Jennifer Lawrence was slated for being too ‘curvy’ for the film, and the District 12 training suit definitely emphasises her curves but, lets think about this for a second… Yes, in the book it mentions that she is always hungry and prioritises Prim’s nutrition over her own but, at the end of the day, she’s a hunter, so she has access to food, including meat. The character is 16 also, right? I knew some people (back when I was 16) who hadn’t eaten much for a while and were really skinny. they hit 15/16/17 and suddenly their bodies changed, but they didn’t increase the amount of food they ate, they just ‘blossomed’ as it were. Also, both Katniss and Peeta are offered a wide-variety of foods on the way to the Capitol and while there, so they would put weight on then also. And yes, this may get some critical feedback, but it is just my opinion remember. - Callum Zoom

Think of this, then imagine what it was like for those waking up on the day of the reaping. Imagine the children: fear, everlasting fear consuming their bodies. The confusion of the 12yo, the waiting for those who’ve been through this many times before. Now imagine the parents: the dread, the hate, the fear of losing their child - the pain. They really have nothing to look forward too. - Callum

I want this. For forever and a day. Have you ever seen a more perfect cake? It even has all the district emblems on the bottom, and a cornucopia on top.I even spy Katniss’s bow from the Arena, and am possibly assuming the berries could be an interpretation of Nightlock. LOVE! - Callum

My Dad suggested reading them again, but slower. After finishing the books, I completely lost my will. I just curled up in bed holding my pillow rocking back and forth. I am lending the books to my friend who reads Jane Eyre for ‘fun’.I must make sure I lay down some ground rules before she reads them to me though, especially as my Panem ID and Mockingjay Pin have arrived through the post. The ID is now in my wallet and I will not leave home without the pin. I may even buy another - after I have bought some other versions of the THG trilogy. - Callum

jessicastayscrispy:

today in class i had to write about why i didn’t think the US should have dropped the atomic bomb on Japan and i said “it could cause a nuclear war that would destroy north america and lead to a nation called panem that forces the children to fight to the death on national television.”

See, see, see, this relates to, and reminds me of a post I wrote a couple of days ago relating to the comparison of Panem with the Capitol and it’s 13 Districts and the British Empire and the original 13 Colonies (which you can read here: herboywithbread.tumblr.com/post/21020831350/take-me-river-carry-me-far-is-it-just-me-or)

But it’s an interesting concept you’ve written, about how the atomic bomb could have lead to Panem - I mean, it could be a possible outcome in alternate reality, couldn’t it?

This is perfect. Actually, I want one of these, for each district and to have them on the character list page for Hunger Gamea.

Wishes, eh?

Isn’t it strange how the smallest of gifts can become the symbol of revolution?A simple brooch through Panem into turmoil. Became the symbol for the Districts to overthrow the Capitol. Overthrow President Snow. It makes you wonder, what is possible and how susceptible we truly are… - Callum
