No but the Hunger Games really said "what do you hate more- the atrocities or the people who commit them against you? Because like it or not there IS a difference. If you hate the people who commit acts of pure evil more than you hate the acts themselves, what will stop you from becoming just like your enemies in your pursuit of justice? What will keep you from commiting those very same acts against THEM when the opportunity arises? And what then? The cycle of pain and suffering will never stop. Round and round it'll go. Nothing will ever change. But. BUT. If you hate the atrocities. If you hate the vile, senseless acts MORE than you hate the people who did them to you. If you are able to see that evil is evil regardless of who does it... The cycle ends with you. No, you may never get justice. But you will never be responsible for making others, even your enemies, suffer the same crimes you have. The atrocities will never be committed by you, never by your hand. And that's the way you change the world. It's the ONLY way" and that's why I am sure it will never stop being one of the most relevant works of fiction ever created

When I say I love a character, I actually mean the quality of their writing. I love how they are written. Like problematic characters are interesting and I love them for it, but it doesn't mean that I would love to meet that kind of person in real life. I'm not saying that wholesome characters are boring though because there are a lot of wholesome characters who are written well.

they often call Peeta the Jabberjay- a jabberjay is the muttation created by the Capitol to repeat information and the rebels used to feed incorrect information. I contend that Peeta wasn't the Jabberjay...he was the mockingbird that helped create the Mockingjay.

Bro I'm watching Catching Fire for the first time and like I know this movie is a decade old at this point, but why are they giving Peeta so much to do. He literally spends that whole book following Katniss around while his buddies try to protect him. Why is he fighting in the water rather than getting picked up and dragged to shore by Finnick? Why does he get to hobble away from the mist between Katniss and Finnick rather than be given a little piggy back ride? I think the ability to give Josh Hutcherson a piggy back ride should have been a requirement when they did Finnick's casting call
