A scene from mockingjay that didn't make it in the movie adaptation but was too funny not be (poorly) adapted visually.

thinking abt how chaff refused a prosthetic hand after winning the games. About how the captiol wants pretty, unscarred victors. How they avoid facing the reality of what they’ve done by wiping the victors completely clean of the visual evidence of their injuries.
abt how chaff refused to let them forget. How he kept his arm on display.

“No one has ever doubted that Peeta’s defiance was motivated by love. So maybe President Snow will prefer keeping him alive, crushed and heartbroken, as a living warning to others.” (CF, 292)
The foreshadowing goes crazyyy

EVERTHORNE /HAWTHNISS HEADCANONS
note: i love these two dearly, both platonic and or romantically! if they're not your cup of tea, that's fine!
gale has had several variations of saying katniss’ name: captain, catnip and very rarely, katpiss to annoy her. as time passes, he goes on to call her more cat-like endearments like mittens (to her dismay.)
i believe that post-war, they do take a long time away from each other, whether that's a long stretch of months or even a few years. all in all, i believe that they would never abandon their bond and would find their ways back to each other in slow burn, slowly but absolutely surely.
katniss still looks after the hawthorne kids despite gale being in two — she does this knowing that back in the day, when it was prim, gale had done everything in his power to protect her and keep her safe, both times over when she was in the arena. she trades the loss of her mother (physically) for hazelle, who has always been such to her no matter what, and spends the better part of her healing tending to their relationship.
around post-arena days before catching fire, she'd spend days with gale splitting food that she bought from a merchant storefront; giving him a glimpse into her small luxuries, even if most times he finds himself refusing out of humbleness.
disregarding the epilogue, i think katniss should've had the choice to go through a long procession of healing in twelve until she slowly was able to make sense of her life and what she wanted, eventually coming back to gale to try and emulate the domestic life they might've had if they ran away, allowing friendship to take the forefront firstly.

There is something I find endearing about how much of a fangirl I was for The Hunger Games as a teenager.
For example, at age 14, I wrote in my journal that I’d “make a paper doll of Peeta and bury it outside my window if he died”. Waiting for Mockingjay to come out was probably THE event that defines my 2010.
It’s so cringy but also cute to look back at how passionate I was. Between the books and the movies, THG carried me through several years of my life and I’m grateful to have it continue next month.

No but the Hunger Games really said "what do you hate more- the atrocities or the people who commit them against you? Because like it or not there IS a difference. If you hate the people who commit acts of pure evil more than you hate the acts themselves, what will stop you from becoming just like your enemies in your pursuit of justice? What will keep you from commiting those very same acts against THEM when the opportunity arises? And what then? The cycle of pain and suffering will never stop. Round and round it'll go. Nothing will ever change. But. BUT. If you hate the atrocities. If you hate the vile, senseless acts MORE than you hate the people who did them to you. If you are able to see that evil is evil regardless of who does it... The cycle ends with you. No, you may never get justice. But you will never be responsible for making others, even your enemies, suffer the same crimes you have. The atrocities will never be committed by you, never by your hand. And that's the way you change the world. It's the ONLY way" and that's why I am sure it will never stop being one of the most relevant works of fiction ever created

I think the most radical thing the hunger games does is tell young people that the most revolutionary thing you can do is have unconditional love for humanity. Katniss throughout the entire series is guided by a deep sense of compassion for the people around her. It is what causes her to volunteer, to bury rue, to mercy kill cato, its why she tries to save peeta, why finnick telling her to remember who the real enemy is works, and even though her compassion for the larger world falters when peeta is kidnapped, it comes back when she visits hospitals and asks for mercy for other victors and ultimately, it is love and belief in a better humanity that makes her kill coin. Through it all, she maintains an unfaltering belief in the fundemental goodness of humanity, which is diametrically opposed to dr gaul's and snow's worldview. Peeta is even more unwaveringly compassionate
So the series tells young people that the most revolutionary thing you can be is compassionate. Let compassion drive your politics. Let yourself believe in the fundemental goodness of people. And i think that's deeply important in a world that touts the superiority of pure reason or logic, to allow yourself to be guided by something as emotional as compassion. Katniss everdeen tells us that your politics should be rooted in compassion in a world that thinks detatchment or cynicism is intelligence and i think thats v cool

what makes Snow such a formidable villain within THG universe is that nothing he does was set in stone. there was no sense of inevitability about his actions and his brutality. Snow had enough perspective of poverty, capital cruelty, district hunger and not to mention his own arena experience’ and yet he actively chose at every moment to stray from natural goodness. its even more terrifying in the sense that he had the ability to care. Snow is not a mindless sociopath, he displays feelings to others such as sejanus, lucy grey and tigris but ultimately he will always choose himself. his ability to betray those he cared about in order yo advance himself makes him so much more than the stereotypical villain who is forced into his actions.

suzanne collins is such a genius... the cultural phenomenon of her series leading to the hanging tree house remixes, mockingjay being milked for two (bad) movies, the capitol-inspired makeup palettes, the halloween costumes, the explosion of the market for dystopia, the butchering of her characters and removal of disabilities, disfiguration, and racial tension + representation to sell more tickets, the extra gale scenes to fuel discourse, and the audience showing up to cinemas to watch what was pretty honestly marketed to them (the jacob vs edwardification of the symbolic love story and also to watch children fight to the death) it's just so ridiculously ironic i would say you can't write this shit, but she did write about it... in The Hunger Games published 2008
