#thinking about haymitch going from “this bitch snores loud as hell thats another reason i dont want him as my ally” to this……………………. suzanne collins you are so evil

[quadrupledeckerquesadilla]

Implying that she knows pretty tributes like Maysilee get prostituted by Snow if they win, and then actively wishing it happens to a tribute she reaped is so evil and insidious.

Real exhibition of the contempt capitolites have for the districts.

maysilee "I'll be your sister" donner and wyatt "whoever she is guess she's ours now" callow

maysilee and haymitch’s reaping outfits

can’t believe Suzanne Collins had Wyatt Callow, who knew the odds of all the tributes’ deaths better than his own name, die protecting Lou Lou, who he statistically knew wouldn’t make it anyway. had Louella McCoy, who was immediately ready to try and stick it to the capital any way she could in the games, die before she even reached the arena. had Maysilee Donner, who constantly talked back, who wanted to die with her head up, who didn’t want to be treated like an animal by the capital, die mangled on the ground after having her vocal chords ripped out by a capital-manufactured bird. had Haymitch Abernathy, who from the moment he learned of Beetee’s plan, knew he was ready and willing to give up his life so that his friends and family could live, be forced to live without them, knowing all he did in the arena was for nothing. that everyone died anyway. sick and twisted.

I wish Maysilee Donner would've met President Snow. He wouldve said some corny shit like "Snow lands on top" and she would've eaten the words and chewed them right back up so nasty that he would've been so ashamed to say them ever again.

Forever mad that Maysilee never got to learn that Haymitch blew up the arena not once but TWICE. Maysilee, so intent on making a stand, so mad when she thought Haymitch wouldn't anymore. Imagine her face when Haymitch threw that last bomb she should have been allowed to witness that she would have been so proud

how do y’all think haymitch felt when katniss came back to him all “i want wiress, beetee, and mags as allies” in catching fire? hand-picking his two and a half men(tors)!!

“of course you do�� as his response now means so much more bc he’s not just exasperated he’s like “you really are me with a braid”

[quadrupledeckerquesadilla]

the way haymitch must have seen it as all his ghosts coming back to haunt him at once when katniss walked onto the train with the face of burdock and asterid, the pin of maysilee, the voice of lenore dove, and a background so devastatingly similar to his own. of course sweetheart slipped out. and of course he did everything he could to keep her alive

beetee latier came up with one singular plan ever to defeat the hunger games and canonically tried to make it work TWICE despite the fact that it literally blew up in his face the first time.

this officially makes him the world’s most accurate fictional scientist because he HAS a favorite hypothesis that he IS going to make sure works even if it fucking kills him

[quadrupledeckerquesadilla]

so you’re telling me that after what happened to louella/lou lou haymitch had to watch peeta come back from the capitol as a “mutt version of himself” and question whether the shell of a human with peeta’s face was even peeta at all

and he had to do all that SOBER???

[quadrupledeckerquesadilla]

snow really convinced himself lucy gray didn't love him (after she wrote a whole song about him and tried to run away with him) and then forty years later told sixteen year old haymitch abernathy that dying in the arena would be dodging a bullet compared to loving a covey girl. top 10 situationships gone horribly wrong

the "I'm not a drinker myself" to gradually becoming an alcoholic to numb out the pain pipeline

the "I don't want them to change me. turn me into something I'm not" to being turned into a mutt version of himself pipeline

the "I do everything in my power to protect my sister" to losing her anyway pipeline

my heart has never dropped so hard as it did when I read the line: "i'll have to eat the others now. the ones sid gave me."

he accidentally poisoned his girlfriend, the only person he loved left in the world just HOURS after he lost his whole family.

i feel sick. actually sick.

my fav thing about sunrise on the reaping was when haymitch was like yeah caeser i'm a lone wolf 😏 i'm with the newcomers but i'm not WITH the newcomers, yknow? they call me a rascal. a rebel against the gamemasters. I scored a ONE and that is a THREAT. you do not want to mess with me 🙅

cut to him with like 20 kids following him around like ducklings, him hiding in his t-shirt, him letting a bunny guide him to safety because it reminded him of his girlfriend, and him making nightlights out of potatoes.

acts of sheer audacity are all that convince plutarch to recruit teenagers into the rebellion. haymitch for drinking the milk & katniss for shooting the arrow through the apple. these interactions alone tell him all he needs to know about their places in the revolution. how many unsuccessful others were there? why & how did snow never catch on to this pattern?
