I Know I'm On A Break From Socials And Being An Artist. But Your Hunger Games Fanart Hits A Major Home

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

I have come to the conclusion that my actual favorite trope is established couple who get forcefully separated and one or both of them have to go through hell to get back to one another

My father was martyred by Israel on 10 October 2023 after sacrificing his care in hospital so the injured children could take priority. Today would have been his 60th birthday. He was always selfless, kind, and giving for others. My father gave up everything for me to be able to have a better life, because that is what he always dreamed for me and my sister. The world suffered a great loss when he died, and my heart is always with him and every Palestinian who has lost someone.

In his honour and memory, I would love for anyone who is able to do so to consider donating to The Palestine Children’s Relief Fund.

The PCRF is an amazing organisation that does so much for those in Gaza right now, including helping provide food, water and medicine. You can donate any amount you are able to- there is no minimum! My father would have given his very last cent if he saw the way Palestine was continuing to suffer after over 100 days with this limited aid, so I know celebrating him by helping others is the least he would have wanted.

I saw @parrot-parent do a very successful donation match and I thought it was such a good idea so I will also match all donations up to $500! If you feel comfortable sending me proof of the amount of your donation, I will match it as a donation at the end of February. (My messages are set to mutuals only, but if you donate and we aren’t mutuals if you send an ask with the proof I will make sure to answer it privately.)

Realized I hadn't given Johanna an official design and that seemed like a crime

I love your Finnick x Annie fanart,and everything about it. However,I'm going to make a very specific compliment about your Annie fanart:she always looks fit and somewhat muscular, even (at least as an adult). I've never vibed with her as a small, delicate-looking woman. Besides,she survived a flooded arena,one needs skill, stamina and strength. To top it all,I love the idea of Annie looking like an Olympic swimmer and still being the "Poor Mad Girl" - even in the books,it seemed like she got that nickname due to her PTSD showing in awkward ways(plus,I've seen an autistic HC for her,and it made sense to me that she'd have both) and being showcased to all of Panem.

Ironically,the one I imagined being small and thin was Johanna Mason,lol. Her strategy in the Games was basically "Pretend to be the weepy little girl".

Thank you! And I agree! I actually headcanon that Annie was a career tribute (but not a volunteer, I have a whole thing about it and my ideas about how all the career districts handle their tributes differently) so I definitely think she would have been very strong going into the games.

I also can see her losing a lot of muscle/weight after her games though. Whatever muscle she does gain back I think would be from running, walking, but especially swimming over the last 5 years

But even with that in mind I like drawing her with naturally wider shoulders and on the taller side because I also like the idea of her looking like a pro swimmer so she always looks stronger even at her "weakest"

And about Johanna, I imagine her with like a sleeper build lol. Like she definitely has muscle from working in lumber, but I also imagine her really tiny too

WAITWAITWAIT I JUST REALIZED

Are we finally gonna know the names of Katniss and Peeta's parents????

@lady-corrine I should have known lmao

Which one of you put that Artful Dodger gifset on my dash WHICH ONE

I stayed up until 2 AM binging it (and another 2 hours drawing)

I’ve heard some people complain about them changing Fiyero’s introduction scene, and I get that, but I LOVED it!

Changing it from a very public meeting with Elphaba to a 1 on 1 meeting made it so, instead of him trying to make the crowd laugh (at her expense), he was trying to make HER laugh which is so so good imo

The ending they deserved :(
