and may the odds be ever in your favor
So, I went to see The Hunger Games pre-premiere tonight. On the whole, it was amazing. The mutts were a little disappointing, and I wasn't overly fond of President Snow. Still a little iffy on Lenny Kravitz as Cinna, but he did do an incredible job with him. And I had an awesome time mocking the girls behind us who squealed every time Peeta came on screen - really, I understand you like him and all that, but really? Really?
And speaking of Peeta, I've finally come to my decision re: him. Do not ship Katniss/Peeta at all. Kind of. They're pretty and cute and the whole starcrossed lovers thing sells, but in the end for me, the only reason that she loves him is because they got thrown together by circumstance and then forced to go through with it. If it wasn't for the Games or the Capitol or basically the entire plot she would have gone back to Gale. And the way she only picked him because he was there in the end ruined almost the entire series for me. I wish she'd had some epiphany or that Gale had died or something, as horrible as it sounds. Peeta's just a default, this way.

a list of my THG ships:
- Katniss/Gale ALL THE WAY OKAY THAT'S IT THAT'S THE END OF THE ROAD FOR THIS
- but then
- Gale/Peeta in an H/C AU where Katniss loses the Games
- Katniss/Haymitch oH MY GOD THEY ALMOST KISSED IN THE MOVIE I SWEAR TO GOD IT ALMOST HAPPENED
- or Haymitch/Peeta in a very D/s relationship
- Katniss/Cinna
- if you watch the movie and don't end up shipping that you have serious problems
- Cinna/Seneca for no reason other than the fact that I think they would have the most amazing hate sex
- although I could build on that to create actual reasons
- and for that Cinna/Peeta
- or even Cinna/Gale
- basically the only person that Cinna is straight for in my head is Katniss
- I have to say though Katniss/Peeta has it's moments sometimes
- idk
