So, as we know the hunger games is treated like a show and a big event in the Capitol, right? And it is assumed that you can re watch old games and such. Do you think there’s games fan fiction?

saw a girl on my train who looked soooo much like how i imagine annie cresta that it was Crazy

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

Personally, it's always a bit wild to me to see commentators interact with the Hunger Games franchise as if Collins were writing science fiction stories instead of essays with faces. She's just not that interested in fleshing out side characters or digging into the details of the worldbuilding. These characters are concepts and symbols before they're people. There's an almost mathematical precision to who and what she explores and how deeply she does it. This is a step or two away from pure allegory. If she were writing a couple of centuries ago, she'd have named her characters things like Innocence and Anger and Watch-Carefully-Your-Soul-Lest-Ye-Be-Damned, but since she's writing for modern audiences, she has to settle for puns and allusions. If she has another essay to write, she'll assign some faces to it; she's not going to look into backstories or other eras just for the sake of storytelling, and it's not a failing as a writer that she doesn't.

a piece of me dies every time im reading a fic and taylor swift lyrics pop up😭 then i realize the description of the oc or “reader” are very white coded like OH! that’s not…

suzanne collins : “so in the epilogue of mockingjay, katniss only refers to her children as the girl and the boy-”

people who read with one eye shut : “BECAUSE SHE DOESN’T LOVE HER KIDS AND WAS FORCED INTO HAVING THEM BY THE EVIL PEETA MELLARK?”

suzanne collins probably : “because i couldn’t decide on two names i liked.”

bait / hook / line / sinker

so, like imagine finnick breaks up with reader (who is also a past victor) to protect her from the capitol and everything right, but he didn’t tell her why he broke up with her. he just straight up broke up with her and so she lowkey hates him. and then they both end up in the quarter quell together and finnick keeps trying to get her to talk to him (and maybe forgive him) and she eventually does and they’re back together yasss

and then she gets captured by the capitol and when she returns to district 13 she remembers absolutely nothing except that she hates finnick, and we’re back to square one

so basically lovers to exes/enemies to lovers again to exes/enemies again to lovers again!!

Finnick not realizing Katniss loved Peeta (not in a romantic sense, just in general) has never made sense to me because he had to agree to die for Peeta or else he'd lose Katniss.

I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts about this.

new obsession unlocked

Name one thing worse than looking up angst and only smut popping up

[queenlawrenceskingdom]

Ok but how many people know about Katniss’ “secret lake house”? Seems like every generation has had a use for the place, and the more shocked they would be to know Snow had spent time there as well
