theo actually doesn’t like rock or grunge or any of that (overstimulating and sometimes cuts close to home) so when liam plays deftones in the truck and is like “isn’t it good?” theo just hears chino moreno moaning into the mic and is like “isn’t this cuz i told u i’m gay?” to which liam is of course like “no!” so theo continues “are you gay?” and instead of the also immediate no he expects liam just makes a strangled noise and is like “maybe!?!?’” #ok #yay
thinking about that one scene where liam calls theo's name and theo says he thought he was in a "bad dream."
thinking about the fact that every single time they get soft with each other, something happens, someone comes, something always interrupts them.
theo is dissociating and terrified and liams looking at him with concern and it feels like he's about to say something until the door creaks open and they're both pulled out of their little bubble.
and it sucks because what if they werent distracted?? what if they weren't interrupted, and liam actually had to reply- had to comfort theo somehow, because liam wouldn't mock theo about this- never about this- and what are you supposed to do when your enemy is experiencing traumatic flashbacks in front of you?
what do you do when the guy youre supposed to hate looks like he's about to cry, is being vulnerable and anchoring himself to your voice to get him out of his hallucination? what then?
what to do you say next? how do you say it?

because theo grew up as a failed dread doctor experiment treated like trash, soft words completely undo him.
liam realizes early on that if he wants theo to completely melt, all he has to do is drop his voice, hold theo’s face, and tell him, “you’re doing so good for me, theo” or “look at you, taking all of this so well”
theo will literally choke back a sob, hide his face in liam’s neck, and cling to him for dear life. it’s the only time theo’s walls completely crumble.
ohhh my god its that one panel during the first elevator scene, right after theo decides to be the bait. where liam just rests his head on the elevator door almost as if to hear theos heartbeat. and we can subtly hear the sounds outside alluding to the fact that liam can hear him. and he's pressed up against the door for seconds trying to hear if theo's okay. like he's trying to make sure theos still alive. like. jesus. and you hear a bang and the quiet resolve and shock in liam's face as he leans forward to collapse against the elevator. i hate them so much.
me and @genetic-hellhound are going to write a fanfiction based off this eventually hehe 🤭
Yes we areee
(*looks at Lionsgate*) A reminder that Peeta Mellark is a pivotal character to the OG HG trilogy. If it weren't for him, there wouldn't be a story to tell because Katniss would not even live to see her 16th birthday. Not to mention the countless of other times he helped keep Katniss alive (Katniss definitely would not be alive at the end of the trilogy without him). He is not some "weak, love sick sidekick", he freaking overcame hijacking to be there for Katniss and some still pretend he did not matter to the story.
