they're soulmates and one of them dies but the other still sees the world in color so they refuse to believe that the other is really dead and so they try to fight the government that keeps the other in a secret lab. they're bathena. bobby is alobby

Making a very specific portrait of Bertha in my mind:

"I was nothing special"

"I wish I had my confidence when I was your age"

"[my mother] had nothing when she lived and nothing when she died" (+her very soft "thank you" when George says "you loved her, that wasn't nothing")

"[your mother said] you are the only one of my children who can achieve my dreams"

The last point especially is like... Imagine being told that as a child and carrying it the rest of your life - you are the only one who can do this, the only person capable of it, the only person who should carry it. Like how do you hear that and not have everything Bertha does make sense to you

"i asked chatgpt" well i calculated the number of the beast. it is napoleon. six hundred three score and six. and i will kill him one day. he's no great man, none of us are great men, we're caught in the waves of history. nothing matters; everything matters, it's all the same. Oh, if only I could not see it, that dreadful, terrible, it.

I’m starting to think some of y’all haven’t actually felt the rain on your skin… which is crazy because no one else can feel it for you

*Katniss and Peeta enters Haymitch's home carrying a big cake*

In unison: "HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAAYMI......"

*Discovers Effie and Haymitch making out on couch

Peeta: "I think I actually prefered when I was reaped".

I genuinely think there was no greater insight into the modern Christian mindset than when the Pope said he very much hoped Hell was empty and he was absolutely hounded by both Catholics and Protestants outraged at the idea of a man who wanted a place of infinite suffering to have nobody in it.

[sarazanmai]

No offense, but time cast a spell on you, but you won't forget me. I know I could've loved you, but you would not let me. I'll follow you down 'til the sound of my voice will haunt you. Give me just a chance, you'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you.

[effieotto]

hot take, but Effie never had a real chance to leave Twelve. Her being picked as District Twelve’s Escort and never managing to move up for a better District was rigged by Plutarch, in name of the Revolution and the prospect of her moving up was never real

Stay with me. When Plutarch told Haymitch about Effie assuming Drusilla’s position during his Victory tour, he said it as if her employment had been more of an agreement between him and the Gamemakers than a decision she’d the chance to make by herself

“Anyway, I pitched Effie last-minute and they jumped on the idea. Especially since she brought the depraved uncle’s wardrobe with her.”

He could have said that “she had applied for the job” or that “the position was offered to her”. Instead he said that “HE pitched her”. Subtly implying that she’d no saying on the matter. He’d choosen her by hand and thrown her inside of this mess….and why?

Well, Haymitch’s was a essencial factor for whatever revolution they intended to achieve in the future. Although he failed miserably in his own attempt of breaking the Games, the constant fire he carried on his heart and the strategical habiliteis he still had would be needed if they truly planned in ever succed to overthrow the government. And Plutarch knew that they wouldn’t do it if Haymitch managed to kill himself during his mentor years (or drown his brain in enough alcohol to result in irreversible damage or clinical insanity)…Plutarch needed someone to keep him in line. To keep him grounded and alive. To watch out for his drinking and force him to never forget about the humanity he carried inside of himself…Plutarch needed someone kind and stubborn to keep constantly reminding him about who he truly was and why he should keep fighting —in her eyes, for their tributes. In Plutarch’s? for their little revolution

Effie Trinket was the last person who’d known him when he was still full of humanity and love. She was the gentle soul who first provided him the kind of understanding Plutarch knew would be needed to keep his revolutionary spirit intact. She wasn’t fully brainwashed and wouldn’t interfere if Haymitch ever did something suspicious and she was loyal enough to be quiet if she ever noticed something…Effie was not a rebel, but Plutarch used her as the perfect tool to keep his fallen Jabberjay from stp singing his tune.

it’ll be fine I just have to be a shaking terrified animal about it

[diamondsunbursts-and-marblehalls]

Effie, to her credit, stands by me.

[happybirthdaydarling]

I think in theory Effie deserves better but my personal head canon is that Haymitch and Effie kind of gravitate around and towards each other over the 25 years. Sexually, romantically, emotionally.

Some years she’s in a relationship (my Effie is bi) and other years something reminds him too much of Lenore and he’s too guilty to go to her, but when he’s just the right level of drunk and she’s unattached and they both experience the horrors they find comfort in each other.

They know each other intimately and deeply and horrifically but if it was ever real outside of the apartments of the Capital it would be something that could be lost so they don’t acknowledge it in the cold light of day.

They love each other and in fact at different times they are in love with the other (depressingly it doesn’t overlap) but it’s just something that they never can pursue in reality. He thinks he’s betraying Lenore Dove by loving anyone else and not stoping the reaping.

But after the epilogue, after he fulfilled his promise to Lenore Dove, I like to imagine that Effie comes to 12 to meet the first toast baby and there in the warm summer sun, when Haymitch thinks his time is coming near, it’s actually his final rebirth.

He and Effie finally allow themselves to be together at like age 60 and spend their twilight years essentially in quiet comfort together.
