i read this really insightful post by @thesmileykate and it made me realize how sunrise on the reaping adds a whole new layer to snow’s “convince me.” katniss easily “convinced” the majority of panem and all of the capitol of her love for peeta in the 74th games. but not snow, because he thinks all covey women are deceiving to their lovers. he thought there was no possible way katniss truly loved peeta. he wanted to believe all of her choices were for her own self-preservation. but when he saw katniss’s reaction to peeta’s heart stopping in the quarter quell his belief about covey women was proven incorrect. and once peeta was captured he knew he couldn’t take away katniss’s love for peeta, but he could take away peeta’s love for katniss.

Garrett hates my singing but it's okay because he loves me. Yeah, I do. I love you, Wellsy.

[clary-jace]

I gotta tell you something. The other night at the Eastwood game, I was...struggling. And then, I heard someone singing. Elton John. I followed your voice through the tunnels. I saw you in the green room. Saying it out loud, I realize that sounds creepy, but...you were so, like, genuine, you know? Free. You centered me.

You've seen Dirty Dancing. It was my mom's favorite movie.

people calling peeta “effie’s son” feels like peeta character assassination

the hunger games | catching fire | mockingjay

⋆˙⟡ katniss returns to district 12

what should be over burrowed under my skin in heart-stopping waves of hurt

⋆˙⟡ katniss and peeta grow back together

and the moment that you wander far from me i wanna feel you in my arms again

⋆˙⟡ you love me, real or not real?

you make the world look beautiful. i thought i’d seen it all before, but looking through your eyes, it looks like paradise

⋆˙⟡ the end :)

Everlark’s Story in Song ⋆˙⟡ (mockingjay)

the hunger games | catching fire | growing back together

⋆˙⟡ start of mockingjay

my god, i’m so lonely

⋆˙⟡ missing peeta hours

what if the way you hold me is actually what’s holy?

⋆˙⟡ a cool kiss from the giver himself

it’s just that i fell in love with a war. nobody told me it ended and it left a pearl in my head and i roll it around every night just to watch it glow. every night, baby, that’s where i go

⋆˙⟡ missing peeta hours pt 2

losing him was blue, like i’d never known. missing him was dark grey, all alone. forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met. but loving him was red

⋆˙⟡ peeta is rescued from the capitol

you feel so low you can’t feel nothing at all and you flashback to when he said forever and always

⋆˙⟡ katniss and peeta talk for the first time since his hijacking

he said he’d love me for all time. but that time was quite short, breaking down, i hit the floor. all the pieces of me shattered as the crowd was chanting ‘more’

⋆˙⟡ katniss trains to fight in the capitol

now i’m down bad crying at the gym. everything comes out teenage petulance. ‘fuck it if i can’t have him. i might just die, it would make no difference’

⋆˙⟡ lunch scene

now i’m standing alone in a crowded room and we’re not speaking. and i’m dying to know if it’s killing you like it’s killing me? i don’t know what to say since a twist of fate, when it all broke down. and the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now

⋆˙⟡ peeta joins the star squad

even on my worst day, did i deserve, babe, all the hell you gave me? ‘cause i loved you, i swear i loved you ‘til my dying day

⋆˙⟡ prim dies, assassination, and trial

i used to float, now i just fall down. i used to know, but i’m not sure now what i was made for

⋆˙⟡ growing back together

Everlark’s Story in Song ⋆˙⟡ (catching fire)

the hunger games | mockingjay | growing back together

⋆˙⟡ start of catching fire

every good thing has turned into something i dread

⋆˙⟡ start of the victory tour/katniss and peeta make up

i’ve been having a hard time adjusting. i had the shiniest wheels now they’re rusting. i didn’t know if you’d care if i came back. i have a lot of regrets about that

⋆˙⟡ nights on the train

i can’t decide if it’s a choice getting swept away. i hear the sound of my own voice asking you to stay.

⋆˙⟡ whipping, katniss is injured, plant book

but at your best, you are love. you’re a positive motivating force within my life

⋆˙⟡ training for the quarter quell

he used to be literally obsessed with me, i’m suddenly the least sought after girl in the land

⋆˙⟡ return to the capitol

your voice, in the night. sing me to sleep, soothe this insomnia. haunted dreams, stages of grief

⋆˙⟡ quarter quell begins

all these people think love’s for show, but i would die for you in secret

⋆˙⟡ quarter quell/end of book two

my hand was the one you reached for all throughout the great war

⋆˙⟡ mockingjay

Everlark’s Story in Song ⋆˙⟡ (the hunger games)

i wanted to make a last minute contribution to everlark week 2026 and decided to revive a playlist i made a couple years ago of everlark’s story! i’ve added some context markers to follow along the way. enjoy!

catching fire | mockingjay | growing back together

⋆˙⟡ katniss’s childhood

but i, i was high in the sky with pennsylvania under me

⋆˙⟡ burdock is killed in the mine

mom, am i still young? can i dream for a few months more?

⋆˙⟡ katniss and peeta’s feelings for each other pre-games

on the day that you were born, the angels got together and decided to create a dream come true. so they sprinkled moondust in your hair of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue

⋆˙⟡ katniss in the 74th games

i’ve been the archer, i’ve been the prey

⋆˙⟡ katniss finds peeta & cave scenes

only 20 minutes to sleep but you dream of some epiphany. just one single glimpse of relief to make some sense of what you’ve seen

⋆˙⟡ end of book one

and up until now, i had sworn to myself that i’m content with loneliness because none of it was ever worth the risk

i know you’re leaving in the morning when you wake up. leave me with some kind of proof it’s not a dream

⋆˙⟡ catching fire

Miss Everdeen

[tiffyrina]

a beautiful young black girl becomes martyred/a sacrificial lamb for the cause of canon. her death will not save her from the hatred of her race. her canonical appearance — a darker skinned, youthful rural teen is erased from reader's view of how she will go out. they think her white and pristine — they believe that she is the crux of man's innocence, the ivory that has been held up as sacred for years and years.

and then she is bought to life on screen. lighter than she should be, but overwhelmingly black. and again, her death does not save her from her race. people retract their pity of this young girl: they see nothing sacred. she is barely worthy of a statistic. she cannot be held as reverential when she is too dark to fit the bill, too dark, therefore, uninnocent and unpure. dreams of whiteness shatter at the possibility of a black girl falling in place for a native girl, now turned white — to mourn. she is a subspecies where this new white protagonist is high above it. in every iteration, this girl will mourn her anyway.

and the statement that stands past that is whiteness will protect you from all. if primrose, a equally youthful but white-passing melungeon girl had the exact same complexion as her darker sister, would there still be mourning room? if pale skin and blue eyes and blonde hair transformed into dark hair, grey eyes and olive skin, would her death be as impactful as? would her whitewashing be pushed also in order to maintain the sanctity of her death?

amandla steinberg was not white enough for viewers in 2012 despite being a light-skinned black girl. how worse would it have been, if rue was truly depicted as any darker? how corrupt would viewer opinion be? will there ever be room where people of colour are seen and understood as victims, much more than their white counterparts, who oppress them into those roles?
