Bracing myself for committing potential Everlark sacrilege here. Still, I’m curious: Does anyone else ever dabble in the What If/headcanon that Peeta made up his original crush on Katniss? That in the beginning, it really was all just part of his and Haymitch's plan to hype Katniss up, and help boost her favor as the super rare chance for a District 12 Victor? But in the course of the first games, and particularly while committing to the star-crossed lovers act in the cave, he ended up actually falling in love with her?

This was actually my original interpretation the first time I read the first book. That all the rest of the backstory is still true: Mr. Mellark pointing Katniss out, Katniss singing the Valley song, etc. But it was just how Peeta remembered her, not the beginning of years-long pining.

Quick disclaimer: I'm not trying to argue for this headcanon's legitimacy. In fact, I now know it's not true. While writing this post, I remembered that Peeta told Katniss during the Victory Tour he was jealous of Gale before he officially met her. So by his own words, Peeta's crush predates the first Hunger Games.

Still, reading the first book on its own, it’s a headcanon I always come back to, and I think works in its own way sometimes.

For one thing, it’s a bit beyond my suspension of disbelief that Peeta was reaped alongside the girl he was silently obsessed with for 11 years. It feels way more like convenience to me than destiny or anything like that. Not to mention, this is supposedly a crush that began and persisted long before Peeta hit puberty.

But it’s not just the realistic aspect that draws me to this hc. It's also because I love how much it contributes to the 'accidental soulmates' aspect on Everlark. The idea that these two were not meant to fall in love. That if their lives went the way they thought or planned, they never would have spoken. They would have rarely crossed paths, if at all. They would have married different people, if anyone when it came to Katniss, but Gale would be the sole candidate if she did. And they would have lived out their days and died as strangers. But through a series of completely unforeseen, bizarre circumstances in this cruel world that brought them together in the most horrific of ways, from it emerged a real bond between them. Even if it started as a charade for sponsors, it morphed into a real bond of love and care that was genuine, and beautiful, and selfless, and real.

My take is essentially that Peeta took his mother's final words to him about Katniss as bitingly true, not that that made them any less hurtful. And from that point forward, he figured if he was going to do something worthwhile before his inescapable death, it would be to help his District. And the way to do that would be to help the girl who could do that better than he ever could.

Sure, there are things like him keeping hold on Katniss' hand during the chariot ride, and teasingly prodding her for a kiss while she's treating him. But...ok, I hesitate to project onto a boy who was and is leagues above me in every way (feel free to flame me for this). But as a former 16-year old boy myself, who was roughly that age when first reading the story, I kinda figured he just wanted to experience a taste of romance before his inevitable death? Like the PG version of "I don't want to die a virgin."

Anywho, gonna whistle past that embarassing hot take lol. But I think this hc gels well too with all his actions Katniss finds questionable: telling her everyone was watching her during the chariot ride, the crush revelation, teaming up with the careers to throw them off her trail, and fighting Cato. He's doing it all for her to win, even at the expense of himself. Not because he has feelings for her (yet), but because he believes in her.

But it's at the point when Katniss finds him in the mud bank, and she does everything in her power from then on to keep him alive, that maybe his feelings for her take a turn for the real. She shouldn't be trying to keep him alive. It’s of no benefit to her whatsoever. But she refuses to let him die. She will not even discuss it. It makes zero sense to him. No one's ever valued his life this much, even his own family. Why is this girl he barely knows, who never noticed him before, suddenly sparing no expense to keep him alive? To the point of risking her own life for him?

This comes to a head when he tries to rebuke her for going to the feast:

"No! Just don't, Katniss! Don't die for me. You won't be doing me any favors. All right? "Maybe I did it for myself, Peeta, did you ever think of that? Maybe you aren't the only one who...who worries about..what it would be like if..." "If what, Katniss?" "That's exactly the kind of topic Haymitch told me to steer clear of." "Then I'll just have to fill in the blanks myself."

On that last line, I took that as Peeta seeing for the first time that Katniss actually does care about him. More than anyone ever has. That she wants him to live, just as much as she wants them to win. And that's when he truly falls for her. Sadly, he makes the mistake of presuming she feels the same way. That's the only blank he filled in incorrectly.

But did he, though? Because what follows that last line is the first kiss between them that makes Katniss feel "stirring in her chest" and "wanting another." This whole conversation made her want to shut the world out, because "whatever I'm feeling, it's no one's business but mine."

So maybe their feelings for each other kinda awoke at the same time? And deep, deep down, the two of them could sense that shift in emotion toward each other. Where performance became reality. For Peeta, much stronger. But for Katniss, she's not quite there yet.

Now yes, I'm aware Katniss gets Peeta to tell the story of his crush AFTER this happens. But as Katniss points out prior to this, he's the silver-tongued one. Not to mention an established good liar. So keeping with the idea this was when he first noticed her, maybe he blends the facts here a little, and decides to make this the point of where his crush began? He probably had it in the vault anyway since the interview.

Finally, I thought this better explained Peeta's anger at the end, when the mask is finally lifted for him. Because logically, why would he think what started as an established act would become real for Katniss? As Katniss says, they were strangers who'd never spoken before all this. Is it because he still thinks she can't lie? Well she proved him wrong there, if only for a moment. I thought the more likely reason he thought Katniss' feelings for him became real, is because that's exactly what happened to him. As I mentioned before, his presumption wasn't entirely off, and Katniss' words that "not all of it" was for the Games are true enough. But it doesn't make the revelation any less crushing for him.

I really do wonder sometimes what kind of story this would have made for if Suzanne took this approach in the sequels. I know now it's an incorrect headcanon, but I'm curious if anyone else ever shared it while reading the first book, and wonders the same.

If you read all my silly ramblings about a now-debunked headcanon, I am both eternally grateful and eternally sorry. Feel free to share, concur, roast, or do whatever in response. Thank you and may this ship be ever on your dashboard :)

My obsession with the Road to Ninja universe is back and reminded me of how funny Sasuhina would be

RTN Sasuhina Headcanons

Sasuke first fell for her after he saw her beat up a group of Menmas admirers. He wanted her to do that for him

Sasuke spends every clan meeting trying to flirt with hinata

He suggested an arranged marriage between the two of them (hinata spent the rest of the night attacking him with kunai)

Hinata has tried (unsuccessfully) to hang around Sasuke to make Menma jealous

She still hangs out with him afterwards and says it’s to do “recon” on Menma but she barley ask about him

Sasuke introduces her as his girlfriend whenever they’re out (Hinata will loudly deny it)

Hinata will visit Sasuke when he’s in the hospital (even if she’s the one who put him there)

Sasuke is one of the only people who can make Hinata blush

When they do get together Hinata becomes the most possessive girlfriend ever (Sasuke loves it)

#there’s just something so funny about angry hinata #they would be crazy together and crazy about each other #rtn sasuhina #rtn Sasuke #rtn hinata #incorrect headcanons #road to ninja #sasuhina #charasuke uchiha

jjk headcanons ( as people in a class )

my masterlist here

feat- Yuuji, geto, gojo, megumi, nobara, choso and panda

pt 2 here

Yuuji : I feel like he's the kind of guy to do absolutely nothing in classes, like does the bare minimum studying and somehow end up like getting okay grades but like everyone thinks he cheats or something, but like no he doesn't he just has a little brain somewhere in that head of his. like in all his fight scenes he has a really good fighting tactic and is quite observant but like acts like an idiot. Like that friend everyone has that seems dumb but isn't as dumb as they seem. I think Yuujis handwriting would be like one of two things; like either its handwriting that only people who are able to read it are his friends and the teacher, or like no one can read it and he gets called up to explain what word he wrote. I SWEAR HE HAS ADHD

Gojo:

omg that one guy in everyones class that is so obsessed with himself but if you get pass that they're kind of adequate? like they have friends that actually care about them but like their friends are so done with their bullshit like if gojo says something so narcissistic shoko or someone would like slap the back of their head and apologise for him? Like we know he's pretty, he knows he's pretty, goddamn everyone knows. Grades- so focused on himself he's doing the bare minimum . His handwriting is fucking chicken scratch. Gojo needs help-

Geto

that one guy that seems so friggin sweet and nice but like they've got these fucked up views that you usually don't uncover till much later and then you're just super concerned but you don't know what to say? kind of like the weird kid but like actually crazy views ( ex. "monkeys" i think thats what he called non-shamans) but like a bunch of girls have a crush on him and he actually has friends? Grades- pretty good, i feel like he would study a lot. i feel like his handwriting is like readable but like slanted to the side.

Megumi

undoubtedly that stoic kid but has a bunch of friends who are like crackheads but not actually crackheads. He definitely has the best grades in the class- i believe he has a funny obsession with like specific kinds of washi tape like ones that have little dogs on it, like his notes are so pretty and he writes his a's funny like the way it shows up when its typed (a) like i do this but like i feel like he would too, and he would put lines through his z's. that one kid that's notes are so pretty it's like they spend hours on it but he somehow does it in in class and keeps up with all his notes, like each topic is color coded. his handwriting would be so fricking fancy like you have no idea how he does it but its like so normal to him.

nobara

that one girl, that like has a shopping addiction and will refuse wearing anything that isn't the best of the best cotton or like silk. like she will be constantly complaining about how she doesn't have anything to wear but never wears the same outfit more than once a month like you have no clue how she does it, but if you go over to her house she has a fricking walk in closet and her clothes are colour coded, like she's got one section for black, one for red and so on so forth. Her grades, are like terrible for someone you've like never seen studying but she always says she does for like hours on end. her notes look like someone hung her from the ceiling and forced her to write them, like they're weirdly long and big but like when she writes essays they're quite good. When she does exams and stuff she doesn't do well in the slightest (#relatable), but she's super smart in class.

Choso -

since he's like super old but looks like a mid 20s guy, Imma do him too. That one kid that seems so scary but is like a total cinnamon roll. He's like that one kid that everyone wants to be friends with but for some reason he's really intimidating. Like for example, if you say something he doesn't like, or doesn't agree with, he'll just kind of stare at you and be like ??? wdym you don't like butter on toast??? its the best. I feel like he also has this unadulterated hatred for mayonnaise, he'll specifically ask the lunch lady like "miss, is there any mayonnaise???" i headcanon him as having this really cute love for like shiba inus, like his background on his computer is this really small and adorable dog but like everyone expects him to have a doberman or something. But no!!! SHIBA INUS. I think his handwriting would be so old fashioned like he doesn't write words such as "they've" he'll write something like "they have". Unnecessarily drags out words when he says them but like it's so cute cuz he's adorable. has no idea what goes on in class but actually does really well in his studies. I feel like he'll be that kid with the newest stuff but he has no clue how to use them.

Panda

the fact that no one even finds it strange how theres a panda in their class is concerning but maybe like they think he's a kid who just likes looking like a panda. HE LOVES SAUSAGES. like has like three of them in his school bag like buddy?? um go for it i guess. His grades are literally the worst. He'll be like OMG GUYS I GOT LIKE 32% like bro what?? his highest grade ever would be like 58% no clue how hes gonna get into uni. his handwriting?? Like gojo. Chicken scratch. He loves listening to music in class and doesn't pay much attention but somehow never gets in trouble?

Let me know if u guys want a part two!

Tim drake but he has a completely unexplainable beef with one of the lesser Gotham rogues. I'm thinking like kite man or something. Where anyone who sees him fight them feels the need to pull him aside because it sounds like he is deliberately digging in to deeply personal traumas of that villain to hurt them. He regularly makes this rogue cry. He only ever says "they know what they did". Asking the rogue? "I know what I did :(". And yet, the rogue still makes specific effort to trap him.

Years later it comes out that he and this rogue thought it was funny watching the batfam and Gotham's collective concern and confusion. I headcanon that every Gotham rogue has been to at least one summer camp for theatre. The rogue can cry on command. It's literally just a bit.

While I do find it funny that henchmen in Gotham probably warn each other about the Red Hood because he's a bat who will actually kill you. I think it would be better if Jason was actually seen as some sort of savior or idol to like 90% of the goons scattered around Gotham. Doesn't matter who they work for, they all know Jason, former crime-lord that took over majority of Gotham's underground in one night.

---

Jason, years after the events of UTRH, now fighting crime alongside the batfam, except every goon he runs into immediately recognizes him, stops fighting, and starts begging.

the first time it happens, Jason assumes they're begging for their lives only to hear them begging for him to return to the crime lord business so they can work for him and not Gotham's current money-stingy, abusive rogues (Black Mask lol)

---

Jason showing up to patrol as backup for Dick in an overrun warehouse full of Two-Face's henchmen and as Jason's about to interfere, one of the men stops dead in their tracks and stares really hard at Jason until:

Goon: Oh my God, boss, is that you?

Jason, pulling out his guns, about to shoot:

Goon: Mr. Hood, sir???

Jason, halfway about to pull the trigger: Wait a min–Jeremy? Oh wow, it's been ages! How's the wife?

Goon (Jeremy): Oh my God it IS you, holy shit where have you BEEN? Me and the guys miss you, man!

Dick, with a knife at his throat: What is happening right now

Jason: Ahh, well, crime-lording just wasn't fitting in on the daily schedule. Tryna turn over a new leaf and all that

Goon (Jeremy): Aw, that's disappointing. We really liked working for you, right guys?

[Chorus of enthusiastic "YEAHS" from the rest of the henchmen (even the one holding Dick at knifepoint)]

Goon (Jeremy): Well, anyways, I can't beat you up knowing you're my old boss! You gave us the best health benefits! We'll just let you take the evidence and leave.

Jason: Aw, thanks guys :)

---

And that's why 95% percent of Jason's missions in Gotham end in success. Not because he's willing to kill people or because rogues are terrified of him, but because 90% of the rogues' henchmen once worked for Jason and fuckin love him lol.

The bat kids should threaten to get adopted by Tim every time Bruce is being a dickhead or just an inconvenience in anyway shape or form. Tim is paranoid enough to have his foster license and probably overthinks it enough to have Gotham CPS under his control. (Some people are bribing the cops while this man is bribing CPS smh.)

And like when Bruce over steps, they’re like “ok then, Tim’s my new dad now. “ Then they go camp out at Tim’s place for a while.

Usually the younger ones (+Cass) do this but it’s even more hilarious when Dick and Jason catch on to this. I think that Jason would do it first tho

Like imagine if Bruce refused to give Jason money for ammo or smth:

Bruce, literally so tired bc of this: Jaylad, for the last time, I’m not giving you money to buy real bullets. I'd be happy to buy you the rubber ones.

Jason, the most extra, dramatic younger-sibling-turned-older-sibling: Ok then, I get it, you don’t love me anymore. I can take a hint. You know what? I’ll do you a favour and get myself adopted by Tim *cue fake sniffles and dramatic exit*

Bruce, so so tired this has happened like twenty times this week already and it’s Wednesday: Oh my god why does he keep stealing my kids what the fuck

Tim also has no concept of money so he just shrugs, hands them his black amex and lets them do whatever the fuck they want
