reread the solstice scene from acofas and was surprised at how pleasant nesta was the entire time. from the way people talk about it, and from Cassian's reaction after she leaves, you'd think she was hissing and insulting everyone in the room. but no.

nesta wishes feyre happy birthday, she thanks elain for her gifts, and sits quietly, allowing them to continue with their presents. meanwhile mor gives cassian silk boxers that match the lingerie set he got her. nesta even kisses elain on the head before she leaves. she is 100% polite.

the next chapter is Cassian's pov and it starts with "he'd had enough. enough of the coldness, the sharpness. enough of the sword-straight spine and razor-sharp stare that had only honed itself these months"

BRO SHE WAS JUST SITTING THERE

Can’t understand why my people who live in poverty whilst I live opulently are always rebelling? I let them have their blood rites, they can still clip wings if it’s hush hush, I never go there and annoy them, I let them die in my wars 😔 change is slow and it’s so hard on me, a precious little prince

if there’s one thing d12 victors are gonna do, it’s make a scene

lucy gray taking a bow after her reaping song. haymitch applauding snow while presenting him with louella’s corpse. katniss twirling around in her flaming dress in front of the entire country. peeta painting a portrait of rue for the gamemakers.

district twelve really said, “you want a show? we’ll give you a show.”

oh wyatt callow, the boy who weighed everyones odds in the arena and still threw himself in front of a blade for lou lou, knowing hers too.

sunrise on the reaping raises an incredibly important ethical question: how many generations does it take to erase history, to the point of blind, unquestioning acceptance?

i fear the answer is far fewer than any of us are comfortable with.

SOTR SPOILERS

The oddsmaker died protecting someone with bad odds

This is what I looked like while reading the last 50 or so pages of Sunrise on the Reaping I am not okay

[maebaby123]

i cannot adequately describe the emotion i feel watching people miss the VERY OBVIOUS message of sunrise on the reaping in favor of calling the book fan service

[maebaby123]

sunrise on the reaping is just this onion headline over and over again:

[maebaby123]

burdock everdeen couldn’t save haymitch but haymitch could save burdie’s little girl

[maebaby123]

Suzanne Collins writing books like “thought I was done with this shit but clearly yall have learned nothing”

[maebaby123]

“sotr is mid because you already know how it ends” shut the fuck up, the point of the book is that despite knowing how it ends you would have never known what actually went down because that’s the point of propaganda, the whole book is about the power of propaganda

[maebaby123]

the thing i keep thinking about is how katniss, despite knowing the capitol is evil and despite seeing how they edited her games to tell a story, didn’t question haymitch’s much at all really when watching them. really drilling in the message that no one is immune to propaganda.
