Peeta: I'd like to wake up with you every day for the rest of our lives.

Katniss: I wake up at 5am every day to go hunting.

Peeta: I'd like to see you at some point every day for the rest of our lives.

I really adore the moment in Catching Fire where Katniss and Finnick prank Peeta while he's sleeping. Not only because it's a moment of Katniss being goofy and pranking her crush like the kid she forgets she is but because Finnick is twenty four and acting like the kid he never got to be.

You know what I'm gonna COMPLAIN!

Vanilla sex isn't "wholesome sex"! Sex is not more pure just because it's done within the framework of a monogamous relationship and free from elements of kink!

"Person is so pure they probably don't even know what sex is." Purity isn't defined by the distance from sex! As if the more a person encounters sex in any context the less pure their soul becomes!

You🫵are not immune to propagating the beliefs and ideas of purity culture!

As a formed soff hayffie shipper SOTR really shows how much love haymitch has for everyone he cares for.

Hayffie is almost a trauma bond of sorts and i think that plus effies kindness despite being from the capitol is why haymitch feels for her.

Its not romantic love but love nonetheless

Do you think Wyatt Callow died early protecting Lou Lou so that people back home made no money on his death. He knew his odds, he knew he wasn't supposed to die protecting someone, that he wasn't supposed to die in the bloodbath, and that's why he did it. One last fuck you to the people trying to make money on his death.

“because he loves Peeta too” is the only line ever because it tells us, with the plainest read of the text, that Haymitch loves Peeta just as Katniss loves Peeta; so Katniss admits she loves Peeta here; and, read another way, I think it also tells us that Haymitch loves Katniss, and he loves Peeta too

and Katniss knows they are loved by Haymitch (she articulates it more later, but the fact that she reaches for his comfort also speaks volumes), which is just … a whole thing …

and he’s there for his sweetheart, immediately, and they��re united in their grief over Peeta, even as everyone else is fretting about how they’ve lost their propaganda piece

he didn’t want to let them in and this is why — and he does know what she’s feeling, more than she can handle hearing right now, not only because of his past, but because he too is watching Peeta’s decline, and Katniss’s decline because of it … so he just tells her he knows, and he holds her

this messed up little family has my heart

I am a huge fan of retiring to my quarters

Seeing this serious, battle-hardened gangster smile while holding his baby girl, being able to be with Annie for all eternity, and finally finding peace makes my heart melt.

What I wouldn’t give for one, just ONE paragraph in Peeta’s perspective straight from Suzanne Collins herself.

Any paragraph at all, could be him waking up on the reaping, any of those nights on the train, when Katniss finally finds him in the arena, when he joins up with careers, when he dies in the second arena, when he chokes Katniss in 13, painting, literally ANYTHING, even some random ass scene that we have to guess.

Because I know he’s a key character to Katniss’s story but there’s still so much to know and I want too.

One thing I appreciate about Ryan Coogler is how he writes villains. He always makes sure they aren’t evil for the sake of being evil. He gives them a reason for being evil, even if you don’t agree with their actions

Some days, I can't help but to pity Gale. I know his position in the fandom is well established as the prim reaper, but gale song by the lumineers altered by brain chemistry and I've been obsessing over him. Gale is as much as a tragedy as Katniss and Haymitch. Imagine being a child and having to take care of other younger more scared children bcs your father died, and the only way to do so was by worsening your chances at the already unjust tesserae system. Imagine watching your only friend, the girl you think you love, be sent to her almost certain death, and the only thing you can do is feed her family while already struggling to feed yours. Imagine watching that same girl return, but it's no longer her and it never will be bcs she saw and experienced horrors beyond your imagination. You will never get her back. And you try, you really try, but maybe not in the right way. You will never truly understand. Imagine starting to work in the mines, the same mines that killed your father, because it's the only way to sustain your family now. The same forests that made you feel alive are too dangerous now. Also, you WILL be wiped to almost death, and you can't even be angry bcs a wave of repression is going through your town: the peacekeepers are more violent, the pay from the mines is minimal, the food is starting to scarce, and your own little brother is starting to follow your steps and take tesserae. Imagine watching the girl you already lost because of the games be sent back, with even less chances to survive, and again, there's nothing you can do. Imagine having your district bombed, your home destroyed, your people killed. You manage to save 900, you managed to save Katniss's family, but the rest? They are lost. You couldn't save them. In response, you work your ass for three days to somehow feed those 900 people in the woods until a beacon of hope appears and you are rescued. Imagine that, finally, after being powerless, angry, hurt, and watching the genocide of your people, you finally have a chance to strike back. Or at least you think so. To what extent are you being manipulated by Coin? At the end of the day, you don't care, you finally can do something. So you design the bombs. And that costs you everything. Your bombs, though you will never be a hundred percent sure, killed the little girl you swore to protect and fought to save for so long. The bombs took your home, and now they take your best friend too, because Katniss will never see you the same way again. You finally and irremediably lost her. And it's your own fault. Everything that came before can be blamed on the capitol, on your father's death, on your poverty, on the world that you lived in. But when you finally had the power of choice to change your live? You picked the wrong option. But you're just a kid. A kid that has been angry, lost, hurt, and thrust with so many responsibilities since the day your father died. All you've ever known is violence and hate. The only person beyond your family that you trust and love and care for leaves you, and you can't even blame her because it's your own fault, and, to be honest, she IS better without you. You never had a chance, did you? You tried to be a savior, but you aren't, are you? Someone always gets hurt. You always fail someone, either Katniss, Prim, yourself, or the hundreds of people you didn't save. Maybe that's why you leave behind everything and settle in district 2. Maybe there the ghosts of district 12 won't haunt you as loudly.

Goose family headcanon

Katniss and Peeta rely on each other to get through their bad nights and their nightmares, and they feel bad that Haymitch is on his own when he has bad nights, so if they hear him having a bad night one or both of them will go over to his and they'll have a cuddle puddle where all three of them keep each other company through the night. Initially they all feel a bit weird about this but Haymitch is so grateful for the intervention that they all soon get over it.

When Effie visits them she finds this arrangement very, very, very odd.

The affection between Black men in Sinners!

Smoke and Stack hugging and saying ‘I love you’ before they part ways in the corn field

Stack’s excitement and cheering as he listens to Sammie’s music while the two of them cruise down the road.

Delta Slim playing with Sammie and mentoring him by explaining the historical and spiritual significance of music to their community.

The way Smoke and Delta and all the others place their bodies in between Sammie and Remmick when the cards are laid before them, holding out an arm to stop Sammie from sacrificing himself; insisting that they’re going to die before they let Sammie leave through that door.

The protective and desperate way Smoke clutches onto Sammie in the final act; Remmick burning up in front of them and Smoke wrapped around Sammie to shield and comfort him and provide another barrier between them and the vampires just in case.

Stack showing up, telling Sammie he’s been following his career the whole of his life, collecting his albums because that’s his little cousin! He’s known him, they’ve known him, and isn’t it amazing to see how far he’s come?Supporting him from a distance, but supporting him nonetheless.

The option Sammie is given at the very end, and the way his choice is honored. Because as much as Stack (and Mary) love him, theirs is not a possessive love. It’s the selfless kind, that they will not try to hold onto Sammie past his time, but instead make sure he knows how important and loved he has been in life.
