It's Time for 'Blue Bloods' to Give Danny a New Romance

With the show now in its endgame, doesn't Donnie Wahlberg's character deserve a little happiness?

Do you agree with me?

well in the epilog katniss didnt really seem to want the children or feel anything for them but went through with it becuase "peeta wanted them so badly" so theyre sort of right becuase "woman pushed into having children she didnt want , possibly traumatising hermore becuase of someones desires" is a very anti choce stance.

See, that’s the prevailing viewpoint, but I’ve always had a problem with it. It’s so widely accepted by the fandom, but it ignores that the birth of those children fulfills both the character and thematic arcs of the series.

Let’s look at the entire quote.

They play in the Meadow. The dancing girl with the dark hair and blue eyes. The boy with blond curls and gray eyes, struggling to keep up with her on his chubby toddler legs. It took five, ten, fifteen years for me to agree. But Peeta wanted them so badly. When I first felt her stirring inside of me, I was consumed with a terror that felt as old as life itself. Only the joy of holding her in my arms could tame it. Carrying him was a little easier, but not much.

At first glance, it looks kind of bad. Like Peeta pushed her into having children despite her bone-deep terror. But this overlooks the fact that Peeta waited those five, ten, fifteen years for her to be ready. If he wasn’t concerned about Katniss’ choice, Peeta could have been more forceful in taking what he wanted. He could have left her and found a woman more willing to provide children. But he didn’t. And that heavily suggests that Katniss, in the end, is the one who made the choice.

Katniss feared having children because she feared for their future--feared a world where they’d starve to death, feared a world where they could be ripped from her arms and thrown to the slaughter of the Hunger Games. Katniss fears, more than even her own death, losing those she loves--look at how she was devastated by the loss of her father. Of course she’d be afraid to bring children into a world that’s designed to kill them. But the struggles of the series wouldn’t have much point if Katniss remained trapped in that fear, if her world remained a place hostile to new life. So the end of the series has to show that growth and change.

Of course it’s Peeta who helps her to move beyond her fear. Never forget that for Katniss, Peeta always represents hope. A new chance at life. When she was starving, at her lowest point of despair, he provided, at the cost of pain to himself, the bread that gave her hope. When they were in the Hunger Games, he gave her hope that the world could be transformed into something better by choosing to look beyond their own fears for survival and putting someone else’s needs above their own. Acting, not out of fear or self-interest, but for the good of the other could--and did--change the world. That changed world is one that welcomes children, and makes it possible, eventually, for Katniss to do so, too.

Giving birth to children doesn’t add to Katniss’ trauma. It shows her healing from it. Choosing to hope despite her fear. And what is her reward for it? Joy. Not mere happiness that ignores the pain, but joy that transcends it. Joy that does not erase the fear but makes the fear worthwhile. Joy that heals her enough to face a second pregnancy. And the joy of having two children who don’t know what it means to live in fear.

I appreciate that having children doesn’t magically erase Katniss’ trauma. Children are not a magical balm that will heal all ills and will bring fulfillment to every woman’s life, and the series isn’t arguing that it does. As the passage above shows, she will continue to live with her fears and regrets. But with Peeta and her children around her, she will also live with new life. And love. And always, always, hope.

finnick odair not dying at the end of mockingjay and getting to live his life would include...

him being close friends with everlark

attending everlark’s wedding and joking with katniss about her dress: “i thought you outgrew the pretty little dresses” (headcanon by @occvsus on twitter)

being concerned about peeta and his mental health and helping him deal with it

getting to meet his son and grow old with him and annie

eventually having another child

inviting everlark and haymitch to district 4 because katniss’s mom works there (and because he would miss them of course)

lowkey looking after katniss’s mom

keeping in touch with johanna and not letting her go through all of her trauma alone

inviting johanna over so she’s like aunt johanna to his children

finnick pushes johanna to ask cressida out because we all know they’re lesbians

he loves annie every second of every day, he feels so lucky to have her

he would organize days by the beach with his family, teach his children how to swim and fish

he wouldn’t tell them about the games though

he’s a very goofy dad, but loves his children fiercely and would do anything for them and annie

eventually katniss becomes aunt katniss and the boys become uncle haymitch and uncle peeta

katniss and finnick become each other’s confidants and best friends because they understand each other perfectly

finnick would see how annie and peeta become really close too, one of the reasons why being the shared trauma that they went through in the capitol

finnick reverting to his old, happy self

he tells really bad jokes

katniss and johanna roll their eyes every time that happens

haymitch, peeta and annie laugh

all of them meeting in district 4 more and more often because they have become each other’s family

finnick and annie visit district 12 a couple of times a year but it’s still destroyed so they’d rather meet in 4

they have a house in district’s 12 victor’s village though, and same goes for everlark, haymitch and johanna in district 4 (no one lives there anymore except the victors so)

finnick and katniss would go hunting

annie and peeta bake because they’re soft

haymitch looks after the children and doesn’t drink anymore because he’s finally sober

eventually katniss would open up to finnick about her sister and father and finnick would open up to her about all of the people he lost

literally WHO is gale

surprise surprise, everlark has their first child

and finnick’s son is a teenager now

if odesta had another child they’d probably be a teenager too

odesta’s children become the older siblings, they take care of everlark’s child

finnick becomes uncle finnick and annie becomes aunt annie

everlark has their second child

he teaches everlark’s children how to swim too

he jokes around with them a lot, he’s literally the fun, laidback uncle

he often carries peeta bridal-style because of his leg to amuse everyone

veeeery cocky around all of the children

everlark’s children admire him but his children just sigh because... why is he like this

they love seeing him happy though, after studying the games at school they know that their parents deserve all of the happiness in the world

finnick has the best relationship with his children

also, he ages like fine wine

cressida and johanna get married

literal best found family, they would have outsold

regular holidays with all of them together as a family? amazing

miss everdeen would attend too

at first it was hard for everyone because they lost so many people they cared about but they moved on little by little

they’re happy

“What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again. And only Peeta can give me that.”
