being an adult is so fun bc i can get high and reread hunger games and feel 13 again (in a good way)
although katniss is our protagonist and main character i think there's actually a much more fitting throughline when it comes to the presence of covey girls and their acts of rebellion.
lucy gray
lenore dove
primrose
i don't often see prim mentioned when it comes to covey lineage (most likely because her character is so aligned with their merchant mother in the original trilogy) but all three of these girls actively haunt the narrative.
lucy gray is the ghost whose songs of resistance endure in district 12 long after her name is forgotten. lenore dove paints her posters across the district and its haymitch's promise to her that forces him to keep going, keep fighting back until someone 'just like him but luckier' comes along to do what he couldn't. primrose is reason that katniss volunteers, she inspires a love so great that it defies the odds and brings her sister home.
they all have an immense strength but also an inherent gentleness - their love of animals whether this is lucy gray's snakes or lenore dove's geese or prim's refusal to hunt animals (not to mention lady and buttercup) - they are all drawn to creatures that are not widely seen as valuable or lovable.
they share a deep sense of optimism, each believe in the power of hope to transform one's circumstances. they each believe that a better world is not only possible but they are willing to take action to make it so. lucy gray uses her songs and performances, lenore dove engages in acts of sabotage and vandalises property. prim learns how to heal and chooses to enter a warzone in order to help people - in a world governed by violence, prim is first and foremost a healer.
and ultimately they are all taken from those who love them - they are girls frozen in time, forever filled with colour and light. three generations of covey girls, each doomed by their connection to the games.
I remember reading thg for the first time as a kid and thinking how exciting the book was. How Effie was so quirky and funny. How Cinna was so cool. How her stylists were such kooks. How Flickerman was just there to help her feel better. I even remember thinking “omg this isn’t so bad, is it? They’re just quirky people with money”.
Cut to reading its prequels, to rewatching the movies, to rereading the books over a decade later and all I can associate it with is to the kind of books George Orwell wrote. Books about government, power, propaganda and lies. Books about keeping people submissive and scared until they just get used to that way of life. Until they accept it and think it can’t be any other way…
Plus, the prequels are such a stark realisation that Katniss was surrounded by the best versions of what was to offer. No Drusilla insulting her but a caring, albeit naive, Effie. No Magno who couldn’t care less about how the tributes were perceived but the all-out Cinna to make sure they were recognised as a threat. Even Flickerman has gotten much subtler and smoother by the time Katniss sits in front of him. If we didn’t have the prequels, we genuinely wouldn’t even know any of this which goes to say a lot about people existing in the trilogy as well.
i am going to shout this from the rooftops:
Katniss, Haymitch, and the Seam inhabitants are all described as olive-skinned, brown-eyed, and dark-haired.
Peeta, Maysilee, Katniss’ mother and the Merchants are largely described as blond haired, blue eyed, light-skinned.
The Hunger Games adaptations have a huge weakness to their casting because they allowed their white audience to overlook this very important fact, that the Mockingjay is a brown girl, that her mother was disowned for having a mixed-race and mixed-class marriage, that Katniss and Haymitch were long shots not just because they’re Seam but because they are brown… because the only brown characters in the movies (i.e. Rue, Thresh, 11 in general) were there to be tragic, not to be saviors.
Katniss Everdeen is brown, and I won’t forgive or forget the movies for erasing that part of her character.

Reminder for when he “saves” it. He was the one who wanted this, and now he gets to be the hero and win favour with young constituents. Don’t give him the credit for fixing his own problem.
