The incredibly simplicity and intricacies of Joel damning the world just to save his is so
Simple enough-he saved her over the world. Cool.
But if you think about it, he risked the world. It’s twenty years in to the apocalypse and it’s highly doubtful that a cure would’ve ever worked and would’ve been able to be properly distributed throughout the world, but I digress. The world now has no chance of survival. Their only chance, being Ellie was taken away from them. The only people who could’ve made one are dead. There are no chances anymore. Because Joel saw what would happen. Saw the choice he wasn’t given; the choice Ellie wasn’t given. Saw how they’d kill her, how they wouldn’t let him see her. Let him discuss with her about all this and if she really, truly wanted this despite her losing her life. He killed an entire hospital. Massacred just about everyone in there for trying to take her away. THE WHOLE WORLD? FOR ONE GIRL? Is that not,, so profound. Now, I know, the world is full of terrible people like all the hunters and bandits and cannibals and whatever else, but the amount of good people. Of good community’s that were still standing, like Jackson. Of young kids, couples, or families. Their chance at surviving this is gone. Joel didn’t care. I believe there wasn’t a lot of thought that went on in his mind. “She’s gonna die. I’m gonna lose another daughter. I can’t let that happen.” Just the fact he damned humanity any chance of any “saving grace” for one girl. That girl being his entire heart, soul, and world, of course. The most important person in his life.
Also if this indicated it in any way, I support Joel’s decision one thousand percent. Screw the fireflies, save your baby girl joel

Sorry not sorry, anytime I see someone say Peeta's childhood crush as obessive/creepy, I can tell they're reaching so hard or projecting. Because Peeta's crush on Katniss is literally so normal. He never acts on it until they're placed in a life or death situation and he only weaponizes it as a tool to keep HER alive. Peeta's affection for Katniss, is and has always been unconditional and innocent. It's so ick when people twist it into something it's not to perpetuate their narrative.
When he realizes that Katniss doesn't reciprocate his affections and may feel burdened by his affections, he put so much distance between him and Katniss that she admits to missing him and HE gets criticized by most of the fandom for freezing her out.
He has always been respectful to Katniss’s autonomy and respects her boundaries. Is he overly self-sacrificing and have little self worth? Yes, but in comparison to red flags in a partner, this is barely one at all. He’s not abusive at his own volition. Doesn’t guilt her for not liking him back or continuing their lover’s facade to keep their families safe. His flaw is workable and it’s never something that can harm Katniss physically or mentally (at least for the most part). And this is not to mention that Katniss shares these flaws as well.
At the same time, these examples of his self-sacrificing nature are placed within contexts where once again, Katniss and Peeta are planning to die for each other again. Where Peeta is doing the ruthless calculus of war and knowing in the grand scheme of things, his death will have less repercussions than Katniss’. He doesn’t have people relying on him to live. He’s not the one the rebellion is using as a symbol.
“Oh, but he used to watch her go home everyday-“ no. That’s what the movie said in that abysmal cave scene. Even if that were the case, it’s not like he’s stalking her- they go to the same school?? Some people act and cling to this instance as if he’s following her home and stealing her panties. All he’s ever done is watch her (and saved her life) and guess what??? Katniss was watching him too? She’s been taking sneak peeks at him too (oh, he can lift heavy bags of flour so easy, he came in second in the wrestling tournament. 🤨 Giirrrrrl) so I guess their both creepy and obsessive for each other. Match made in heaven 🤷♀️
