I like to think that Suzanne Collins also fell a little in love with Elizabeth Banks’s portrayal of Effie Trinket, and that it influenced how she wrote Effie and Haymitch’s relationship from Haymitch’s perspective. Seeing Effie through his eyes allows her to have far more depth and complexity as a Capitol citizen than Katniss, as a narrator, was ever really able to give her.

You have to imagine that Effie cared for him in some fashion or form. Their relationship was undoubtedly complicated to start with, but by the time Katniss meets her, Effie has been working with District 12 tributes for years. That kind of dedication to one single district (the poorest district!!) doesn’t happen without leaving a mark—or having a reason behind it.

Whether she wanted to or not, Effie clearly developed a soft spot for the children of District 12. Otherwise, why would she have stayed? She had been successful early in her career, and her work styling Haymitch and other tributes should have opened doors to more prestigious districts and opportunities within the Capitol—but she remained in District 12.

She also knew Cinna and genuinely cared about him. She’s not robotic in any way, just a product of her capital culture. That’s part of what makes Effie such a compelling character. She’s not inherently cruel or malicious; she helps people because she genuinely wants to. Like Katniss, she gets involved in the games to help her sister. She doesn’t come from a lot of money—I mean she styles Haymitch, Maysilee, Lou-Lou, and Wyatt with clothes from the back of a closet.

At the same time, she’s far from perfect. She’s still complicit in the Hunger Games system—first as a stylist and later as an escort. She still somehow shows up every July fourth and happily draws names from a bowl to go fight in the name of patriotism.

Her overall passion for helping people line up to die and finding peace with saying goodbye to people she cares for over and over again is what makes her so interesting. I just love her as a character. She’s flawed, compassionate, frustrating, and deeply human all at once.

“My mum wore something like this for her wedding,” James explains. He picks up a crown wrapped in sunflowers and places it on his head with a mischievous grin. “How do I look?” Honestly? He looks radiant, like the sun god himself doesn’t have a leg to stand on— but Lily doesn’t tell him that. Instead, she pretends to smell some nearby daisies.

It's more a Robin Hood than a knight but he got some apples.

This is a friendly reminder that none disabled people often do benefit from the same accommodations disabled people benefit from.

My dad used to work for Vodafone and likes to tell a story about when he was working on a voicemail transcription service.

And there was a woman there who was some form of disability advocate (it was the 90s so her existence in the company was a minor miracle) and apparently she completely blew his mind on that project.

See, he'd imagined that this service was exclusively gonna be for deaf people. Obviously very useful for the very small number of people who couldn't hear their phone, but why would you even own a mobile phone if you couldn't hear?

But she described to him all the times he might want to read a message instead of listen to it. Maybe he was in a loud football crowd. Maybe there was important info that he needed to copy down that was spoken too fast. Maybe he was holding his sleeping newborn (me) and didn't want his phone to be loud and wake them up.

This doesn't feel as revolutionary as all that to those of us that have only ever known phones with the ability 'send text message', but given the timing and placement of this conversation I wonder if this woman and this project is *part of the reason text messaging exists*. The first text (SMS) message was sent by Vodafone UK in 1992 - where + when this conversation was happening - and then for a long time it was supported exclusively for 'messages from the carrier', and this project was an early potential extra use of the SMS protocol.

So Yeh, building for disability is kinda handy..

can you imagine how often you would use sign language if everyone knew it
