*Before the Third Quarter Quell, during the first co-conspirators Victors meeting*

Johanna: fine we'll keep the girl alive how hard can it be

Haymitch: oh honey you think I drink for fun?

Finnick: listen it's just one tribute and half of us are in on it we can do it

Haymitch: uh no actually you need to keep both my tributes alive

Chaff: Haymitch I get you want to protect the boy but this is about something bigger we need to focus on the Mockingjay

Haymitch: oh no you're not getting it. If Peeta dies Katniss will kill everyone in that Arena and then herself

Finnick: come on Haymitch we know the whole romance thing is just an act

Haymitch:

Haymitch: you know what I'mma just let you guys figure out this one

*Later, five minutes into the Games, the second Finnick resuscitates Peeta while Katniss loses her marbles*

Finnick, softly but with feeling: fuck

[gazpachoandbooks]

Sometimes I think about Finnick trying to befriend Katniss before the Quell and I lose my shit

The other rebels are like you need to subtly let her know you're on her side, so you go bet and turn your charm up to 11. Which would have maybe worked on anyone else but this is Katniss Everdeen we're talking about.

So now you're stuck doing increasingly ridiculous social gymnastics every time she's around and still by the time the night before the Games arrives the only thing she's convinced of about you is that you are going to try to fucking murder her

So you freak out, seek out Haymitch and basically go "hey what the fuck is wrong with your kid". And Haymitch just stares ahead for a second, nods, takes off his bracelet, says "wear this" and leaves. You fucking hate district 12

So you go okay. Breathing exercises. This is fine. Guess I'll have to save her life during the Games or sth maybe that'll do the trick. And when you see the Arena you cheer up for a sec bc you definitely have the advantage here she'll have to trust you right?

Wrong. She can fucking swim. SHE CAN FUCKING SWIM.

So now you're in the Cornucopia with no cards up your sleeve, no time left, and arguably the other deadliest tribute in that Arena pointing at you with a bow, and so you go "you know what, fuck it, I'm going to die anyways" and you show her the bracelet

AND IT FUCKING WORKS

Bear in mind Finnick had no first-hand experience on Katniss and Haymitch's bitch-to-bitch telepathy this was his first contact with it

Just saying lucky for the Rebellion this was Finnick and not me if I was in his place I would have killed her there and then just out of principle

[modernmusess]

katniss: everyone’s so focused on protecting peeta because they too know how pure hearted he is and believe that he—a boy they’ve never even met before—deserves to survive over them and their friends of literal decades

finnick, to literally everyone else: okay if peeta dies she’s gonna kill all of us and then herself, so hands in, protect bread boy on three-

[stealingpotatoes]

Random question but what's your opinion on Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark from the hunger games?

they make me start frothing at the mouth and punching drywall thanks for asking <3

[witchbugs]

big big fan of how katniss’s most explicit declarations of love for peeta are not her saying she loves him but recognizing it through other people:

“annie is to finnick what peeta is to me” -> “finnick loves annie” -> “i love peeta”

“haymitch is different from everyone else here; because he loves peeta; because he’s like me”

[liberalk1tsch]

just saw the sotr trailer thing and im obv very excited

HOWEVER

im way more irritated than i should be that the one guy drops his clearly bulky cape on the ground when theres supposed to be pressure based explosives around the pedestals that are sensitive enough that a girl dropping her token was enough to set it off one year

[sufferingbooknerd]

I’d like to thank Lionsgate for fully committing and making Drusilla FUGLY and clinging to her youth, Maysilee is going to eat her ALIVE with the comebacks

This younger/older casting is just elite

[rosegardeninwinter]

“closer examination of the rule book”

rule book? what rule book?

there’s only one rule

“only one winner may be allowed”

this isn’t just a twist for audience attention

this is the thesis

this is the crux, the precipice

Snow demanding his game’s holy principle hold

and these two smart, kind, lucky, extraordinary and ordinary kids

with so much love to spare

got to do what so many of the ghosts unknowingly trapped under their skin never got the chance to

you have to eat the poison yourself to keep your power, Snow knows this

except that he’s just found himself on the wrong side of the bargaining table

“no victor, no games”

“two victors, no games”

berry-sticky hands push their own pawns across the board

welcome back to the arena, Coryo

your move
