☕️during The Series I Felt Like Kevin Didn’t Have A Person, Who He Was Like Priority To. Someone

John Mulaney voice: I’m very gay and I’d like a few followers

Hi, my name’s Kit (she/they), I’m 21 years old from England and I’m getting close to 500 followers.

Feel free to follow if:

You don’t condone inc£st and/or unhealthy age gaps or people who ship those sorts of ships (e.g.: shipping the twinyards/shipping Wymack with any of the Foxes.)

You don’t condone shipping the characters with the villains/abusers (e.g.: shipping Kevin with R*** or Andrew with D****.)

You love Kevin Day.

IDK what else to put so here’s some reviews of me from the Discord I’m part of:

Why do y’all forget Nico di Angelos character is NOT about being gay. Like yes, it’s awesome he was one of the first LGBTQ representations Rick wrote about but....

You guys forget he is SUCH a powerful demigod. He’s a child of the big three. He’s not uwu gay smol sassy baby he’s LITERALLY the ambassador of Pluto and child of hades. He shadow travled the Athena Parthenos across the Atlantic. He TOOK the title ghost king away from KING MINOS. He was the one who gave Percy the idea of bathing in the river of Styx. He brought hazel to the land of the living, CHALLENGED KRONOS HIMSELF And FUCKING FOUGHT FOR HIS FATHERS PRIDE.

He does NOT hate everyone and obviously used to isolate himself due to his sisters death and his own internalized homophobia. No doubt he has some sort of ptsd from traveling in Tartarus alone and being locked in a Bronze JAR. HES SUCH A GOOD WELL WRITTEN CHARACTER AND YALL BE SLEEPING ON THATTTTTTTTT FUCK

I can go on and on about what Nico has done. He is one of the most badass demigods in the series and I’m kinda sick of him being reduced to SMOL GAY BABY UWU.

I want to put focus on how significant parents are in the Hunger Games franchise, most especially on the role a parent has in shaping their child’s psyche and I want to do this by using Katniss, Peeta and Snow as reference. 

In the books and the movies, parents are more or less background characters. We truly only see glimpses of them. Both of Peeta’s parents are alive yet we rarely see them featured prominently in the books/movies. Both of Snow’s parents are dead and we only get to hear of them in passing and while Mrs. Everdeen is alive, she’s often relegated to the background because of how dismissive Katniss is towards her mother. 

Yet these characters and the very essence of their beings are shaped by their parents. 

Beginning with Katniss, we saw how deeply her father’s death wounded her. He was their provider, the sole person responsible for bringing food onto their table. We know how deeply he was loved by his children and his wife and how beloved he was by the other citizens of 12 by Katniss’ stories. Mr. Everdeen was a well known figure in the Hobb and Katniss firmly believed that it was because of him that people took pity on her and allowed her to bargain with them. It was his death that served as a catalyst to Katniss’ journey to becoming a Victor. Without his death, without Katniss being forced to hunt to serve her family, she wouldn’t have made it out of the arena. To Katniss, her father was the hero deserving of being placed on a pedestal and it was his values and actions that she tried desperately to emulate to protect her family. 

On the other hand, Katniss scorned her mother. She hated Mrs. Everdeen’s inaction when she spiraled into a deep depression after her husband died. And though it wasn’t Mrs. Everdeen’s fault, I can’t blame Katniss for feeling this way about her mother. She and her sister were near the brink of death by starvation on the day she met Peeta. Even when Mr. Everdeen was alive, Katniss was partial to her father because he stoked the rebellion in Katniss’ heart while it was her mother who tried to stop it. Katniss perceived her mother’s depression as a weakness and even after she got better, Katniss was determined to keep her at arms length. The love she felt for her mother may have been unconditional but she constantly put her mother under the test. Waiting to see if she would disappoint her, fail her by abandoning her once again. And when Prim died and Mrs. Everdeen left for District 4, Katniss’s unconscious bias against her mother was once again reaffirmed. 

It’s why Katniss struggles to form a good bond with motherly characters like Effie but maintains relatively good relationships with fatherly figures like Haymitch and Cinna. Katniss openly admits that of the two people who guided them throughout the Hunger Games, it was Haymitch she was most alike. They grew up at the Seam, and shared similar features and she was adamant that should she have been forced into becoming a mentor like Haymitch was, she was looking at what her future would have looked like. Drunk and continuously intoxicated like Haymitch was. 

On the other hand, we have Peeta. 

Peeta was routinely abused by his mother. While we don’t know the full extent of what it was he had to endure, we know that it wasn’t a pleasant experience. Peeta’s mother took pride in the knowledge that District 12 would finally have another Victor, and she wasn’t referring to Peeta. We saw him take a beating to feed Katniss and whatever relationship Peeta had with his father was practically nonexistent. It was his mother that served to be the looming presence in his life the same way Katniss’ father haunted her. It’s why I believe Peeta got along so well with Effie and why Effie likely preferred Peeta over Katniss. Aside from the fact that Peeta was so much more civil to Effie than Katniss was to Effie, Peeta always deferred to Effie. He and Effie are similar in the same way Katniss and Haymitch are similar. 

Peeta was characterized to be of the merchant class, the “upper” class of District 12. As a given, Effie is from the Capitol, the upper crust of Panem. It was Effie who provided Katniss and Peeta with the script necessary to ensure their survival after the 74th Games and in return, Effie knew how effectively a person’s image and reputation could mean life and death in the arena and in this, Peeta is in agreement. While Katniss may have used a bow as a weapon, Peeta used his words. He always knew the right things to say and do to get people to side with him, so much so that he managed to convince the careers of the 74th Games, his biggest enemies in the arena, to ally with him. Had anyone else been in his situation, they would have been killed. Peeta craved Effie’s maternalism the same way Katniss craved Haymitch’s paternalism because these were the things they lacked growing up.

And then there’s Coriolanus, who lost both his parents and it is both of these parents who haunt him. His mother, described to be beautiful and kind, was represented by the powder compact he kept with him constantly. His father, harsh and cruel, represented by the handkerchief that Snow kept with him.

In TBOSAS, Snow has two mentors himself. 

Dean Highbottom and Dr. Gaul.

It’s not lost on me that in them, the characterization of the two are reversed from Snow’s parents. Highbottom, like Snow’s father is stern and harsh. He is Snow’s biggest critic and while I doubt Mr. Snow would go so far as to hate his own child, he would not have been kind to Coriolanus had he lived past the war. Yet Highbottom and Mr. Snow’s similarities end there. Because of Highbottom’s remorse and the kindness that he showed Lucy Gray after she won the Games, he takes after Snow’s mother in that regard. He is compassionate and filled with horror at the abomination he created.

On the other hand, Gaul treats Snow with a gentleness that Highbottom never had for him. Though Snow finds Gaul creepy, it is Gaul that takes him under his wing. It is Gaul who stitches up his wounds after he is attacked in the arena and retrieves Sejanus and Gaul who praises him for his ingenuity at suggesting the sponsoring system. Gaul genuinely likes Snow and begins grooming him to become her replacement in the event that she dies. But while Gaul may have been a woman with the capacity for gentleness, she is a terrible human being who threw children into the arena to fight for their survival. She is the same woman who hung a child for running away from the games and paraded the corpses of children on the streets of the Capitol. She is pure evil. She is exactly like Snow’s father. 

It isn’t loss on me that Snow, who has an abundance of maternal figures in his grandmother and Tigris, chooses to take after Gaul, who is externally like his mother but internally like his father, rather than Highbottom, who is the opposite. 

At every instance Snow had to do good, to choose to do the right thing and be like his mother, he intentionally continued to do the evil thing for the sake of his selfishness and be like his father. 

“You look just like your father, Coriolanus.” Were the words Tigris used to describe him at the end of the movie because that is precisely who he chose to become. 

And as Snow poisons Highbottom and becomes a gamemaker under Gaul’s tutelage, he kills whatever remnant of his mother he had left in him, fully embodying his cruel father’s ideals.

☕️and I think that the foxes winning the championship thing and literally going from zero to hero was a lot of Kevin’s doing. Of course it was team work but i mean they thanked Neil like a 100 times for bringing the team together which ist completely valid but Kevin did a lot on the training part , the raven drills etc but ok I could talk forever about Kevin not being appreciated enough ☕️

YES YES YES YES YES

Kevin did so much for them but all they want to focus on is Neil 😤

People who call Kevin weak or pathetic when he’s terrified to the point he has to get drunk as shit to even think about facing the man who abused him all his life can fucking meet me in the mcdonalds parking lot to get their ass beat.

14th November 2018

I need to fucking go off on one because this is a load of barnacles:

After Kevin tells Wymack he’s his father, no one asks Kevin if he’s OK.

No, “that must’ve been really hard for you, Kev, let us know if we can do anything,” no, “hey, that was really brave of you,” no, “I hope you and coach will work this out together.”

Nothing.

Dan talks to him, except she’s pissed off at him for hurting Wymack, which of course I understand, and yes, Wymack’s feelings are important, too, but Dan, babe, can you put yourself in Kevin’s place for a hot second?

It even says in the book that Matt had to talk her out of hitting Kevin where bruises would show, what the fuck? And after they talk, Dan goes and sits on Matt’s lap, AND KEVIN GOES AND SITS ON THE OUTSKIRTS ALONE. Like he’s being punished for being a complex human being.

He doesn’t even talk for 20 pages! He says nothing from the moment they decide to go to the cabin to the beginning of the next chapter!

Kevin needed someone that trip, and as per usual he was let down, because he’s evil trash, I guess, and doesn’t deserve to be understood or empathised with, apparently.

My boi was done fucking dirty in general, but I’m genuinely so angry about this.

So I just went through your Soul Eater AU (*is totally not hyperventilating because crazy Iwaoi is life and black blood Kenma and Kuroo is a thing I need to breathe*) and I love the idea of a slowly going insane Oikawa and a helpless Iwaizumi (who doesn't know how to help or what's happening because Assikawa is being stupid and not telling him everything) who is very worried. What if, slowly, the insanity starts affecting him even when he's not a weapon, like it goes into his thoughts and (1/4)

starts tempting him, especially when he’s irritated or frustrated, and it eventually starts showing through with his actions and needs (because Oikawa’s masking game is strong but insanity is also strong too). 

And then one day Iwaizumi finally figures it out but Oikawa denies it and then he snaps because of course Iwa-chan is gonna push at him all worried like and he ends up hurting him a little bit (or a lot) and of course Oikawa is horrified with himself so he runs away and Iwa tries to stop him but he can’t. 

So Oikawa runs and since he’s horrified and distressed, his insanity spikes up again. Which leads to mayhem and maybe Oikawa gets manipulated just a little bit because he’s so bloodthirsty at that point. 

As for Ushiwaka, I like the idea of him being a witch and a previous “rival” (more Oikawa is insecure because he still can’t beat Ushiwaka one on one) who otherwise seemed boring and innocent only for him to turn around and betray them because Oikawa started getting suspicious and when he found out he hunted Ushiwaka with Iwaizumi just by themselves. 

And then Ushiwaka hurts Iwaizumi and rubs it in Oikawa’s face that he’s weaker as he is (kinda matching with ‘you should have come to shiratorizawa’ and replacing it with ‘you should have been more mad’ maybe?) And thus sets off Oikawa’s insanity. (As you can tell I have a problem with this and I’m in love with the idea of insanity lmao. Sorry for this ridiculous long thing, what even happened? *shot*) 

(aaaAAAAA I’M SUPER DUPER SORRY FOR THE LATE REPLY I WANTED TO ANSWER THIS PROPERLY BECAUSE I’M SO??? Your ask made me so so excited dude I’m on fIRE dON’T BE SORRY FOR THIS MASTERPIECE LEMME GIVE YOU A HUG)
