Lowk SOTR makes the series worse and people praising it like it’s a puzzle piece are morons who can’t understand how retcons nor narratives work.

Like that it has currently 4.7 Stars on Goodreads is insane to me, like....you guys have no issues whatsoever with this book...like really? Even from just a "technical" stand point with the prose, dialogue and pacing??? (Score will probably change soon in like 6 months or so, because a lot of those 5 star reviews came in before the book was even out but still)

But yeah this being the "missing puzzle piece that explains everything" is just....not true? The story works fine without it. Like even TBOSAS added more interesting thing to story to see the early years of the games. And a deeper look into Snow as a character because from the books alone, we know nothing about him, so getting inside on him was interesting.

Honestly main reason I liked TBOSAS even as a concept is because this was a prequel nobody asked for, so it felt like truly the quote people constantly throw at Collins with "I only write when I have something to say" But yeah back to SOTR, I will just say.... not everything needs an explanation, especially small mundane things. Like what did it really add to the story learning that the "Sweetheart" nickname is actually a super tragic reason behind it and it's because Katniss reminds Haymitch of a dead girl he never mentions in the trilogy

Like that Haymitch has this connection with Katniss before even getting to know her kind of ruin the relationship for me, I've always liked the idea that he finally got out of his self pitying spiral of alcoholism, because he realized he truly had a fighter in his hand and someone he saw himself in and getting the chance to save a younger version of himself. That was at least my take on them.

BUT NO, she is actually the daughter of his best friend he never mentions to her, like even him finding some connection with her because she had Maysilee's pin is more meaningful because that is established in the main books and we the reader can just put those two things together.

How does it make Haymitch a better character if the only reason he bothered to finally try was because of Katniss being someone he should care about, idk can't people just care about each other for being themselves instead of it being because of some past relationship

Don't know if I'll go as far as to say everyone who enjoyed the book are morons, but I think some of them will probably benefit from actually thinking more critically about the media they enjoy Ironically enough

Hello I have just stumbled onto your blog and I absolutely love your art style it's very unique. I love your art of the morphlings would you mind sharing your headcanons and interpretation of them?

Oh yes sure, have written out a whole fic with them so obviously more in detail exploration of them there but anyway can do a quick summary of them

So their names are Maureen Trevi and Cassius Winston.

Maureen winning the 49th Games at age 18 and Cassius winning the 60th games at age 16.

Maureen's arena was a humid forest where she spent most of the game hiding away and poisoning people to win.

Cass' arena was a replica of a European village and he also similarly to her just hid away and just tried his best to avoid trouble.

Maureen was Cass' mentor for his games and they grew really close afterwards. Having a semi sibling bond-ish with one another. Both of them being big art lovers and love bonding together through art.

Here is the fic about them if you are curious to learn more ( X )
