Katniss never really knew just how big menace she was to Snow.

In a new fucked up way, Snow truly believed he “owned” Lucy Gray once again, because he was the only person left that truly remembered her.

But then Katniss sang Lucy Gray’s song in her meadow, turned it into a hymn of the second rebellion, and unknowingly freed her from Snow’s grasp.

Lucy Gray plays a part in Snow’s downfall, The Hanging Tree becomes immortalized in history.

She no longer dies with him.

Props to Suzanne Collins for having some throw away line in one of the first chapters of The Hunger Games about there only ever having been two victors from district 12 and then never mentioning who the one was besides Haymitch and then writing a book ten years later all about who that first victor was with leaving us with just enough doubt about her fate… now that is good writing

what can I even say about this moment? it’s such an Edenic snapshot of peace, and childlike playfulness too (lying in the sun, the apple game, the flower crown) … the way that they don’t have to be doing any of this, the way it isn’t an act, all the physical and emotional closeness … they choose to spend what they think are their last hours enjoying the intimacy of each other’s friendship … if this isn’t romance … I don’t know what is

I just finished re-listening to The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and wow, she didn’t even try to make Coriolanus Snow likable hey?

Suzanne Collins sat down like Here is the story of how a trash boy became an even trashier man! Read it!

it’s always really funny when people say the books portray Peeta as too kind or too wonderful or that he shouldn’t be the representation of hope and rebirth and renewal and all things good in the world. i always wanna ask if the person saying this is aware that the narrator of the story is literally in love with him.

like of course she’s biased. that’s her husband of over twenty years.

Sometimes I think about how Peeta recognized that Katniss had chosen Gale after his whipping, and never brought it up to her. Never pressured her about what that meant for them. Never made her feel guilty or held the threat of the Capitol to keep up their romance over her. And instead he kept up the act when he needed to in front of Peacekeepers and cameras, and otherwise took care of her and kept her company when she couldn’t walk and helped her on a family project and brought her cheese buns. And then I cry.

I think about this a lot, too. In most of Catching Fire, Peeta is like, I’ll be there for Katniss in whatever capacity she wants me. If she wants him to keep his distance and just be a friend, he’d be that and won’t even flirt with her. If she wants him to stay in her bed and comfort her until she falls asleep, he’d do that and won’t even question anything.

Imagine if Katniss asks Gale to stay in her bed, Gale would be like, “What are we? What are we? What are we?”

Peeta does whatever he can to make her happy and comfortable and doesn’t assume things when he actually SHOULD ask questions. Like he should ask her why she’s staring at his lashes when he’s drawing, but he doesn’t. If he asked whether Katniss wants him to be more affectionate with her after the QQ announcement, she’d be like, YES! She’s grudging about him not touching her, she just doesn’t say it out loud.

But Peeta doesn’t ask her questions, he only does what is asked of him. When he thinks Katniss has decided she doesn’t need him as anything other than a friend, he doesn’t question anything.

He breaks my heart on a daily basis just by being selfless.

lettersfrompanem:

Gale thinking that Finnick could be remotely in love with Katniss is so funny like💀 bruh, he has to be literally sedated whenever he thinks about Annie being tortured by the Capitol.

And Katniss? She has to be put to sleep whenever she even grasps the faintest idea of the Capitol hurting Peeta.
