Peeta's wit, jokes, and love for bread created many opportunities for hilarious meme content and text posts based on viewer reactions to scenes and their team Peeta spirit. After all, all that love needs somewhere to go.
A Worthy Reaction
As peetaspantry has so precisely put it, "nooo" is a more than acceptable reaction to Peeta's struggles. Peeta has been more than willing to sacrifice himself over and over again to ensure Katniss lives. He worked together with Haymitch and Effie and he had Caesar and Panem wrapped around his little finger. He was described by Katniss as being too good for the Hunger Games, better than the rest of them. When Peeta was taken by the Capitol after the Quarter Quell, viewers realized it would be the last time they saw Peeta as he was, as they knew him.
That's More Like It
Katniss and Gale found each other while individually trying to survive a shared tragedy. They were each others' crutch. Katniss relied on Gale to keep her family fed and safe. But Gale was anger, he was vengeance. He wanted the Capitol to pay for their treatment of the districts through further violence.

Katniss didn't need more anger to accompany her own, she needed kindness and understanding. Peeta was a bright rebirth. He was a "dandelion in the spring." He was a baker and a painter, a joker, and a kindred soul. Peeta handled himself with humanity. As the.hunger.games.memes shows with this meme, Peeta is one of the most likable characters.
Hijacked
The Capitol took Peeta's memories of Katniss and altered them. They made him unsure of what was real and what was not real. They made Katniss the enemy. The reunion viewers wished for Peeta and Katniss after the victors were rescued was as far out of their reach as Snow could attempt to make it. The Peeta who returned from the Capitol was a changed person, a pawn. This scarring event of mind alteration has been put into a light-hearted meme template by katniss3peeta.
This Traumatic Scene
When Peeta was saved from his cell in the Capitol, he came back entirely distraught. His peaceful and reasonable disposition gone. He had faced all manner of cruelty at the Capitol's hands; his mind and memories violated, forced to witness murder, and his body starved. He was hijacked to believe Katniss was the enemy.Peetaspantry has taken the scene inThe Hunger Games: Mockingjaywhen Peeta attacks Katniss and added how many viewers felt during that moment.
That Smile
The.hunger.games.memes has taken this much-loved meme template and used it to show love for Peeta Mellark. The smiling still of Peeta is from the first film of the series when Peeta and Katniss arrived in the Capitol for the 74th Hunger Games.

Peeta waved at the citizens of Panem, gaining their favor and immediately presenting as sponsorship material. He charmed his way through his tribute interview with Caesar and found a place in both Katniss and viewers' hearts.
The Baby
During the Quarter Quell tribute interviews, the victors did anything to ensure the games were canceled. This included crying and speaking of family, pulling at heartstrings with a love note, using reason to comment on the Capitol's ability to stop the Games, and cursing at the injustice of it all. Peeta decided to bring another life into the Games, the 25th tribute. As peetaspantry has shown, the audience gasped from the unexpected news, calling to cancel the Games. But not even a baby would make the Capitol end the Games, although it did harm Snow's reputation.
The Perks Of Cake Decorating
Peeta Mellark used his bakery skills to camouflage himself in the 74th Hunger Games. He proved himself in his strength and his artistic abilities. But he almost very nearly died, as shown in this meme by the.hunger.games.memes.

His leg injury was so severe that the Capitol had to amputate his leg after he and Katniss survived the Games. In The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Finnick says that no victor in the Quarter Quell arena won their Hunger Games by chance, save, perhaps, Peeta.
The Quarter Quell Reaping
Peeta and Katniss barely survived their first Hunger Games. They returned home, forever tethered to their time in the arena. But Snow saw the victors of District 12 as too powerful, too influential, meaning he saw all the district victors as threatening. He declared that the Quarter Quell tributes would be reaped from the existing pool of victors in each district. And so, the fight for survival continued. Simplypanem has taken the scenario and placed it in this fast react meme.
Bread Is In Their Blood
The.hunger.games.memesshows justone of the many memes that have been created surrounding Peeta's relationship with bread. This meme highlights the family business of the Mellark's within District 12. Peeta has two brothers, his mother, and father. Peeta is the youngest Mellark brother, the eldest brother being over 18 and unable to volunteer for him. Peeta's second oldest brother did not volunteer in his place, although he was able to do so. All of Peeta's family died in the attack on District 12.
Peeta's Surprise Reveal
The Hunger Gamesseries is full of surprises, most of which are upsetting, tragic, and brutal. But when Peeta Mellark revealed his affection for the girl in District 12 who he always loved and could never be with under the circ*mstances, it was a welcome development. This early reveal shaped Peeta and Katniss's entire tribute journey. They became the star-crossed lovers of District 12, doomed either to die together or live one without the other. The.hunger.games.memescaptured the moment perfectly in this entertaining meme.
