okay, yes, Haymitch did choose Katniss in that first arena, whether it was because he thought she had a better chance, or because Peeta oozed martyrdom, or because of personal loyalties to Burdock, or all of the above — but as soon as it becomes possible to save both of them, let’s not forget that Haymitch is doing his damndest to save Peeta too; he is getting the money for drugs and food and expensive medicine; he was prioritizing Katniss initially, but the line “he loves Peeta too” isn’t in there for no reason; Haymitch didn’t have to save them both; he could have communicated “cut your losses; he’s too wounded and too much of a liability” to Katniss, (who, again did not need Peeta or the romance to survive at that point in the Games) but no! he wanted to save them both, and he did

Delta Slim is also just like. God. The way he grabs the guitar for Sammie before they run upstairs, the way he wants Sammie to introduce himself. Everyone is fighting for Sammie to live on in this film but Slim is fighting at every point for Sammie’s music because he understands how important it is.

Y’all are too mean to Grace she was a mother risking it all to save her daughter. I don’t even want kids and I can understand that. It’s like y’all had zero empathy for Grace but are willing to babygirlify Remmick I’m sick of y’all. Anyway Grace Chow they could never make me hate you.

inspired by this post, but hen and chim call each other best friend with so much love and fondness. 'you're the best friend i've ever had, chim, and i can't imagine my life without you.' and it's so interesting because buddie is the complete opposite. they usually only refer to each other as best friend when something negative is happening or if they feel like they are lying to one another

1. buck during the tsunami worrying how he was going to tell his best friend that he lost his son

2. buck talking about maiming his best friend, something he did due to misguided feelings

3. buck spiraling out because he lied to his best friend

4. eddie confessing to a priest that HE lied to his best friend

5 + 6. buck being sad that his best friend is in texas and then being in deep denial when maddie brings up the fact he might be in love with his best friend

the tonal shift between henchim and buddie is insane to me. we have chimney saying things like, 'you are my best friend. my very opinionated, sometimes wrong best friend. you were trying to protect me, and i love you for that.' versus buck and eddie who almost hide behind the term best friend? also the fact that we had only heard buck call eddie his best friend ONCE prior to buck's bi arc.

it's especially telling that the only time eddie says it, it is in a confessional after a noticeable pause. they don't use the term best friend like it is something to be celebrated a lá henchim. they use it like it isn't the right title, but it's all they have.

Much has been said about how dumb Buck was projecting his feelings of jealousy over Eddie onto Tommy (and it’s true, he’s so dumb) but also let’s talk about how dumb Eddie is being besties with Tommy for like a week and then suddenly deciding he fuckin hates that guy after Buck starts dating him.

WHEN HARRY MET SALLY (1989) dir. Rob Reiner

i know i talk about the competition scene a lot (bc it’s absolute cinema) but something i always think when i watch it is that tommy mostly implied that eddie had feelings for buck, not the other way around, and this is yet to be mentioned in canon bc buck straight up didn’t realise. off the top of my head, the only thing he says about buck’s potential feelings is “you’re living in the guy’s house” of course followed by the notorious renter & straight line from buck. but the conversation starts with him calling eddie “competition” which heavily implies that he thought eddie was actively trying to get with buck. tommy was in competition with eddie bc they were both going for the same prize. and the “he’s straight” “*scoff* okay” also doesn’t make sense if he was just trying to call out buck on his feelings bc he’s literally suggesting eddie is queer, which at its most basic level has nothing to do with buck.

that’s why it’s so so so interesting that buck immediately starts defending himself. he doesn’t even really register that tommy is saying eddie has feelings for him bc he’s prepared himself to shut down people suggesting he loves eddie. realistically he’s probably been preparing for this since he realised he was bi - maybe longer. he had his reasons ready to go and he didn’t hesitate in the slightest to whip them out. and the only reason he would have given himself those reasons is if he knew he loved eddie but thought, consciously, that he could avoid it if he was logical about it. and logic to him is that he can’t be in love with eddie bc eddie is straight (this is, obviously, shit logic).

my very long-winded point is that i think when buck said “he’s straight” he wasn’t even really defending eddie lol he was just defending himself. he hadn’t registered that tommy had called eddie super gay, he had only registered that he thought buck loved eddie, and he just wanted to shut it down. it’s also why his response to “*scoff* okay” is “i don’t have to want to sleep with everyone i have feelings for, and i don’t have to have feelings for everyone i sleep with” which tbh doesn’t make much sense as a reply to tommy essentially saying “eddie’s queer”. bc buck fundamentally was refusing to hear him. his reason for not being in love with eddie is so deeply ingrained in him that he can’t even comprehend the idea of anything different. eddie could probably come out to him and buck would be like “no.” anyway yeah he’s consciously in love with eddie and doing a shit job at hiding it.

who knows where this road may go?

buck trying to prove a point to show that he and eddie are just friends so he full on flirts with eddie. eddie who has never been the target of buck's intentional flirting is speedrunning his gay realization and getting all flustered, staring at buck with his big brown bambi eyes and flushed cheeks. cue buck getting flustered too because his plan is backfiring so hard right now
