aftg is the opposite of that one post that's like "love was there, it didn't change anything" because love was there and it changed everything. i will always appreciate nora for believing in her characters' right to find love and heal and get their second and third and fifth chance.
My last heist card for @undermoonwalker-ish ! This was such a fun project and I hope you liked it!

Kevin and Jean in their sad boy raven era.

The evil of reading TSC on kindle is that I have free rein to make as many notes as I want without cluttering the pages. It’s taking me twice as long to read. Blessing in disguise maybe?
Kevin is one of my favorite characters ever and I'm super happy with this design!
Thank you! This is awesome!!!

“Hey, soldier,” Jeremy says, sliding into the space Andrew left. Jean looks at him, and swallows. “Soldier?” Jeremy smiles, small and bashful and with just a peek of teeth. Jean resists the urge to poke at his canines. “Y’know, wounded soldier, coming back from war,” he says, then bumps their shoulders together, gesturing down at his knee. “You hurt your knee, right?” “Does that make you the loyal wife awaiting his return from the war?” Allison asks archly, glancing over from Renee, Dan and Seth to look at Jeremy. Jean doesn’t think he can cope with an answer to that question, so he quickly says to Jeremy, “Sort of.”
Jean gets a mysterious injury, Jeremy is distracted, Katelyn is shipping, Allison is scheming, the lacrosse team has too many group chats, and Kevin just wants to study for their midterm.
or: three times someone waited for jerejean to make a move, and one time they finally did.

Katniss and Haymitch are both pretty much solely motivated by community (protecting family, friends, people they deem vulnerable). The difference is in the ways that rebellion comes naturally to them.
Katniss’ rebellion are, for lack of a better word, “passive” acts of love. Building a burial for Rue, speaking to Rue’s and Thresh’s families, trying to save Peeta with the berries, etc.
Haymitch tends towards more “active” acts. Blowing up the water tank, driving the chariot to face off against Snow. While his rebellious acts diminished after the games, this pattern of “active/offensive” over “passive/defensive” becomes exacerbated when he shuts himself off from people.
Throughout the books, Katniss has to learn to be more “active/offensive” in becoming the mockingjay. Haymitch has to relearn the “passive/defensive” by opening himself up to Katniss and Peeta.
Despite their differences in how they naturally rebel, they are both so similar in that community and love are their motives. Katniss really is Haymitch but luckier. This book also proves how important luck is to a rebellion (even though we may not want it to be). In addition to luck, persistence is also necessary.
Renee Walker! I guess she dyed her eyebrows too?
