having a really hard time turning down any kind of advances because you're really, really attention starved so u need people to pay attention to you to the point u don't care how they're doing that, u will welcome anything, even if it's negative

Skyrim Scenery 8/∞

We were together in our 10s, 20s, and 30s. So, even if we don't talk, we know a lot, and have lots in common. I felt that a lot. Now that I'm getting older, too, what you said in the past totally makes sense. What she experienced before, now I understand. So I want to say once again that I'm so grateful.

One of the things that amazes me the most about the trilogy is how subtly Collins molds Katniss' mindset to a softer and more understanding place. And how does she do it?

Through Peeta.

Peeta is the embodiment of empathy, love, and kindness, which is one of the first things Katniss notices about him. He is the first person to deciphers the main goal of the games: to pit the districts against one another, as mere pawns to the Capitol.

Katniss imitates Peeta more than we think.

In the first book, when her ally Rue is killed, she finally understands that Peeta had figured it out before tepping foot in the arena. She begins to rethink her animal instincts that made her kill Marvel without a second thought, wondering what the games had made of her.

She understands, what she and had Gale refused to at the beginning of the book, when he says that killing a human is no different. But it is different, and this is a point of epiphany for her. She covers Rue with flowers to show that she is not a piece in their games.

Ultimately, this change leads to the final move with the berries that sparks the rebellion. It is Peeta's ideology of non-conformity and rebellion through non-violence that saves them both and leads their country to freedom.

Additionally, in Catching her demeanour towards the other victors is amusing to say the least. It is obvious that she has let go of her survivalist mentality, she gives the victors a chance (even the most extreme ones such as Cashmere, Glass and Enobaria ) to view them as they really are, setting aside the Capitol created image.

Peeta’s empathy and moral integrity underpin her actions and decisions as she leads the rebellion, she conveys that true leadership involves compassion and understanding, and not just strategy and strength.

Through Peeta, she learns to love more and to have more understanding for the people around her, whether it be her prep team or a career tribute. Peeta's existence is what primarily helps her survive and prevents her from adopting Gale's extreme realist approach to war.

Katniss is the apex of the love triangle, representing the middle ground between Peeta and Gale's liberal and realist approaches. However, she is unsure of her stance at the beginning of the first book.

“Not people,” I say. “How different can it be, really?” says Gale grimly. The awful thing is that if I can forget they’re people, it will be no different at all.

Throughout Mockingjay, Katniss often finds herself at odds with Gale’s strategies, especially when they involve potential civilian casualties. And even then Peeta is physically absent, his voice rings at the back of her head. Even in his semi hijacked state he manages to guide Katniss in his propos.

"Is this really what we want to do? Kill ourselves off completely? In the hopes that — what? Some decent species will inherit the smoking remains of the earth?”

Peeta brings out this sympathetic side, and so she symbolically becomes a neutral ground between Gale and Peeta's mindsets. She embodies the balance between a liberal and realist approach to war.

a very popular fandom post claims it is absolutely DISGUSTING and morally REPREHENSIBLE that people ship Jimmy (a rapist!!!!) and Curly (a guy who enabled a rapist and then became the victim of his abuse!!!!) from a dark horror-tragedy game!!! cue plenty of people chiming in to say that we good pure Christians should NEVER explore a disgusting and twisted abusive relationship in a fictional context, between two morally shitty characters! that is WRONG and DEVIANT!!

so of course I went looking for the gross disgusting content I was promised, and...

there's literally 6 pages on AO3, guys. And one page on Tumblr. I think you can chill.

I think a pro endo replied to one of our posts saying "it's not punk to be ableist, get out" and then perhaps got so scared, they deleted them so we cant even reply LMAO.

It's not ableist to be anti-endo, we are not the ones who harass mentally ill people, some even threatening to take away safe spaces from them.

Also if you claim to "not be disordered" it's not. Ableism. Sorry you don't know what words mean.

I am loving the fact that we all gather around and collectively lose our minds over queer content again and again
