Everlark impact of the Opening Ceremonies in The Hunger Games

Seeing Katniss being a normal teen, is so cute, crushing on Peeta while denying that she likes him.

Just here to say, that Katniss learnt that back & forth from Gale - the one she felt an obligation almost to have feelings for as her “best friend” (let’s be real, Madge was in fact her actual & consistent best friend). She KNOWS Peeta is kind, but because Gale gives her levels of what she perceives as kindness (due to not having emotional support from her mom) and then blows up about something (she mentions he often goes on rants & she doesn’t feel she can express herself or that he’ll listen), she expects the same of Peeta. How Gale treated Katniss informs how she sees herself & how she sees Peeta (because she likens him to Gale as a potential romantic partner if she lived in a different world). As someone who has worked with clients who have been through serious psychological abuse from narcissists, Katniss displays all the symptoms of a survivor of this & actually details a lot of stories where she glosses over Gale’s weaknesses in this. Many of the actual interactions she has with Gale support his narcissistic tendencies, including when he kisses her knowing she will get in trouble, constantly changes his mind about something when Katniss makes a decision & then belittling her about it, etc. he also can’t even own up to the bombs at the end of mockingjay, even though he knows. Also LOL at her saying he knows about fire as the bakers son, she only knows coz he BURNT THE BREAD. Everything comes back to it hehe. Haha, Katniss lowkey flirting w the humor but not knowing is the funniest thing to me. Im currently writing a Rue fic for fun & I laughed so hard when doing it, coz the 2 of them are so disassociated they wouldn’t have even had a clue if Rue & Thresh were watching them LOL. Also, my fav is Peeta as a rock - in all ways 😏 Peeta & Katniss are literally the cutest couple of all time in this scene, I can’t w the “plz don’t stop holding my hand” 🥹🥹 but also the way that she made the first move by kissing him on the cheek LOL. I never actually picked up on that. They would have had a lot of eyes on them in that moment. And then Peeta declared his love for her in the interview hahahaha. Also, plz talk more about Madge!!! I’d love to hear your thoughts!

She holds his hand so tightly that she must have stopped the circulation in his hand - could that be foreshadowing the tourniquet she makes for him at the end of the games? Probably a stretch but I love reading too deep into this

[@RachelARamras]

Oooh!!!!! Suzanne does so much foreshadowing so i buy it

I don't see a video of yours where this comment would better fit, so I'll put it here: Katniss is certain that she has sponsors and yet she nearly dies of thirst before she finds water. Latet she rationalizes that Haymitch didn't send it because she was close to finding it herself. But I don't buy that. Katniss is clearly in extreme distress and travels a far distance before she happens to stumble on it. It's more like Haymitch was making her earn the next parachute and not wasting effort on her if she wasn't able to find water... and later on finding water is not an issue at all.
