"I love you like all-fire"

actually i love the reveal that the only reason effie got involved with the hunger games at all was because her little sister needed her.

“sotr is mid because you already know how it ends” shut the fuck up, the point of the book is that despite knowing how it ends you would have never known what actually went down because that’s the point of propaganda, the whole book is about the power of propaganda

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

[slaymitchswaggernathy]

Anyway everything about Ampert’s story made me cry so hard. Absolutely heartbreaking. Like he’s Beetee’s son and was only reaped to punish his dad. And they made Beetee mentor his own son to certain death. A death that turned out to be incredibly brutal, terrifying and painful. Eaten alive by carnivorous squirrels until there was literally nothing left but bones. I cried so fucking hard at that scene.

Like obvi I knew he was gonna die, but this was a special kind of horrible. Poor Beetee in the Capitol and his pregnant wife back home, probably alone, having to watch their 12 year old child eaten alive by mutts

A flint striker token for the boy who tried and seemingly failed to ignite the rebellion but would go on to mentor and ensure the girl on fire succeeded where he failed

president snow is so funny when bird are mentioned… the word dove and he like “good thing you are going to die” like stop tweaking out

the thing i keep thinking about is how katniss, despite knowing the capitol is evil and despite seeing how they edited her games to tell a story, didn’t question haymitch’s much at all really when watching them. really drilling in the message that no one is immune to propaganda.

[slaymitchswaggernathy]

Ok but can we talk about the fact that we now have a very specific reason for WHY Haymitch called Katniss ‘sweetheart’ and it was never something that he intended to be condescending or mean?

Like that’s what he called Louella, who he loved like a sister and was killed before she even made it to the arena. And when Katniss started coming to the Hob after Burdock died in the mines, she wore her hair in two braids and it reminded Haymitch of Louella, who wore her hair in two braids. And then when she volunteered, the old nickname slipped out.

Like this book is so fucking good

[slaymitchswaggernathy]

The devastating parallel of Haymitch not being reaped, he was just taken because he was trying to protect the girl he loved. And the next time he’s reaped he’s replaced by a boy trying to do the same thing.

maysilee donner really said if i have to fight to the death im gonna serve rupaul levels of cunt while doing so and i just think that's really cool of her

“katniss got peeta back but she never got peeta back”

says who? like really says who!?

because suzanne collins never wrote that peeta never returned to his normal self. all she wrote was that peeta continues to have flashbacks which is plenty common for survivors of war.

if anything, she shows a number of snippets of the “old” peeta coming back through his hijacking. his memory coming back as they battle in the capitol. him not letting katniss eat the nightlock pill after she assassinated coin. planting the primrose bushes. carrying katniss to bed after she cries with buttercup. bringing fresh baked bread to breakfast the following morning. providing and receiving safety and comfort while sharing a bed with katniss at night.

seeing this common sentiment that peeta never became himself again after the war is such a crazy take to me. like yes, the war changed him. everyone who faced the war is changed. but while he was stripped of his identity, it’s clear throughout the novel that peeta and those around him fight hard and succeed at helping him come back to who he was as much as is possible for anyone who survived.

Thought this was a necessary measure because we all know that surge of clueless thirsty tiktok fans is gonna happen.

[woah this post blew up how,,,,, psa that i have indepth analysis + theories on my feed if you crave more sotr content]

[slaymitchswaggernathy]

peeta, to katniss: i love laying my head on your chest when we go to sleep so i can hear your heartbeat.

haymitch, to effie: i recorded you snoring so you can hear how fucking loud you are and why i can't fucking sleep.

[slaymitchswaggernathy]

haymitch: come on, guys. trust me. when have i ever done anything stupid?

katniss: literally all the time.

peeta: we keep a list.

katniss: effie alphabetized it.

[slaymitchswaggernathy]

katniss: admit it! you like effie!

haymitch: oh, come on. i mean, am i attracted to her? sure. do my days feel better when i'm around her? yeah. does she get me in ways no woman ever has? indubitably. do i fantasize about her? yes. but do i like her? the answer is no.
