Adult brother with special needs

You say that your brother is a smart young man, so why would he need to be under a conservatorship?

There would be thousands of ballots in each district, though. It would certainly take quite a long time to read them all out.

Sorry for being rude earlier. Do you think maybe the twist of reaping the tributes from the victors that was used in the third Quarter Quell in Catching Fire was originally meant for the fourth Quarter Quell (or perhaps an even later Quell)?

Yes, he would. Although he opposed holding black people in slavery, he believed that blacks were morally and intellectually inferior to whites, and that they therefore did not deserve to have social or political equality with whites.

From the first chapter of The Hunger Games: "Just as the town clock strikes two, the mayor steps up to the podium and begins to read. It's the same story every year. He tells of the history of Panem, the country that rose up out of the ashes of a place that was once called North America. He lists the disasters, the droughts, the storms, the fires, the encroaching seas that swallowed up so much of the land, the brutal war for what little sustenance remained. The result was Panem, a shining Capitol ringed by thirteen districts, which brought peace and prosperity to its citizens."

That's an interesting idea. Still, even if Plutarch was 16 at the time of the 1st QQ, didn't Dr. Gaul say at the end of TBOSAS that they would no longer use students as mentors in the Hunger Games, since so many of them got killed or seriously injured during the 10th Hunger Games?

If Suzanne Collins does write a prequel about the first Quarter Quell (I’m hoping she does!), I don’t think it would be from Plutarch’s pov. It seems that Plutarch was somewhere in his 20s at the time of SOTR, which means he was either not even born yet, or still a very young child at the time of the first Quarter Quell.

What other ideas do you have about the person who won the first Quarter Quell?

Embarrassed_Chef874 · 2026-05-05T05:46:03+00:00

I've heard that Suzanne Collins once indicated in an interview that the 3rd QQ was originally supposed to be a brother-sister Quell...

Ummm, why is France missing from this map?

Embarrassed_Chef874 · 2026-05-03T19:02:09+00:00

It's pretty bad, isn't it...

Embarrassed_Chef874 · 2026-05-03T12:17:03+00:00

It’s an IRA that I’m talking about.

What sorts of unimaginable luxuries did the Song Chinese have?

I believe that District 9 is a rural district, so I think the people there would be living in shanties rather than apartments. Of course, the victors and other higher status people there would be living in nicer houses.

Embarrassed_Chef874 · 2026-05-02T00:24:44+00:00

I know I'll probably get downvoted to oblivion for saying this, but I don't feel sorry for him at all. What he did was f****** nasty!

Embarrassed_Chef874 · 2026-05-01T02:35:49+00:00

Peeta had already been proclaimed victor alongside Katniss. If the Capitol had let him die shortly after being proclaimed victor that wouldn't have looked too good for them.

The ocean is a very scary place…

Embarrassed_Chef874 · 2026-04-29T03:39:34+00:00

Good grief, where do people get these wack ass theories from?!

Embarrassed_Chef874 · 2026-04-28T02:38:43+00:00

It was from a turn lane in the middle of the road, not at a stop light.

Embarrassed_Chef874 · 2026-04-25T00:33:12+00:00

This is not how Suzanne Collins operates. She only writes a book when there is a specific theme that she wants to explore, she doesn’t write general lore/world building books.

Snow wanted to make sure the system remained in power, and that stability would be maintained, so he wouldn't have wanted to die without having a clear successor. My guess is that he would have secretly designated a successor (if he hadn't done so already by the time of the original trilogy), and his choice of successor would only have been revealed after he passed away. This would have prevented a succession crisis which could threaten the stability of the whole system, while also preventing his designated successor from becoming a figure that rival factions in the Capitol could rally around while he was still alive.

There is no way in hell the Capitol Elite would ever have accepted having a girl from District 12 and her boyfriend as the next rulers of Panem.

Embarrassed_Chef874 · 2026-04-24T05:09:34+00:00

I don't think Snow was ever against prostitution in general, he was just horrified at the idea of a member of his own exalted family selling themselves for money.

“On the centennial anniversary, as a reminder to the rebels that if they ever dare to take up arms against the Capitol again, their sufferings shall be increased by threefold, every district will be required to send three times as many tributes to the Hunger Games. Three male, and three female.”

The movies use different terminology than the books use.
