This moving artwork of Haymitch as a leader, willing or unwilling, throughout his life is by HilaBaldo beloved and you can see it here! https://x.com/HilaSketchCat/status/1906336223339114503 These chapters, I would argue, are the weakest of the book in a lot of ways. We knew where we were heading, we knew that there was going to be tragedy, and after reading through the onslaught of horror in the games I'm just not sure we needed two of the longest chapters of the whole book dedicated to this part of the story. I live-read the epilogue to RoShawn, as well as the part where Peeta and Katniss watch Haymitch's games, and you'll have to wait to see her reaction!  Thanks so much to you all for listening, and we will see you someday!

This illustration of Haymitch is by Itsajollyjester and you can see illustrations they did of the other victors here. Warning, they're not so much graphic as they are haunting, because the artist wanted us to see how each victor really looked when they won. https://gethelphomework-wqcgx.ondigitalocean.app/question/the-lucas-critique-argues-that-because-the-way-people-form-expectation-uv2kzwop This chapter is the one where Haymitch has to get patched up and shoved back onstage with Cesar Flickerman to "celebrate" his "victory". RoShawn and I talk about ownership of the narrative, and the way that can be coopted through altered history, calculated smear campaigns, social media, editing, silencing, and clickbait.  This is a pretty heavy episode, just to warn you all. But it's a heavy chapter! So what can you do. Thanks so much to you all for listening, and we will see you soon with a new episode!
