something about haymitch (and his mentors) being aware of a victor prior to him, but no one knows her name… yet they all know she was there. she really was in the breeze and in the trees, huh.

Lucy Gray Baird, the spark

Haymitch Abernathy, the flint striker

Katniss Everdeen, the fire

Peeta Mellark, the oxygen

[fromevertonow]

hihi. kill me

[fromevertonow]

Sorry my poetry brain is going off again. But the ship name Everlark is so damn poetic for Katniss and Peeta. The lark is the bird in Romeo and Juliet that warns them daylight is approaching, and so they don't have much time left together. Katniss and Peeta are always living with the fear of being ripped from each other. Meanwhile, they're bound to each other forever, first by force then by choice.

Not to mention the rooftop scene, where daylight is approaching and Peeta says he wants to live in this moment forever, because when daylight comes, they'll be ripped apart again.

Everlark my beloved ✨️

burdock everdeen hurt otho mellark’s leg in order to save his life. without this action peeta mellark would not exist and katniss everdeen would not have become the mockingjay. katniss everdeen hurt peeta mellark’s leg in order to save his life. without this act peeta mellark would not exist and katniss everdeen would not have become the mockingjay.

katniss may not be the chosen one but EVERLARK IS WRITTEN IN THE STARS EVERYONE

giggling at the thought of snow watching katniss and peeta win the games under haymitch’s mentorship with lucy gray’s songs as their own personal soundtrack. every mockingjay that he could never control on one unhinged team, openly defying his rules and winning the public’s adoration in the process. absolutely insane.

*something something lenore dove’s orange paint and Peeta’s favorite color orange of the sunrise*

Most insane pipeline known to man:

Help your younger sister pass her university assignment -> Accidently end up as a part of the rebellion to overthrow the tyrannical president

The way we see the full progression of the dehumanisation of the tributes as the Hunger Games becomes more established and more normalised in the Capitol

In Ballad, they’re like wild animals, caged and starved as a form of revenge

In Sunrise, Haymitch being likened to some kind of pet by his prep team and in the afterparty of the games

In The Hunger Games and Catching Fire, they’re like celebrities trapped in a sick parasocial relationship with the people who will, in a week, get to see them die

The cage is always there- it just evolves to make it more palatable to the viewers

[fromevertonow]

lenore dove resenting maysilee for keeping a canary in a cage, only for the capitol to literally lock haymitch in a gilded cage after his games. he is truly a canary in a coal mine, trying to warn the districts about what really happened to him.

Honest to God question

[fromevertonow]

Haymitch saw himself in Katniss (the rebel) and Peeta (the rascal)

[fromevertonow]

Thank god Suzanne Collin’s threw Katniss and Peeta in that epilogue real quick so I didn’t kill myself

[fromevertonow]

Peeta planting the primroses for Katniss and then Katniss getting the goose eggs for Haymitch

I can’t stop thinking about how the rebellious district 12 victors were connected to the Covey, a small group of people that didn’t even belong to the districts, or Panem in general. They were rootless people, nomads, who went where the road would take them and it took them to a place where injustices were so frequent it became the norm, where the people were treated as the lowest of the low. It almost seems like fate for a person like Lucy Gray to stop by and simply refuse to move or abide to any rule and inspire generations to come to do the same and worse. It takes one spark and a flint striker to create a raging fire.

maysilee’s little act of resistance with the strawberry ice cream vs katniss delivering strawberries to madge on reaping day, before madge gives her the mockingjay pin. it truly runs in the family.
