Hermes Had Better Have Claimed Luke By Saying, “Luke, I Am Your Father.”

Idk if this is just me, but does it seem like the Hunger Games movies left out most of the stuff about food in general?

Maybe I just noticed this because in my first read I was worried that all of them were cannibals, but like… in the movies it seems like they were never actually that hungry. Like, we know that Katniss and Gale have to hunt, and that Peeta gave Katniss the bread, but a lot of the details about just how hungry they were to get to those choices were just… gone. And when they’re in the Capitol on the Victory Tour, they mention the vomit-inducer but it was more of an offhand thing. What got me especially though is that in Mockingjay Pt. 2, their time with Tigris appears to be much shorter, but also… she doesn’t feed them! And from what I remember that was fairly significant in the books, especially considering the position they were in.

In the books, hunger was the driving force of the vast majority of decisions they made. Katniss literally spent a good chunk of her first games desperately searching for water—Haymitch rewarded their performances with food—Katniss described every single thing she eats and primarily characterizes new places based on their food (the Capitol and District 13 especially). TBOSAS supports this even further when you see how even people in the Capitol were starving in the aftermath of the war—that’s why sponsors were added to the game!

I just—the whole series is literally about starvation and what it means to be human, but the movies just focused on love and war.

Currently thinking about how the only four people from district 12 to win the hungergames did so by "cheating".

Lucy Gray's scent being given to the snakes.

Haymitch ducking the ax after he ran to thr cliffside.

Katniss and Peeta's double suicide threat with the berries.

The thing is, none of it is cheating. It's survival. Lucy Gray wasn't even really responsible for her "cheat". Haymitch was on the verge of death and unarmed, using the only weapon the arena had to offer that would work in his favor. Katniss and Peeta were promised a win together, they won by the Capitol's rules, but the Capitol, being the Capitol, changed the rules.

Actually no I’m so not done talking about how rigged the quell was. Because I’ve seen people referring to it as “hunger games all stars.” That was 1000% intentional. Not only is it these weirdly coincidental duos that are reaped together (even from districts with tons of victors). For instance, a brother and sister duo, and two different known couples- it’s ALSO people who won their own games by extraordinary means. It IS the all stars, anyone who poses the biggest threat to the capitol. To eliminate all but one would be to eliminate any threat of the capitol’s fall. All of them arguably have the most reason for rebellion as well- it was a truly genius move that probably would’ve worked if it weren’t for Plutarch’s plan.

The Onion’s journalism is the only journalism that matters. Holy fuck.

Malina is like Chaolena, in the sense that Mal was also afraid of Alina's powers and could never fully accept them and what they meant. He may have loved the orphan he grew up with, but he could never be with her when she had her powers because he was too afraid of them. And yeah, it turned out fine for him in the end since she lost her powers and all (which I still think is like why would you end the book like that, but that's not what I'm ranting about now), but the powers were a part of her, and as Dorian Havilliard once said, "You cannot pick and choose what parts of her to love."

“You’re worried.”

“Am I?”

“Mm. Uncertain.”

“Aren’t you?”

Sherlock’s eyes flutter open, piercing and pure in the train’s low light. “No.” He says it with such conviction John’s breath sticks in his throat, rushing out of him a moment later on a shuddering sigh.

Review: This story is completely sucking me in. So beautifully and sparely written. Lovely reading! I look forward to seeing how they come together.
