CAn you develop your feelings on Everlark ? I read the books but i am not really part of the fandom or anything, I just liked it you know, so yea, could you tell me more about alll of this ? Because iwasn't really fond of any of the pairings in fact and I would like to understand what you mean :D

Sure!

So throughout the book it was a really awkward pairing? Like we knew right off the bat that Peeta was REALLY REALLY INTO KATNISS which is a nice subversion of the trope, usually? You tell immediately at the end of the book that Katniss was DOING WHATEVER IS NECESSARY TO SURVIVE—which is what I really loved about Katniss was her “selfishness”? Like she didn’t really give a f—- about anything beyond her mom and sis and maybe the Everthorne family? For all intent and purposes, THAT WAS HER WORLD.—while Peeta was like OMG SHE LOVES ME TOO. And then CF happened…which was kind of a mess because she’s basically required to perform on command and required to essentially love on command and some how SAVE PEOPLE? So, like really messed up set up and Peeta’s kind like…but you love me, right? ^_^ And while I actually enjoyed Mockingjay, my main thought was she’s ending up with the dude who has been programmed to kill her and doesn’t have the best control over it. Like she’s already pretty broken and messed up after the whole rebellion and to throw that in there was really just heartbreaking? lbr, none of her relationships at the end of MJ are terribly healthy but like that really stood out to me?

NOW THE RACE ASPECT:

It was really really really uncomfortable that everyone was touting Peeta as a beacon of moral superiority? Even Katniss herself was like he’s better than all of us and I’m like Katniss is a WOC, Peeta is a blue-eyed blonde with white skin. When characters that are coded as POC are consistently claiming that a white male is morally superior/good/better than us, it’s really really painful/borders on racism for me? So yeah, I’M NOT SAYING THAT EVERLARK FANS ARE RACIST OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, it’s just what I get from the text that keeps me from actually having positive Everlark feeling?

I DON’T KNOW IF THAT HELPED?

also Peeta is like the lamest name ever…she should of hooked up with his brother…Rye. XD
