ok so Haymitch was also in love with a girl from childhood who was an angry rebel with a great singing voice. No wonder he agreed to help Peeta when Peeta explained that he needed Katniss to survive the games, so he needed Haymitch to prioritise Katniss' survival over Peeta's own.

Teo: Since when were you an expert on bird anatomy?

barty who grew up being trilingual (Spanish, Italian and English), but has a spanish accent because his father was rarely home and his mother would teach him the language almost every day.

his father isn’t too pleased with this though and forces italian on him, which he quickly picks up but now his english has both languages’s accents, which makes it nearly impossible for anybody he meets to understand him.

it took regulus, evan, pandora and dorcas a hot month to be able to hear him correctly, it doesn’t help that he switches languages mid sentence without noticing it though. And his poor teachers constantly have to ask him to translate his writing because its also a mix of all three

he used to hate speaking, because of how much he struggled with which words were correct, until he noticed evan would constantly do it with his french, and realizing he loved when evan would switch up made him feel a little better about his own speech.

No but the Hunger Games really said "what do you hate more- the atrocities or the people who commit them against you? Because like it or not there IS a difference. If you hate the people who commit acts of pure evil more than you hate the acts themselves, what will stop you from becoming just like your enemies in your pursuit of justice? What will keep you from commiting those very same acts against THEM when the opportunity arises? And what then? The cycle of pain and suffering will never stop. Round and round it'll go. Nothing will ever change. But. BUT. If you hate the atrocities. If you hate the vile, senseless acts MORE than you hate the people who did them to you. If you are able to see that evil is evil regardless of who does it... The cycle ends with you. No, you may never get justice. But you will never be responsible for making others, even your enemies, suffer the same crimes you have. The atrocities will never be committed by you, never by your hand. And that's the way you change the world. It's the ONLY way" and that's why I am sure it will never stop being one of the most relevant works of fiction ever created
