Can I Just Say How OBSESSED I Am With Your Art Like Omg It’s So Good 💕💕💕💕💕💕

too often I see people take that final line as gospel: Katniss is a survivor, a strong independent woman who doesn’t need a man; these things are technically true, but they are not what Katniss wants; she does not affirm Gale’s assessment of her, though many readers completely take it at face value that he’s correct; she is offended (she says it’s a horrible thing for Gale to say) that he doesn’t think love or passion will sway her decision; she’s so affronted by it that she wants Peeta to defend her, because Peeta would know (again, subconsciously, she is aware she loves him in a way that could, if he was more sure of her feelings, allow him to defend her approach to relationship), not really considering that Peeta hardly knows his own favorite color, let alone how to psychoanalyze his kind-of-girlfriend in this state

TLDR: Katniss isn’t unfeeling and her choice of Peeta isn’t just because he was the only one there; in fact, ironically, she is explicitly repulsed by that characterization of her

Katniss, during almost the entirety of the trilogy: I don't want kids but I want Peeta to have children so much. He is so dad-shaped it hurts, Imagining his kids running in the meadow in 12 brings me so much joy..

Peeta: has never, not once,expressed any desire to have kids before the epilogue

the part where they cut off the games to broadcast the president's son died with "an important life was taken today" SECONDS AFTER watching a pile of dead district children was chilling

Some people: The love story isn't the point of The Hunger Games series! The love story distracts people from the important messages about war and oppression!

Me: Actually, the love story is vital to the series because it sits at the heart of all the major themes.

Other people: Yeah! You're right! This series isn't a love story! It's a metaphor for those themes!

Me: 🤦‍♀️

Me: YOU DON'T GET IT EITHER!

These things are not mutually exclusive! The love story can be thematically relevant and a metaphor for philosophical concepts and still be a love story! Romance is not a dirty word! It's okay for a story to be about characters in love!

I’d just like to acknowledge that South Africa wouldn’t have such a strong case without the work of the journalists, both alive and martyred, on the ground in Gaza supplying the world with firsthand information about the genocide and that they deserve thanks for it.

The Victor of the 50th Hunger Games

I've already warned all my family, friends, and coworkers about how insufferable I'm going to be until this book is released

Some of the Careers I've come up with for the 71st Hunger Games. I'm not technically writing a OC games type story (Its about Annie as a mentor) but they're in there.

"No I've got it!"

I have a lot of criticisms for the hunger games movies

The score is NOT one of them
