It always makes my heart clench thinking of how Peeta had such a low self esteem when he’s so loved by not just Katniss but Haymitch as well. He doesn’t feel like he’s worth saving and doesn’t think he’ll be missed much and it hurts. And yet even with the abuse and neglect it was implied he grew up with, he was still kind and gentle and just a good person in general. Peeta Mellark you’re so loved.

Truly drives me feral that "real or not real" involves Peeta verifying facts from before he was hijacked. And then the books end on "you love me, real or not real" because both he and Katniss now know it's a fact of life that Katniss loved him all this time.

You’ve heard of hopeless romantic? I’m a hopeless platonic

[manawari]

peeta : suffered an abusive childhood, low self-esteem, survived two hunger games, was willing to die multiple times throughout the series, lost his leg, was captured and tortured by the president and his men, his entire family died, lost his entire memory/sense of self, practically had nothing left to live for.

gale : lost his father at thirteen, had to risk his life every day to provide for his mother and all his younger siblings, watched the genocide of his people and was powerless to stop it, was whipped publicly until he almost bled out and died, was manipulated and exploited by a president who saw his trauma as a weapon she could use.

people who zero reading comprehension : “those boys only cared about katniss! she had a revolution to lead and they just dragged her down and focused only on kissing! the books would have been more nuanced without romance!”

My favorite writing trope has got to be "The plot twist is super obvious from early on, but it so obvious that you start doubting yourself".

It's such a good way to manipulate your reader's thoughts and also makes the plot twist still surprising and enjoyable! It's a great mindfuck.

Like for example, there's this character and they're all looking for this other character that is something of a chosen one idk. And you immediately can guess that this guy is that chosen one. But as the story progresses people are still not acknowledging this, the story still is trying to keep the identity of the chosen one a secret. And there's little bits of info about the chosen one character that our guy isn't even reacting to and is just going "Huh new info to find this dude."

And as this keeps happening all the time, the readers start to doubt themselves. "Is this guy actually just normal?" "It's so obvious that they're the same person but why aren't they reacting to anything?" "Are they actually different people?" "I still think they're the same person but is the plot twist that they're actually just two different characters?"

And than comes the reveal that yes, they are in fact the same person but the story was gaslighting you so hard that you doubted all your conclusions and now you're surprised to be proven right all along!

Is it evil? Yes.

Is it backstabbing? Absolutely.

Does it give you trust issues? More than a failed relationship.

Do I eat it up every single time? ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY

So far, in the TMR AU—

Jin-woo: *gets beaten tons of times, runs for his life, faces betrayal, and almost gets himself killed tons of times*

Jong-in: *a Griever stings him, starts to be plagued by fragments of his memories before the Glade, is skeptical of Jin-woo because he was the last person he saw, and witnesses somebody sacrifice themselves for him*

Yoon-ho: *WICKED takes him, tortures him for the cure, and is electrocuted*

Jin-ho: *jumps in front of Jin-woo and gets shot on the shoulder by Dong-suk, WICKED takes him, and is miraculously saved by his friends after raiding the train cabin he is in*

Byung-gyu: *is not an Immune, eventually gets exposed to The Flare*

Tae-gyu: *almost gets struck by lightning*

. . . I need to torture Tae-gyu more—
