Haymitch loves both of his grandchildren deeply, but there's something special about him finally getting to watch a little brother grow up in a world without a reaping.

I think something extremely irritating with the whole "Peeta is useless" argument is the movies completely robbed him of his strengths, literally, viscerally as well. Anyone who has watched only the movies doesn't hear all of Katniss's inner monologues and observations. For example......

Movie Peeta after dying in Catching Fire: *totally good nbd*

Book Peeta after dying in Catching Fire: *exhausted and completely worn out, still helps with everyone (dragging Finnick into the water, helping Katniss with Beetee, carrying Katniss out of the Jabber Jay wedge and back to the beach, alternating with Finnick and carrying Beetee to the lightning tree, killing Brutus, etc.) AND ALL WITH A PROESTHETIC LEG* Finnick: Can you walk? Katniss: No, he needs to rest. Peeta: If we go slowly. Finnick: Slow would be better than not at all.

Movie Peeta is kinda "useless" because he has very little to overcome. I think Josh did a great job with what he was given, but so many little things about Peeta are missed. He carried her up and down the stairs every day when she was recovering from her fall over the fence in the book, which wasn't translated to the movie.

He strengthened her image in the Capitol not once, but twice. He gave her the spotlight, and took backstage. Peeta gives her strength. He supports her, he agrees to leave without a second thought, even though he knows she won't go. He lets her feel what she's feeling about Gale and doesn't feel entitled to her feelings. He doesn't push anything physical on her. Doesn't expect more of her than she's willing to give. He exhibits so many examples of goodness, and she needs goodness. He's the hope of life. She is a shell of a person without him. Yes, she can function, but if she'd been able to drink...she'd have been just as drunk as Haymitch. Losing Peeta, broke her. She needs him.

What I need to survive is not Gale's fire, kindled with rage and hatred. I have plenty of fire myself. What I need is the dandelion in the spring, the bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on again, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again. And only Peeta can give me that. -- Mockingjay (This is from memory, please don't yell at me if it's not perfect.)

Also observation I just noticed, she doesn't need Gale to survive, but she needs Peeta. There's nothing about needing him to survive. It just goes back to what she said in the Quarter Quell...

I do. I need you.

This season. Ben. Ben arrived as a, like a, a confident actor in a different way. And you can, I mean, I just, This is the Ben I remember the most. it is like, This is Ben is just having the best time. He's having so much fun playing this character. And we are just dying. -Rider 

That scene with Ben and I in the student union, when we realize and he snaps and I stand up, I  remember those moments of us just playing like, and, and it is so much fun. 'Cause the mind meld that Rider you and Ben had, you and Ben. Ben and I also had from being in all the, you know, all the, when you think about how funny it is that I do really think all those storylines of angsty relationship, Cory and Topanga stuff bonded us as people. Not even just the characters, but they bond. It bonded us in a way that we had a shorthand.  And it was so much fun. It was so much fun to watch. -Danielle

It is really nice to have Cory and Topanga played for comedy. Like to have that you guys doing hi jinks and like having your own, it's, it's a very Cory/Shawn dynamic finally. And it's, You know, it's, it's really nice to see. -Rider

"Haymitch said if we were to be allies I had to bring [Nuts and Volts] to you." - Catching Fire, Ch. 22

After Sunrise on the Reaping, I 1000% believe that this was Haymitch trying to protect them. He knew if he could get them to Katniss, there was at least a chance that he might be able to save them, too.

I'm sorry, I'll show myself out...

Hey Hunger Games fandom...you should go vote for this on LEGO ideas! 😁

[peetasallhehasleft]

do you ever just sit and think about the “they can pump whatever they want into my arm but it takes more than that to keep a person going once she's lost the will to live” insanity that suzanne was playing with us?

the next level cruelty to make katniss ‘i’m not sure if i can afford to love anyone besides my sister in this dark world’ everdeen fall in love. with a boy seemingly destined to die? leaving katniss to rapidly descend into soul-crushing despair. ready to die as she comes to terms with her lover’s fate.

all while refusing to say those cursed words? that she loves him. traumatized, confused by her intense, raw emotion. desperate that maybe, just maybe, if she doesn’t acknowledge it, they won’t be able to use him against her.

and maybe then he can be saved? saved from the bitter fate that nooses her loved ones. leaving her, the one left behind, to suffer in her hell alone.

always waiting for her boy with the bread to come back for her. just as the bell strikes midnight.

so yeah, do you think about that? because i do.

Apparently, my first Hunger Games fic is on TV Tropes and I supposedly used 13 different kinds of tropes...is that a good thing or a bad thing?

[peetasallhehasleft]

The more I read Catching Fire, the more I notice how little Katniss and Peeta actually discuss what they're going to do. It's gestures, few words, and more often than not, there's no lead up to anything...they're just working together effortlessly.

It really goes to prove just how in sync they are, and when she's thrown so off balance with him gone, because they can't sync up. It's like having salt and needing pepper. Can't have one without the other.

After the monkey's when they pull Finnick into the water. Katniss and Peeta cleaning off Beetee. (That's as far as I am in my current rereading.)

It's just crazy to me how anyone can say that she didn't need Peeta. He lost a leg and grew a Katniss. Bad joke, but honestly. They're sympatico.

My dad just sent me this from our local grocery store. And all I think of now is Sunrise on the Reaping and Haymitch. ❤️

Excerpt from Chapter 1:

"And what are we doing here?" Madge teases. "Spying on Peeta?" She laughs. "I thought we were done doing that, ya know, after the Games." Katniss stares at her dumbfounded. "Delly's right," she gives Katniss a gentle poke. "You two have always been observing each other over the years. I never even went after Peeta, because I thought at some point the two of you would have gotten over your shyness and talked to each other." She turns to stand face to face with Katniss. "I'm just sorry that the Games had to jumpstart things."
