I need to read a fanfiction where they talk about children. I need to read Peeta saying something along the lines of: “I’m not sure” or “maybe I’d like to have some in the future” or “I never really thought about it much”, just to leave Katniss reeling.

Something a lot of people don't realise is that Katniss likes Peeta as a person.

That plays a far bigger part in her wanting to spend her life with him than his undying love for her. It's not like how Gale imagined it or some readers interpret it to be, that Katniss loves Peeta because of how much he loves her and is devoted to her.

For a long time, Peeta's undying love for her only made her feel guilty because she thought she couldn't give him what he wanted, which we know is completely false, but she got it in her head.

She assumed Peeta wanted children and never bothered to ask. She assumed Peeta wanted her undying love as well and thought she didn't harbor that feeling for him. Both were wrong, but the point is that Peeta "simping" for her did nothing for him to win her over.

She wants to be with Peeta because they always get along from the moment they're put together. They enjoy each other's company and have intellectual and deep conversations. They didn't even realize how soul-searching it was when they talked about wanting to die as their true selves on the roof before the first game. But they've been like that from day one.

Katniss had been spending a lot more time with Gale by that point, but they had never talked about something that deep. That's part of the reason their relationship starts falling apart the moment they need to align their morals. They never talked about it, period.

Katniss and Peeta are compatible in morals, ideals, and even humor. They can laugh together in a deadly game. They can tease each other in any circumstances. That's what makes their relationship enjoyable. That's why they'd still end up together even if the games never happened. I stand by that.

when katniss was talking about the reaping at the start of series, she stresses how it’s absolutely mandatory to attend unless you’re literally “at deaths door.” So i wonder what it was like, for haymitchs mother, an extremely pregnant teenage girl, who just managed to escape the reaping herself a year prior, to go into labor on that day. Having to worry about how you could potentially be punished if labor isn’t enough of an excuse to miss the reaping while going through the horrors of it; Knowing that two children from your community were once again ripped away, while you bring a new one into those horrors. And then, 16 years later, you have to watch as that same child marches off to his certain death, on the day of his birth.

quick thought! “ma” and “mama” are probably very common district things to say.

coryo implied sejanus called his mom “ma” because he was originally from district two. and now haymitch calls his mom “ma” as well, probably because he’s from the backwoods of district twelve. lucy gray called her mom “mama” if i remember correctly, which is also a southernism. but you know who called their mom “mother” like a victorian child?

katniss.

and maybe it’s about her resentment towards her mom and maybe she called her mama when she was little before her dad died but prim notably also calls their mom “mother” as well, even though katniss says prim completely forgave their mom. so i think it’s because katniss’ mother was raised a merchant. katniss talks several times throughout the series about her mom being more proper than most (teaching katniss table manners uncommon in the seam, telling katniss not to track snow into the house and wanting her to wear shoes more appropriate for someone of her status). so my idea for why katniss is so formal/different with “mother” and even “father” comes from her upbringing.

Also, with Katniss’s perspective of Peeta, you have to read between the lines. Yes, of course, to her Peeta is this perfect angel at all times with perfect eyelashes and perfect cheese buns, but he’s flawed like everyone else. I think it’s just harder to see through Katniss’s lens. Peeta has a temper, can get jealous easily, and is a talented liar. He’s definitely not always as easygoing and soft as he’s perceived as by readers (which I’m totally guilty of too because I adore Peeta)

But I think these flaws are exactly what makes Katniss and Peeta’s PMJ relationship so beautiful and strong. Because of Peeta’s hijacking, both Katniss and Peeta are, for the first time, able to clearly see each other’s flaws. Beforehand, both of them had each other on an unhealthy pedestal. Peeta since he was five years old and Katniss since the bread. It’s safe to say they had skewed perspectives of each other. But when these pedestals were ripped away, it made their love even stronger and real in the end. They learned to love each other’s flaws on top of the everything else they already worshiped each other for.

So when you view their flaws, Peeta’s included, you can really appreciate how true their love was for another by the end of Mockingjay. It’s really beautiful

I always laugh when people paint Peeta as a soft, innocent, almost a push over type of guy. Like this boy was eating Katniss up in arguments, making innuendos while on his deathbed, and beating up guys if they threaten his girl. Like come on now.

'I speak fluent sarcasm' in moodboards/aesthetics of characters who say out of pocket shit nonstop and mean it with they whole chest is one of the worst trend's ever i swEAR

[waywardangel-wilds]

You know, everyone's always like 'Peeta's so down bad for Katniss,' 'Peeta likes Katniss so much more than she does,' but really, I think we all know that Katniss is way more likely to drink Peeta's bathwater than he is if this was a freaking Saltburn situation.

so basically katniss’s attitude to romance as well as her romantic relationships just seem very aro coded

she states multiple times that she doesn’t feel romantic attraction to gale, but still specifies that their relationship is very strong. this only changes once gale clearly starts expressing interest in her

in my opinion, the fact that one of her romantic interests id her best friend, with who she already has a strong emotional attachment, could be read as her being arospec. not trying to generalise but i feel like aro people are more aware of different types of attraction and may still fall in love with people who they previously experienced another form of attraction to

moving on to peeta, once again katniss only shows any signs if reciprocating his feelings after he confesses and after they form a strong emotional bond. not to say that she doesn’t care about peeta- i just think that their relationship is way more complex than just romantic attraction. i think regardless of if they were lovers or not, they would still have a really strong relationship, and ultimately katniss still would’ve chosen peeta over gale

so i could say that i headcannon her as aromantic because of her confusion about her relationships and only reciprocating feelings after a while passes, however it’s more about her emotional connections that occur many times, and occur before she even starts to like someone in a romantic way

anyway this is just kind of me rambling but yea i think katniss is aromantic

you know what? Fuck you.

*headcanons your character as aspec*

I actually wanna talk about this again in full bc this is insane.

The streaks of red both from blood & the streaks in the bg overlapping (I think?). The way that those streaks are moving perfectly behind Katniss's head, reflecting the state of her mind in this scene. Katniss's completely dead-eyed stare that feels like a mix of emptiness & bloodlust (complete with the red in them). The way that the drink is easily the brightest thing in this. It's all so raw.

winner winner chicken dinner, now thoroughly cooked rendered

I also think that peeta is the greatest thing to ever exist so I fully believe that is what finnick meant.

You know Queen somehow I don’t think Finnick thinks your botoy is the most specialest guy in the whole world. I don’t think that’s what he meant.

[waywardangel-wilds]

No but imagine Katniss after she starts having sexy dreams post war seeing Peeta get ready for bed and she’s just standing there awkwardly like “can you wear a shirt tonight? And maybe pants? And socks?” And he’s just like “huh?”
