This week marked the 12th anniversary of The Hunger Games movie release.
What do you think about THG as a movie adapatation?
Do you think THG influence other movie (/book) in the genre? Yes/No? Why?
Is there any difference in your opinion about it between when you first saw the movie (/read the book) and now?
Thank you :)
@curiousthg
Okay, so I do think I've said before but I stand firm on the opinion that while the films most certainly have their issues, they are among if not the best movie to book adaptations. I've yet to see one, aside from maybe some classic book adaptations, that beat The Hunger Games films. Again, even if I do think they are certeinly not perfect but. They do REALLY well and clear a bar most don't.
And I think THAT is my opinion that has changed. That the book will always be better. Even if you see the movie first like I did the first THG movie.
I think the fact we are STILL talking about THG is honestly the most beautiful proof that this trilogy has influence on the genre! It has without a doubt. Even if I cannot come up with specific examples rn XD.

Hello! I’m not sure if this is a common Everlark song rec in the fandom already but omg the song “Dandelion” by Daughter is PEAK Peeta returning to D12 at the end of MJ energy! That phase where they’re giving each other some space but there are some stolen glances and attempts in talking but they’re still figuring out how? Literally every line fits but mostly
“I've been watchin' dandelions growin' by the grove… and it's a shame because I only came here for the love of you”
also since Peeta only came home for her 🥹❤️
Have NOT heard of that song before now but AHH YES YOU ARE SO RIGHT!
I am getting post MJ feels just from this ask XD.

Guess I feel the need to say this. At risk of absolutely having many people come for me.
I like that Katniss DOES have and seems to be comfortable with this idea of marriage and children. That those things are good, enjoyable things to desire to have and even focus on even as a woman.
I like it because that is very much my own thoughts and feelings. I don't relate to Katniss because I relate to the hunter or fighter facet of her character. I relate to Katniss who wants to love and protect her sister and Rue. Who wants love and affection, to be kissed and held. Who starts to have feelings for a boy and instantly is thinking of marriage and children, and only negatively because in her situation how dangerous things are.
Maybe I am entirely alone in this but Katniss is one of so painfully few characters I CAN relate to on this level any more. Perhapes that is why I am SO protective of this side of her character.
Call me outdated, old-fashioned or somehow 'anti feminist' for this. But it's just something I've been thinking about and had to voice maybe for fans who don't understand why these parts of Katniss's character are just important as others.

I really DO love to think about Katniss, Peeta and Gale being friends Post-MJ.
Mostly because I just LOVE the idea that as the three of them come into adulthood they really do fully come to just laugh at the whole 'love triangle' thing. When things shake out and Gale see's how happy Katniss is, how much happier he is not begging and pleading for any scrap of the kind of love/affection he wants from her and both of them seeing how happy Katniss is getting to have both of them in her life in the way she is comfortable, they ALL just like. Get along great. Perhaps Katniss and Gale still have some of that distance that grew during the war, but they DO all become close and that means so much to me.

“Katniss and Peeta are only together because of the Games” Suzanne Collins did not go out of her way to establish a pre-reaping history and post-victory friendship between them for you to have that superficial of a take

So, based on my headcanon Peeta uses both a wheelchair at home or crutches to prevent hurting both his amputated leg AND his good one.
He absolutely delights toastbabies by riding with them on his lap in the chair. They love to playfully try and push him and play in it when Peeta isn't using it. They request their own play crutches to 'walk like papa does', which of course Katniss makes them because when can she say no to her babies ever?.

Saw someone in the tag mention bread making and I tried not to expose myself as someone who is being bitten by the bread making bug but. Lets go. A headcanon I've had for a WHILE now.
Peeta, with Katniss and even Haymitches help has to clear the site of the bakery before he can begin rebuilding. It is, as one would expect, extreamly emotonally taxing but he powers through with their support. There isn't a whole lot to save, but he does manage to get a few boxes. Mosly nonsense stock records. There is a box of the Mellark families most basic recipes he obviously keeps. However the interesting thing is a almost empty box with a larger envolope. Katniss finds it, not quite sure what it is. It has only a date on it, one not long before the bombing.
Upon inspection, Peeta knows exactly what it is. It's saved with the other few boxes and taken home.
The next day Katniss finds Peeta dumping it into a small bowl with water and a little sugar. When asked, he explains that the envelope contains dried yeast his father must have saved. Mixed with warm water and sugar, it is how bread dough rises.
He makes a loaf with it, and somehow it's better than any other he's made in a long time even though there is literally no difference in the recipe he uses.

So...because there is clearly someone who wants to use this tag negatively...a gentle reminder: Block ruthlessly. Don't engage, it will do nothing to someone who clearly just wants to put negativity into this place. YOUR enjoyment is worth far more than any reason you could have to even briefly glance at anything they post.
Have a lovely day Everlark tag and let's drown out some of the noise with filling this space even more with fun posts!

Ok so we know everlark have children in the end, but. Do you think they would have any pets (apart from buttercup) idk I just love to see everlark with pets, especially emotional support pets (cats can be healers too goddammit), I just love the idea of a dorky golden retriever as their support dog or a big dumb cat that just wants cuddles, it gives me life.
Oh yeah, I def think they had a few pets aside from Buttercup!
Maybe it IS because of our favorite yellow feline but I do think they are cat people. I certainly do see them always having another cat or two, likly a kitten they find needing a home.
Peetas are so genuinely comforting to people going though struggles, and I def 100%! Pets would be a good thing for Katniss and Peeta.
EDIT: So coming back to say on that last paragraph I meant to start with 'pets'. The typo cracked me up enough for it to get to live on because it's to funny to me to correct. But yes, I did mean to put 'pets' there XD.

Radom Everlark Thought: Ariana Grande’s new song “we can’t be friends (wait for your love)” is SO post-thg Everlark, like its the gap between the first games and the Victory Tour?
The line: “I don’t like how you paint me, yet I’m still here hanging” BC KATNISS HATED PEETAS PAINTINGS BC PEETA ONLY PAINTED THE GAMES 😭😭
and the major theme of it “We can’t be friends, but I’d like to just pretend” and “Love, I’ll wait for your love” IF THAT DOESN’T SCREAM PEETA MELLARK POV IDK WHAT DOES
Have not heard that song but from what you share AHH IT DOES SOUND LIKE THEM!
Always love when music alligns with OTPs :).

It truly is a hilarious and confusing mess tbh XD.
I think though, it's actually Peeta recognizing Katniss has to let him go if he gets his way by her living on after the Quell. And whatever that looks like, he's gonna allow her even if I do think there was a part of him is uncomfortable with doing that even though he thinks she's choosen Gale. Because he wants her to be able to fully be with Gale and to do that I think Peeta logically assumes she needs to settle whatever is going on between them first. And because Katniss ISN'T chooseing Gale that looks like the two of the falling into those (adoreable) habits.
So sorry I just am working my way through CF, saw this post and had thoughts.
While I do think Peeta was starting to get a bit of an inkling of Katniss’s feelings by the time they were on the train to the quell (and I also think he noticed that Katniss and Gale literally weren’t acting like a couple post whipping but was also had his own insecurities which colored his perception a lot), it’s also fun to just imagine him going ‘I’m about to die for her and I’ve missed her so much, time to die a possible homewrecker’. Not even talking about the beach kiss, literally talking about him going straight into husband mode from the train on when there are no cameras. CF Peeta was him at peak being messy (despite being a sweetheart)
this is why i’ve always maintained that, where katniss is concerned, peeta is not opposed to being the other man!!
fr though it’s hilarious to think about. because for the last half of CF, he’s fully operating on the assumption that katniss and gale are a Thing. they may not be together but there’s a mutual understanding between all three of them that katniss sided with gale, so he’s decided to respect that. however!! as soon as they’re reaped and they slip into their old habits, peeta resumes boyfriend duties even in their private time, which he absolutely doesn’t have to. them cuddling in bed and him playing with her hair on the roof and kissing her before they go off to the games is just. it’s crazy. he’s crazy. he loves her so much. i don’t think he even starts to understand how much she likes him until the beach kiss, so we can safely say that up until that point, he thought he was cuddling and neck-kissing some other guy’s maybe-girlfriend which is so funny
