to my knowledge (someone correct me) Snow never hears Katniss sing The Hanging Tree (that’s a movie invention, and it’s not even confirmed in the movies that he’s hearing it), but those are not the only songs Lucy Gray sings … and can you imagine the slow creeping paranoia beginning to crawl back up his spine when Katniss honors Rue in much the way Sejanus honored Marcus … when she then begins to sing Deep in the Meadow, Maude Ivory’s song … when Peeta tells the story of how he fell for his girl, when she was singing, of all things, the Valley Song … not to mention all the references to mockingjays throughout the first arena (whose idea was that?) … oh, it’s delicious … the first similarity Snow could dismiss as mere coincidence (it’s not uncommon, we know, for tributes to stay with a dying peer), the second, as a product of an insular backwoods culture (right? RIGHT?) but by the third … he must have felt a ghost-chill on the back of his neck … and I LOVE it … Snow lands on top, but as soon as that burning chariot burst out of the night, he should have known … his time was up

"The show's not over until the mockingjay sings," she said. "The mockingjay?" He laughed. "Really, I think you're just making these things up." "Not that one. A mockingjay's a bonafide bird," she assured him. "And it sings in your show?" he asked. "Not my show, sweetheart. Yours. The Capitol's, anyway."

I just saw The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes in theatres and thought it was excellent. Has anyone else seen it? It made me so nostalgic for THG universe and made me wish Suzanne would write another book. Maybe Haymitch’s time in the games?? Thoughts?

it’s kind of interesting that throughout all of mockingjay, even when peeta was gone and katniss desperately missed him and his presence beside her at night, and even when she believed peeta would never again be the boy with the bread, the idea of gale sleeping with her or sharing the same bed as her to help with the nightmares never ever comes up.

Then Peeta’s there looking handsome in red and white, pulling me off to the side. “I hardly get to see you. Haymitch seems bent on keeping us apart.”
Haymitch is actually bent on keeping us alive, but there are too many ears listening, so I just say, “Yes, he’s gotten very responsible lately.”
“Well, there’s just this and we go home. Then he can’t watch us all the time,” says Peeta.
I feel a sort of shiver run through me and there’s no time to analyze why, because they’re ready for us.
You can’t convince me that Katniss wasn’t into Peeta by the end of book one.

One of the things I love most about Everlark is that in any universe, the second Katniss communicates that she’s even a little bit into Peeta he instantly becomes the giddiest, cockiest flirt on the face of the earth.
I will read 1,000 versions of this.

The older I get the more I respect Peeta for looking at Katniss after she threw him into a wall and saying I’m gonna wife her

growing up is realizing that the marketing of The Hunger Games series was ironic in the sense that the romance and spectacle of the games were central instead of the social commentary and making a Captiol makeup line and all that shit, but also realizing that The Hunger Games very much is a love story and that is key to its point.
Katniss and Peeta grew up in a world of fear and control and hunger, and found peace and hope in each other. Katniss choosing to keep on living, to be with Peeta, to have children were all paramount to her growth. it showed that she felt safe to bring children into a new world without the games. she chose the person who made her feel like there was always something worth fighting for, that you cannot rid the world of its kindness and goodness no matter how hard you try. how is that not a love story? and a damn good one at that?
so when anyone says that The Hunger Games films weren’t good because they ‘focused too much on the love story’ I can’t help but be a pretentious fuck about it and shake them by the shoulders and go but it is a love story!
(now if your critique is that it focused too much on the love triangle, I partially agree. the books make it clear Gale was never a real contender. it was always Peeta. even when Peeta was probably dead or dying, Gale knew where Katniss’s heart would always be.)

Katniss: *yawns*
Peeta: yeah, being pretty must be tiring
Katniss frowning: then you must be exhausted
Peeta blushing: what
Katniss blushing even harder: what

you’ve got to love how Suzanne Collins gave Katniss and Peeta the character goals of “keep Prim safe” and “stay myself” and then just flatly denied them both
