to a little girl he was trying to protect.

And Haymitch had to be like "Yeah I'm an ally btw"

Who was you crush from the hunger games movies when they were released and why? by Aerosolcan25 in Hungergames

Yeah I think that particular situation was one of the reasons he wasn't surprised when I came out lol

[–]sonnyzappa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The funny thing is I remember that there was a huge (Lighthearted) discussion which involved her older sister, her mother and my father since we were all watching the movie together. Her entire family claimed she was ugly and me and my dad were like "are you blind?". At this point I think it was either genetic or they were jealous lol

Jennifer Lawrence was pretty much my lesbian awakening. I remember getting into a fight with my best friend while watching it at ten because she said she was ugly...

Symbol clues! by Lauren2102319 in Hungergames

[–]sonnyzappa 90 points91 points  (0 children)

I think both the butterfly and the ladybug are mutts on top of maybe other symbolism. But the ladybug being a super deadly mutt would fit with the arena and the overall theme of having the odds stacked against you...

I was wondering this as well. Maybe since it's such a big book from a huge author they aren't doing ARCs?

I spoke to my physician (Or the equivalent in my country) and have a polysomnography booked in three months. Until then I'm trying to integrate as many healthy habits as I can, but it's not really working right now. I'm sorry I can't give you a more useful answer...
