#the team she chose in catchign fire

Okay I think too many people believe Katniss when she talks about herself. She's always like "I never do anything."

But there's a scene in Mockingjay where people list the things she's done. But Katniss doesn't grasp any of that bc it's in a context of manipulation. Like, how do we make these things matter? How do we make Katniss perform like this again?

And so to Katniss, it's all a performance. She doesn't believe that she's capable of anything good because every good thing she's done has been manipulated.

So it's not that putting flowers on Rue's grave was the only thing she's ever done, but it's the only thing we get to see as purely hers because every other moment is taken from her and twisted into something else.

And I think it's easy to believe that she's done nothing because I'm pretty sure We've All Felt That. Like nothing we do matters, but other people point out how we changed the world for them, but we brush it off bc insecurity or trauma or self doubt.

Reminder too in case you forgot that killing snow wasn't coin's plan. coin wanted her to die unepically. That was decision katniss made out of desparation so yeah the manipulation factor is there but that's what's so tragic about it is that it's not katniss neither is shooting coin but she's left with no options and that last thing is still hugely her choice just in a dark sense after she's been destroyed
