Finnick Odair & Annie Cresta - The Hunger Games

“Did you love Annie right away, Finnick?" I ask. "No." A long time passes before he adds, "She crept up on me.”

“Nothing you can take from me was ever worth keeping.”

So I think I've come up with a theory as to what happens to Tigris and Snow.

So in mockingjay she was fired for being too Altered by Snow. This happened after the 66th Hunger Games (I believe). 2 years after Finnick won. I have a feeling she might have been his stylist. Now we know from Mockingjay that Finnick was forced into sex work/escorting by the Capitol once he turned 16. This coincides with when Tigris was fired.

Now we know from Ballad, Tigris herself had to do sex work to survive and get by. This is something Snow found unpleasant to think about, maybe once Tigris learned what was to be forced upon Finnick she called Snow out.

Snow probably wouldn't kill her though, I think family will always remain alive no matter how wayward he thinks they've gone. So he fired her from the games under the guise of not being pretty enough when the real reason was he did not want her interfering with the plans of Finnick, this would be a Capitol move to use something else as the reason, rather than create a martyr from the truth.

I think it would be interesting for Tigris and Snow to have actually been life long companions but that it was only seeing the treatment of Finnick that snapped her out of the trance of Snow. She always showed signs of being more empathic than Snow, but her experience being forced on a child pretty much was the last straw for her.

It could make for an interesting Sequel that would give us further history on Panem as she is old enough to probably have learnt a lot more about the history of Panem from Snow and the development of the games to where we saw Katniss. As well as giving us a favourite Character in the process, rather than a few months in the book like Ballas, a sequel like this could be set over a few years. As Finnicks game isn't exactly needed in full detail since we know plenty from the books already.

Are you, are you, coming to the tree?

They strung up a man, they say who murdered three.

Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be.

If we met at midnight in the hanging tree.

I dunno why I thought it would be a good idea to draw Lucy Grey Baird at 2 AM, but… here it is, I guess…

I would give my life for Lucy Gray and her rainbow dress

[hockeysweetheart]

She Could Fly around District 12 all she liked, But She and her Mockingjay’s Could Never Harm Him Again . The Ballad Of Songbirds and Snakes.. 

Dang Katniss’s being the Mockingjay.. And Singing the Hanging Tree ( In Mockingjay No Less)… Must of Been a real slap in President Snows Face..  and Katniss’s Mockingjay Being a Simble all a long…. its like dang… Lucy Grace comes back to Haunt him….  Now this has way more meaning… Now everything is placed together. I often wondered why Snow Didn’t like Katniss’s Mockingjay

It all makes sense now

[mega-ringsandthings-world]

Do you think Snow’s experiences as a mentor and time he spent with Lucy Gray influenced every alteration he made to the Games? Lucy was always conscious of her appearance, so he had stylist teams made for the tributes? Her iconic rainbow dress perhaps paved the way towards each child having a costume to represent their district? The extravagant funeral procession for Arachne and the Ring twins inspired the tribute parade? Not being able to know where Lucy was in the arena or find Lucy in the woods led to the trackers being put in each tribute? The maltreatment of the tributes he witnessed led them being given luxurious living quarters and food? The cattle train he saw the first tributes being brought in by he transformed into a high-tech bullet train? The way the tributes were oogled in the zoo led to them being hidden away in the Training Center until the interviews? The compact he gave Lucy gave him the idea for district tokens? And on and on. He must have been influenced heavily, there’s just too many things linking his experience and the current Games together.
