Katniss and Haymitch’s “having it out” conversation that’s just them both blaming each other for Peeta being captured :)

Katniss and Haymitch meeting each others eyes in mutual dread when the rebels successfully cut across the Peeta footage and everyone else is cheering :)

Haymitch telling Coin’s people that they don’t Peeta like he and Katniss do :)

Haymitch needing to know right after the bombing exactly how many minutes Peeta’s warning saved so that he and Katniss can be assured Peeta wasn’t being beaten in vain :)

“In the end the only person I truly want to comfort me is Haymitch, because he loves Peeta, too.” :)

In conclusion, I’m suing Suzanne Collins for emotional distress :)

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.

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.

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

[iwishiwasplayinglegorightnow]

i couldn't find the original so i made another one 😭 but yeah anyway i can't stop thinking about it as i reread tbosas

[clovemaysilee]

clato and everlark foils my beloved. katniss immediately calls peeta's name out, just from pure instinct, and how it "makes sense" to protect someone from home because of a sense of loyalty and principles, leading to a bond of deep friendship and partnership and love. her distrust of him, which was mostly due to the circumstances of the games, fell away completely with this news, and she expresses the feeling that he was never a threat to her (i forgot to take a picture of that part).

i really adore the detail about how "any" tribute, not even from 12, in katniss's eyes would have a duty to ally with their partner, and that she's so confident that cato and clove are "surely" maintaining the alliance. it has the same energy as her saying there is "no doubt" cato is nearby at the feast, keeping close guard over clove. because that is how she is with peeta, the moment it becomes safe for her to care about him, which is why there isn't a question in her eyes that even the bloodthirsty murderers from a career district would be that way towards each other. in the book cato proves her right.

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

[youngpettyqueen]

Seeing all the reactions to the casting for the next Hunger Games prequel movie and just being like “damn I forgot people liked these movies”

[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

Haymitch and Katniss drinking together after the quarter quell twist gets announced has got to be one of my favorite scenes in the series. I could read 5 more chapters just of this.

Like please 😭

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?"
