Sunrise on the Reaping Live Blog - Chapter 21-23

< Previous part - Next part >

Spoiler alert!

“Your plan is not sustainable” is the nicest possible way Maysilee can say “You’re being a dumbass”

Okay but Haymitch’ imaginary baby mutts are fucking terrifying

You thought you were being sneaky with that Katniss reference

Okay that’s not exactly great either, but those babies would have been worse

Ah yes, arson, the answer to life’s questions

The money I would pay to actually watch Snow clean out shower drains

Nothing they can take from you was ever worth keeping🥲🥲

Aha, he found the force field

Making the sequel to Hitchcock’s “The Birds” over here

Is he gonna have to kill Wellie? That’s evil

Okay, I’m gonna say they’re just purposefully trying to get him to win so they can keep torturing him for the rest of his life

“It’s okay to cry around Mags” And I will

Spoiler alert!

It was at this moment that he knew: he fucked up

Love that his whole attitude after realising it didn't work isn't "hey I can still try to win this", but rather "guess I'll die"

Wasn’t expecting a Maze Runner cross-over

Apparently the rabbits are OP in this arena. Well, unless they drink poison

Fuck go back-

Don’t fuck with Twelve, bitch!

You can’t use a trident? You were using a spear earlier. That’s just a spear that delivers three stab wounds at once (yes I know it’s more complicated than that, balance-wise and stuff, but still. Stick ‘em with the pointy end, as Arya would say)

He’s just happy to have someone to quip with again

Oh gods, there’s one left from Six, isn’t there? That’s gonna be used for tear-bait later, guaranteed

Mags sending them the soup😭

“You know I like my pretty with a purpose”😭😭😭

“Night, Sis” Are you trying to break me

“Fur as orange as sunset” Stop-

Spoiler alert!

Please give me your idea of what a “rascally just kidding-wave” looks like

Can you imagine a huge cloud of butterflies just gunning straight for you? And they have tasers?

Why is “A few crispy skeletons float down” so funny to me

Let me guess, there’s gonna be mutated bees in the bee balm? Or Tracker Jackers maybe? You don’t wanna be around for those

I guess we’re saving Panache for a more personal confrontation

The grape juice in a wine bottle-

Aw hugs

He made a hat🥹

“I can’t help thinking that all the little ones seem to end up with me” That’s what I’m saying bro, it’s maximum emotional manipulation

It didn’t work, did it?

Whoop nevermind

Okay, new prediction: when he finally gets up there, a Career will have just finished killing Ampert, Rue-style (okay that felt awful to type)

*Violent Finnick Odair flashbacks*

Oh gods that’s worse

“Somewhere, Beetee’s heart breaks into fragments so small it can never be repaired”😭😭😭

Well shit

[procrastinatingacademic]

Sunrise on the Reaping Live Blog - Chapter 15-16

< Previous part - Next part >

Spoiler alert!

Anything to make you proud, Mags😭

Aww group hug

Here we go, gang

Okay, good start

Am I correct in remembering this whole arena is full of poison? Snow must love that

Eighteen immediate deaths is wild

You were hoping for better? Those supplies already seem too good to be true

Yeah, good call not leaving your own water behind. Fuck that. Guess those indigestion pills are good for something after all

Not the canary in a coal mine-

“Guess I’ll just lay down and die”

“Wyatt Callow whose luck just ran out” 😭Bro-

Also how did he die but not Lou Lou

Ow well fuck me nevermind

Haymitch has new besties! Seriously dude, stop getting attached to the most fragile things/people around

To reiterate my previous statement

Okay but who instructed her to find you though

I was afraid you were gonna say that

“Unbruised, unbeaten, unbroken” sounds like the rejected House words for House Martell

No offence dude, but you might wanna drop the defender-role for a minute. I feel bad for Lou Lou, but she is a liability to Haymitch and he knows it. She slows him down, makes him less vigilant. She was explicitly sent by the Gamemakers to watch him even more closely and probably put him in even more danger by having her distract or attack him or something.

“Fire is catching”👀

Fuck, I take it back, fuck, fuck-

Sunrise on the Reaping Live Blog - Chapter 12-14

< Previous part - Next part >

Spoiler alert!

I hope Drusilla dies in this book. I miss Effie

Don’t worry, Haymitch has “rascal” down to an artform

Effie!!! Haymitch, it’s your future bestie!

Let us take a moment to mourn the relationship Effie and Maysilee could have had

Yikes he’s gonna break these kids’ hearts

Let’s hope that’s not a venomous snake

*War by the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble starts blasting*

He dyes his hair a different colour every night? How’s your hair’s health, buddy?

Let’s go District Three!!

“They’ll still be 100% as stupid as usual” He found the rascal-angle alright

“So long as Magno Stift is never mentioned” On that, we agree

Lenore Dove!!!!!

Just rip my heart out, why don’t you?

“My ghost would never associate with your ghost” Whoops wrong book-

One hell of a strategy to get someone’s trust

Daaamn Plutarch with the burn

Not Plutarch encouraging name-calling🤣

Wyatt being good with Lou Lou is just perfectly bittersweet

Not Haymitch identifying with an Edgar Allan Poe poem again-

Wait ‘till he gets a hold of the Romantic poets

[procrastinatingacademic]

Sunrise on the Reaping Live Blog - Chapter 10-11

< Previous part - Next part >

Spoiler alert!

Okay, kinda funny naming the guy running the chariot parade Incitatus

Go off, sass king

We love you, Mags

Jesus, what must Wiress be feeling about her beloved mentor being forced to watch his kid die in The Games, especially with Ampert allying himself with Twelve?

Well speak of the devil and he shall appear

You know Beetee loves nothing more than combining water and electricity to fuck up people’s plans

I gotta hand it to him, this sounds awesome. But you know the first rule of plans in fiction: if you explain the plan to the audience, you cannot have the plan go… well, as planned. Otherwise you have a boring story. The most interesting way to write a plan playing out is 1)having things go wrong 2)let the planner-character have concealed parts of the plan (not much of an option here, though). For excellent examples, see the Six of Crows duology. Alright, class dismissed

Okay, Maysilee has grown on me

A one? Really? I mean, that can mean he’s not seen as a threat and he can use it to his advantage. Still, dick move

Sunrise on the Reaping Live Blog - Chapter 9

< Previous part - Next part >

Spoiler alert!

“Talking isn’t torturing” Depends on who you’re talking to

Get yourself someone who’s as committed to getting you books you’ll love as Haymitch

Plutarch keeps giving me reasons to like and dislike him in quick succession. On the one hand, he’s a smart bibliophile. On the other, he’s - ew - a privileged old money kid. Pick a lane, my guy

“I don’t drink”😭

That’s right bitch, you’re not the only one who knows fancy words

“I think the important part is it makes you forget terrible things” Oh come on😭

Reacting with “Oh, okay” to a guy violently vomiting in your fountain🤣

Him downing the milk🤣🤣No more for you

No, the president does not have a poison addiction. He can quit whenever he wants to

Stop projecting all your shit on this 16-year-old

Ally Beardsley voice: “I'm Pierre Delecto, and I hate this bitch!” *slap*

“Snow lands on top” Yeah, on top of your cold corpse

FUCKING WHAT NO WAY IN HELL THAT’S HER

[procrastinatingacademic]

Sunrise on the Reaping Live Blog - Chapter 7-8

< Previous part - Next part >

Spoiler alert!

“I don’t cry much in general” You will

You’ll find another sweetheart, Haymitch, and it will be just as heartbreaking as the first time

Haymitch is a foodie😊

Okay I kinda love the Mags-Wiress relationship. They’re very complementary as mentors

Bitch you better get your hands of my boy-

Plutarch really is everywhere, huh?

No wonder you were named for a philosopher

“Can I do other people’s deaths?” Okay that one got me

Oh Beetee, in another life you’d be a happy science teacher. I bet he’s a good dad🥲

Okay look, I have a weakness for adults complimenting intelligence in kids and helping them hone their mental skills. I’ll talk about it in therapy, I promise

“I was reaped the day you were born” is a fucking low blow. You think that’s funny???? I like you man, don’t make me regret it

He has a flock of doves now😭

Not him being thrown off by the maths-kids🤣

I’m an English and lit major, I get it

Don’t underestimate the power of the fashion police

Oh-ow

Sunrise on the Reaping Live Blog - Chapter 6

< Previous part - Next part >

Spoiler alert!

Run, Forrest, run!

The fact that my playlist decided to play Der Tod und Das Mädchen is diabolical. Thanks, Spotify

“Spin this, Plutarch” is so funny to me

Urchin? Really?

I know the girl flipping her fishtail as she walks away is supposed to be sassy, but in my head it just looks like a failed, funny attempt, and idk how Haymitch didn’t burst out laughing at that

“Doesn’t seem to be any particular reason to get up, so I just lie there, not caring if I get trampled or not” Mood

I know I dunked on it with Plutarch earlier, but I kinda like Wyatt’s cold pragmatism

Plot twist: Silka from District One is just trans Silco from Arcane. Better watch out for that one

Okay, this kid is smart, I like him

Wiress!!!

What do you mean you don’t want a smart person who can still relate to you age-wise as a mentor? I mean fair, she hasn’t mentored before, but still

Mags😭😭😭

This all just makes Catching Fire even more painful

[procrastinatingacademic]

Sunrise on the Reaping Live Blog - Chapter 3-5

< Previous part - Next part >

Spoiler alert!

Aw, Sid has a special interest in astronomy. Too bad he’ll never get to-

“I don’t know what to make of this Plutarch” don’t worry, most people don’t

Oh good, Haymitch gets his very own Rue

Not “sweetheart”. Please. That’s not gonna end well.

Ever the strategist, Haymitch. I appreciate that

Wyatt is secretly Connor, the android sent by Cyberlife

“There’s a surprise for dessert” Oh gods, I heard about this

Fuck you and your birthday cake all the way to Hell

Willamae Abernathy, I need all your recipes

“It has pineapple filling?” What a save, better luck next time

I don’t like Maysilee as a person, but man, does she have some banger insults

Idk why, but Haymitch using the word “wallop” is just really funny to me

I bloody knew it was The Raven!

The mockingjay pin!

This is why you don’t just assume someone can’t hear you

Glad to see the career hate hasn’t deminished. I mean this guy deserves it

Even the shower routine gives Haymitch full justification to look at Katniss like “you think you have it bad?”

I’m sorry, the stylist’s last name is Stift? Not to insinuate anything, but that’s Dutch for marker or sharpie (I’m definitely insinuating something)

I miss Cinna

A crowd of drunks shouting at kids being endangered in chariots? What is this, Constantinopel?

It’s a chariot race now, we don’t make the rules

Well damn. So much for “you and me to the end”

I was gonna say “can we stop killing kids?”, but of course, no we cannot, that’s the whole point

Me writing siblings for my OC: “These kids ain’t safe”

So sorry for the long wait on my liveblogging! Uni has kept me more than busy (including mandatory reading), so Clash of Kings has been put on the back-burner for a little while.

And it will have to wait slightly longer, cuz ya girl couldn't resist and got a copy of Sunrise on the Reaping! Let's be honest though, I love Haymitch' character, and some of my friends have gotten me even more excited for the book, so I might actually just read the entire thing in this one weekend. So, without further ado, enjoy my unfiltered thoughts! Spoilers ahoy!

Okay literary and philosophical epigraphs

Girl you did not start with “Happy birthday, Haymitch”

Bro you’ve jinxed yourself like 3 times in the span of 2 pages

Not the geese-

“Though I’m not a drinker myself” fucking OUCH-

Named after a dead girl called Lenore from a poem? Was that a goddamn Edgar Allan Poe reference?

Oh gods, here we go with the name drops

“Dove like the bird?” No, Dove like the soap

Oh, sweet summer child

As if it couldn’t be bad enough, there’s fucking gross indecency laws as well? Homophobes will ruin everything

At least Haymitch is an ally

“Panem’s #1 Peacekeeper” fuck you

A decent mayor? In my district 12? Inconceivable

Oh I hate this bitch already

Bruh if you don’t want the body there, at least let his mother come with you instead of trying to pry him from her arms

So that’s how you wanna play it, Collins?!

Oh hey Plutarch, you fucking weird pragmatist you

I too want to scream into a storm for this

In other news: talking more about the franchise again with friends now, I’ve decided to finally pick up the Haymitch x OC fic I’ve had in my concepts for a while now. So keep your eye out for that if you’re interested😉

[procrastinatingacademic]

As a little treat, I bought Sunrise on the Reaping right after class. (I was gonna do that anyway, but now I have extra justification.)

You know what that means: liveblog posts to follow!

The sheer dopamine rush you get from a professor openly complimenting you - multiple times - about a remark you just made in class
