Malec Scenes With Pages From The Books

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.

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?

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.

No but I hot chocolate fudging HATE when I'm upset with my marks in some exam and then someone else is like, "Oh my gods that's not bad I got * insert even trashier score here*!" and then I have to assure them that their marks are good (even tho I probs do not think they are good) when all I want to do is dig a hole, crawl into it and eat ice cream in there until I die.

The Onion pulling zero fucking punches.
