The point that Katniss and Gale are just too similar is a point I can totally agree on. Their both rebels too fond of freedom and much too alike to be together. Katniss needs some that can balance her own personality, that person being Peeta!

In the first book, I actually found myself wishing Katniss would give lesbianism a try. Then Rue died, and it was all like “Noez! You stole my Romantic Two Girl Friendship from me, Suzanne Collins! No other girl in the books is at all desirable to ship with Katniss!”, so I gave up on it. I’ve actually begun to dislike both Peeta and Gale; can’t she take a third option? Peeta isn’t “good at playing games”: he’s manipulative, albeit in a slightly well-meaning way. And Gale’s kind of a dick now. They’d both be better just as friends, except even that wouldn’t work because Peeta is constantly all “I love you so much!” while Katniss is “I don’t want to be mean, but the feeling…is not exactly mutual.” To the point where he’s basically guilt-tripping her for not returning his love to such an insane degree as he does, i.e. blaming her for something that isn’t her fault. And Gale…Gale is all “Are you SURE you don’t like Peeta? Absolutely sure? Because, well, you talk to him occasionally and this makes me jealous and sometimes I daydream about killing him and OH GOD CAN’T YOU JUST NEVER SPEAK TO HIM AGAIN?!” Can’t Katniss Take A Third Option? Neither are entirely desirable.

i LOVE that you included bacon cupcakes, which, based upon the picture, are from tee & cakes in boulder, colorado. i’m from georgia and live there now, but i indulged in plenty of those for the 2 years i lived in boulder. also, i am peeta ALL the WAY. i get the gale argument, but he just doesn’t hold a candle in my book. utter devotion without being pushy? yes, please.

This is extremely late, but I had to put my two cents into this one.

I love the IDEA of this, but I think I’m still a little more sold on Gale at this point. Seriously though, if you were Kat being all kick ass and amazing all the time and dealing with so many issues and you came home to someone (Peeta) saying “Hey babe, have a cupcake” wouldn’t you just be so pissed off? I WOULD. I would be MAD that I spend all my time HELPING THE WORLD and at the end of the day I have to deal with someone who’s literally doing almost nothing. At least, in the picture you’re painting Peeta isn’t doing much. He’s straight up chilling “working on reconstruction” whatever that means. Peeta is great for cuddling, which they do all the time, but I don’t know if he’s great for holding Kat up when she’s about to lose it. Maybe in the life or death situations, but not in the lame struggles of every day life.

I like how Bea Arthur is eyeing that pizza.

ha ha, Beardy! But on the other hand, it makes for nice lasting friendships!!

I think I’ll have to agree with Erin on this one. Baked goods just make sense to people. It’s a comfort thing. And BTW, that Bea Arthur site is amazingly awesome and stupid at the same time.

Oh and I’ll also have to agree with never dating someone who is just like you. Too much Tetris involved
