Haymitch: Effie, you love me, right?

Effie: Normally I’d say yes without hesitation but I feel like this is going somewhere and I don’t like it.

Katniss: May I sit there?

Peeta: …that’s my lap.

Katniss: That doesn’t answer my question, Peeta.

In Mockingjay, Katniss’s squad was called squad 451. Like the book Fahrenheit 451°.

Plutarch Heaveansbee, the man who had a huge ass library, and libraries were considered RARE, named them after a book about censorship.

Plutarch is such an interesting character, the fact that he was trying to stop the games for at LEAST 25 years. And he was so devoted it makes you wonder why he even cared.

Cato hurt his neck, his back and Clove isn't okay with that (clato art for today)

[askclato]

Katniss is a singer and Peeta is a painter. They’re artists, born into a world that robbed them the joy and freedom of making art. I hope they found that joy after the war and their home was full of music and art. I hope their children never know a world without it.

peeta: breathes

katniss, internally: hm. interesting. strategic. emotionally destabilizing. soft. fluffy. uncalled for.

Not Haymitch being the legal guardian of Katniss in Capitol and District 13.

In mockingjay,

Haymitch is annoyed about Katniss ripping off her earpiece, and he is showing her different PERMANENT earpiece option as a threat.

He specifically says, " I will AUTHORIZE them to surgically implant this transmitter into your ear".

Authorize, not ask them or tell them but AUTHORIZE.

That imples he has had to NOT authorize previous District 13 demands. Just like in the Capitol with breast enhancement surgery.

Few pages back, Asterid says how she didn't know Katniss was going to 8 till she was already gone. And Katniss goes, I'm sorry I'll ask them to clear everything with you.

And asterid replies, "Katniss no one clears anything from me".

Asterid is not Katniss' Legal Guardian anymore, Haymitch is. He has been running around for god knows how long keeping her safe and sane.

The I wonder is he the reason Katniss got discharged from the hospital while Finnick stays in a drug haze?

Is he the reason they leave her be when she doesn't follow schedule?

Is he the reason they let her hide in pipes and closets?

And I'm reminded of lil Haymitch taking care of even littler children during his games. Wondering why they all come to him. And he's fails to keep any one of them alive.

Except Katniss. That's a daughter thrusted to him. And he's trying so fucking hard to not let her die too.

I'm gonna go cry now

No, this Cato and Clove photo is a meme template to me. You just don't understand.

a mermaid and a man. whoever would have imagined?

Every time I remember Thalia's actress in the show is British I laugh. Please keep her British. I need to see Percy making fun of her accent like "bit sad innit pinecone face" when he gets pissed and Thalia electrocuting him with four lightning bolts in a row. It would be extremely in character

i respect everyone's critique of lenore dove's character, but i just love her sm. anyone who is kind enough to comfort a mother when her son dies, in that kind of situation, has enough emotional intelligence to read her thoughts and is brave enough to stand up to a peacekeeper, has my love. and she reminds me of sejanus so much. she is also there to remind you that if everyone did what she did, they wouldn't be able to stop that. instead, since it's just one person, it seems pointless. but i love her, she's my beloved

no bcs district 12 tributes for the 50th hunger games are iconic af.... lucy gray, jessup, katniss and peeta are cool and i love them but they are mostly pure angst... while these... louella and her "i don't want these idiots as my allies," maysilee and insulting everyone's fashion sense, wyatt and his betting on everyone's deaths, haymitch drinking snow's milk.... hilarious af, they're so bratty and insane i love them

[askclato]

since everyone is talking about the difference between katniss' and haymitch's narrations, i find it funny how in sotr everyone is vaguely described and in og trilogy we know how most of the characters look and i know it's coincidental but it's like this:

haymitch describing a character: she has two sisters two brothers, her parents married each other on one spring day, one of them is gay, she's a lesbian and broke up with her girlfriend over jealousy

katniss describing a character: idk man he has.... brown hair

[askclato]

and when i say that detail about haymitch losing his unborn twin sisters foreshadows him being a mentor and losing two kids each year in the hunger games

happy pride month to whatever was going on the dead poets society (1989)

Cato and Clove

imagine your otp in school playing an EPIC dodgeball match BUT they're in OPPOSITE teams and it's a full-on WAR and everyone else is completely TERRIFIED of them

[askclato]

Person A: “We’re going to regret this, aren’t we?”

Person B: “I already am.”
