I cannot overstate how excited we all are to return to this game. We know that there’s been a lot of curiousity surrounding our return, but know that far beyond any outside pressures, we’re coming back because we want to. This game is just– it’s such a huge part of our hearts and souls and being away for all these months have only really further highlighted just how badly we need this in our lives. It’s ingrained in who we are as people and we have deeply missed this story and sharing it with all of you.

This is a beautiful graphic but it doesn’t explain the pros and cons of each fire type.

The Swedish torch is good for an efficient and contained fire, it’s controlled and good for cooking over and produces less light and heat than other fires. It can be difficult to keep going once you burn through the original log

The teepee is your traditional campfire. Good for heat and light not great for cooking, burns through fuel fairly quickly

The star fire is one of the slowest burning and not well protected but provides an even heat good for slow cooking and is excellent if you have limited fuel and need the protection a fire can provide

The lean to is a compact and efficient fire that evolves into a dense and hot bed of coals. The structure creates a good source of air flow which can help damp wood burn. A slightly better cooking fire that isn’t as bright. It also provides protection from wind on one side

The platform fire is incredibly hot and will create a very thick bed of coals but it doesn’t have a lot of air flow and is a little harder to get started.

The log cabin is big and bright and has lots of air flow which again is good for damp logs. You can also use this structure to start a smaller fire in the middle while drying out bigger logs. This fire will crumble into a messier bed of coals that don’t produce particularly even heat for cooking.

The modified leanto is excellent if you need it to perform multiple functions. The side with more fuel will burn bright and hot and the side with less fuel will burn less hot but more evenly and controlled, this gives you different cooking options.

hot take: katniss is a revolutionary female hero because she's not really a hero. she fights for people, not for a greater good, and she's willing to do awful things for her family, including killing innocents. she believes in a revolution because she wants freedom, not because "it's the right thing to do." she's not a quirky female hero who always knows what to say. she's awkward and self-depricating and blunt and not likeable, which is implicitly stated in the books and movies. she's not comfortable in feminine clothes, she hunts, she's scared and social uncomfortable in a way that makes others uncomfortable. she's volitile in a way that's very different than the normal quirky female lead, she's not some manic bipolar idea, she's a real person with genuine issues. she's harsh and sharp and cruel and mean and she's not perfect. she's not even very likeable. she doesn't speak much to others and when she does, it's mostly angry or cutting. but she's astounding and breathtakingly tragic while being real and raw and absolutely human.

additional hot take: peeta is a revolutionary male lead because he's a baker. he's a homemaker, essentially. katniss is a hunter and he is a baker. they are the exact opposite of their steryotypical gender roles. she is the deadly one, not him. she is the angry one, not him. where she pushes, he bends. where she screams, he sings. where she runs, he hides.

peeta is soft and kind and good and willing to die so he won't hurt others. he comforts katniss when she needs it, even when she isn't that nice to him. he loves her from afar, quietly and not creepily. he isn't angry. he barely uses any violence in the first book/movie. he's the injured one, not her. he isn't the muscular manly stereotype of a male lead, especially in such a violence driven world. he isn't like four from divergent. he isn't cold and harsh and mysterous. he's sweet and open and soft, he's kind and compassionate.

he's a baker in a world full of hunters.
