The significance of Haymitch's Games as the initial spark for the rebellion cannot be overstated. Katniss, unburdened by the propaganda that likely followed after Haymitch's play with the forcefield, saw right through this as an act of rebellion.

Haymitch is the starting point, the sunrise, for the plotting behind the scenes. Plutarch must have seen the Games in some shape or form as an impressionable young adult. The arena is, despite what the Capitol itself believes, a place lacking control. Aired live, a tribute can act in ways that the Capitol finds undesirable, with only minimal chances to interfere.

Haymitch's Games are the starting and reference point for Plutarch's plan. It is no surprise that he had been searching for another tribute to lead his campaign in an attempt to repeat Haymitch's efforts under better conditions—conditions he, no longer a young professional, had the power to control.

Perhaps most evident of this parallel is Plutarch's usage of the forcefield as the final act of destruction. Hovercrafts can pass through at any time. Even if the passing through was controlled elsewhere, Head Gamemaker Heavensbee entering and exiting the arena at a moment of crisis is an innocuous action. This begs the question on whether the destruction of the forcefield was truly necessary, or if it had been a signal for all of Panem that the arena was no more, and a symbol for where it all had started—a boy that had used the forcefield against the Capitol.

I know I said I’m not writing rn, but note to self, the Capitol has tribute player cards so children can stage their own hunger games at home.

The urge to create art and write the stories trapped in my head VS the slow ache of doing nothing at all because starting is hard sometimes.

Nightwing: "We'll have to talk to Agent A, but it shouldn't be a problem."

Flash: "'Agent A'? Who's that? And why do you need to ask their permission? Batman's right here."

Nightwing: "You don't actually think Batman's in charge, do you?"

Flash: "What?"

Nightwing: "We can get away with upsetting B, but we'd all rather die than upset A. It's why their names like that, by the way. A's in charge, B's just the public figure."

Batman: "That's not true and you know it,"

Nightwing: "You gonna look me in the eye and say that?"

Batman: "..."

Nightwing: "That's what I thought."

New idea: instead of writing the fic, you come over to my house and I tell you the entire plot while I pace my tiny kitchen. There’s a cup of tea, warm in your hands. The words don’t stop and the affection never leaves your expression.
