there‘s so much emphasis on how alike haymitch & katniss are & how it makes them understand each other so well. but to me it‘s important to note that haymitch sees aspects of himself in both katniss AND peeta. he sees his ferocity & endurance in katniss, but he also sees his ability to put on a mask & play other people in peeta. that‘s at least a part of why he always believed they might actually have a chance in the games & it‘s also what makes it both easy & hard to love them.

#✘ ( headcanon ) the deep stares back & speaks to me.#LISTEN we see haymitch so much through katniss that it‘s easy to forget that this is him unfiltered & how easily he can put on a mask #that‘s how he survives the capitol & that‘s how he wins sponsors #also there‘s soooo much self loathing & that’s what makes it hard to love katniss & peeta & the similarities he sees in them #at the same time it‘s still easier to love peeta bc those similarities are the ones that ensured his survival #meanwhile the similarities with katniss are pretty much what got his loved ones killed so :)))#it‘s just very complex & it makes me go feral :))))
