Andddd here’s my chappy three thoughts 🥳🥳🥳

Hmmm Katniss saying that her mother has a dress made of velvet is actually really interesting because it shows that Mrs. Everdeen Lily-Rose really was well-er off before she married Katniss’ father Hunter.

Or did she get the velvet dress from Maysilee? Oh well, who knows.

Aww, Katniss’ nervous habit of touching soft things repeatedly to soothe herself 🤧🤧.

“Crying is not an option. There will be more cameras at the train station.” — someone tell that to Peeta 🤣🤣🤣.

Okay I gotta stop picking on Primmers, I know but like. How small is she that she sits on Katniss’ lap like a toddler but then in the following year is the same height as her? Doesn’t matter I know but still I wonder.

Okay so Mrs. E is the doctor for the people of the Seam? Idk I never thought about this but who does people like Peeta or Madge or Delly go to if they’re sick or hurt? Is there a still running apothecary shop that Katniss never mentions? Are her grandparents still running the family biz?

Also okay, I gotta stop having so many thoughts on all the lil details I know but like. Katniss says here she’s familiar with the herbs her mother doesn’t grow on her own so like a). Katniss is more of a healer than she leads on because no average person knows what kind of plant is medicinal and b). Her mother is just growing herbs and Katniss never mentions it again in the whole series? Or I just missed it.

Okay imma move on from this one singular paragraph but Gale and her made a pact a year ago that they’ll supply each other’s family with game if they were to be reaped... I’m feeling like their close friendship is probably only one year old then? Idk. Just my interpretation.

Honestly I love Katniss getting mad at her mom here.

She’s sixteen, for God’s sake, of course she’s angry at what her mother’s illness put her through.

Also I lowkey like that her mother got mad back because that lady in the movies had zero personality.

“Boys who are two to three times my size.” She sounds so little, omg 🥺🥺🥺.

“I don’t care if we’re rich, I just really want you to come home” 🤧🤧🤧😩😩😩😩 okay Primmers, you got me here.

“the Peacekeeper is at the door, signaling our time is up, and we're all hugging one another so hard it hurts and all I'm saying is ‘I love you. I love you both.’ And they're saying it back...” this is so sad leave me be 😫😫😫😫

Katniss is burying her face in a pillow to block out her emotions this is too much for me 🥵🥵🥵

Omg I forgot Peeta’s father visits Katniss 😅

Why does he visit Katniss?

She describes Peeta’s father as a “big, broad-shouldered man.” And then describes Peeta as stocky. Idk the comparison of the two descriptions has always led me to think Peeta is gonna be a big dude when he grows up like his father. This made no sense and had zero correlation but I thought, so I said it, no regrets

Oh he brought her cookies 🤧

WAIT WAIT WAIT. I just had a new thought, y’all. What if instead of the baker bringing cookies being a thing he does for all tributes, what if he’s bringing the cookies because Peeta asked him to, because he made them and wants to give them to Katniss and knows she’ll never accept / trust them coming from her competition? What if that’s the real reason the baker visited her in the first place? Because Peeta asked him to? This was such a shipper comment but idc, no regrets, remember?

Omg Peeta’s father is just mute 🤣🤣🤣

Between an abusive, angry mother and a mute for a father, the Mellark brothers must have had a fairytale of a childhood 😅😅😅😅.

But seriously #PoorPeetaMyBaby

Aww Peeta’s father is gonna help keep Prim alive 😭

Omg I just remembered he’s her mother’s ex boyfriend. Haidon Mellark, as I named him in my fics.

That one fic where he was thought to be Prim’s real father is just playing now in my head, rent free.

But does Katniss not realize that he may be offering to help Prim as a favor to her? Like she claims Prim is just so wonderful people adore her but there’s like zero evidence in the text that make her endearing? Okay I need to turn this bus around, I need to find a love for Primmy Deen.

Madge is not one for preamble apparently. No “hi, how are you? I’m sorry you’re gonna die? What will your last meal be?” Just right to “here, wear this family heirloom of mine, k thanks.”

I like that Madge had to kiss her cheek for Katniss to realize they were friends 😅😅😅.

I remember always loving her and Gale’s hug here. I’ve always felt like it was platonic, but especially when I first read the books and had zero preference one way or another for Gale or Peeta, I really liked how she said even with nothing romantic between them, “when he opens his arms, I don’t hesitate to go to him” or something I’m paraphrasing ok I’m lazy

Also though, this is the first time they’ve ever hugged? Idk why that surprises me? It shouldn’t because where is a hug gonna fit into a hunting trip 😅🤣😂 “I just caught a deer!” “let’s celebrate with a hug!”

I like that Katniss remembers how her father even failed to make a good bow sometimes. Random, I know.

I like that the Capitol weren’t entertained by the people freezing to deaths because it wasn’t bloody enough 🤭🙃

“How different can it be [to kill a human vs an animal]?” She’s about to find out, Gale 🥺. And when she comes back you won’t understand 🙄😔

What did Gale want to say before the Peacekeepers dragged him away?

I used to think it was a confession of love but I’m actually sure it wasn’t now? Just the wording “remember I-“ doesn’t sound like it, considering he never confessed anything prior to her coming home.

I’m assuming now he was just gonna give her some more advice to stay alive 🤷🏼‍♀️. Clearly if it were relevant it would have made its way to the others books.

Aww, she’s never been inside a car before 😭😭. I didn’t even know they had cars in this universe but okay.

I notice though how she says “In the Seam, we travel on foot.” So is Peeta just riding his trolly down the street every day with the other merchants then? 🤣

Peeta just openly crying on camera 😅😢.

I like how Katniss is like “ooo is this an act to get sponsors?” when in reality Peeta’s like “no, I’m just a soft and genuine boy ™️”

Omg I just realized this totally goes along with Peeta’s thing later on “I want to die as myself”

He’s refusing to hold back his emotions because he thinks he’s doomed to die and he’s already refusing to pretend to be or feel something ingenious.

But a Johanna mention in book 1 chapter 3 woohoo 🥳🥳🥳 also Katniss comparing Jo and Peeta is kind of like foreshadowing of their shared torture in book 3.

Omg she just called Peeta broad-shouldered and strong. 🥰🥰🥰 my headcanon for his post-canon body is confirmed

Also why does Katniss keep allotting his strength to carrying bread trays around? Are they heavy? Why have I never once heard of people who carry bread trays being strong? I always thought Peeta was really strong because he learned to fight in order to defend himself against his mother but that’s probably wrong.

But if a mother is abusive, it can lead to one of the kids being physically violent as well and we know Peeta isn’t but he has two older brothers I’m gonna cut myself off now but I think we all smelled what I just stepped in.

Also I just find it so fascinating now how she regards herself vs Peeta here.

When talking about herself, she says, “The competition will be far beyond my abilities. [...] Oh, there'll be people like me, too. People to weed out before the real fun begins.” But when she talks about Peeta, she immediately says, “It would take an awful lot of weeping to convince anyone to overlook him.”

It’s just funny how she discounted herself right from the start but thought he was a real contender and then come to find out, Peeta believes it’s the exact opposite 😂🙃. They’re both so stupid I can’t even take it.

Wait did they actually give the location of the Capitol and the location of District Twelve in today’s world? And I just overlooked it? Brb I’m gonna go to google maps right quick.

Okay so basically what I gathered is the Capitol is probably in New Mexico and District Twelve is somewhere between Kentucky and Alabama. Irrelevant I know. But just a reminder now to everyone that Katniss and Peeta are literally speaking, crying and screaming in thick, backwoods southern accents.

It’s literally so sad how everything for Katniss is about food. Like every motive she has, every action she does is about preventing starvation ever again. 🤧🤧🤧

First mockingjay mention 🤭🤭.

“My father was particularly fond of mockingjays” 😭😭😭 I bet he was 😭😭😭😭

We always go on and on about how Katniss is a mockingjay or her children are mockingjays but Katniss herself here says mockingjays represent her father imma cry, y’all 😫😫😫😫

“It’s like having a piece of my father with me, protecting me” shut up shut up shut up shut up

Awww, Katniss has never had food like this before 😔😔😔

Neither has Peeta 🤧🤧

Katniss disliking the way Effie put the two kids from the year before down and so began to eat like a pig just to prove her point, is so her. And the beginning of her fighting for the underdog.

Omg the Rue introduction 🥺🥺🥺

Bahahahaha the commenters calling District Twelve backwards but charming 😅😅😅 they really are the hillbilly district

Peeta’s unexpected laugh 🥺🥺🥺 I love you, baby

“He was drunk. He’s drunk every year.” “Every day.” Katniss and Peeta are already finishing each other’s sentiments and teaming up to get on Effie’s nerves I love them so much 😍

Oh my God, Effie, you selfish jerk. They’re kids having fun for like one second, no need to throw in their faces they’re gonna die if the drunk won’t help them. I’d forgotten why I don’t really like the book version of her. I actually prefer her as comedic relief in the movies.

I actually just realized I really dislike Effie Trinket, I hope they never speak to her again Post-Mockingjay. Idc how you’re raised you don’t need to treat teenagers who are sentenced to a probable death badly just because they laughed at you 🙄🙄🙄😡😡😡😡. They didn’t even really laugh at her, she’s just annoying and awful, we don’t stan Effie in this household.

Okay, that’s all for my thoughts on chapter three! Until next time, y’all ! If anyone actually read this long mess of a post.

#thgagain #this is so long I’m sorry #also yes I’m gonna use a Jennifer gif again

The Foxhole Court as Actual Text Conversations I have

Neil, to Andrew after seeing a popular text post: I want a baby

Andrew: Why though? The basement's already full.

*********************************************

Neil: Also it's kind of sad I can get Matt to do things with just a look even when his girlfriend can't

Nicky: That sounds super wrong

*********************************************

Andrew, to Kevin:

*********************************************

Allison, in the Exy group chat, ranting about her day

Andrew:

Renee: I do though! I thought that was obvious?

*********************************************

Nicky: Aaron has the high ground now

Andrew: Funny, cause he's so short

Aaron: You

Aaron: You're literally

Aaron: okay

*********************************************

Kevin, suddenly not talking about Exy for once: Mint chocolate chip is the best flavor don't @ me

Aaron: Who the hell doesn't like mint chocolate chip?

Andrew: Y'all are delusional. Mint and chocolate don't go together and you can't change my mind

Aaron: IT GOES PERFECTLY TOGETHER

Andrew: Mint is good on it's own. Chocolate is good on its own. Let's keep it that way

Nicky, trying to be reasonable: But if we separated things then we would've never gotten Reese's Puffs

Andrew, clearly ticked off: If we kept things separated then maybe people would stop breeding idiotic offspring, especially ones that invent the idea of mint and chocolate going well together.

Kevin: I say we put it to a democracy and vote that Andrew is wrong

Andrew: Why settle for a wimpy ass democracy when we can go full on anarchy and I can kick all of your wrongful asses

Aaron: You can try... But the power of mint chocolate chip is too strong

Kevin: I'm pretty sure all we need is Neil to reason with Andrew

Andrew: Jokes on you, Neil would never try to reason with me. So square up asshats

*********************************************

Dan, to the monsters: Y'all broke Matt!

Renee: Oh no

Allison: What makes you say that?

Andrew: Cornbread

Nicky: Cornbread

Matt: Cornbread

-Neil named the group "Cornbread"-

*********************************************

Neil, avoiding homework: Y'all always talk about how mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell, but none of y'all ever talk about how the nucleus is the command center of the cell

Aaron, a bio major: Because the nucleus breaks up during mitosis so it's a weak ass b***h

Nicky: I'm a nucleus

Nicky: Oh wait

Nicky: I just roasted myself

*********************************************

Kevin, coming back from the court to a blown up phone full of messages: Screw you all with the 250 notifications in like half an hour!

Nicky: :(

Kevin: Cry about it

Nicky: :'(

*********************************************

Neil, retelling a supposed break-in story:

Okay so I walked into the apartment and I said "Hello?" Cause sometimes Andrew's home early

I heard a pop

So I walked into our room to see if anyone was there

There was a broken mug on the floor

So I sent a picture to Matt and told him about it

He said that I shouldn't stay in the house and to call Andrew or something

So I went to the kitchen and grabbed a knife

And also a slice of cookie cake because priorities

Hid on the patio and called Andrew

Andrew got here in around five minutes

He stormed in the apartment

Checked literally everywhere shouting "Come out murderers! I wanna die!"

Which is a whole mood

No murderers tho

*********************************************

Wymack: One of you call me and tell me you're locked out of the court. I need to get out of this meeting.

*********************************************

Neil, at a Columbia party with the monsters: Hey Wymack! Can you call me and say you need me home real quick

Wymack: Where's Andrew?

Neil: He walked me here then walked home

Wymack: Tell him to get his ass back there and pick you up!

*********************************************

Neil, coming into terms with his sexuality: I'm just gonna embrace the gay now

Andrew: Good

Nicky: Good

Matt: Good

Wymack: Good

*********************************************

Nicky, hacking Andrew's phone: HEY LOOK I'M ANDREW!

Nicky: I LIKE ARSON AND GUMMY BEARS

Nicky: DUR DUR DUR DUR

Aaron: Nicky, what the fork

*********************************************

Matt, talking about being married to Dan: Our marriage is built on lies

Allison: Oh nice

Matt: I didn't even get a ring

Nicky: whAT?

Neil: She didn't even give you a ring pop?

Matt: THATS WHAT I SAID!

*********************************************

Aaron, after studying for a big biomed exam: I haven't slept at all lmao

Renee, wanting to talk about the importance of sleep: Hhhhhhhhhh

Aaron: Time is forgotten

Aaron: Bill Nye the science guy comes out of my closet and hits me with a folding chair

Aaron: He unzips his skin suit and Andrew steps out

Aaron: Andrew picks up the folding chair and strikes the final blow

Matt: Uhhhhhhhhhh

*********************************************

Allison: He stopped texting again ;-;

Andrew: You mean Seth has an actual life? Gasp

Allison: Asshole

Andrew: You know it ;)

*********************************************

*the guys talking about DnD*

Matt: Yeah, but fighting a giant tree in a coliseum was pretty cool but I wasn't able to make a walking stick out of it because it disappeared on death

Renee: Okay now fighting a giant tree is just a crappy thing to do

Renee: What did the tree ever do to you?

Nicky: It tried to kill us in a coliseum?

Renee: It's a freaking sentient tree! Let it win! It already won at life!

Nicky: Technically it didn't cause it still died

Renee: That's just sick!

Aaron: Your point?

Renee: That you're all insensitive swear words and I don't appreciate it!

Matt, moving on: I got a tiger in that game too

Renee: Probably against it's will...

Nicky: This is why we are going to let you go first whenever we see a big open room in a dungeon.

Renee: Bring it on! I'll make friends with the monsters!

Renee: And give them the happiness they never got in life

Nicky: Did you just assume the happiness of these monsters?

Renee: Yeah, why else would they be so aggressive?

Aaron: Because people are breaking into their caves

Renee: Fine, I'll give them house warming gifts or something

Renee: Like skin gloves I'll make out of your flesh
