Madge: *thinking about the Mockingjay pin* I'm gonna give this to a girl, then MAYBE she'll like me and realize how fucking gay I am for her. also haha screw you Gale she didn't wear anything you gave her
Katniss *thinking about the Mockingjay pin*: Wow this was Madge’s aunt’s, what a precious and valuable family heirloom, it must have been special to her, I’ll treasure it forever.
Maysilee *thinking about the Mockingjay pin*: this bird is ugly and stupid I’m literally never going to wear this.
Surprised no one brings up how similar Gale and Jet are
Peeta was always endgame no matter how you slice it. Obviously there's the narrative choice, already gone into that, but from a character perspective too.
I mean there's the whole 'gale winds are loud, devastating, and quick to pass' and 'pita (bread) is considered the cornerstone that helped create humanity' thing, there's war vs peace, wrath vs mercy, self vs many, etc etc.
One of them brings destruction (gale is defined by what he kills, be it rabbits or sisters, and the systems he wants to bring down) and the other, creation (peeta is defined by the things he makes - speeches, bread, art).
One of them will end the world, the other will rebuild it from the ashes. Obviously Gale is needed - you can't make omelettes without breaking eggs after all- but he was never a sustainable, long term option.
WHICH THEN BRINGS ME BACK OH SO NICELY to how love IS a central theme of the series, because there HAS to be a 'so after'.
Has anyone else been seeing the parody hunger games musical cause they have been all over my Insta. It is so funny. Effie, Haymitch, and Gale are perfect no notes. The do you like jazz and Cho Chang bit is amazing.
10 Reasons Why Katniss Should Have Chosen Gale Over Peeta In the Hunger Games | Teen Vogue
FACTS
‘I don’t have a type??’
……
‘okay maybe I do..’
My Hunger Games Playlist
AKA songs I'd love to make animatics to but that requires SO MUCH time that instead I just daydream what it'd look like
I Bet On Losing Dogs by Mitski- Obviously I'm not the first to say this, but it's a very Haymitch song (at least to me) specifically about him being a mentor
Yeti by Paris Paloma- The tragedy of Katniss and Gale's friendship falling apart because it IS a tragedy that makes my heart hurt when I think about it too much. They were each other's safe place to be children and now that's gone forever.
From Eden by Hozier- Finnick's POV about himself and his relationship with Annie throughout the years. The song sounding so upbeat but the lyrics being so hopeless (but not about her) and self deprecating is very Finnick to me
Eat Your Young by Hozier- Honestly this one could just be an anthem for Panem, specifically through President Snow's POV
Pale White Horse by The Oh Hellos- This song sounds like its straight out of the books tbh. It'd be Katniss's journey throughout the books, specifically through her relationship with President Snow.
Curses by The Crane Wives- Katniss and Peeta growing back together but still trying to process the trauma of everything they've been through while living on the mass graves of everything they've ever known.
botany major!katniss, who isn’t so good with her words, so she gifts you flowers that correlate with what she’s feeling. you walk hand in hand through the woods as she points out different plants, rambling on about how to recognize various species and their distribution patterns.
fine arts major!peeta, working tirelessly at his family’s bakery, making personalized latte art which leaves him with huge tips at the end of the day. all of his peers recognize you as the inspiration for all of his assignments, your features taking up every bit of his sketchbook.
mechanical engineering major!gale, his schedule so full and busy but always making time to see you daily. you’re always the first to hear about how he did on a particular exam, cuddled up as you watch nature documentaries.
aquatic biology major!finnick, known around campus as the university heartthrob. he spends most of his free time at the docks or the beach, feet always bare and buried underwater, occasionally splashing you playfully. suntanning and writing your initials in the sand is how your dates usually go.
athletic training major!johanna, who caresses your sleeping features and plants a small kiss on your forehead before leaving for her morning run. she teasingly flexes her muscles while you’re applying kinesiology tape on her body.
Preach
Every time I try to get into the Hunger Games again, I see how the braindead fans treat Gale and remember why I despise this fandom <3
Sorry, but you have the bad take here. You made a public post on a public platform, and people are allowed to disagree with you on it. Plenty of people in this story have irrational moments of anger based on their traumatic situation. Its literally stated in the book by katniss that Gale knows that tesserae is just another tactic by the capitol to divide the districts. But in this moment he is scared because his odds are infinitely more likely. Hes behaving irrationally. Thats a thing human beings do, especially when under duress. Its a mistake on his part, but holding it against him knowing what he went through is just looking for a reason to hate. We dont know if he ever apologized to Madge offscreen, but he could have.
It's the smallest thing maybe but it's funny to me Sunrise on the Reaping has given me another reason to dislike Gale.
Thinking of Madge on reaping day, wearing her nice dress and Gale giving her shit for it. Like she has a choice. Like she has say. Like it's her fault who she was born to. It's such an interesting example of class vs culture wars. This idea that the people up the road who have a nice house are the enemy and not the faceless people thousands of miles away who profit on their poverty.
Thinking of Maysilee who was very conscious of the way she dressed. Who liked looking nice and dressing up. Who is Madge's aunt that she never met. Who Madge heard stories of growing up about her moms twin sister who always loved fashion and knew the importance of masking and the power of how you present to people. Don't let them treat us like animals.
And when Madge lifts her head and says "I want to look my best if I go to the Capitol" and Gale has the audacity to scoff at her.
It also speaks to how quickly history is lost. He probably doesn't even know her aunt died in the games. Doesn't care. You never ever ever know what hurt people are carrying. What their history is. What their familial struggle has been. Don't punch down. Don't punch sideways. Don't even punch up. Break the chain and destroy the person holding the reins.
People who hate gale and refuse to think critically ab his character really be pmo

Ah yes ! The Hunger Games, that book where Swamp-potato Farm-with-wild-pigs goes to fight kids from other parts of her country Bread with her love interest baker Type-of-bread Honeybird to protect her sister Flower !
And I’m not forgetting when she makes a stop to Bread’s capital, Capital, and gets mentored by Big-From-The-Enclosure River and Well-spoken Jewelry, and gets dressed by Cinnamon. Oh and in the arena! When Swamp-potato teams up with Street, gets hunted down by Superhero-Company, Sparkle, Wise and Tree !Well, Street gets killed by Company, and Sprout avenges her by saying Swamp-potato buy it was good ! And in the end, when she saves both her’s and Type-of-bread’s life by threatening to kill themselves, and gets home to her friends Wind Tree and Pearl Look-under !
Ah i loved that book.

If you ship Everthorne (romantically) then please get as far away from me as possible.
If you ship them platonically(friends/siblings/cousins or whatever)then you’re free to be near me.
Gale and Katniss are so sibling coded and maybe in another universe Gale didn’t create the bomb and he would tease Katniss for being head over heels for Peeta.
Gale and Katniss as cousins/friends you will always be in my heart.
Peeta and Katniss as anything as long as they’re together you will always be the very thing that makes my heart beat.
Peeta and Gale as friends,I hope that in another universe,you would tease each other over your crushes(Katniss and Delly).
Delly and Gale,you will always be famous for being the most non canon-canon ship.
Imagine Delly and Gales kids hanging out in the woods with Peeta and Katniss’s kids (and of course little Finn) like omg I’m combusting from the inside out😭😭💔💔
In another universe,hopefully.
This? or That?
I will always say this:
They’re so sibling coded,you cannot convince me otherwise.
Romantic?HELL NO NUH UH GET AWAY!!
Everlark for life.
Siblings?Yes.
Gale and Katniss as annoying siblings with Gale being all popular and Katniss is like:Wtf?
And the girls are drooling over him and Katniss is just done,but then when Peeta Fuckin Rizzlark walks by she is all purring and shit and Gale is like:Don’t say shit about me,girl.
i don’t know if this is a hot take but…….. i LOVE platonic everthorne
specifically platonic everthorne in AUs
if it cannon compliant. no thank you
canon divergent?? depends on how it’s done
AU?? GIVE ME ITTTT
romantic everthorne? no thank you sir
At the end of the day you pick the one who didn’t blow up your little sister
