I Was Actually Using This To Explain To My Sister How The Love Triangle Was A Metaphor About How Katniss

I was actually using this to explain to my sister how the love triangle was a metaphor about how Katniss will move on from everything, the generational trauma, the trauma from her sister's death, and the hunger games, and the people she has loved. And how she has to choose between letting it consume her and keep fighting everything, or to choose to grow and heal.

How Gale leaves, chooses a job different from his home district, he was always a hunter, he wanted to kill district 2 in retaliation for 12's treatment. But Peeta was always a baker, becomes a painter, creates things doesn't destroy, returns home and starts rebuilding, shows Katniss love all throughout the games despite the violent nature of the games, he's against the Final Games using kids of the rich and powerful.

I could go on and on about this, but just the way Gale is so filled with anger and physically fights for so much, but Peeta's rebellion has always been telling Katniss about the bombing on TV, announcing the baby in an interview, painting Rue. Peeta's rebellion was one of choosing kindness and not allowing himself to be forced into hate and tearing things down.

Something that I will never get over and still tear up thinking about is Peeta’s return in the end of the series and he’s planting flowers for Prim… in a post war, destructed, ugly and tarnished district 12 his first thought was to plant flowers

there's just... there is no reason to make yet another cop show in this day and age. copaganda is not only bullshit, it is a failure of imagination.

you want to watch brooding characters with dark pasts investigate crimes in an official capacity? just use private detectives (cops have a miserable solve rate anyway). want eccentric geniuses & their sidekicks solving mysteries? i present you with armchair detectives & neighborhood busybodies. oh, you're craving a workplace comedy-drama starring overworked protagonists doing their heartfelt best to resolve community conflicts? social worker office sitcom! bitch this is ACHIEVABLE

I don't remember everything about this, but I remember reading about how part of what makes tragedies what they are, is how no matter what any of the characters do, the result will be the same.

Hunger Games didn’t really eat holes in my brain the way that it did for some other people but god the opening lines. The opening lines. Katniss wakes up in bed and immediately, instinctively reaches beside her, only to find the bed empty and cold. Before we even know her name – before we know literally anything about her or this world or her place in that world – we know that she loves someone. We know that she is reaching for where Prim should be, sleeping safe and warm beside her, but Prim is not there. She is not there, and her half of the bed is cold and empty. People talk about characters being “doomed by the narrative” when most of the time the character was literally just a well-foreshadowed death, but Prim WAS doomed by the narrative. It’s the very first thing we learned. It’s the most key, integral, important piece of information we’re given about everything that is about to happen: Every single choice Katniss makes is to protect her little sister, and it isn’t enough. In the end, Prim still dies. Prim was dead before the story even started. Katniss, reaching. Prim’s side of the bed was cold and empty. There is no version of this story where Prim could have been saved. Katniss, reaching. The very first thing she does in the series. She wakes, and she reaches, but Prim is already gone. THAT is how you do Doomed By The Narrative. Edit: Also it is key that there was literally nothing Katniss could have done differently. If she had not acted to save Prim, Prim would not have survived the Hunger Games. But by acting to save Prim, Katniss accidentally kicked off an entire rebellion and ultimately massively increased the amount of danger Prim was actually in. The key is that this is irrelevant. If Katniss had done literally anything differently, Prim still would have died. If Katniss had faltered or changed course at any point, Prim still would have died. There was never a point where Katniss could have changed Prim’s fate. There’s no version of this story where Prim lives to see the end of it. She’s dead before the story begins. That’s doomed by the narrative.

This guy is really going to regret sitting down with Jon

How to draw Black characters. Because it's way too obvious when you drew a white person and gave them Black skin.
