I maintain that the time-jump epilogue at the end of the hunger games is one of the only times anyone has ever done it right. So so so often when a story does a timeskip - ESPECIALLY a "they have kids of their own now and they lived happily ever after" type timeskip -- all it serves to do is sever the reader from the story and take characters that you've grown to known and love, and it Frisbee them into being strangers that we don't know.

But the hunger games epilogue, with katniss and peeta having kids, it perfectly mirrors and flips the katniss that we first met - the one who said so staunchly that she would never have kids, because of the life they would be born into. Not the poverty, exactly, but the perpetual terror of the games and the Capitol's control.

So having that katniss be a mother of two by the epilogue is a perfectly inverted match to the katniss we first met. Early katniss announced she'd never have kids, because they would life a life of terror, of waiting to see whose name will be called, of watching their friends and classmates be sent to die in an arena, of being sent themselves to die in an arena, and toiling endlessly for the Capitol's gain in the meantime.

The epilogue is not just a "And Then They Lived Happily Ecer After" ending with no substance to it - it's a "the world has come so far from where it was, and she has healed so much from her traumas that she has reversed her stance on having kids, and has had two of them now, and there is nothing in the future for those children except for peaceful, happy lives."

And the fact that the meadow they're in is the grassed-over mass grave of district 12 civilians mirrors that too.

"There was so much death here once, but despite the bones that lay beneath the soil, the land has healed enough that flowers grow here now." It's a mirror to Katniss and Peeta's "despite all the horrors we endured, and despite the nightmares that still wake us up at night, we have healed enough that flowers can grow here now."

I know some people tar the epilogue of the hunger games with the same brush as other, shitty epilogues from other stories, but I stand by it. I think it bookends Katniss' story really perfectly.

everyone criticizing the king charles portrait is completely missing the point. the colour red has more positive than negative meanings, and it's associated with love, passion and energy. it's called color theory--
