my unimportant tv and movie pet peeve is when there’s a prop picture that absolutely no one put effort into making look in-universe

[trampled-and-melting]

i'm still thinking about this. if someone wrote a fic where capitol people have fad water bottles full of real precious gems to infuse the water with??? something??? i assume??? i would be like. oh that's kinda funny but a little heavy handed. no one is that stupid. no one is that obsessed with useless opulence.

and. well.

ya know sometimes i think i'm a little too easy on the capitol. in terms of stupid shit to spend limitless money on. sometimes i feel like we could be doing. more.

people LOVE to talk about the smirk after the “if it weren’t for the baby” line drop in the movies but in the books peeta doesn’t smirk he literally cries thinking about the life he could’ve had that’s no longer a possibility since he is going back into the arena to die for a second time like how could the movies get this so WRONG and people praise it

personally i think it would have escalated to the point of at least one of them committing suicide. possibly both.

when katniss and peeta threaten to poison themselves, it's a ploy to force the capitol to send them home. but if cato and clove made it to that point, i think they both might actually feel lost and betrayed enough to go through with it before the capitol could stop them.

If it was Cato and Clove at the end of the Games, that revoking of the two victors rule (I think) would be more disastrous for them than it was for Katniss and Peeta.

Katniss felt like she'd been made into a fool, but I think Cato and Clove would have that feeling on top of full-on betrayal. They spent their lives not only training for these Games but have been raised to respect them. They have this belief that the Games are an honor and that the Capitol is to be worshipped for the opportunity.

Some people think they would have just fought, and one would slaughter the other, but I think there's a pretty high chance that they would pull something similar to Katniss' idea. Maybe even with more spite because they'd be so pissed that their trust (that they've basically had since birth) had been broken and their whole worlds come crashing down from it.

Despite being kids from District 2 or being Careers, they had as much potential to spearhead a revolution.

katniss: ya know, i can really see myself loving this boy

everyone else: hey katniss we really need you to Love That Boy

katniss: 😠 well now i don't want to

The Hunger Games has the FUNNIEST arranged marriage of all time btw. Katniss realizes she'll have to marry Peeta and she's obviously upset so Haymitch tries to comfort her by saying "you could do a lot worse" and Katniss is like "well DUH of course I could do worse than Peeta he's the best & handsomest person on the face of the planet but that's not the POINT I want to be able to choose for MYSELF". Then she goes and chooses Peeta anyway lol. Comedy gold I tell you

Hot take perhaps but I don’t like the “life of a victor” line in the movies. I’ve seen people use it as some sort of cute thing, but i feel the point of the series is that the victors were not strong because of their titles as victors. They were just pieces in a political game larger than the actual arena. They were strong because they were smart and survivors (and there was definitely an element of luck to that). Katniss and Peeta don’t have “a life of victors” after the war. The beauty of post-war is they’re not playing in the capitol’s game at all anymore. They’re just trying to live their lives, period.

Johanna tilts her head back against the wall, eyes fixed on a point on the ceiling. "If you'd have told me two years ago that I'd be fucking living like this–" She cuts off.

Finnick perks up, honestly curious. "What? What would you have said?"

She's silent for a few seconds, and then she rolls her eyes. "I'd have said cry me a river and pass the gravy." Finnick snorts incredulously, and she gives him the edge of a smile. "I'm just saying, the grass looks a hell of a lot greener on this side of the fence. You want another drink?"

they're so fun to write

i'm gonna log a vote for johanna because she's one of my personal favorites but honestly go where your heart takes you

Imagine Capitolites have little "I sponsored" stickers like those "I voted stickers." Just to show off that they did and could afford to.

[trampled-and-melting]

yes you absolutely should!

Ok anyone here who's been following my longfic Love in a Foxhole. tell me. would you prefer a relatively short annie chapter that feels like filler or another finnick chapter with real plot in it.

[trampled-and-melting]

campaign signs in capitol people's yards but it's just

MAHOGANY SPENCER DISTRICT 1 FOR VICTOR 66TH HUNGER GAMES

Imagine Capitolites have little "I sponsored" stickers like those "I voted stickers." Just to show off that they did and could afford to.

[trampled-and-melting]

i have like five google docs entitled some variant of "the victor project" and ya know it's really hard to build something in the ballpark of 60 characters from the ground up

do we think district citizens get vaccines? on the one hand, medical care seems pretty shit in the districts. on the other, an outbreak in any of the districts could be pretty catastrophic for the entire country. thoughts?
