Katniss and Peeta from Hunger Games

I love when platonic love and romantic love is so blurred that it doesn’t even matter anymore. All that matters is the devotion that’s there, the unwavering devotion

I rediscovered those hunger games simulators…

SOTR spoilers

As a Hayffie shipper (Lenore Dove rocks I just still love hayffie) I love the fact that SOTR has established that Effie is like six years older than Haymitch. Because I’ve always imagined in my head that after the rebellion the two of them get married and have babies (I know it’s not canon let me dream) and now I know that the children conversation would go something like this:

Effie: Haymitch, dear, I’ve been wondering…how would you feel about having children?

Haymitch: *bewildered* Effie you’re forty-eight.

And then Effie gets super offended at Haymitch’s implication that she’s too old to have kids, while Haymitch just gets increasingly confused because the absolute oldest woman to have kids in Twelve was forty-five when she gave birth, and he always just assumed that after that point it was impossible for a woman to get pregnant. Anyway, they still have kids with the help of fertility treatments and live happily ever after the end.

How I picture Lenore Dove

So uh I just realised something

ARCANE SEASON 2 ACT 3 SPOILERS

I will say I disliked jinxs ambiguous ending at first purely bc I wanted to know if she's alive or not however I realised it's similar to Lucy Gray Bairds end.

I haven't watched a ballad of songbirds and snakes however I do know that it's never revealed if Lucy Gray actually died or not. And it is that way for a reason, to show that whether dead or alive she is free from snow, the games and panems archaic system. It is to show that ultimately freedom in life or death is the greatest revenge or gift you can give.

Jinx had that whole conversation with Silco about breaking the cycle of death and how it can only be broken if you walk away. She obviously kept that in mind and the writers wanted us to keep that in mind.

Jinxs ambiguous ending is to show us that the sisters can only be truly at peace if they are not in each other's lives. We saw that in the alternate reality ekko was in. They cannot live and grow and heal if they are in each other's lives. Some relationships cannot be repaired and sometimes the greatest gift you can give someone is leaving them no matter the pain.

Edit:

Lucy's ambiguous end is to show us that your freedom and silence can be the biggest revenge towards someone who hurt you.

Jinxs ambiguous end shows us that sometimes the greatest gift you can give to someone you love is your absence as your relationship hurts the both of you

AHHHH THE WRITERS CANNOT LET US BE HAPPY

just found out that after peeta and katniss have the favorite color convo, they gradually start wearing each other’s favorite colors in the film…i cry

since everyone’s getting back into the hunger games, i just wanna say this. if i was katniss talking to hijacked peeta, i wouldn’t have been able to take the stuff he said. “snow said everything that comes out of your mouth is a lie.” my response would be “didn’t snow bomb your family? but you’re gonna listen to him right…” i seriously would not have been able to be sensitive in that situation. peeta was fed lies and kept spewing them out with no filter. yes i understand, he was ill and not in his right mind. i’m just putting myself in katniss’ shoes. girl was forced to be some symbol for the rebellion, to play a role constantly, to be a leader and all she wanted to do was survive. then after dealing with that, the guy she loves comes back to her totally brainwashed and tries to kill her. i would’ve been done with everything. i don’t know how katniss didn’t just spazz out on people.

i hope i haunt everyone who did me wrong like lucy gray haunted coriolanus. you will remember me and all the good i brought to your life then you will remember that you lost me.

@sanktalina’s edit exchange; for @jostensminyards ↳ THE HUNGER GAMES by SUZANNE COLLINS

the hunger games films tore out the books teeth. like it does the series such a disservice when it stands for nothing, says nothing, passes no judgement.. katniss speaks so plainly in the books about what she thinks of the capital. of what they do to her and her family and the districts. of the different worlds she witnesses as she’s straddled between 12 and the capital.. she calls it barbaric. she calls it disgusting and wrong and horrifying, over and over, and the films were like how do we market this teen romance.

I think the Hunger Games series sits in a similar literary position to The Lord of the Rings, as a piece of literature (by a Catholic author) that sparked a whole new subgenre and then gets blamed for flaws that exist in the copycat books and aren’t actually part of the original.

Like, despite what parodies might say, Katniss is nowhere near the stereotypical “unqualified teenager chosen to lead a rebellion for no good reason”.  The entire point is that she’s not leading the rebellion. She’s a traumatized teenager who has emotional reactions to the horrors in her society, and is constantly being reined in by more experienced adults who have to tell her, “No, this is not how you fight the government, you are going to get people killed.” She’s not the upstart teenager showing the brainless adults what to do–she’s a teenager being manipulated by smarter and more experienced adults. She has no power in the rebellion except as a useful piece of propaganda, and the entire trilogy is her straining against that role. It’s much more realistic and far more nuanced than anyone who dismisses it as “stereotypical YA dystopian” gives it credit for.

And the misconceptions don’t end there. The Hunger Games has no “stereotypical YA love triangle”–yes, there are two potential love interests, but the romance is so not the point. There’s a war going on! Katniss has more important things to worry about than boys! The romance was never about her choosing between two hot boys–it’s about choosing between two diametrically opposed worldviews. Will she choose anger and war, or compassion and peace? Of course a trilogy filled with the horrors of war ends with her marriage to the peace-loving Peeta. Unlike some of the YA dystopian copycats, the romance here is part of the message, not just something to pacify readers who expect “hot love triangles” in their YA. 

The worldbuilding in the Hunger Games trilogy is simplistic and not realistic, but unlike some of her imitators, Collins does this because she has something to say, not because she’s cobbling together a grim and gritty dystopia that’s “similar to the Hunger Games”. The worldbuilding has an allegorical function, kept simple so we can see beyond it to what Collins is really saying–and it’s nothing so comforting as “we need to fight the evil people who are ruining society”. The Capitol’s not just the powerful, greedy bad guys–the Capitol is us, First World America, living in luxury while we ignore the problems of the rest of the world, and thinking of other nations largely in terms of what resources we can get from them. This simplistic world is a sparsely set stage that lets us explore the larger themes about exploitation and war and the horrors people will commit for the sake of their bread and circuses, meant to make us think deeper about what separates a hero from a villain.

There’s a reason these books became a literary phenomenon. There’s a reason that dozens upon dozens of authors attempted to imitate them. But these imitators can’t capture that same genius, largely because they’re trying to imitate the trappings of another book, and failing to capture the larger and more meaningful message underneath. Make a copy of a copy of a copy, and you’ll wind up with something far removed from the original masterpiece. But we shouldn’t make the mistake of blaming those flaws on the original work.

been studying seneca a little bit in school the last few semesters and i was like hmm that name sounds familiar i must have heard of him before

nope gurl it was the hunger games

holy trinity of haymitch is just like katniss-isms

aint that the lil guy from the hunger games ?

Johanna: Annie's eyes are blue?

Finnick: They're a sea green, more aquamarine than blue.

Johanna: When was the last time she smiled?

Finnick: This morning, we were talking about starfish.

Johanna: When's my birthday?

Finnick:

Johanna: When's my birthday, Finnick?

Annie Cresta really was that girl. She had the living legend and sex symbol of Panem Finnick Odair, whom everyone in the nation wanted so hopelessly in love with her that he could not function at all and had to be sedated numerous times when she was taken by the Capitol.

the funniest part of mockingjay was when Gale was like, ‘omg Katniss, Finnick totally has a crush on you,’ and the poor guy was loosing his mind being away from Annie

I think it’s kind of funny how coin (who obviously wanted peeta rescued from the arena instead of katniss) doesn’t see what an absolute nightmare he would be for her to deal with if she left katniss in that arena

Like she thinks katniss was hard to deal with/manipulate/control after she left peeta behind? Peeta would’ve had her whole district eating out to the palm of his hand before she even realized who she was dealing with. She thought katniss was too single minded/stubborn about her focus on saving peeta over the revolution itself? He would have been her absolute nightmare (and I adore him for it)

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

I love that in Catching fire Katniss comes to the conclusion the other tributes are trying to keep Peeta alive because they must see how amazingly perfectly wonderful he is. When in actuality that’s just her having a crush and everyone else recognizing that if Peeta gets hurt Katniss will go fully feral and unhinged and probably try to kill everyone and then herself.
