This is not a unique take, especially for a book that’s seventeen years old, but it would’ve been so easy for Suzanne Collins to have Katniss be the one who gets reaped for the 74th Hunger Games.

Everyone was expecting it. You still have the story of her going to the Games.

But it would remove something so vital to Katniss’ character. Having Prim be the one reaped and Katniss, who feels she would only be going there to die, volunteer for her is absolutely genius.

The Reaping itself isn’t what sets the tone of the story. The Hunger Games themselves don’t set it either. What sets the tone is that Katniss heard her little sister’s name announced and both literally and figuratively threw herself in the line of fire to protect her.

Suzanne Collins didn’t have to write it that way to make the story compelling, but in doing so she made something unforgettable.

finally did tighnari’s quest and i genuinely nearly fully cried over the fucking mechanical crab.

the thought of a ‘e-girl sam manson’ crossed my mind and i literally slapped my own face as some sort of knee-jerk reaction to an awful thought.

Of course Mark S. chose Helly. But more than that, he chose all the innies. He chose himself. He chose to live. For however long he has, he’s choosing to embrace his own agency.

Mark Scout would choose Gemma. But Mark S. doesn’t have that allegiance. He did what he said he would and he got her out, because no one should be a prisoner. Mark S. knows that.

It was heartbreaking to watch Gemma calling for Mark through the door, but that wasn’t her husband. While watching this show I’ve tried to maintain the belief that innies and outies are the same people, but are we not shaped by our experiences? Can you blame Mark S. for fighting for the only life he’s ever known?
