Madampizzadog - A Person Who Exists

my friend just told me that there's a secret second dashboard that solely contains posts from people you've turned on post notifications for, and when i click the link in the messages it opens it within the tumblr app, so the tumblr app also has a secret second dashboard for post notification blogs, and the only way to access it is to open the link for it within the app.

i literally love tumblr

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.

Now here me out I love this….

But personally this is my favorite <3

Katniss never really knew just how much of a menace she was to Snow.

In a new fucked up way, Snow probably once again believed he "owned" Lucy Gray, because he was the only person left that truly remembered her.

But then Katniss sang Lucy Gray's song in her meadow, turned it into a hymn of the second rebellion, and unknowingly freed her from Snow's grasp.

Lucy Gray plays a part in Snow's downfall, The Hanging Tree becomes immortalized in history.

She no longer dies with him.

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.

Frankenstein’s monster being called just “Frankenstein” is actually poetic justice on a meta scale. Oh, so you’re going to reject your son/creation for fear of God and his hideousness?? You won’t give him a name and only call him “Creature”?? Well everyone forever is going to only remember him by your family name.

How’s that feel Victor?

No but imagine having to go on a quest with the prince you are sworn to protect, the queen of a different court who has a crush on aforementioned prince and the prince likes her back, and a prisoner who happens to be your ex, and both of you still have feelings for each other but you were on opposite sides of a war. The awkward situations fictional characters get into istg.

Neil Perry: I’m so laid back, I only care about 3 things in the world

Neil: My friends and family

Neil: Every person on this earth and their opinion of me

Neil: The crushing psychological weight of being alive

Neil: Oh, and Todd Anderson. I fucking love Todd!

Charlie “Nuwanda” Dalton: That’s more than three, captain

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.
