snow’s “I hate mockingjays because they exist despite the capitol’s intent” and maysilee’s “I hate mockingjays because they’re part mutt and I dont want anything that has to do with the capitol” and haymich’s “I think they’re resilient and stand for surviving against all odds” and katniss’s “mockingjays remind me of my father and the other district 12 tributes before me and though they mean resistance to others, nobody can take that away from me” which brings us back to lucy gray’s “nothing you can take from me was ever worth keeping”

rereading catching fire and it's insane how i never fully understood before the bigger picture of snow needing to be "convinced" of katniss and peeta's love for each other and how they were doomed from the very start of that.

it's not that they were bad at performing it. she says it herself, they're "borderline delirious in their love for each other" in public constantly. and not to mention, they really do enjoy each other's company and are around each other 24/7 during this time, never apart. they got publicly engaged. what more could they have even done??? started having sex on the stage???

literally nothing they would have done would have been enough. whatever katniss and peeta did couldn't satisfy snow because he is undyingly determined to project his own past onto this. no matter what, katniss will be equated to lucy gray in his eyes so she can never truly convince him that she loves peeta - because he is delusional.

reading the books growing up as a kid with autism, i just took everything katniss said and thought literally and was completely unable to read between the lines- and we all know that her perception of things is pretty unreliable. katniss, who is unaware that she actually is for real in love with peeta at this point, is convinced that SHE has somehow failed because she hasn't put on a good enough show. the irony is to the rest of the world, you're doing a perfectly good job babe because you both are LITERALLY IN LOVE, but snow will just never believe that because of a personal vendetta.

Katniss: Uh, I think I got your lunch. *Holds up a note that reads: ‘I am very proud of you. Love, Haymitch’* Peeta: Oh yeah. I didn’t think this was for me. *Holds up a note that reads: ‘Be good. For the love of God, Please be good.’*

«|[ He Turns Dog ]|»

this was the scene where Spider truly saw the monster his father truly was. Not the boogeyman in stories, the source of his cursed blood. But the true, physical body in action.

he goes dog. his father goes dog. feral military K-9 bred and raised and beaten into biting anything that moves. a dog that needs to be muzzled. put down. a dog that was and was brought back wrong.

while this edit works without context, I am a believer that Q, amongst several other issues overarching issues, has BPD, or something similar. and because of it he has manic/manic-like episodes. And I think for Spider, after very likely seeing months of his dad at his best (I also believe the only part of Q that isn't rotten to the core is the part of him that is a father. so in the months he's just hiking Pandora with his son, he is as close to "well" in the head that he's capable of. including the vague stability of his BPD), seeing that sudden shift into true mania, or what I call "The Colonel", a being more monster then man, driven by only his goal and a lust for blood and control, who cares little for any other being but himself and in a small way, Spider.

where eyes once warm and nearly softly towards him have gone icy cold, so cold Spider feels like prey beneath them for the first time. like he is in danger. and he has to see the absolute worst if his father. it would scare him shitless. a type of primal fear he doesn't know what to do with.

the scene in the village is when Spider sees the worst of his father after months of seeing the best. and not only is this his first time meeting that side of Q, he has to argue with it. fight it off the ledge of absolute violence and bloodshed. he has to beg it to have mercy. this is a son looking at his father and not recognizing him.

Spider knew his father was violent. knew he was evil. knew he was cruel. but knowing and getting to see it are two very different things. and that is traumatic for anyone, let alone a child. let alone the captive prisoner of the man.

big disclaimer: I do not think BPD is the only thing going on with Q, nor do I think it is his main problem. he is a monster and he also happens to have BPD, which is only making the previous factor 100x worse, but is not the cause. I do not think BPD is what makes him a terrible person. before anyone takes it that way. I just think the way he acts is reflective of the disorder and explains a lot of what makes him tick and the way in which he functions.

a lot of my inspo comes from the many convos me and @hyperfixatedfandomer have had about this freak of a man and his son. they're the one who started this whole concept in my head and I have been plagued by it (/pos) ever since. so blame them for this 💞💞💞
