#See More Sunrises

[districtunrest]

I shot myself in the foot by reading so many Haymitch's Games fics for years bc I truly am satisfied with that part of the canon, to the point where I've never wanted to write it in full myself and I don't even want it now from the actual author

if Sunrise is a Haymitch POV that begins the morning of the reaping, I worry it'll read like another fanfiction - we learn the names of his mother and brother and girlfriend and get a bit of their personality and their lives before he's reaped, and then he goes to the Capitol, and from there it's fun to see how different fics fill out the summary Katniss gave us and maybe even subvert some things. after that, a confrontation with Snow that Snow wins, and the terrible thing we all know was going to happen that our beloved boy didn't (how to take '2 weeks after crowned?' some portray it as they were killed while he was away, others as soon as the cameras left; there's a fire, there's spread out one-by-one accidents, etc etc), and the hard-to-write/painful-to-read portrait of grief that follows. and then *the* crackdown, the fraying community ties, the isolation, the tension with his friends we met briefly before the reaping. and then maybe... a bit of hope... a hint of the future rebellion to come: Haymitch meets intern Plutarch, meets [whichever named victor] on his Tour (where he'll surely come across that room in the D11 Justice Building) and knows things aren't done here, not like Snow wants him to believe...

like. I'll only be comparing it to all those other Haymitch POV fics that did the same exact thing. unless SC completely surprises us - a time skip? a revelation that blows all our interpretations out of the water? something??

but! I'm not entitled to have the story as I want it. I don't even think I'm the target audience anymore. I just wish, if she's going this direction, that she'd written it a little sooner, before I read almost every fan version of it since 2009 lol

dont get me wrong I would love a book in haymitch's pov. but it's too obvious for suzanne. we already know about his games, so I feel like she'll likely do something different. especially since we've already had the whole thg trilogy about the arena. and of course in tbosas it was about the whole games thing, but in an extremely unique way. I still think Haymitch will be an important character to the story, but in a very different way than most would expect.

the way that diff languages sound r so fascinating they're all different and all so vivid

“I thought there might be some measure of hope still left for you.”

“Hope?” The word was uttered with disdain. “I thought you were smarter than that, elf,” Miraak said, turning his ethereal form to the surrounding peaks. “I don’t want it. I don’t need it. I would sooner spend a second eternity in Apocrypha than allow it to poison my mind.”

He turned to Solinar again.

“There is no hope, only action.”

This has probably been said before, but the parallel of Suletta reaching out to a battered and hurt Miorine in both this scene and in Planet Quetta, complete with the exact same small, polite little smile, is just. screams in agony

In planet Quetta, Suletta's hands were bloody. She didn't understand what she just did. She still loved Miorine, but she loved blindly, too caught up in Prospera's plans. And this made her love dangerous and uncanny for everyone around her. Yes, she extended her hand, but it was as if Prospera were extending that hand and not her.

Here, Suletta extends her hand from a place of understanding. She finally understands the motives of her mother and Miorine, and she's ready to re-forge her bonds with Miorine without them being bound to Prospera's plans. She loves, but doesn't love blindly, and with her newfoud wisdom she can use her incredible amounts of love for everybody around her to protect them. She extended her hand and took a step forward on her own.

This show makes me want to shove every knife in my knife drawer down my fucking throat. AUUUUUUUUGHHHHHHHHHHH

headcanon that scorpius was a sick child and was in and out of hospital constantly, perhaps related to astoria's blood curse but not directly. his immune system isnt very strong, and everytime he gets sick they're terrified that it's the blood curse but also whatever else it could be, because it's always so sudden and so intense and they call healers over to the house who recommend this delirious feverish 4 year old is hospitalised immediately, and you'd think it'd get easier to some extent because they'd be used to it, but everytime they feel like this is it, this is the time he'll walk in to the hospital and not walk out again

[districtscare]

haymitch and chaff rant once again but do you think about how if they were partners hypothetically how they would have a reputation to uphold (despite being alcoholics and despite being shunned for it even though it IS a sickness) and how homosexuality would not bode well as a victor, especially not BETWEEN two victors. and how they'd have never gotten to live a life where their love wasn't scrutinized/something shameful not only because one of them doesn't survive to see that life, but maybe it would've been frightening. i love you/despite it being a form of rebellion/despite what we are and what we represent. i love yous could never be public, they would never be a common word at gatherings where your hand is clasped over mine and the night has crept in and we've had too much to drink!!!

[seagulley]

possibly our last sunrise walk until fall :')

[potatounicoorn]

I know we propably won't have book accurate Haymitch, but gods I hope we'll get a book accurate Haymitch🙏

[mudpuddlenl]

Actually. You know what? I hope we get multiple pov’s in the new hunger games book.

It’s maybe too much to wish for pov’s from all 48 but I hope it’s at least like, 12 of them. Maybe one for each district. I hope we get to know them and root for them and they die anyways. I hope it shows how pointless the games are, how even those painted as ‘villains’ (such as the careers) are in fact just kids who want to survive. Kids who have lives outside of the arena and people who care about them. I hope it shows even more how horrifying the concept of the games is.

In addition to the 'Jesus, son of a carpenter' post, do you guys ever think about the fact Jesus was but a child who had hopes and dreams? That maybe he wanted to grow up and grow old and be a carpenter just like Joseph?

Just thinking about Jesus, a man, barely twenty, sent to the cross begging divinity for just a little bit longer, knowing it is fruitless, but he still begs because he is human.

You ever think he wanted to hold his mother's hand one more time?

A REPORT / BASILIK GATE, FLAMING FISTS HEADQUARTERS

Captain, the last patrol came back from the Szarr's residence early this morning. The main hall was strangely empty aside from a few confused guests who couldn't answer any of our question, as if they didn't know what they were doing there. The real carnage was found on the lower floors, I had to send the new recruits home to spare them the view and I'll admit even some of my most experienced Fists had to take a breather after that. Aside from the blood we found smeared on almost every surface and the various amount of undead's guts and bones that littered the floor, a nauseating smell of charred flesh saturated the air below. It was as if Lathander himself came down to drown the place in His light, burning everything in his path. Cazador Szarr's body has been identified but frakly speaking, it's not a pretty sight. I believe some powerful divine magic was at work here. Waiting for our next orders, in the meantime (and with your permission) I'll keep my guys as far from that place as possible.

[the-sun-and-the-sea]

I don’t think sotr will be from Haymitch’s pov

“With ‘Sunrise on the Reaping,’ I was inspired by David Hume’s idea of implicit submission and, in his words, ‘the easiness with which the many are governed by the few,’” Collins said in a statement. “The story also lent itself to a deeper dive into the use of propaganda and the power of those who control the narrative. The question ‘Real or not real?’ seems more pressing to me every day.”

I think Haymitch’s games will definitely be featured but I’m so excited to see whose pov it will be from. Maybe someone in the Capitol or even someone for a career district.

But I will be shocked if it’s from the perspective of Haymitch or Maysilee.
