SOTR Spoilers Ahead:
I've seen a couple of posts now about people's suspicion over The Capitol being able to find a girl that could replace Louella as fast as they did, especially after finding out Lou Lou's from District 11
But I'm gonna be honest, when I found out she was from District 11, it actually put a lot of the pieces together for me. My mind immediately went to Seeder, the D11 female victor in Catching Fire
If its been a second since you've read CF here's her description:
She looks like she could be from the seam. I wouldn't be surprised if Seeder's description is the reason SC chose D11 for Lou Lou tbh.
Also for making their faces match, I've always just kinda assumed fast fashion cosmetic surgery is common place for The Capitol so there's probably plenty of surgeons able to do the job quickly and well enough to pass her off as Louella to anyone who didn't know her.
And it’s not like they did a particularly clean job at it either. Their “solution” was so incredibly slapped together and messy (And that’s HORRIFIC because we’re talking about a CHILD). She’s hooked up to drugs 24/7, which could easily be ripped out, manipulated, etc. and also make her barely able to function and causes more problems for the Capitol than not. One thing that’s brought up over and over in sotr is the Capitol’s gross incompetence, but because of they’re good at propaganda, you wouldn’t realize it. Lou Lou’s another example of that
(Also....Seeder's in her 60s in CF...meaning she would have been a victor and, I dunno, old enough to have a 13 year old by the 50th Hunger Games...I'M NOT SAYING SHE'S LOU LOU'S MOM I'm just saying the timeline lines up weirdly well)
You've heard of Katniss and Lucy Gray having Appalachian accents. You've heard of the Capitol having Mormon accents. Now get ready for: President Coin and 13 having New York accents
here’s an Odesta for the first time in months
My Hunger Games Playlist
AKA songs I'd love to make animatics to but that requires SO MUCH time that instead I just daydream what it'd look like
I Bet On Losing Dogs by Mitski- Obviously I'm not the first to say this, but it's a very Haymitch song (at least to me) specifically about him being a mentor
Yeti by Paris Paloma- The tragedy of Katniss and Gale's friendship falling apart because it IS a tragedy that makes my heart hurt when I think about it too much. They were each other's safe place to be children and now that's gone forever.
From Eden by Hozier- Finnick's POV about himself and his relationship with Annie throughout the years. The song sounding so upbeat but the lyrics being so hopeless (but not about her) and self deprecating is very Finnick to me
Eat Your Young by Hozier- Honestly this one could just be an anthem for Panem, specifically through President Snow's POV
Pale White Horse by The Oh Hellos- This song sounds like its straight out of the books tbh. It'd be Katniss's journey throughout the books, specifically through her relationship with President Snow.
Curses by The Crane Wives- Katniss and Peeta growing back together but still trying to process the trauma of everything they've been through while living on the mass graves of everything they've ever known.
Yeah! I feel the the berries tie them all together in a way that's not talked about as much as I wish it was.
Also YES! His arm was intentional for that exact reason! I'm so happy all the little details I put in are coming through!!
Family Portrait
The only family he has.

I have a lot of criticisms for the hunger games movies
The score is NOT one of them
Worst Change in The Hunger Games movies
This is for changes from the book to movie The Hunger Games, not how well a scene/character was adapted (we'll save that for another poll). There were a lot of things that could have been added that were more subjective, so I tried to stick with what's written in the book and what we actually see. And there's more I could have added, so sound off if you have anything else you'd say was the worst!
WAITWAITWAIT I JUST REALIZED
Are we finally gonna know the names of Katniss and Peeta's parents????
The Victor of the 50th Hunger Games
I've already warned all my family, friends, and coworkers about how insufferable I'm going to be until this book is released
Absolutely fighting the urge to redraw some of my hunger games art even though none of it is even a year old
The scene that made my dumb kid brain go “oh she does love him….”
Your Finnick as demisexual hc just destroyed me a little. Not only does it make sense it also makes what he went through worse somehow. 😭😭😭😭
I actually have had this headcanon that Finnick is a-spec longer than I've known I'm ace myself (same with Katniss)
And yeah, it definitely adds an awful layer :(
Realized I hadn't given Johanna an official design and that seemed like a crime
