Underrated Effie moment

(Context: Katniss told them about shooting an arrow at the game makers)

In the movies Effie scolded Katniss for shooting the arrow, but I kinda love how she's able to sympathize with her for a moment in the books

RIP the capitol you would have loved labubus

Me and the 4 other district 9 fans stood up and clapped

Do you have patterns when it comes to OCs? For example, always making them tall or dark eyed

Guys how much do you think people in Panem know about history before Panem existed? They know that modern civilization was destroyed, but do they know anything before that? Like about the existence of the US and other countries, what the culture was like there, and historical events like the world wars??

THE HUNGER GAMES - CHAPTER FIVE

Finally got this done! I may or may not be doing chapters in non-chronological order….😅

I really enjoyed this chapter! Peeta and Cinna are two very fun characters to draw for me, and this chapter has plenty of both. I never want to draw fire again, though. Thank you to everyone who reads and enjoys these chapters I do!

Also...I changed the typography treatment again. Sorry. It's because I discovered Procreate's text feature and it made my life a lot easier.

no joke i have seen a few fans saying that people strip effie of her complexity and treat her as innocent because of Elizabeth banks acting and direction for the character , their claim is that effie wasn't a good person and participated in the hunger games and wasn't empathic to the tributes until everlark won and that effie was supposed to be a ' dark reflection ' or something like that idk and by fleshing her out in the movies they 'absolved' her of her part in the system or some other bs 🙄

i also once saw someone cursing woody because he was the one to suggest the haymitch and effie kiss in mockingjay p2 and went on a rant about how effie is a horrible person for haymitch to end up with

it's all just really annoying how people can't like effie in peace without some people coming out of nowhere and ruining their fun and it's jarring that they hate on actors for doing their jobs while loving / enjoying the characters they are playing

NO DEADASS. Effie is a very complex person, she's not innocent (at the end of the day, she still participated in the Games. And imo she agreed to being an escort) but she's not some evil bitch like some people think she is.

I can def see how people come to that conclusion reading the books. I can respect that interpretation even if I dont agree. But saying Elizabeth Banks stripped Effie of her complexity is INSANE. If anything, Elizabeth added much more complexity to Effie and made her more interesting. not make her innocent. ARE YALL CRAZY??!?!?!

And the point about Woody... I CAN'T. BYE. I'M LEAVING THE FANDOM. People can think the Hayffie kiss wasn't a good idea or even hate Hayffie, idc that's your opinion, but damn💀 whatever, at the end of the day Woody and Elizabeth got the bag and yall are just jealous of that (/j)

Im gonna say it again, but I dont ship Hayffie, I just really enjoy their dynamic and will devour literally anything involving these two (the valentines day art was just to feed the shippers lol). I think people can dislike the ship, that's fine, agree to disagree. But oh my god why do people need to feel the need to attack shippers. BLOCK THEM AND GO AWAY.

This point goes to Effie stans/Hayffie shippers going after LD and Haydove. Literally grow the hell up.

There's also ppl acting like Hayffie is predatory because Effie was an adult meeting Haymitch as a minor... I mean sure it might be hella little weird if they got together at that time, but most shippers ship them when Haymitch was well into his adulthood. If anything, its way more unhealthy for Haymitch to be hung up over his long dead teenage girlfriend as a grown ass man smh.

[eggsyfired]

is it ever possible for haydove and haffiey shippers to just........co-exist peacefully ?

you guys don't need to drag down either Lenore dove or effie to boost up the other they both are unique characters and PLEASE for the life of me enough with a shipping wars these things are NEVER fun

( also don't drag the actresses into this , I've seen someone blame Elizabeth for the fact that she made effie " too likable and so people are ignoring how she was a horrible person" UGH I sure hope neither elle or whitney get dragged into this 🙄)

it's fine to prefer one over another but is it so hard to be civil about it without starting arguments ?

happy birthday to haymitch abernathy, the only thing worth noting or celebrating today.

Just finished reading the Hunger games trilogy.

I wanted to capture the book versions, but the film adaptations still have an iron grip on me, so you might see some similarities

[eggsyfired]

I never really understood that first critique, because I'm pretty sure all of Katniss's kills were in self-defense (Cato wasn't, but she was doing him a huge favour so I dont count that). I guess people were critiquing that Haymitch was "too good" of a protagonist in general, and had little agency in the book. I kinda get it, because I missed his witty smart-mouthed swag lolol.

Also, I never really say Haymitch as a failed mockingjay. I saw the rebel plot in SOTR as a "fuck you" to the Capitol and not a proper attempt at a revolution, so Haymitch couldn't have been the face of a revolution. Even if it was, Ampert would've been a better mockingjay because he created the Newcomer Alliance and lead the arena to be blown up.

Tbh I always sorta thought Snow being insulted by Haymitch's win to made sense. Other victors worked with what they had/what the gamemakers gave them to win the games, or basically suceeding within a system. Like, Beetee must've used the materials the gamemakers made available to create that trap, so his stunt was fair game (wiress aint counted because I didn't know how she won back then).

But Haymitch found a way to win outside of it. In a way that the gamemakers didn't intend to be an option. They never intended for him and Maysilee to break through the hedge, they never intended for Haymitch to use to forcefield to his advantage. He showed the whole country that you didn't have to work within the shitty system made by the Capitol to succeed. So Snow killed his family to reinforce the whole "nuh uh you only succeed and be happy when we ALLOW you to, SO DON'T CROSS US" thing. Idk if that made sense but that's my lil theory.

Not sure if I made a proper post about this, but I actually really liked Haymitch's narrating style. Its one of my favorite things about the book tbh. I hear a lot of people say it was too juvenile for them, but being close to age as Haymitch, it made him more relatable and endearing to me. Katniss sounded "older", and Snow was... Snow. But I could totally see Haymitch as my classmate. A guy I would've been grouped together for presentations and gotten along with.

And that makes the ending feel even sadder. Like, dude, your supposed to be working towards your G1. Why are you fighting for your freaking life and losing everyone you love😭

District 9 mentors, Quarter Quell (Rey and Neffie my beloved)

They're kind of like Katniss and Haymitch, but without the fun parts of it. Neffie's just a neglectful mentor who never changed and Rey's highkey hated her for it (even if he understands her as he got older).

More on Neffie, she's not alive in the main story, nor a very fleshed out character. She's just a foil for Rey by being hedonistic and careless. All I really have of her is that she's estranged from her family, and she runs from her problems, no matter who got hurt. In fact, she was out of commission for most of Rey's training week because she overdosed and nearly died. Its not that she didnt give a single shit about Rey or her tributes, she just can't stop herself.

In turn, Rey despises her. He came out of the games just fine (it was the aftermath that screwed him over) but he had no sympathy or patience for addicts. He thought she was weak and stupid, too hedonistic and apathetic to care about what's important. Mostly because Rey was made to be all tough and hard and unempathetic. Kinda ironic, because he became an alcoholic himself. Rey does eventually understand and sympathize w her.

Also Rey's POV in SOTR is something I've been thinkin about a lot since the book came out. Mostly to explore the kinda person he was before Aprica and Cassy. He was an asshole, as would any teenager in his position, and he'd clash quite a lot w the themes of SOTR.

Rey is practical to a fault, so we would NOT be on board with the rebel plot, viewing it as pointlessly dangerous. If Rey ever found out Beetee went behind their backs and replaced his tribute's tokens with fakes, he'd be THROWING HANDS.

I do see him liking Haymitch (I think the victors totally saw everything, having access to unedited footage of the arena so they could watch their tributes properly). He admired his guts but pitied him in a "poor guy doesn't know wtf he's doing" sort of affection.

Anyways heres some doodles as a reward for reading my yappings

(Dont dog on my bro, he's going thru a lot🥀)
