According to the novels, I'm District 6; but the movies (with somewhat different maps) claim I'm a District 3 girl...guess that only means one thing:

The rebellion might have told the other victor rebels to keep Peeta alive for Katniss's sake, but I truly 100% believe Mags and the morphling woman would have sacrificed themselves for Peeta regardless. And not for Katniss or the rebellion, but for him.

He was a 17-year-old boy, just a kid. A kid who has already had to deal with more than he should, who still had a chance of living a good life should the rebellion succeed. After all of the years Mags and the morphling woman spent mentoring other children to watch them die, to be so powerless against such evil, that choice to offer up their lives in place of Peeta's had to have been an easy decision. A relief, even, to finally to stand up against Snow and protect at least one child.

I just realized the very obvious parallels between Rue's death and the girl Morphling's death (I wish she had an actual name):

They are both, in death, linked to flowers. With Katniss covering Rue in flowers and the girl Morphling painting a flower with her blood on Peeta's cheek.

so, sometimes i see people saying that victors like cecelia and woof from 8 or the morphlings from 6 or seeder from 11 just waited out their games and didn't kill anyone or only had one kill (i've been in the thg fandom on a variety of platforms i haven't mainly seen it here) and i personally have to disagree.

 "...no one in this arena was a victor by chance. except maybe peeta."

finnick says this in catching fire, and i would reckon that he knows how all the victors won their games. i'm not going to say from this that the victors were evil or whatever, because they were children trying to survive. sure, they killed people, but their situations were very nuanced moral conundrums and, also, they were children.

i think i dislike it because to act as though the "nicer" or "milder" victors didn't kill people seems to me to act as though good people don't do bad things to survive, that the games didn't corrupt people and hurt them. the games changed them, but they continued being themselves.

let's use cecelia as a case study. she fought in her games, she killed people, she survived. years later, she got married and had three children, the model of maternal love. her being a loving wife and mother, a woman whose children held on to her when she was reaped for the second time. that doesn't mean that, when push came to shove, she didn't kill anyone to stay alive. that she didn't do what we consider to be bad things when she was put in a horrible situation. her dying in the bloodbath in the 75th games doesn't mean that she was incapable of fighting to survive in her original games. in fact, it may suggest that she didn't run away from her first cornucopia, but fought in it.

my point is, i don't think that the victors who are more mild-mannered than katniss or died in the bloodbath of the 75th weren't fighters. they were teenagers forced to kill to survive. they did it. but that does not make them evil. but that lack of aggression doesn't mean they didn't fight in their games.

#thg #the hunger games #hunger games #thg meta #hunger games victors #does this make sense??? #also don't like it when people say the victors from 6 just waited out their games while experiencing morphling withdrawal #while that's possible it's probably something they got addicted to *because* of the games??? #anyway

thought a lot about the morphlings today. they were humanized so much, even with the scene where peeta shows the female morphling the colors of the sunrise before her death just so she doesnt die panicked and wheezing to breathe, even to the extent of the fact that district 6 is stated to have a huge drug problem+ the fact that they were ripped away from the thing that kept them tethered to reality (as awful as it was) and probably cut off entirely from it too. we knew so much but so little, they were never even named.

There was a plan to break us out of the arena the moment the Quell was announced. The victor tributes from 3,4,6,7,8 and 11 had varying degrees of knowledge about it

Decided to try to draw how I imagined the Victor Alliance to look like and as a bonus how i imagined them to look like when they won their first game

(also headcanons on what year they won/how they look like on some of them is not set in stone for me yet so don't yell at me in the notes k)

Anyways have too many headcanons about these people help

the thing is the morphling madge brings over for gale says so much more abt madge and katniss and the friendship between mrs everdeen and mrs undersee than it ever will say about madge and gale’s relationship.

#madge’s mother is addicted to morphling!! but she allows her daughter to give some to katniss anyways because she cares about her mom! #and by extension because she cares about katniss!! #and it means something! to have one of your best friends daughter befriend your daughter! and have that friendship still offer some #compassion after all this time! after all the grief!! #thg

I still cackle about that hypothetical Baby Book theme park that ppl were saying was going to happen in like 2012. u go there and immediately either step on a landmine or get bitten by a rabid raccoon honestly tame compared to public transit in Toronto

#although that would be such a funny bit. like charging travel bloggers $80 for a bowl of gruel and squirrel meat #that immediately makes them violently ill and park security just takes them to a random shack and lays them on the kitchen table overnight #morphling is an extra $40. it’s just a couple t3s dissolved in white gatorade #angry white lady youtube video titled ‘DO NOT DRINK THE CREEK WATER AT THE PANEM EXPERIENCE™️’ #and a clickbait thumbnail w her soccer team of children covered in coal dust with ‘HE CONTRACTED TUBERCULOSIS!’ superimposed on them #thg

More from Chapter 21

After a few minutes pass, Peeta vaguely gestures upward. "Mon-hees." I look up and spot a pair of what I guess are monkeys. I have seen a live monkey--there's nothing like that in our woods at home. But I must have seen a picture, or one in the Games, because when I see the creatures, the same word comes to my mind.

I like this little details of how, not sheltered, but kept from the world the districts are. Katniss not knowing much about CPR or monkeys. I also imagine Peeta, initially at least, kind of excited to see them.

If the seawater healed Peeta and me, it seems to be transforming Finnick altogether. He begins to move slowly, just testing his limbs, and gradually begins to swim. But it's not like me swimming, the rhythmic strokes, the even pace. It's like watching some strange sea animal coming back to life. He dives and surfaces, spraying water out of his mouth, rolls over and over in some bizarre corkscrew motion that makes me dizzy even to watch.

Anyone have thoughts on what "corkscrew motion" this might be? I'm picturing my synchronized swimming class but that's probably not right.

Peeta turns to see my predicament and is sliding off his sheath when it happens. A monkey lunges out of a tree for his chest. I have no arrow, no way to shoot. I can hear the thud of Finnick's trident finding another mark and know his weapon is occupied. Peeta's knife arm is disabled as he tries to remove the sheath. I throw my knife at the oncoming mutt but the creature somersaults, evading the blade, and stays on its trajectory. Weaponless, defenseless, I do the only thing I can think of. I run for Peeta, to knock him to the ground, to protect his body with mine, even though I know I won't make it in time. She does, though. Materializing, it seems, from thin air. One moment nowhere, the next reeling in front of Peeta. Already bloody, mouth open in a high-pitched scream, pupils enlarged so her eyes seem like black holes. The insane morphling from District 6 throws up her skeletal arms as if to embrace the monkey, and it sinks its fangs into her chest.

No offense but Katniss is doing a shit job at protecting Peeta. Finnick got him from the plate, revived him and carried him from the fog. And now the morphling saves him from the monkies.

I know she's only 17. And small. She needs allies. It takes a village to save a Peeta.

I feel a bit silly writing this because I’m sure other people must have but I’ve not seen anything about it

(SPOILERS - I’ll also tag)

I really love how we see Coriolanus’s character descent into who he becomes through each of his kills

His first kill is Bobbin. It was self-defence, kill-or-be-killed. If he hadn’t done it, he probably would have been killed himself, but this sticks with him. Coriolanus is horrified when he realises he took someone’s life. He thinks about it for a long time.

His next kill is Mayfair Lipp, the mayor’s daughter. It’s not self-defence, but he sees it that way. In a way, he’s got a point. She would have reported him, and he would have been hanged. So would Lucy Gray, so he shot her. This time, however, he had a choice. Maybe not much choice, but it was there. He chose to shoot her, but it doesn’t affect him anywhere near as much as Bobbin’s death

The third is the hardest. He doesn’t pull the trigger or tie the noose, but he might as well have. He betrays Sejanus. Sejanus who loves him like a brother. Sejanus who he has known since they were children. He made the decision in a moment and he questions himself afterwards, but he still made that choice. He reasons to himself internally that it was necessary and Sejanus was bound to get himself in trouble, anyway, right? Right? So it’s okay. But it’s not okay. The blood is on his hands and he keeps thinking of the moments they spent together before the betrayal. He benefits from his death and is rewarded for his loyalty. How ironic

Next is Lucy Gray. Possibly. For argument’s sake, let’s say he did kill her. He calls out for her, his gun slung over his shoulder. He realises how she might be scared, the gun sending the wrong message… but he doesn’t put it back. He brings it with him, not to use it, he tells himself. He would never use it, definitely not. He just… wants to talk some sense into her. As soon as the snake bites him, he abandons all pretence. Even though he admitted moments ago he understood why she would be scared, now she’s the enemy. Now she has to pay. How dare she. Not even an hour ago, he had plans to run away with her. He claimed he loved her. They were going to be together. Now, he’s chasing her through the trees with a gun in his hands and he’s screaming for her to show herself. He shoots a lot. When he thinks he finally got her, he’s pleased. It was her own fault, he tells himself, for the snake trick. Even afterwards, when he finds out that the snake wasn’t venomous - which Lucy Gray definitely would have known and therefore was only intended to slow him down - he doesn’t have a single moment of regret. The only thing he regrets is falling for her in the first place and he swears he’ll never do it again. His heart is stone. Frozen like snow.

Finally, his last kill (before the ones that take place once this book ends) is Dean Highbottom. This is the first kill that is not made in a split-second. This is premeditated. He carefully adds just enough rat poison to the morphling, sure to wear gloves, and sets his plan in motion. He has every opportunity to change his mind, to not resort to violent means. Not only does he not regret it, he feels proud. Excited, even. He hopes Dean Highbottom will know it was him that killed him

By the epilogue, Snow has gotten over (or buried deep enough) what guilt he had over Sejanus enough to use the Plinths’ grief to his advantage without any conflicting feelings. He’s convinced himself Lucy Gray was the villain who played him, when she was just a sixteen-year-old girl who was forced into a terrible situation. As we know, he goes on to directly and indirectly kill thousands between TBOSAS and THG, too many. I doubt he remembers most of them, just nameless, faceless children. He doesn’t care anymore, not like he did the first time

The whole world is his Arena. Snow lands on top until it melts

Hey can u tell me wat race were the thg characters in the books? Was Katniss gale peeta finnick etc not white?

so this is kind of difficult to answer because in the world of the novels, The Dark Times™ whatever they really were clearly were so destructive to the fabric of society that the USA ceased to be what we know it as.

The process not only changed the land itself and how it was governed, but the language used to do that (states become districts, America becomes Panem, etc.). The fascistic government of the Capitol, when you read the books, clearly controls language as much as any other resource. Both Katniss and Snow (the only 2 pov characters in the novels) refer to words that have been forbidden and forgotten. Throughout the books you also come across words that are clearly mutated versions of known words "morphling" is one, which is the word used for what we call morphine.

I say all that to say that the people in the world of these novels, while they still obviously use English, they don't have the same concepts we do now because they've been eroded along with the language itself.

One of the crucial steps to control and oppress a population is deprive them of the ability to conceptualise and communicate that oppression. This is even happening right now wihh right wing governments around the world attempting to outlaw education and content on sexuality, indigenous histories, etc.

I say all this to say that the characters we read the POVs from in the thg novels do not and probably cannot define race in the way that we do now because doing so has been lost and repressed.

BUT!!!! that's not to say that racism does not exist, even though the language to define race is absent. Katniss is described as dark olive skinned, with dark eyes and dark hair. so is gale. I can't direct quote it, but Katniss talks in the early chapters of book 1 about how she is treated differently to her mum and sister who are fair and blonde. specifically, it says people do not warm to her as quickly like they do her sister and mum. Katniss also comments that the Capitol stylists make a mockery of her thick body hair. It's also worth noting she's among the poorest of district 12, living in the Seam. Not for nothing but Katniss also talks about how her father was also dark skinned and knew a lot about native plants.

These things on their own probably wouldn't necessarily point to Katniss being a person of colour, but together they paint a pretty clear picture of someone who experiences racism both systemically and personally even if she can't conceptualise it as that. Due to the fact Katniss' knowledge of plants and animals and carving weapons was passed down to her from her father, many people headcanon her as Indigenous, same for Gale.

As for Finnick? Jury's out. When I read catching fire well before the films came out I thought Finnick was maybe not white because he was described as very tanned and golden and in my experience white people just don't tan that way.

But Suzzanne Collins had very clear subtextual racial commentary in the books. Especially in the demographics of the districts. District 11 is predominantly Black (Katniss describes every D11 person as having typically Black features) and they're the agriculture district, described as the one that does the most physical labour. It's also the first district in the novel main story to do an uprising. And if you think a little bit about that and what Suzzanne Collins was saying with that particular subtext it's a very obvious racial commentary on the legacy of slavery and antiblackness.

Peeta was definitely white. Not only is he described that way physically. But his family is one of the wealthiest in D12 which means they had intergenerational wealth of some kind which it's clear Katniss and Gale did not.

Suzanne Collins is white and I think she did what the best white authors do when writing about race which is to acknowledge it and be realistic without overstepping or pretending to know. I'll forever hate the movies for eliminating that subtext.
