#(hunger games comes to mind)

[malinaa]

if i think about the hunger games in peeta's perspective i WILL start sobbing

#imagine you're a boy who's going to die. you're in love with the girl you've been watching from afar. you know your fate. #you just want to help her‚ but then there's the announcement and she's here in front of you‚ kissing you‚ risking her life for you and you #think‚ i could live and i could love. you think she loves you when she hands you the berries‚ when she puts them in her mouth. #then you both survive and you go back home and nothing is real anymore. you have nothing. no family. no friends. no love. just an empty #house. a drunk for a neighbor. the love of your life walking into somebody else's arms. you think‚ i survived the games. i could survive #this. and you also think‚ i should've bit down on those berries‚ should've felt the juice burst before i died. #and then the third quarter quell announcement rings in your ears and you think‚ she will live and i will die as i should have in the first #place. the girl you love kisses you on the beach and somewhere you heart stirs and your mind revolts and you savor every touch she has ever #given to you‚ in front of the cameras and off. because you are a tribute and you are always being watched and snow's presence looms and #you think‚ i know she cares. but you get taken. you get drugged. you get tortured‚ your mind altered. the girl is a mutt‚ a murderer. she's #everything you despise‚ your mind stirs. your heart revolts. you gain more awareness but cannot distinguish reality from fiction and you #have never known katniss' love. the war ends. you heal. you come home. you plant primrose for her. years down the line‚ you grow in love #more than you thought possible. but some days‚ you cannot tell fiction from reality so you ask the love of your life‚ you love me. #real or not real? and she says‚ real‚ and kisses you. #and you sigh and kiss her back and revel in this. a home. a life. a love. #lit #the hunger games #everlark #otp: real or not real? #katniss everdeen #peeta mellark #text #tais toi lys #thgpost

‘there are six gowns and each one requires its own headpiece, shoes, jewelry, hair, makeup, setting, and lighting. Creamy lace and pink roses and ringlets. Ivory satin and gold tattoos and greenery. A sheath of diamonds and jeweled veil and moonlight. Heavy white silk and sleeves that fall from my wrist to the floor, and pearls.’

it’s always really funny to me when people complain about katniss being “too masculine” or a “not like other girls” girl because she is… hardly even masculine i think. like… REALLY? the most masculine woman you can handle is KATNISS EVERDEEN? the small skinny short YA protagonist with long hair?? are you that scared of body hair

#where’s that tweet where that person got mad because they gave princess peach a different expression because it was “too masculine” #AND LIKE IM NOT SAYING KATNISS ISNT A TOMBOY #she is. she wears more masculine clothing in her free time and doesn’t shave or do her brows and shit but like #come on man #idk #the hunger games #katniss everdeen #i don’t post stuff like this much but after seeing another post it was on the mind #clock speaks ig

*ahem* For the love of GOD The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is not a love story.

People who interpret it as one...why? Did we read the same story?

#coming back to this blog with some spice #even though this shouldn't be a controversial opinion #argue with a wall #seeing all these edits like 🥺 poor coryo lost his love #do not infantilize him #he is a villian #and i love him for it #and you can ship him and Lucy #im not hating on that #but when it comes to the canon material ... i just lose my mind a little #coriolanus snow #lucy gray baird #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #tbosbas #tbosas #thg #the hunger games #sam is losing their sanity

okay not to hunger games post on main AGAIN but. i just know snow was shitting his pants every single day of the 74th hunger games and that’s what makes the theories that prim was preselected or the capitol was watching katniss so dumb because snow spent 60 years literally gaslighting himself into believing that he killed lucy gray and no one remembered her. and in those 60 years only one (1) tribute from district 12 won the hunger games. so of course he’d gotten comfortable and really believed that even though he still didn’t know what happened to lucy gray, even in district 12 they don’t know or care about her. but then some random 12 year old gets reaped in district 12 and her sister volunteers for her. and her sister’s name is katniss, which of course he knows is kind of a desperate, starving person’s sort of plant in district 12, because lucy gray told him about it, but that’s just a coincidence. she DOES kind of remind him of her, but that’s probably just because they both have dark hair and they’re both from district 12 and she really made an impact at the reaping. but then she allies herself with the little girl from district 11 who has no chance of winning, so she’s not just using rue as a means to an end, she really cares about her. and then when rue dies, she sings the meadow song as she covers her body with flowers. and the meadow song, well, that was one of lucy gray’s songs, and he didn’t think anyone still knew any of lucy gray’s songs. and then she fucking WINS, and everyone in the capitol loves her and peeta and prim, and at the crowning ceremony she’s wearing a mockingjay pin, and of course she couldn’t possibly know what it means to him, and when he compliments it she says “thank you. it’s from my district.” and that’s just in the hunger games! not even to mention that the symbol of the districts’ revolution is a mockingjay, and katniss becomes that symbol, and eventually it is lucy gray’s mockingjay that takes him down.

like lucy gray’s impact fr. he DID succeed in erasing her, no one in district 12 remembers her, but they do remember the songs and the birds, and snow realizes that he could never fully erase her. probably anyone in district 12 could tell you about the mockingjays.

#and that’s the POINT like. he tried to kill her and the mockingjays but didn’t realize how much of her story would become a part of district #12 culture. probably anyone from the seam could’ve known the meadow song or the hanging tree. he has NO WAY of knowing. #he did just so happen to get katniss but in his mind theoretically if katniss and peeta and haymitch know about the mockingjay #who else in district 12 does??? #and i didn’t even get into sejanus and everything!!!! #it’s soooo greek tragedy……. the woman he loved and his best friend that he thought he had destroyed every trace of #are the ones that come back to haunt him in the revolution. #his fate is set from the first moment he’s assigned to lucy gray! #i love it. #sorry this is so long #peyton.txt #the hunger games #the ballad of songbirds and snakes

spoilers for tbosas ahead

the thing that makes me so sick about songbirds and snakes is that throughout the hunger games portion of the book snow is just riddled with this jealousy and fear that sejanus is going to usurp him and take his place like some kind of imposter when in reality sejanus has no intent to do anything of the sort he is literally just trying to survive and navigate his newfound batshit circumstances in which he finds himself surrounded by some evil ass people

and then in the end it’s snow that ends up sliding neatly into the gap that sejanus’s death left. snow is the one who basically became the plinth’s foster son (for lack of a better term) even after he was indirectly (or, let’s be real, definitely directly) responsible for sejanus being hanged in the first place. and i don’t think he even planned for things to happen that way, but when the opportunity arose he just didn’t even see anything ironic or wrong or fucked up about that. he was just like “neato” and became a dictator

#tbosas spoilers #the ballad of songbirds and snakes spoilers #tbosas #the hunger games #thg #coriolanus snow #sejanus plinth #this is just one of the many examples of how deeply fucked up of a person snow is #ofc he’s like what a horrible thing to happen to someone when HE is the one it’s happening to #but as soon as ma plinth comes knocking at his door and is like #we conveniently need a new heir #he has no remorse about doing the very thing he thought was sejanus’s goal from the beginning #and said goal was one of the main reasons he didn’t like or trust sejanus #even tho sejanus was actually just a Normal guy #and doesn’t scheme to screw people over all day every day like someone else that comes to #mind #fuck snow

You know how like I made uhm.. Katniss and Peeta's tribute designs and posted them here? If you haven't seen it, feel free to go check it out. It's probably buried with other random THG and other THG stuff I find on here. Anyways, the reason why I'm sharing this is because you guys are more than welcome to use the designs. Sure I somewhat created them but at the same time, I didn't. I used some movie elements for the designs sooo... Yeah.. you guys can use them. Go ahead.. I don't mind I'm curious to see your artworks with using the designs.

#the hunger games #katniss everdeen #peeta mellark #everlark #thg #katniss and peeta #you guys can use my character designs i don't mind it at all #feel free #i was in a fan base the httyd fandom and it wasnt the friendliest when it comes to designs they would just freak out and cancel you #that was just my experience not everyone has the same experience ya know #have fun using my designs if you're interested in using them my fellow hunger games fanartists and fans

Wait another wizard 101 sufferer? Another lost soul sucked into the world's most entertaining grind-game? Another victim of the binge purge cycle where you want to do nothing but play followed by several months of just not caring? Another nostalgia-driven casual gamer reminiscing about when pvp was fun and not a toxic wasteland? Another with several dozen people in their friends list they wish to log in just once more when the binge purge cycles align?

oh i was a club penguin enjoyer. are u okay though

#????? is this because i mentioned wizard 101 as a joke on catmasks post???? i forgot about that #but if we're talking abt binge playing smth followed by several months of gutwrenching emptiness and nostalgia driven reminiscence #the only thing that comes to mind is minecraft PE hunger games. nothing else comes close to the blind rage and bloodshed #i remember seeing those chumps who bought premium with the gold podium and diamond axe before the game starts bc i would go #straight for their throats before they knew what hit them and then id have a diamond axe for the rest of the game LOL #ive. never actually played wizard 101 my brother just sends me shitposts abt it so its the first thing i thought of trying to be funny #sorry if i got your hopes up 😔 id give u my penguins friend code but. well #ask #yapping #answered

this review for the ballad of songbirds and snakes is going to be critical so if you loved this book and don't want to see that critique then you are welcome to skip this post. im willing to have civil conversation and im also very willing to hear other points of views bc i love discussing books (and who knows! maybe someone could change my mind) BUT if you're at all going to be nasty and/or take it personally, then you will likely be blocked.

im gonna be so honest... the ballad of songbirds and snakes was a decent book. but. i don't think it actually added anything to the overall story. it added some perspective, maybe, to how snow became snow but it also felt... pointless? i think if I'm going to get a villain origin story, i want it to make me feel conflicted, or at least somewhat understanding to how the villain turned out that way. i want it to show me the gray area. but this book just... didn't do it for me. none of it was surprising. and also, from the beginning, i didn't overall care that much to know what made him this way, because the end result was still the same, and nothing happened to change that feeling for me. bc the only way snow was interesting was how he was as the villain. there was nothing beyond that to interest me, and i think that's what this book was trying to use as the draw. and moreover, to expand on my opinion that it didn't add to the series: i think it relied solely on easter eggs from the original trilogy to make you think it was adding anything. like "see, look at this reference i made! doesn't it remind you of the original books?" idk. like i said, it's a DECENT book on it's own. the writing is good, the story itself isn't bad--it just also gives you no reason to invest in the main character, and i think to some degree that's something that's supposed to draw you into a book. and like i mentioned, nothing surprised me. i saw all of it coming. i predicted every twist before it happened. which isn't always a bad thing! but i was also mostly underwhelmed when the twists DID happen. i was hesitant to read this book in the first place, hence why im only reading it now after the movie release bc my partner wants to see it, and honestly? im not feeling like i gained anything from the experience. i had fun reading it bc, again, it's written fairly well, but at the end of it, im just feeling.... meh.

(spoilers ahead in this paragraph only) i at first thought the only thing it added was why snow dislikes the mockingjays but the more i consider it, it didn't really even add that much either. he was just creeped out by them??? hmm.... (unless, and this might be reaching, he hated the mockingjays bc they showed him his true feelings about lucy??? there's a line about how he was getting tired of her music and maybe the fact that the mockingjays repeated music instead of voice, like the jabberjays (which he had no problem with) was like... his true feelings coming through? I'll have to sit with that and see what i think)

i will say, the parallels between characters in this book and the original trilogy are interesting and i will enjoy seeing those analyses but, again, i don't really feel like it added anything. i still think snow would have done the exact same things without them. because he never ACTUALLY cared about anyone at all, except for how he could use them. how they made him look.

if anyone is interested in a star rating, i gave it 3/5 bc the reading experience was relatively enjoyable, and the writing itself was good imo, and as a stand alone story it was not bad but also not excellent. it was all "just okay". and im trying to rate this as it's own story, not as part of of the whole. however, it being part of that whole is what makes me feel so let down

#text post #the hunger games #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #also the way i rate things may be different than you so if you read my take and think i rated it too high just keep that in mind #if i had a good time reading it i usually end up giving it 3 stars even if i don't think it's perfect #< unless the book has actually glaring problems in how it presented or handled things #also before someone comes at me saying i set myself up for failure bc of my low expectations going in: #if im going into a book like this and im skeptical i still ALWAYS hope for best and give it every shot to prove me wrong #it just didn't this time

Saw a tik tok saying Gale was a ‘pick me’ and can I just say- BITCH WHAT. The tik tok was about how he ‘literally said he wishes he could be in more pain so Katniss would love him🙄’ ……WHAT. He said she only notices him when he’s in pain- NOT THAT HE WANTS TO BE IN MORE FOR ATTENTION. This was so cleARLY pointed at KATNISS, who was struggling with her feelings. Gale pointed out something OBVIOUS. Katniss only wanted him when he was in pain because she loved him and couldn’t stand seeing him like that, which got confused as potentially other more ‘romantic’ feelings for him. Katniss is a protector, this is made clear from the BEGINNING. FROM THE FIRST PAGE OF THE SERIES. So this way of thinking makes perfect sense for her even if she doesn’t get it for a while herself. Anyways. Gale wasn’t a pick me. Some of y’all need to think of him as an actual person instead of listing as many horrible things about him as possible just because he was in a ‘love triangle’.

#I realize this post is very angry #and I might get some backlash for it…. #but oh well #no regrets #I’m tired of people being so single minded when it comes to gale smh #do i ship them? #hell no. #but Gale tried his best with what he was given #and was flawed #but he was her best friend #and ppl need to chill on the gale hate smh #thg gale #hunger games #katniss everdeen #the hunger games #thg #hunger games gale #gale hunger games #gale hawthorne #katniss and gale #thg katniss everdeen #thg gale hawthorn #thg series #im in my hunger games rant era #hunger games movies #the hunger games katniss #thg katniss #the hunger games gale #rereading thg has been both a blessing and a curse #thg mockingjay

on a somewhat personal note, does anyone experience that thing in which you can go back and still enjoy this one hyperfixation / phase from many years ago despite the fact that it was happening at one of your darkest periods in life but you very much found comfort in it yet you can't seem to regress back into another one that happened around the same time too because it also still holds some underlying trauma that takes you back to that time

#idk if this makes sense bc honest to god this is how i feel about the doctor who and thg ressurgence #you see i DEVOURED the hell out of the hunger games in middle school that i can still remember bits of how i felt when i read the trilogy #yet my mind and my heart (?) refuses to hyperfixate on it again #then there's doctor who....it was the one show that got me through so much as a teenager #and up until this day i still love talking about it and fondly recalling the memories i have #which is why i got ridiculously emotional over tennant and catherine tate coming back #but anyways yeah i'm probably overanalyzing myself and my feelings blah blah #maria rambles #personal #text

this guy loves games with multiple endings and a story that has tragedies in it

#some games that come to mind are: hollow knight. omori. ib. dungeons of fear and hunger. witch's house. #bonus points if the game has a Ton of lore and a well developed wiki that i can wiki-dive in
