Annie Cresta | 70th Hunger Games 🌊

“Annie’s the one who went mad when her district partner got beheaded. Ran off by herself and hid. But an earthquake broke a dam and most of the arena got flooded. She won because she was the best swimmer.” — Catching Fire Ch. 24

My character design for book accurate Annie. In the book series she is described having “brown flowing hair” and “sea green” eyes (Catching Fire Ch. 14, Mockingjay Ch. 12)

After reading SOTR I definitely think there’s more to her games than what we heard about in the original trilogy.

Some dude once told me that “Finnick Odair is a great character because of how he grows as a person throughout the series” and I just- THATS SO WRONG. Sorry. Finnicks morals do not change from when we meet him to the end. Our perception of him is what changes. He was NEVER this playboy, lover of the capital that Katniss and therefore we are introduced to him as. That is the role he was forced to play. That is how he ensured the safety of his girl, his mentor and his family. His preformance was survival. I love Finnick so much this will not be my last post about him.

Covey Name Ideas

As promised here is my list of Covey-inspired names.

I tried to follow the typical naming convention of the first part of the name being a traditional folk poem or ballad, but I did add some names that differed from the typical names, and still fit the covey vibes. Suggestions appreciated :)

I also posted a list of shades of colors in case some people needed it!

Happy reaping day, decided to celebrate by drawing some TBOSAS characters, more so the 10th Hunger Games tributes….miss drawing them

[blogmix25]

And if i said SOME people's refusal to even entertain the idea of Annie being a career is a perfect example in fiction of people wanting a "perfect victim" and not understanding what nuance is.

[youcantseeus-fan]

The reason for the scene where Maysilee and Maritte kill the Gamemakers besides setting up Maysilee’s death is that it clarifies the position of District 4.

There has been a lot of debate in the fandom concerning the degree to which District 4 is a Career district, right? Well, what this book is suggesting is that yes, District 4 is a Career district. But the people at the other extreme end of the argument who were insisting that there were absolutely no differences between Four and the other two Career districts were also wrong. District 4 is a Career district. But while Districts 1 and 2 are Career districts that are also largely loyal to the Capitol, this isn’t the case for District 4.

Maritte is willing to team up with One and Two to hunt down the other tributes. She’s literally chasing down Haymitch and Maysilee in the earlier part of this scene. But when the group encounters some Gamemakers inside the arena then things change very quickly. And Maritte doesn’t even need any convincing. In a snap, in an instant, she puts her trident through a Gamemaker. Because Maritte knows who the real enemy is.

The contrast with Silka, who is from District 1, is striking. Silka isn’t even portrayed as a monster and is given a bit more depth than a lot of the Careers in the series. But Silka’s response to Maritte killing a Gamemaker is a stunned: “What’d you do? Did you kill Gamemakers? They’ll never let us win now!” Silka is focused on winning. Silka is as traumatized by the Games as anyone (she cries under the tree), but she cannot conceive of rebellion. Before she fights Haymitch at the very end of the Games she says: “I will be the one to honor the Capitol.” I think these are her last words. I don’t think that you have to believe that Silka even likes the Capitol deep in her heart, but for whatever reason she isn’t willing to defy them.

There are actually several references scattered throughout the series to Districts 1 and 2 being close to the Capitol while District 4 is more rebellious. But this scene with Maritte killing the Gamemaker puts it in really sharp relief. Maysilee scolds Haymitch for not being quicker to attack the Gamemakers because Haymitch and not District 4 is meant to be her ally. She scolds him because his inaction allows District 4 to very briefly ally with District 12. Meaning that for about thirty seconds, District 12 and District 4 were in alliance in the Second Quarter Quell. Just as they will be in alliance in the Third Quarter Quell. In alliance against the Gamemakers. In alliance against the Hunger Games. In alliance against the Capitol.

District 4 is the Career district that is also a rebel district.

How many of the mentors do you think got called mom/dad the night before the games? These kids so panicked begging and pleading with their ‘parents’ to help them, but theyre at home, they cant save them. How many of the victors had kids and would see their own children in the tributes?
