Peeta Doodles

A real kiss in the snow this time

Hot take of the day: So many angsty romance tropes are made 10x more angsty when the love interest isn't a morally gray asshole and is a genuinely kind person who's trying their best to navigate the situation they're in without hurting anyone

Yeah I’ve always thought it was wild that so many people base a large part of their interpretation of Katniss on a single line said at one of her lowest points in the series

too often I see people take that final line as gospel: Katniss is a survivor, a strong independent woman who doesn’t need a man; these things are technically true, but they are not what Katniss wants; she does not affirm Gale’s assessment of her, though many readers completely take it at face value that he’s correct; she is offended (she says it’s a horrible thing for Gale to say) that he doesn’t think love or passion will sway her decision; she’s so affronted by it that she wants Peeta to defend her, because Peeta would know (again, subconsciously, she is aware she loves him in a way that could, if he was more sure of her feelings, allow him to defend her approach to relationship), not really considering that Peeta hardly knows his own favorite color, let alone how to psychoanalyze his kind-of-girlfriend in this state

TLDR: Katniss isn’t unfeeling and her choice of Peeta isn’t just because he was the only one there; in fact, ironically, she is explicitly repulsed by that characterization of her

Found out their ship name is Seblaine (and also that that's a couple from Glee too? idk I never watched it)

Getting sick around the fourth is hell. I just wanted some fresh air in my own backyard and instead I get second hand smoke from the sky

I’m watching my sister play Little Nightmares and I would die for this little girl I just want her to be SAFE

My father was martyred by Israel on 10 October 2023 after sacrificing his care in hospital so the injured children could take priority. Today would have been his 60th birthday. He was always selfless, kind, and giving for others. My father gave up everything for me to be able to have a better life, because that is what he always dreamed for me and my sister. The world suffered a great loss when he died, and my heart is always with him and every Palestinian who has lost someone.

In his honour and memory, I would love for anyone who is able to do so to consider donating to The Palestine Children’s Relief Fund.

The PCRF is an amazing organisation that does so much for those in Gaza right now, including helping provide food, water and medicine. You can donate any amount you are able to- there is no minimum! My father would have given his very last cent if he saw the way Palestine was continuing to suffer after over 100 days with this limited aid, so I know celebrating him by helping others is the least he would have wanted.

I saw @parrot-parent do a very successful donation match and I thought it was such a good idea so I will also match all donations up to $500! If you feel comfortable sending me proof of the amount of your donation, I will match it as a donation at the end of February. (My messages are set to mutuals only, but if you donate and we aren’t mutuals if you send an ask with the proof I will make sure to answer it privately.)

Hunger Games Thoughts

Genuine question: Do you think there's anything like social media in Panem? Obviously not in the districts, but like in The Capitol. And, if so, what do you think it'd be like?

SOTR Spoilers Ahead:

I've seen a couple of posts now about people's suspicion over The Capitol being able to find a girl that could replace Louella as fast as they did, especially after finding out Lou Lou's from District 11

But I'm gonna be honest, when I found out she was from District 11, it actually put a lot of the pieces together for me. My mind immediately went to Seeder, the D11 female victor in Catching Fire

If its been a second since you've read CF here's her description:

She looks like she could be from the seam. I wouldn't be surprised if Seeder's description is the reason SC chose D11 for Lou Lou tbh.

Also for making their faces match, I've always just kinda assumed fast fashion cosmetic surgery is common place for The Capitol so there's probably plenty of surgeons able to do the job quickly and well enough to pass her off as Louella to anyone who didn't know her.

And it’s not like they did a particularly clean job at it either. Their “solution” was so incredibly slapped together and messy (And that’s HORRIFIC because we’re talking about a CHILD). She’s hooked up to drugs 24/7, which could easily be ripped out, manipulated, etc. and also make her barely able to function and causes more problems for the Capitol than not. One thing that’s brought up over and over in sotr is the Capitol’s gross incompetence, but because of they’re good at propaganda, you wouldn’t realize it. Lou Lou’s another example of that

(Also....Seeder's in her 60s in CF...meaning she would have been a victor and, I dunno, old enough to have a 13 year old by the 50th Hunger Games...I'M NOT SAYING SHE'S LOU LOU'S MOM I'm just saying the timeline lines up weirdly well)
