THE HUNGER GAMES: SUNRISE ON THE REAPING (2025)

[frogbeansss]

"Each District 12 Victor won their games by cheating."

Can't really cheat when it's a system that is unfair by design!

Also, Lucy Gray didn't actually cheat herself. Snow did for her. If he didn't drop that handkerchief with her scent on it, she would've been snake food.

Haymitch wasn't even reaped legally. He shouldn't have even been there because his name was never drawn in the first place. Also, it's the Capitol's own stupidity for allowing him to have the flint striker and for not catching the changes to the tokens. Also, using the arena against your opponent? Not cheating.

Katniss was actually playing the Game fairly until the rule change. Even then, how is using those berries with the intention of either dying or saving herself AND her partner/friend cheating? She was just playing by the rules so clearly set out for her. Peeta went along with Katniss with the intention of her winning or him going home with her. No cheating.

I actually think more of the Victors than we think won by "cheating" and rightfully so. If the Capitol can make and change rules as they go, why not let the tributes do the same? Get under Snow's skin a little.

although katniss is our protagonist and main character i think there's actually a much more fitting throughline when it comes to the presence of covey girls and their acts of rebellion.

lucy gray

lenore dove

primrose

i don't often see prim mentioned when it comes to covey lineage (most likely because her character is so aligned with their merchant mother in the original trilogy) but all three of these girls actively haunt the narrative.

lucy gray is the ghost whose songs of resistance endure in district 12 long after her name is forgotten. lenore dove paints her posters across the district and its haymitch's promise to her that forces him to keep going, keep fighting back until someone 'just like him but luckier' comes along to do what he couldn't. primrose is reason that katniss volunteers, she inspires a love so great that it defies the odds and brings her sister home.

they all have an immense strength but also an inherent gentleness - their love of animals whether this is lucy gray's snakes or lenore dove's geese or prim's refusal to hunt animals (not to mention lady and buttercup) - they are all drawn to creatures that are not widely seen as valuable or lovable.

they share a deep sense of optimism, each believe in the power of hope to transform one's circumstances. they each believe that a better world is not only possible but they are willing to take action to make it so. lucy gray uses her songs and performances, lenore dove engages in acts of sabotage and vandalises property. prim learns how to heal and chooses to enter a warzone in order to help people - in a world governed by violence, prim is first and foremost a healer.

and ultimately they are all taken from those who love them - they are girls frozen in time, forever filled with colour and light. three generations of covey girls, each doomed by their connection to the games.

I hate when people ask me about my preference but I don’t understand their preference level. Like yes I kinda want Chinese food 10% more than I want a sandwich but if you want a sandwich like 40% more than Chinese food then I would say it’s totally reasonable we get sandwiches.

and how you told me after it all

we'd remember tonight

Intact. You beauty! They’re all the same-sized projectile wounds, likely the same gun. Okay, I'll check to see if the bullets match.
