So you're telling me Peeta practically ran to 12 the moment he was discharged by that therapist guy, and the first thing he did upon his arrival was to look for primroses, to plant them by the windows of Everdeen's house so Katniss could not only, even though metaphorically, finally bury her baby sister and mourn in peace, but also have a tiny piece of Prim living nearby every time the flowers bloomed. Thus, comforting her was on his mind throughout the entirety of his recovery, and by heart, he always knew what to do to help her?
Another one of the Peeta moments that rot in my brain constantly is the scene in catching fire when Katniss and Finnick get stuck with the Jabberjays.
Peeta had his hands pressed against the force field, trying so so hard to be there for her and wanting so badly to protect her. And when it finally ended he held her, and rocked her, and let her hide her face in his arms, and protected her for as long as she needed him to and…..that’s just so ughhhh….so heartbreakingly sweet.
i see people constantly breaking down over how hijacked peeta still remembered katniss’s favorite color but i feel that the fact that he gave her a canned lamb stew is a little bit overlooked??? like- despite everything they did to him, his memories from their time in the cave (and maybe more things, but i’m headed in that direction bc in mockingjay katniss specifically thought about when they ate the stew together) during the 74th games were so engraved in his mind that he saw the can, read the label saying “lamb stew” and he thought about how she had enjoyed that dish so much that they ended up deciding to wait an hour to eat another serving back when they were in the arena, so he gave the can to her because he wanted her to have the pleasure of eating her favorite capitol dish once more. i’m incredibly sick.
something about katniss growing up eating bread from peeta’s bakery and peeta growing up eating her father’s and katniss’s squirrels… nourishing each other and keeping each other alive even before the games made it apparent
"I like to watch his hands as he works, making a blank page bloom with strokes of ink, adding touches of color to our previously black and yellowish book. His face takes on a special look when he concentrates. His usual easy expression is replaced by something more intense and removed that suggests an entire world locked away inside him."
" (...) One afternoon Peeta stops shading a blossom and looks up so suddenly that I start, as though I were caught spying on him, which in a strange way maybe I was. But he only says, “You know, I think this is the first time we've ever done anything normal together.”
“Yeah,” I agree. Our whole relationship has been tainted by the Games. Normal was never a part of it. “Nice for a change.” ”
I am convinced that the more I reread the trilogy, the more down bad Katniss just seems. Like, look at this
Her mother literally just said "someone they love", talking about Gale, and despite that whole paragraph of her thoughts regarding her feeling for Gale, what she actually says in reply is "Where's Peeta". Making subconscious connections about love there, Katniss?
"You've seen how people are, when someone they love is in pain" (Gale literally injured on the table)
"Where's Peeta?"
And this is immediately after
"There's a long pause."
Like girl, hang up, tf?! You just listening to him breathe? Lol.
