my favorite prefix in german is "er-", meaning "to death" <3
trinken -> to drink | ertrinken -> to drown
schießen -> to shoot | erschießen -> to shoot to death
würgen -> to choke | erwürgen -> to choke someone to death
stechen -> to sting | erstechen -> to stab to death
etc etc :]
*stechen -> to stab (as well, not just sting)
schlagen -> to hit | erschlagen -> slay (also: overwhelm)
drücken -> to press | erdrücken -> to crush
etc.
Completive transitive "er-" my beloved! It has a less productive counterpart in non-lethal transitive "an-".
anschießen -> to shoot non-fatally
anfahren -> to hit (but not run over) with a vehicle
hängen -> to hang | erhängen -> to hang until dead
frieren -> to feel cold, to freeze | erfrieren -> to freeze to death
zählen -> to count | erzählen -> to count until dead
klimmen -> to climb | erklimmen -> to climb until dead
warten -> to wait | erwarten -> to wait until dead
fahren -> to drive | erfahren -> to drive someone dead
finden -> to find | erfinden -> what I just did here

the thing about the hunger games is prim was always meant to die. She should’ve starved to death, but Katniss intervened. She should’ve been killed in the arena, but Katniss intervened. She should’ve died in the district 12 bombing, but Gale intervened. She should’ve died in the district 13 bombing, but Gale intervened. Then the circle closes when Katniss is too slow, too helpless to do anything against the bombs in the Capitol. Prim dies like she was always meant to. There's nothing Katniss can do.
Suzanne really said with sotr that-
by the way Haymitch has a really great memory!! like a really great memory!! like he remembers 49 other tributes names with ease! isn’t that a wonderful aspect to add to this deeply traumatised character who has watched two children (alongside 22 others) die every single year for 23 years in the same circumstances that he was put in at 16 years old?! he remembers everything! like, everything!
Lucy Gray / Lenore Dove / Katniss
Big fan of characters who “kill” their younger selves. Characters who resent the past version of themselves for letting them get hurt, who look at that kid and feel revolted by the foreignness of it. Characters who feel they have to cut the child out of them like a tumor because it’s hurting them too much and if I don’t kill you you’ll kill me. Nearly nothing remaining of that past self but for the little connections and mannerisms they can’t kick, and when it shines through, it’s a terrible, tragic thing, because the child is still in there. It’s in there and it’s grotesque in its suffocation. But it’s there.
also I love that suzanne wrote katniss and haymitch in first person pov but with coryo she was like “third person for you… you get some distance, creep.”
coriolanus snow projecting his insecurities about covey girls onto 15yo haymitch abernathy will never not be funny to me
can’t believe Suzanne Collins had Wyatt Callow, who knew the odds of all the tributes’ deaths better than his own name, die protecting Lou Lou, who he statistically knew wouldn’t make it anyway. had Louella McCoy, who was immediately ready to try and stick it to the capital any way she could in the games, die before she even reached the arena. had Maysilee Donner, who constantly talked back, who wanted to die with her head up, who didn’t want to be treated like an animal by the capital, die mangled on the ground after having her vocal chords ripped out by a capital-manufactured bird. had Haymitch Abernathy, who from the moment he learned of Beetee’s plan, knew he was ready and willing to give up his life so that his friends and family could live, be forced to live without them, knowing all he did in the arena was for nothing. that everyone died anyway. sick and twisted.
haymitch: love is love <3
clerk carmine: yeah, but not your love. get AWAY from my niece.
shout out to suzanne collins for, in the middle of Everything Else she was doing in sotr, dropping a paragraph that’s just “btw fuck ai”
haymitch says himself katniss is like him, but luckier.
katniss realized the berries were nightlock before peeta ate them.

So we all know the 75th Quell wasn’t just for Katniss now, right??
It was - get rid of Finnick, people tell him too much and like him too much
It was - get rid of Mags (she’ll volunteer to save anyone), she’s always been too much of a rebel and cares more about the tributes than the games (i.e. hiding Finnick from cameras)
It was - get rid of Beetee, we’re finally done with him (I want to know why he’s suddenly disposable though). But let’s make it as awful as possible and remind him every day what his son was feeling in his own last days
It was - get rid of Wiress (and also show the world what she’s become) because she never should have won (and we’ll show people what happens when you think you’re smarter than the Capitol)
It was - get rid of Johanna Mason, we killed everyone she loved and it didn’t break her enough so now we can’t control her
And of course, it was - get rid of those rebels from 12
But it wasn’t just punishment for Katniss. She had no idea how influential and volatile of a group they were.
Honestly, I feel like the 3rd Quell might have actually worked if the Capitol hadn’t decided to just send all the most rebellious and threatening victors into them. You can’t put 10+ people who rebelled in their own games back into an arena (and this time they’re all together) and expect it to go well for you???
peeta tried to save him and katniss by saying she had a baby, because he knew that would pull at the capitals heart strings. In a dystopian society, peeta mellark knew the capital would care more about a fetus than the real dying children . this sounds oddly familiar
