There’s an awful lot of smut on here involving snow or finnick and like, do whatever you want, but I can’t lie and say it doesn’t make me immensely uncomfortable. Finnick was a victim of forced prostitution as a MINOR. his conventional attractiveness was exploited, he was seen by everyone as nothing but a hot body and a womanizer when he in actuality was a fucking VICTIM. HE’S NOT A PLAYBOY HE WAS FORCED INTO SEXUAL SLAVERY OR HIS FAMILY WOULD BE KILLED. sexualizing him so much is doing exactly what the Capitol wanted, making him nothing but a plaything.
And you guys realize snow killed children. the point of tbosas was not that he was once an uwu soft boy, the fact that he was conventionally attractive isn’t supposed to be a reason to like him or excuse his actions. you do realize he was using his charm to manipulate people right? right??? his internal monologue throughout the entire book showed how prejudiced and hateful he was even when he held no power. he wasn’t suddenly “changed” to become hateful by Gaul, she manipulated him yes, but the seeds were already there. She just nurtured them. He was like that the entire time, but you don’t notice until he’s outright trying to kill Lucy gray in a selfish panic because you spend the entire book trying to root for him, even though you knew what he would become due to the simple nature of it being a prequel. the book wasn’t trying to make him into a sympathetic little hot boy
anyway mini rant over goodbye
