Just two sisters all dressed up for the reaping!! 😋

Idk if you’ve heard but I just recently fulfilled the prophecy of reading all of katniss’s hunger games books and I am a wreck about it!! I just think about them all the time now and it is horrible 😽 I’m reading Lucy gray’s games now and as of right now it’s also extremely devastating!!

Anywho if you haven’t go read the hunger games! 😻

I’ve always been confused about Everthrone simply because Gale is barely in THG, he’s there in the beginning but the majority of what we learn about Gale is through Katniss’s memories.

He's more present in Catching Fire and Mockingjay, but his name is only mentioned 650 times.

In contrast Peeta's name is mentioned 1,675 times!

Gale never occupied Katniss's mind the way Peeta did.

Not to mention when we do see more of him, he's so annoying.

I love an Everlark support post with stats!

[glimmeringpearl]

the fact that Katniss mentions Peeta a thousand times more than Gale, more than twice as many times (2.57 to be exact)

logging onto tumblr like heyyy i'm thinking about the same character i've spent the past few weeks thinking about. no change here. just wanted to let yall know

[clowfish]

have katniss everdeen on the mind so. little rant.

The grossest mischaracterization I’ve seen in fanfics is the idea that Katniss hates kids and that’s why she never wanted to have any. If you think that is the case, you have WILDLY misinterpreted the entire reason why katniss foreswears having children throughout the trilogy. It’s the complete opposite; she loves kids so much that she couldn’t bear them suffering the inevitable pain that comes from living in Panem. She would rather not have children at all than have them be subjected to that. Throughout the series she consistently shows deep care and love for children (prim, rue) and that is such an integral part of her character. She is inherently maternal and she knows that’s one of her weaknesses. I’ve seen fics where katniss looks at a kid and thinks “wow what a brat kids are so smelly I never want to have any” and others where she’s pregnant and is thinking “im only really having this child for Peeta, I don’t even know if I’ll be capable of loving it as much”, just so that they can eventually have a scene where she gives birth and is like “omg I love this child so much wow I was so wrong to not want kids!”. NO!! YOU READ THE BOOKS WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED!!!

Saw a good convo about Gale saving district 12 citizens from the fire bombs that got me thinking and I gotta yap about him some more. Shout out to Rachel Ramras on tiktok and youtube. I believe in my heart she’s with us here on tumblr but she has not revealed herself.

The difference between Katniss and Gale is how they treat their enemies, not their allies. Gale is a brave and capable ally! He defends HIS people. Leads them to safety, pulls them out of the flames, he goes after Prim during the bombings of 13, he goes to rescue Peeta in the Capitol. But he is very specific about who counts as being on his team and over the course of the story, especially Mockingjay, his idea of who deserves his protection gets more and more narrow.

He has no empathy for anyone from the Capitol, no forgiveness for people who forward the Capitol’s cause regardless of circumstances, and he goes so far as to write off citizens of 2 who are working in the nut. A job that was probably the main income for a whole district of impoverished people much like the coal mines in 12 which is a job GALE HIMSELF USED TO HAVE. Katniss even brings up d13’s own spies who are inside the mountain and Gale is willing to sacrifice them because he’s reached a point where the only thing that matters is destroying the enemy. His list of allies gets really short by the end.

His double bomb design is a symptom of this. Katniss finds it unacceptable. Gale has no limits for what he thinks can be done to their enemies. We know that he didn’t intentionally deploy that design against Prim, but I think it comes down to Gale dealing with the inevitable consequences of becoming so war crazed. He fails to empathize with anyone he sees as against him or find any nuance in this conflict, he pairs down his list of who he is willing to call an ally, and then he sees his own violence pointed at one of the few allies he has left. Prim, someone he has sworn to protect for so long, falls victim to something he thought would only ever be used on enemies, and he’s forced to the opposite side of his own equation and ends up losing Katniss because of it.

Katniss figured out in her first games that the soldiers in war aren’t the real source of the evil. She empathized with the tributes trying to kill her because she was trying to kill them and she knew none of them had a choice. Not even Cato became a true villain in her mind. She watched him realize how meaningless his existence was in the end. She admired Fox Face and mourned Thresh. She was able to see humanity in her enemies and recognize that Capitol citizens were only seeing what they were allowed to see. Katniss remembered who the real enemy is and Gale did not

[bitchyhearttragedy]

a lot of people like to say that the others hate gale more than snow but is not that, is the fact that we always had to hate snow because HE IS evil and he admits that while gale is close to Katniss, kinda like her, he is more close on the narrative and at the end with all the choices he made through the books we fell it more personal. bc yeah he fuck up as a friend so many times and after he just wanted revenge and he didn't even give his condolences to Katniss for prim when he have know both of them FOR YEARS they were family

Their moaning is insane, it's perfect.

[bitchyhearttragedy]

i know how i have talked about benophie/benmal parallels before but the way benophie is SO MUCH like everlark.

i know a lot of people would like to disagree for obvious reasons but i think that beside THAT situation they are so alike as characters and couple

There's something so meaningful about Katniss associating Peeta with dandelions, especially when you take into account the way Peeta is viewed by others throughout the trilogy and dandelions are viewed in real life.

Dandelions are considered by many people to be weeds. They're not toxic, but they're eyesores in any perfect garden or lawn; they spread fast due to the way they seed, so they're considered invasive; their one use—attracting pollenators—is negated by the fact that their pollen is low in nutrients.

In other words, they're useless. They're pests.

Peeta throughout canon is treated similarly. It's a repeated theme that he is always brushed aside and disregarded in some way, second best to someone or something else. He's the third son. His mother deems him inadequate, he loses to his brother in wrestling, his father always wanted a daughter. Haymitch saves Katniss over him in the first games, the rebellion saves Katniss over him in the Quell. Peeta, in the eyes of others, inculding himself, has very little value. It's partially why in Catching Fire he says on the beach, "Nobody needs me."

And yet, we see how Katniss views dandelions, just as she views Peeta. To Katniss, dandelions are a sign of spring, the first bit of food bees get after winter, a sign of cultivation and new life on the horizon. They mean being sustained, for every bit of a dandelion is edible. They represent hope. To Katniss, dandelions are beautiful.

Peeta is her dandelion. He takes a beating to feed her when she's starving. The bread he gives her is enough to keep her alive for when spring comes, and she can forage in the woods. At her lowest, most cynical, and most suicidal, Peeta returns to her and plants a garden outside her window so that she can mourn in peace, and bakes her bread for breakfast the next morning so that she can eat. So she can live.

There is so much in the text that shows us how valuable Katniss finds Peeta. To her, Peeta is incredibly kind, talented, and intelligent. He's a wordsmith. He's her hope. He's beautiful.

But I think it's best expressed in Catching Fire, in response to Peeta's assessment of his worth: "It's true his family doesn't need him. They will mourn him, as will a handful of friends. But they will get on. Even Haymitch, with the help of a lot of white liquor, will get on. I realize only one person will be damaged beyond repair if Peeta dies. Me.

'I do,' I say. 'I need you.'"

To Katniss, Peeta is everything but a weed.

the difference in hunger games narrators is so funny to me like this is our starting lineup

katniss: i go to a place and do a thing using a skill. also everyone hates me. oh you want to know more about myself? here are four straight paragraphs just describing food instead.

haymitch: so the baker’s in love with my best friends girl and my girlfriend’s uncle is gay and secretly dating the town window-fixer and she’s actually related to lucy gray and has beef with the mayors daughter who bullied me and her social security number is—

snow: everyone here is UGLY and OBNOXIOUS and TACKY and I Am God.

[at-the-end-of-all]

katniss genuinely not knowing she is widely beloved and a pillar of her community kills me
