The Hunger Games Peeta - Tumblr Posts
I personally believe that the quell was rigged from the beginning and thought of specifically to punish Peeta and Katniss for their rebellious acts in the 74th games. So, if Katniss had died in the 74th games Snow would have devised another, different quell idea to punish Peeta or any other people he thinks will inspire a rebellion.
Weird question - if, hypothetically, Katniss had died in the 74th games who would be the female tribute from District 12 in the quarter quill?? Would they pick a non-victor? Would there only be a male tribute? Would they send both Peeta and Haymitch?
PEETA MELLARK AS A VAMPIRE WITH A CAMOUFLAGE GIFT
Katniss: *ranting* …and I still have no idea why you’d listen to me
Katniss: My mind is always blank yet I’m the biggest over thinker, and when I do overthink I stress myself out
Katniss: So why.
Peeta: Because you’re Katniss
Katniss: *flustered* That doesn’t make any sense
Peeta: I love you too
‘Archer Girl’s Gold’
“You could live a thousand lifetimes and still never deserve that boy”
-Haymitch
Notice !!
Hunger Games AU wherein Katniss fell first
“The Archer Girl misses her trophy boy,
When she shot out arrows to win his heart .
But her trophy boy only wanted gold.
A golden target is ridiculous, don’t act so coy.
Still, gold doesn’t come from arrows of wood,
Her trophy boy wants a trophy girl.
Yet this “trophy” girl is covered in soot,
From all the fires she burned to be your first place pearl.
Oh Archer girl, you aren’t made of metal,
And you shouldn’t cry to be.
Metal and marble never love,
Flesh loves, and flesh heals.
Metal can only bear the weight of its own,
Banged and bruised against the pressure of the rust it had grown.
So tell me Archer, is he really the apple of your eye?
Because I’ve seen you pierce apples twice his size.
So if he wants a trophy girl then let him comply,
Because she’s no one’s trophy wife no matter the gold she strives.”

damn i forgor to post this, anyw everlark once again
A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes was so good, Viola killed it in her little tampon dress.
thought this was funny tbh
i feel like it's kind of the opposite of the learning curve.
What i mean is that i think they slowly rebuild trust because peeta has been through a lot of psychological trauma and manipulation to make him not trust her, and he can't just intellectually tell himself that he can trust her because his memories + his gut instinct + his fear of katniss are too much. so there's no way he could just go back to trusting her.
and Kat was attacked by him and has the trauma from both hunger games, and her sister's death, and peeta attacking her, not to mention the trauma and ptsd from the war. so her issues run pretty deep too, she can't just bounce back from all that and fall head over heels for him.
so all that said, i feel like when he gets back from the capitol at the end of bk 3 they both are intellectually aware they can trust each other and will be safe, but they can't quite believe it. so what ends up happening is that they slowly spend more and more time with each other, kind of creating safe spaces. maybe not much physical contact, or not spending more than a couple hours with each other at once, and they don't do anything with sharp objects (like maybe they walk in the woods together, but she won't take her bow and arrows. maybe they cook together, but they chop vegetables beforehand, not with the other present.) But once they start trusting each other, then they trust more and more rapidly. So it's kinda slow burn for a while and then things escalate quickly.
i am interested in seeing what everyone's timeline is for everlark in the growing together stage. i have been putting together some thoughts for a post about it for a while, but i was wondering what everyone else thought before i finalize it.
Like, do you think it is a slow burn? if it is a slow burn, do they become friends quickly? or is that a slow burn? or, instead of a slow burn, do they just fit back together now that peeta has returned? after the therapy in the capitol, was peeta's temperament more like his pre-hijacked temperament and that made katniss feel like he was back? and if he was back, they could maybe more quickly lean into their friendship/relationship?
what do you all think? ^o^
Coriolanus Snow did not mansplain, manipulate, manslaughter his way to the top for some of y’all to decide that Peeta is the toxic one
I'd be really interested to see a list of parallels between the hunger games and the ballad of songbirds and snakes, and I'm not talking "when coryo says the things we love most" No. I'm saying katniss and Lucy both have mentors who don't expect then to win but still take actions that aid in their successes, but coryo ditches Lucy and haymitch becomes katniss's friend. If no one else makes a list, I might
Coriolanus Snow is the one who creates the concept of betting on and being invested in The Hunger Games, which is ultimately his downfall because katniss everdeen and Peeta mellark use the attention and interest to manipulate and ultimately break the system, which brings about snow's downfall.
And ultimately it's because snow is trying to be the best and promote himself that he loses power in the end. If he hadn't tried to impress Doctor gaul, then the games probably would have ended years before katniss was even born and certainly she wouldn't be able to use donations and attention to bring about the end of his presidency.
