Not Haymitch being the legal guardian of Katniss in Capitol and District 13.

In mockingjay,

Haymitch is annoyed about Katniss ripping off her earpiece, and he is showing her different PERMANENT earpiece option as a threat.

He specifically says, " I will AUTHORIZE them to surgically implant this transmitter into your ear".

Authorize, not ask them or tell them but AUTHORIZE.

That imples he has had to NOT authorize previous District 13 demands. Just like in the Capitol with breast enhancement surgery.

Few pages back, Asterid says how she didn't know Katniss was going to 8 till she was already gone. And Katniss goes, I'm sorry I'll ask them to clear everything with you.

And asterid replies, "Katniss no one clears anything from me".

Asterid is not Katniss' Legal Guardian anymore, Haymitch is. He has been running around for god knows how long keeping her safe and sane.

The I wonder is he the reason Katniss got discharged from the hospital while Finnick stays in a drug haze?

Is he the reason they leave her be when she doesn't follow schedule?

Is he the reason they let her hide in pipes and closets?

And I'm reminded of lil Haymitch taking care of even littler children during his games. Wondering why they all come to him. And he's fails to keep any one of them alive.

Except Katniss. That's a daughter thrusted to him. And he's trying so fucking hard to not let her die too.

I'm gonna go cry now

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

Remember when “born this way” by lady gaga came out and it was the most popular pride anthem in existence? You couldn’t step outside without one of us same sex lovers wearing a flag and singing “just love yourself and you’re set, I’m on the right track baby, I was BORN this way.” Pepperidge farm remembers.

I spent so many years trying to reconcile being trans with collectivism and came out of it with no other recourse than concluding that there is nothing more hyper-individualistic and solely self serving than the trans movement. cannot imagine the cognitive dissonance going on with all the TRAs that still believe they're somehow communists/anarchists or fighting individualism and capitalism or whatever

Hey so I’m aware that it is also men’s mental health month and I just wanted to remind everyone that the reason why men’s suicide rates are so high is because men tend to choose more violent ways to do it which leads to them not surviving their attempts.

Women actually attempt more but we tend to choose less violent ways (like pills) which means we survive our attempts more.

transgenderism and transracialism are the exact same bullshit to me. i don't get how one's valid and the other's not.

“I was literally a nazi just four years ago”

its a lil weird to actively seek out radfem blogs just to get upset and mad at the owner. i have no real power, i'm literally just a teenage girl with a blog where i share my opinions to others with similar values. you don't have to interact, its that simple

A decade ago I went to pride and it was about 70% gay events, 20% lesbian events and 10% trans stuff.

Granted I think the split should have been different, lesbians and bisexuals should have gotten way more space.

As it's pride month I looked up the same pride this year and it's 70% trans events with the rest of the community having to split the remainder. Oh and this year's theme is "transgender acceptance"

That's not even counting that the lesbian only events and Dykes on Bikes are now full of males.

I feel so lost, lesbians have always been pushed aside but now it feels like we don't even exist.

“People with breasts” and “men” being in the same sentence is really the icing on the shit cake

Good-bye, Maysilee Donner,

who I loathed, then grudgingly respected, then loved. Not as a sweetheart or even a friend. A sister, I'd said.

katniss’s first memory of Peeta happens with baby clothes:

She tries to sell the last things she can to survive. When no one buys, she drops Prim’s old clothing in a muddle puddle and leaves them there. She’s too weak to survive, too weak to kneel down and pick them up. She gave up. She was going to let the community home take them— give in to the one thing she had fought so hard to prevent:

Then, Peeta tosses her the bread. She doesn’t tell us if she goes back for the threadbare clothing, she instead runs home to Prim.

He didn’t just save her life, he saved Katniss’s reason to live: preventing Prim from getting taken to the community home.

If we examine this more generally as a metaphor:

Katniss had given up on kids. She dropped the last hope she had about having children in that mud puddle. She spent all day in front of adults, none of whom spared her any food or help. She realized she could not care for herself, never mind a child. The only person who helped her reclaim her position as protector was Peeta.

She was forced to leave the dream of caring for the child behind until Peeta arrived. Until the bread.

So it makes sense he would ask for a child and ensure the safety to care for them in the epilogue. It’s her going back for the baby clothes. Only now, she’s not too weak to pick them back up.
