Despite the fact that Gale looks like he's from the Seam, was also a coal miner and a hunter, Katniss almost never associates him with her father, her most favorite person in the world. The few times she does its usually in reference to the significant loss they shared. The one exception to this is the lake, her last place of refuge.

The person she most often associates with her father (and her mother for that matter) is Peeta. Peeta is the person that always brings up her father's beautiful voice, his squirrel trading and the Plant book that kept Katniss alive. The shared memory of her father's singing voice is one of the things that helps Peeta start to recover his memories. Her father's Hanging Tree song is so closely associated with the tragedy of Peeta and Katniss's relationship. A lot of their physical affection reminds Katniss of her parents.

(Katniss basically takes all her softer emotions and locks them away and usually Peeta is the only person who can help her access them)

CHAPTER ONE NOW UP ON AO3

For an agonizing few seconds, we silently stand watching each other, the pressure of unsaid words hanging between us. The ghost of us, what we could have been, had I made a different decision by those train tracks, pulses around us. Sometimes, I ask myself if I made the right choice that day. It’s times like these where I almost come up with a different answer.

IRRECOVERABLE is Pt. 2 of INEVITABLE

Hijacked, tortured, bitter, and full of rage, Peeta Mellark was hurled back in time, determined to be the sole victor of the 74th Hunger Games. But no matter how hard he tried to fight it, he fell in love with the Girl on Fire all over again. Maybe he never stoped. And this time, Katniss wasn’t the only one who caught President Snow’s attention.

With the second Quarter Quell approaching, Peeta must now use his fuzzy knowledge of the future to help the looming rebellion, warn District Twelve of the firebombs, and prepare to enter yet another arena. All while trying to ignore the tug in his chest always drawing him back to her.

Peeta doesn’t plan on making it out of these final Games alive. He would rather die than give the Capitol another chance to recapture him and turn him into something he’s not. This time, victory isn’t about winning. It’s about finally showing them that he’s more than just a piece in their Games.

“i’m rattled by the turn in the conversation. the implications that i could so readily dispose of peeta, that i’m in love with gale, that the whole thing has been an act.” THEYRE IN LOVE YOUR HONOR

[modernmusess]

katniss: everyone’s so focused on protecting peeta because they too know how pure hearted he is and believe that he—a boy they’ve never even met before—deserves to survive over them and their friends of literal decades

finnick, to literally everyone else: okay if peeta dies she’s gonna kill all of us and then herself, so hands in, protect bread boy on three-

[modernmusess]

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.

Katniss please tell me what was the reason for kissing a boy you only knew for a day on the cheek, when you hate touching or being touched by people you’re not close to? And why did Finnick and Gale not receive this treatment when you were annoyed at them when you first met them?

[imamentalcrisis]

The catching fire movie getting rid of Katniss and Peeta’s day on the rooftop is genuinely one of the biggest betrayal that I have ever witnessed in a book to movie adaptation

[evermarch]

so you’re telling me that after what happened to louella/lou lou haymitch had to watch peeta come back from the capitol as a “mutt version of himself” and question whether the shell of a human with peeta’s face was even peeta at all

and he had to do all that SOBER???

"Wear a necklace of rope side by side with me"

Friendly reminder that Maysilee wears MULTIPLE necklaces in sotr and when she dies Haymitch puts on all of her jewlery in remembrance of her and the other tributes. I am sick. Why is Suzanne doing this. Stop this rn.

[obscurenothings]

someone probably already posted about it but I just reread the cafeteria scene with peeta in Mockingjay in which he's acting really weird (mind you his hands were all twitchy and stuff)

and gale and katniss are talking afterwards and the scene goes:

"I told you he hated me," I say.

"It's the way he hates you. It's so... familiar. I used to feel like that," he admits."

and when I read that I just did the biggest eyebrow raise because what????? you hated her that much?? during her DEATH GAMES?? peeta tried to straight up murder her and was being actively cruel and hurtful during the cafeteria scene and you're saying you hated her on the same level because she kissed him and not you??? oh my god- like dude maybe I could understand if he doesn't know about peeta calling her a mutt and ridiculing her appearance and stuff but gale KNOWS he tried to kill her and he's still comparing that level of terror/hatred to how he felt seeing her kiss him. dude PLEASE get a grip what kind of comparison is that

[you-askedforthis]

I've been thinking about when Peeta almost killed Katniss in Mockingjay and how that was how the 74th games were supposed to end. The rules were changed back, and only one winner was allowed. Katniss or Peeta would have to kill the other to go home. A tragic end for the star-crossed lovers. A reminder that even something as pure and innocent as young love could be twisted and corrupted by the Games.

Of course, that isn't what happened.

So when the Capitol sent a hijacked Peeta to D13, it was to fix a mistake. To redo the Games correctly. A tribute dying at the hands of their lover.

[rosegardeninwinter]

Something I don’t think we talk about enough is that Prim dies trying to save and comfort Capitol children and bystanders … Collins really painted us a people saturated in consumption, desensitized to violence, superficial and silly, so easy to hate for their complicity or to brush aside as colorful, disposable window dressing for the dystopian system they benefit from … and then looked us right in the eye and said, “Go ahead. Dehumanize them. I dare you. Primrose Everdeen dares you.” Stay winning, Suzanne.

@thelocalwafflehouse I gotchu

[jjadmanii]

sometimes i remember katniss started everything inadvertently, because she wanted to save the people dearest to her, and she ended up losing everyone anyway, and i cry myself to sleep

[strandedlu11aby]

It’s crazy how the hunger games got turned into a love triangle story by the media when in the books katniss is like:

“Gale is my friend. We hunt together. He’s cool ig.”

“If peeta dies im gonna kill myself.”
