Oh To Be Young And In Love.

I haven't seen this talked about much, but I just know Jinx probably wanted to crash tf out when the Firelights first came on the scene and started messing with Silco and the chem-barons. Like imagine cutting ties with your best friend—breaking his heart and your own in the process—in order to protect him from your rotten luck and Silco's wrath, and then instead of making a life somewhere safe, he starts a fucking resistance movement against your boss/father figure. Now you have to fight him on a regular basis and mean it because if you don't, he's never gonna give up on the memory of his childhood friend. And then, as the months and years and fights go by, you have to watch as he starts to hate you and pretend it doesn't hurt when your own feelings never changed.

I love him <3

This people can't be real

Peeta is always open to drawing or painting anything for Katniss and she's frequently taken him up on it. It's usually not that difficult for him, he loves the chance to paint, to refine his skills. Katniss loves having not only a reminder of certain memories but also a physical representation of Peeta's enduring and almost quiet love for her. And it's easy. Natural. That is until Katniss looks at Peeta one day and asks, "Would you do a self-portrait for me?"

That's hard for him. The sketches are never quite right, the colors are off. Katniss doesn't ever nitpick at his paintings, and she isn't being unkind or anything, but she always looks at the drafts with an uncertain expression only to say, "Somethings not right, Peeta."

Peeta gets frustrated. Why can't he just do this painting? He asks Katniss what is off about the sketches, and it's always a thousand little things. His eyes aren't that severe. He's supposed to have freckles there. His mouth is softer in real life. His hair doesn't curl like that. His expression is off. He can never seem to get it right. What is it about this painting?

They're lying on the couch one day when Katniss says, "Maybe you just can't see yourself the way I do."

That makes him curious. How does she see him? They start trying to figure that out. He says that she should describe his face to him as if he were a plant for the book, and maybe they could arrive somewhere accurate.

Katniss finds it a little funny, even odd, he's himself. He has to be more familiar with his own face than she is, but she humors him. They sit down in his studio together and begin.

It becomes an exercise in getting to know her, somehow, on a level that he hadn't explored before. She spends a long time talking about the shape of his eyes, the fan of his eyelashes, and the color of his irises. Her cheeks stain with embarrassment, and his heart knocks against his ribs, trying to escape, maybe even trying to reach out to her.

She has something to say about details he'd never even thought of before. The angle of his chin, the exact colour of his hair. She has descriptions that don't make much sense to him too. His smile is like spring and his scars are like marigolds. When given time, Katniss ends up arranging a whole bouquet of wildflowers with her descriptions.

He loves her. He already knew that. Heck, people on the other side of the country already knew that, but he'd had no idea, somehow, he still had no idea the depth of Katniss's devotion. It's beautiful and seemingly never-ending and it fills his own heart with joy.

They create the portrait together, after many hours spent alone. It's a painting of his own face, yet, it holds a deep intimacy and he can't seem to look at it without smiling and blushing like a fool. He doesn't think of it as his, even if it's a painting of himself, the painting is wholly Katniss's. He presents it to her when he's finished and Katniss smiles warmly, looking down at it with such affection. She hangs it in the hall, near the bench where she keeps her arrows so she can look at it when she leaves every morning and when she comes back home. That part of the house is very private, he doesn't even really go there that often, so it feels special. To know that Katniss wanted to bring him there with her, in her own way.

Jeff: "You know, that emo girl isn't really that bad"

Miles: "I know, right!? I mean i don't know if i could bring myself to forgive me if someone was the reason for my hair choice like she did with me! She is really amazing!"

Jeff: "...."

Jeff: "From now on i will stop calling her emo and start questioning my parent skills"

Why are the media full of brain-rot people!?

Like, why are there still people with full confidence go around, screaming "Ekko loves Powder, not Jinx" or "Ekko wants to change her back to Powder"

My brother in Christ, sybau!

If you watched the series with your eyes closed and ignore the creators on the matter, that's a you issue and not the ship!

Watch the series again, the mv, listen the lyrics of the song, which is talking about Ekko and JINX and leave me the fuck alone

KMS.

Pretty much how that's gonna go, right?
