betrothed to my sister’s ex (spoilers)

Final episode. Man im so glad Anastasia is alright, not vindictive and mistakenly thought Count Kyros was the bad guy, so now Maria can convince yet another person how perfect they are together

this bodes well for getting the brother Cedric out of their parent’s house too

unless… famous last words?

Superman said, “all immigrants are people and deserve respect and love they aren’t aliens they are humans and the people who disagree should die” and supergirl said, “A women’s purity shouldn’t be defined by the man who has caused them harm and the exploitation of young women is disgusting and the men who do such things should die” and they are right

Intelligent alien species based on bugs but specifically those moths that don’t have mouths and only live for a week after they pupate. This species’ whole conscious life is actually in the larval phase; larvae are the ones considered people, larvae are the ones with conscious and complex brains who build society, and each instar of the larva is treated as a different phase of life. Larvae become emotionally and socially and cognitively mature without ever becoming sexually mature. When they pupate, they metamorphose into something different and strange and close to mindless, with no mouth and no digestive system, whose only instincts are to mate and then quickly die. Metamorphosis is treated, functionally, like a person’s death, and the imago phase is a kind of proto-afterlife of majestic flight and the continuation of the species. Birth and death inextricably intertwined. Sex is not something people do during their lives, it’s a thing that is done as an imago after you’ve passed on from your life but before you return to the soil in death. Resultant eggs are collected by family members to raise. I think this would be fun.

An interpretation I’ve seen of this passage that really reduces both Katniss and Peeta’s characters down is using it as evidence that Peeta is solely hope while Katniss is solely fire. That Peeta doesn’t have fire of his own, that Katniss can’t be a source of hope. That Peeta came in and fixed Katniss.

Peeta has been shown to have inner worlds and an intensity of his own. He’s the one who heatedly said on the roof that he didn’t have much he was allowed to care about except his own identity. He’s the one who told Katniss to make sure everyone saw the berries. He’s the one who made a pointed comment about rebellion during the Victory Tour, and he’s been shown to be angry countless times. A boy who is a whiz with fire has to carry some heat and fire within himself.

Likewise, Katniss has this perseverance to her that is hopeful. This stubborn need to keep those close to her protected and loved. There were a lot of embellishments surrounding her actions through the series, but the core part of her that inspired a nation was her ability to care and protect. Volunteering for Prim, the flowers for Rue, the medicine and berries for Peeta. These are actions that inspire hope.

How can we look at a girl who was having the worst time of her life, who was even planning her own death in Mockingjay, yet still found the time to give Johanna pine needles, and not see her as a beacon of hope?

And Peeta needs that hope. This is a boy who grew up in an abusive household where his mother clearly doesn’t think highly of him. It doesn’t seem like protection of him is a big priority. We see how this impacts him when he tells Katniss he doesn’t have a shot at winning the Games. To which Katniss tells him that’s not a way to think. How would he not find hope in a girl that protected her little sister and family fiercely? The same girl who he gets to know and see just how caring she is to the point of remembering all his little details and always choosing him and encouraging him?

The color theory surrounding Katniss’s and Peeta’s favorite colors has always been symbolically fascinating. Katniss’s favorite color is a mix of blue and yellow, while Peeta’s is a mix of red and yellow. Katniss comes from a family shaped by sadness and needs that yellow—hope. Peeta comes from a house marked by anger and also needs that yellow—hope. And neither of them would be able to find it if they weren’t both embodiments of hope and fire for each other.
