[catastrophic29]

Plutarch: Would you guys be there for me if I was going through something?

Finnick: Nope, absolutely not.

Peeta: I hope it sucks, whatever you're going through.

Haymitch: I hope it emotionally scars you for the rest of your life.

Katniss: I hope you reach out to me so I can ignore you.

Johanna: I can't wait to go to your funeral, knowing I could've changed that outcome.

No, because Katniss wasn’t just luckier—she was the person who fit the puzzle perfectly.

Sparking the rebellion required a specific formula, you need a leader and good support, it wasn’t something that could come together with just a few random elements. Haymitch, for example, could never have executed it. Why, you ask? Because the people didn’t connect with him emotionally—it was difficult to root for him.

Not only that, but all of Haymitch’s acts of defiance went unnoticed because the Capitol had no reason to broadcast that footage. In contrast, Katniss’s actions were essential to show, because the audience was emotionally invested in her.

Take, for instance, the romance between Katniss and Peeta. Even though it began as a strategy, it became an act of defiance. The Capitol’s rule was clear: only one victor could survive. But here were Katniss and Peeta, taking an oath to protect each other, going directly against the Capitol's narrative of self-preservation.

This idea of self-preservation is key to understanding the Capitol's control. It’s what breaks down the power of the districts, keeping them subdued. Over time, people in the districts stop fighting, stop rebelling, all for the sake of saving their own lives. Katniss even points this out when she volunteers for Prim—she explicitly says what she did was 'radical'.

Anyway, back to the point: Haymitch was never someone the Capitol’s citizens could root for, Katniss was. The Capitol and District grew emotionally attached to her, which turned her into a symbol. Katniss’s entire persona is emotional and instinctive, and even Plutarch mentions something along those lines—I can’t quite recall the exact quote. It talks about the importance of emotional connection I think, ugh I can't remember.

Plutarch: Okay, well, I guess I just never think of money as an issue.

Haymitch: That’s because you have it.

Plutarch: That’s a good point.
