The Victor’s Purge Is Absolutely Something That Just Blows My Mind.

The Victor’s purge is absolutely something that just blows my mind.

The Capitol propaganda against Victors were so effective, even the very people fighting for their freedom turned on them.

During the events of TBOSAS, we learn that the first 10 winners of the Hunger Games received no compensation for their participation in the games. Why would they? They’re nobodies. Reminders of a war that had forced the people of the Capitol to turn on each other, forcing them into such desperate lengths that they had to resort to eating other people just to survive. They were not celebrated like the Victors we recognize in the 75th Hunger Games. They were not victors but survivors. In fact, we learn that not many people wanted to watch the Hunger Games in the beginning. It left a bitter taste in a person’s mouth to watch children fight to the death and have the event sensationalized, even if the child is considered the enemy.

And yet, with Victors being placed on a pedestal after the events of TBOSAS, we saw how quickly the Victors were woven into the Capitol’s society.

Upon winning, Victors were alienated in their own Districts. They were given beautiful mansions, fed three square meals a day, and their families wanted for nothing. They became mentors, becoming active participants in the very Games designed to kill members of their own Districts. Their participation may have been forced but when you smile and wave at cameras and show off your new found wealth, it’s hard to believe you didn’t want these things.

Victors are even further alienated outside of their own Districts with the Victor’s parade. A whole week of traveling through the 12 districts to show off your vitality and strength and your life, the very thing you took from the other tributes in order to survive. Victors did not need to drip themselves with jewels to offend the other Districts, their survival was insult enough. Never mind that you didn’t want to kill these kids. Never mind that you are a child yourself.

Every place you turn, you’re met with jealousy, derision and contempt. No longer the perfect quintessential victim but a killer of children who “benefitted” from the very system designed to oppress you. By winning the Hunger Games you are no longer District.

So you turn to the one place that showers you with any hint of adoration.

Ingratiating themselves into the Capitol’s society cemented their identity as Other. They may live in the Distrcts, may be forced to subject themselves in horrors that are far worse than any modicum of starvation they faced in the Districts, but they are no longer one of them.

And so the Rebels forget who exactly they’re fighting for, forgot who actually experienced the horror they could only dread.

Yes, they are fighting against their own oppression. Yes, they fight for their child’s right to live and never play in the Games. But they forget about the 59 other Victors who actually went through the horrors they’re fighting against. They forget about the biggest victims of the system they are fighting against.

Snow alienated Victors from the rest of the Districts so much that of the surviving 59 Victors before the events of Mockingjay, only 7 come out alive.

7 out of 59.

There’s not even enough of them to distribute one to every district.

The biggest victims of the Capitol’s oppression also became the biggest victims of the rebel’s war.

lets be honest here, no matter how many compliments kevin has gotten in his life, he never ever gets used to them, especially if they’re about anything other than exy or his looks. anytime anyone compliments how smart he is or says something nice about his outfit or personality or whatever, he turns as red as a goddamn tomato and you know it. and the cutest thing is he’d like ?? try to hide it ??? but he’s blushing. i know it you know it oprah winfrey knows it obama knows it the aliens know it. we all know it.

kevin calling wymack dad? love it. kevin begins to call him dad often enough that the foxes accidentally do it too? LOVE that. i feel like kevin might be embarrassed about calling him dad in front of the others at first, but then they would all call him dad to make him feel better. bonus points if someone says "coach dad"

supporting kevin as he figures out how to have a dad is so important and good thank u for thisImagine how Wymack gets choked up the first time he hears Kevin call him “Dad.” It’s too fast and too loud because Kevin had to psyche himself up to do it and everyone stares for a second because Kevin just shouted the word “DAD” across the courtKevin’s face is bright red and he knows he was planning to say something after that but he can’t rememberWymack coughs and makes sure his expression is properly grumpy and says, calm as he can, “Yeah, son?”(They get back to practice but Renee pauses to clasp Kevin’s arm on her way to the goal) (ALSO once all the Foxes are used to calling Wymack dad they do it all the time. The Foxes lying around the meeting room thing in the court while Wymack is trying to get work done in his office and just going “Dad. Dad. Coach Dad. Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaad. Dad come out here,”Wymack stomps into the room, shaking a fistful of papers, and shouts that only one of them is actually related to him so they all can get out and leave him alone. He grumbles at them to eat a proper dinner before they go. Can’t have his athletes falling over in the middle of a game because they don’t know how to feed themselves.They’re annoying, but they’re his kids, so what can he do?)

The Hate You Give

Not to be affiliated by the movie (even though that movie was amazing and so eye-opening)

Imagine this: you had a hard day at work, you’re pretty exhausted. You open up your phone before you go to bed ‘cause it’s has been blowing up all day with Tumblr, (or Twitter/Instagram) messages and asks. You open the app and the smile on your face quickly dissolves into pure and utter disbelief and sadness.

You’re disgusting.

I don’t like ________ about you.

Do you hang out with __________? Stop hanging out with them.

I hate you.

I’m unfollowing.

I can’t believe you did this. How could you?

I can’t believe you said that. How could you?

We made you famous. You owe us.

You’re ugly. You’re too skinny. You’re too fat. You’re this. You’re that.

You’re gross.

You posted this 10 years ago on your Twitter, you’re sexist, racist, homophobic, you’re ________.

And just like that, you’re questioning yourself. You hate this or that about yourself. You can’t stand to look at yourself. Maybe you should stop hanging out with this person or maybe you should stop doing this-

You are Joshua Rush.

You are Kevin Hart.

You are Ariana Grande.

You are Tom Hiddleston.

You are that girl who’s scared to go to school because those girls in your English class might hurt you again.

You are that one boy who’s scared to come out because nobody accepts that idea in your school and so you know you’ll be hated.

You are everyone and anyone who’s ever been hated on.

And that is not okay. Saying those things are not okay. Hiding behind a screen and yelling digital slurs at a human being is not okay. Saying those things directly to a person is not okay. It hasn’t been okay in the past, it won’t be okay now and it won’t be okay tomorrow. So fn stop. Stop being cowards.

Don’t forget that under all that hair and skin, you have the same make-up, you are a human. Act like it.

Hurting another human being to the point where they have to take a break from social media is not okay. Hurting another human being to the point that they think twice before they say something or even do something is NOT okay.

A fact: celebrities don’t owe you anything. It is not their fault you liked their content, that is on you. They don’t need to act on your beck and call so stop telling them what to do or not to do. Joshua Rush doesn’t need to stop hanging out with Ethan Wacker. He doesn’t need to stop having political beliefs. He’s just a kid, let him live his life. The bad jokes that Kevin Hart made ten years ago don’t define him, he’s a changed man. If he wants to host the Oscars, let him. If Finn Wolfhard refuses to autograph something, he doesn’t have to because he has no obligation too. Like I said before, he’s just a kid and doesn’t have to do anything but live his life.

And here’s another fact: for every millions of praising comments a person receives, it’s that one hateful comment that sticks by them. It’s that one comment that catapults them into hurt and depression. That is the cold hard fact.

So think hard the next time you spurt out something that is ugly and awful because you might be making that smile disappear, you might be hurting someone deeply, you might be pushing someone over the edge.

Change your ways.

Be kinder.

Understand.

Appreciate and praise more.

Support and protect.

Please reblog so more people understand that this is not okay. And so the haters understand that they need to step back and reflect on their damn actions because this shit is getting out of hand.

☕️and I think that the foxes winning the championship thing and literally going from zero to hero was a lot of Kevin’s doing. Of course it was team work but i mean they thanked Neil like a 100 times for bringing the team together which ist completely valid but Kevin did a lot on the training part , the raven drills etc but ok I could talk forever about Kevin not being appreciated enough ☕️

YES YES YES YES YES

Kevin did so much for them but all they want to focus on is Neil 😤
