the difference between Haymitch and Katniss's narration is so funny. Haymitch would give us everyone's social security number if he knew them, while Katniss wouldn't even tell us her mom's name.
The flowers of The Hunger Games: dandelion, primrose, buttercup and katniss
Finnick s character is so sad, I saw someone talking about and they where so right, because finnick won his games by having lots and lots of sponsorships right? But sponsors know what happen to tributes after the games, so finnick only won his games because enough people wanted to prostitute him at 14. And now I add this, sponsors where very difficult to come that year for other tributes, so we can either assume that no one was sponsoring other tributes or that sponsorships where very expensive that year, if it was the latest, sponsors wanted to prostitute finnick so bad at the age of 14 they gave him one of the most if not the most expensive "gift" in hunger games history (plus plenty of other things) in a year that the price of sponsorships was all time high. The amount of money and desperation this people where putting on this 14 year old just because in the future they knew what was going to happen to him.
We talk so much about why finnick, Johanna, Katniss, mags, beete , wiress, were in the 75th arena, but cashmere and gloss were there for punishment too. I mean it's never stated that they volunteered and they even make statements about their discontent of being there, therefore I do not think neither of them volunteered. I think gloss is there to punish cashmere, a last goodbye from snow to her. Cashmere and gloss come from a career District, so the pool of victors was probably not small, so it would be a very insane coincidence that both siblings were ripped. And if we think about it in every possible scenario one of them would have to see the other die or at least know about the other's death and grieve it (this is if they didn't need to kill each other). And to me this was a punishment from snow, because either she knew to much and had to be dealt with or she refused snow of something and as punishment he sent her and her brother there to hunt her with the fact that would of them would have to die in other for the other to survive, and it wasn't even guaranteed that the surviving sibling being her or gloss would win because of the other tributes.
How I love having watched a 3h video on Riverdale, and coming out of it with knowledge form the Archieverse comics, and now seeing Veronica and Archie all the time in drawing templates, for example the "down boy" drawing trend, and know exactly where it comes from. (Me trying to gaslight myself into thinking that watching a 3h essay on a show I never even saw was useful)

Percy: Surprise me
I feel like we are losing the plot to katniss everdeen, I understand the state the word is in right now and that the people want someone to look up to, and katniss everdeen is a good character for that. But we can't forget that katniss everdeen never wanted to fight she wanted to survive and make sure the people that she loved survived with her. That's why she volunteered for prim, that's why she became the mockingjay, to make sure that peeta was safe in case the rebels found him, that they wouldn't kill him, that's why she did what she did with the nigthlock, not because she wanted to defy the capitol, but because she wanted to survive, and to make sure peeta survived with her. There is even a point in mocking jay where people are discussing what actions katniss made that touched them and made them like her. And none of those actions where made with the principle of defying the capitol or make people see her as a martyr of revolution, it was just katniss being herself and caring for others, it was just katniss showing raw emotions, like when she covered rue with flowers, she did that of course to show that rue wasn't just an other tribute she was a person that was cared for, loved, that didn't deserve the fate she got, to show that rue wasn't just an ally that she would quickly move on from, but a person she would truly remember forever, that rue wasn't just a tribute for the entertainment of the capitol but a real person. Yes in that case she did defy the capitol but not because she wanted to be a revolutionary but because she wanted to pay tribute to someone she cared for. When she drugged peeta to try and save him knowing fully well she might not come back, but that the wish of him surviving was big enough for her to do it. Katniss everdeen never wanted to be the simbol of revolution, she wanted to survive and to make sure the people she loved survived with her, and we know this for the very first page when she tried to drown buttercup, only stopping because of Prim, Katniss wants to survive, and she doesn't want her loved ones to suffer. Of course she is more layered then this but I think people keep forgetting this aspect of her pretty often.
There is a possibility that Annie volunteered for her games. I saw someone talk about this on tik tok and I thought it was interesting. Annie is from 4, a career District, so there is the possibility of her training her entire life, her volunteering, her going into the games, and her idea of glory quickly shattering once she saw her district colleague be horribly death. she went mad because that's a very traumatic thing to witness, but one thing that might have played into her madness was having this idea of glory being stripped away revealing the reality of the games. After seeing the games in such a romanticised way her entire life, just to realise how ruthless they actually are, destroying her perception of reality. (Since she would have trained her entire life for the games)
Imagine being Adam and your biggest enemy being a fucking 17 year old reki. Like how pathetic do you have to be have a beef with a fucking 17 year old, when you are in the right age of 26 ? Like bitch? Get a life, it would do you wonders (and stop hitting on children you fucking creep).
"what's your favorite horror story" i don't know possibly hazel levesque age 13/14 committing suicide by chosing to drown in oil and die in her abusive and explotive mother's arms to save the world just to then be shown how she could have found love and life a happy life despite having grown up poor and discriminated by all her peers and therefore be justly offered a blissful afterlife which she rejected purely to make her mom's one better
