The idea of Peeta and Katniss slowly becoming more socially disconnected with the people they had to pretend to be before and during the war.
A new generation of kids are born, and maybe they’re taught something of what happened before their time, but maybe they’re too young to have learned about it in school. Or maybe, they just didn’t care too much to remember, maybe they’ve just never seen pictures of The Mockingjay. Or maybe Katniss has outgrown the image of that scared 17-year-old girl.
Whichever way it is, the kids don’t know, and don’t really care. When people come in from across the country, asking where they could meet “The Mockingjay”, the adults ignore them.
When they ask a kid, they just blink. “Who?”
“Katniss Everdeen.” They might try.
These kids have never heard of a Katniss Everdeen. And besides, their parents told them never to talk to weird strangers!! They run away, and go to tell Mrs. Mellark about the weird person they met.

Curious about what everyones headcannons are for an alternate universe where the rebellion didn't happen and quarter quell hadn't reaped the previous Victors. What would Katniss and Peeta's lives have been like in the Capitol and as mentors? How many kids would they be expected/forced to have? Would Finnick and Annie still end up having a son? What would Prims future look like? When would the "this would have happened anyways" moment take place if they'd still been forced to marry and perform for the Capitol/entire country? So many what ifs

Quick clip of a later scene from Nikolai’s POV! Spoilers for THG with Nikolai Lantsov if you haven’t started
Tumblr media
Laying there, on the ground, he remembers.
As the sky seems to break above him, strange explosions filling the sky of the arena, as fire burns in the distance and smoke singes his nose, as your body grips his own weakly, a warm sensation in his abdomen growing stronger by the second.
He remembers.
You.
It was before you’d ever kissed him. Before he’d ever tried. At a Capitol party during the Christmas season the two of you found yourselves at a gala, the entire place decorated like a winter wonderland. Your dress had been white then—or was it silver? The blood loss is making it difficult to remember but—
—yes. He remembers.
You’d worn tiny crystals in your hair, long and unbound, one hand clasped in Jem’s, the other in Xiomara’s. The two women of your prep team screeched with laughter, the three of you sounding like tropical birds as you spun wildly to what was meant to be a slow dance in the middle of the ballroom floor.
Other members of the Capitol had watched in shock, then amusement, then pure delight as you laughed, head tipped back, a wide grin on your gorgeous face as you danced with your prep team. Your friends. The only girls in the Capitol you considered family.
Nikolai remembers leaning against the wall, trapped in a conversation with well-meaning Capitol men, his eyes locked on you. You’d glanced over, just once, and the joy on your face hit him like a knife to the heart. Oh, you. He’d thought. How could he have ever deluded himself into thinking he wasn’t yours?
How had he not realized he loved you?

thinking about how the hunger games were designed to prove that without society, order, government, someone to rule, we devolve into little more than animals, and how the games themselves prove over and over again that this is not true. We see it in every single game we witness.
Katniss placing flowers around Rue's body in the arena. Thresh sparing Katniss because she was kind to Rue, even though he was making it that much harder for himself to win.
Haymitch going back for Maysilee after hearing her scream even though their alliance had been broken. Haymitch holding her as she dies the same way Katniss did Rue.
Coral's "I can't have killed them all for nothing" when she realizes she's not going home. Lamina cutting down Marcus at great personal risk. And, my favorite moment in tbosas, Reaper collecting the bodies of his fellow tributes, his peers, even the ones who tried to kill him, into a pile. Taking the weapons from their hands. Closing their eyes and crossing their arms in the best approximation of a proper burial he can manage, covering them with the Capitol flag as a makeshift shroud.
The Games bring out the worst in people, yes. But despite the extreme circumstances, despite the exterior pressure of the Capitol, despite the fact that it could mean pain and heartbreak and death, it also shows that people have an enormous capacity for goodness. That even in a situation purposefully designed to make empathy impossible, people can't help but have it anyway.
Snow looks at the Games and all he can see is what's inside himself-- this pure animalistic drive to conquer and defeat. He kills and it feels good and he thinks that everyone else must feel that way too. He doesn't realize (maybe can't realize) that he is the exception, not the rule. He cannot see outside himself, outside his own warped perspective, to realize that the fact that people do show humanity in the games proves his entire worldview wrong.

what makes Snow such a formidable villain within THG universe is that nothing he does was set in stone. there was no sense of inevitability about his actions and his brutality. Snow had enough perspective of poverty, capital cruelty, district hunger and not to mention his own arena experience’ and yet he actively chose at every moment to stray from natural goodness. its even more terrifying in the sense that he had the ability to care. Snow is not a mindless sociopath, he displays feelings to others such as sejanus, lucy grey and tigris but ultimately he will always choose himself. his ability to betray those he cared about in order yo advance himself makes him so much more than the stereotypical villain who is forced into his actions.

I think the most radical thing the hunger games does is tell young people that the most revolutionary thing you can do is have unconditional love for humanity. Katniss throughout the entire series is guided by a deep sense of compassion for the people around her. It is what causes her to volunteer, to bury rue, to mercy kill cato, its why she tries to save peeta, why finnick telling her to remember who the real enemy is works, and even though her compassion for the larger world falters when peeta is kidnapped, it comes back when she visits hospitals and asks for mercy for other victors and ultimately, it is love and belief in a better humanity that makes her kill coin. Through it all, she maintains an unfaltering belief in the fundemental goodness of humanity, which is diametrically opposed to dr gaul's and snow's worldview. Peeta is even more unwaveringly compassionate
So the series tells young people that the most revolutionary thing you can be is compassionate. Let compassion drive your politics. Let yourself believe in the fundemental goodness of people. And i think that's deeply important in a world that touts the superiority of pure reason or logic, to allow yourself to be guided by something as emotional as compassion. Katniss everdeen tells us that your politics should be rooted in compassion in a world that thinks detatchment or cynicism is intelligence and i think thats v cool

suzanne collins is such a genius... the cultural phenomenon of her series leading to the hanging tree house remixes, mockingjay being milked for two (bad) movies, the capitol-inspired makeup palettes, the halloween costumes, the explosion of the market for dystopia, the butchering of her characters and removal of disabilities, disfiguration, and racial tension + representation to sell more tickets, the extra gale scenes to fuel discourse, and the audience showing up to cinemas to watch what was pretty honestly marketed to them (the jacob vs edwardification of the symbolic love story and also to watch children fight to the death) it's just so ridiculously ironic i would say you can't write this shit, but she did write about it... in The Hunger Games published 2008

Now when I reread The Hunger Games series, I’m going to be giggling and kicking my feet every time something pops up that I know triggers Snow. Because once you read TBOSAS, you realize it’s literally EVERYTHING. Katniss’s name. Her mockingjay pin. Her singing. Where she’s from. Her falling for a blond boy. Her entire existence is torture for him. We don’t know if Lucy Gray lived or died, but she sure as hell lived on in Snow’s memory. She haunted him until the day he died.
