#The hunger games

[eaglerayys]

Suzanne Collins 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.

The thing about Peeta is that he gave Katniss an out multiple times throughout the series.

He offered to die in their first games. He undid his bandage on his bleeding leg and literally said “It’s what I want”

In the Quarter Quell he volunteered so that he could protect her and guarantee her survival and gave his blessing for her to move on.

In Mockingjay he asks someone in Squad 451 to kill him and in the tunnels he asked to be left behind and die.

He repeatedly gave Katniss the opportunity to let him go and love someone else but Katniss refused. She refused each time because she can’t live without him. She loves him, it was always him.

Re reading the original hunger games is so funny bcus katniss can literally read haymitch's mind like what. I'm dying of thirst but haymitch hasn't sent me water, that must mean that there's some nearby!! And one kiss is one pot of broth!! Like she even acknowledges that it's strange when she's like oh to peeta this would just be a pot of broth. Haymitch will give her one look and katniss knows immediately what he means and she's right every time

Meanwhile peeta is like your dress really suits you and you look nice :) and katniss is like he's trying to kill me

Just finished reading the Hunger games trilogy.

I wanted to capture the book versions, but the film adaptations still have an iron grip on me, so you might see some similarities

The Reluctant Victor, inspired by The Reluctant Bride by Auguste Toulmouche - I just thought that this painting was SO perfect for Katniss and I had to draw it!

[crazyness-overpowers]

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

No but the Hunger Games really said "what do you hate more- the atrocities or the people who commit them against you? Because like it or not there IS a difference. If you hate the people who commit acts of pure evil more than you hate the acts themselves, what will stop you from becoming just like your enemies in your pursuit of justice? What will keep you from commiting those very same acts against THEM when the opportunity arises? And what then? The cycle of pain and suffering will never stop. Round and round it'll go. Nothing will ever change. But. BUT. If you hate the atrocities. If you hate the vile, senseless acts MORE than you hate the people who did them to you. If you are able to see that evil is evil regardless of who does it... The cycle ends with you. No, you may never get justice. But you will never be responsible for making others, even your enemies, suffer the same crimes you have. The atrocities will never be committed by you, never by your hand. And that's the way you change the world. It's the ONLY way" and that's why I am sure it will never stop being one of the most relevant works of fiction ever created

katniss, thinking: he's going to eat everyone's organs. holy fuck. he's gonna eat their hearts.

I’m so glad cause this has been my OTP forever

I just want you all to know i shipped peeta and katniss from the beginning because i absolutely love their dynamic

Katniss: "What are you planning? What cruel machinations lie in your twisted labyrinth of a mind? TELL ME WHAT DO YOU WANT? WHY WON'T YOU JUST KILL ME YOU EVIL MASTERMIND?"

Peeta: *is just some guy*

[elegantponydreamersuitcase]

Everlark Is a hilarious ship

because Peeta is like "I'm not sure the girl I like knew I existed before the reaping"

While his crush over here is waxing poetic about he reminds her of hope, spring, flowers and sunshine.

Just realized that the Catching Fire arena is reminiscent of the way American films depict the Vietnam War and the terrain there with the palm trees, the hills, and the humid, hot weather (plus man-made dangers around every corner you see in those movies)

Coincidence? I think not
