The Great Unanswered Question:

What the hell happens to every country on the planet that isn’t the US in YA dystopias

#maybe all ya dystopian futures are just highly localised#and every other country is busy doing their thing#’do you think the US will be attending the olympics this year?’#’I don’t know; I think they still have that hell-portal open’#’I’ll put them down as a maybe’ (via archnemeton)

OH MY GOD THE TAG 

Someone should write a book with multiple perspectives, where in one, it’s like a john greenesque story about some teens in love reading about/seeing media casually mentioning the horror occurring but like. They’re just being bland and going to school and having adventures. And in the other it’s teens in love, but everything is terrible and they’re like “the whole world has gone to shit! It’s the end of days!!!” because they don’t know that it’s only them. Kind of like in 28 days later but more sad.

And the oppressed teens could spend the whole time trying to escape the dystopia (while the other teens fight about prom or something)

and when they do finally get free at the end, the oppressed teens can like, casually bump into the other teens at like idk the grocery store or something.

And the two worlds can come together to form some sort of real life lesson like “don’t make fun of North Korea this is actually their situation– and look how shit we look whenever we make light of it.” Or something.

Idk.

Oh it can get a lot worse. What if the remaining government convinces that the whole world is dystopian and staying within the country is the best option and through selective censorship, the population don’t know any better.
