I think people in fandom would be happier if they focused more on things they love than the things they hate

[thornpixie]

Thats an interesting take and not one I’d ever considered. However, I personally don’t think that’s the case. I think Snow had Cinna attacked and killed purely because he designed the mockingjay dress. Not only that, but after Snow specifically requested Katniss wear her wedding dress to, presumably, humiliate her… Cinna has that literally burst into flames to reveal a mockingjay? The very symbol of the revolution? And it already was at that point, as seen by the graffiti on the walls as they approached district 11 on the victory tour. It was a huge fuck you to Snow. Cinna made very clear who his allegiance was to with that statement, and he knew he would be punished for it. He knew he would likely be killed as a result. Being able to time that punishment to throw Katniss off at the very worst possible moment, ie right before going into the arena and the blood bath at the cornucopia, was just a bonus for Snow. The other tributes looking so shaken as well is probably just a ‘fuck it’s actually happening. We are actually in the arena again’ kinda thing.

I love hunger games discussions so much man

Rewatching Hunger Games: Catching Fire. (Film #2, 2013)

The moment just before Katniss enters the arena, the peacekeepers attack and presumably kill the stylist Cinna.

When Katniss is lifting into the starting platform. She is clearly distraught. But in the background, the other Victors/Tributes also look shaken.

It was mentioned by Haymitch earlier, the other Victors/Tributes were upset about the Quarter Quell reaping. All the tributes were trying to sabotage the Games to make it stop.

As the book explains, tributes grow close to their stylists.

Does that mean President Snow didn’t just order Cinna’s attack But Snow had all the tributes’ stylists killed in front of them once they were trapped in their tubes to punish them for their defiance.

Learning about his Father

[thornpixie]

”One more time? For the audience?” He says. His voice isn’t angry. It’s hollow, which is worse. Already the boy with the bread is slipping away from me. I take his hand, holding on tightly, preparing for the cameras, and dreading the moment when I will finally have to let go”.

The Hunger Games chapter 27

[thornpixie]

Does that make any sense?..

My feet move soundlessly across the tiles. I’m only yard behind him when I say, “You should be getting some sleep.” He starts but doesn’t turn. I can see him give his head a slight shake. “I didn’t want to miss the party. It’s for us, after all.” I come up beside him and lean over the edge of the rail. The wide streets are full of dancing people. I squint to make out their tiny figures in more detail. “Are they in costumes?” “Who could tell?” Peeta answers. “With all the crazy clothes they wear here. Couldn’t sleep, either?” “Couldn’t turn my mind off,” I say. “Thinking about your family?” he asks. “No,” I admit a bit guiltily. “All I can do is wonder about tomorrow. Which is pointless, of course.” In the light from below, I can see his face now, the awkward way he holds his bandaged hands. “I really am sorry about your hands.” “It doesn’t matter, Katniss,” he says. “I’ve never been a contender in these Games anyway.” “That’s no way to be thinking,” I say. “Why not? It’s true. My best hope is to not disgrace myself and . . .” He hesitates. “And what?” I say. “I don’t know how to say it exactly. Only . . . I want to die as myself. Does that make any sense?” he asks. I shake my head. How could he die as anyone but himself? “I don’t want them to change me in there. Turn me into some kind of monster that I’m not.” / The Hunger Games, chapter 10

“Real”

So this is how I kind of imagine that this happened. These two 🥺

[thornpixie]

”It takes a long time before I get to the bottom of why I’m so upset. When I do, it’s almost mortifying to admit. All those months of taking it for granted that Peeta thought I was wonderful are over. Finally, he can see me for who I really am. Violent. Distrustful. Manipulative. Deadly.

And I hate him for it”.

Mockingjay chapter 16

[thornpixie]

Sometimes it wasn’t flashbacks, but Peeta would stare off into space with a distant expression. Katniss wouldn’t say anything, wouldn’t try and pull him back with words. She’d hold fast to him, a familiar hand on his shoulder, arms around his waist, as they both stood there, waiting until he eased back into his mind and came back to her and the kids.

[thornpixie]

me when i realize that the reason Peeta is such a good orator and so good at playing people is because he grew up in an abusive home and had to learn how to please his mother at all times so that she wouldn’t act out (which also means when he gave katniss the bread he knew EXACTLY how his mother would react when he burned it):

Caught off guard
