Since I First Heard About Sunrise On The Reaping, I Keep Remembering When Katniss Is Watching The 50th

Since I first heard about Sunrise on the Reaping, I keep remembering when Katniss is watching the 50th Quarter Quell, and she says that the scenery is so beautiful that even Haymitch, who has been scowling the whole time, can't help but smile. It gave me such a visceral feeling... Haymitch, 16, looking out on those butterfly fields where 47 people are to die, and they're beautiful. So beautiful.

I really hope that part stays in SotR

writers be like; anyone gonna write this story? and then not wait for an answer. and then not write it either

Different things Peeta could say upon Gales return to twelve post epilogue (non serious/funny options only):

“It’s… Dale right?” “Gale” “Dale! Yep, that’s what I said”

“I’m sorry, I don’t have any change” “What-“ “there’s a soup kitchen down the road!”

“We do NOT need a new vacuum cleaner.” *slams front door*

“Do I know you from anywhere?” “It’s me. You know me.” “Don’t! Don’t tell me, just give me a sec” “Peeta…” “are you in adult entertainment?”

“I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times. Yes, I have heard of our lord and saviour Jesus Christ, and no, I do not wanna hear more about him! Goodbye!”

“You look a little big for a Boy Scout.”

(Image Gale shows up in a soldiers uniform or something) “I served my time, you’re not recruiting me into any damn army.”

“You’re too old to be mowing lawns for money, maybe it’s time for a real job?”

“Oh no, I didn’t know daycare could call the army on people!”

“You’re not the baby sitter…”

So I'm beta reading for someone right now and who was going to tell me it's this fun! I get to be the hype squad IN THE ACTUAL DOCUMENT!!

And it's a second draft so the only major notes I need to leave are for pacing/character arcs, which, HELLO that's my favorite part.

The story is already so good. I'm just loving being a tiny little part of someone else's writing journey and getting a behind the scenes look at their brilliance.

Agh this is the best!

”I’m scared to write because what if the story fails” DO IT ANYWAY. EITHER IT WILL BE A SUCCESS OR YOU CAN TRY AGAIN BUT WRITE IT ANYWAY. DO IT CONFIDENTLY OR DO IT SCARED BUT BELIEVE IN YOURSELF YOU HAVE UNLIMITED ATTEMPTS TO GET IT RIGHT

The Hunger Games has the FUNNIEST arranged marriage of all time btw. Katniss realizes she'll have to marry Peeta and she's obviously upset so Haymitch tries to comfort her by saying "you could do a lot worse" and Katniss is like "well DUH of course I could do worse than Peeta he's the best & handsomest person on the face of the planet but that's not the POINT I want to be able to choose for MYSELF". Then she goes and chooses Peeta anyway lol. Comedy gold I tell you
