You open the door. I stand there, looking normal, on a lime scooter, immediately explaining how I’m the kid from the back to the future movies and this is my hoverboard. I say: Trick or Treat!

What kind of fall traditions do Katniss and Peeta do? What kind of things do you reckon they do with the kids?

And as for a request: If you want to, a moodboard for Katniss and her fall aesthetic? Or a line from a current WIP!

OMG love ur intro lol - for a moment there I thought u were giving me the treat 😅. This is such a fun question too!

So I think a tradition that Katniss and Peeta would start as a couple would be harvesting their garden together, making elaborate meals with some of their produce, and inviting Haymitch to dinner. On cold stormy nights, they might share some mulled wine by the fireplace snacking on apple-cinamon-flavoured treats made by Peeta. Peeta would also love using the changing leaves for his art -either as a muse or to make short-lived collages for his love. (and of course, peeta gifting these to katniss makes her very flustered which he finds adorable). So, in return, when Katniss is hunting she looks out for leaves that she finds especially pretty to bring back and show him. (which in turn, shocks and flatters peeta to know end). Katniss, as she gets older, and more comfortable in the community and her hunting skills again also makes it a personal goal to track and bring down something big so that the whole district can have some meat to share in the colder darker evenings.

As for things they do as a family, I think K&P would just include the toast-babies in the traditions they already have. Like Katniss will take the kids to the woods to harvest some apples and then Peeta will use those apples to bake a cake or pie with the kiddies. I think the children would also love to play in the piles of leaves (swearing that it's their process of finding pretty-looking ones) and I think Peeta would also find fun art projects to do with them like pressing the leaves. Pumpkin soup would also be a must-have for the family.

I've never attempted making a mood board so it's not really my forte, however, I will treat you with a sentence (really a few, because I can't help myself) from my WIP: The Unlikely Coming of Age of Katniss Everdeen. (subject to change)

~~ "Katniss, stop," Prim says, interrupting me mid-sentence, "Just stop for a moment and consider that maybe, just maybe, he likes you and wanted to talk to you? And that's it. It's not any deeper than that and it doesn't have to be."

Huh. To be fair, I hadn't actually considered that; mainly because it's a ludicrous idea, if a nice one. ~~

Happy Halloween and thanks for the ask, friend :)

Earlier today I saw someone call Katniss Everdeen an “It Girl” and it doesn’t really sit right with me especially when the other It Girls that were listed are Regina George and Cher Horowitz 😭

#i get it a little bit because I was young when thg movie came out and I wanted to be katniss so bad the way I wanted to be annabeth chase #but I wouldn’t put her in the same group as Cher and Regina 😭 #autumn rambles

[softchouli]

something something about the idea of Katniss and Peeta's first travel-sized toastie coming out of the oven with way too much hair that also defies gravity, just for their second one to be straight-up bald

#bald looking if you will because I bet that baby boy had some fine hair strands #they just happened to be super light to see properly #spring and autumn birthdays for the kids just feel so right to me #so for that first spring delicate hair clips with tiny flowers and sprouts hairstyles follow #but for the most part the baby just has her permanent bed hair #for the autumn mini hats made with soft wool by the soon to be mama of two it is #and they just range from all the colors Katniss has asked for their daughter and Peeta to chose #💛💛🤏 headcanons

EVERLARK OUTFITS: THE VICTORY TOUR

This part of “Catching Fire” is done (finally) so I put it all together;) DISTRICT 11, THE SQUARE

I go to my compartment and let the prep team do my hair and makeup. Cinna comes in with a pretty orange frock patterned with autumn leaves. I think how much Peeta will like the color. <…> As the train is pulling into the District 11 station, Cinna puts the finishing touches on my outfit, switching my orange hairband for one of metallic gold and securing the mockingjay pin I wore in the arena to my dress. <…> I can hear the anthem beginning outside in the square. Someone clips a microphone on me. Peeta takes my left hand. // Catching Fire, ch. 4

I think this dress should be a little semi-official so I choose cape sleeve sheath midi dress. It’s perfect for autumn (and they have early autumn weather there in 11th). The hair is just plain + gold hairband = girlish innocent look like the one after the games (this tactics they choose for the Tour). Plus I wanted to draw Katniss with her natural straight hair because i draw her with her braid usually ;) And again nothing about Peeta’s outfit. You know I feel like Portia 😅 because I have to choose how to dress Peeta. I’m not complaining through. So it is black suit with golden buttons (matching Katniss’s hairband and pin), thin soft orange sweater and black leather shoes.

DISTRICT 11, THE DINNER

A pale pink strapless dress brushes my shoes. My hair is pinned back from my face and falling down my back in a shower of ringlets. Cinna comes up behind me and arranges a shimmering silver wrap around my shoulders. He catches my eye in the mirror. “Like it?”  “It's beautiful. As always,” I say. “Let's see how it looks with a smile,” he says gently. // Catching Fire, ch.5

DISTRICT 7

Jackson has devised a game called «Real or Not Real» to help Peeta. He mentions something he thinks happened, and they tell him if it’s true or imagined, usually followed by a brief explanation. <...> But since Peeta’s greatest confusion centers around me—and not everything can be explained simply—our exchanges are painful and loaded, even though we touch on only the most superficial of details. The color of my dress in 7. My preference for cheese buns. The name of our math teacher when we were little. Reconstructing his memory of me is excruciating. Perhaps it isn’t even possible after what Snow did to him. But it does feel right to help him try. // Mockingjay, ch. 19

So we have only one sentence in “Mockingjay” about this outfit. And still I decided to draw it because I have a theory (head canon?) about it. I think Peeta remembers the color of her dress because it was special night for him (a lot of kisses and attempts to sneak away from everyone and maybe it felt very real at times) and also because she had two braids and the dress was red. RED is the color ❤️. / Peeta has dark red + black + a little bit gold which is also sexy color combination.

DISTRICT 5 I volunteer to take Annie back to my house in 12, where Cinna left a variety of evening clothes in a big storage closet downstairs. All of the wedding gowns he designed for me went back to the Capitol, but there are some dresses I wore on the Victory Tour.  <…> Annie wears a green silk dress I wore in 5, Finnick one of Peeta’s suits that they altered— the clothes are striking. <…>  As surely as the embroidery stitches in Annie’s gown were done by Cinna’s hand, the frosted flowers on the cake were done by Peeta’s.  // Mockingjay, ch. 16

Katniss: green silk dress + wavy sleeves + sea waves embroidery / Peeta: ivory dress shirt + knitted green waistcoat with sea waves embroidery + tweed suit

DISTRICT 2

Girl talk. That thing I've always been so bad at. Opinions on clothes, hair, makeup. So I lie. “Yeah, he's been helping me design my own clothing line. You should see what he can do with velvet.” Velvet. The only fabric. I could think of off the top of my head. “I have. On your tour. That strapless number you wore in District Two? The deep blue one with the diamonds? So gorgeous I wanted to reach through the screen and tear it right off your back,” says Johanna. // Catching Fire, Chapter 15

This description gave me strong “Anastasia” feels 😅. So I loosely based Katniss dress on Anastasia’s ballet evening gown. For Peeta I chose tuxedo jacket similar to Salvatore Ferragamo design for FF 12/13.  Neo classic, purple velvet, shiny shoes. Also I decided to include a cane, both to help Peeta to have some rest during all this Tour activities and as an accessory.

DISTRICT 12

When we reach the mayor's house, I only have time to give Madge a quick hug before Effie hustles me off to the third floor to get ready. After I'm prepped and dressed in a full-length silver gown, I've still got an hour to kill before the dinner, so I slip off to find her. <…> She [Madge] saw my reflection behind her and smiled. “Look at you. Like you came right off the streets of the Capitol.” // Catching Fire, ch.6

When I started drawing this one I just felt that I need to make it look very “Capitol”. So I added some feathers. A LOT of sparkling feathers, haha. Also there are some “moon and stars” accessories in Katniss’ hair because this silver gown gives me moonlight vibes. For Peeta I came up with classic suit but made him wear it casually.

"I Will Always Love you, Ser Brienne of Tarth..."

Brienne of Tarth x reader

Warnings: Violence

A/N: This is a mix of multiple asks that I received in January (lmao sorry about the wait). It includes:

@suckerforcate 's ask: "I'd love a brienne x Reader fic/ Prompt: Brienne: Are you flirting with me?/ Reader: you finally noticed?/ Just some cute fluff, love confession, oblivious Brienne etc😘❤"

Anon's ask of a skilled archer and knife thrower (slay katniss and clove) where they end up saving Brienne in some way

“You have to go down to the crypt, Y/N.”

Brienne’s voice was stern and her gaze was harsh as she looked down at the scowl on your face.

“No!” you replied. She was taken aback by your tone as you continued to secure armor to your body. “Winterfell is my home! If you think I am going to give it up without a fight, Brienne, you are sorely mistaken! I think you, out of anyone, should know how important loyalty is!”

Her face softened and her posture relaxed as she sighed. “You’re right…I apologize. I just…I don’t want you hurt. I don’t know what I’d do without you.”

“I know,” you murmur. You look up at her now and your hand goes to her cheek. After placing a kiss over the rouge bleeding into her fair skin, you smile softly at her. “But this is a war, darling. And, physically or not, everyone will get hurt. So why not help where I can?”

“I suppose you’re right,” she said.

In the soft light of your chamber, the two of you stood there. Neither of you said a word as you looked into each other’s eyes. The only sound in the room was the crackle of the fireplace before you opened your mouth to speak. You closed it, pausing before looking back up at her. 

You wanted to say it. You wanted to say it so badly.

“I will always love you, Ser Brienne of Tarth. And I will fight beside you all night if I have to, because you deserve someone like that. You deserve someone who will stick by your side no matter what.”

But you held your tongue. She didn’t need a distraction going into a battle and a love confession would certainly be one. 

You could see the look in her eyes change–but you had no idea what it changed to. As always, she was unreadable, but you were certain there was that shred of affection–perhaps even love. Or perhaps, it was wishful thinking–it was always wishful thinking.

__________

You stood side-by-side on the parapets of Winterfell with the other archers. Watching the Dothrakis, their scythes flaming as they rode fearlessly into battle, you felt a sense of hope. Perhaps there was a chance the living could win this. But it wasn’t until the war cries quieted and every last flame went out that the shrivel of hope that you had felt dried up and flaked away like a leaf in the autumn breeze. In the field, the only light that remained was the bonfires for the catapults. If you scanned the troops hard enough, you could just barely make out the speck that Brienne had become from a distance. 

__________

Everything was ablaze. Still on the parapets, you and your fellow archers aimed your bows down to the surrounding flames. The second wave of the living-dead had surrounded the fortress and now, the Wights were overpowering the living. You desperately hoped that Brienne didn’t fall prey to the White Walkers. The thought of her suffering so much made you sick to your stomach.

“Y/N!” One of the archers yards away called to you. “Behind you!”

In a flash, you aimed your bow and sent an arrow straight through a Wight’s eye before it could pounce on you. 

As soldiers came flooding into the courtyard, chased by Wights, you bounded down the stairs in an attempt to help. It was on those stairs that you scanned the crowd in desperate search for Brienne, and to your relief, you found her towards the front near the entrance, making sure that every man and woman returned safely. As much as you wanted to call for her, to make it known to her that you were still alive, but you wouldn’t dare risk distracting her and putting her in harm's way even more than she already was. So, instead, you rushed down the stairs. 

The bow having no use anymore, you retrieved the valyrian steel throwing knives strapped to your belt. Each one slit the throat of an attacking Wight as you hurried through the hoard of soldiers fighting for their lives. 

Brienne. Where’d Brienne go?

She seemed to have disappeared again. Wights and soldiers alike fell all around you and each one you came upon, you prayed that it wasn’t her. Through the pandemonium, you heard struggling grunts. Looking over, you saw exactly who you were looking for.

Brienne was on the ground with other soldiers, fighting off a swarm of Wights that were beginning to overpower them. You called her name and her head shot up. You sprinted across the courtyard, knives of valyrian steel in hand with the only goal being to save and protect Brienne. Before you knew what was happening, your blade was in the spine of a Wight attacking Brienne.

You reached your hand out and she took it graciously, smiling at you in thanks as she stood up. That night, until the Night King was dead, the two of you remained side-by-side, for if you lived and Brienne died, you would fall to pieces, impossible to glue back together.

__________

Candles lit the dining hall where you sat with Brienne, playing a drinking game with Pod, Tyrion, and Jaime. You couldn’t remember the last time you saw Brienne this happy. Her smile never dissipated as she laughed at Tyrion drinking to Brienne’s response to his question. All you could do was look at her with a dazed smile as you admired her, knowing that you will never love someone as much as you do Brienne.

In front of you, Jaime and Tyrion snickered to one another, noticing your infatuation with the woman beside you. When you came out of your daze, you noticed Brienne blushing madly before getting up and leaving the hall. You followed after her moments later, able to hear the laughter of the three men at the table behind you.

Hurrying through the hall, you made it to Brienne’s chambers. You knocked softly on the door and she answered not half a minute later. 

“Oh…erm…hi,” she mumbled.

“Hi,” you replied. “Can I come in?” 

Without hesitation, Brienne let you into her room. A fire roared in the hearth, her clothing from that day on a wooden chair in front of it. Brienne was a creature of habit–one of the many things that you adored about her.

“Are you alright?” you asked carefully. “You left in quite a hurry and I can’t bear to be without you.”

A soft smile appeared on her face, almost as if she was flustered of someone caring about her absence. “I’m alright,” she said. “I promise.”

Silence stood in the room, the pair of you standing almost six feet apart. It wasn’t until the heavy silence became unbearable that Brienne spoke up. “Have you been flirting with me?”

The question shocked you, but your face softened into a smile. “You finally noticed?”

Brienne smiled back, stepping closer this time. I reached for hand, taking it and pulling her forward to truly look at her. Emotion poured from her gaze and she swallowed hard. “You know I’m not good with this stuff…We’ve known each other for years and I’m just now realizing you’ve been flirting this entire time.”

You let out a giggle. “I think I have been since the day I met you.”

She laughed with you, squeezing your hand. “I just don’t know what to say.”

“You don’t have to say a thing,” you muttered, your free hand reaching up to touch her cheek. “I’ll say everything for you.” And, with a deep breath, you finally told her the words that you had desperately wanted to tell her from the beginning.

“I will always love you, Ser Brienne of Tarth…”

[katnissdoesnotfollowback]

hello! can I ask if you have any head canons for Peeta getting to do normal, typical teenage boy things once he returns to 12 after the war? things he didn’t really get to do while he was fearing and fighting for his life? Like annoying and irritating Haymitch, finding cool looking rocks and junk to excitedly bring home to show Katniss, and other similar dumb but adorably endearing things? Also maybe some HSc of Everlark just generally getting to be free and fun teenagers together post-war? 🥹❤️

Oh ho ho, Anon. You have come to the right place. *cracks knuckles* Currently raising two teenage boys, so I am ready for this ask like you would not believe. Some of these are pure fluff and some of them have a little more spice to them (which are NOT inspired by my boys lmao).

Corny jokes. Like all the damn time. His goal becomes to make Katniss roll her eyes or groan. He comes up with an elaborate point system. A "Joke Score" as a play on a training score. Getting a soft, inanimate object such as a napkin or a pillow thrown at him in combination with a verbal response earns him a perfect 12 for that joke. Examples! When they are going through everything in their Victor's Village house(s), deciding what goes and what stays, Katniss starts labeling everything with pinned/taped on notes. They say things like Donate or Give to Delly or BURN/TAKE AN AXE TO in the case of the giant desk that Snow once sat behind. And one day, Katniss goes to ask Peeta a question, and when he turns around, he's got one of the notes, in her handwriting, that says Keep taped to his forehead.

He gets perverse joy out of tickling Katniss until she can't breathe and/or is about to pee her pants.

He helps Haymitch give the geese absolutely ridiculous names

Katniss is the one who brings him pretty things from the woods. A blossom, a freshly fallen autumn leaf (look at the colors! this one's almost your favorite color), a neat looking rock. He keeps them on the kitchen table for a day or two before returning them to nature.

The cloud game, where they lay in the meadow and give names to the shapes of clouds, the more ridiculous the better, which Peeta usually wins (an alligator swallowing a garbage truck... no it is, look!)

"IT WAS A FISH I SWEAR!" in the lake... It was not a fish swimming up her shirt Peeta, you naughty boy. That was your hand.

Sitting upside down on the sofa to watch Plutarch's ridiculous new show that he won't shut up about so they watch it once. "Why are you sitting like that?" "Just getting the proper perspective."

Everything is a competition. Like... everything. Who can hold their breath longer (Katniss), who can toss their clothes across the room into the laundry hamper during sexy times and actually make it into the hamper (Peeta, which Katniss is MAD about btw and totally starts cheating by um... kissing or grabbing sensitive areas), who can kiss better (a tie but we need to try again to be sure), who can toast their bread faster in the fire (Katniss, but now it's burned, can I have yours, Peeta? *pouty face* only if you marry me, Katniss. Psssh we're literally already married, you goob), who can shovel snow off the walkway faster (Peeta but he does a sloppy job of it and Katniss makes him do his half of the walkway again and no it is totally not so she can check out his ass (narrator voice: it was totally so she could check out his ass)), who can eat the most *insert food item here* (Katniss, every time), who can make the most ridiculous silly faces (tie again unless there's alcohol involved and then it's Katniss), who can wash the dishes faster (...undecided, Katniss thinks Peeta is cheating by putting extra dishes in the sink or moving ones she's already washed back into the dirty pile. Once, when she accused him of cheating, he grabbed a dirty plate and licked it like he did in the cave scene. "All clean! See! I helped!")

Pillow fights, food fights, water fights, snowball fights, paint slinging fights... pretty much ALL instigated by Peeta, many of them because...

Whenever Peeta tries to teach Katniss how to bake something new and she gets frustrated, his go to method of getting her out of her head and to relax is to smear frosting/batter/dough/flour/whatever is closest on her face.

Singing very loud and off key in the shower to get Katniss out of bed when it's not really a bad day, but not a great day either.

Dunking food in milk. Like all of it, to try it out. Dropping candy into different beverages to see how it changes the flavor. "I'm experimenting for the bakery, Katniss!"

Dramatically flopping on the bed when he's had a long day and whining that he's not moving until Katniss *insert whatever kind of affection and or bribe he wants to glean out of her such as kisses, cuddles, foot rub (ew Peeta, I've smelled your dirty socks and that's not happening -- what if I wash my foot first? or here *presents her with his prosthetic foot* rub this one! but you might have to put some oomph in it before I can feel it)*.

So many one leg/amputee jokes

Pretending to be asleep when he's definitely not and Katniss is clearly horny... just to see how far she'll go.

Both anti-depressants and depression call kill sex drive, but when they're in the mood... they're not seen for at least a day and a half so Peeta has to work up a discreet signal to let Haymitch know not to come a knockin' because the first time it he didn't know, Katniss screamed bloody murder and Haymitch dropped a bottle of "perfectly good wine what is wrong with you two? Is that the chair I sit in for dinner?!?!?" It was not, but Katniss was mortified. And other smutty shenanigans happen on occasion, despite how carefully both Katniss and Peeta guard their privacy and intimacy.

"Hey Katniss, remember when I called you 'pure?' ... I take it back." *pillow to the face*

"Hey, Katniss, watch this..." *does something ridiculous like getting a ball of dough to stick to the ceiling.*

"Hey Katniss, remember when you broke your butt and I had to carry you around?" "I bruised my tailbone, Peeta.. And you had to carry me because I twisted my ankle too." *said with great exasperation right before he hoists her off the ground and carries her somewhere because he can. The shorter and more ridiculous the distance, the better. "We have to move the laundry!" *carries her to the fancy new machines Effie sent them as a toasting gift.* She tries not to laugh or snuggle in close. She fails.

Tucking silly notes everywhere. In her game bag, under her pillow, on her plate at the table, on the window sill where she likes to sit and read/watch the rain, in her shirt when he's feeling extra naughty.

*with the most serious expression ever* "Real or not real, Katniss... this cheese is the stinkiest cheese that ever cheesed?" *shoves some seriously stinky cheese under her nose before she can react* "UGH! GROSS, PEETA!"

Over the top dramatics when he asks her to dance. Only every now and then, though because Katniss also loves to slow dance with him and act stupidly romantic with him, but you didn't hear that from me.

Ice cream for dinner

Blanket forts

Raspberries. You know, when you put your mouth on someone's bare skin and blow out air really hard and it makes a sound like someone is farting? Yeah, those.

"You sleep with the windows open! Of course I'm going to hog the blankets!" Katniss shouts. Peeta solves this by laying on top of her and saying "I'm a blanket!" until she's laughing and agrees to share the actual blankets.

Smearing literal cinnamon and dill all over his body after she confesses that she liked that smell on him.

Attempting to build a catapult to launch cheese buns from the kitchen to where Katniss is sitting on the couch when she's pregnant. Okay, let's be real. It happens BEFORE she gets pregnant with toastbaby the first, but he perfects it during that first pregnancy.

Peeta can't shoot an arrow, but they start making a list of everything he's hit that he WASN'T aiming for... the ground, that patch of violets, the tree next to the tree you were aiming for, the stream, that giant rock, that thankfully unoccupied bird's nest ("thankfully? I would've called it a good shot if you'd hit something we could eat," Katniss says).

"I'm a fluffy bunny." If you don't know what that means, I cannot help you.

"Real or not real, you are the most beautiful woman in the entire world." "No more cough syrup, Peeta--" *LOUD BUZZER NOISE* "WRONG! The correct answer is REAL, Katniss."

“Who ate the last *insert food item here*?!?!” Peeta from the other room around a full mouth “Not me!”

And if you think any of this stops when they have kids, oh boy are you wrong. The kids just get to get in on the fun (of the not spicy variety, of course.)

Writing Patterns

Tagged by @batrachised for this writing tag game. 🩷

Rules: list the first last line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there's a pattern!

*These are not yet complete

My Pearl, My Girl: "Real," I say, teasing him back. "I think that one is definitely real."

these final hours*: Coin better hope Peeta’s alive. Because if he isn’t, she won’t be for much longer, either.

a lover's desire is mutiny*: “I'm here, Peeta,” she said. “And I'm taking you home.”

Katniss Gets Kisses*: He turns his head and kisses me back and I know then that I’ve won.

Werewolf: We are lovers, after all--it's the least I can do.

(Not a) Couples Costume: She smiled. “I know.”

Apple Trees and Autumn Breeze: And its taste will bring with it the memory of this golden afternoon, forever ours to remember.

Beauty for Ashes: Instead, I lean forward and kiss him on the cheek so he knows this isn't a dream.

Face Paint: And even though we have the memory preserved, I can’t stand to wash it off that night, carefully laying on my back before falling asleep so I can see it again in the morning.

Roses and Pearls*: She pops herself up on tiptoe to give me a kiss, brief and sweet and delighted and she tells me, “Yes.”

What have I learned? I apparently end with a lot of kisses and general romance, lol, as well as quite a bit of dialogue.

🎃👻Trick or treat! 👻🎃 A moodboard (or a description) if you like for Katniss and Peeta's favorite cozy outfits for the autumn!

okay this was soooo fun to look for. Heres some pics i found in Pinterest.

I think Peeta would dress like an 80s sitcom character in the fall. Think Uncle Jesse in Full House. Then of course we have Katniss with her practical but cozy fits including her dad's jacket. Though I do think she'd steal Peeta's big sweaters.

I saw mocking jay part II in theaters when I was 12 and it was the movie that made me read the books because I was so shocked by prim’s death and I was mad my mom didn’t warn me about it before I saw it on the big screen 😭

#it’s a moment that really sticks out in my brain because I was never upset over a character death that much before #I felt bad for rue but prim was the who reason katniss did all of that and then she just gets blown up????? #I really did not get it at the time #also reading the hunger games at 12/13 and then rereading them at 16 during Covid was a trip #I didn’t realize how similar it was to our world and that made it scary #autumn rambles #anyway I’m excited to see tbosas but I’m not sure when I’m going yet

[wistfulweaverwoman]

I love deep diving into the symbolism in The Hunger Games, there's so many layers in the writing, so much thought placed in seemingly unimportant narrative that it boggles the mind if you go searching for meaning. Classic literature is rich with symbolism, especially Christian symbolism. Suzanne Collins is a master at writing and crafted these books to bursting.

So, Peeta Mellark.

His first name, Peeta, a Greek flatbread (pita), but also a nod at Saint Peter. The feast of Saint Peter is also called Lammas Day or Loaf Mass Day, a harvest festival. It’s customary to bring to a Christian church a loaf made from the new crop, which began to be harvested at Lammastide, which falls on August 1, at the halfway point between the summer solstice and the autumn September equinox.

Mellark, a combination of the word malarkey and meadowlark. The meadowlark is a yellow breasted song bird that makes its nests on the ground rather than trees, in small hallows, covering it with grasses or animal hairs. Basically tiny bird caves.

Malarkey: most commonly defined as speech or writing designed to obscure, mislead, or impress; bunkum, BUT also thought to be derived from Greek μαλακός (malakós, “soft; compliant, meek; gentle, mellow, mild, mild-mannered”

Not long ago I came across the Bible quote while researching more deeply into the symbolism of pearls.

“Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.”

After a fair amount of analyzing I've come to believe it's actually one of the most important themes in the series. The gist of it means don’t give away what is precious to those that can’t appreciate its worth.

Symbolically Peeta offers himself to Katniss, repeatedly, throughout the series. The words

“neither cast ye pearls before swine lest they trample them under their feet,”

are what first caught my attention, both symbolic and literal, reminding me of the scene when Peeta burns the bread. His mother beats him and then instructs him to feed the bread to the pigs. Instead he passes the loaves along to Katniss.

Katniss describes the bread Peeta gives her

“It was good hearty bread, filled with raisins and nuts.”

But a pearl isn’t bread, is it? Pearls symbolize a lot of different things, but specifically in the Bible it can symbolize anything Christ-like, from Christ himself, to the gospel of the church. Christ said

“I am the living bread that came down from heaven”

Thus a pearl could symbolize bread, in the right context. When I went to research this train of thought further I was shocked to find a whole bunch of recipes instead of a whole bunch of quotes. Christ’s Bread, or Christopsomo. A Greek Orthodox bread made at Christmas. A rich bread filled with raisins and nuts.

I always thought it curious that the author would choose a name with a Greek origin when so many in D12 have the last names that seem British in origin (Everdeen, Hawthorn, Cartwright, Abernathy), and that there must be more to the name. Therefore I believe it’s no coincidence then, that this Greek bread is so similar to the bread that Peeta gifts to Katniss. It’s further evidence that the author purposefully meant to represent Peeta as Christ-like. Peeta offering his body as sacrifice to save Katniss is a theme that repeats over and over in the series. The strongest example of this, in terms of Christ-like symbolism, was his sacrifice of facing Cato in front of the tracker jacker tree to allow Katniss to escape and hide. That tree is a nod to the Hanging Tree, specifically the line:

Where the dead man called out for his love to flee.

“What are you still doing here?” he hisses at me. I stare uncomprehendingly as a trickle of water drips off a sting under his ear. His whole body starts sparkling as if he’s been dipped in dew. “Are you mad?” He’s prodding me with the shaft of the spear now. “Get up! Get up!” I rise, but he’s still pushing at me. What? What is going on? He shoves me away from him hard. “Run!” he screams. “Run!”

The Hanging tree itself is symbolic of both the Tree of Life, and the cross that Christ was crucified on. With TBOSAS we know the origin of the song, but the actual song written by Suzanne Collins was most likely inspired by the song The Hanging Tree (written for the movie of the same name back in 1959) and the song Strange Fruit made popular by Billy Holiday and became a popular civil rights ballad. I am planning a separate post about the song and how Peeta is symbolically the lover in the song.

This death and resurrection of Christ imagery continues with Katniss later bandaging Peeta and bringing him to a cave where he nearly died, and then left the cave healed three days later. There's so much more, but I'll leave that for another post.

But what about the other part of that quote?

“Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, [lest they] turn again and rend you.”

This applies to Katniss, rather than Peeta. Peeta is what's holy, symbolically, as reinforced by the pearl that he gives her in Catching Fire, and that represents him symbolically in Mockingjay. He was literally rended by dogs at the cornucopia in The hunger Games, but she doesn't cast him aside till the end of the book.

“Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.”

There is metaphorical meaning in the entire quote as well as this theme continues in both Catching Fire and Mockingjay. Peeta offers himself to Katniss and she "casts" him aside. She realizes this towards the end of Mockingjay.

Seeing it in his hands, it’s like Finnick’s echoing what Haymitch just said, that I’ve cast off Peeta.

She finally realizes his true value, even after he's been hijacked, and refuses to allow him to be killed, and instead of casting him away she does her best to keep him.

It’s a long shot, it’s suicide maybe, but I do the only thing I can think of. I lean in and kiss Peeta full on the mouth. His whole body starts shuddering, but I keep my lips pressed to his until I have to come up for air. My hands slide up his wrists to clasp his. “Don’t let him take you from me.” Peeta’s panting hard as he fights the nightmares raging in his head. “No. I don’t want to . . .” I clench his hands to the point of pain. “Stay with me.” His pupils contract to pinpoints, dilate again rapidly, and then return to something resembling normalcy. “Always,” he murmurs.

This is not to say that she never values him or cares for him before the end of Mockingjay, there is plenty of evidence to suggest she fully loved him by the end of The Hunger Games, only that she did not learn the lesson to "cast not what is holy" till then.

I wrap my arms around his neck, feel his arms hesitate before they embrace me. Not as steady as they once were, but still warm and strong. A thousand moments surge through me. All the times these arms were my only refuge from the world. Perhaps not fully appreciated then, but so sweet in my memory, and now gone forever.

This theme is also apparent in the narrative in that the Rebellion abandoned Peeta, representing both which is holy and the pearl, to the Capitol. The Capitol did not value his worth, nor see him as a treasure. They tortured and hijacked him "trample them under their feet" , and used him to "rend" the Rebellion by programing him to kill Katniss, the symbol of the Rebellion.

DISTRICT 11 ORANGE DRESS REDRAW

When I’ve started “Everlark Outfits” series I was avoiding Instagram (I have very mmmm strange relationships with this platform) so I haven’t posted my illustrations there. And now I need to redraw my old illustrations before posting because they look bad lol (it’s normal for artist to start hate their illustrations right after it’s done and it becomes even worse with the time). And I already redraw many of my old illustrations to post it on Instagram but I didn’t post it here because I thought “why would people want to look at something they already saw but a bit fixed”. So I didn’t post it separately and only post it all together with all first book outfits. But gosh, that’s my blog, why can’t I post whatever I want to post lol. Sometimes it’s weird in my head 😅. So here’s my redraw of D11 outfit (the square one) that I did recently. I actually still like the old version but I have changed the way I draw Peeta and overall… it just doesn’t look good among my recent illustrations. Funny fact: my patrons on Patreon saw my rough sketch for this redraw and might have noticed that Katniss looked pretty cheerful there. But I decided to save the mood from the old illustration and here she is, looking concerned and sad. Lol.

What do we know about this outfit: I go to my compartment and let the prep team do my hair and makeup. Cinna comes in with a pretty orange frock patterned with autumn leaves. I think how much Peeta will like the color. <…> As the train is pulling into the District 11 station, Cinna puts the finishing touches on my outfit, switching my orange hairband for one of metallic gold and securing the mockingjay pin I wore in the arena to my dress. <…> I can hear the anthem beginning outside in the square. Someone clips a microphone on me. Peeta takes my left hand. / Catching Fire, ch.4 - nothing about Peeta’s outfit again so I worked as Portia here
