"THE CUTEST IN THE WHOLE WORLD! I WANT TO SEE YOUR SMILE"

and it's his birthday my baby boy is NOT a baby boy 😭😭😭

no matter young Haymitch's characterization in Sunrise, I'm always going to be partial to the interpretation that he was a smart-ass punk who thought he knew better than everyone until he was crowned & punished.

the Games changed him, all right. they made him face death and finally flinch, finally see how small & finite his life was and that the world didn't care how clever he was or how above-it-all he acted.

one wrong move, one missed chance encounter with Maysilee, and he would've been dead. and no amount of bravado, or hat tricks, or snarky comebacks would've made any difference.

he went home without the innocence he came with, that he didn't know he'd had to begin with. he'd been so sure of himself. (he'd been so afraid.) he was smarter than the other tributes. (the girl looked like an airhead but she was bigger than him and just as fast, and she'd-)

47 50 other people had to die for young Haymitch to learn he didn't know anything about anything, actually.

because what's more, he had a debt bigger than his own life to pay when he got home. he hadn't expected that. I imagine it took him by surprise. I imagine he felt angry and guilty and powerless, with unimaginable sorrow that cut him down to size... as very small, & stupid, & only sixteen.

imagine that as a coming of age.

thank you good sir 🔥

so... i started working on my series of drabbles i wanted to write for SOTR!! (so excited for it btw)

I wanted to write at least a few teensy little drabbles about the 50th hunger games, yk?

This one is about Mr. and Mrs. Everdeen and was finished in approximately 30 minutes, but I'm pretty proud of it, especially the later scenes.

If you're interested, here's the link below :) thank you so much

“Sing to me.”

“What?” Jack stirs. Will’s smile is teasing, lilting almost as she looks up at him from his lap, her eyes half closed. It’s a special peace she gives him, where he feels like nothing could ruin these moments. He’s never really felt that way with anyone else.

“Sing to me, Jackie.”

OR: A collection of scenes, scattered throughout Mr. and Mrs. Everdeen's life.

GUYSSS 😭😭 I JUST GOT OFF THE TOGACHAKO GRIND

In another lifetime

I’m prolly going to finish today or tomorrow if you wanna talk then

yeah absolutely lol! :) tmrw is my b-day so i'd be super excited to talk. Have fun reading and tysm sm sm for the ask

Katara, afterwards: Oh, my god. Suki. It was so hot. He's so cute.

Suki: Will you marry him?

Katara: Oh, absolutely.

Zuko: Bad news— Sokka locked himself outside of his own house.

Zuko: Good news—we didn’t have to wait around for a locksmith.

Zuko: Bad news— Gran Gran and Hakoda find it very concerning that I know how to pick locks, and tried to unlock my Tragic Backstory(TM). I was too embarrassed to admit that the reason I learned it was because, at thirteen, I figured that was the kind of skill that would impress my father and the Fire Nation Military.

Zuko: Good news—a cute girl saw me do it.

Zuko: Bad news—it was Katara, and since she’s already seen me fall off of several high places, tell terrible jokes, tell her “I’ll save you from the pirates”, cry because I saw a turtleduck that was just too damn small, and knows that I can play the tsungi horn, she’ll never think I’m cool no matter what I do. It’s too late. She knows.

Madge: *thinking about the Mockingjay pin* I'm gonna give this to a girl, then MAYBE she'll like me and realize how fucking gay I am for her. also haha screw you Gale she didn't wear anything you gave her

Katniss *thinking about the Mockingjay pin*: Wow this was Madge’s aunt’s, what a precious and valuable family heirloom, it must have been special to her, I’ll treasure it forever.

Maysilee *thinking about the Mockingjay pin*: this bird is ugly and stupid I’m literally never going to wear this.

Because to Snow, Lucy Gray is an ideal. She's a picture perfectly representing what Snow should have had, what he deserved. And that's what still haunting him. The thought that the same picture may be forever unattainable.

But to Haymitch, Lenore Dove is everything. She is his age, and she grows and morphs as he grows and morphs. She is his other half. She's not a picture, no, she's a book that keeps growing.

To Snow, Lucy Gray is forever the same 16-year-old girl who ~betrayed~ him, and she haunts him accordingly. But Lenore Dove ages and grows gray alongside Haymitch, like she’s walking next to him through the years instead of lying in her grave. If you even care.
