there’s just something about reaper’s big scene that gets me every time. like this boy—this actual child—who has been forced to fight to the death and torn away from practically everything he knows, just for shits and giggles, he actually takes the time to throw the other tributes’ weapons away, never mind that he’d be fully exposed to the career pack while doing so, cleans them up as best as he can, and basically tries to make sure that they look like they’re just sleeping. and then him raging at the cameras? OH FUCK YES why wouldn’t he? he’s hungry and tired and cold and hurting all over and for what? this farce of a government?? the very people that swore to serve and protect them, all of them, but instead, it’s up to a teenage boy to give his fellow tributes the final rites they deserve?? and not just that. don’t even get me started on the fact that every single person in that room reacted to the flag being ripped down, but not the actual reason he had to do it in the first place. panem et circenses indeed.
