“people only *think* the economy is bad because of rising grocery costs!” okay but that’s called food insecurity, and I cannot overstate how big of a deal that is. food prices are, historically speaking, the number one thing that people have rioted about.
do you understand how big of a 'fuck you' finnick told the capitol when he quite literally brought peeta back from the dead in an arena whose sole purpose is to have every person fend for themselves and kill each other?
Thinking again about how Suzanne esentially subverted the "beloved famous man that is actually a horrible person in real life" with Finnick, who is the complete opposite of that.
Finnick has this whole image costructed around him by the people that abused him for years: the Capitol's darling, their golden boy, the sex symbol of Panem, the man that has countless lovers but leaves them constantly and doesn't look back etc. And you would expect, initially, to meet a man that retains at least a part of that persona in his day to day life. But Finnick doesn't, not even one bit.
You see instead a man that is deeply in love and completely devoted to the one woman he quite literally adores, a man that protects Mags, his old mentor and his mother figure, as much as he can, a man that wouldn't leave Johanna behind, a man that gathers whatever strenght he has left to speak publicly about the abuse inflicted upon him at the government's hands; the opposite of what the Capitol's media and reputation made him out to be.
I think the most radical thing the hunger games does is tell young people that the most revolutionary thing you can do is have unconditional love for humanity. Katniss throughout the entire series is guided by a deep sense of compassion for the people around her. It is what causes her to volunteer, to bury rue, to mercy kill cato, its why she tries to save peeta, why finnick telling her to remember who the real enemy is works, and even though her compassion for the larger world falters when peeta is kidnapped, it comes back when she visits hospitals and asks for mercy for other victors and ultimately, it is love and belief in a better humanity that makes her kill coin. Through it all, she maintains an unfaltering belief in the fundemental goodness of humanity, which is diametrically opposed to dr gaul's and snow's worldview. Peeta is even more unwaveringly compassionate
So the series tells young people that the most revolutionary thing you can be is compassionate. Let compassion drive your politics. Let yourself believe in the fundemental goodness of people. And i think that's deeply important in a world that touts the superiority of pure reason or logic, to allow yourself to be guided by something as emotional as compassion. Katniss everdeen tells us that your politics should be rooted in compassion in a world that thinks detatchment or cynicism is intelligence and i think thats v cool

tokyo trio again!
[id: It’s a drawing of the Tokyo trio as second years with Kugisaki resting her head in Fushiguro’s and Itadori resting his head on Nobara’s. Itadori is depicted as Blasian with dark brown skin and pink hair done in braids with a couple beads hanging off two. Kugisaki is drawn with brown skin and hee hair is back to dark brown. She has an eyebrow piercing and a lobe piercing. Fushiguro is also depicted with brown skin. His black hair is grown out into a mullet and he has a septum, a regular nose piercing, an eyebrow piercing (to match Kugisaki) and two lobe. He and Kugisaki both have a partially visible strip of pink hair. Itadori and Kugisaki are smiling while Fushiguro looks like he’s trying to trying to hold his smile back and failing. /end id]
