Me: *reading a post that makes the joke “Peeta dropped the baby bomb, Gale drops bombs on babies”* haha good one

Also me: you’re missing the point! You’re missing the point! YOURE MISSING THE POINT! He grew up starving. His best friend almost died of hunger. Most of his people live in poverty. He watched children die in a bloodbath every year for the capital’s entertainment. The girl he loved went into the games. Was tortured by the capitol. His district was bombed out of existence. Nearly everyone he knew was killed. Their only crime was being fed up of being hungry and oppressed and sharing the same district as Katniss. All those innocent people. Murdered. He had to take refuge in a district that was bombed out of existence and forced to live underground. Of course he joined the war effort. Of course he designed unethical bombs and battle tactics. He wanted revenge. He wanted the capitol to have a taste of their own medicine. He wanted the rebellion to succeed. And tell me you could live through what he did, and that no part of you would be screaming for Justice and vengeance. Gale is you. You are Gale. He represents a part of feelings and actions that reside within us, even if you don’t act on it.

“But he killed prim!” Exactly! Gale loved prim. She was a second family to her. He looked after Katniss’ family. He saved them from the district 12 bombings. He loved her. He never would’ve put her in danger. He never would’ve put in order for a bombing if it would kill Prim. But coin would. And did. She took what was meant to be a tool of Gale’s righteous revenge for all the suffering he and his people suffered through, only for someone in power to take it and use it to kill someone he loved.

There’s some many lessons to take. We can’t control the things we create. War spares no one. Even justifiable rage and actions can end up rebounding and hurting those you love instead of your targets.

“He drops bombs on babies” is too simplistic of a takeaway and does a disservice to the story and Gale.

The Hunger Games is so realistic because it tells us the details that are relevant to the story, it tells us the details that Katniss is interested in and leaves out the rest.

We don't even know the names of Peeta's elder brothers

We don't know what happens to Rue's family after the war or ANY families other than Katniss, Peeta, Madge and Gale's

We don't know the backstory of so many tributes, and for the ones we do like Haymitch and FInnick, we don't know many details

We don't know what exactly happened to Johanna's family

or what happened to Effie during most of the second books until she comes out to be fine in the very end

We don't know what exactly went down between Peeta's father and Katniss's mother and father

WE DONT KNOW MANY DETAILS BUT WE KNOW WHAT'S RELEVANT AND WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO GET THE STORY GOING

Katniss: *goes feral without peeta*

Katniss: I don't want to exist anymore

Katniss: I give up. Stop speaking, responding, refuse food and water.

Katniss: if I do not see peeta physically in front if me in the next 24 hours i will cease to exist out of spite

Gale: so if I bring him back you'll choose me?

rewatching the hunger games in prep for the prequel and OH MY GOD I FORGOT HOW STUPID GALE IS

Bros first words in the movie are "the hunger games are all performative. you dont win by being good you win by being popular" and when he says bye to katniss he says "put on a show to win"

AND THEN HE GETS PISSED WHEN SHE DOES JUST THAT AND KISSES PEETA??

like GIRL SHUT UPPP YOU HYPOCRITE

forever a gale hater and team peeta

still wondering how people convinced themselves there was love triangle between katniss, peeta and gale because even if you did not read the books the lack of chemistry between them was SO clear and the way gale kept pushing her. some of yall really become blind as soon as someone fits conventional beauty standards

The Boy with the Bread

part 8

summary:

-------------------------------------

I was left standing. He was always going to pick her, and I was the fool who kept hoping that he would someday pick me.

I left his home, carefully walking outside, I glanced around and my eyes found Prim. She was putting the fallen snow into a bucket rather quickly.

Walking over to her, “What are you doing?” I county help but be curious over what was happening.

“Gale, “ she seemed to think of something before continuing. “The Peacegards whipped him, he’s in bad shape. The snow, I have to bring it to him.” Gale? He was injured?

I followed Prim into her home, and everything felt like chaos. Katniss was a mess, crying and screaming. Peeta was holding her back, Ms.Everdeen, was working on Gale, who seemed to be dead. Blood was everywhere.

I couldn't breathe. I made eye contact with Peeta who only casted me a glance before turning his attention back to Katniss, she was bleeding. I shouldn't be here, I ran out the door trying to breath the smell of blood filled my whole being, Gale’s lifeless body was playing like a loop thru my mind.

I don't know how I made it home, but I did and quickly made it into my room.

It was too much, again I had gotten my hopes up, and again I was hurt, it was a never ending cycle of pain. And now Gale is bleeding out in Katniss' home, everything was too much.

I lost it. I threw my dresser onto the floor, ripped my mirror off the wall and smashed it onto the floor. Someone was screaming and destroying my room. It was me. I had completely lost it, everything had become too much for me to handle.

I don't know how long I was there for but I do know that once I regained consciousness, my entire room was gone, everybit of furniture had been completely destroyed. And I laid at the center of it all. I was sobbing, so hard that I didn't even notice that my room door opened. My mom had returned to see the destruction I made. She didn't yell or try to scold me for the mess, instead she joined me on the floor and wrapped her arms around me.

“Shh, baby it's ok, I'm here.” she spoke so softly as she held on to me so tight. “Let it out baby, it's ok, I can take it.” And she did as I sobbed into her arms. She didn't once loosen her grip. She didn't once let go.

“Why am I so hard to love, why is loving me so hard?” Why am I so unwanted? Why do people struggle so hard to want me?

“I love you, I love you so much (Y/n).”My mom spoke as her grip around me tightened. “Let my love for you be enough (Y/n).” I wish it could be. But it wasn't, and I think that she knew that.

“I’m sorry.” It was all I could say.

“It’s ok, as long as I’m here you don't have to shoulder this pain. As long as I’m here you will always have someone who loves you more than life itself.” I let myself break down in her arms, knowing that she wouldn’t leave or let go.

I don't know how long we were there together, but the sun was already setting by the time I had managed to pull myself together.

“You ok?” I looked into her eyes and she looked so tired, she must have just come home from working and saw the mess I was in. I felt so guilty she deserved her rest, but here she was taking care of me instead.

“Yeah, thank you mom,” there was something I needed to do. “I need to see Gale. the Peaceguard.” She seemed to understand, as she let me go, and pulled me up to stand with her.

“Go.” She spoke with a tired smile.

It’s 2024 and people are still blaming Gale for Prims death…

What about Beetee, who actually made the bomb? I don’t hear any one blaming him. You shouldn’t, but he’s more responsible than Gale is. What about Plutarch, who was the one who actually dropped the second bomb that killed Prim, assuming everything Snow said was correct. And of course, what about Coin, who gave the order to send medics, drop the bombs, and made sure Prim (A 13 year old child) was sent to an active war zone. The decision of the attack also happened when Gale, Katniss, and the rest of Star Squad 451 had no communication with the rebels, right after Gale was captured by Peacekeepers. He was in no way, shape or form, able to order a bombing at the Capital, nor would he have any idea Coin was about to bomb a bunch of kids and their own medics.

The only two people who should be held accountable for the deaths of the Capital Plaza are Coin and Plutarch. I love Gale, he’s not perfect and has his flaws, but he is not a child murder and he did not kill Prim. That’s all.

The 'love triangle' in The Hunger Games was not the point of the book in choosing a boy. Katniss said it herself she could survive just fine without both of them.

THE HUNGER GAMES LOVE TRIANGLE WAS ABOUT WHICH SIDE SHE WOULD CHOOSE AFTER THE WAR. PEETA WAS THE PEACEFUL, HOPEFUL SIDE AND GALE WAS THE SIDE FULL OF FURY AND VENGEANCE.

THAT is why Katniss doesn't choose until the very end, because until the war is over she is confused what will happen and what string of emotions will take place in her.

She needed someone who was hopeful like Peeta, so she chose the side of compassion and peace over the side of fury.

It was never about a love triangle

Gale is brown, he’s an eldest child, he’s the hottest man in his district, he’s tall, he’s loyal, he hunts, he has unrequited? love, he’s a freedom fighter, he hates the guts of his oppressors, he gets mad bitches, he eats hot chip and gives the girl he loves his food when she’s hungry and when his little brother has to put extra slips in the death lottery he literally can’t speak about it, and he’s hella strategic and he makes bitches seeth and hiss and cry because they hate him so much.truly one of THEE characters ever.

Something 13 year old me just didn’t comprehend at such a young age was how complex Gale is. I literally bought into all the love triangle bullshit, even after hunger games preached of how the media will construe ANYTHING towards ‘love’ to distract from the gruesome and complex. 13 year old me fully bought into the ‘Gale is possessive. Gale is angry and not right for Katniss. Gale is too intense. Gale won’t shut up about their kiss.’ HE HAD EVER RIGHT TO BE ANGRY. Gale had everything, everything, taken from him. His family, his childhood, his freedom, his best friend. The only safe spot in his life. Not only does he have every right to be angry, he was in no way ‘unhealthily possessive.’ He was supportive. He reacted like a normal human being. He knew her bond with Peeta was different than theirs. Katniss even ADMITTED herselfff that she understood Gales point of view in book 2. For fucks sake HE STOPPED THEM MAKING OUT BECAUSE SHE WAS SILENTLY BREAKING DOWN AND HE KNEW IT DESPITE HER OWN DENIAL. Anyways. I love Everlark with my whole soul but I am a Gale defender. He wasn’t perfect, and I don’t agree with some of his other actions… but I will forever defend his and Katniss’s relationship arc.

I feel literally insane rn because I saw the most out of touch hunger games take ever. It was someone saying that people like Gale are the ones who are actual revolutionaries. She completely missed the point of the story.

REVOLUTIONS ARE BORN FROM KINDNESS.

The act that began the riots was Katniss holding Rue in her dying moments, covering her in flowers, singing to her. That was the moment that awoke something long thought to be dead within the downtrodden people. It made people realize the other tributes and districts are not competition. Even though some have it better, they are all under the thumb of the capital. Every move of the heroes can be traced back to love for others.

But Gale is fueled by revenge. He creates bombs and weapons out of a want to hurt others, not to end the war as humanely as possible. He doesn't take the time to empathize with others, not trying to empathize with Katniss and her mental health problems, not giving Peeta the benefit of the doubt when he was being tortured, and not seeing the citizens of the capital as human.

And you know who that sounds like, Snow. Causing pain unnecessarily, being fueled by hate.

Other characters like Beetee and Plutarch make similar decisions to his, but because they genuinely want the world to be better. They don't strive to cause the other side as much pain as possible, they want to end the war with as few civilian casualties as possible. They are revolutionaries.

If you don't understand that, then you are missing the point.
