The Show’s Not Over Until the Mockinjay Sings

a documentation of my life, a collection of my hyper-fixations and a combination of a rollercoaster through sorrow and peace

haymitch's games are great and all but the fact that we may see katniss's dad IN SOME WAY SHAPE OR FORM

THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN THE NOTES WHO DON’T KNOW THIS IS A FICTIONAL FOUNDATION AND THAT THIS TWEET IS SATIRE WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY TRAGIC IF IT WASN’T SO STUPIDLY FUNNY.

if i ever get rich and famous (ha) the first thing i'd try to do is make a hunger games show. native american actress for katniss. amputee actor for peeta. make donald sutherland play snow again. the first two books get an entire season and the last book gets two. and then another two seasons for ballad of songbirds and snakes. and after that i'd donate the majority of my money and never be seen again

Since we all have the time of Haymitch's games on our minds, I thought now would be a good time to bring up again my longstanding theory that Katniss's mother was disowned by her parents but not primarily (or even at all) because she married someone from the Seam. I think it's because she and Katniss's father were involved in rebellious activities.

Here are my clues:

She was Maysilee's friend. She got her canary after she died, inheriting the symbol of a warning in the form of a songbird.

Haymitch's victory frightened Show. If the Capitol's control was strong at the time, Haymitch's forcefield trick would have been just good tv. The fact that Snow came down so hard on Snow suggests there were threats of rebellion before Haymitch even went into the arena.

When Gale is whipped, Haymitch says they used to take people who got whipped to Katniss's mother. Specifically, he says, "She's the one we took them to," which seems to imply it was just her, not her whole family.

After treating Gale, she briefly speaks to Haymitch about "before." They understand each other so easily with just a few words despite us seeing hardly any interaction between them before. It feels like they have more of a shared history than what Katniss knows.

Speaking of what Katniss knows, she considers this interaction and wonders what they are talking about but decides she's too upset to ask right then. She never thinks about asking again, but the whole thing suggests that there is a lot more to the story of D12 in Haymitch and her parents' youth.

Katniss remembers her mom getting angry at her dad for teaching her "The Hanging Tree." Little Katniss had cried because her mom yelling was so out of the norm. Katniss assumes that her mom didn't like her little girl learning such a dark song, but we know better. Her dad sang a rebels' song, and her mom got scared of him teaching it to her daughter.

I think both of Katniss's parents were involved in rebellion to some degree when they were young. The Capitol came down hard on Haymitch and his whole district to snuff it out. It scared Katniss's maternal grandparents who maybe told her to cut ties with her Seam boy or else, or maybe they just cut her off for her own deeds irrespective of her romantic interest.

Catching Fire is a very funny book

Nobody deserves to fall asleep at night wondering why they weren't enough.

currently thinking about what what kind of brainwashing the Capitol must've done in order to turn the most rebellious districts (1 and 2) like we've seen in tbosas, into the capitol's lapdogs we see in the original trilogy.
