One Of The Biggest Pointers To The Idea That Snow Still Cared For Lucy Gray (in Some Way, Considering

One of the biggest pointers to the idea that Snow still cared for Lucy Gray (in some way, considering that I don’t believe he ever truly loved her - although that’s a conversation for another day) is that he left the Hob alone.

He knew it existed, knew there was a prolific black market in 12, and yet he didn’t try to shut it down until Katniss gave him reason to.

Perhaps he couldn’t bring himself to destroy the play Lucy Gray held so dearly. Perhaps he wondered if she was still there.

Or perhaps he didn’t think it was worth dealing with. As I’ve said before, I believe 12 still existed at that point primarily to be destroyed in the case of an uprising. Maybe he just didn’t want to bother.

And I think that’s what’s so interesting about his character - even after an entire book told from his perspective, it’s still so difficult to decipher what he really thinks and what’s part of his delusion.

I think something that truly shows Katniss’s character growth is her reaction to death

She says in THG that she used to double over in pain, wondering where her father has gone. In mockingjay, she collapses with Buttercup because she knows where Prim is.

Her father’s death gave her the ability to kill - it gives her the strength to hunt, both animals and people. Prim’s death gives her empathy for life as she cares for the cat she once tried to drown.

I think Prim’s death also shows what she is at her core - a caregiver. Prim kept her going after her father died since she had someone to look after - she only starts to properly process her feelings once she has Buttercup (named after another small yellow flower) to care for.

And that is Katniss’s problem. All throughout the series, she never lives for herself, only to care for others. And if that keeps her going, it’s enough. But I like to imagine that perhaps she learns to care and live for herself after the war.

@ashleyishere24 about Gale: Mans is really not all there in the head

Strawbee but with wings?!

I remember a while back when I still had time for Twitch streams and I was using my Strawbee png tuber, being asked if strawbee has wings and usually no, but today I thought what if he did.

And he's very bad at flying. Who let this twink fly!?

Listen. The Hunger Games - but they’re all English. Think about how funny that would be.

“I’ll fuckin shank ya bruv”

"I’ll chef you up fam”

"Oi, pussio, get back here"

"Piss off you bloody wanker"

The Owl House + Lumity + Hunger Games AU??? Idk LMAO I’m still on a THG kick after rereading/watching the whole trilogy!!

Some thoughts on the AU under the cut

Okay so this is a stupid idea but I’m just having fun with it. Obviously it won’t follow the hunger games directly because the situation and characters are different, but some stuff kinda connects!!

Katniss and Peeta= Luz and Amity

Prim & Ms Everdeen & buttercup = Vee and Camilla and King

The Mellarks = Odalia (fitting!), Alador, and Ed + Em (fits since both Peet and Ami have two older siblings). I don’t think they’d run a bakery though, but something abomination related that fits here.

Haymitch = Eda

Madge = Gus??

Gale = I’m afraid there’s no Gale equivalent here because it doesn’t make sense in this AU, and I’m not a fan of love triangles anyway.

Effie = Hooty. This is funny to me. the peak of my fanart career

Cinna and Portia = Darius and Eberwolf

Senecca Crane = Kiki

Snow = Belos obviously

Ceasar = Adrian

Plutarch = Raine

Finnick = Hunter

Annie or Johanna ish situation = Willow??

Coin = ummm either Lilith or Collector hm

Anyways I kept the human and witch ears because I thought that could be an interesting tie with the Merchants vs Seam. And Amity’s hair is fully green in the interview scene because she got her grown roots dyed during the makeover! In this scenario I imagine Odalia would make her children dye funky hair colours in hopes of getting into the ‘capitol’ equivalent, which I guess is the Emperors Coven.

Also instead of girl on fire, Luz would have some ‘light’ related title.
