Prompt #123 ❤️ CF universe or post-mj gbt phase if you can!! 😉

"fuck you!"

"when?"

She didn't know where to start. She only knew where she wanted it to end. After days and weeks and months of growing and healing and slowly coming back to life, the words to ask Peeta if he wanted it, wanted her again, always stuck in her throat. She wasn't good at asking for things. She wasn't sure if he remembered. They'd only been together once, that last evening before the Quell. The sex was bittersweet and a little uncomfortable, but she'd never felt closer to anyone. She fell asleep in his arms that night, glad they'd experienced it together.

Her certainty their first time had been lovely and memorable faded into uncertainty the longer Peeta went without mentioning it. Frustration simmered beneath the surface. Ready to boil over and burn. The summer wore on, the days long and the nights too humid to sleep more than an hour or two at a time, things came to a head.

She stood at the kitchen sink, furiously scrubbing dirty lunch plates. There wasn't even anything to be angry about. She'd asked Peeta to take care of them while she rested from her morning hunt. He nodded, and she took that as a yes. Instead, he left them to crust over on the counter while she bathed and took a nap.

She's so deep into her hissy fit that had nothing to do with dirty dishes, swearing at the forks and cups, she doesn't hear him enter the kitchen. "And one more thing," she mutters, "Fuck you, Peeta Mellark. I don't need this."

"Excuse me?"

She freezes. Glances over her shoulder. Speak of the devil himself.

Too irritated by the heat and her confusion and frustration, she shrugs. "I said fuck you, Peeta."

He stares, finally throwing his hands up. "When?"

"What?"

"You said fuck you, Katniss. And I asked you when."

Heat creeps up her neck. Her hands shake as she dries them on a dish towel. Where is he going with his? "Do you remember when we?"

He nods.

"You don't remember it happened?" she asks, frowning at him.

"How could I forget? The night before, we went back to the arena."

"So why with the whens?"

He leans against the counter. Shrugs. "I thought maybe it was an invitation. I just want to know when."

He's teasing, she knows that. He's always liked to poke at her, but she's known Peeta long enough to figure out he layers truth in with his jokes. He's waiting for her scowl. For her to stalk off in anger.

Instead, she marches over to him. She sees him tense and back into the refrigerator the closer she gets. That might be alarm in his wide eyes.

"When? That's exactly what I've been wondering," she tells him, unable to repeat the word that doesn't adequately describe what she wants to do with him. She wants him to hold her and love her. Not fuck her.

Peeta figures it out. He's a smart guy. His fair skin reddens. She watches his Adam's apple bob when he swallows, and she wants to press her lips there. Maybe suck on his skin, see if he moans. She can't remember if he did that last time.

"You mean you want---" he's still hesitant.

She doesn't want hesitation. Not when she's so close to being there again, so she nods. "I do. I want you."

He meets her halfway, lifting her easily. Their lips meet in a passionate kiss, and he carries her off to the bedroom they've been sharing for months. They don't leave the house for three days.

An Everlark sketch because I am absolutely ill about them just ill

“…I remember everyone in the country is watching me, so I just bury my face in Peeta’s shirt. It takes them a couple minutes to coax me back out because it’s better in the shirt, where no one can see me…”

shes an aroace coded lesbian coded girlboss. feminism done right in the year of our kermit 2023 (leaving the theaters cryinf). he’s just ken. (pollrunners note: do not fucking speak that frogs name. /silly - 👾)

katniss/peeta

She's got bow and arrows and he convinced so many people that his only personality trait was loving her. They've got more but i don't want to type a whole essay.

She's the MockingJay, the symbol and a leader of the revolution and he's her malewife who's being tortured and completely broken in order to cause her pain. -he's basically a Manic Pixie Dream Girl to her, and sees she's the world as a a more beautiful place with him and without him, it feels darker and lonelier than ever. -She does the hunting and gathering, he bakes and decorates cakes and paints -She's more resourceful and a quick planner/thinker while he's clever at spinning words in order to elicit desired reactions from others

They're the ultimate girlboss/malewife couple. Katniss is a badass archer and the girlboss symbol of rebellion, while Peeta is her malewife baker damsel in distress.

Incorrect Hunger Games Quotes: Katniss: Why are you so angry? Don’t you love to paint? Peeta: Yes - but I can’t get this color the right shade and it’s making me mad Katniss: You’re mad at colors. Peeta: When they won’t cooperate? Yes, I’m mad at them. Katniss: Anything I can do to help? Peeta: You think it’s funny when I get mad, mad, mad. Real or not real? Katniss: Real.

some things you just can't speak about

rated T, the hunger games, katniss everdeen/peeta mellark, katniss everdeen & katniss everdeen and peeta mellark's daughter

The glint in her eyes, a clear blue like the lake from another lifetime, when she laughs. When her brow knits together in concentration when she’s faced with a difficult homework equation. Her ability to make even the most cold and hardened people crack a smile.

It’s her daughter’s kindness, however, that Katniss finds the most reminiscent of her sister.

or: the grief ebbs and flows but never really leaves.

word count: 1.3k

additional tags: post-mockingjay, post-canon, grief/mourning, healing, mother-daughter relationship

it's literally 12:30 am as i post this and i'm kinda nervous bc it's been years since i wrote about these characters and i hope i did them justice.

what makes Snow such a formidable villain within THG universe is that nothing he does was set in stone. there was no sense of inevitability about his actions and his brutality. Snow had enough perspective of poverty, capital cruelty, district hunger and not to mention his own arena experience’ and yet he actively chose at every moment to stray from natural goodness. its even more terrifying in the sense that he had the ability to care. Snow is not a mindless sociopath, he displays feelings to others such as sejanus, lucy grey and tigris but ultimately he will always choose himself. his ability to betray those he cared about in order yo advance himself makes him so much more than the stereotypical villain who is forced into his actions.

I’m sure someone has talked about this before but one thing I absolutely love about tbosas is how Snow’s descent into villainy is never once presented as something that was inevitable

So many villain origin stories portray this idea of a person who tries incredibly hard to be a good person, who takes every opportunity to be kind and to better themselves, but are ultimately doomed to fail by the narrative. Their environment and their circumstances make it impossible for them to be a good person, and while this is effective from a storytelling point of view it’s not exactly accurate to real life

In real life there is always a point where a bad person makes the decision to do something bad, they make the decision to prioritise themselves, their own power, money or desires over someone else. That’s how real life dictators are made, they are presented with every opportunity to be good, and they purposefully choose to not take it

This makes Snow’s storyline so effective because he is given so many opportunities to do the right thing and yet, at every single turn, he chooses to serve himself instead, exactly like how real dictators are made

Snow, unlike most people we see in the capitol, is in a unique position where he could genuinely have the chance to understand and relate to the people from the districts. He, unlike his classmates, is poor and spends most nights going hungry, he witnessed firsthand the cruelty of the capitol when Clemensia was bitten by the snakes for nothing more than lying about doing her homework, when his sister was forced to sell herself on the streets in order to feed the both of them

Throughout his book, the three people he is closest to are Tigris (who dislikes the hunger games, is a rebel, and a victim of the capitol forced to turn to prostitution), Sejanus (who is originally from district 2, dislikes the capitol and knows he will never be accepted there, and also a rebel) and Lucy Gray (who is a victim of the hunger games, from district 12, and is also treated horribly by the capitol). These are all people who gave him an opportunity to realise the cruelty of the system he was in, a chance to directly confront his prejudices and see that people from the districts are just the same as him, and yet he still refuses to take the chance to change

He is given every opportunity, he’s sent away from the capitol to be a peacekeeper in the districts, he forms personal connections with people from the districts, he helps Sejanus perform funeral rites, and yet at every moral crossroads he comes to he makes the wrong decision. He didn’t have to become a villain, and yet he made the choice to do so anyway, despite every chance he was given

I think it’s a really effective portrayal of Snow as a character, and it’s a very effective villain origin story for the type of villain that Snow is. It never once excuses him from his actions because it highlights just how accountable he was for his actions

Any thoughts for 30. The box is empty?

In Panem a/u. Rated S for silliness.

"Say what you might, that goat has it good," Peeta says as he leans against the rail of the backyard fence, watching Lady placidly eat her hay.

"I guess," Katniss says. Why her boyfriend is putting that much thought into her sister's goat is beyond her. The only thought she puts into animals is whether they're worth trapping for a meal or trade. He says the most outlandish things sometimes.

"I wouldn't mind spending a day in her shoes," Peeta says, scratching Lady behind the ears.

Katniss snorts. "Don't you mean her hooves, you weirdo?"

"You know what I mean. But seriously! Listen, she gets to hang out in the sun. Prim brings her food or takes her out to graze. Her whole day is just no thoughts, box empty."

"What are you talking about?"

"No thoughts, box empty?"

Prim materializes seemingly out of thin air (she was actually standing at the back window, watching her sister and Peeta, waiting for a good time to interrupt them until two seconds ago), coming to Katniss's rescue. Well, her confusion's rescue anyway. "That's not how the expression goes. It's no thoughts, head empty. She's eating and being cute, and that's it. The breeze is blowing inside one ear and out the other."

"What?" Katniss asks. She still doesn't get it. Peeta scratches his head.

Prim sighs. The two of them are both in sort of a no-thoughts, head-empty space right now. But she can't blame them—young love and all that. If their heads are boxes, then those boxes are both empty.

[nunyabznsbabes]

Katniss is like Lucy Gray this, Katniss is like Sejanus that, and yes fine that's all good and true and lovely but Katniss Everdeen is also a direct parallel to Coriolanus Snow and people NEED to start talking about this because it's driving me crazy.

Think about it: they both grew up poor and deeply vulnerable, losing parents at a very young age, with a matriarchal adult (Katniss' mother and Coriolanus' Grandma'am) who fails to provide for them emotionally and physically. They intimately understand the threat of starvation, even developing with stunted growth because of it, and their narrations in the books share a fixation on food. Throughout their childhoods, both experienced constant fear and suffered a fundamental lack of control over their circumstances. Because of this, they're inherently suspicious of the people around them. They resent feeling indebted to others, especially those who have saved their lives. They're motivated almost entirely by family and deeply connected to their communities. Both are used and manipulated by the Capitol, both are forced to perform to survive and despise every inch of it, both are thrown into the Arena and made to kill. Both have a self-sacrificial, genuinely sweet sister figure acting as their conscience. Peeta and Lucy Gray - performers and love interests with a fundamental kindness and sense of hope about them - fulfill markedly similar roles in their narrative. Both contribute to the development of the future Hunger Games, Snow throughout tbosas and Katniss towards the end of Mockingjay.

It's easy to ignore these similarities because, as mirrors of each other, they are exact opposites. Katniss is from District 12, viewed and treated as less than human; Snow is the cream of the Capitol crop, given the privilege of a name with social weight, an ancestral home, and the opportunity of the Academy despite having no more money than a miner from 12. Katniss has no agency over her life, and responds by being kind whenever she's able, while Snow justifies horrendous evils in order to continue his quest for complete control. Katniss does everything she can to protect her family; Snow does everything he can to protect his family's image as an extension of his own ego. Katniss loves her District and connects with its inhabitants on a meaningful level, but Snow is indifferent at best to his peers - the apparent "superior people" - and only engages with his community for personal gain. Katniss emerges from the Arena horrified at herself and the system, but Snow takes his trauma and turns it into an excuse to perpetuate the violence with himself at the top. Katniss cares for Prim until her death and then snaps at the loss of her little sister, while Snow survives on Tigris' blood, sweat, and tears and then torments and abandons her, presumably because she calls him out on his insanity. Snow actively adds to and popularizes the Hunger Games because of his vendetta against the Districts following his childhood wartime trauma - Katniss briefly agrees to a new Hunger Games in the pursuit of vengeance, but later stops them from happening by killing Coin and choosing a life of peace and privacy. Snow is obsessed with revenge, but Katniss empathizes with the Capitolites and does what she can to keep them from suffering. He exists in a cruel system and selfishly upholds it; she exists in a cruel system and works to dismantle it for the good of her family and community, at great personal cost. And Peeta and Lucy Gray are incredibly similar, but Katniss and Peeta forge a relationship of genuine love and understanding that shines in comparison to Coriolanus' obsessive projection onto Lucy Gray.

So, yeah, Katniss is Lucy Gray haunting Coriolanus. But I bet you anything that eighty-something year old President Snow looks at her, the girl on fire, bright and young and brilliant, emerging from a childhood of starvation with a relentless hunger for success, a talented and charming performer helping her win the Games, and he sees the ghost of his own past. And that's why he's so afraid of her! Because if he sees himself in her, then he's up against his own cunning, his own talent for manipulation, his own charisma, his own genius. He's up against the version of himself that he once wished to be, with the nightmare army of his childhood at her back and her star-crossed lover at her side, spewing Sejanus' truths in his own voice. This isn't to say that Katniss ever achieved the level of power and agency that Coriolanus did during her time with the rebellion, but it is to say that Snow was taken down by what truly terrified him - his own morality, come to finish the job.

Excerpt:

The silence stretches out like a rubber band… becoming thinner and more taut with each passing second. No one says anything. No one knows what to say.  Yes. They came at a bad time, but there isn’t any possible good time. Not in a situation like this.  “Katniss?” Prim asks, her eyes finding mine. I take a deep breath. “Mom’s dead.” And just like that, the rubber band snaps.
