#i ought to write something

thinking about the effects of psychological torture in katniss and peeta’s dynamic because they were each other’s only true allies in not only one, but two of the games. they were constantlythere for each other through such horrible circumstances, and the fact that katniss was more than likely the image peeta held onto in the early stages of torture and how katniss is then twisted and turned into something of danger and fear-

it reminds me in 1984 how room 101 is “the thing you fear the most”. well, that might just be it for peeta: katniss being taken from him. and she is. the girl that he loves and trusts more than anything is turned into a mutt, turned into something not even human, someone that is no longer his. she no longer belongs to him, because she is not who she says she is. she’s a shadow. an illusion. not real.
