If I see anyone justifying Snow's actions because he was traumatized I'm going to GUT THEM.

SotR is a realisation. A realisation that the rebellion didn’t start with Katniss. That all the people we see supporting her or helping her have all been wanting to fight but they’ve been failing. That there weren’t merely “rumours” of a revolution but there were many active plans playing out and failing.

It’s a reminder that the perfect Hunger Games we saw in the first hg book was an illusion because we had Katniss as our narrator. We didn’t have Haymitch, hell, we didn’t even have someone like Peeta because these people played the games. Katniss didn’t.

Katniss was introduced to us as a mad, simple, naive girl who literally only survived because of others. She didn’t know how much her taking Prim’s place mattered because she didn’t realise what it meant to everyone who came before her. To everyone who had heard rumours of how the last District 12 victor actually fought his games. No, Katniss had just kept her head down, hunting and providing for her family.

See, she grew up way before the Games got to her. She’d already lived through her dad’s death and watched it destroy her once lively mom. Haymitch didn’t have to go through that. Lucy Gray didn’t have to go through that. They were both angry, yes, but at the Capitol. Katniss? She was first and foremost angry at her mom. At her dad. She knew who was to blame but she had too much to do and deal with to think about that. She was already jaded in a way that the Games couldn’t touch.

Peeta? He was Haymitch. He knew what he was getting into and realised he was just on a chess board with no control. So, he adapted. He played the knight, the rook, the king, the pawn. Katniss? She just… did. Changing directions, not playing the piece she was assigned because she didn’t realise that’s what was going on. Remember her surprise at the crown twisting into two after the Games?? She was so oblivious. Until Catching Fire where everything caught up to her. Where everything so many other people had been waiting and working for caught up to her.

SotR is a history book. Rewritten and edited and published as a piece of fact. SotR is a mirror and it’s a reflection of what actually happens vs what ends up being shown. SotR is the playbook of those in control of any and every kind of media that we come in touch with. SotR is a wake up call and I truly don’t know how many will see it as such.

I’m not typically one for contributing to head-cannons, but I do have one for TBOSAS that I’m willing to stick by: Lucy Gray is the reason they have someone from the Capital read the names.

Snow saw what happened when the games were rigged to settle personal scores, and he knew exactly how the scales were tipped (Lucy Gray even stresses that the reaping was “bad business” instead of plain bad luck). I don’t think he would implement this change for any noble reason to stop this kind of infighting, but rather so any rigging was done on his part rather than left up to the people of the districts. No one else could have a last minute revenge like Lucy Gray to stand out or remind him of her.

In conclusion: Lucy Gray and the Mayor’s blatant rigging of the 10th reaping are why Effie and her predecessors had to come to 12 every year

Fuck man, this doomed underground city doesn’t have any good kebab joints

It's not called "The Marauders Map" because James and his group were called "The Marauders".

It's because it can be used BY a marauder.

LOOK AT THE APOSTROPHE PLACEMENT

A marauder is a person who raids...and this map shows you EVERY PLACE AT HOGWARTS, EVERY PERSON WITHIN IT AND WHAT THEYRE DOING

IT COULD BE USED TO 'RAID' A SPECIFIC PLACE AT HOGWARTS IDK

AKA USED FOR A MARAUDER.
