thinking about the trinkets being somewhat disgraced in polite society. thinking about the internal class-system in the capitol. thinking about how highly effie values keeping up appearances over all else. thinking about how survival is a capitol preoccupation as well as a district one. thinking about how quickly effie rushed to ensure that her sister got a good grade. thinking about how effie was “pinched” by plutarch and then stayed on as the escort for twenty-five years.

thinking about how effie invested a lifetime of labour, effort, and belief into capitol institutions only to be imprisoned and tortured by their hand.

#PERIODDDD #not to mention the possibility that proserpina was among those escorts/stylists killed #the idea of effie entering the games business to help her sister only to lose her #oh effie trinket my emotional support fictional fascism enabler #effie trinket #sotr spoilers #thg

been rambling about effie for days because i think sotr!effie is pretty consistent with og trilogy!effie and she remains to be a compelling character to me so #yay… but i actually do have many problems with sotr and what it does to haymitch’s character 😹😹

#whatever i may have disliked about effie’s character in sotr i can let go to some extent #but haymitch?! [insert sharp objects patricia clarkson snatching amy adams' pen gif]#since like 2013 ive been an effie truther first and haymitch truther second #so i have many Thoughts #busy irl rn unfortunately so my long essay about what i feel about the book will come in a few weeks #daldalan #thg #sotr #anti sotr

saw fan speculations that effie's real name could be persephone since her sister's name is proserpina aka persephone but roman, and while i didnt see the vision at first i kinda do now?? you can even read some meaning into it: persephone, the goddess who lives a split life - half the year in the underworld, half the year on earth; effie, who gradually develops split loyalties - to her home the capitol and to the district victors she has grown to care for.

#+ the fact that as an escort she's someone who has consistently traveled between the capitol and the districts over the decades #in a way her annual visits to d12 is a time marker #as constant as the changing of the seasons aka persephone's whole thing #am i reaching well yes maybe #but its so fun to play around the hunger games world #also for the longest time i genuinely thought effie = euphemia was canon #turns out it's just a fandom-wide headcanon lmfao 😭#daldalan #thg #effie trinket #proserpina trinket #sotr spoilers #sunrise on the reaping

Sunrise on the Reaping : Q&A with Suzanne Collins

after seeing 86 votes, i figured there was no need to wait for the poll to close hehe. below the cut is the full Q&A provided in some of the special editions of ‘Sunrise on the Reaping’. there are obvious spoilers, so please, read at your own risk. i felt like this was such an insightful thing to give to us & want everyone to have access to it!!! :)

i have provided both the literal pictures of the pages from my book (scanned in my notes app) & a transcribed version into a document for easier reading. i apologize if there are any typos in the document.

SPOILERS BELOW THE CUT!!!

#all i can think about is how effie's gradual disillusionment with the capitol is now explicitly canon #like it doesnt just happen with katniss and peeta #she's been haunted by it over the years #you guys this is so serious to me #only makes angsty stress outlet middle-aged fuckbuddyship hayffie more and more real to me saurry 🤣#thg #effie trinket #haymitch abernathy #interview #sunrise on the reaping #sotr spoilers

suzanne collins talked about effie briefly in an interview for the sotr special edition and well i know it was already there in the text since the og trilogy, but hearing her explicitly talk about effie becoming jaded and desperate for "reassurance of humanity's decency" as she toils within the games machine for years felt soooo validating as a long-time effie truther

#thats the effie thats been in my head all these years!!!!#i havent directly engaged much with the fandom/community over the years but like #effie (and hayffie) has lowkey been my longest fandom hyperfixation #effie's cognitive dissonance about the games and the prospect of her having to confront it #effie clinging to this myth about the capitol because its so instrumental to the privilege she has #she doesnt become a full-on revolutionary like cinna #but she still unintentionally does these little acts of resistance - the tokens in cf for example #like it's all just so compelling to me it makes her so human #oh effie trinket my emotional support fictional fascism enabler #heart of gold but blood-soaked hands etc #daldalan #effie trinket #sotr spoilers #sunrise on the reaping #thg

[sotr spoilers] just realized that all the escorts/stylists getting killed off during the war except effie puts her in a victor-like position: she also becomes the last person standing ☹️ all the more gut-wrenching too if her sister remained involved in the games business during the 75th and was among those killed. effie entered the games business because of proserpina, who winds up dead because of something effie had an indirect hand in. it just makes effie all the more similar to katniss, of all characters.

despite the obvious differences, effie and her victors have very striking things in common: she also ends up becoming the last woman standing, she also ends up killing innocent children (albeit more indirectly i guess), and her involvement in the games was also rooted at least partly in the simple desire to look out for someone she loves.

#only - her social location puts her in a morally fraught position because she benefited from and perpetuated the capitol’s oppression.#just a mess #i can only imagine the emotional and moral quagmire effie's stuck in after the war #only solidifies the unique bond she has with her victors bc in a way theyre the ones who can come closest to understanding her #especially haymitch - as a victor himself and as someone who knew effie since before she even became involved in the games #effie trinket #thg #daldalan #sunrise on the reaping #sunrise on the reaping spoilers #sotr spoilers #proserpina trinket

i grew up on stress outlet fuckbuddyship turned tortured situationship turned love-in-middle-age, second-lease-on-life hayffie fanfiction since i was 13 so that shit is still real to me idgaf what suzanne collins says

#hayffie #daldalan #sotr spoilers #sunrise on the reaping spoilers #sunrise on the reaping #thg #haymitch abernathy #effie trinket #despairing at collins making effie be around 5 years older than haymitch 😭 now a romantic relationship seems strange #but you know #as the meme goes that sign wont stop me because i cant read!#there will unfortunately be more thg ramblings in the coming days because of this new release sorry #effie trinket you are so dear to me

your life is not an optimization problem

dragonsblowingoutbirthdaycandles

as in you'll never achieve the perfect daily routine, sleep schedule, coping mechanisms, mannerisms, fashion sense etc. even after years and years of healing and improvement and self-discovery. you will never be so good at life that you manage to utilize every waking moment. its great to be productive and all but sometimes you'll suck ass. sometimes you'll take eight hours to be done with a twenty minute job. you'll prioritize the wrong thing. you'll sleep for 12 hrs just to avoid being awake. you'll relapse. and you'll relapse again. you'll forget to turn in the assignment. you'll order too little food. life is far too large and complex for you to even experience it completely, much less try to make sense of and control it. you can't. please give up on that and be at peace with the hours you lose. they are not separate from your life.
