08. [SPOILERS for Hunger Games /Mockingjay]

"Gale", anon. and it's weird how you made the same spelling mistake as the other anon.

....

really sis?

Haha! I was the other way around. I read it as no chemistry in the books but fell for peenis in the movies.

Do agree on the epilogue though. I'm both mediums it was really jarring. I get the meaning behind it, but I still dislike the tonal whiplash and telling me exactly how their future is. I maintain for both, finishing at the real/not real (and with time we got better paragraph) we're perfectly good endings rather than a sudden time jump and tonal shift.

Or at least put the epilogue after the credits so I can enjoy the bitter sweet aww they're getting better for more than a second!

Otherwise it's going from dwelling on screaming crying PTSD to happy baby way too fast for me.

...is it really called Peenis?

No idea! I don't even lurk on THG fandom fringes, I get all my fandom interest from IRL for this one!

well, that and "katpee"

...this is not a pairing that has attractive ship names

Hmm. I think I prefer Peenis.

Everlark is the pg-version of it, Peenis is used for the lulz. (Never seen katpee used, tbh.)

I've seen some people call it Everlark, which is much prettier.

That is a lovely name-smoosh! And I don't like name-smooshes unless they are hilarious or pretty. It is very unfortunate that I am not in the HG fandom, lol

I was the other way around. I read it as no chemistry in the books but fell for peenis in the movies.

Me too! I mean, I still liked it okay in the books but it wasn't until the movies that I got super into the pairing and started full blown shipping it

Same! In the books, there was just no romance at all for me. I didn't think Katniss could be happy with either romantic partner, and more than that, I don't think she would've made either partner happy, either. If anything, I thought Gale would have to be the choice because they could've been violent and miserable together.

I honestly feel that Jennifer Lawrence managed to breathe more life into Katniss, and into the romance as well. I still don't think there was much sexual attraction going on, but I liked how close her and Peeta were. I felt really good about the ending, which surprised me, with Peeta showing up at her home and such. It just suited Lawrence's Katniss so much better.

The feeling I got from thebooks was that Katniss wasn't interested in either of them at all, but made the intellectual decision that being with Peeta would be better for her (unfortunately it seems like she didn't really realise that not getting with either of them was also a viable options). I know Gale and Peeta sort of joke about that but it seems to be completely true. I didn't detect even the slightest hint of genuine romantic interest from her.

Haven't seen the latest movies though so I can't comment on those.

Yeah, I suppose that's true. It was an intellectual decision for her. Which maybe is fine, but I always felt like it was going to be a sad relationship, with Katniss not too into it and Peeta ultimately getting depressed around her.

I think the movies did have a little bit more romance - just a few sparse moments. Or maybe I should say, moments that felt a bit more emotionally intimate? I'm not sure they were necessarily sexual, but yeah, I felt there was more of some sort of relationship between the two.

How... do you write off the blatant & growing feelings she has for Peeta? I don't have books now so I can't quote, but.. they are literally there in the text, in her mind. Not in your face, but... still.

Oh yeah I like that ending, it's the epilogue (second ending?) my beef is. The rest of it fit? Like it wasn't super hardcore romance but more like two people who have been changed so much and understand each other and so fit together...not neatly, but better than they'd fit with someone who hasn't been forced through it all.

Almost an unhealthy codependency I think, but tbh considering the surroundings of their life - healthy at the time!

IDK, I saw it as two people who walked through hell together and got one another. Peeta is a softer person than Katniss, and he sort of helps her come back around to being okay, and even daring to feel secure enough to have children. They will both always be going through the PTSD, but I felt more like they found strength and healing in one another.

(no subject)

I'm just popping in to say that I, too, shipped her with Haymitch. I'm pleased to find a kindred soul.

Yeah, she really saw through his bullshit. I like that ship too. 'Old souls' and all that.

I shipped her and Johanna in the books but I never got much out of it in the movies. I was disappointed by not getting to see some of the interaction between them they cut out, even though I understand why they did it.

Well, I didn't buy either romance in the books, so...

Same, honestly :/ Except about the shipping in the movies, I couldn't watch the movies. I loved the books but knowing what was going to happen (ie. children killing each other) was too upsetting so I avoided the movies entirely.

LOL @ fucked-up-for-life Katniss Everdeen needing to be alone forever because fandom can only see relationships in black and white between OTP-worthy and Strong Independent Woman.

Did you have trouble understanding the secret?

The problem is not whether or not she's paired up. It's that the compatibility wasn't really there for either of her "canon" choices. And don't assume all fandom feels the same as OP.
