growing up is realising you have an affinity for pink/black relationships because the depth of their connection to each other turning foul (because they fear the enormity of their feelings), and them eventually having to work together to grow past and find the deep love that was always there, always changing them under deeply complex layers, just appeals to you because you are afraid of loving but simultaneously want to be so connected to someone you can't tell if it's love or hatred, but you always knew it was fated to be a love that changes the very fabric of you—for better or worse.

I like thinking about how involved Haymitch was with Peeta’s recovery after the hijacking. I imagine even more so than Katniss describes in the book. He was the one giving Katniss constant updates, and not sugarcoating it. I think Haymitch was constantly there since his rescue. I know Peeta was angry with Haymitch and maybe they didn’t interact very often at first. But I think Haymitch was still always watching over his recovery. I like to think that Peeta regained a lot of trust in Haymitch in District 13, before he was sent to the Capitol. Maybe not in conjunction with Katniss, but in their personal relationship with each other.
I know Haymitch chose Katniss in the 74th games, and honestly also in the Quarter Quell, but I think he loved Peeta just as much.

I think an interesting Hunger Games book would be one about being in the Career system in districts one or two. Because imagine being pressured by your parents or your peers or what have you when you’re a little kid to attend an academy designed to train you to murder other kids in the Hunger Games, with the expectation that you’ll one day volunteer to do just that. It’s spending your entire childhood in a brainwashing pressure cooker to turn you into a killing machine like….

i absolutely love your depictions of hg characters!! ♥️♥️ humbly requesting the victor trio if you haven't already gotten that as a prompt 👀👏🏻
Aw, thank you. 😊😊😊 I’m glad people approve of the way I’m drawing them.
Here you go, a night out at a campfire (post Mockingjay). I like giving the characters some nice moments together since they didn’t have that many in the books. And our baker is always up to prepare a sweet treat for his girl.
(Katniss approves … but also, hurry up with those marshmallows, Peeta!)

Still on my Hunger games grind, so can we talk about the relationships I legit never see discussed?
I’m talking about the other victors and their relationships with each other. Like from the way they interact and what we hear about them in catching fire they are all clearly friendly, or as a bare minimum, tolerable with each other.
And although they seem to stick with making friends primarily within their own circle we have evidence that they do establish personal connections with each other’s outside of their district.
People like Haymitch and Chaff or Finnick and Johanna. Honestly it makes sense since the victors all have shared trauma and can understand what they’re all going through, but I need to know how and when this begins?!?!?
Like in Catching Fire Katniss clearly doesn’t like them, at least at the beginning, and of course it makes sense since she doesn’t know them and never gets the chance too because of the quarter quell, but knowing what they’ve all gone through I honestly felt so upset when her and Peeta were making fun of them.
Still, I wonder what their relationships with the victors would have been like had the quarter quell had been different. I don’t think Katniss and Peeta would have trauma bonded with them in quite the same way as other victors had, but I’m so sad they never got to see the other victors behind the persona the Captiol crafted for them.
Also speaking of newer tributes relationships with other victors, what I really want to see is Finnicks relationship with them. I mean he was the youngest presumably for a good few years since the way I’ve always seen it is 18/17 year olds win the most often for obvious reasons and every couple of years you might get a 16 year old with 15 year olds being extremely rare.
But like if they’re used to 16, 17 and 18 year olds who age into adults only a few years after their games then what was it like having a full on child running around the Capital with them for like 3 years?!?
Like okay maybe I’m reaching, but I feel like in mockingjay Finnick had a really close relationship with Beetee and Haymitch. I don’t want to say it was parental, but since they were both quite a bit older than Finnick when he won his games I think it would’ve been them, as well as Mags who kinda showed Finnick how to be a Victor and maybe even helped protect him since the Captiol was being so, well…Captiol.
Honestly the idea of the older victors all helping to mentor the younger ones on how to be victors is so sad but in like a bittersweet kind of way.
And Beetee making Finnick the trident to distract him from Annie while Haymitch tried to convince him not to do the propo has my whole heart.
If you couldn’t tell by this post the victors and their respective endings make me so sad.
