Im relistening to ballad of songbirds and snakes and i still dont understand the authors choice of snow as protagonist. Its interesting but it isnt especially compelling compared to a lot of other characters in the initial books. Like where is our prequel detailing haymitch's story? We've seen multiple different perspectives of a tribute through katniss's eyes. And now i guess the author wants to show the capitol through a citizen's eyes? But i would much rather see it through another third party. Rewatching catching fire reminded me of how we got tiny glimpses of haymitch's world. Katniss is so self centered she never stops to think about anyone but herself unless its shoved immediately in front of her priorities. But unlike her, the audience catches and sympathizes with haymitch's tiny comments and snippits of how miserable he's been trying to straddle the worlds of the 'district' and 'capitol' for decades. And being the only mentor available for twelve. He didnt have a mentor in the games, so when he suddenly found himself on the other side of things he must have had people help him out. And his friendships with the other victors - chaff, mags, beetee, joanna (my favorite), etc - would be extremely interesting to read about.

Whereas snow...i just dont care about. Its interesting from a plot and political world building perspective. But the man himself is boring af. I think thats my one complaint about the book. That and the ending which i STILL dont understand. There were no hints leading up to it, it came out of nowhere. And the 'romance' was even more lackluster than in the original novels lmao. There was a point to katniss and peeta not really seeming 'romantic'. But it felt like the author was trying and failing to make snow and lucy grey be 'in love'.

“we would together kill, hunt, seek revenge and then bars came to contain me from my potential” okay so a timeframe before alcatraz, which can only mean it’s referring to the war. q!Cellbit is recounting memories with the “white eyes” q!Bad

mannnn if plutarch really did plan out this long game? jfc

[districtfourmermaid]

Overall, I feel like he's matured a bit since the 74th. Maybe it's the Victory, and his new social position in District 12. Maybe it's coming to terms with what Katniss went through in the Games and finally seeing more from her perspective. Maybe it's the sense of the budding revolution and playing a role on the national scale. He doesn't have as many of those annoying fuckboy moments in CF that drove me up the wall in HG. I'll be the first to admit he grows on me, and as much as I'll shit on HG Peeta, CF Peeta has a slightly better head on those doughboy shoulders.

I like Peeta when he's just being a friend to Katniss when she needs one. He only really bothers me when he's looking for more.

Ok, points to Peeta for apologizing for his behavior on the train back to 12.

I can't believe I just saw Perpetua in a yellow(!!!) maxi(!!!) dress. With feathers(!!!)

Honestly, we should just banish people to the districts for three absolute violations in one article of clothing. And - a maxi dress! No one's been wearing them since spring at least!

(Do you think she was trying to achieve something? So many things wrong could only have been purposeful...)

💎shimerring-gem1 follow

who's even named perpetua?????? is that a name?????

I do'nt think anyone was ever named that lolllll

👠fashio-capitol-nista follow

They're all such idiots tbh, her mother's hair is going gray and the woman's doing nothing about it. She probably thought it - xddd - pretty - to call her daughter rhat! Once I heard Pep explain to someone that it means "forever" or something, who even cares, but she's like that.

I mean - yellow! In Spring 2312!

Now with the games approaching, we're probably going to see an uptick in those rebel idiots complaining about imagined ethics ugh

You cannot force children to fight to the death and complain that people say it's evil

would you prefer millions of children die in literal wars??? you people pretend you're so high and righteous but you only care for that single 24 and no one else, because it suits your propaganda purposes!

🍭 quintiasquee follow

besides those kids get to experience the luxuries of the capitol so on the whole they're actually better off for it haven't you seen the transmissions of the reapings?? they fight for the chance to compete!

You know what, after Rue's death I don't know if I want to watch anymore... I feel sick. Idk but after I saw her... and the flowers... and then the shop windows with children's clothes and roses. It feels as if she was just like all the children here.

Edit: please stop sending me anon hate

Edit: death threats, really?

i have shamelessly enjoyed every role i have seen him in since but finnick is still sam at his hottest 👍👍👍 the swagger and charm and goofy flirting, his loyalty and careful protection of old mags who 'basically raised him' even when it holds him back, how he unquestioningly transferred that loyalty to katnisd when he saw katniss befriend mags, his unwavering love for his 'crazy' girl back home despite all the people in the capitol trying to win his heart with riches and beauty ;_;

like i will forever resent these books for three deaths: cinna, prim, and finnick ;_; i wanted him and annie to be free and happy with their baby

[firequeenofficial]

Okay, I promised I'd do a liveblog of when I read the Hotguy Comics Zine, so here it is! Spoilers to follow, proceed with caution!

Okay, right off the bat, the first page is beautiful! The lighting is so insane, and the contrasting blues/purples and oranges are worked together so well. Also, HG looks so squeeshable, I wanna squoosh his face like a grandmother.

[lunaroceanic]

First round of HGCZ liveblog reactions!

The warning symbol system is very cool and considerate!

The meta framing of the first comic is So Fucking Funny and perfectly sets up Scar’s desire to be admired and seen as a comic book-style superhero. The way it starts breaking down at the end and the re-use of the same jpeg of himself is so cnjsncnsncn

THE MEETCUTE. EEEHEEEHEE DDVAU I SEE YOUUUU

i fucking ADORE cornpaper’s style, the characters are so Shaped and Expressive. Ooo setting up the people who know scar’s identity! Plus showing his acting job and how he balances that with the hero jazz. Love the “saying the hotguy logo verbally somehow” bit, I know exactly what post that’s referencing lmfaoooo. Ren suggests a hero organization! THE FLOWERS. I’M WEAK.

MUMBLR AND CHATTER/M. DOES MUMBO OWN TUMBLR. IS DOC THE ELON MUSK EQUIVALENT OF THIS UNIVERSE. THE QUEERBAITING DISCOURSE JDJGJKDJSJ. This part is just. So well done. It’s very accurate, fucking hilarious, and serves as really good worldbuilding

GRIAN CHAPTER!!! THE WAY ALL HIS PERSONAS ARE INTEGRATED IS SO GOOD FKKSNC. Sherlock grian. Ariana griande. Permit manager WITH the hold music. The way they’re all chatting in his Mind Palace. MIDNIGHT ALLEY COME ONNN. The action scene is really well done, I love the colors and the movement. THE SCULLLLLK

THE SCULK SNAILLLL oh im gonna love this. Can I just say I Adore everybody’s different interpretations of their outfits, they all slay. Hg and Cg’s banter is really good, I LOVE the juxtaposed perspectives page: “this fight is…not my favorite”/“this fight fucking sucks.” “ARSON!! :D” GRIAN FUCKIGN. FIREBOMBING THE PLACE. SCREAMING. FHE FUCKIGN. MERCH. JUSTBHIS FACE ON THE SHIRT IM GONNA THROW UP KAUGHING. I see that fond look. Cub absolutely knows. Oh and of course he got possessed because he seasoned his fucking pizza with the Evil Goo why wouldn’t he. This was really fucking good

The whole email segment is pure gold. Really good characterization for everyone involved: bdub’s obsession with being scar’s favorite, cub’s bs excuses for scar’s absence, Grian’s frustration. LASER CHICKENS. doc’s there and just wants credit for his really good chicken crime. The fistfight is probably fake. Pearl is the only person really doing her job. Hg and cg actually working well together. Bdubs and cub conspiring against bdubs’ enemies. Threatening scar with the lilo&stitch not-a-virus. Agreeing to get pizza together at the end. GOLD.

Doc being a fanboy of actor!scar oh my GOD KDJSJFJSJ. TCD MENTION!! Beef between doc and bdubs, always good. MORE MUMBLR YESSSSS. PROFESSIONAL HOSTAGE AS A VALID CAREER PATH I’M KSNFNDJDD. Mending beach as a location is Very good. QUEEN JELLIE GETTING MORE LIKES THAN SCAR AS 👏SHE 👏SHOULD👏
