LENORE DOVE ‼️‼️☝️☝️

[atelierlili]

Oh Miss Lenore Dove, I love you like all-fire </3

I had to take a break from reading the book.

[incorrect-tbosas]

asterid: why are haymitch and burdock not talking to each other?

lenore dove: they had a fight

asterid: then why are they sitting back to back holding hands?

lenore dove: they get sad when they fight

[suzieloveships]

It's a little poetic that The Raven is written in the first person perspective and there for it's from Poe's perspective. And therefor Haymitch, forever haunted by his Lenore, is technically Edgar Allen Poe.

Egdar Allen Poe, the creator of Red Death that sneaked inside the walls where "hale and light-hearted" rich party while poor suffer outside. The Red Death that killed the "happy and dauntless and sagacious" prince (but not before haunting him for a moment)

Please tell me this makes sense

i’m still bitter that they didn’t cast katniss around the ability to sing beautifully. and i can’t help but notice how, after the songs and music in the og trilogy was disrespected in the films, suzanne wrote two prequels in which it’s impossible to separate the story from the music and characters.

COVEY SPOILERS!!!!

Do NOT read below the line if you have NOT finished Sunrise On The Reaping !!!

You’ve been WARNED

Just realized the covey graves are the color of their Name Colors

Lucy Gray’s is Slate

Maude Ivory’s is Creamy White

Lenore Dove’s is a gray rock speckled with pink & purple

(See the definition of Dove Color that LD shows Haymitch on page 7)

DID ANYONE ELSE CONNECT THIS??

[evermarch]

Horrid prompt: Haymitch figures out the gum drops were poisoned when he feeds one to Lenora Doves geese, he now knows Snows after Lenora Dove, his life becomes a living hell as he tries to save her.

haymitch sees the gumdrops and decides they need to run. fast. they pack quick. he has nothing left for him in district 12 and tam amber and clerk carmine understand that lenore dove has to go just like lucy gray did, but at least she gets to say goodbye.

they’re into the woods and headed toward the lake. haymitch knows that snow has some covey knowledge. but why would he suspect that snow knows anything at all about the lake? the lake house is safety, and a good place to stop. he breathes a sigh of relief when he sees the concrete reflecting off the glistening water, appreciating the utter silence of the place. then lenore dove screams.

haymitch is immobilized by a taser. he can do nothing to stop lenore dove’s frozen body as it rises into the sky. the hovercraft was silent in waiting— he had no way of knowing. but he sees in her still expression that she did. and it takes until the hovercraft leaves and the mockingjays begin to mimic the sound of her scream for him to realize that that’s how she knew. he’s frozen, still, and injured. he can’t do anything but hear lenore dove over and over and over again. and when it stops, it’s not better. because that had been her last scream.

he returns to district 12, the only place where he can get any semblance of answers, of confirmation, of what he knows to be true. that his love is gone. he realizes quickly that he won’t learn anything until he goes to the capitol for his first games as a mentor. that’s how snow would ensure he’d get on that train rather than kill himself. so he goes with two of his neighbors fated to die.

he walks into the old apartment, the bottle of liquor which has not left his hand for a year dangling from his unsteady hand. it’s nicer this year, cleaner and more upscale. effie chatters on in his ear and oh, will she just shut up? ignoring the nuisance, he takes in the girl standing in the corner of the room. her eyes match the color in her name. her fate matches the girl from her ballad.

he closes his eyes and replays the moment he sees the girl again, over and over. worse than dead. but when he opens them he is not spared the image. because it repeats every year for the next 25 years.

he was right. it was her last scream. his dove would never sing again. she would be silent evermore.

[disregardcanon]

i think that the real tragedy of haymitch blaming himself for not looking at the gumdrops sooner, not realizing they were poisoned until he fed them to lenore dove, is that there was never going to be a world where she didn't die.

snow was GOING to kill her. it wasn't a little tehehe if you outsmart me here then i'll be done. he's not a man of his word! he doesn't deal with things fairly. if haymitch HAD caught onto the poisoned gumdrops before she ate them, snow would have figured out something else. another fire, perhaps? she already had a "criminal" record. he could have framed her for literally anything and had her hanged. she was already doomed and it wasn't anyone's fault but coriolanus snow's.

[triassictriserratops]

Do you think haymitch was a virgin ?

Me personally? absolutely not, but I absolutely respect people who view him in that way.

You have to understand that I come at this from the POV of my experiences as a young widow who lost my partner when I was 27.

The WidHoe Phase is a real thing in the community. 😅 Your heart is broken in ways that will never fully heal, but your body still works and it can still have needs sometimes. (ESPECIALLY young widows)

Add alcohol or drugs into the equation - welp, some very bad choices are made.

[imasradiantasthesun]

everybody stfu i’m thinking about the implication that the piano that lenore dove practiced on is the same one that madge would play for katniss 😭 suzanne collins your miiiiiiiiiiiiinnnndd

"I love you like all-fire"

[atelierlili]

waiting for the AU were Lenore Dove and Peeta are going around being crafty little artistic rebels, while Haymitch and Katniss was sitting around worried.

Then when their little darlings are in mortal danger, they flippout and fall ass backwards into lighting the peacekeeper HQ on fire.

[madzthemenace]

“I just stare into those burning blue eyes, letting her know she’s not dying alone. She’s with family. She’s with me. In her last moments, she released her grip enough to lock her pinkie around mine. Looking, I think, for a final confirmation of the promise we made to eachother. I not so she knows I understand and that I will try my best to bring the Capitol down, although I have never felt so powerless in my entire life.” (SOTR 307)

In the end, he does fulfils his promise. To Maysilee. To Ampert. And to Lenore Dove.

[incorrect-tbosas]

haymitch: is there a word that’s a mix of angry and sad?

lenore dove: malcontented, disgruntled, miserable, desolate

burdock: smad

[virtualtoybox]

SHES THE MOST SPECIALEST GIRL IN THE WHOLE WORLD……….

[transgender-daemon-faerie]

Haymitch says that Lenore is a Baird. So she’s Lucy Gray’s granddaughter. Which I thought before even reading the book bc dove is a shade of gray.

Maysilee quotes the song “nothing you can take from me is ever worth keeping” and says a couple other borderline covey things. This and the fact that tam amber makes them bird pins (it doesn’t say they purchased them, it’s implied they were a gift) makes me think Maude Ivory is the twine’s grandmother

Finally I think Burdock is related to Barb Azure. Iirc Barb is mentioned to be in a relationship with a boy in the Seam. Also, Haymitch says that Burdock and Lenore are related on “his ma’s side” and Maude Ivory tells us that “the girls” are all Baird cousins.

10 pages in, and now we have to guess that either Barb Azure, Maude Ivory, or Lucy Gray was Lenore Dove’s mother. Barb Azure was seeing the lady down the road so unlikely. I’ve always wanted Maude Ivory to be related to Katniss but with mention of BURDOCK EVERDEEN that may clear up at some point. Did Lucy Gray come back to District 12 when she couldn’t stay out in the woods on her own? Which one of them died in childbirth? Books need to be released on Fridays so I have all weekend to consume them!!
