Let's talk about Caesar Flickerman.
What's your opinion about him?
Where do you think Caesar falls onto, supporter of the Capitol or belong to the secret rebel line?
What's your favourite interview moment with Caesar? Why do you like this moment?
What do you think happened with Caesar after the war? Do you think he survived?
How do you like the portrayal in the movies from the books?
Do you like Stanley Tucci performance as Caesar?
Spoiler for TBOSAS :
What do you think the relationship between Lucky and Caesar? Actual blood relative? Or something else?
Thank you :)

Help I love Caesar Flickerman honestly. He’s such a vibe, I feel like I’d be friends with him, or he’d be the fun history teacher in high school who doesn’t actually teach yk??
I think Caeser definitely supported the rebels, because all those years of interviewing tributes just for them to die has to have taken a toll on him. He got closer with them than anyone else (besides maybe the stylists) in the capitol with only a few minutes of screen time.
I remember Katniss thinking once that he really was trying to bring out the best in each tribute, and trying to help them win in their own individual way. Don’t get me wrong, exploiting kids is still wrong, but I think it was the only way he thought he could help them. I don’t think he would’ve actively supported the rebels, but he would’ve been behind the scenes doing stuff even if not for Coin.
Favorite interview moment has got to be, the iconic, “If it weren’t for the baby.”
Caesar has such natural energy with Peeta, I truly think he knew how angry the capitol would get if he revealed all the details of their love life and made them even more star crossed. I think Caesar was trying to egg him on, and could see what he was getting at, much like in the first book with the crush on Katniss and stuff.
I like it just because wow. Badass, and I’m also biased towards Peeta lol.
I think Caesar probably hid out and died quietly, if he wasn’t immediately killed by either the rebels or the capitol (can’t remember lol). That’s only if he survived, which I don’t think he did. I think he’d definitely be killed by one of the extremes from one of the rebels or the capitols.
The movies did so well with him. His connection with each tribute, his banter with Peeta, all of it. Every line. Perfect casting, perfectly done. Stanley Tucci knocked it out of the park.
Omg!!! Love this last question!!
I feel like probably father/son between them. Lucky had a lot of the goofy energy Caesar has, but Caesar knows how to reel it in, and use it to his advantage more because he’s been around the games and that environment more and knows what the capitol can do. Katniss said he’d been doing it for a long time, I feel like if Caesar did it from Games 45-75, and Lucky 10-44, that’d make sense, or around those numbers.
Thank you for the question @curiousnonny ! As always, feel free to debate but not argue in the replies/reblogs.

I think people forget something very important about the “if it weren’t for the baby comment.” While on its face it is genius bc he knows and understands that there is a penetrating rhetoric and belief that “babies” (this is an important distinction bc children are murdered for sport in thg universe) are to be protected. But where the REAL genius is, is when he said they were married in secret. If they weren’t married, she’s just a slut who had unprotected sex with a man who she wasn’t married to. Peeta made sure that there would be no morality judgement against them consummating their marriage, rather than them just having sex as dating/fiancees. She knows how the Capitol, the rich and privileged, view women’s bodies. They were sad that Katniss could die; they were indignant, near rebellious, that her puritanically ordained baby could die alongside her. God, Suzanne Collins is just so fucking smart. It’s the little things.
Anyway, please make sure you’re checking your voter registration regularly and double-checking if your state has an abortion measure up on a random day of the year. That’s how your state houses are trying to make them fail. Use your right to vote. If the White House and Senate flip they will pass an abortion ban across all 50 states. Please try to protect your rights locally and then nationally. You can also donate to https://abortionfunds.org and the money automatically goes where it’s most necessary. Please donate to your local clinics and Planned Parenthoods too if you can.
