"Finnick asks a lot of questions about the rodent, which we decide to call a tree rat. How high was it, how long did I watch it before I shot, and what was it doing? I don't remember it doing much of anything. Snuffling around for insects or something."
Katniss Everdeen, Catching Fire pg 291
Finnick Odair does not get enough credit for how intelligent he is. I suppose it's easy to overlook because he has so many wonderful qualities and all the drama of his own narrative but really, the guy has a high level of intelligence. I feel like fanon short changes him too much and puts him into the goofy/doofus friend role. I want to see more fics that show what an absolute gem he is, because he is multifaceted, and please can we get an awesome Finnick & Katniss brotp (is there a nongendered term for that?) fic!?
