Ao3 is actually massively culturally important and very very good at being what it is. I’m so serious when I say that ao3 needs to be protected as the anti censorship, by fans for fans, nonprofit, volunteer run, expertly designed archival site that it is. You don’t have to read or like fanfiction to understand that on principle, ao3 is a site that should be defended.

#ao3 #archive of our own #fanfiction #fandom #anti censorship #this last tag filthy but truth #not to suck ao3 off but i’m sucking ao3 off bc i’ve lived through other fic sites and no one does it like they do #personal #free infromation #protect ao3 #take my money #free ao3

It would also help the capital citizens justify the continuation of the games. The games are growing and developing right alongside the capital. Newer more deadly arenas, more skilled tributes (careers), making sure to give the citizens a show with every aspect of the games. Getting off the trains and sending them to the stylist to make them fit a base standard that the capital has for its citizens and to erase anything they don’t want to see.

The only time these citizens interact with with people from the districts is for the games. They have no clue how bad the conditions are and they don’t want to. They want to keep living in the world that Snow has made for them because they are comfortable. They are full and kept entertained and that means they don’t want to overthrow Snow because under his rule is where they can maintain their lifestyle.

Reading TBoSaS was an eye opening experience for me because for a minute I was like Katniss and Peeta had it so much better than Lucy and these other children who were treated like literal animals- transporting them like livestock and putting them in cages not to mention the very public, dehumanizing parades. But then I was horrified at myself because I couldn’t believe myself. It wasn’t better at all, Katniss and Peeta were brought there for the same exact purpose and putting them in fancy dresses and providing them with expensive amenities doesn’t take it away. It’s still the same horrible, wretched, gruesome tradition, I just thought it was better because it was also wrapped up nicely with a pretty bow which I guess was the whole point.

I also like to think that Snow didn’t focus too much on Peeta because he was playing the game. The acting with Flickerman and getting people to like you. The pandering to the capital citizens. Getting an alliance with the careers. By all means Peeta was playing the game wonderfully. Snow didn’t read any deception from him because at this point nothing that Peeta had done went against Snows’ game. So then Snow was overlooking him and focusing on Katniss when his quell interview came up. Snow of course expected him to do something. All of the victors were trying to win sympathy with the citizens of the capital. But it wasn’t until Peeta’s interview that they actually did. By the end of the interviews the people are upset and the victors are united and holding hands. Snow took this as an act of rebellion, they were no longer nicely playing Snows’ game. One of the next was when Finnick used cpr to start Peeta’s heart. These are supposed to be death games that show how barbaric the districts are and to entertain the capital. They aren’t supposed to be friendly to this point. They were supposed to show the they viewed each other as a means to an end. Through doing this they are once again not playing his game. He is losing control which is something that he hates. He wants them dead. He wants them demoralized. He wants them so desperate they would do anything, kill anyone, to get out of the games. But what he didn’t understand is that he wasn’t for a second controlling Peeta. Peeta who is the heart and compassion of their tiny acts of rebellion. Peeta who offered money to the tributes families. Peeta who genuinely is a good person and wants what is best for those he loves. Snow was never controlling him until he had Peeta hijacked.

Snow not believing Katniss was in love with Peeta is actually part of his character

Thinking back, Katniss' actions after the first game were as convincing as they can be when you don't see her inner monologue. She was only saying she was acting because she wasn't able to process her own feelings and Haymitch pretty much told her, "You're acting, girl, keep acting if you don't wanna get killed." That again put a strain on her and further complicated her feelings.

But if you think about it, she was banging on the door of the operation room when Peeta was being treated, acting hysterical; she kissed him for 10 minutes straight on stage and she was kind of into it; she was so upset about Peeta losing his leg that she cried on stage and hid her face in his shirt to the point HE had to console her about it; she was pretty much sitting in his lap throughout the whole interview.

That looks like a girl madly in love to me. Like, when did she ever give anyone any hint that it was fake? It was all in her head.

Still, Snow was convinced no one would love another person so much they'd rather die with them. Because he didn't think like that and he can't comprehend why someone would think like that.

I'm also wondering why Snow didn't assume Peeta was lying, too. We as readers know Peeta actually lies more than Katniss does and is good at it. Snow probably thought he was just someone waiting to be saved or something. Everyone underestimates Peeta as per usual. That's a topic for another day.

Katniss who knows dam well she doesn’t need a man to survive: Not everything is about you Gale

Boggs: side eye 👀

gale: katniss will choose whoever she can’t survive without

peeta who was just peacefully sitting in the corner, trying to remember what the color orange looked like and didn’t even know there was a love triangle to begin with: ok??😐

This is exactly how I need to reframe my thinking of conversations

"oh sorry, i guess i was infodumping again" - sad, shy, apologetic

"you sly dog, you got me monologuing" - cool, strong, confident

I would either be Jason or Dick in this scenario

no in between

Damian: Well, I suppose it’s because I have an impressive body count.

Dick: *spits his drink out*

Jason: *drops his phone*

Tim: *head whipping around 180 degrees*

Dick: …Oh.

Dick: Well. If you ever wanna talk about it, I’m…I’m here?

Dick [covering his ears with his hands]: Actually, I take that back. I’m not. Don’t tell me. Don’t even say that ever again. You shouldn’t know what that means, you’re literally a BABY, WHY DO YOU–

Jason: *wheezing*

Tim [doesn’t know which meaning of the phrase is worse]: I…how many was it, Damian?

Damian: I’ve lost count?

Jason [throwing his head back]: HA!

Dick: *visibly upset*

Tim:

Tim: *sucks teeth*

Tim [turns back to his tablet]: Well, then.

Steph [walking in]: Gooood afternoon, mofos.

Steph: Why’s Dick crying?

Damian: I was trying to explain that I could handle the Las Vegas mission on my own by virtue of my substantial body count.

Steph:

Steph [starting into the five stages of grief]:

Steph: Your substantial what.

Jason: *dying for the second time*

Damian: What in the world are you all going on about?

Dick: *lowers his hands*

Tim: *is confused*

Jason: *still laughing into his elbow*

Steph: Uh-huh. I really need you to explain yourself right now, bucko.

Damian: Oh, you too, Brown?

Damian: For your information, I can actually hold my own–

Jason [wheezing]: PLEASE–

Damian: –in the video game tournament in Las Vegas that I will be infiltrating this weekend. Actually, I have beaten Gordon on Call of Duty at long last, so that means I am actually OVERqualified for the mission.

Jason: *still cackling*

Tim: Well, congrats. But for YOUR information, body count has another meaning other than a shooting game. So maybe next time you announce that–

Damian: I know what it means, Drake.

Damian: I have another body count other than my top score.

Dick:

Damian: Because I’ve killed many people.

Steph:

Tim:

Jason:

Dick [throws his head back]: Oh thank GOD–

Okay but if Tom is Veronica, then who is JD?

OMG all I can think about now is that the three Heathers are Abraxas Malfoy, Orion Black, and (either Lestrange, Avery, or Nott?, personally I think it would be Nott but an argument could be made for Lestrange)

The cave, after patrol.

Bruce, mad: This family has only 2 rules. Don't kill and don't die. You broke both

Damian, whispering to Jason: Is he talking to you or to me

Tim, also whispering, to them: to me. I got electrocuted during the patrol and my heart stopped for a while

Jason and Dami, nodding: good it's not about me

Dick, whispering hysterically: Are we going to ignore the fact that Tim killed someone?

Jason and Damian, not impressed: yes

Yeah the suit is made out of like a ploy carbon kevlar so it doesn't hurt too bad dick: you mean it's not spandex?!? jason: no? that's so unsafe, why would anyone do that?

dick: okay we'll just have to get into the main building and hack into the computer tim: oh i already did that dick: ??? when? we literally just entered the building like five minutes ago tim: oh the ai in the suit just hacked into the computer for us while we were trying to break in. i mean we didn't even have to enter the building but you really looked excited so... dick: what?! you know back in my day we actually had physically hack into computers, with like a keyboard

damian: *bleeding from a stab wound* dick: we have to get you back to the cave! damian: tt cease your worrying grayson! the suit has already began its first aid protocols dick: your suit does first aid?! dmaian: just the basics. did your suit not do that? dick: no???? bruce literally ran around with bandaids and gauze all the time
