Warden Antoine is so funny for being someone who will make a stirring declaration about how the Wardens have an opportunity to reach for a future in which they are dedicated to protecting and restoring and nurturing the life and landscapes lost to the Blight, that it is their duty and it will give them purpose as they reckon with the end of Archdemons, then immediately provide you with like three hundred pounds of explosives he personally developed from scratch so you can blow something up for him

Laudna casts Hunger of the Shadow

"And in this moment, she has control... and nothing is going to stand in her way."

Hidan and Kakuzu as the Chaplain and the Doctor from the game Dread Hunger

[thesweetnessofspring]

Katniss actually said that if not for the existence of the Games and Panem's shitty state in general, that she, at 17 years old, could possibly be married and pregnant. Full-on teen mothering it with her dandelion in the spring if Panem could chill out for a sec and stop killing children. And then she proceeded to fantasize about Peeta and his child safe in the meadow. This thought alone gave her one of three nights of restful sleep without drugs post-Games during the series (the other two being when she was in Peeta's arms).

And yet when the Games did end permanently and Katniss indeed went ahead and married/committed to Peeta and had a family with him at about 30 years old, some people still did a surprise Pikachu face and complained it was out of character.

WHAT MORE DID SHE HAVE TO DO TO FORESHADOW THE ENDING?

“So that day, in music assembly, the teacher asked who knew the valley song. Your hand shot right up in the air. She stood you up on a stool and had you sing it for us. And I swear, every bird outside the windows fell silent,” Peeta says.

When Prim’s name is called for the 74th reaping, Katniss sweeps Prim behind her, Volunteers in her place, stands up on the stage, and when Effie calls for applause, District 12 takes part in the boldest form of dissent they can manage. Silence.

as im going down farther into the country genre, i’ve started to explore bluegrass. i’ve really come to like it especially after tbosas and i came across a song called the little girl and the dreadful snake by bill monroe which not only went hand in hand with lucy gray and snows relationship but the entire franchise and its characters. the end of the song mentions that they can still hear the daughters voice around it reminds me of how the hanging tree song survived all the way to katniss’ story. not only that but there’s so many other meanings in this song, im about to combust.

Our darling wandered far away while she was out at play

Lost in the woods she couldn’t hear a sound

She was our darling girl the sweetest thing in all the world

We searched for her but she couldn’t be found

I heard the screams of out little girl far away

Hurry Daddy there’s and awful dreadful snake

I ran as fast as I could through the dark and dreary woods

But I reached our darling girl too late

Oh I began to cry I knew that soon she’d have to die

For the snake was warning me close by

I held her close to my face she said daddy kill that snake

It’s getting dark tell mommy goodbye

To all parents I must say don’t let your children stray away

They need your love to guide them along

Oh God I pray we’ll see our darling girl some day

It seems we still can hear her voice around our home

sunrise of the reaping spoilers below!

not only that but it made me think about how lenore dove died by eating the gum drops that snow left and in the song it says that the snake was warning him that it was close by and thinking about how snow was letting haymitch know that snow can always get to him and the people he loves.

[echo-of-the-eye]

I uh- just finished sunrise on the reaping. I think I was actively sobbing for the last hour. Suzanne Collin’s you’ve done it again. You broke me

Solas seeing my female Dalish Elf Rook in Veilguard after romancing my Inqy Lavellan gonna be giving the same vibes as President Snow watching Katniss Everdeen and being reminded of Lucy.
