Im Thinking About The “peeta Forced Katniss Into Their Relationship” Take Because. It Irritates Me.

im thinking about the “peeta forced katniss into their relationship” take because. it irritates me.

first of all, no he didn’t. she had the choice not to engage with him further and she chose to do so. yes her life was on the line — but it wasn’t peeta’s confession that put her in that position, it was the capitol’s use of it for further entertainment. peeta’s intent with his confession was only give her an edge in the competition, not to somehow force her to fall in love with him in a situation in which he fully expected to die. going into the hunger games with the motivation of finding love would be a truly insane thing to do. peeta genuinely believes she can win, so he’s doing all he can do help her, both out of legitimate love and admiration for her, but also out of an honest belief in her survival skills. he’s not trying to date her; he’s trying to save her life.

but also like, even disregarding all the outside pressure, he had legitimate reason to believe she liked him back? because even before his confession she: talks about watching him in the market (my fav scene because like, okay katniss) and noticing his wrestling score, she kisses him on the cheek, she gets offended when he asks to be coached separately — it’s clear that even before peeta says he likes her that katniss is interested in him. obviously she rationalizes all of this because she’s katniss, but if we were watching this from anyones perspective but her own, we’d probably assume she liked him? i mean why does haymitch say “well well well” after they talk each other up? because he NOTICED. that’s where the star crossed lovers strategy begins. not with peetas confession but with haymitch watching them hype each other up and being like “oh damn they like each other” and haymitch being smart enough to realize that only genuine love can defeat the capitol!!!

anyway obviously i do not believe k/p was ever a one sided thing, not even before the games. peeta couldnt have forced her to like him by doing anything because she already did like him, she just didn’t know it. they both admired each other from afar and that’s why things “would have happened anyway” as katniss tells us. the games didn’t force them to be together, they made it difficult to sort out what was REAL OR NOT REAL! and what does katniss tell us in the very last line? it was all REAL.

Absolutely amazing how AO3 is a part of the internet that doesn't sneak in any ads and doesn't have an algorithm and doesn't watch you or record how much time you spend looking at each fic or whatever. It's just right there to use for free. Legend

honestly i think the fact that buck seeks approval and wants to feel like he’s useful to the people around him and that that impulse comes from a long history of being abandoned and neglected can coexist with the fact that buck feels a very genuine drive to help people with no ulterior motive. i think what it comes down to is that buck knows what it’s like to be very lonely and so he goes out of his way to make other people feel like they have someone there for them, because that’s something he didn’t have for a long time, to really no benefit of his own other than it makes him feel good to help people. and this is not me negating that buck can be very insecure, but i just don’t think his entire personality is some kind of manipulation tactic. because even at buck’s most secure and comfortable, that’s his instinct. it’s a fundamental part of his who he is, not just a front.

Saw a bucktommy say that they’ve actually thought for a while that Tim isn’t interested in developing Buck and Tommy’s relationship and in the long run it’s only bi buck they are interested in. They continued to say that last season Tim was brave by saying Buck was getting off the hamster wheel but since then has only kept Tommy as a background character with no development and they are 100% blaming Tim.

I had to laugh at that because at least they are waking up to what we’ve been saying this whole entire time. Tim saying Buck was getting off the hamster wheel meant NOTHING in terms of Tommy, like we’ve been saying Tommy is the stepping stone for Buck TO finally get off the hamster wheel, he’s suppose to be there to help Buck in order for Buck’s next partner to be the one he’s off the hamster wheel with. Also, Tim can’t ever be blamed for this because he literally warned everyone that Tommy was a ‘first fling’ and that he wouldn’t go making wedding plans for them…how much clearer did he actually need to be. It was only the other week in an interview Tim refused to comment on where Buck and Tommy’s relationship was heading, if Tommy was the endgame there’d be nothing to hide. He’d straight up say that he thinks Buck’s found ‘the one’ and that at the moment, he’s just going to develop on them and see where he can take them, but no he said he wasn’t going to answer it, because they’re gonna breakup and doesn’t wanna give that away! Blame Tim but he’s tried telling everyone AND Buddies have tried to warn everyone they aren’t lasting.
