The Amount Of Comfort Finnick And Annie Must Have Had To Bring Each Other Over The Years Makes Me Weepy

I hate when someone makes a criticism or argument that I have a legitimate answer/explanation for but I KNOW they’re not arguing in good faith and saying anything would be more or a headache than it’s worth so I just have to cross my arms and be moody about it

I've seen a lot of people with tags like this, and that is wonderful! Please do what you can. If you cannot do everything, that is completely fine! Some people are not able to call off of work or get out of school. Some people can't stop buying things, and that's all ok.

Here's what you can do, if you're able:

Don't make unnecessary purchases (only buy necessities like groceries, medicine, and sanitary needs)

Buy with cash where you can

Avoid these companies

Coach Peeta in Catching fire: no time for affection, we are training like careers to survive.

Katniss: no KISS for me ? You DON'T give me any hugs ? Oh ! oh ! Jail for Peeta ! Jail for Peeta for a thousand years !

Handala (حنظلة) is a symbol of Palestinian resistance. He was created in 1969 by political cartoonist Naji al-Ali, critical of Israel as well as Arab regimes.

Handala is 10 years old, the age Naji was when he was forced to leave his home during the 1948 Nakba, and is always seen from his turned back. Today, Handala is still 10 years old. On the day Handala is able to return home, he will then grow up and be seen from the front.

Naji died on August 29, 1987, victim of an assassination. Naji lives on through Handala.

Katniss, during almost the entirety of the trilogy: I don't want kids but I want Peeta to have children so much. He is so dad-shaped it hurts, Imagining his kids running in the meadow in 12 brings me so much joy..

Peeta: has never, not once,expressed any desire to have kids before the epilogue

Hello I just scrolled through you’re whole blog bc I’m in love your art is amazing 😭

Thank you!!! 😭😭

MAJOR SOTR SPOILERS

I feel like most stories I've seen that tackle the topic of propaganda always show the dangers of it in a similar way. They show blatant displays of violence that are hidden away from the people

But in Panem, violence is the point. So how does SOTR show the dangers of propaganda?

A) They cover up The Capitol's incompetence. (D12's Reaping, The Tribute Parade, Louella's death, Lou Lou being a real slap-dash solution, Haymitch being able to break parts of the arena, tributes finding and killing low rank game makers in the arena)

and B) Erasing any memory of the solidarity between the districts, and the strength it gives them. Mainly in the way Haymitch's games were edited to erase the Newcomers- an alliance between EIGHT DISTRICTS. (Some might say it failed, but a lot of those kids survived longer and were a little less scared because of it and that matters.) And by making Haymitch seem like he's the victor because he only played for himself (aka that's the only way to survive-forced individualism)

My Comic!

Since I officially have the first 20 chapters and a whole outline (more or less) written I figured I should probably let you all know about the comic I'm writing!

It's called Little Fawn It's a retelling of Snow White about the huntsman promising protect Snow from the Queen's wrath after almost killing her himself If you're a fan of stories about a tired/grumpy man accidentally adopting a goofy kid, this might be your vibe

The Main Characters:

Emil (AKA The Huntsman) When he’s summoned by the Queen and asked to kill her step daughter, Princess Snow, everything in Emil is screaming no, but he finds himself accepting the task against his own mind and heart.  Emil is quiet and apprehensive of most people. He’s honest to a fault and always keeps to his word. He struggles endlessly with his guilt over almost killing Snow

Snow White: Snow is Crown Princess and beloved by all who know her. All except her step mother, Queen Ennlin, who hates how "her" subjects love Snow more than her and orders a huntsman to take care of it once and for all. Snow, like the Grimms Brother version, is only seven years old. She's is a very curious kid and has a special interest in animals. Especially spiders, frogs, rats, and birds (much to many's chagrin). She also has a knack for sneaking around and hiding (also to many's chagrin).

If you have any questions let me know!!

I think the most radical thing the hunger games does is tell young people that the most revolutionary thing you can do is have unconditional love for humanity. Katniss throughout the entire series is guided by a deep sense of compassion for the people around her. It is what causes her to volunteer, to bury rue, to mercy kill cato, its why she tries to save peeta, why finnick telling her to remember who the real enemy is works, and even though her compassion for the larger world falters when peeta is kidnapped, it comes back when she visits hospitals and asks for mercy for other victors and ultimately, it is love and belief in a better humanity that makes her kill coin. Through it all, she maintains an unfaltering belief in the fundemental goodness of humanity, which is diametrically opposed to dr gaul's and snow's worldview. Peeta is even more unwaveringly compassionate

So the series tells young people that the most revolutionary thing you can be is compassionate. Let compassion drive your politics. Let yourself believe in the fundemental goodness of people. And i think that's deeply important in a world that touts the superiority of pure reason or logic, to allow yourself to be guided by something as emotional as compassion. Katniss everdeen tells us that your politics should be rooted in compassion in a world that thinks detatchment or cynicism is intelligence and i think thats v cool
