Gale, the humble king. "The credit for the survivors' escape has landed squarely on Gale's shoulders, though he's loath to accept it."

These Seam kids and their resistance to tooting their own horns. It's ok, I'll do it for them!

Gale brought as many people as he could to the Meadow and through the fence. He's a leader. And once in the wild, Prim and Mrs. Everdeen stun me by caring for so many wounded with so few resources, and he starts handling the food.

>800 hungry and injured people. 2 bows. 2 sets of arrows. A single hunting knife. A single fishing net. He fucking did it for 3 days. The Everdeens tended to the injured from a bombing for 3 days.

I can't even imagine how hard that was. But he takes care of his people. Even the few survivors from the Town, who are less accustomed to hunger, he takes care of them. No matter how used to starving you are, 3 days is a long ass time to go without a reliable food source. Hunting with Katniss with these resources, he's only been catching enough to feed their two families or sell in the Hob. You gotta turn the work way way up to make that stretch to 10% of your District.

He may be loath to accept the credit, but he never gets enough, imo. Neither do Prim and Mrs. Everdeen for all that medical care. You just know they never slept.

Literally the realest 16 year old blond kid/medium height king/cake artist/jock to grace YA fiction. Everyone else go home

I've been rereading my middle school favorites again. It's kind of cool. Like opening a time capsule or reading an old diary entry.

I'm rereading the hunger games now. everything hits different this year, not because my life is anything like the hunger games obviously but stuff resonates.

the descriptions of the crippling grief, the arguments about ceasefire, the parts where they get bombed and I can imagine it so vividly because I felt the impact and heard the booming myself. the propaganda videos, the talk of psychological terror. how absolutely insane katniss and finnick go when the people they love are held by the capitol.

everything is different this year.

I'm rereading The Hunger Games trilogy with a lot more insight on it and the characters than 14yo me did

Updates and lots of unnecessary commentary to come

5am thoughts about how asuna is the same age as the gen 2 cast…

[mariatesstruther]

the last of us x hunger games au in which a young and rebellious ellie is chosen in place of katniss and mentored by joel, district 12’s one and only victor. he’s not at all interested in helping her, too busy being a dick, left cold jaded from his own daughter’s death in the games a few years prior

Read of The Island of Dr. Moreau by H. G. Wells (1896) (104pgs)

I love Gale's shift in the shack by the lake after Katniss spills the beans about the uprising in District 8. When Snow was just threatening him and his and Katniss's families, he was ready to run. But once he hears that the time for revolution is upon them, he can't. People in the mines are talking, and the mines will have solidarity with the textile mills. And the fishing boats. And the tech factories. And the farms. And all the rest. If others in Panem are rising, then so is he.

Because if it isn't just him that's in danger, or people he alone can support, then he must stay. The lives of District people mean less than nothing to the Capitol, and "that's why we have to join the fight!...What about the other families, Katniss? The ones who can't run away?"

i know this has been rehashed but. peeta being a symbol of hope and beauty and being the one to show katniss how to find those amidst her fire. okay.

[spideyhexx]

i love your tags about thg switching gender roles and stuff because it KILLS me. in the best way.

like lucy gray being the parallel to peeta and sejanus being the parallel to katniss….whew

YEA I get the comparisons between Lucy gray and katniss, but Sejanus???? Idk I love the Sejanus and katniss parallels and it isn’t a complete parallel but I think Sejanus haunts Coryo just as much as Lucy Gray does

also idk I think there’s smth so much more interesting at points in the book at least (from what I’ve read) about Sejanus and Coriolanus’ relationship because Coryo honestly admires Sejanus SO much yet can’t allow himself to ever be like him because of his own prejudices and feelings

Like Coryo is just an insecure man with mental issues and a product of his environment at the end of the day lmao and he envies that Sejanus can be so passionate openly without caring what others may think of him, cause then to Coryo that makes him weak, he’s showing his weaknesses. But then when Katniss comes along, I think she does the same, but in a way that doesn’t come off as weak. Which scares him!

what iffff ..... I brought peeta back ?????
