i feel very relieved when people don’t portray neil as dumb or shy or any form of socially inept really, when if there’s smth neil has is people skills and street smarts. but it could have easily gone like that, people misinterpreting his character and it becomes the norm.
there’s the occasional post about neil sharing traumatic memories like they’re chill and everyone around him is flabbergasted and shocked he doesn’t see how thats fucked, but even then i feel like we all agree neil is fucking w them and is aware.
idk just randomly felt grateful this fandom had enough media literacy to not make neil into the ultimate stereotypical autistic representation and claim he outright doesn’t understand social cues or emotions
feeling extremely wlw rn … just imagine being childhood friends with frank, he introduces you to illi because he thinks you guys will get along well. of course, you do. you quickly become inseparable, even hanging out alone without frank. you’re at her house late at night, watching a movie, snuggled up a little bit too close. you feel your gaze wander towards illi, legs spread open in her little shorts. your fingers toy with the hem, riding them up just enough for her chubby thighs to peek out for you. she slowly guides your hand towards her crotch, pressing on the perfect spot for you to start palming her through the thin fabric. one thing leads to another, the movie is long forgotten and you’re riding her, bouncing on her cock until her hand is covering your mouth to silence your filthy moans.
Okay but we all agree that the 75th Hunger Games reapings were 1000% rigged right? It’s been pointed out before but I wanna rehash some things for the sake of clarity before I get deeper into it.
If you look at the pairs chosen for the districts you’ll notice they’re almost ALL duos/complimentary pairs. Siblings from 1, the morphings and of course, Annie and Finnick, who many have theorized that they were chosen to “compete” with Katniss and Peeta. Many of the victors chosen were also revolutionaries or at odds with Snow. (Wiress, Beetee and Johanna being the most obvious of the bunch.) So it’s pretty safe to assume that the reapings were rigged, but I don’t think we talk enough about what that means.
Snow’s ultimate goal was to kill off any and all problematic victors and quash any rebellion in its tracks. It’s hard to say who he favoured to win the games, but I’d say he didn’t care so long as it wasn’t Katniss. However, based on who was reaped for the 75th, I don’t think Snow saw Peeta as a threat. I also don’t think he expected Peeta to volunteer for the 75th games.
I think both of the names in that bowl said Haymitch Abernathy. I’ve thought so for years.
Snow already had beef with Haymitch (thank you SOTR for confirming my HCS) and of course beef with Katniss, so he figured this would be perfect to get rid of both of them. If he had predicted that Peeta would’ve volunteered, he might’ve put Peeta’s name in the bowl so he could guarantee a shot at getting rid of both The Fire Starter and The Girl on Fire in one fell swoop.
Because Snow would never have volunteered for Lucy Gray (because he’d have seen that there was a chance for them to both live if he wasn’t in the games), he couldn’t fathom that Peeta would volunteer to try and protect his love. If Peeta had won the games, as Katniss intended, he would’ve made a wonderful example of what associating with troublesome personalities led to.
Do I think there could’ve still been a revolution without Katniss after Catching Fire? Yes.
Do I think there could’ve still been a revolution without ANY of the (main) victors after Catching Fire? NO.
The tributes for the 75th were strategically picked. Mags volunteering for Annie was likely an unpredictable event as well, but not so much so that it wouldn’t have been a “oh well, that works too” moment.
Snow couldn’t touch Katniss’s family. Johanna was right, if anything had happened to Prim there would’ve been riots in the Capitol itself. Therefore, the 75th was conceptualized and Snow saw it as a chance to rid himself of all of his District Victor threats. The 75th hunger games was a new type of poison which he could use on the victors themselves.
I think Snow definitely saw an opportunity to get rid of Haymitch, because even after he killed everyone he loved Haymitch still fought back 24 years later and made the Capitol look like fools. Even after 24 years at the bottom of a bottle, he was still a threat.
In some places it felt as if Snow almost forgot about Peeta as an independent person from Katniss. Like he was only important in the sense that he was connected to Katniss. Snow just didn’t see Peeta for who he truly was.
Underestimating Peeta may just have been the true beginning of Snow melting under Fire.
