GLAD SOMEONE SAID THIS

in which Katniss contemplates Gale and Peeta (one of the many times), futures with them:

Gale:

Gale comes up behind me and we examine each other's reflection. I'm searching for something to hang on to, some sign of the girl and boy who met by chance in the woods five years ago and became inseparable. I'm wondering what would have happened to them if the Hunger Games had not reaped the girl. If she would have fallen in love with the boy, married him even. And sometime in the future, when the brothers and sisters had been raised up, escaped with him into the woods and left 12 behind forever. Would they have been happy, out in the wild, or would the dark, twisted sadness between them have grown up even without the Capitol's help?

Peeta:

But his arms are there to comfort me. And eventually his lips. On the night I feel that thing again, the hunger that overtook me on the beach, I know this would have happened anyway. That what I need to survive is not Gale's fire, kindled with rage and hatred. I have plenty of fire myself. What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again. And only Peeta can give me that.

The bit about the "dark, twisted sadness" with Gale lets me know that it's not just about Gale's role in Prim's death because Katniss is imagining a world where Prim is alive and well, and still there's something dark and wrong able to grow between them. Because Gale has shown her repeatedly the ways in which he lets her down, dismisses her, is unkind to her - often at times when she desperately needs him to just be there for her, to understand her. He has rage and hatred that doesn't serve Katniss or who she is.

Compared to Peeta, who steadies her and stays beside her after undergoing horrific trauma. Still he works hard to be able to be beside her in the way that she needs. He is hope, he is rebirth, he is goodness. He is what's precious to her and he shows her that time and time again. He is there for her in ways she didn't even know she needed, and when he's gone she painfully feels his absence.

"I know this would have happened anyways" - mind you, she's known of Peeta before she knew of Gale. And I believe this is her (romantic daydreaming self) recognising that they would've always found their way to each other, even without the games (though that certainly put things into motion and sped them up).

It was always going to be Peeta and Suzanne Collins was very intentional about that throughout the trilogy.

I will always remember this scene from the movie and quote it just for fun

ALMOST FAMOUS 2000, dir. Cameron Crowe

why did no one put me on the movie "Almost Famous" earlier. it's such a good movie. a dude in my class recommended it and lowkey didn't believe him until I watched it. why is Russell Hammond so fine. why is Penny lane so mysterious. it's so good.

you guys don't understand how obsessed I am with cillian murphy and his roles that he so amazingly plays.

if someone ever asks me why I love him so much:

"oh me? I just really admire his work.. as an actor."

how can someone want to be loved and love someone so badly, but only feel darkness once they get a slice of it.

it's interesting how people adapt and change over periods of time. i went from never wanting to be alone, dreading the thought that one day it could happen and no one would be there. now, i yearn for moments of solitude, whether big or small, to cope with the stresses of the world to just exist in this busy, aching world.
