These were very fun to think of and I encourage y’all in the comments to come up with some too.

Also, how many of these could someone sneak into a fic before you noped out of it completely? For me, personally, I think I would light my computer on fire if somebody tried coming at me with a Shoesanne Collins. (Oh no, it should be Shoezanne, shouldn’t it? Goddamn!)

so this just popped into my head but like… in the districts do the women have access to things like tampons and pads and shit???? or like do they just free bleed

October 4th Peeta given gun

October 5th "I ate human flesh Katniss and watched thousands die ", sees Peeta shiver for first time asks why he is shivering he says there are demons and that they are attacking him, he has rashes that look like knife cuts, and that Peeta is triggered by combs, also sees Peeta play with tasers and taser himself with no effects why? The hijacking impacted his nervous system such that he can no longer feel physical pain.

October 6th Sees what Peeta's back looks like, Peeta accidently drops his drawings depicting his torture in the capitol, Katniss picks them up

October 7: Is reminded by what Peeta told her on October 5th, when the avox who had to serve food to the prisoners joins squad 452 triggering an episode where 5 are killed, Katniss presses the incapacitator before Peeta can off himself

October 8: Katniss learns fate of Darius, and about the lizard mutts, she also finds out that Old Peeta's last words were him screaming to her for help and about the effects of the mind breaking pill

I know there’s a lot of hate on Sejanus, and while I agree with part of it, I disagree with others. Of course, Sejanus’ head is in the right place, he wants to rebel and stop the Capital. He’s also a kid in the book and probably isn’t thinking through everything. However, he makes many big mistakes that probably lead to Snow becoming the person he is. The first two people that Snow kills are directly caused by Sejanus. And I believe it talks about how once you’ve killed one person, it becomes slightly easier to compromise your soul to do it again. This isn’t to sympathize with Snow or say “it’s not his fault he turned out evil”. Snow is absolutely at fault. He is his own person with the capability to make the right choice. I just think that Sejanus’ actions represent the butterfly effect and unintended consequences. Had Sejanus not been so careless, Snow might never have become as evil as he did.

This butterfly effect is also shown through Lucy Gray, except hers is less of being careless and more of she had no way of knowing the consequences. Interest in the games was running low, and if Snow and Lucy Gray had not revised the conditions the tributes were held in, people may have stopped watching the games altogether.

So now the question may be “Why do you blame Sejanus but not Lucy Gray”? Well, Sejanus did several things that would have clear consequences for others. He ran into the arena of tributes. Of course they’re going to try and send someone in to save him. He either knew that he was putting one of his friend’s lives in danger and didn’t care, or he has terrible foresight. No matter who you are or what your intentions are, having your ‘friend’ kill two people because of your carelessness is not a typical thing.

This is sort of common knowledge but I never thought about it this way until the other day & I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it.

Only kids/teens eligible for the Reaping can take out tesserae. Once they turn 19, they no longer have the option.

In a way, the tesserae system not only exists to divide different social classes, but also encourages people to KEEP having children for the Games… If you have a kid between the ages of 12 & 18, you can generally count on supper. 🤯

Trigger warnings:torture, this is your only warning before you proceed to read this post

Do you remember what you told me in the roof of the arena center, Peeta?

"Something about not being a piece in the games I was able to make that out after seeing your great speech in D2 but the rest is heavily Jacker blasted and filled with uncreative shiny crap"

"You said that you wanted to find a way to show the capitol that you are not a piece in their games that you don't want them to change you, that you want to die as yourself"

"I bet snow thought about that constantly, but there really is there no meaning in death, he wasn't experienced enough to know this, it didn't go well for him, while starved and Jackered did he at least get his wish, only I can answer this, though I watched him die, It's not an exaggeration to say this, Annie watched me as my mind collapsed in front of her, as my mind began jolting seizures I watched parts of myself disappear, it only took 30 minutes, he screamed your name as this happened, over and over again and the Jabberjays repeated it, Annie was forced to watch"

Annie shivers and Finnick puts his arm around her. "... you... let the toxic sludge win, by accepting this, its like being... Injured.. and doing nothing about it"

Katniss grows defiant her angered fueled by what Peeta just told her. Finnick begins sobbing at the images in his mind of Annie not spitting out the pill.

I’m in the process of writing a hunger games story, based on if the revolution never happened. It’s set in the 100th Games, a quarter quell where the rule is only sibling pairs are reaped.

Looking for someone/people to have a read of it once it’s finished and give me any tips to improve as it’s for a present!

Discussion Post; >!Do y’all think a high, jacked Peeta could take on hijacked Peeta? I think he would rock that boy’s shit and beat him with his prosthetic leg.!<

Every other day there's a Post about how the Reader should feel about Peeta during the period of his hijacking, if Katniss was "fair" to react in any way to his hijacking, if we'd have a response and be able to love someone who was hijacked like Peeta... on and on and on.

What is up with this Topic? It's so cyclical and constantly brought up, basically to the degree of "Was the Reaping Rigged for Prim?" or "Peeta vs Gale?". There's not much we can do but speculate about what was going on in Peeta's head, Katniss as PoV told us how she feels, and we truly don't know enough about the ins and outs of the torture to have any real substantial commentary on a weekly basis.

So I've just started catching fire, and I'm curious because in the first book it said how desperate Madge was to give katniss. She said it was a good luck charm, but why was she so desperate to give it to her. I don't want any spoilers if it's explained later in the series, but if it isn't, does anyone have any ideas?

Like I know she was notably cruel but he's so messy for that XD. like imagine the whole world and district hearing your son talk about how your husband pointed another woman's child out in the crowd and told him that he wanted to marry her mother but because she fell for someone else, he ended up with you. I'd be a little pissed XD.

lmk what you guys think happened to her looking for some good theories :)

I love both movies so much. The common theme between them being the book is better than the movies. I want to read the entire series in the way it was intended so I ask here: Hunger games books, or Divergent books.

Hunger games: Pros: Favorite series between the 2

Cons: Don't own any of the books so I'd have to buy more The series is longer so it's more to read More recent in my head as I just watched the movies

Divergent Pros: already own 2 books I think the concept is very interesting and maybe the reason I like hunger games more is because of the story telling in the book

Cons: can't think of any right now

For me it’s the obvious answer Gale

we only know district 12 had four and the the career districts produce the most victors but what about the rest?

Per Rule 7 of our sub, we are in the "Self Promotion Sunday" period of this week rn.

we see in the first movie that there is a board with their height, weight and age and I was curious if anyone can make out what Katniss’s weight is I can only make out that she’s 5’7 thanks!

I hope for Germany What about you?

I know he was traumatized by the Capitol and hijacked using tracker jacker venom, but that strangling scene was hard to watch, so I was quite wary to read the rest of the books. I watched it at 10 PM and did not sleep until at least midnight. 😭👍

(Spoilers ABOUND below).

Of course there is no way to know, but I wonder if, with the audience already having so much information about the 50th Games, Collins might include Victory Tour, the 51st, and/or the 52nd Games as well. It could make for an interesting retelling with Haymitch’s reaction to his family and girlfriend’s death and his participation as mentor in future games. This would leave a lot of room to show any potential interactions with Plutarch, Tigris, and the Underground, and even open up the world of Panem on the victory tour (remember, he knows about secret entryways in District 11 in CF). There’s potential, too, for learning about how other Victors stand on the Snow issue and the hunt for the mockingjay…

Of course, this is all speculation. But what do you think? What will be included in SoTR?

I quite like this scene between them. He has just told her he wants to be more than a piece in their games ( we know though of course Katniss doesn't he is planning to help her win) and Katniss responds by telling him that kind of thinking won't help him stay alive and we can see she doesn't fully understand what he means. When she says it is up to him if he wants plan a noble death and she wants to spend the rest of her life in 12, he tells her it wouldn't surprise him if she did and to give his mother his best when she makes it back. This is what he wants as well as in he wants her to win and spend the rest of her life in 12 but in that moment he is annoyed.

I think he is just scared and frustrated by the situation they are in. He is committed to helping her but when she doesn't understand exact what he is trying to say, in that moment he gets irritated. I think he also just feels at this point that nobody truly understands him

Abraham’s daughter is such a haunting song and perfect for ending the first movie!

I’ve read the whole series plus tbosas many times. Almost caved and bought the deluxe edition Hemingway exclusive but I’m thinking I should just hold out for a bit after SOTR releases. Also I don’t want paperbacks and I’m not a fan of the illustrated ones as they’re way too big and the artwork is pretty but not how I picture it at all.

When do you think all 5 will come out as a deluxe set?

Firstly, I absolutely love how Collins wrote Snow (using this name because I can’t be assed to write his first name a bunch of times). He’s insufferable and I hated him from the beginning. I’m tired of villain redemption prequels like the ones Disney is so fond of making and BOSAS doesn’t do that at all. I also love the continuation of such an unreliable narrator, though on the opposite spectrum. Katniss underestimates how important she is and Snow overestimates, and it’s a great parallel.

I feel like there are a lot of unanswered questions, but I don’t mind that in a book. Throughout the whole book I truly didn’t understand what Lucy Gray ever saw in Snow, but the ending makes me feel like maybe it was all a survival tactic. Or some of it was real and some of it not. Or it was all a symptom of being in the games and he the one that helped her.

I DO feel like Lucy Gray was a bit of a manic pixie dream girl, though I suppose you could argue that it’s due to Snow’s unreliable narration. For me though her speech patterns felt off. I did notice the use of “sweetheart” and how that matches Haymitch.

Anyway, I really enjoyed it! There were some slow parts and I had to restart it because the first time I abandoned it a few chapters in, but I’m glad I finally finished it.

Thank you for reading my ramble haha

Some details I remember. Covers their first pregnancy. Peeta finds blood on the bed and freaks out blaming Katniss for “hurting” their baby. He runs away to the bakery. Another detail is that Katniss teaches at the school and teaches the kids all the songs her dad taught her. Thanks for your help!

In light of this new prequel book about Haymitch, I've started thinking about where the arena he participated in could be located in real life. We know it has a striking meadow field, some cliffs, forests and most importantly an active volcano.

My best guess is Mount Saint Helens. Where do you imagine it is?
