i’m so appreciative to suzanne for reframing the rebellion from the original trilogy as a “they saw their moment and took it” type situation and showing us that they’ve been trying, over and over, with so many failed attempts, to break the arena and incite a rebellion for decades. in this current political climate never giving up hope is so essential. haymitch wasn’t the first nor the last, and they kept going even when it seemed completely futile, and that’s what counts, and what ultimately saves them all.

Part of what makes Sunrise on the Reaping so much more poignant than the other books for me is the fact that it's the first book in the series with a reliable narrator. In the trilogy, Katniss tells it how she sees it but her perspective is warped from years of being in survival mode and not paying attention to relationships or deconstructing Capitol propaganda. Snow is so manipulative that he tells events to himself in a way that fits the story he wants to have. And even though readers can see this, it still affects how the story is told. Haymitch, on the other hand, is a reliable narrator and he tells it like it is. That is what makes it so painful to read, I think, is that for the first time we're getting unfiltered truth. Haymitch doesn't have a survival-mode-induced haze blocking him from seeing the extent of the horrors like Katniss does or the manipulation-induced haze justifying his actions for himself like Snow does. It's just raw atrocity.

also I love that suzanne wrote katniss and haymitch in first person pov but with coryo she was like “third person for you… you get some distance, creep.”

I ALSO THOUGHT ABOUT THIS BUT I think it's very intentional in the sense that it's fitting with the character. Coriolanus doesn't want anyone too close, he won't let anyone really know what's going on inside his head and that includes you as the reader. It gives "unreliable narrator" energy in a way it feels like he's also manipulating you by letting you see only what he wants they way he wants. You'll never have a connection with Snow the way you have with Haymitch or Katniss because his character would never allow it.

Peeta: I'd like to wake up with you every day for the rest of our lives.

Katniss: I wake up at 5am every day to go hunting.

Peeta: I'd like to see you at some point every day for the rest of our lives.

what they say: i'm fine

what they're thinking about: in 'stand tall' the big finale song of julie and the phantoms, julie doesn't know the ghosts are being held captive and that's why they haven't come to sing with her. BUT she goes on stage and sings anyway because their friendship and belief in her has given her the self actualisation and strength to do that, to literally stand tall. but then it's Julie singing for herself from the heart that calls them from being imprisoned and frees them. they all come into the song one by one, julie is alone at first until they're singing together at the end because they're all singing about standing tall as individuals but they can literally only do that because of each other. their love and belief in her as well as her love and belief in them and what they make together literally ties the ghosts back to the world of the living and the life they never got to live. Julie brings them back to life by bringing them into her life and by bringing them into her life, she's giving herself the life she's always wanted to live. that's love innit

tired of people trying to explain why netflix is dying with graphs and economic data and statistics and shit. the REAL reason netflix is dying is because they cancelled julie and the phantoms.
