Gale vs. Peeta and other Romance
>
Gale or Peeta
I'm biased. I prefer Gale. Hands down. XD
I'm w/ Uverzero. Biased w/ almost no reasoning besides I like Gale's personality better.
Mod
Hmmm... I'd forgotten that. (Peeta's dad wanting to marry Katniss's mom. ooh! if they had, Peeta and Katniss would be siblings! and then Katniss and Gale could be together! gah! sorry. that was way random. xD) Actually, Katniss met Gale only a few days after the bread incident if I remember correctly...
say who?! (Beside you.) xD they could! exist!
You find out in the second book...(btw I'm all for Peeta)
exactly Ronna. Cuz it would be too weird to marry your BROTHER! but I guess the baker is still married. darn it!

... *cries* I need book 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
noooooo! well, actually, I MIGHT be able to make it, cuz I'm going on vacation til right before it comes out. yays! I'm taking Hunger Games w/ me when I leave... and make my dad read it... and my mom.... xD
I just like Gale since the first chapter just something about him...... hehe
Mod
True, although shes experienced hard things with Peeta. Gale just understands although he wasn't with her. Idk if that makes sense. The month HG came out I bought it and told my friends about it and I said some of the characters' names. When I said Peeta's they started laughing and said "what is he a baker" Which I found was really funny XD
Hey, I just joined :)I can't help feel sorry for Peeta! He loves this girl, and she has agreed to "love" him to keep herself alive. I don't know who she will pick, but I will be hopeing mostly for Peeta!
Mod
I'd love it if she ends up with Peeta! Have you read the first chapter yet? It's available on the website and shows a little bit of interaction between Peeta and Katniss.
no! no! no! GALE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How could you
possibly
like Peeta better?
Mod
Mod
I agree she is a little better suited with Gale, but what will the capitol think of him being with Katniss??????
Mod
U FIND OUT IN THE SECOND BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HAHAHAHHAHAHHA!
No! Don't say anything! You're killing me!
Lol! I can't wait either!!!!!!You know, it might be hard for her to end up with Gale. 'cause she is going on the tour of the districts with Peeta, and i assume Gale will be in district 12. Or maybe I am making excuses for Peeta :)
Thnxs for welcoming me!!!
I know it'll be hard for Gale and Katniss to be together. But I really hate that whole cousin thing. i think they need to get rid of that asap.

GALE!! i really didn't like peeta at all
In the arena it almost fealt like Peeta was playing Katniss sometimes, but then Peeta was actually really in love with Katniss. I don't know if Gale would have let Katniss kill hime in the end (like she would!) like Peeta wanted her to. Just because of the way he was raised and everything. I mean in the Seam you feed your own family first. I'm not really pro Gale or Peeta. If I was Kat I'd go for Gale though. Peeta seems a little to ignorant at times and I think if I was Kat I'd get pretty fed up with him. Plus, I think once Peeta really gets to know Katniss, he won't like her as much. His crush has been pretty superfical. Oh, and a nother thing. I don't think Peeta's mother would let him live if he said he was going to go off with Katniss. Just a hunch.
so true and u bring up a lot of good points about how gale wouldn't let her kill him, or mabe he would because he loves her (oh come on people if if u haven't read catching fire you knnow it)
I realy wonder what would have happened if Gale had been put in the arena with Katniss, what kind of conflict would have gone on. I think Katniss would probably basically sacrifice herself and try to atack Cato or something and end up dying. Of coarse that would have been the end of the Hunger Games trilogy. After all Gale would take care of Prim and he has more sibs and stuff like that. I think the main conflict would be in Katniss trying to leave Prim alone in the Seam. Oh, so sad!
The first time I read the book I honestly thought Gale would be picked.
That would be completely horrible and tear jerking. Expecially with all these fantasy scenes running through my head! Scenes were Gale's dying, scenes where he's not, and scenes where he's telling Katniss crucial, wonderful, omg, heartbreaking.... It's aweful!
ok so i was on the fence after the first book. i really felt for gale, even though i knew peeta better, but now that i have read the second book i totally want peeta to be the one she ends up with....i cant help it he is just so great!
Well, after the first book, I really couldn't decide between the two of them. Now, I'm rooting for Peeta. He's so caring, sweet, funny, and loveable. :)
don't you guys think that it will be awkward if katniss ends up with Gale because, way back, Peeta's father loved Katniss's mother but she ended up marrying something else. If Katniss marries Gale, doesn't it like, history repeats itself? I dunno. Just a thought.and, I LOVE PEETA!!
Mod
Or even better, as Summer mentioned before, if Peeta's mom leaves/dies/disappears, then Katniss's mom and Peeta's dad can marry.
I wouldn't want that because then Katniss can't marry Peeta. Y_Y
Mod
She should or I'll...I'll marry him instead! >< I'm rooting for Peeta forever!
*spoiler alert*Well now that they are ingaged and she is "pregnate" you got your wish
They can still get married cuz they're not blood relatives and it wouldn't be wrong or anything. It's not as if they were raised to think of eachother as bro and sis. I have a family member who's had a similar situation (i think) idk. But it would be way better if that happened (a relationship between Peeta's dad and Kat's mom) if she went with Gale instead. Not every one has to have they're heart broken. ***Spoiler**
And after what happened in district 12, isn't it plausible that even if Peeta's dad survived his wife didn't???
Mod
I'd say it's very plausible. Would anyone think I'm a horrible person for hoping that? :P
No, I don't think so. I mean I would have been happier if like the mom just decided to leave him but if she died that's a little different. I mean it *is* Peeta's mom we're talking here.
Mod
But why would she leave him? I don't think it said how District 12 views divorce or remarriage when the other spouse is still alive.
Honestly, I don't think Katniss's mom will ever re-marry. She love Katniss's Dad too much. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think so.
I think she shouldn't remarry. Shouldn't. And I'm pretty sure Katniss will either not end up with any of them (as in Gale and Peeta) or she will end up with Gale. Not Peeta. I'm pretty sure. I have a really really good sixth sense. :D
I'm on Peeta's team by the way.
Mod
I feel that Katniss is more likely to end up with Gale, even though I really like Peeta better, and would be happier with a Peeta/Katniss ship.
Here's a post that I posted on the Hunger Games Trilogy forum. It's a list of the different ways that I could think of that Katniss's relationship to Peeta and Gale will change in the next book, and it has the final score at the end:
Peeta:
-Katiss may grow closer to Peeta after the Games because they both went through the same thing, and they'll understand what the other is going through. (+P)
-Katniss may grow farther from Peeta because they have different reactions to the Games. (-P)
-Katniss may grow farther from Peeta because he reminds her of the Games. (-P)
-Katniss may grow farther from Peeta because she realized that he was really in love with her, and that she was acting. She may feel guilty for hurting him, or not know how to react to having him really in love with her. (-P)
-Katniss may grow closer to Peeta because she realized that he loves her. She never considered him as a romantic possibility before, and this may cause her to start to consider him. (+P)
Gale:
-Katniss may grow farther from Gale because he didn't go through what she went through in the Games. (-G)
-Katniss may grow closer to Gale because he's a connection to life before the Games. (+G)
-Katniss may grow closer to Gale because being around him may help to blot out her thoughts of the Games, like in the novel Rebecca, if anyone's familiar with that. (+G)
-Katniss may grow closer to Gale because she may distance herself from Peeta when she realizes that he [Peeta:] loves her. (+G)
Both:
-Katniss may realize that both Gale and Peeta love her, and be overwhelmed by this, and distance herself from both Peeta and Gale. (-G, -P)
Gale: 1
Peeta: -2
The odds are in Gale's favor.
