THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE (2013) — dr. Francis Lawrence

Haymitch and his ducklings

THE HUNGER GAMES: SUNRISE ON THE REAPING (2025) “I first saw the girl at the Hob when she was just a baby. Burdock was so proud of her, he toted her around everywhere. After he died in that mine explosion, she started coming alone, trading the odd squirrel or rabbit. Tough and smart, her hair in two braids then, reminding me for all the world of Louella McCoy, my sweetheart of old. And after she volunteered for the Games, that nickname couldn’t help but slip out.”

Asterid is a large clade of flowering plants, composed of 17 orders and more than 80,000 species — pictured is an echinacea plant, which has long been used in traditional medicine // Burdock, belonging to the Asterid clade, has sticky burrs and heart-shaped leaves and its roots are used for medicine and food // Katniss is an aquatic plant, also known as arrowhead, which grows tubers similar to potatoes // Primrose is a wildflower belonging to the Asterid clade that is valued for its ornamental flowers

Katniss and Peeta being the ones that save Haymitch

this officially makes him the world’s most accurate fictional scientist because he HAS a favorite hypothesis that he IS going to make sure works even if it fucking kills him

that line hits so hard when you realize how quickly he was calling katniss sweetheart. through katniss’ eyes, it seemed insincere at first, almost like haymitch was mocking her. but now we truly know haymitch wouldn’t just throw that around. he truly cared for her from the start.

the tributes

“of course you do” as his response now means so much more bc he’s not just exasperated he’s like “you really are me with a braid”
