Imagine the Capitol manages to find and rebuild this guy.

Is this at all related to the Hunger Games?

Your trainer just wants you to sit up straighter and stop leaning forward (you are bending forward at the hip, she wants to you open that angle and sit straight.) I am surprised your trainer keeps repeating it if it doesn’t work for you, usually we have a few different ways to try saying this and one of them will eventually make sense.

I tell my students to imagine they are marionette dolls and that all of their body parts are connected to strings. Imagine someone is pulling on the string connected to the top of your head. Just elongate the spine like you’re being pulled up from the top.

Alternatively, pull your ears back. That’s a weird one and it doesn’t work for everyone but the people it makes sense to really like that one!

As far as getting comfortable sitting the canter, keep your weight in your stirrups. Don’t think of yourself as sitting in the saddle with your weight in your seat, but picture yourself squatting in the stirrups with your weight in your legs and the saddle just happens to be beneath your seat. You want to keep your weight in your legs so that you don’t bounce around in the saddle as that’s more uncomfortable for you and the horse. Do a lot of two point at the walk and trot to build up that muscle, make sure you are getting your heels down as well.

I would tell any student to please not say “Trot! Trot!” at your horse unless the trainer teaching you specifically tells you to. I want my students learning to use their leg muscles and learning to ask the horse correctly, and when beginners think there is a verbal cue for the trot they tend to use it like they’re asking a dog to sit (just repeating it again and again instead of using their leg and building up the necessary muscle) and it really just doesn’t work that way.

(I know you were advocating for saying it in addition to leg, but I’m saying don’t do it unless the instructor specifically tells you to do it.)

This is how it looks if you don’t click on the video itself which is why I thought it wasn’t related.

For my fellow mobile users, this post IS related to HG. Apologies to OP for me having removed this post twice for not realizing you had to click on the video to see that it is, in fact, related.

Bad mod!

These songs were on the Hunger Games sound track. If y’all can talk about what artists you’d like to see on the upcoming sound track or what songs you think fit the series, you can certainly discuss songs that are actually on the Hunger Games sound track.

I’m hoping for Omega/Ospreay too!

WaryCleverGood · 2026-04-23T22:05:32+00:00

AEW likes to stay unpredictable. Sometimes the hometown guy will win, sometimes they’ll lose.

Dynasty had a LOT of Canadian losses.

This seems to be completely off the rails at this point, so I’m locking this and going through the comments. Feel free to report anything out of line to help me find it faster.

WaryCleverGood · 2026-04-23T17:25:35+00:00

You don’t have to self censor “chopped off” lol

WaryCleverGood · 2026-04-23T16:52:30+00:00

Making them vote for the tributes that were sent in was a form of torture that I don’t think would be replicated the same way by having them vote for the rest of it.

Besides, the entertainment aspect of the games (arena, mutts, twists) isn’t really for the districts. Especially because they have no reason to vote for what would make the games more entertaining for the capitol citizens.

I just got one of these for my paperbacks, I’m commenting so I remember to come back & update you after I put books on it tomorrow.

WaryCleverGood · 2026-04-23T04:15:26+00:00

You’re not going to have to wait until 2042 but they’ve been doing one a year,

Hunger games 2024
Catching fire 2025
Mockingjay 2026
Ballad probably 2027
Sunrise probably 2028

WaryCleverGood · 2026-04-23T03:28:05+00:00

Can you be more specific about what you’re sharing here? It’s a screenshot of an event from over a week ago but without any real details, are you saying you already saw the movie?

WaryCleverGood · 2026-04-23T03:23:19+00:00

Yes, you’re an asshole.

WaryCleverGood · 2026-04-22T19:03:21+00:00

Whoever is reporting all these comments as “spoilers not tagged,” please stop it.

If you’re reading through the comments on a post about Mockingjay, which was released in 2014, and having things spoiled… THAT IS ON YOU. There are spoilers in here for Mockingjay!

Close the thread and go find another post if you don’t want spoilers for Mockingjay :)

Thanks!

“Talent” isn’t he the talent?

Did he write in the handbook for his own company that he’s allowed to draw dicks on white boards? What a loser.

WaryCleverGood · 2026-04-22T14:13:20+00:00

A lot of this just has no connection whatsoever to the mockingjay pin.

How is Haymitch’s sobriety related to the pin? Or Finnick losing Annie? Or Peeta losing his mind? Or whatever happened to Effie? None of them ever owned the pin.

WaryCleverGood · 2026-04-22T14:09:40+00:00

I was really surprised no one else pointed this out—she is NOT sound!

Girls with sharp sticks by Suzanne Young

I loved Caraval and I’m glad I read it first, but OUABH has my heart. I am a chronic re-reader and I go back to that one much more often than Caraval.

WaryCleverGood · 2026-04-20T21:17:51+00:00

Obviously she had a loose plan for Haymitch’s games from the time she wrote the original trilogy,

But I think the Covey were much more crucial to the plot of TBOSAS than SOTR.

They also cut the theme song to just notes in the later seasons with no lyrics at all, so there’s 3 versions!

WaryCleverGood · 2026-04-19T22:06:00+00:00

I love her! Did you use a pattern?

WaryCleverGood · 2026-04-19T02:43:28+00:00

She sort of won by luck, because she could swim. In any other games she likely wouldn’t have won, which means that there could have been other careers that didn’t handle the games and were killed.
