ITS FNAF DAY FOR ME!!!! I GOT A LITTLE BIT SPOILED BUT ILL STILL ENJOY IT SM !!!!!

so many people are lament that 'peeta will never be the same again' after his hijacking.

but i feel like that is only because katniss views peeta as this perfect, unchanged figure throughout the first two books.

the type of person who could never be changed by the games.

but readers, just like katniss, forget that peeta couldn't fit into his old roles after the games. because he had changed. just like katniss.

he was no longer a star on the wrestling team. he was no longer the baker's son who would greet everyone in the morning from the bakery's steps.

instead, he was a boy who limped into town to see his family once a week for dinner. a boy whose eyes adorn bags because he can't get a good night's sleep. a boy whose biggest fear is losing his lover. so much he is ready to die for her.

and so, the whole point of peeta's character in mockingjay is that he is not a new, 'mutt' version of himself. or even a post-mutt version. he simply is peeta, a teenager who has gone through hell and back. and forgive him if that changed him a little.

and yet, everyone is still convinced by katniss's "he's changed" instead of focusing on johanna *and suzanne's* point that "everyone has" (mj, 205).

Kinda nonhuman because mental illness, kinda nonhuman because not being properly socialized as a kid, kinda nonhuman because queer, kinda nonhuman because angry at humanity, kinda nonhuman because longing for the unconditional love of a pet and it’s master, and kinda nonhuman because secret sixth thing.

its not normal to only engage with media by white people, it is not funny or quirky to admit you dont read or watch things made by people of color, that is a failure, like that is a massive failure and im not talking about watching anime or cartoons i mean if you recognize and admit you dont engage with literature or poetry or historical accounts or discussions of bigotry when it isnt written by a white person you are actively apart of the problem, racism is not just yelling slurs or doing hate crimes, racism is the act of seeing brown people as lesser than white people in many different facets of life, if you notice that you never even attempt to read point of views that arent from white people that is a moral failure, you actively have to go out of your way to ONLY see, read, learn from and shape your understanding of the world with media by white people, you failed, on purpose, and that should embarrass you
