THE BOY WITH THE BREAD - Tumblr Posts
I think it’s kind of funny how coin (who obviously wanted peeta rescued from the arena instead of katniss) doesn’t see what an absolute nightmare he would be for her to deal with if she left katniss in that arena
Like she thinks katniss was hard to deal with/manipulate/control after she left peeta behind? Peeta would’ve had her whole district eating out to the palm of his hand before she even realized who she was dealing with. She thought katniss was too single minded/stubborn about her focus on saving peeta over the revolution itself? He would have been her absolute nightmare (and I adore him for it)
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
