Friendly Reminder Only 800 People Were Saved From District 12

friendly reminder only 800 people were saved from district 12 ✿◕‿◕✿

I'll never get over how fucking ridiculous the post-hunger games dystopian YA trend was. Every book was "society is sorted into *rolls dice* 5 groups based on *picks card* astrology signs. It is illegal to *throws dart at wall* sing. The main character is special because she *spins wheel* knows how to read. Two boys are in love with her."

Ohhh... Katniss is not a real superhero???? No, she is not.

Did people really forgot that Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark are 17 years old???

17.

17.

17.

What were some of you doing at 17? Smoked pod? Went to dances… Lived the drama of high school?

This characters are NOT a reminder of what teenagers living in normal circunstances are; but what teenagers and kids living under the arms of war ARE.

People with paranoia, sickness, fear. People trying to survive the ultimate price of the powerful against the innocent.

Admirable people. Broken people.

People who struggle with an interrupted childhood… so much, that is a sin to try and hope happiness from them; people who mature so fast… faster than any of us, lucky bastards, who have never been in the middle of a tiny little fight.

We shouldn’t expect for them to be heroes or heroines.

But they are, in their not perfect… “superpowery” way. They need to be value as the bravest people in this world because, excuse me, but I don’t think I could be that strong. I, myself, have fainted at the sight of a little piece of blood.

So, people expecting to see superheroes in this movie… why don’t you better go and watch something marvel?

This movies and characters are not just fiction for teenagers *As some of you call them*

They are a reflection of the reality we are living in.

Innocent people being killed or tortured. Normal human beings living under awful cincunstances. Inexperienced people who react and give everything they can to survive.

Think about the children. Think about the future of this world. Not your idea that all heroes should be Superman. 

If you ever want to shit on Peeta just remember he voted against putting the Capitol through the Hunger Games even after being tortured, hijacked, and having his life ruined by them
