okay so this is the big gadge passage but like… I have a question. when haymitch teases katniss, she assumes he’s implying that there’s something going on between madge and gale, but we know katniss is the definition of an unreliable narrator. you know who ELSE delivers the strawberries to madge (and who madge has way better chemistry with)? KATNISS. isn’t it just as reasonable to say that haymitch could be implying something about madge’s feelings towards katniss? (yes ik peeta says ‘I didn’t know madge knew gale’ before this but… I’m just saying...)
like… is it really that big of a stretch? they notably “don’t talk about boys or other girls,” madge gives katniss a priceless family heirloom that carries a lot of emotional weight knowing full well she may never get it back, kisses katniss on the cheek before she leaves for the games, and then brings her mother’s expensive medicine to help katniss’s friend. she doesn’t call gale by his name, even though we know she knows it. she calls him katniss’s friend. I really don’t think it’s about gale specifically, I think madge would’ve brought the morphling regardless of if it was peeta, haymitch, or whoever else that’d been whipped, so long as they mattered to katniss.
one day I will write a long post about madniss, aka (one of) baby’s first hunger games ship(s). one day…
also sorry for the lack of posts recently, I’ve been shadowbanned since the 26th of July.
I’ve been thinking about this moment a lot and how to interpret it, so I want to see what Tumblr thinks. Feel free to leave your thoughts in the comment section or reblogs if you would like to elaborate!
Hello, I am a fan of your EM fics but I want to talk about hunger games too. 💗
I've read this interesting cabincore-like fic of what it was like for Peeta and Katniss to build their life together again with a side of Gale x Johanna.
I am curious: what do you think of Gale x Johanna?
thank you!!🥹💞💞 can you link the fic if you know it?
i like gale x johanna! i don’t see myself reading a fic for them but i don’t mind them being a side couple. generally, though, i prefer gadge. i think the dynamic is cute, so if gale needs a girlfriend i usually go with madge.
Summary: Gale Hawthorne is certain he’s never met a girl as opinionated, infuriating or attractive as Madge Undersee. And he’s met a lot of girls. There’s a few things she ought to be certain of too, though. He loves a good challenge. And he hates to lose.
there's also some " madge + the hawthornes " headcanons cause i couldn't control myself. i have a lot of those too. this is kind of a mix of modern!gadge headcanons and cannon headcanons but oh well
sorry not sorry
madge claims she's a night owl, but she's always the first to sleep between the two of them ( and, most times, gale carries her to bed )
they challenge and tease each other basically 24/7, even in the most stupid things
she always steals his clothes!!
he used to mock her about being a weak drinker... untill they DID go out for a drink and she proved him wrong
she sleeps at the hawthornes weekly
and im pretty sure that's basically fanon at this point, but madge and posy are inseparable. they ADORE eachother
they use their " gale's favorite girls in the world " privilege to drag him to the couch and make him watch disney movies with them
they have a swear jar, but instead of money, they put candies in it. once it's full, they give all the candy to gale's siblings.
he call tell when she gets uncomfortable the easiest, and always tries to make jokes to cheer her up
he's the most romantic out of the two, though
madge always talks with him about her current reads
he pretends to be annoyed, but secretly loves it
she always plays songs for him too. madge sitting in front of her piano is one of his favorite views ever
" princess " + " soldier hawthorne " = their top one teasing nicknames, fight me.
picnics in the woods are frequent
coffee dates too
they put a lot of value into the other's opinion on important stuff
no matter how tired gale is, if he senses she's stressed out when he gets home he'll 200% melt chocolate, cut some strawberries and basically shove it down her throat till she's alright, or at least open to talking
she's always amazed by how caring he is with the ones he loves
they ABSOLUTELY have had at least one dinner in the dark with candle lights where madge thought it was because the power went off but gale did it on purpose to try being romantic
Soooo. I've been thinking about posting either new chapters of Play That Song or I can start a new fic. I have two ideas for new fics but I need votes on what to do first.
(1) I can do another chapter of Play That Song based off of a Weezer song (I will not reveal which one because this WIP is a smutty joke) Pairing - Gadge + Johanna.
(2) Or I can post a different chapter of Play That Song based off 18 by Anarbor. (Will have slight age gap 18 x 20 + smut) Pairing - either Everlark or Odesta.
(3) Post a new fic with a dark! Peeta x Katniss ((if this is voted for I'll reveal what the au is..😅 just trust me))
(4) Again a new fic but with a werewolf! Peeta x Katniss. ((Same rules as 3, both aus are things I've been thinking about doing for a while. & I've been dying to do a werewolf fic.))
I don't know if anyone will actually vote but those who do. Thank you.
He fucks her, in the middle of the beautiful meadow, with nature singing as he moves in and out of her, hard and fast and mad.
She wants him to go slower, to be gentler, sweeter in his touches and movement, wants it to be more loving, to feed into the lie she made up for herself, instead she is left living in the hope he might love her, he might start loving her.
If she didn't like it, being fucked hard and fast and mad, she wouldn't keep coming back, again and again, she wouldn't find herself crumbling under his touch.
She is angry too, and sad, and afraid. Being with him, these moments, stolen and hidden from the prison this world is, it's as close as she will get to escaping, to forgetting, to lying that it will be alright.
What about just Gale/Madge/Katniss? No love triangle required if they're all together! Because actually...I'm on board with that. Madge and Katniss are good friends, and throwing in the added mix of Gale, would make for something very intriguing.
Gale loves Katniss, Madge loves Gale, Katniss has feelings for Gale and potentially Madge, and Madge might also have a teeny crush on Katniss? And Gale really doesn't care about the mayor's daughter, but Katniss spends so much time with her, and oh, okay, she's actually great??
Plus if one sees Madge as a secret revolutionary, it's something she and Gale share, and that might help Katniss gain a lot more confidence in terms of fighting back. Really, there's so much to explore in that. (and in all of it, really)
There is something really appealing to me about Katniss being together with people she feels comfortable with, and Gale and Madge certainly qualify. The more I think about it the more I like it.
