im rereading catching fire before reading sunrise on the reaping and there’s a little detail i didnt remember and it is that haymitch was sending the other victors messages through bread in the arena, so finnick was very fixated on any bread that arrived. but katniss of course doesnt know this so she’s just kind of annoyed by it, like finnick is counting the little rolls to figure out the message and katniss just goes “finnick and his fucking bread again🙄🙄”

I constantly feel the need to remind other hunger games fans that District 12 is Appalachia. The folk music and blue grass that the covey sing are meant to sound like old folk music about coal miners. The fact that there mostly coal miners there is a big thing too it means that they live high in the mountains. They are poor and impoverished much like Appalachia. I feel like anyone that says it's not is just flat wrong because it's stated in Chapter 3 page 40 of THG.

can’t believe Suzanne Collins had Wyatt Callow, who knew the odds of all the tributes’ deaths better than his own name, die protecting Lou Lou, who he statistically knew wouldn’t make it anyway. had Louella McCoy, who was immediately ready to try and stick it to the capital any way she could in the games, die before she even reached the arena. had Maysilee Donner, who constantly talked back, who wanted to die with her head up, who didn’t want to be treated like an animal by the capital, die mangled on the ground after having her vocal chords ripped out by a capital-manufactured bird. had Haymitch Abernathy, who from the moment he learned of Beetee’s plan, knew he was ready and willing to give up his life so that his friends and family could live, be forced to live without them, knowing all he did in the arena was for nothing. that everyone died anyway. sick and twisted.

“We need more complex female characters” y’all couldn’t even handle Clarke Griffin

Forever grateful that Suzanne Collins wrote TBOSAS in third person because 99% percent of Coriolanus' inner monologue is some variation of "Kicking puppies seems to be disliked by the districts, which is weird because it's second nature to everyone here in the Capitol. I am not like other Capitol boys, but I also refuse to expand my perspective, which limits my empathy, enclosing me into a vicious cycle of ignorance which will turn violent once mixed in with my ambitious nature. I love (dehumanizing and objectifying) my girlfriend. "
