""It's almost as bad as us and the berries!" I can't help laughing, really laughing, for the first time in months. Peeta just shakes his head like I've lost my mind, and maybe I have a little. "Almost, but not quite," says Haymitch from behind." - Catching Fire, page 202
""I just don't know. But I do know. You need someone different from me." "No, Haymitch, we need someone exactly like you." "Just luckier?" I ask." - Sunrise on the Reaping, page 376
okay but Haymitch watched Snow die in the exact same spot he laid Louella's body down twenty-five years ago
do you think he thought of his sweetheart as he watched Katniss walk towards Snow? do you think he imagined Louella's little face when he saw Katniss raise her bow? and how her murderer was justly killed in the place she died?
Haymitch seeing clips of Lucy Gray singing the ballad of lucy grey baird. Burdock singing the old therebefore at the funeral. Lenore Dove getting arrested for singing the hanging tree. Haymitch singing the goose and the common in the arena. Katniss singing to Rue during her games. Haymitch singing to the other tributes in his games.
Oh brother...
I think sotr did a fabulous job at showcasing that they really had been waiting decades for the opportunity to rebel.
If the timing had been right, Haymitch could have been the Mockingjay. But it just wasn't right yet. The districts weren't ready.
And honestly I really loved the messaging that sometimes these things take patience in order for them to truly pay off
I really wish I knew why sunrise on the reaping devastated me so much. I'm not one to cry at books and movies. And I can confidently say I have never cried during a hunger games book until now.
I didn't cry when rue died, nor finnick, nor prim. I didn't cry at any of it
I have never cried at the hunger games franchise until sotr. I was bawling like a baby. There were tears down my cheeks and I was loudly sobbing. I could barely even speak to my sister because of how uncontrollably I was crying.
And it's not even like I relate to any of it. I think there was something just so profoundly tragic about it all. One thing is for sure, it definitely touched me more than any other book or moment in the series.
I like to think that after the war ended Haymitch told Katniss and Peeta everything he knew about the Covey.
And then maybe Everlark gave their children Covey names, in order to keep Katniss' heritage alive. Maybe they named their children after a poem and a color, leaving a part of Lucy Gray and Lenore Dove alive.
*screaming as I'm dragged away* THE HARGREEVES SIBLINGS LOVE EACH OTHER. THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY IS STRONG AND LOYAL. FIVE LOVES DIEGO AND DELORES. FIVE MAKES UP ANY REASON TO SEE HIS BELOVED NIECES, CLAIRE AND GRACE. LUTHER AND SLOANE ARE HAPPY. FIVE NEVER BECAME A FUCKING CIA AGENT. LILA AND DIEGO LOVE THEIR LIVES AND CHILDREN. ALLISON AND VIKTOR NEVER GREW APART. UMBRELLA BEN IS OUT THERE SOMEWHERE.
I think it's crazy that Eren, a man, can kill 80% of the world's population and yet so many people will still defend him with everything they got.
But Gabi, a woman, can kill one person for reasons that are honestly understandable and be very apologetic about it but still everyone will hate her so much.

My sister and I maintain to this day that the most logical portrayal of time travel in fiction (that we know of) is an episode of my little pony: friendship is magic. We were talking about the logistics of time travel and naturally the mlp episode came up in the conversation. And then my sister said "Five Hargreeves should watch that episode."
And now I cannot stop thinking of the image of Five Hargreeves sitting on the couch with popcorn and candy, watching my little pony.
omg wait is it the episode where twilight thinks something terrible is going to happen but then completes the loop by trying to tell her past self not to worry? (five would commentate the HECK out of that episode-)
It is that episode! I was hoping someone would get both references!

yk what fuck blackman for giving into the idea that hopelessness was the answer. what if we chose to keep going. what if we stayed around because of our love for each other. what if family was the key to making it out alive
and fuck him for giving into the idea that the only way to move past childhood trauma is to erase it and literally surrender to death. What if we chose to accept that as a part of our past in order to move towards a better and brighter future? What if dysfunctional siblings realized their love for each other out weights any damage done by their abusive father? What if we didn't let our lives and deaths be ruled by trauma?
