I am ... I’m always wary when I go to sleep that I won’t wake up for another hundred years, but that’s just how it goes.

I have a lot of feelings about how if Rosamund had been found by the other princesses I think she would have probably come around to their nihilistic viewpoint eventually. But instead she found destiny's children and got to see the beauty in life despite fear and tragedy and uncertainty.

This is her family and they love her, thorns, scars, and all of her uncertainty. And she knows when she goes to sleep someone is sleeping next to her and watching her back.

“No, don’t let go of me,” he says. The firelight flickers off his blue eyes. “I might fall out of this thing.”

and it’s funny to see people say that prim’s death happened for “no reason.” because it’s almost like…… war of any kind inevitably causes the senseless death of thousands. and it doesn’t mean anything. yes, prim died for no reason, and that was the point.

coin only ever cared about power, it was thinly veiled as a pursuit for justice. she was fine with innocent children dying if it meant citizens would think the blood was all on snow’s hands. pair this with gale’s weapon, and the fact that prim happened to be on the front lines, and bam. innocent, senseless deaths.

that’s from an emotional standpoint, though. from a narrative standpoint, prim’s death actually DID make sense. just as rue’s death served as the catalyst that convinced katniss to die by nightlock (the act that began the rebellion), prim’s death was the catalyst that forced katniss to confront coin’s true colors. now, katniss knew that coin was really no different from snow. it all went in a circle. the rebellion started because of katniss’s love for prim, and the rebellion was won because of that same love.

and on a final note: prim’s death was foreshadowed by her name alone. a primrose is a flower that wilts shortly after blooming.

Guys! This is an interactive comic! Because you can feel a shard breaking your heart, just like Gerard!

[whenthewallfell]

Suzanne Collins straight up invented a whole marriage ceremony based around toasting bread on an open fire for your one true love just to then have THE BAKER'S SON LITERALLY BURN BREAD FOR THE GIRL ON FIRE

Absolute legend.

LEGEND.

forgot how absolutely wild this season immediately got

[glasschewer69]

This season had the best energy. Also when zac rolls a 19 and says “I rolled a 19 what the fuck is wrong with all of you” as Norman it’s just *chefs kiss*

Katniss when she thinks she’ll never see gale again: omg I guess me and peeta can just make out now 😳

Katniss when she thinks she’ll never see peeta again: I wish I was dead I have no reason to go on living

plight of the honeybee

[r0sebutch]

id: a black and white comic of gerard of greenleigh. text reads: “Then there’s “plight of the honeybee,”” as gerard stands, his fallen comrades cast in shadow behind him, facing the fairy godmother flying overhead. “plight, not flight,” as gerard falters, then moves ahead. “It’s like a stinger, you go out but you die at the end of it,” as gerard, white against a black background, reaches towards the glass shard in the screaming fairy godmother’s chest. “sort of a sacrificial move.” gerard is cast in shadow as he pulls the shard into his own chest, the fairy godmother exploding beside him and the background stark white. “The reason it is “plight of the bumblebee” is because it is their plight to die.”

[goldrushenthusiast]

do y’all think Coriolanus Snow supports gay rights because with a name like that I don’t think he has any choice but to.

reading The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and I'm half disturbed and half wishing I could shake the mentors by their shoulders and yell at them to get out of their own heads

training at District 12 that summer must've been fun

I'm like dude I know you're in love or whatever but uuuuh can you please tune down the possessiveness?

thinking about Coriolanus and Tigris both growing up during a war and struggling with poverty for the next ten years, and one of them becoming a control-obsessed and heartless dictator, and the other keeping a strong moral compass no matter what life threw at them

thinking about Coriolanus needing to state over and over that Lucy Gray WASN'T district to give the public a reason to care about her when it was completely not needed and continuing to tell himself this when he thought he was falling for her

I'm Not Bothered By The Notion That She Could Have Gone Into Prostitution To Avoid Starving, Says Guy Who Brought It Up In The First Place

[lill-mamacita]

I finished The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins and YO. Coriolanus Snow deserved the demise he received (74 mf years later...) by Katniss thee Mockingjay (his worst mf nightmare) and more!! This man was twisted -- truly like father like son! Such a great book overall; I can't wait for the movie to release later this year. I have such high hopes for it -- it better not disappoint because the book has me REELING right now!

Neverafter

[sommmee-deactivated20240225]

Annie: So how is motherhood treating you?

Katniss: Good. I didn't expect this much crying though

Annie: Don't worry that's normal for young children.

Katniss: The baby? I was talking about Peeta

Peeta, sobbing in the next room: I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
