The characters in the Hunger Games

Celia: born in the capitol, adopted into the upper echelons of district 8, is good at fighting but loses because she has no media appeal

Josh: district 3, gets really far because he has a lot of sponsors and quick reflexes, eventually dies trying to protect Celia

Maddie: district 10, lives the first two nights because she avoided the Cornucopia but gets seperated from her encampment and supplies, dies of overexposure

Heath: district 7, faked incompetence in training and managed to surprise people in the arena, but got taken down by the career tributes

Kitt: district 11, hides early on but has no fighting skills and therefore doesn’t make it. He’s the Rue equivalent

Audra: from district 7 with Heath, gets pretty far because of an alliance with him, can use long range weaponry

Doxa: district 2, career tribute, the victor

Mr. Hannagan’s family: oh y’all are in a cult cult

#‘we try not to broach the subject’ did they accuse you of being astrology freaks? #his family was like ‘whoever the Overseer is I promise it’s safe to get out’ #they probably thought Mrs. Hannagan was proselytizing #Mr. Hanmagan’s family when his new fiancé tries to convince them magic exists: 🤨😅🫣🥹😦🫠 #okay I’m done now #it’s just really funny #description in alt text #page 51 #secrets letters and lies #celias journey #the hannagan family

And then he stopped wearing it!! He hung it on a hook and made someone else touch it when he needed to summon his followers!! Get this man a divorce

You’re telling me the Desert Knights were sealed into service with a ring? Like marriage? Like you do when you’re getting married and you present a ring to your betrothed and they literally did that. like marriage

#no he can’t go to the nearest government office he can’t leave his house #you’ve gotta get him the divorce on wheels van #I mean refusing to wear the ring is a metaphor obviously #he wants power without responsibility #he wants everyone to be tied to him without being tide to anyone in turn #but like also #get this man a divorce #Casimir coridan #celias journey

Celia don’t be gender essentialist for one chapter challenge level impossible

#celia fincastle #celias journey

Also, Casimir had it in his possession for over a decade and yet refused to drink from it in all that time, heavily implying its should only be touched by the lips of Princeps which like…

The Ramregrael being a cup with the word grail in it… the religion is undertoning

#way to fuel my insane extrapolation #give me an inch and I’ll take a mile #is it that Casimir wouldn’t drink from the chalice or that he COULDN’T #and which is more exciting to me #I have yet to decide #Casimir coridan

[professorlegaspi]

I think Neel is the only Desert Knight that’s ever explicitly described as I unafraid of Casimir so he gets points for balls

if you like a piece of media that is good eventually youll more or less run out of things to say about how good it is but if you like a piece of media that is objectively pretty mediocre but also somehow deeply compelling thats how the demons get you

#celias journey #it’s sooo mid and I love it sooo much

[professorlegaspi]

There’s a scene where Casimir holds it up at a Desert Knight meeting and it catches the sunlight streaming in from the window while he remains entirely in shadow … the metaphors are metaphoring

The Ramregrael being a cup with the word grail in it… the religion is undertoning

#something something all the light and attention he gets is actually attention given to the Overseer and Princep #and he can only get love and attention through his proximity to these things #I mean he literally wears a black cape #he literally clothes himself in shadow while trying to shed light #the thoughts are percolating that’s for sure #Casimir coridan

Maddie not knowing what high school is does make me more inclined to accept the idea of Demesne elementary schools

#if she’d gone to public school surely she’d know #she wouldn’t be that sheltered #I mean there remains the option of home school #but for Maddie’s mom’s sanity I hope that wasn’t the case #homeschooling 4 kids? absolutely brutal #celias journey #madelia hannagan #the hannagan family

#this is what I’m trying to say about speech gifts #imagine if god have you superhuman communication skills #imagine if you could hear people without hearing the translation #we can’t have that so incredibly deep level of knowing #but they can.

[professorlegaspi]

Oh absolutely. She’d be online searching up “how to support a paranoid family member” and trying to implement the suggestions and everything. I like think she’d end up on Reddit because that’s funny to me

I can’t remember if I’ve talked about this here, but it would be really interesting if post-basement Neeghan had paranoid delusions

#she’d have a completely see-through username like celia-sister or something too #I know that she’s was never taught online safety #celia online: AITA for telling my sister that there are probably people following her everywhere when there’s actually not #the good thing for Neeghan is she has a really good support system #she has a limited number of friends her age admittedly but she has multiple trustworthy authority figures as well as younger siblings #which is more than a lot of people with mental health issues have #plus with mind gifts I feel like there’s probably more study into these kinds of things in the demesne #although maybe not idk #millsharley40 #celia fincastle

[professorlegaspi]

Celia wouldn’t realize they’re delusions for a long time because when she was seeing people following her everywhere there actually were people following her everywhere

I can’t remember if I’ve talked about this here, but it would be really interesting if post-basement Neeghan had paranoid delusions

#she would be completely supportive sending out scouts ect #I think Daerik would take it in stride #celias journey #celia fincastle

So sad that we never saw anyone in Celia’s Journey get due process arrested. I wanna see them read the rights, I wanna know what that’s like in the Demesne

#there’s definitely rights that differ slightly #like when Maddie gets kidnapped and Celia asks if there’s anything she can do as Princep #Mr. Morven says: #‘since you asked were obligated to tell you there are certain recourses available to you as princep’ #obligated like in a law way I assume #which implies there’s a legal code #and also that at one point a princep was duped by their advisors and decided to put that law in place #or if not a Princep then some other legal body #i wanna knoooow #celias journey

[professorlegaspi]

The Ramregrael being a cup with the word grail in it… the religion is undertoning

#what if the Princep is theologically similar to Jesu- *gunshot noise* #i hate that I can’t tell if it’s intentional #like I fully believe that Melissa Gunther could’ve been brainstorming a name for this thing #and come up with this name and gone ‘oh I like how that sounds’ #and never examined her subconscious reasons for thinking so #on the other hand #the name literally breaks down into ram and grail #kinda feels too obvious to be an accident #aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh #celias journey #wordbuilding #<- this tag is so sporadic as to be useless but whatever #let there be light

[professorlegaspi]

ALSO?? Maddie’s mom set off the red flash when she tried to grab Celia - something that previously had only happened when a Desert Knight tried to actively kidnap her?? Like, it’s probably safe to say Maddie’s mom meant Celia actual bodily harm. Wtf

You know what? I have not forgiven Maddie’s parents for how they treated Celia in Flash of Red.

She was a young girl who had just lost her best friend and didn’t know what to do. They were not only immensely immature about it, but potentially gave her trauma by implying it was her fault.

It was beyond inappropriate, and their excuse of disliking her family members only makes me more mad. She was a thirteen year old ORPHAN. She didn’t even know her family member’s names. Like oh my god they were such assholes

#I forgot how much I hated them #never forgive never forget #like honestly how could they #they have 4 children #it’s really heinous is this how she treats her own kids? #the hannagan family

[professorlegaspi]

Melissa Gunther naming the first chapter of the book “Flash of Red” as “Blue” was pretty funny tbh

Renasci really overlooked a major money maker by not having a merch shop. They could be making some serious cash selling coterie sweatshirts and notebooks and whatever else

#Professor Twombly gave Celia lion earrings for her birthday and I’m just saying #she probably had to get those on Etsy #whereas her paycheck could go right back to the school if they set up shop #Professor Twombly IS an Etsy shopper. this I know deep in my heart #celias journey
