The Local Gay and Uninspired Writer (she/they)

(I’ve pasted only the non fight inducing part - let’s not give the haters what they want!)

Haymitch says in SotR that Effie is the only one who can stand to be around him so she wasn't trying to avoid him because she was disgusted by him. What was going on was Haymitch being so drunk that he forgot he wasn't supposed to show affection publicly and Effie trying to escape from him because all the eyes of Panem were on them at the moment. She had to make it look like she was repulsed or she could be in danger. In this their relationship parallels Katniss and Peeta's. Katniss has to convince Snow that she's in love with Peeta to save him and everyone else she loves. Haymitch and Effie have to convince everyone that they hate each other in order to protect themselves."

Dude has, at this point, one communication signal.

Fortunately for him, it is a very important communication signal, especially given what he's going through right now. It says, "This is, in some way, unsatisfactory." Unfortunately, it's not very specific and he doesn't understand much about how to deploy it.

You have to understand, the stomach ache that he has right now is the worst stomach ache in the universe, because as far as he's concerned, the universe is maybe a month old and there's been a limited number of stomach aches in it. Or, the loneliness and anguish he felt when he couldn't see you was the most terrifying isolation in the universe, akin to being adrift in the Boötes Void, for the very same reason. He does not have guidelines to cope with these things. He has barely accumulated enough of a dataset to start evaluating things like, "Most times, when people I know go away, they will reappear eventually," or, "that particular stomach ache will go away if I eat something." He doesn't even know which particular problems can be cured and which can't. He just knows that "technique: scream like fucking banshee" does have some sort of a success rate.

And it's his only move, you think he's not gonna spam it? Get real.

i think we misjudge the stage Haymitch was in on the epilogue as a direct impact in his relationship with Effie, because we usually assume they were in good terms by the end of mockingjay, and so Effie would be there waiting for him while he’s locked in his grief. but if i told you that one of his triggers was precisely that Effie Trinket was not willing to even talk to him?

I mean, in her perceptive of the facts, Haymitch destroyed her life. He and Plutarch plotted a damn rebellion behind her back, and things that leaded from there resulted in nine months of torture, a destroyed city, and possibly a very dead sister that she won’t ever forget about. Although she could see why he would do that and understand the motivation behind it, she wouldn’t forgive him for betraying her. During Haymitch’s epilogue, Effie’s probably going through the exact same process of breaking down, because she has all the reasons to lose her shit after all she’d been through, and she had enough guilty to result in a lifetime of misery an self inflicted pain…..

They were both not in a good place, and Effie would be in no stage of mind to run after him. It’s unfair to assume that she’s the altruistic soul who would never blame him for her suffering, because she would. Yes, she would still care about him, but knowing that, for the first time in twenty five years of her life, his well being was not her responsibility, Effie would allow herself to be unforgiving. She’d mental and physical injuries, she’d ptsd and possibly severe depression and a kind of grief she was not used to feeling… it gives her all the right to be bitter and angry…she would not be there willingly waiting for him to give her any crumbs of his love as he loose his mind over his dead girlfriend like a damn kicked puppy….

Their relationship after war HAS to be a mutual deal cause they both had reasons to be angry and bitter

but it must have stung for Madge to hear the jab from him about how she wouldn’t be reaped when her aunt had the exact same number of slips in that bowl

[thehungergamesconfessions]

i wonder if the speech of “Haymitch was happy in the end of sotr, he doesn’t need anything but his ghosts” would be the same if Katniss and Peeta didnt end up together, and all she had was the stage she was after prim’a death…she seemed so content with her life guys 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪 severe depression is such a goal.

“Haymitch doesn’t show any desire to have another relationship” yes, and Katniss didn’t want children. Didn’t want to get marriage. She wanted to die and be joined with her sister too. While in her depressed state, she didn’t want any of this, and then she healed and allowed herself to want things she didn’t think she needed, and she got happier. Haymitch is the one narrating, of course he is “content” with his stage of mind, he doesn’t have anything else. If the original trilogy had ended in the weeks Katniss was back in district Twelve, after war, when she could barely move and shower, and she had hinted she was content with it, that would be enough for you, guys?

i don’t think so.

I am not saying Haymitch HAS to have another love, but this “he doesn’t need it because he was HAPPY ENOUGH” is sickening. The Happy enough for you is fucking waiting his liver to fail while not leaving the house because he is too busy drinking himself sick to keep the hallucination of his dead TEENAGE girlfriend there? for fucking sake, i don’t want to see what is a miserable life for you

Me when I catch myself thinking "I wonder what it's like to be chosen by somebody" but then I remember my best friend chooses to be my best friend and my mutuals choose to follow me and the minimum wage employee chooses to give me sincere kindness that I remember years later because I was going through a hard time and it meant a lot

[silentflashoflightning]

with a white man being casted as burdock [katniss’ father] there’s been a wave of response to the side-by-side comparison of him and the actress who plays asterid [katniss’ mother] that boils down to ‘well the social conflict at the basis of their relationship has never really been about race as much as it’s been about class’ which is an interesting sentiment because, yes, the main complication for them was burdock being poor and from the seam, which you could on a surface level attribute to just a class difference, but how did it happen that SOMEhow those two different social classes have each a specific ‘look’ about them, with the lower class consisting of people with darker hair and darker skin than the people from the higher one, to the point that asterid and prim with their fair hair and white skin still look like outsiders even though one has been living in the seam for 16+ years and the other - her whole life. how do you explain that. do people actually, genuinely believe that all of the people who have some sort of capital, in the whole district, just coincidentally happened to be white[r]? that it was randomly pointed out in the text? is it easier to delude yourself than to admit that despite some of the fan-favourite being casted in this movie other casting choices are questionable and/or that those casting choices are being made to match with actors from thg movies?

No, but the thing is that even after Haymitch went through ALL of that, every moment of terror in his games, every terrifying mutt, every bloody, awful death, even after he watched for decades first hand as kids got killed in twisted ways, he was still going to go into the arena to save Peeta for the quarter quell.

He was in worse shape than Peeta, has arguably a better understanding of just how awful the Capitol’s horrors are, and could have easily just said “no way, whoever gets reaped gets reaped”, and instead he was truly 100% going to go back into the arena if he got the chance. He KNOWS Snow would love the opportunity to kill him painfully!!!!!!

I think it’s a huge testament to not only his love for Peeta, but also to his absolute bravery. This is a man who has lost everything due to the games, who is years past his prime and would probably be going through alcohol withdrawal while in the arena, and he was still willing to do it. Incredible.

[jen-derless]

Belinda in episode 1: Ewww, my ex was an incel who tried to force me into marriage to enforce traditional gender roles and hierarchy upon me. And don't you dare Doctor even to sonic-scan my body without my consent.

Belinda in episode 8: Radcon force-wished me into a marriage and a daughter upon me without consent or respect for my bodily autonomy. Doctor, please rewrite time so that she was my daughter all along by a father none of us ever heard of before. That's totally fine.

[partywithponies]

The whole finale and the Poppy storyline would've been so so much better if she was Ruby's. Like sure, Ruby's a little young for motherhood, but Ruby's whole story arc is about babies! We first meet her trying to save a baby she just met! She loved the original Space Babies!Poppy! And, most glaringly, The Doctor and Ruby got called Mummy and Daddy by that Poppy, and The Doctor literally said "I wish we were".

And, if Ruby was in Belinda's role in that two parter, Mel, the one companion who canonically has a photographic memory, could be the one person who remembers things no-one else does? Which would both make more sense and wouldn't involve hiring Bonnie Langford just to have her do absolutely nothing??

What on earth went wrong behind the scenes. And why did Belinda have to take the brunt of it.
