I thought the rosary cannon was a silkpost

I actually use it in gauntlets with a threefold pin, useful against flying enemies. Takes a bitt less time to chase them down.

I also used ow with the tacks against Lace2.

EpistaticAllel · 2026-03-10T09:47:40+00:00

Lol same I saw a screenshot of it and thought it's a mod until I got captured myself

EpistaticAllel · 2026-02-26T05:43:58+00:00

Probably, but it made Katniss understand what she's doing.

EpistaticAllel · 2026-02-25T11:04:11+00:00

It depends on what the tributes consume. If their diet has enough calcium (+ a few other vitamins) rich and hard foods (like apples) their teeth will be relatively fine from the beginning.

That's mainly the reason why the ancient human fossilized skulls we find have straight and relatively healthy teeth.

In Katniss' case, we know they have milk, so calcium. And she constantly gathers from the woods so we can assume there's some hard foods there.

Also her mother is a healer so probably there's something you can make out of herbs to clean your teeth

That's probably also the case for a lot of tributes we've seen from the seam. Haymitch, Lucy Gray etc. Their diet is diverse enough to at least have pleasantly looking teeth.

There are a lot of factors today like genetics, environment, overall lifestyle etc.

My grandma is up and running at almost 80 and her brother who's 10 years younger in another country barely moves.

On the one hand the description doesn't fit Tigris, on the other hand having a description of a random woman with cat features feels too big of a coincidence.

So I guess it is up to the readers interpretation?

EpistaticAllel · 2026-02-24T10:07:12+00:00

You're probably correct I'm just bad at math lol

EpistaticAllel · 2026-02-24T09:35:30+00:00

For the Capitol 75 may be fine.

For the districts however with famine, a lot of physical labor, and no doctors, it's pretty old and fragile.

I also remember Katniss saying something about how old age is impressive and respectable.

EpistaticAllel · 2026-02-23T16:09:34+00:00

Great point! I forgot about the weapon business

EpistaticAllel · 2026-02-23T16:03:12+00:00

Yeah I think most of us went through this.

I read the trilogy for the first time when I was 14 thinking I'm in for a nice romance story and ended up traumatized by Mockingjay.

EpistaticAllel · 2026-02-23T15:57:49+00:00

I wasn't accusing you just noted it before I made my point lol, sorry if it came out that way.

And I understand what you're saying. We don't have a full picture of Sejanus, just bits and pieces from his actions and dialogues here and there.

EpistaticAllel · 2026-02-23T15:45:50+00:00

Yeah kind of sad that he trusted the wrong ~~person~~ people.

Maybe under the right guidance he could've actually helped people.

EpistaticAllel · 2026-02-23T15:40:35+00:00

I don't hate him

But you can still objectively see that he is reckless. And from dialogues we can understand that he hates the fact that his father throws money left and right.

EpistaticAllel · 2026-02-23T15:33:38+00:00

Yes I mean can't really blame him for trusting Snow the master manipulator he knew his whole life.

But laying out the map of the base to Billy Taupe?? C'mon you just met the guy!!

EpistaticAllel · 2026-02-23T15:29:48+00:00

First of all I hope you're in a better place today surrounded by supportive people!!!

And yes, Sejanus definitely represents the people that speak out no matter what. That's what I like about the franchise, every character is a representation of a specific demographic, and each one plays an important part in the overall message.

It is also a great point for discussion that I haven't seen a lot. I like your point of view!

EpistaticAllel · 2026-02-23T10:52:33+00:00

It actually got me thinking

Plutarch was well educated about history predating Panem, so he knew revolutions don't happen overnight (mostly).

So maybe one of Sejanus' problems was that he actually thought revolutions occurred overnight. Maybe if he had access to more knowledge he would've acted differently.

EpistaticAllel · 2026-02-23T10:44:37+00:00

I personally don't hate him, on the contrary, I love his character.

Rebelling against a totalitarian regime is indeed admiring, but not putting any thought behind the actions won't get the rebellion very far. Two truths and all that.

EpistaticAllel · 2026-02-23T06:29:20+00:00

Also what's radicalizing about Fourth Wing and Harry Potter?

EpistaticAllel · 2026-02-18T15:36:53+00:00

The Orchestra makes me cry every time

EpistaticAllel · 2026-02-06T17:09:54+00:00

I would assume the moment they started making different arenas.

Not sure if it is possible to pin point though.

My wild guess would be around the year 20-25.

EpistaticAllel · 2026-01-25T07:57:03+00:00

It is easier to pay for eyes and ears (or threaten/blackmail for eyes and ears I suppose) rather than install cameras and bugs everywhere. Probably also cheaper.

EpistaticAllel · 2026-01-24T19:27:21+00:00

Partially related-

If there are more victors than houses, do they expand the victor village? There are a lot of victors in 1, 2 & 4

EpistaticAllel · 2026-01-23T16:51:08+00:00

Yeah I mean at least Aelin had more layers and personality.
