After a couple hours, I reach an old house near the edge of the lake. Maybe "house" Is too big a word for it. It's only one room, about four metres square. My father thought that a long time ago there were a lot of buildings - you can still see some of the foundations - and people came to them to play and fish in the lake. This house outlasted the others because it's made of concrete. Floor, roof, ceiling. Only one of four glass windows remains, wavy and yellowed by time. There's no plumbing and no electricity, but the fireplace still works...
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
Page: 113
Y'all omg I need grandpa Coriolanus to see this place. I know Katniss described it to him but i need to see him seeth in that place.
Y'all the streaming of the three hours hunger games in the books is so goddamn similar to our movies. In the book, Katniss, Peeta and Ceasar watch the three hours version of the hunger games in an interview and Katniss says that it's the first time the Capitol is showing a different version of the hunger games... A love story. The Capitol audience ooh and ah at them curling up together. Even Haymitch only sends them food when they act romantic. In the movies, it's the exact same thing, we made teams ffs! Team Gale or Team Peeta, take your pick! So many people forgot about the actual brutality of the games and for years, the first thing they asked hunger games fans was who they would pick for Katniss' love interest.
We saw them kissing in the arena and forgot they were in a cave, fighting infections and starving, all the while hiding from a person that wants to kill them both.
If I had a nickel for every time an actor named Josh played a character in the hunger games series, I'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice.
Can we all agree that once K&P are in a real relationship Katniss gets to be a needy little menace?? She’s already dramatic in canon and she loves being a little shit for the sake of humour.
I’m imagining her and Peeta at the lake sunning themselves after swimming all day. When Peeta starts to get up because the suns going down Katniss just groans but doesn’t move. When he asks her if she’s coming she’s just goes “I couldn’t possibly stand up, my legs don’t work! Carry me?” Smile smile, wink wink.
Or maybe they’re in their living room and Peeta doesn’t go for the seat right next to her for no particular reason, so she just makes a disappointed sound and says “Man, I’m freezing. All alone, on this very lonely couch.” When Peeta starts to get up she’s just like “No, no. I can suffer through it!”
When she volunteered, everyone saluted her, she didn't get why they would salute her. She came to the conclusion that they were doing it because they knew her father and loved her sister.
The entire catching fire book
When they were going to the Capitol she sees Peeta cry and thinks it's a pity strategy like Johanna used.
When Finnick Odar was giving Peeta mouth to mouth CPR in catching fire, she still has absolutely zero clue that Peeta just died (that might be shock but I'm still gonna add it in)
When she hears Peeta and Gale discuss how she's gonna choose one of them based on how she needs them, she thought that in that case, she wouldn't need either of them
She's hilarious.
i genuinely love that the hunger games is in katniss’s pov bc shes the one character that has no clue about whats going on, clearly does not want to be there, and shes just walking through life in a permanent state of utter confusion. and idk i really relate to that.
look i know the hunger games fandom is entrenched in songbirds and snakes brainrot right now but i just wanna mention how horribly genius the tesserae system is
like. it's designed to keep the poorest districts from ever winning the games, by keeping the population of those districts on the verge of starvation without ever tipping the line too far. the poorer you are, the more you need your children to take tesserae. the more tesserae your children take, the more times their name is added to the reaping pool. the more times a name appears in the reaping pool, the more likely they are to be drawn over a person who doesn't need to take tesserae. a kid who's been surviving off of tesserae grain and oil is exponentially more likely to die early on in the games due to the effects of malnutrition (low muscle mass and body fat, not to mention the mental consequences).
pretty much the only reason katniss was physically capable of surviving the games was because she'd been able to catch meat in the forest. surviving on just the tesserae she was taking for her mother and prim, there's no way she would've had the physical strength to make it out alive.
say what you want about the realism of the hunger games but the tesserae system is horrifyingly well-designed to do exactly what it's supposed to do.
Edit: guys I wrote a fic that's meant to dissect all these horribly genius systems involved in the functioning of Panem, check it out
Rereading the hunger games prequel I realized just how much Snow must've hated the mockingjays. Sure, everybody says it and emphasizes it when they're talking about him but they don't mention the extent of it.
In the book, his first encounter with jabberjays is during the hanging of Arlo where he calls out for Lil to run, like in the movie. He later met Dr. Kay who was the one who made the jabberjays. His crew of peacekeepers were tasked with capturing mockingjays and jabberjays, when he talks to Dr. Kay and found out mockingjays were a product of jabberjays and mockingbirds mating.
One time when he saw a mockingjay, he thought they were district and that at least the jabberjays were capitol.
At the end of the book, he tries to kill the mockingjays singing Lucy Grays song and fails. He shoots everywhere and yet couldn't kill a single one.
Now 60 years later, he still hadn't managed to eradicate them. More over, Katniss uses the mockingjay as the rebellion symbol, unknowingly sparking his hate for the species. The bird with the exact same song must've killed him on the inside.
Y'all I just found a new weird way to shut up my intrusive thoughts. Whenever I'm walking around or something and get a weird thought I shouldn't or have the urge to act upon it, I just quietly say 'Shh!'. It's like I'm shushing a f-ing baby and omg why does it work so good
literally feels like a myth that there are people who don't struggle with basic tasks like getting out of bed or going to the shops or seeing a friend for coffee. how does everything not feel like a painstaking chore for them. how do they have the physical and emotional energy every single day
