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.

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)

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.

i hate you. just so you know that

“Can you imagine [the sun] rising on a world without the reaping?”

well hardy har de har you're getting a fucking glimpse of mr. burdock everdeen (and they're friends! what the fuck)

and asterid everdeen-neé march

“My father. He seems to be everywhere today. Dying in the mine. Singing hi way into Peeta’s muddled consciousness. Flickering in the look Boggs gives me as he protectively wraps the blanket around my shoulders. I miss him so badly it hurts.” (mj 246)

I do badly want to see Mr Everdeen in SOTR, I’ll take a GLIMPSE. I’ll take anything. Please.

you better believe it bitches

follow up is "i didn't need to fix him, he fixed himself for me and i supported him and he is now an amazing human being but maybe only around me and it's actually very healthy"

this is very different from enemies to lovers ok

“whatever the fuck these two characters had going on” is a vastly underrated character dynamic

gorgeous

Merry Christmas!

Hey! Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates! ♥️

We have absolutely ordinary day here but I wanted to congratulate you all with something nice ♥️ So here are main characters of my blog haha ;)

(I will come back with my annual winter Everlark illustration on a Russian Christmas Eve as always)

Have a wonderful day, sweethearts!

Thinking about the lyrics from ballad of Lucy Gray but applied to Haymitch and Maysilee Donner, and his girlfriend, and his family, and literally all the people haunting him while he slowly drinks himself to death after winning the games

Ship dynamic: She's everything, and he's just Ken/Worships the ground she walks on gotta be one of my favorites honestly

the way that katniss only remembers peeta telling her always after hurting her heel in catching fire after getting shot in mockingjay and peeta being hijacked is foul

Suzanne I am in your walls

new sketchbook pages ft crushes mental anguish and hyperfixes

Next time, if you want to hurt me, please just shoot me

It’ll hurt less I think

everlark in the big 25?? crazy

'Sunshine' this 'Sunshine protector' that.. what about 'grumpy' and 'grumpy defender'.

really glad everyone is appreciating the great war but please don’t forget who it’s really for… katniss everdeen and peeta mellark

Peeta was always endgame no matter how you slice it. Obviously there's the narrative choice, already gone into that, but from a character perspective too.

I mean there's the whole 'gale winds are loud, devastating, and quick to pass' and 'pita (bread) is considered the cornerstone that helped create humanity' thing, there's war vs peace, wrath vs mercy, self vs many, etc etc.

One of them brings destruction (gale is defined by what he kills, be it rabbits or sisters, and the systems he wants to bring down) and the other, creation (peeta is defined by the things he makes - speeches, bread, art).

One of them will end the world, the other will rebuild it from the ashes. Obviously Gale is needed - you can't make omelettes without breaking eggs after all- but he was never a sustainable, long term option.

WHICH THEN BRINGS ME BACK OH SO NICELY to how love IS a central theme of the series, because there HAS to be a 'so after'.

I love the fact when I started reading The Hunger Games I was like “I’m going into this book reading it in a sophisticated way though the lens of hating government and stuff” and I left going “wow Katniss and Peeta are the perfect couple, their understanding of what the other thinks and wants is so sweet. Oh and the government sucks too!”

nothing brings me more peace than knowing that katniss everdeen spends the rest of her life eating warm cheese buns and being held every night by a man who loves her more than life itself. she deserves everything
