#also random thing but like my thought of her being aro isnt my big takeaway from the books

[honey-stick]

it has nothing to do with being aro 😭 it’s not as focused on romance as you thought it would be because the books are focused on familial love and the movies stripped that away. - another aro adult

i believe this ask is about this post (link) i made.

i will admit, i didn't phrase things super clearly in that post, my talk about katniss being aro is just my interpretation of a facet of her character, and not a definitive claim. i was sharing my interpretation of her and the reasoning about it, and im not right or wrong about this. every reader has their own interpretations of characters and stories, and with katniss's orientation never explicitly said in the books, the more i read the books, the more i read her as an aro character. my post was just talking about that interpretation, and isnt very serious at all.

i am well aware that isnt what Collins intended, and i know the books have nothing to do with being aro. the few things i knew about the series going in was that rue dies, katniss is good with a bow and arrow, there's a very corrupt government, and there's a love triangle. i did realize while reading it that romantic love is a minor thing in these books. i didnt know that the movies remove the familial and focus on romance, so thank you for telling me that! i was very confused about why there was so much talk online about the romance, and now i know :)
