If it were up to me, I would try to forget the Hunger Games entirely. Never speak of them. Pretend they were nothing but a bad dream. But the Victory Tour makes that impossible.

As soon as anyone spills anything I am going to shout “THAT IS MAHOGANY!”
The Hunger Games meets Olympic Gymnastics. Everything I ever wanted and more. (Also I love how the maker of this video acknowledges that McKayla would obviously find a way to Amanar vault everyone to death if she were chosen as tribute, but Aly Raisman had more Olympic footage so it was easier to make this video with her in the Katniss role.)

Dear Hunger Games casting director: You dun goofed when you didn’t cast Epke Zonderland (who will henceforth be known as His Body is a Zonderland) as Peeta Mallark.
Also, awww, the male gymnasts give each other the best hugs.
I’m going to wake Peeta,” I say.
“No, wait,” says Finnick. “Let’s do it together. Put our faces right in front of his.”
Well, there’s so little opportunity for fun left in my life, I agree. We position ourselves on either side of Peeta, lean over until our faces are inches frim his nose, and give him a shake. “Peeta. Peeta, wake up,” I say in a soft, singsong voice.
His eyelids flutter open and then he jumps like we’ve stabbed him. “Aa!”
Finnick and I fall back in the sand, laughing our heads off. Every time we try to stop, we look at Peeta’s attempt to maintain a disdainful expression and it sets us off again.

You know what really made me fall in love with Katniss? It was that, for once, this is a woman in a movie who is focused on something other than who her boyfriend is. She’s forced into an arena to fight for survival – she’s thrown into a way and becomes a political figure without even realizing it – and that is far more interesting than her romantic life. Look, I loved working with both Josh and Liam, but as far as Katniss is concerned, I think that with all she has going on, the very bottom of her priorities list is the question of who her next boyfriend is going to be.

I knew William Moseley was cast in that CW show based on a YA book, The Selection, with Julie Taylor. And I knew Ethan Peck was also cast in that show. But somehow I never put it together that my fantasy-casting picks for Peeta and Gale would be in this show together, forming two studly points of a love triangle. Thanks to Forever YA for pointing it out!
(Also, now I’m trying to remember, I had a snarky fantasy-casting pick for Gale—someone tall, dark, and completely devoid of charisma, someone so forgettable that I have completely forgotten his name. This is really going to bother me.)
imagine tribute deaths in the hunger games being represented by mmm whatcha say instead of cannon shots

“No one really needs me,” he says, and there’s no self-pity in his voice. It’s true his family doesn’t need him. They will mourn him, as will a handful of friends. But they will get on. Even Haymitch, with the help of a lot of white liquor, will get on. I realise only one person will be damaged beyond repair if Peeta dies. Me.
Nice demonstration of what was missing from the movie.
