hehe Katniss avox one shot that sucks ass
Katniss felt her body jolt back as sparks from the arena flew. Was peeta ok? Was he thrown back by the wave that had just went over the arena? Peeta, the name repeated in her name while she slowly faded into sleep, or unconscious? Could she say death? As her head and eyes got foggy so did the name but it stayed with her, stayed with her till she couldnât remember.
As Katniss woke up the first thing she noticed was the faint smell of roses and blood and the doctors surrounding her. Was she excepting Haymitch? Or maybe peeta? Was her mother here or prim? They were both doctors, they should be here. No, a voice in her head says, no they shouldnât be in the capitol. Was she in the capitol? She had to be, the smell of roses and blood, president snow, wouldnât be in district twelve and neither would the capitol doctors crowding around her be either.
The dull pain in her mouth..what is it? Has she bitten her tongue? Why can she not feel her tongue? Was she put on so much morphling that she cannot feel it anymore? Or is it even still there..is it there? Filled with a new found, but dull panic she reached for her mouth only to be blocked by bandages and a doctors hand, slowly guiding her own back to her lap. She tried to talk, even if it would be muffled by the bandages but she couldnât only weird guttural sounds and sharp pains. Was she an avox? Had they taken her tongue? Why did she feel so calm? Her tongue had been taken, she should be panicked!
The doctor which had grabbed her hand before slowly grabbed her hand like she was some skittish stray animal. He slowly pressed the needle into her skin and Katniss let him, if she fought would she loose something else? What happened to prim? Where was prim? Or Peeta? Were they dead? Were they dead because of her?
When she wakes up again she is still in the same room and the smell of blood and roses had grown. âAh, My dear Miss Everdeenâ a voice from besides her said, she moved her head slowly and she felt herself start to shake. Next to her was President snow, clean shaven and in a velvet red suit with a prim white rose in his lapel. And she had been promoted to dear Miss Everdeen now? Wow she was really in trouble huh.
He brushed a piece of hair away from her face faster then she could flinch away. She tried to ask what happened, where peeta was or finnick or even Johanna and beetee, or if prim was still alive but all that came out was guttural sounds and slurred parts of words. Snow looked at her delighted, like this was absolutely hilarious how she couldnât speak. âYou must be wondering why you canât speak, am I right Miss Everdeen?â
She nodded, of course she wanted to know. âWell Miss Everdeenâ he started, a smile still on his face, did he get another surgery? His lips look bigger then before âyou do know what an avox is, am I right?â He asked and she nodded, who didnât know what an avox was? âthen I assume you can piece together what happened to youâ he said. So she had become an avox, was it because she blew out the arena? He did say some districts rebelled because of her, was that another reason? Why was she questioning that, of course it was the reason!
âNot many are supposed to know this but, you set off a full on rebellion after blowing out the arena, revealed lots of undercover rebels as well Miss Everdeenâ he said, his voice calm but Katniss knew he had to be seething. She just nodded, what else could she do? He smiled at her âYouâll have to learn to adjust to your lack of tongue now Miss Everdeenâ He said before standing up and tucking a white rose behind her hair, where had it come from? But his thumb was near her mouth, she could bite him, should she bite him? She didnât answer her own question before biting down on snows hand and he pulled away his thumb quickly looking at her with a slightly surprised face, sheâd never seen that before.Â
âThatâs quite rude Miss Everdeen, Iâd expect that from a young child, someone way below your ageâ he said before walking out the room. She felt bad, like a child scolded by their father but snow wasnât her father and sheâs surprised she felt like this, whatever drug they gave her must be messing with her head. Once he left and the clicks of his shoes disappeared she was alone, how does she live like this now? With out a tongue? Would doctors help her? Where would she work? For some wealthy capitol family, if the hunger games continued would she work at the tribute center? Helping others she mightâve known from district twelve, she wouldâve done that anyways as a mentor but maybe seeing Haymitch or Effie or peeta worst of all.
Something moved, a sound by the door and tray of food was there. She slowly climbed off bed and walked over to the tray, a bowl of liquid was there. She slowly kneeled down and scooped some up with the plastic spoon on the tray, putting the spoon to her mouth and holding it there too scared to try it. She slowly put her mouth around the spoon, the feeling of no tongue, or the lack of tongue she had gave her a weird feeling and swallowing it seem harder then normal. She didnât know how useful a tongue could be till now. No more singing for her, a voiceless mockingjay was no good.

most confusing line in mockingjay tbh, like Iâm sorry katniss ily but do you think his own brother has just been ignoring him this whole time. do you think cressida and messalla, his friends and coworkers, have just not bothered to even try communicating with him. the man knows sign language and can write or gesture to communicate like wdym he hasnât had a conversation in years đ i mean yeah i guess thereâs a lot he canât say if the person he wants to talk to doesnât know sign language and thereâs nothing on hand that he can write with but iâm sure heâs still had better conversations than just back-and-forth birdcall lmao
#I just think about it every time I reread mockingjay sorry Iâm just like????? katniss what do u MEAN#like i get what sheâs trying to say#itâs a communication exchange rather than just someone talking at him and him nodding or something#but still it doesnât rlly make sense like#castor is right there#heâs definitely had conversations with castor if no one else#mockingjay#the hunger games#thg series#suzanne collins#castor thg#castor and pollux#pollux thg#katniss everdeen#wes chatham#elden henson#avox

as someone who loves to reread books, i feel like the hunger games has some of the best rereadability
iâve read each of the trilogy each least 5 times each, and tbosas twice, and every time i pick up something new, sometimes about panem as a whole, sometimes itâs character insights, sometimes itâs connections to the real world.
ive said it before, but suzanne such a brilliant author, and she manages to give every character such depth that makes them ALL such compelling characters
i just think itâs incredible how she can write books that fall perfectly into a ya dystopian genre and also provides such profound commentary on society and government
#the hunger games#thg#katniss everdeen#gale hawthorne#peeta mellark#finnick odair#book tumblr#the hunger games might just be my magnum opus#one day i will write down all of my many thoughts and truly there are MANY#i could write an essay on gales character#i used to be his number one hater but recently iâve been seeing him in such a different light and i think heâs a perfect representation#of young oppressed men and how their oppression can radicalize them#also i am so obsessed with polluxâs character and i want to know everything about his life and how he became an avox his family EVERYTHING#i just want to sit down and talk with suzanne about these books for hours and hours

From October 4th, after Gale tells him Peeta knows what pains Katniss but Is lying to himself.
WIP undergoing rework(specifically Peeta's manner of speaking)
"The only time she âlovedâ me was when either I or the crapitol were forcing me on her, he confessed his infatuation forcing her to love him for food, her heart was always yours Gale it's why he gave Katniss the locket as some pathetic type of apology, I know the limitations of restraining orders but words cannot describe how much I hate what the runt did to her, I'm sorryâÂ
I notice a brief puase until Peeta takes a deep breath and begins spilling words out:
âAnnie, I don't get it, I was unfairly jealous of her, 13 should be the peak of her life, she has Gale, her family is safe, most of the people who she knew growing up are alive. She as Mockingjay can fight snow. Yeah I did horrible things to her, she had to do certain stuff after her father died, she survived 2 arenas, but there are people far worse off than her. Like me for example. After my return, only 13 really cared about a doomed mad mutt slowly clawing his way to something resembling sanity. But we all know that she isn't in the bathroom to pee, sighs there's a brokenness to her, she's numb and is as quiet as an avox.
Annie sighs: âThe heart works in mysterious waysâÂ
Tong says to Peeta: âFinnick injured himself rather than be seperated, if she cared about you she never would have left you in that state, fuck herâ
âBut Tong, the time she did visit I called her a piece of work and said she was small and uglyâ
Tong responds: âwould that bother Finnick, if Leeg went through what you did I would never abandon her ever. shallow teenage relationships and actual connections are not the same thingâ
âMaybe your right,if I had a love for real and she was hijacked I don't think I could handle the hurt, I would need to be institutionalized. They showed me footage of how I was, it's pretty brutal, If she really was my lover I wouldnât want to be near meâ â Peeta says.Â
âNo not real Peeta, do you think this is easy for Finnick, it would hurt but most would never cower. It's not you, I think she'll get over whatever is bothering her" Tong replies
"Have I told you I really love your morphling bottles" Leeg said to Peeta
"Thanks!" Peeta says smiling
"I must say, in your second games, the Mockingjay really had us fooled during the beach"
"I'm confused about that as well"
"My 2 credits: it's called the hunger Games, for a reason though only she knows"
"She's only 17 and she's already gone through hell and back she's just so young. And when she's back she has to be the Mockingjay, If I was her lover she would probably handle the pain of a mutt lover, like a 17 year old" Peeta says.
"In D13 she would constitute an adult, now your infantalizing her, in D12 as you know she hunted for food. But if she isn't mature enough to be by your side when you need her the most
But I don't need her! It's my recovery not hers!
Tong ignores the interruption
Then she was never mature enough to have a lover. Let's compare her to you,
Me?
"Yeah, you suffer from constant episodes, yet you still have the strength to fight through them, despite surviving the capitol you still haven't given up. If someone was hurt I have no doubt you would run to the persons aid. Delly said you were making progress you were no physical or emotional threat to her yet she discarded you no longer had any use to her.
"You think to highly of me are you flattering me, I don't think I could handle a hijacked Lover honestly. This sounds like one of my jackered rants. She was only practical becuase she had to survive, it's District 12, but she feels strongly, she did all this to feed her family and keep Gale alive. She's not naturally a cold manipulator as your portraying, Its something she was forced into just like everyone in District 12. "
Its hard for someone from D13 to imagine, the bater and competition for the daily meal, but do you have any hard proof that she ever had a lover?
"Maybe Gale but no"
Tong says "yeah when did you do anything normal together, without a gun to your head?"
Peeta just nods.
âNone that I know for sure, in the arena we had to play up that star crossed lovers strategy and get those sponsors, am I right? Peeta says
âin my opinion yes, acting in love is not the same thing as real love unless your the capitol."
Leeg speaks up "you are perfectly in the right for being mad at Delly for pulling the rug from under you and at Katniss for not doing one thing to help, she could have answered all your questions and don't give me the emotions excuse that just means she wasn't willing to put any effort into you. But that bitch lost her chance, if she cared about you she would feel something when Coin challenged her but that bitch can't feel anything. Why the fuck does she deserve to be the Mockingjay?"
"She doesn't strike me as that much of an actor, but being fed lines by me, or Haymitch and having a gun to your head does wonders for your acting skills. And even before I imposed this, she had to let's just say um perform for supper. That's why I believe she fell for Gale, she didn't need him and their relationship was one of willing equals"
Hmm
"The one good thing about this sickening act is that she isn't as hurt by my mutation as she otherwise would be. I would be a full scale psychological torture device if it was real, as if kneeding her larynx isn't bad enough."
"There's lots of lies in the games, it must be so confusing for you" Tong says
Peeta responds
"That's becuase that's what Panem is, it's a giant twisted game. And even if I was able to ask Katniss which are lies and truth, she probably doesn't even know. When I was verbally assaulting her about if she loved me or not she said "That's what everyone says" now I gave her grief over this but I think that's her honest answer the full details are something she wouldn't want to discuss in public or she felt ashamed over her confusion."
Tong laughs : "from what your describing I don't want to know it makes me feel sick".
"I was hijacked to feel mad, then I felt a longing at times for it to be real, but now I just cringe when I rewatch the lovey dovey part of the games. So much fucking implications, lies and subtext. I'm glad I don't have to touch it anymore."
Leeg says "Never forget that your supposed lover and wife left you to fend for yourself. That's why children in 13 call her catpiss"
Tong laughs.
"I don't think I'm the same person, it's probably a good thing that I'm not, I don't see why she would want to help me. I'm talking about Katniss's Perspective if she was my lover, objectively she doesn't have to do anything"
Leeg "your compassion is why she never will deserve you,we're all talking about her moral backbone which she has none"
Peeta says "ugh, Im glad she can't hear us but even if I was her lover at one point, there's nothing I can do to help her. There are simply some things that I will never know. In all likelihood we weren't lovers but if Gale was mutated I don't think she would behave differently but who knows? So anyway, how's the military sector den going?"

i know this all started like 11 years ago but i'm still so mad at how the hunger games movies have removed practically every trace of the avoxes that they can. i know that movies can't include everything from the books, but the avoxes are so important to the story and it does a real disservice to the movies by removing them. also, it would have added maybe a couple minutes per movie to include them the way they were in the books.
there are mentions of them here and there, and we do see lavinia briefly, but the only avox who's there in any meaningful way is pollux. and they couldn't take him out of the movie! not only is he important to include with the camera crew, he has to be there because he's the one who leads the group through the tunnels. if it were possible to cut him out of mockingjay, i think they would have.
removing so many scenes with lavinia genuinely detracted from my enjoyment of the first movie. especially witnessing her capture & carrying the guilt about it. when there are avoxes waiting on her, katniss does treat them politely, but i think it would have been so important & impactful to see her truly recognizing lavinia and her humanity and trying to communicate with her like anyone else. fixing this probably wouldn't add more than like 5 minutes to the runtime, but it would be such an improvement.
and don't even get me started with darius being removed from the movies. maybe he shows us a little less about katniss's character than lavinia would, but the mentions of him in catching fire add so much to our imagination of the hob and illustrate just how different peacekeepers were in district 12. this is also the first time this has happened to someone katniss actually knows. i think this would take maybe a minute and a half to fix? at most. really all we would need to see is darius talking to katniss in the hob, then being one of the peacekeepers getting captured when thread takes over.
obviously they kept pollux in because they literally couldn't remove him from mockingjay. i don't really have any complaints about his portrayal in the movies, which is kind of surprising given how passionate i am about him. also, the movie actually portrayed castor's death better than the book! it wasn't really in the book, basically castor was there and then he wasn't. so the movie version has a lot more impact.
also, it sucks that we didn't get to hear what happened to lavinia and darius. i always have intense second-hand embarrassment at the fact that in the book, peeta realizes pollux is an avox then immediately starts trauma dumping about seeing lavinia and darius tortured to death. if it were done as written in the movie, i might have experienced literal physical pain. but at the same time, i think it's very important that katniss finds out what happened to them. also in the books, squad 451 hears all the avoxes in the tunnels screaming as the mutts kill them. i feel like that would have been really easy to add in.
anyways we are moving on before i write an entire dissertation on pollux.
it was even worse in tbosas! the movie cut the scene where snow sees dr. gaul experimenting on and torturing avoxes. it would have been absolutely horrifying to see that translated to the screen, but it's incredibly important to snow's character development and his transformation into someone who both allows and perpetuates that cruelty. also, justice for ma plinth! i think it would have been incredible to see more of her and the way she treats people. in the book, she is so kind and caring to the avoxes working in her house. they're able to communicate with her, and she cooks food that will be easy for them to eat. since treating the avoxes as remotely human is so unusual, treating them with such love and respect is a revolutionary act, and goes to show what kind of person sejanus was raised to be. i know that this would add quite a bit to the runtime, but it probably should have been two movies anyways.
i know that side/background characters are cut from movies all the time. it happens. but even without getting a lot of lines, the avoxes are incredibly important to the story. these are people who have been enslaved, tortured, and dehumanized more than basically anyone else in panem. once characters truly see the avoxes, they're forced to confront the true brutality of the capitol and what they'll do to keep people in line. i think the movies don't truly force audiences to confront the brutality of this punishment. any rebellion is punished by literally robbing people of their voices and cutting them off from everything they've known. even if there's someone left to buy their freedom, they're physically disfigured for life--even removal of part of the tongue can have catastrophic side effects.
also, characters' perceptions of avoxes can say a lot about the kind of person they are. avoxes are the lowest class in panem, and treated with about as much agency as a piece of furniture. people aren't supposed to treat them like people. they're only supposed to talk to avoxes when giving them an order. despite this, there are certain characters who choose to show them kindness and love.
anyways i'm gonna end this here before i write a post so long it crashes tumblr but pls ask me literally anything about pollux i am in love w him <3

So the new Hunger Games book. I have some thoughts.
Can't wait to see who's gonna play which characters.
Wonder what Snow will look like middle-aged.
I'm guessing the movie will cut Maysilee having a sister due to Madge being absent from the original films & if so, I wonder how that will affect the Mockingjay pin origins or if they'll completely remove the fact that it originally belonged to her.
Omg, the film could use the same reaping dress (or more likely a replica) for teen Miss Everdeen that they used for Katniss as it is said to be something that belonged to her mother during her time as a Merchant, in the original series.
Can't believe we might finally learn Katniss's parents' names lol.
Omg, do you think they'll at least hint at the baker/apocathery/hunter love triangle?
Oh (no hate to Woody Harrison but) young Haymitch is gonna be white, isn't he? Well, at least they could let him have black hair. & that wouldn't nessaryly even break movie cannon. All they'd need is to have a scene showing/implying that the stylists are gonna dye his hair after he ends up winning the games. The movie could even create an in-universe reason (outside of the Capitol citerzens just thinking it looked better). Such as with blonde people in 12, not coming from the Seam. Snow views it as the perfect subtle punishment to help Haymitch feel a loss of cultural identity by separating him from his community (now that he looks & lives more like a Merchant).
Hope the movie won't try to appeal to Hayffee/Effie stans by adding unnecessary scenes of them getting close, as if Haymitch didn't have a whole ass girlfriend while Effie would be nose deep in Capitol propaganda at that point in time.
Everyone who's saying it's gonna be weird to find Haymitch hot is weak. I was attracted to Woody Harrelson in a wig.
Don't know if this is at all realistic/accruate, but this is how I'd want the movie to end. Haymitch, back in 12. Maybe waking up in his new house after being sedated (due to him losing it after his last interview). Him desperately trying to find out where his family/GF is after discovering his old house empty (left there as a reminder), his GF's family not opening the door & everyone seemingly too nervous to speak to him. Till he eventually ends up on the Everdeen's doorstep (where Miss Everdeen is being comforted) & they explain what happened as best as they can. Then, after he returns to his new home, he gets a phone call from Snow bassically telling him that he should have behaved himself, leading him to rip the phone out of the wall before completely trashing the place. When he eventually wakes up, Hazelle is cleaning up the mess (he forgot to lock the front door). She tries to talk to him about applying alcohol (she was given by miss Everdeen) to the wounds he sustained from smashing up the place & about his girlfriend (as I could imagine the two having been friends as I can only see Haymitch's GF being from the Seam), but he tells her to get out before he starts drinking the alcohol right from the bottle, with a voice over of older Haymitch saying the line 'there's survivors, there's no winners'. Or something along those lines.
Maybe that's too fanficy, though lol.

I have an idea for an angsty-ish everlark one shot (or even longer if something can be built off of it). Peeta couldâve seriously permanently harmed Katniss when he attacked her during their âreuinionâ in 13. He couldâve damaged her throat and vocal chords/muscles needed for speech so it would be impossible or difficult for her to ever speak/sing again, effectively clipping the Mockingjayâs wings. District 13 would lose its mouthpiece and even if Snow wouldnât have planned the outcomes exactly that way, it would be quite the stroke of luck and irony for him. It would devastate Peeta completely once he recovered and is able to make more sense of his memories. But I imagine with his presence and encouragement they would both work together in 12 to heal and learn sign language to communicate. Eventually, Peeta would forgive himself for what the Capitol did to them. I just think itâd be interesting to explore a healing katniss parallel their healing relationship as they get through it together and how she would get through the rest of her life (or months if it went down the path of an injury that could be healed) and learning how to communicate differently. I just donât have the energy myself to explore that type of fic right now and give it the attention and nuance it would deserve.

Katniss: I saw that girl and her brother get captured by the Capitol when I was out in the woods with Gale. They killed the boy! I did nothing. I think I might be a horrible person. Peeta: [Katniss stan since childhood] ... so is Gale your boyfriend?

Katniss avox pt 2, kinda hate it tbh but it took long to write đ
tags: @heartforeyes
I think you wanted me to tag you? Sorry if you didnât lmaođ
Katniss does not know how many days sheâs been here, sheâs kept in a white room with a bed and doctors come and check on her. Their clothing is always the same so she cannot tell if they came every day or twice or maybe even thrice. She has her mouth checked, but they always have a peacekeeper with them, she guessâs snow has told them to be wary about her bites.
Of course she doesnât try and bite them, the peacekeepers donât intimidate her she just has no need to bite them. Theyâve given her a note book to write down responses to their questions, though they complain about how sloppy her hand writing is, she wants to say they need to take it up with President snow to get district twelve a better education system but she doubts they would take that seriously.
Sheâs been sedated at least three times, usually after thinking of what couldâve become of Prim, peeta, her mother, gale, his family, all of district twelve really. They say she worked herself into a panic and that it could disrupt her healing, she guesses from how much sheâs tried screaming and opening her mouth. She wonders what peeta would think about this, would he console her? Yes, he would a voice in her head said, because peeta is kind and good, Prim is as well.
Sheâs tried to cry before, but all thatâs come out is sad, pitiful animal noises. They remind her of sounds that animals she would shoot and not kill immediately make, she supposeâs that is what she is, an animal thatâs been shot yet not killed. Sheâs seen some people try and help animals they see on the streets that are near death and in pain, ones that should be dead, that is snow but he is not doing this from the goodness of his heart by keeping her alive. He is keeping her alive so she can suffer and tear herself apart mentally and soon enough physically.
She once tried to district herself by singing, singing a beautiful ballad or maybe the hanging tree. But she could not sing, she has no tongue, she canât sing anymore. How will she sing prim to sleep? How will she tell her stories? How will she console her if she ever gets nightmares? Is prim even alive anymore? Katniss asks herself that question everyday, what had happened to her dear prim? Sweet, lovely, and innocent prim who wanted to always help people, how was she born in panem? To a country so cruel, with rulers who could learn from her kindness.
Katniss wonders where she will work, Will she work in the sewers? Or in a capitol house? Maybe snow will keep her as an avox at the presidential mansion? Would she prefer that? Being trapped with the horrible smell of blood and roses that seemed to follow President snow wherever he goes, or would she prefer working down in the sewers of the capitol? What would she prefer? Being trapped with the smell of blood and roses or in the sewers for so many hours a day? Katniss does not know what being in the sewers is like, does she want to know what it is like?
When Katniss wakes up she is met with a loose white dress? Or a large piece of fabric with some holes, she is not cinna, she cannot tell. She puts it on and sits on her bed, and she hears walking outside the door. Then itâs opened and in walks two peacekeepers, they motion for her to stand up and she walks over. They are on either side of her as they walk down a hallway, it looks like the tribute center, she mustâve been kept in the tribute center.Â
They walk past a window and Katniss seeâs herself, she looks like a skeleton and her hair is messy and brittle. The sky outside is bright, and people are walking around below her, they look likes ants almost. She is shoved into the elevator and almost falls before her arm is squeezed by a peacekeeper and he drags her back up. She stands in between them both and she hears quite laughs as they both look at each other, it takes her longer then she liked to realize they were laughing at her.
They push her into a car and she watches through very dark windows as the capitol buildings pass, it reminds her of the parade. Where are they taking her? Are they taking her to a sewers entrance? The presidential mansion? Or an auction where rich capitol people will bid on her like a piece of furniture? Which would she prefer? Has she asked herself that question before? She cannot remember. Soon enough they are somewhere and a peacekeeper pulls her out of the car, the presidential mansion stands tall and imposing in front of her. She is dragged through a back entrance and sees others wearing the same piece of fabric, Katniss had decided to call it that, as her.
She is forced into a kitchen and is handed a bowl of fruits, raspberries and for a second Katniss thinks they are nightlock berries but they are regular blue berries. She is instructed to take these to President for breakfast, katniss has not eaten breakfast yet, when will she be allowed to eat breakfast? She walks through the halls, like a lost child with the bowl of fruits, the raspberries and blue berries which Katniss has decided to think of as nightlock.
 She likes to think that she is going to give President snow nightlock berries and he is going to die, another way of killing to add to her imaginary list in her head. She doesnât know where the office is, nobody told her, they just assumed sheâd know? Or was this some joke? Soon enough a peacekeeper is dragging her to snowâs office and there he is, sitting behind a nice desk, mahogany, Effie likes mahogany. He smiles once he sees her, his snake eyes lighting up in sick delight, his lips look bigger than the last time sheâs seen him. She sets down the bowl in front of him and he stares at the fruits, he must recognize what the berries look like, or maybe he seeâs the slight smile Katniss has realized she had while thinking of killing him. Though whatever he sees he must realize the resemblance of the berries sooner or later. Because his smile fades slightly before he shooâs her out, and then she is taken out by the peacekeeper and instructed to clean.
That is what she does now, everyday, some days she is shoved and some days she is not. She prefers the days where she isnât shoved though she cannot get rid of the thought that President snows lips seem bigger each time she sees him. Even if itâs twice in the same day, something else Katniss has grown to hate-the smell is always so strong-they seem bigger than the first time she saw him.Â
One day, when she is waiting for the peacekeepers to come she is not met with them coming through the door but different people, in black combat outfits and helmets with vests as well. When one removes their helmet she thinks she is dreaming because peeta is standing in front of her, and she tackles him. They fall to the floor and she grips his wrist, so that she knows he is real and that it is not her imagination, she grips so hard she feels her nails leave marks but she is worried that he will be taken again if she lets go.

That weird feeling when you are re-reading a book and suddenly you get hit by Feels⢠for a character you had completely forgot that existed
#I havent re read the hunger games in a few years#and I vagely remembered a couple of the characters that didnt make it to the movies#like Madge Maysilee or the Avox girl#but I didn't remember Darius Katniss's peacekeeper friend#and then when she finds him as an Avox I just đđđđ#the hunger games#catching fire#Darius hunger games

You said you wanted to talk about Hunger Games Bakugou?.... đ¤
I DID AND I STILL DO DESPERATELY!!!! and not just bakugo, anyone even!!!!!!!!! tho i'm having a bit of a problem bc there's so much to explore, i don't know what exactly i want to say!!
Are you in the games together? Someone he meets before or after? Your mentor or mentee???? ARE YOU AN AVOX HE FALLS IN LOVE WITH, maybe, even? Or even just from the same or different district? something, something IN THE CAPITOL????
LIKE THERE'S SO MUCH HERE I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO PICK N EXPAND ON AND I NEED HELP!!!!
#like i keep thinking about the avox route#u know like in the first books how that avox helped clean up katniss' room and cleaned off her face#and he wants to take u back to district 1 with him#that's my hc for him at least!!#or even possibly district 8 or 3 or 5 ... dunno which matches clothing OR bombs best LOL. imagine district 13 that would be so wild#and he fights with his hands without a weapon bc it seems aligned with her quirk#at least i havent gotten very far thinking abt weapons#but then also teaming up in the games is so interesting too#or being his mentee for whatever#and he's so squirrely abt training another tribute bc he hates it#and it just feeds into how he's seen as violent and feral#meanwhile ur a force to be reckoned with I DONT KNOW#anyway.. yeah. ideas are welcome!! if u want!! or have one!! u want help with <33#caitie answers#anon

I forgot to mention that I saw the trailer for the new the The Hunger Games movie when I went and saw Blue Beetle (the prequel, you know?) and it does look really good (even though at first I was unsure about it). I'm probably for sure going to see it when it comes out. Though this will be the first time that I haven't read the book first... unless I do end up reading the book between now and then.
#friends how do we feel about the 'the ballad of songbirds and snakes' novel?#because for me personally. and a lot of people i know... i honestly preferred the hunger games movies more than the books (even though you#have to love and appreciate the books. of course. because without them there would be no films)#is it the same with the prequel?#though i also know that many fans prefer the books and hate the movies: thinking the movies left out too much and that kind of thing#but yeah. since i DID prefer the movies. and think there's a good chance it might be the same way again. i'm thinking i might just watch th#movie first or maybe not even read the book at all#even though i'm usually of the mind of always reading the book. of course. and usually first#i think my reasons for preferring the movies are as follows... i really hated katniss in the books. i'm sorry. but i did. but seeing her#brought to life with the way jennifer lawrence played her really made me love her#also. people complain about some things the movies left out. and i definitely get that. to each their own#but i personally love the things the movies ADDED! that we didn't get to see since we're stuck in katniss' pov. that i think just bettered#the stories so much#and some (surely not all) of the things that were left out that people complained about i feel like aren't THAT needed?#like they didn't explain the avoxes#but i also feel like if you're smart you can clearly figure out what the capitol did to them#idk. this is just my opinion of course. anyone is free to disagree#but i say all as this as someone who isn't SUPER into the hunger games#i only read the books once. years ago. and i haven't seen the movies in a while. so i'm sure there are things i may have forgotten and migh#be getting wrong here#oh! another thing too is that i've seen people mention that they felt like suzanne collins' writing style with thg is almost script-like.#even though it's not a script of course#and that that might be another reason that i. and so many others prefer them as movies#because it was almost like she was writing the books TO be made into movies

don't mind me just thinking of the parallels of Mia and Ethan/ Katniss and Peeta especially with Peetas hjacking (getting programmed to kill Katniss)
god Ethan and Katniss just being underprepared and not qaulified at all for the mental mine field they find their loved ones in
#also zoe baker and that quote from katniss about the avox girl in the first book#things to think about when rereading#resident evil#the hunger games#mia winters#ethan winters#katniss everdeen#peeta mellark#mithan#everlark

Watched Mocking Jay for the first time today and a fanfiction idea popped into my head when they finally introduced the concept of an Avox
#of course an avox can know sign language what a concept#so like. we watch Katniss get blown up so many times and in the books we know she loses her hearing multiple times#I want the Pollux teaching Katniss to sign fic#I think I oughta write it?? I'm thinking about it
