sotr shattering my heart into a million pieces immediately by telling us haymitch‘s birthday is on the day of the reaping-

[seleyyn]

haymitch saying “I don’t drink” hahaha so funny I have a gun in my mouth

[seleyyn]

Katniss and Peeta's feast in the cave comes with silverware and plates. I always found this odd- it seemed as if it would have inflated the cost frivolously. I figured it had something to do with standards in the captiol, especially with how Effie remarks about table manners on the train.

no. it was haymitch both honoring Maysilee and continuing her poster.

Suzanne Collin’s just said fuck you to everyone who’s ever critiqued the Hunger Games as being a “teen girl saves the day” story. She said oh, Mockingjay didn’t make it clear enough? Here’s a book about how people have been rebelling for decades only to have their efforts suppressed and propagandized. Rebellion takes time and it takes failure and Katniss may have been the spark that ignited the wildfire but she did so standing atop the doused flames of everyone who came before her.

saw this days ago but I wasn’t there yet… just got to ampert’s death. brb losing my mind.

[seleyyn]

Suzanne Collins was really pissed when she saw all those edits of Snow as ‘daddy’ and whatever other bullshit after the TBOSAS movie, sat down at her laptop again and started typing “let’s see if you get the message now when HE KILLS 47 CHILDREN”

[seleyyn]

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”

[seleyyn]

Me when the story that obviously isn’t going to have a happy ending doesn’t have a happy ending

[seleyyn]

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

[seleyyn]

I just can’t wrap my head around how thoroughly haymitch’s acts of rebellion were erased. this is a victor who literally set off two bombs in the arena. imagine having to follow a script about your own trauma, while trying to keep track of what’s “real or not real” about the most horrific period of your life.

haymitch’s story is a reminder that the rebellion was decades in the making, built off of generations of grief and trauma. how many other acts of resistance were covered up by the capitol? how many other victors defied them in the arena?

[seleyyn]

Maysilee’s final poster wasn’t her death, it was her pin being the face of the rebellion 25 years later.

[seleyyn]

haymitch says himself katniss is like him, but luckier.

katniss realized the berries were nightlock before peeta ate them.

"I first saw the girl at the Hob when she was just a baby. Burdock was so proud of her, he toted her around everywhere. After he died in that mine explosion, she started coming alone, trading the odd squirrel or rabbit. Tough and smart, her hair in two braids then, reminding me for all the world of Louella McCoy, my sweetheart of old. And after she volunteered for the Games, that nickname couldn’t help but slip out." - Haymitch Abernathy, Sunrise on the Reaping.

I stayed up so I could finish reading onyx storm and I all I can say is I think there was never an ending to a book that has left me more stressed than this

[seleyyn]

wait can somebody help me real quick

I think I missed something

What was the reason Andarna couldn’t fire the wardstone in Aretia? Like why did they need one of the other irids to do it?

[seleyyn]

well this hasn‘t aged well has it?

I think it’s safe to say this is the entire fandom right now

[seleyyn]

thomastair lives rent free and happily in my head as the only couple that truly got everything in this book and didn't lose character development in the process
