that being said, love is also very important in the plot of the hunger games. even just platonically

i'm sorry but i'll never shut up about how katniss and finnick were literally each other's rocks. they were all each other had. i'd even say they were each other's lifelines because they knew what the other felt, and finnick probably more so in the sense that he's had experience with being in the capitol and he knew what they were doing to annie & peeta. and the way he was always looking out for katniss. letting her rant, being a safe space for her and a place of comfort. my favourite platonic soulmates <3

i think finnick and katniss’s friendship was what made her realise, in a way, that’s what real friendship looks like (not the gale bullshit).

katniss and gale’s last conversation is so crazy because she saw her sister get blown up by a bomb of gale’s design and when she asks if it was actually theirs he says, “does it matter?” DOES IT FUCKING MATTER??? and then proceeds to feel sorry for himself because she’ll never want to date him now that HE GOT HER SISTER KILLED.

bro really was like ‘hmmm how can i make this about myself’

the amount of layers in thg is so underrated, i notice new things every time i read them
