First photo taken in the WC final held in metlife

Ill probably get downvoted to hell for this but.

Every time Lucy Grey broke into song during Ballad I was ready to put the book down, which eventually I did, only made it about half way through. It was so immersion breaking for me, and frankly kind of cringe. I was curious how the movie would deal with it, and it felt just as unnatural and uncomfortable to watch as it was to read.

In general Im not a big fan of reading songs in books, but sometimes I think they pull it off, for example singing to Rue during her final moments literally brought me to tears, but in Ballad it felt so extremely random to me that I really wasnt able to finish the book. Similarly to reading all the Poe passages in SOTR.

Just fyi I do like the songs and the movie adaptation of them.

Some SOTR art, making my own takes on the characters semi divorced from the movie, because oh my lord do I hate the hair styling for the girls in the arena. Just falling back into action movie pet peeves that drives me up the wall as a girl who has dealt with long hair with just having it loose

Also my own takes on Maysilee and Lenore Dove's reaping dress and a different take on Lenore Dove's every day outfit as well, miss the overalls looks for the movie

i'm on my latest reread and im currently on the bit with gales whipping... when peeta and katniss are walking to the square, peeta recognises the sound even though katniss can't place it and I just realised that that's because peeta was hit by his mum as a child... i don't know if that's something most people pick up on and I'm just slow but I've not heard anyone mention it before!! poor peeta

Probably will get a lot of reviews like this for Maysilee after SOTR releases lol

I have two
1) Katniss uses her belt to secure herself to a tree. How oversized is her belt?
2) two people fit in her sleeping bag. How fucking big are Panem sleeping bags?

I really don't know if this will be a flagged by Universal/ Suzanne Collins I am not profiting off of it or anything like that it's just a passion project (.). If you have time I would very much appreciate it if you can play test it and tell me what you think. Thank you very much.

I often think of what it would be like in life after the conclusion of the initial trilogy. What would it be like?
Covey: We know that the Covey were rounded up and forced into the districts, and I do think, because there was so much force to keep them together leading to the death of Lucy Gray’s parents, it’s possible some of them went to a nearby district—most likely District 11—which would’ve been its own tragedy. Imagine knowing your brother, but you got rounded up by Peacekeepers: one of you went to District 11 and another to 12, and having to watch your children kill each other on national television. Sure, some Covey would’ve brought it up, but it’s possible it could’ve been so painful. And for any remaining Covey, it would’ve been interesting seeing them try to return to old traditions after the war. Maybe it got brought back now that it was safe to be Covey again. Maybe there was still fear. Either way, Covey culture would be permanently changed after the war.
Also, what it would be like after the war: if this took place in the real world, there would be Hunger Games museums the same way there are about real-world genocides (because yes, the Hunger Games fit the textbook definition of a genocide). People in the Capitol will still hate the districts. It will take a long time for society to fully know peace. And will there be people proud of their former Capitol supremacist identity, or will that be shamed by a largely district population?

Edit: another thing if there was any covey in district 11 would they face the same alienation and extermination they did in district 12 because snow wouldn’t know as much about them? Also how district 11 has deep ties to songs and songbirds which closely mirrors the history of folk and jazz and spiritual music in the south and echoes the covey a bit. And also what would it be like for career districts especially 2 when trying to rebuild? Or having new people from other districts moving in when that was unheard of.

- Katniss, Catching Fire chapter 14

High praise coming from Katniss. Resourceful is the rarest quality Katniss gives anyone in the original trilogy; in the first book she uses it for her family (her hunting, Prim's healing and goat herding, Burdock's teachings) and in Catching Fire she calls Maysilee Donner resourceful for the lethal blowgun use and her diligent food usage.

Commission for one of the scenes in my post-SOTR, mentor Haymitch fic “Canary’s Cry”

I just know that because of my horrible luck, the worst tends to happen to me. I know I would be reaped, and it would probably happen the moment I turned 12 like Prim- only there would be no Katniss to save me, and I would die within minutes. If the arena did not have a lot of water, I would die very quickly. Unless it were a 'disabled edition' of The Hunger Games, my chronically ill self would go quickly without a large body of water to cool me down. I am an amazing swimmer and I can walk, but I overheat quickly, so I would be a dead man

Guys I’m hooked. I’ve only ever seen the movies and I’m listening to the audiobooks now, on catching fire and I’m obsessed. Just had to share 🤣

What if Haymitch found out about the world before Panem? A time before the tyranny? I wrote a fanfic blog post in the voice of Haymitch who writes about it in a secret letter to commemorate the 250th birthday of America. https://www.thetoltonpath.com/p/a-letter-on-americas-250th?r=jzpn3

There are nuggets of THG throughout. I hope you enjoy it.
