The Beef Between Haymitch And Snow Is So Funny. The Way Haymitch Drank An Entire Pitcher Of Milk Just

in 2025 let’s bring back being enthusiastic on ao3. leave a comment on every chapter. leave kudos and, if necessary, leave “double kudos” in the comments. tags and notes on bookmarks. the whole nine yards. let’s show fanfic authors how much we love them.

I’m really normal about him already.

when someone mentions that my screen rotation is locked and i have to pretend it isnt to read fanfic

actually i love the reveal that the only reason effie got involved with the hunger games at all was because her little sister needed her.

i wonder if bucky ever thought of steve and saw the enhanced him. if he ever tried so hard to think of his best friend from brooklyn, but found that HYDRA had messed with his memories so bad that that kid was only a blur. if, years later, the only time he could remember pre-serum steve was from pictures released to the public, and in very few of those was the real steve. the stubborn steve who would smile and laugh. and when bucky is nearing the end of his own life, which version of steve will he imagine, if he even has a choice?

y'all Northern folks found out a very simplified version of "bless your heart" and then stomped like... everything else into the ground. honestly i get very tired of people's assumptions about the south. most of it is rooted in classism and ignorance that just gets annoying really quick. every time i have to sit through "haha southern accent funny" in media (different when it's with friends and we're riffing with each other) i feel another part of me die

i love the theory that finnick was a career. he wanted to win, he wanted glory. he wanted the future promised to all victors. he didn’t know how “attractive” he was, he didn’t know that each murder would haunt him for years to come. he didn’t know his blind adoration would transform into an ugly hatred of the capitol, of his past self who wanted to prove himself.

and peeta was the song for the mockingjay to sing

This YouTube comment has been on my mind since I finished SOTR so this is what I came up with:

Lucy Gray was the mockingbird, living on the outskirts of district 12 and was there at the wrong time when they were forced to stay there after the Dark Days. They were subjected to the Capitol’s politics despite not being a part of Panem, technically speaking. Lucy Gray became part of the Games and, likewise, the mockingbird became affiliated with the Capitol through the jabberjay’s release into the woods, but it still continued to sing its own song.

Haymitch was the jabberjay, a Capitol tool that did what it had to in order to survive. The Capitol thought they could control them, but they retaliated in the form of rebellion. Haymitch refused to be a piece in their game and tried to end it, and the jabberjay, in the eyes of the Capitol, created a freak of nature that showed the Capitol’s lack of complete control.

Katniss was the mockingjay, a slap in the face of the Capitol, something that was never meant to exist. Together, the song of the mockingbird that lived on for generations and the stubbornness of the jabberjay that refused to die, the mockingjay had the best of both worlds. It was a symbol of rebellion and unity.

“what do you call someone who sacrifices peace to fight for liberty? a hero” — my history teacher talking about bread and circuses???

Hmm actually Lucy Gray is different from Haymitch and Katniss and Peeta because her tragedy is she caused the games to continue. If the games hadn't become entertaining, they wouldn't have continued and she made it entertaining because she was an entertainer - she saved herself but she doomed dozens more because she performed too well and it allowed the Capitol to make the games a performance in the later years. Haymitch's tragedy is that he couldn't end the games, Lucy Gray's is that she continued them.
