how do y’all think haymitch felt when katniss came back to him all “i want wiress, beetee, and mags as allies” in catching fire? hand-picking his two and a half men(tors)!!

“of course you do” as his response now means so much more bc he’s not just exasperated he’s like “you really are me with a braid”

how dare you hide this gem in the replies 😭

That’s actually the best analysis I’ve ever seen of Haymitch and Katniss’s relationship. Katniss is unaware of everything between them. At the beginning of the trilogy, she thinks Haymitch is a drunk who’s going to send her to her death.

How might things have been different if she’d known how they were connected? If she’d known that Haymitch had loved her parents, but pushed them away for their safety?

Katniss knew that Haymitch was a drunk to protect himself from what happened in the games. But she didn’t learn what happened to the victors until it was too late.

Haymitch put himself in shape because he had tributes willing to fight. I don’t doubt that was part of it, but how much was it that her resemblance to Louella was so strong? How much was it that she was Burdock’s daughter? How much was it that she was Asterid’s youngest daughter’s only remaining parent? How much was it that her habit of speaking when she shouldn’t reminded him too much of Lenore Dove?

And maybe worst of all? How much was it that, in her will to survive, she’d raised her odds astronomically— and both Haymitch and the ghost of Wyatt Callow knew that.

district twelve really said, “you want a show? we’ll give you a show.”

anyone else thinking about effie spending 24 years watching haymitch completely fall apart. effie, who met haymitch by accident, who knows exactly what kind of person he is, who sees him every year on his birthday for 24 years and each year he’s drunker, each year he’s angrier, each year he’s faster to give up. and then they get katniss and peeta. peeta, who is kind and open and understanding, who refuses to give up on haymitch. and katniss, who is so much like haymitch at 16 that it hurts. and over the few days they’re together, effie watches haymitch come back to life. watches him try. watches him have hope. and then they get to keep not one but both of those kids. they get to come home. and then, less then a year later, effie pulls haymitch’s name at the reaping.

katniss realized the berries were nightlock before peeta ate them.

sunrise on the reaping is just this onion headline over and over again:

In Mockingjay, Katniss’s squad was called squad 451. Like the book Fahrenheit 451°.

Plutarch Heaveansbee, the man who had a huge ass library, and libraries were considered RARE, named them after a book about censorship.

Plutarch is such an interesting character, the fact that he was trying to stop the games for at LEAST 25 years. And he was so devoted it makes you wonder why he even cared.

the way haymitch must have seen it as all his ghosts coming back to haunt him at once when katniss walked onto the train with the face of burdock and asterid, the pin of maysilee, the voice of lenore dove, and a background so devastatingly similar to his own. of course sweetheart slipped out. and of course he did everything he could to keep her alive

Suzanne Collin’s just said fuck you to everyone who’s ever critiqued the Hunger Games as being a “teen girl saves the day” story. She said oh, Mockingjay didn’t make it clear enough? Here’s a book about how people have been rebelling for decades only to have their efforts suppressed and propagandized. Rebellion takes time and it takes failure and Katniss may have been the spark that ignited the wildfire but she did so standing atop the doused flames of everyone who came before her.
