Call me stupid for just realizing but do you think the reason Prim adored Buttercup so much was because despite it's scraggly torn up mean appearance, it was protective and loving of her the same way Katniss was?

Do you think that's why Katniss hated Buttercup and the feeling was mutual? Because they were alot alike?

Thinking about post 74th hunger games. Not during the time covered in Catching Fire, I mean IMMEDIATELY once Katniss and Peeta have returned home.

Things are so so different. Prim’s sister comes back, back after weeks of watching those screens with fear. But she’s different. Shes different in so many ways. Do you think the first night she’s back, Prim sleeps in the same bed like they did before the reaping.

Peeta doesn’t live with his family in Catching Fire, but it’s mentioned he visits them. What about when he came home. Would he ever even come home, or did he immediately go to his new victor’s house. Do you think his brothers understood if he left without saying anything.

Prim's name wasn't the only one in the reaping bowl because the entire point of Prim being chosen is to show that life in Panem is random and cruel. These kids truly are selected and die for nothing, based on nothing, most of the time. There is often no grand cosmic plan or 4D chess conspiracy at play in awful circumstances unfolding, just systems of oppression working as they were designed. And you can do everything right to the letter - be the youngest eligible tribute from an unknown family whose name is only in the bowl once, not take out any tesserae - but it still won't save you.

#erin is talking #the hunger games #primrose everdeen #d12 and the everdeens themselves are operating in an individualist 'hope and pray they choose another kid' mentality #and an 'if you do everything right you'll be safe' mentality #but there is no 'safe' from people who want you dead. that's the point. any 'safety' prim had was ALWAYS an illusion

[periwinckles]

If there was no rebellion, and Katniss succeeded in her plans for the quarter quell, Peeta would have been the victor.

Which means, she would have died, and her mother and Prim would have lost privilege, the money and the house.

Why would Katniss risk Prim's safety (and her mother as well), something that was always her driving force, to save Peeta's life?

Because she knew he would have taken care of them.

Book 1 we see Katniss asking Gale to take care of her family.

Book 2 we see Katniss assuming Peeta would take care of them, without even asking.

and it’s funny to see people say that prim’s death happened for “no reason.” because it’s almost like…… war of any kind inevitably causes the senseless death of thousands. and it doesn’t mean anything. yes, prim died for no reason, and that was the point.

coin only ever cared about power, it was thinly veiled as a pursuit for justice. she was fine with innocent children dying if it meant citizens would think the blood was all on snow’s hands. pair this with gale’s weapon, and the fact that prim happened to be on the front lines, and bam. innocent, senseless deaths.

that’s from an emotional standpoint, though. from a narrative standpoint, prim’s death actually DID make sense. just as rue’s death served as the catalyst that convinced katniss to die by nightlock (the act that began the rebellion), prim’s death was the catalyst that forced katniss to confront coin’s true colors. now, katniss knew that coin was really no different from snow. it all went in a circle. the rebellion started because of katniss’s love for prim, and the rebellion was won because of that same love.

and on a final note: prim’s death was foreshadowed by her name alone. a primrose is a flower that wilts shortly after blooming.

TikTok renaming Gale as The Prim Reaper is the best thing to happen in 2023

no you guys don’t get it; it’s so bad on tiktok. everyone on there is so insistent that foxface purposefully killed herself with the berries solely based off the two second clip in the movie (which wasn’t even identifying edible plants it was literally just matching).

like…… the whole point with foxface from the beginning was not to overestimate your competitors. when she talks about cato and foxface in the same passage she explicitly states that it’s just as dangerous to overestimate who you’re facing. in that she was thinking about how she might be overestimating cato’s intelligence, but then foxface goes and does the same with peeta. katniss constantly talked about how smart she was. she had made it to the final four solely off of taking from others just to keep herself alive. she had been doing it the entire games, but she trusted that peeta knew the berries he was grabbing. she probably didn’t even check to see what they looked like, because let’s be real. district five’s industry was ELECTRICITY. do you really think someone from the power district knows anything about edible plants? she saw the berries with the cheese and took some to fuel herself. because she assumed katniss and peeta were literally about to eat them. why on earth would she kill herself when she was three people away from winning? and if she knew they were poisonous and assumed katniss and peeta were about to eat them, she would’ve been final two. she could’ve waited for them to eat the berries, take katniss’s bow and arrows, and she would’ve had at least a fighting chance against cato. not to mention all the other districts HATE THE CAREERS. if she knew they were poisonous, decided to kill herself, and assumed katniss and peeta were going to eat them, that would’ve left cato as victor. there was no one else. she did not know they were poisonous. she overestimated peeta’s intelligence. it’s saying being stupid is dangerous for everyone.

the only stories that ever pulled off the “chosen one girl rebelling against the government caught in a love triangle between a golden-hearted boy and a broody loner” trope were the hunger games and jesus christ superstar

The way Katniss never reciprocated Gale's feelings. The only times she expressed ANY sort of romantic interest was their first kiss Gale sprung on her but that could be interpretated as adrenaline rush.

Anytime she kisses him, it's out of pity or guilt. Any time he confesses feelings to her, it's indifference forced to hide because of guilt.

She loves him, she does, but never romantically. She thought of him as her best friend and tried her best to keep their friendship but his feelings and her lack of, along with the difference in morals shown in the war, made it impossible to preserve.

In the end, this causes Prim's death in a way and destroys their friendship in the end.

it lowkey pisses me off when people say Snow hates Katniss just because she reminds him of Lucy Gray

cause like.. no. he hates her because everything she does is a painful reminder that he had a choice.

when she pulled out those berries, he hated that she would rather die with Peeta than leave him behind for a life of glory and wealth.

whilst he was prepared to kill Lucy Gray for the same result.

when she volunteered in her sisters place at the reaping, he hated that she would rather die than leave her sister behind.

because he’d never do the same for Tigris, even though he arguably “owed” Tigris more than Katniss did Primrose.

when she stepped in to stop commander Thread during Gale’s whipping, he hated that she would rather put herself in the crossfire than let him die.

because he had every opportunity to, but he would never do the same for Sejanus. instead he sent him to his grave.

throughout the entire book Snow keeps choosing money and power over love, and throughout the entire book he tries to gaslight himself into thinking he didn’t have a choice.

Katniss’s actions to some extent forced him to confront his own choices. they forced him to realise that if he hadn’t acted the way he did, he could’ve still had the people he loved by his side.

then there’s the obvious thing with her you know, making the gamemakers and the regime look stupid and well, becoming the unwilling symbol of a rebellion but shh
