“sotr is mid because you already know how it ends” shut the fuck up, the point of the book is that despite knowing how it ends you would have never known what actually went down because that’s the point of propaganda, the whole book is about the power of propaganda

none of the main romantic relationships in thg are ‘distractions’ from the true message of the story. i don't know why this is the common consensus among fans of the books who feel weirdly ashamed of enjoying yafiction that uses these tropes to tell a story.

katniss and peeta's relationship is the most obvious and has the most narrative focus. their relationship is central to them surviving the games both in and out of the arena. they defy the rules of the games by being willing to die for each other, something that contradicts the purpouse of the games to strip humans down to their most bare survival instincts and self preservation. it goes as far to say that their love is part of their revolution and healing.

even katniss and gale's relationship, whether you read their love as romantic/platonic/familial, the showing deterioration of their relationship showcases the cost of war and how it has destroyed them both and pushing them towards different ideologies. regardless of whether you see them as an 'endgame' the end of their partnership is something to be mourned.

coriolanus and lucy gray's relationship is a direct foil to katniss/peeta's; where their connection shows the contradictions between the main philosophies in ballad, of the balance between control and freedom. his betrayal of her and her haunting of him shows the erosion of ambition over love and the cost of that.

obviously within the latest book haymitch and lenore dove's romance is the most pure and idyllic form of love compared to the rest as it is meant to be one of the things lost from haymitch through his trauma, yet the love haymitch has cannot be taken away from him fully.

even the background love stories play a key role within the narrative: finnick and annie's story shows how even despite the capitol's commodification their love cannot be bought or sold, arlo and lil are the backdrop to the anthem of the revolution, and asterid & burdock's story establish a fear of loss and love within her mindset from the start.

all this to say, i don't understand why fans are so dismissive of a large aspect of the series while treating collins as some moral entity and act like they're all only meant to be tricks on the reader or that the audience is 'just like the capitol' for focusing on them. i cannot stress that romantic love is not the only form of love important within thg, but whether you interact them in a traditional fandom 'shippy' way or through analysis, they're clearly not meant to be minimized as they are.

sirius: he has the looks of a depressed english teacher and the soul of a whore.

"Match my freak"? No. Match my love for harry potter's dead dad and harry potter's dead godfather's little brother.

Go on, try it. I dare you.

The people who compare Regulus to a star and James to the sun are correct, but consider: the sun IS a star. Regulus burns just as brightly as James does. You just have to get closer to him.

not to post about wolfstar on main but

muggle coffee shop au (doesn't have to be, i just think it would be fun) where sirius and benjy work together and wolfstar have been friends with benefits (aka in a situationship bc sirius didn't want to date a guy for real) since their last year of school

but then remus meets benjy at the coffee shop and the two of them have a ton in common and they start going out so ofc the fwb arrangement between sirius and rem ends

but unbeknownst to sirius, remus and benjy realize they don't really work together after like the 1st or 2nd date and benjy agrees to fake date remus to make sirius jealous and seeing them together makes sirius realize his feelings for remus

Until one day he'd been standing with James and Peter, in the hallway. James had said something, Sirius can't even remember what. But he'd laughed. One of those big laughs. The type that fills your belly. That makes you cry. And when he'd looked up, he'd found Remus's eyes on him.

*Oh.*

That was something.

That was world altering.

The atoms in his body rearranged themselves under Remus's eyes. They needed. Needed. Needed him.

He'd asked Remus, several years later, what had made him look, since it couldn't have been the noise. And he'd only shrugged and said:

"Your laugh is so bright. It's impossible not to notice it. Like not noticing the sun is in the sky."
