Dahling you simply must read this book! It’s all about this devious little caterpillar who simply gorges himself on all manner of divine things

One of the many things that kills me with Sunrise on the Reaping is that Katniss and Peeta saw that heavily edited version of Haymitch's Games that makes him out to be a "jackass."

Haymitch in SOTR is so incredibly compassionate and caring and selfless--he's not trying to win the Games, he's trying to keep his loved ones alive, he's trying to rebel against the Capitol, he's trying to protect Louella and Lou Lou and Ampert and Maysilee and Wellie. Despite his running internal commentary labelling himself as selfish and wretched throughout the story, it's clear that everyone can detect his gentleness--Effie comments on it, it's why Ampert feels safe with him, it's what draws the District 6 doves to him--I mean, he calls them "my doves," doesn't he?! It breaks my heart that he narrates the story with so much self-hatred, and it's even worse when the story is edited by the Capitol to convey exactly that--

And then Katniss and Peeta, the people who know him best and love him best, see that heavily edited story, designed to paint Haymitch as a jackass, a selfish wretch, and they don't question it for a moment. Even they, who know what it is to be loved by Haymitch, don't question the way the Capitol paints him. Absolutely everyone is blind to the gentleness in Haymitch, most of all Haymitch himself.

But I guess that's the power of propaganda.

Just imagining the stress Haymitch went through when Peeta came home, how he must’ve spent hours wondering if this was his real kid or if it was some other boy, like it was another Louella.

In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.

i'm so glad goncharov happened when it did, right before prolific public use of AI. that was pure honest gaslighting straight from the heart. real human whimsicality and trickery thru blood sweat and tears. we were a family. and we all gonched, together. you cant replicate that with any machine.
