what she says: i'm fine
what she means: finnick odair is viewed widely as a superficial character who was only self-obsessed and okay with being a killer, but really he survived the hunger games as the youngest ever winner, went through that much trauma and survived at 14 years old, grew up to fall in love with an emotionally damaged girl who had gone through what he had, yet she had turned out more externally damaged, grew close with a sweet old woman, was willing to protect her with his life and literally physically carried her on his back in the games, despite the risk to himself, stood with the rebellion against the Capitol even though he was their darling, publicly defied and spilled secrets about the president, married that same damaged girl he loved even in the middle of a war and had a child who he never got to meet, helped a psychologically damaged and unrecognizable Peeta and defended him, protected his friends and team against the lizard mutts, and actually begged for Katniss to throw a bomb down where he was, because he knew that it would save her and the rest of the team, even though he would die.

Lol, so once upon a time I started writing a story on wattpad mostly for myself. It turned up to be pretty well-liked and had over 100 chapters and over 400k reads. It has 1.8k comments, and a nice chunk of those are correcting the grammar. I hate stories with bad grammar, but I don’t think mine is unreadable, I was just too lazy to edit before posting and also was way younger and dumber when  I started writing it. 

BUT WHO COMMENTS EVERY TIME THERE’S A WRONG COMMA? WHO HAS THE TIME?

I know it’s been a reallyyyy long time, but I finally updated my fanfic, and let’s just say you can finally find out if Finnick is alive or not. I should be posting the last few chapters soon. I can’t believe how much this story took off. I started it like 6 years ago because I was bored and I wanted to give Finnick a happy ending, and it turned into a whole freaking book.

I’m just going to pretend Finnick Odair lived through Mockingjay. That wasn’t fair and we shouldnt have to live through it.

Week 5: Back to Panem

Most impactful death.

A lot of people could fit into this category. Rue, Snow, the girl by the fire….each one’s life created an impact in these books.

Personally, I have to go with Finnick. As a character he had sacrificed so much of his life.. A Victor at 14, a slave to the Capitol, hiding himself behind a persona to protect those around him, including his love Annie.

He supported Katniss and also became a trusted ally and friend. He also was willing to support the Rebellion any way he could.

His life and dedication for Annie is also beautiful and poignant. In many ways, we see their relationship mirrored with Katniss’s and Peeta’s. We also get to see Katniss’s heart when she reflects on their love.

Finnick’s death is also one of the most heart-wrenching. It’s abrupt. It’s confusing and it hurts. It’s definitely a reread moment.

To Finnick Odair!

So that’s who Finnick loves, I think. Not his string of fancy lovers from the Capitol. But a poor, mad girl back home.”

finnick odair, who took care of an old woman in the arena, who learned how to take care of his mentally ill wife and taught peeta how to calm down using what he learned, who put himself in charge of helping peeta, who was used by the capitol for his body and refused to ever be a pawn again, who was nothing like anyone assumed, was a better character than anyone deserved tbh
