after the war, there is a conscious effort to reframe language around the Hunger Games - namely, not referring to people as victors who won, but survivors of the Hunger Games. they are listed on memorials with no asterisk or anything by their names that would set them apart from the other children that were reaped.
and this is all fine and good - until Haymitch absently references something from the year he 'won' and someone comes out of the woodwork to correct him that it's actually 'survived,' you know.
I thought about what if she wasn’t fired because of her disability but because she already was a visitor and seemed strange . We don’t know who actually tells the truth and who doesn’t. But still she’s a cutiepie no matter what she is
i love making friends in fandom, i love playing with our toys together, i love coming up with increasingly niche aus, i love lifting strangers up, i love motivating people to create, i love watching someone get excited over an idea and immediately running with it, i love yelling in tags together, i love seeing someone gain confidence in their writing/art because people were kind to them <33
new hunger games book that takes place during the dark days and features the agonizingly painful homoerotic friendship and subsequent falling out of crassus snow and casca highbottom or no new hunger games book
why did they have a reputation at the nightclub—while not explicitly stated to be a gay club—that was owned by a gay man and his partner?
something I think a lot of people forget when talking about snowjanus’s dynamic is the fact that they genuinely get along. When I finally read the book, I was surprised to see how well they bounce off of each other. And Sejanus is constantly making Coriolanus laugh and smile!!!
Even when they’re in the arena, they’re still laughing at their silly little joke 😭
Mind you they’re literally in a death trap? They quite literally could die right there and they still got time to laugh and tease each other. That’s chemistry, baby!
Also these interactions from when they’re still in the Capitol…alright.
“And he was about to return it” they’re just two silly boy friends.
And Sejanus is such a tease when it comes to Coriolanus:
like yes they’re toxic and tragic and unhealthy but they were also just two boys who used to smile and laugh and tease each other. Not everything about them is as bleak as a lot of people make it up to be.
the sad thing is: I really did like sotr when it came out and when I first read it. fandom excitement is contagious, and it was about my favorite character, what wasn’t to like?
then as more and more of the cast members were revealed, I was reminded of how whitewashed and, I’ll say it, bad these movies are, so I got less excited and just tried to ignore it
when I saw some of the critiques that people were making, I read through them and started to like the book less, which is unfortunate because I was excited for this book and movie. I wanted to like it!! I really don’t want to sound like a hater or bring down anyone’s fun, so I try not to post anything, but man it makes me sad
