idk what traumatized or mentally ill person needs to hear this but dreams (especially the really disturbing ones you dont want to talk about to anybody) arent some deep peek into your psyche or a sign of your True Desires or whatever theyre quite literally your brain making fruit salad with whatever it can find on the shelf. just putting all that shit in a blender and hitting obliterate. its fine, youre fine, youre not a weirdo for it
Actually forget what I said. This dream is more important than anything
Thinking about how incredibly brave it was of Suzanne to make the main love interest a kind, sensitive, emotionally intelligent, disabled, stocky blond in 2008 when the trend at the time was skinny, tall, lanky, sarcastic, hates-everyone-but-main character, rageboy. And how absolutely genius it was to have BOTH of those types in the same series and have Katniss choose Peeta. Groundbreaking.
For all that we talk about Katniss being the epitome of a devoted and protective sister, we need to recognize that Prim is too.
Like when her name got called in the reaping, she was resigned to her fate, and when she heard Katniss volunteer she tried to stop her, begged her not to take her place. She was completely willing to be a tribute to stop Katniss from taking her place, even though logically they all knew that Katniss was the one capable of being a real contender in the games between the two of them.
Prim was just as willing to die for her sister as Katniss was from the very beginning, Katniss just had more opportunities to prove it. I can’t imagine the guilt she must’ve felt seeing everything that Katniss went through because she wanted to protect her.
