Some people: The love story isn't the point of The Hunger Games series! The love story distracts people from the important messages about war and oppression!
Me: Actually, the love story is vital to the series because it sits at the heart of all the major themes.
Other people: Yeah! You're right! This series isn't a love story! It's a metaphor for those themes!
Me: π€¦ββοΈ
Me: YOU DON'T GET IT EITHER!
These things are not mutually exclusive! The love story can be thematically relevant and a metaphor for philosophical concepts and still be a love story! Romance is not a dirty word! It's okay for a story to be about characters in love!
I little while ago I drew what some of the Victors might have looked like when they won their games and made myself very sad in the process
I feel like we get so used to their adult versions we see in the series that we forget they were all children too.
!!!!MAJOR Trigger Warning!!!!
Blood and Gore ahead (I know it might not be a lot for some people, but it is for me, and that goes double since they're only kids)
Haymitch Abernathy- Victor of the 50th Hunger Games
Enobaria- Victor of the 62nd Hunger Games
Finnick Odair- Victor of the 65th Hunger Games
Annie Cresta- Victor of the 70th Hunger Games
Johanna Mason- Victor of the 71st Hunger Games
Doomed Found Family my beloathed
OOO I really like that interpretation!!
And you're right! I did make her expression different on purpose!
My reasoning was that Haymitch's memory of her would have been when he was still a child and saw her as an equal partner going through the same trauma as him- so she looks more determined and ready
Unlike all the others who he would remember as children he was meant to protect as an adult and failed
Also I was so surprised you found her so quickly (but I probably shouldn't have been in hindsight lol)
The only family he has.

Hot take of the day: So many angsty romance tropes are made 10x more angsty when the love interest isn't a morally gray asshole and is a genuinely kind person who's trying their best to navigate the situation they're in without hurting anyone
Peeta doodles
Mini Rant about Peeta's nightmares:
When he explains his nightmare to Katniss, he tells her they're mostly about her and he's okay when he knows she's safe. I don't believe him. Based on his paintings, I think his nightmares are a lot more often like hers than he lets on But Katniss completely bases her self worth on how much she can provide for others. SO I think Peeta tells one lie in the moment to tell the bigger truth: Her existence is enough.

So I reread the jabber jay scene and the scene after to draw this
and holy shit I'll never get over how much of Peeta's dialogue and character got cut in the movies
Most of his role in these scenes was cut entirely or given to Johanna of all people?? (love Johanna, I just think it's kinda funny)
I wonder if part of it is because Peeta notices and cares about the details and the movies cut out most of said details lmao
