The family book of all the dead is actually making me tear up at work rn gosh

“I’m not above killing children, but I’m not wasteful”

“You still have no idea, the effect you can have”
I’m really glad Katniss comes clean about her fake mission and everyone knew it was fake. That makes all these deaths not actually katniss’s fault

I’ll never get over Finnick’s death - it never needed to happen because Katniss has her little side mission that she made up. I understand she doesn’t trust Coin, and she shouldn’t, but why does she think she’ll be able to kill Snow? Knowing how this ends (and knowing that she didn’t really make much progress for the war as a solider) it’s just so frustrating

Boggs having Katniss’a back is so cute I love it

“Accompanied by the lone Fiddler from 12 who made it out with his instrument.”

Gale wanting to kill everyone in the nut is really disturbing, but I don’t like how everyone gets mad at Gale and never Beetee

“Darrius was teasing you about trading your rabbit for one of his kisses, and I realized I minded.” That is just so different than Peeta’s first realization of love. Also, Peeta would never had made out with Katniss if roles were reversed and Gale was hyjacked. When Gale was whipped, Peeta helped him. When Peeta was hyjacked, Gale is jealous that Katniss will never let him go. But Gale did save Peeta so idk

“This is a man who spent his adult life at the bottom of a bottle, trying to anesthetize himself against the Captiol’s crimes. The 16 year old boy who won the Quater Quell must have has people he loved - family, friends, a sweetheart maybe - that he fought to get back to. Where are they now? How was it that until Peeta and I were thrust upon him, there was no one at all in his life” 💔💔💔

Gale literally was the first to volunteer to get Peeta from the Capitol - it doesn’t even matter what his intentions are, this is such a good thing for him to do.
