I’m already a disorganized MESS with all my thoughts about SotR (or SOTR—yes we get a fantastic acronym) but the current one that is rattling in my brain is that we TECHNICALLY didn’t get a confirmation about who the protagonist is. Correct me if I’m wrong but all the announcement posts simply confirm it takes place on the morning of the 50th games.
We could be following Katniss’s Mom for all we know—she was alive to witness it, lost her best friend to it.
This Hunger Games novel could do something completely different to what we’ve seen: follow a character who doesn’t survive past the games themselves. Maybe we could be getting a first person novel about the district 2 career, or Maysilee herself.
Maybe it’s third person, or first person by someone other than Haymitch.
Maybe we get a rotating perspective (doubt it but still!!)
Maybe it’s Haymitch’s mother, brother, a girlfriend. So many possibilities
Do I hope it’s Haymitch centered? …yes absolutely lmao he’s literally my favorite character in the series. (Which I’m ngl, I hope the novel doesn’t shatter that 💀 I know Haymitch isn’t exactly likeable and I fear maybe my “rose colored glasses” have a chance to be shattered lol)
But just to raise the idea that Haymitch isn’t the only person Sunrise on the Reaping could focus on

The fact that Eliot was considering killing Moreau instead of working with the team to take him to justice is so intense. For this new family he wanted to prevent them from even coming close to him he was considering breaking his vow, going it alone and just assassinating him.

Because I’ve been feeling brave lately (maybe TOO brave time will tell) I’m gonna ask an earnest question like I am truly curious where this comes from…does anyone understand the frequent jackie body shames shauna trope in yj fic? I am not coming for anyone okay I just can’t figure it out for the life of me, like I am 99.99% certain the only time we see jackie discuss shauna’s body is with boob dress and that’s like…her wanting shauna to show more skin. And then she backs down immediately when shauna gets upset. It’s very much an indicator that she loves her body to me. So I can absolutely see where a hyperawareness or her body around jackie just based on like her Body Being Perceived exists!! Or shauna wondering if jackie was judging her in a negative way in the other clothes or whatever!! I just…body shaming is such a really very cruel thing and I’m very confused by where the explicit and extreme verbal body shaming thing comes from, like is there a moment where people infer it cause I’m at such a LOSS on this one. Like obviously characterization is largely based on how you read a text I fully get that!! And that’s okay!! All of this is creative prerogative!! I’m just constantly confused by how frequently people write jackie just tearing into shauna’s body because it’s so specific and so next level mean.

“Why do I have such a bad headache?” I ask myself as I absentmindedly massage the boulder of a knot in my left trap.
Such a fucking mystery as to why I could possibly be dealing with a headache that feels like someone is squeezing my skull with a rubber band.
