A Hunger Games Effect

An effect often seen in books of the dystopian genre where the author inserts a slew of unfortunate, jarring events that leave the reader astonished and speechless, especially if a beloved character dies suddenly with little time to grieve.

In the book Mockingjay, from The Hunger Games Trilogy, the death of the character Finnick Odair shows A Hunger Games Effect in full force, where he dies so suddenly, it’s almost comical.

HUNGER

A normal hunger that far exceeds anyone else. All consuming. Unyielding. Those who experience HUNGER truly are either those to be feared, or those who should fear for themselves and their sanity before sheer hunger overwhelms their poor mind. You should attempt to satisfy the HUNGER at all costs.

Person 1: Hey man, I haven’t had anything to eat all day. I HUNGER.
Person 2: Oh shit…

hunger games fanboy

A specific type of fanboy who is eccentric about everything the hunger games related. For example, Katniss is not leading for an wards vote. A fanboy would run around screaming and/or crying. And if katniss became first, they would run around screaming and/or crying. they purchase lots of fandom merch, and act quite strangely when discussing their fandom.
