#i miss my crows

Leigh Bardugo could write 13 books with the Crows as the main characters doing absolutely NOTHING with no real plot other than them hanging out and bickering with each other–and i would buy and rate 5 stars every single one of them.

i think one of the reasons Gale is so hated is because he is aged up in the movies. It is much harder to forgive or understand the actions of someone that looks like a 30 year old man than an 18 year old boy.

Things people don’t talk about enough from the Hunger Games:

Many of Katniss’ strongest allies are women that are over looked by others (Madge, Rue, Mags, Wiress)

While Katniss has a strained relationship with her mother, her mother is never demonized. Katniss recognizes the trauma her mother went through and was willing to try to improve their relationship in CF

The rebellion didn’t start with the berries. The rebellion started when Katniss showed compassion towards a dying, black girl that the world had already written off as unimportant

One of the beauty trends in the capitol that Katniss finds odd is the shaving of body hair. When her leg hair grows back in CF, she expresses comfort in it.

Katniss’ character arc throughout the series is her understanding of who the enemy is. It isn’t the rich people in district 12, or the other tributes, or the other districts, or the people in the capitol. It’s the government and it’s Snow.

Katniss never wanted another hunger games with the kids of the capitol. In that meeting she recognizes Coin’s commitment to perpetuating the cycle of violence. She votes in favor of it to cover her plans of killing Coin.

The violence in the books is SUPPOSED to feel random and unfair. Prim being reaped was supposed to be against all odds because in the real world, violence is indiscriminate.

Gale is a victim too and was not solely responsible for the death of Prim. He spent the first two books feeling helpless as he watched people he loved be put in danger and suffer. Coin offered him a way to regain control. At the end of the day, Gale is only 18 and doesn’t realize the depth of the games being played.

Katniss is great with kids and actually enjoys being around them. She says the only reason she doesn’t want them is because she can’t imagine them being put in the hunger games. Her having children in the epilogue is a sign of her healing and finally feeling safe

it’s me, i’m bitches

Every single person has had some kind of a crush on remus lupin. Whether it was a gay awakening, comphet, a single fleeting thought, idc. Every one of those bitches has at one point thought "eh yeah I'd kiss him"

distance makes the heart grow fonder, sometimes its just easier loving from afar

#as if soc isnt sad enough as it is #why would you do this to us

imagine a six of crows au where jordie survives, but kaz rietveld still dies in the harbor that day and jordie has to slowly watch his brother become a monster. Instead of kaz having to mourn his brother, he would resent him for ruining their lives and forcing him to become dirtyhands to support them. Although jordie didn’t die, they would both eventually lose a brother.
