iconic things suzanne collins did in sunrise on the reaping:

had haymitch declare himself an lgbt+ ally

confirmed snow is still habitually crashing out over lucy gray 40 years later

made me cry over the regina george of district 12

So

I can't stop imagining Kaz Brekker wearing black "B**ch on the beach" T-shirt and sunglasses when the Dregs go to the sea in the modern au, I'm sorry

love this! I've also imagined her having a braid like this!

Good-bye, Maysilee Donner,

who I loathed, then grudgingly respected, then loved. Not as a sweetheart or even a friend. A sister, I'd said.

SotR is a realisation. A realisation that the rebellion didn’t start with Katniss. That all the people we see supporting her or helping her have all been wanting to fight but they’ve been failing. That there weren’t merely “rumours” of a revolution but there were many active plans playing out and failing.

It’s a reminder that the perfect Hunger Games we saw in the first hg book was an illusion because we had Katniss as our narrator. We didn’t have Haymitch, hell, we didn’t even have someone like Peeta because these people played the games. Katniss didn’t.

Katniss was introduced to us as a mad, simple, naive girl who literally only survived because of others. She didn’t know how much her taking Prim’s place mattered because she didn’t realise what it meant to everyone who came before her. To everyone who had heard rumours of how the last District 12 victor actually fought his games. No, Katniss had just kept her head down, hunting and providing for her family.

See, she grew up way before the Games got to her. She’d already lived through her dad’s death and watched it destroy her once lively mom. Haymitch didn’t have to go through that. Lucy Gray didn’t have to go through that. They were both angry, yes, but at the Capitol. Katniss? She was first and foremost angry at her mom. At her dad. She knew who was to blame but she had too much to do and deal with to think about that. She was already jaded in a way that the Games couldn’t touch.

Peeta? He was Haymitch. He knew what he was getting into and realised he was just on a chess board with no control. So, he adapted. He played the knight, the rook, the king, the pawn. Katniss? She just… did. Changing directions, not playing the piece she was assigned because she didn’t realise that’s what was going on. Remember her surprise at the crown twisting into two after the Games?? She was so oblivious. Until Catching Fire where everything caught up to her. Where everything so many other people had been waiting and working for caught up to her.

SotR is a history book. Rewritten and edited and published as a piece of fact. SotR is a mirror and it’s a reflection of what actually happens vs what ends up being shown. SotR is the playbook of those in control of any and every kind of media that we come in touch with. SotR is a wake up call and I truly don’t know how many will see it as such.

ok but now i need a shortstory about katniss's parents. i need short stories about other districts, because it's so interesting what life is like there, especially career districts. what is it like to spend your whole childhood training to kill other children? how do career winners feel like? i want to know EVERYTHING

ronan was so real for skipping having a crush and going straight into para-religious devotion at the first sight of adam

Im rereading The Hunger Games because I apparently want to retraumatize myself after SOTR, and I got to Katniss and Gale selling strawberries to Madge.

I've seen people talk about the strawberries and how they relate to Maysilee because of the ice cream. But, the scene mentions Madge is wearing a white dress, the Mockingjay pin, and a pink ribbon in her hair.

Her mom, Merilee, wore a pink dress with matching ribbons on the day of her sister's reaping 💔 Maysilee's purple ribbons never made it home and Merilee lost her hummingbird pin, so Madge wears the things her mom and aunt had that no longer have their twin 😭

accidentally finished this today on new sukirofa chapter day

also people need to realise that 'the hunger games' is not about a 16-year old starting a revolution, it is about adults in power using children for their political games! both for better or worse!
