Random Hunger Games thought

It's really sad to be a Gale/Katniss shipper. Like, I know that the pairing doesn't happen (thanks epilogue!) but I still want them to get together.

( more spoilery thoughts )

ME TOO to all of this.

It just makes me sad. I keep thinking about the movie. :(

On the plus side, maybe the third movie will be more interesting than the third book is?

If we actually get to see all the stuff that happens while Katniss is unconscious, then it can't help but be better, right?

(Also, in my head, she and Gale totally go off and have crazy survivalist adventures forever. LALALALA--I can't hear you, canon!)

That's my thought. Is that she'll have to be involved in those adventures because in movies, the main character is always in the adventures.

I agree with all of this!

It makes me sad! I want to have an alternate ending!

:( I started to. It began when Katniss made her demand to have Gale with her always. And it was epic and involved her becoming a freedom fighter.

And then I was like, "Why the hell am I investing this much time in fixing someone else's book? I will write my own book."

I don't know if I wanted Katniss with Gale - though I did like that I could buy either Gale or Peeta as a plausible partner for her (leaving Mockingjay completely out of it). What I wanted was either Katniss to end up choosing to be by herself or her and Cinna finding each other.

I know. You are the only reason I buy Cinaa and Katniss together. They would have strategically fashioned awesome adventures.

I just finished Mockingjay about ten minutes ago. I was *so mad* that Katniss and Gale didn't end up together, if only because--as much as I like Peeta as a character--I am morally opposed to rewarding any of that "puppydogs after a girl without speaking to her for years" shit. The plot point that was why Katniss could not end up with Gale was enough of a thing I did not see coming that I bought it, but... yeah, it would have been nice for more of the plot to be driven by Katniss actually doing stuff, even if the big deep point of that particular book was supposed to be that becoming the symbol of the revolution actually curtailed her ability to do stuff. She still didn't need to spend like 85% of the book in the hospital ( ... )

Yeah, Peeta suffered from being Nice Guy and also I'm not a huge fan of the message that girls should be ok marrying someone who actively wants to kill them. Thanks Edward Cullen! Thanks Peeta!

The thing about Mockingjay is that it could have been such a cool book! If Katniss had done anything! Other than be in the hospital!
