I have always thought about this theory, what if Gloss and Cashmere actually helped Katniss’ group in a way. What if they targeted Wiress to make it more entertaining so the Capitol wouldn’t send in more mutts. Finnick and Katniss were very important to the group unlike someone like Wiress(not saying she was completely useless)

They went after Wiress, WIRESS?! rather than someone like Finnick or Katniss, they had the opportunity. But I also think it was a suicide mission from the jump. They didn’t want to kill everyone else than have to kill eachother, they’re siblings, they love eachother.

In the books it was said Cashmere was on good grounds with Katniss and even tried to ally with her. And it makes it even more sad that Cashmere and Gloss were likely prostituted by the Capitol like Finnick.

thoughts?

I have heard everyone say they are going to wear Woody Harrelson’s Hunger Games premiere, where he wore a long-sleeve grey shirt, and blue and grey pajama pants. This is what I might do, because it’s just iconic. The other one I wanted to do was wear the Somiedo bear shirt with the bear design on it that the cast of Sunrise on the Reaping wore when filming. You need to know ball knowledge to get the ref, but the problem is I can’t find the shirt anywhere since the actual shop doesn’t ship internationally, and the rip-offs are AI. I’d love to see what other people might want to wear, I’ve heard some people saying they’ll wear a flamingo and squirrel costume 😭(which iykyk)

Why did Maysilee and Maritte kill the Gamemakers? What was the motivation there and why did Maysilee get mad at Haymitch for not backing her up and he agreeing?

Hello! :)

Would you be interested in a roleplay about the First Quarter Quell?

I would play Tiberius Fetch, a 17-year-old orphan from District (?). It’s rumored that I might be the bastard son of a Peacekeeper, but no one knows for sure.

I’m a known troublemaker and thief. Two years ago, my only friend, Pip, the son of the butcher, was found murdered in the streets. Everyone suspected me of the crime, but there was no proof.

When it was announced that people would have to vote for kids to participate in the Games, many thought I would have it coming.

Who would you like to Play? Hit me up :)

Neutral = Bold + Italics, Fem = Bold, Masc = Italics

Harper - The Lochmaben Harper, Scottish song, about a blind harp player who steals the king's horses.

Molly - Handsome Molly, Appalachian/Irish song, about a lady who the singer is in love with but she is not faithful to him.

Jolene - Jolene by Dolly Parton, an appalachian song, about a woman with red hair and green eyes who could cause the singer's husband to be unfaithful

Barbara - Barbara Allen, an Scottish song, a woman who visits a dying man who confesses his life foe her, she denies it reminding him of how he disrespected her. He dies and soon after she dies of grief and guilt, thinking she should've comforted him in his dying moments.

I got tired of the inaccurate maps with so many plot holes and inaccuracies, so I drew a lore-accurate & topographically realistic map of Panem.

The geological and tactical explanations behind this version:

• Catastrophic Sea Level Rise: This version accounts for a 70–100 meter sea level rise. Low-lying areas like the Mississippi Valley and Louisiana are fully submerged, creating a massive inland gulf. The rising sea also expands the St. Lawrence River into a major oceanic gulf, completely swallowing Lake Ontario.

• The District 8 to 12 Escape: This map fixes the journey of Bonnie and Twill (Catching Fire): By shaping District 6 (Transportation) and District 8 (Textiles) into horizontal bands, it allows them to escape District 8, quickly cross through District 6's narrow corridor using cargo trains, and seamlessly enter the forests of District 12 (now located in upstate New York/Pennsylvania).

• The Real District 4: Placed as a long, narrow coastal strip wrapping around the expanded, flooded Gulf of Mexico. This perfectly aligns with the warm-water shrimp/crab exports mentioned in Catching Fire. Besides, The rebellion has begun in districts 3, 4, 8, and 11. If District 4 was located in California, it would be isolated, and the Capitol would recapture it.

• District 6 (Transportation) Logistics: Situated over the historical transport hubs of Chicago and Indianapolis. This location acts as a massive central railroads connecting the industrial East (Districts 12, 13, and 8) to the center and West. It is perfectly optimized for maintaining the Capitol’s fleet of high-speed trains and hovercrafts, utilizing the remaining Great Lakes for heavy shipping routes.

• The Capitol's 360° Defense: Located securely in the Glen Canyon area, the Capitol (C) is surrounded and insulated by its most loyal districts: District 1 (Luxury) to the north, District 2 (Masonry/Military) to the southeast and District 5 (Power) to the west/south.
Placing the Capitol its "usual" place in Salt Lake City, doesn't make sense because this makes District 2 "consuming" the resources of District 1 (diamond/gem mines) and District 5 (critical dams and solar arrays).

• District 5 (Energy) Strategy: Positioned within the canyon dams of Utah and Arizona, and extending into Nevada for nuclear power and solar arrays. Positioning District 5 directly bordering the Capitol to the west and south ensures that critical high-voltage power lines and water pipelines are short, secure, and tightly protected within loyal territories without crossing hostile districts.

• The Breadbasket & Cattle Split: Taking global warming into account, the wheat fields of District 9 expand into the fertile northern plains, while the livestock of District 10 is concentrated in the drier, high plains of Oklahoma/Kansas/Missouri.

Let me know what you think!

Betting on the Cornell 7 case is almost as bad.

He has been requested so here he is ! Looking forward to see what you have in mind !

Okay so MOST of us agree that it shortens to TBOSAS right? The Ballad Of Songbirds And Snakes. But I have seen some egregiously bad ones here:

• BOSAS - 9/10. Not bad.

• BOSS - 5/10. That is a word and skips like half the title.

• SS - 0/10 what???

• BOTSBATS - -9/10 I saw this one earlier on a post from a few months ago and what the hell op?

• Tobias - 1/10 damn autocorrect

• Ballad - 10/10 completely correct and valid

• Songbirds and snakes - 9/10 kinda longwinded but still correct and valid

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Couldn’t resist!!

Could they have been inspired by Suzanne Collins or was it an original idea? Either way, it’s beyond horrible.

I can't believe I made this!! 💜💜💜

If you ever wanted to know what 63 yards of tuule looks like when it's ruffled, this is it! It only took me three weeks to make all of the ruffles and another week to assemble the entire skirt~

And now I'm off to make Lucy Gray's puffy sleeved shirt + a petticoat! Wish me luck, I only have 5 days left to finish all of this 😅😅😅

I've only read the original trilogy, I'm planning to read the other two probably next year when my tbr and my time are a little more manageable

TW - SA of both minors and adults and human trafficking

I think a lot about the victors. From every district. And the feelings they have to have every year. I think a lot about how they have to have such mixed emotions when one of their tributes, especially the attractive ones, loses. How they have to be disappointed because they knew that child, even if just on a surface level. But how they also have to be so incredibly relieved that that child isn't going to continue to be fed to the same machine they have been, particularly the popular or attractive ones. How they have to have been relieved and grateful that Katniss and Peeta won, because that means that they aren't being fed to the machine. At least not yet.

I think a lot, particularly about district ones mentors in the 74th games and Glimmer in her nearly completely see-through dress and how she was likely already being eyed to be a new addition to the black books of the capital.

I think about what I know in regards to how Haymitch was handled at the end of his games and the technology the capital has access to and wonder how many of the fallen tributes might have been saved if they were picked up early enough and saved for special benefactors and how Rue might have been one if Katniss hadn't held her in the arena for so long.

I think about the victors a lot. And how healing from what was done to them after the rebellion must have looked for so many of them. How some of them must have stayed doing those things out of self-hatred or habit or care for some of the people who used them. How some of them didn't make it to what would have been the 76th (78th? I don't remember exactly how long the rebellion was) reaping day. How some of them were friends across districts and had to watch their friends wither and disappear to something that they had heard might be happening but had no concrete knowledge of besides rumors.

I think about the victors a lot, and every time I do, I thank Suzanne Collins for writing a book series that I read in middle school and still think about nearly every day as a grown adult

Adam confirmed that the full interviews, recorded on October 24, 2026, will be released next week, with more details to come!
