Why does Drinian have a globe? 🌍

Isn't Narnia canonically flat? 🗺️

Isn't that definitively established in This Very Book? 🤔

We don’t have any of the large predators we used to (black bears, mountain lions, or gray wolves) but still retain large deer populations. If nothing is removing animals, they’ll quickly overload the carrying capacity of the environment and have massive losses to starvation and disease that can also pass on to livestock. Human hunters replace the large predators that our landscape can no longer support.

It’s kinder to euthanize an un-releasable hawk rather than try to find it a permanent home with humans. Wildlife rehabs have extremely limited space and resources and are usually run entirely on donated money and volunteer time. Only a few are large and stable enough to care for permanent residents long-term, and those spots are few and far between.

An invasive species poses a danger to threatened native wildlife. I will admit- Australian possums are adorable. But not in New Zealand, where they’re an invasive species that eats the eggs of ground-dwelling birds that previously had no such predators. The landowners I worked with replanting native bush, all native Maori, had no qualms about setting the dogs on them.

When wolf populations increase, deer populations decrease, which in turn causes a decrease in wolf population, that causes an increase in deer, which will then increase the wolf population.

When wolves were reintroduced into yellowstone, both flora and fauna massively bounced back because elk were no longer ruining the environment, including beavers, which in turn brought back creatures that exist in mutualism with Beaver dams and pools.

Keystone Species are massively important to ecological health

thank a big predator today

oooh this is a good question!!

I believe that Tigris found out about Lucy Gray, about Dean Highbottom, and most definitely about Sejanus.

I don't think it was all at once though. We know that Coriolanus tells his cousin pretty much everything (the kiss with Lucy Gray, the death/murder of Bobbin, things like that), and that Tigris tells him pretty much everything back. Coriolanus acknowledges the sacrifices Tigris made to help him, and while he is grateful for that, he also sees himself as the primary caretaker of the family and is weirdly protective of her, ex. his reaction the conversation about possible prostitution in the first few pages, how she mustn't tell people what she thinks of the games, things like that.

Coriolanus sees Tigris as one of the only ties to his childhood. His protector, his cousin, his only true confident. He sees these differently than her. Tigris had to grow up fast, and her care for Coriolanus is more of a motherly love than something siblingish or friendship like.

So, Tigris sees the more "soft" side of Coriolanus. She says that the games changed him (she's right), and she was willing to accept that. But I think that Tigris also thought that he wouldn't ever intentionally hurt anyone, or at least not in anything that wasn't self defense.

She was for sure surprised to hear about Dean Highbottom. In her eyes, her little cousin would have no reason to do it. He probably told her a few weeks after the news of his death came out. In all honesty, I don't think she thought about it too much then, except maybe to worry about the repercussions. But she would have justified it to herself at least a bit.

Next, however, was probably at the next Hunger Games. Because of the general consciousness that Lucy Gray would be back, she probably asked him why she wasn't. I don't think Coriolanus would tell her immediately, but after twisting the story some like he does it would all come out. But Tigris had met Lucy Gray before, and I don't think she would buy the story he told her and the other version he most likely told everyone else. She would start having doubts right about now, and start questioning other things.

Sejanus would be the final straw. She knows Mrs. Plinth, she knew Sejanus, and she had seen how easily Coriolanus had lied to everybody. This would also be after the 11th hunger games, so after Coriolanus was (basically) a gamemaker and she could have seen what he truly thinks of the games. All 3 kills/attempted kills would've been way too many in her mind. She would start to question everything he did after that, and I don't thinks she would truly feel safe with him ever again.

I don't know how she would have gotten him to confess to Sejanus, because I don't think it was something he would take lightly. He is careful about his alcohol intake (as we know from the first chapter & posca), so that's not very likely. My best guess is he may have felt guilty about it, something spooked him, or he just fessed up and Tigris happened to be there. Either way, I truly believe that was her final straw.

She would have moved in with her boss (Fabricia) as a more serious apprentice, where she would have learned about the trends and more detailed guides to fashion. She would know that helping Plurbuis was too risky and close to Coriolanus. Eventually, and most likely with help from the Plinths for at least a bit, she would have bought her own store, or inherited Fabricia's once she died. I believe she did always have faith in Coriolanus becoming president, especially after the stunt in District 12, but now she also knew how ruthless he could be so she built the bunker and used it for clothes.

She most likely kept in touch until the 50th hunger games, when twice as many kids died. She had a heart, and as mentioned was genuinely sweet, and I don't think she could handle that her Coryo was part of this monstrosity. If not then, then the aftermath of the 74th hunger games, with Katniss and Peeta. Maybe she cut contact immediately, but I think she's smarter than that. She knew Coriolanus would make the connection quickly and I don't think she would think he would have hesitated.

I don't think Coriolanus ever thought that his cousin would betray him. He has that air to him that he knows everyone is just pawns, but not those he doesn't want to be. He holds a special connection to her, but unlike Lucy Gray, who he stopped loving very fast, he never had any true confirmation that Tigris betrayed him so there was never a reason for him to stop loving her like the other way around.

Here is another that I heard: Tigris did the whole Hunger Games and costume design thing with apprehension. She hated the games, but loved her cousin. If he was doing it, it couldn’t be all that bad, right? Until one day, she has a child. The theory that I have heard is that for some reason, Coriolanus stole the child and raised them as his own. This is when Tigris turned on the Capitol. (Poetically, it makes sense because the whole series is about how children should be protected, but are often the victims of war.)

In the first book it is immediately established that district was kind of abandoned by the capitol. They simple didn't care much for it. The people were poor and sick and dying like flies. As long as the coal was delivered it didn't really matter what was going on over there, they couldn't do much anyway.

Katniss wasn't the only one breaking capitol rules. Matter of fact, even the capitol placed peacekeepers didn't care much for them and even district 12s mayor broke the rules occasionally. If Snow really did care that much for what was going on in there he wouldve probably started by replacing the peacekeepers and made sure the mayor knew to behave. That way he couldve easily shut everything down. (he probably wouldnt even have to go that far. All he'd have to do was turn the electricity in the fence on).

Surprise! He actually did all that in the second book, when he first fully noticed Katniss and saw her as the threat she could be. He immediately changed all the peacekeepers and made the environment much stricter.

The reason why he knew all of the stuff she was doing behind the capitols back was bc he let the old peacekeepers that broke the rules be tortured. They probably told him all about it before they got turbed into avoxes.

Katniss going hunting and singing songs in district 12 while being mostly alone wasn't a threat at all. She had no desire to openly oppose the Capitol, she only talked bad about them when she and Gale were far away from the District in some abandoned forest and even then she was incredibly careful. There was nothing rebelious about her, if her sister wouldn't have been reaped she wouldve stayed her whole life in District 12 trying to do her best to feed her family.

Even if Snow was aware of her existence and knew what she was doing and saw it as a threat to the capitol that he wanted to distinguish, why would he give her any platform at all? Like, if he knew that her sister was important he would've also known that she would most likely volunteer for her. If you ask me, a rebelious person on the big screens with a huge audience that was supposed to love her, root for her and watch her every step was far worse than some lone girl in the ass crack of panem selling squirrels. Its like poking a hornets nest.
