#Everlark feels

[distractionsfromthefood]

Came across this NYT Modern Love article and it gave me Everlark modern AU feels. Sharing with a gift link so hopefully it works and anyone can read it.

I just wanna share that I found that “You’re still the One” by Shania Twain is SUCH AN EVERLARK SONG?? Like listen to the lyrics!!

“We beat the odds together”

“We mighta took the long way, we knew we’d get there someday” = This would have happened anyway 😭

“They said, I bet they’ll never make it”

Literally every line is Everlark 😭😭😭

I totally agree :)

I especially like the Petersons version of this song! It sounds like something that could be played at the Hob or at the Harvest festival complete with banjo solos and everything!

This story give me everlark feels. Mind me I know Katniss is not a crafty girl. But I can see how she would make something for they wedding. How they could decide why not to have house warming party and wedding party together :)

sometimes i’m normal about the hunger games and then i remember that in district 12 there’s a wedding ceremony where the couple toasts a piece of bread together in order to signify the beginning of their shared new life and then the main character and her love interest are the girl on fire and the boy with the bread and their first fucking interaction is when he burns a loaf of bread to give to her

Suzanne collins is a certified GENIUS because by making most of the book about the PUBLICITY of the rebellion and not the fight itself, she was telling us that wars are won by who persuades more- who controls the narrative .

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

[lemonluvgirl]

hello! just a thought here but “Sweet Nothing” by Taylor Swift is so very Peeta coded to me 😭 I thought it was just something I should share 🥲❤️

I agree, but then again I think pretty much all of Taylor's songs are about everlark.

Percabeth and Everlark were really putting in the time to destroy the 'dumb blonde' trope because while both Peeta and Annabeth (the blondes) have the whole 'I've loved you as long as I've known you' thing going on, Percy and Katniss were the most oblivious motherfuckers I've ever had to read from the perspective of. Because why did Percy 'the memory of her tethered me to the mortal world' Jackson, and Katniss 'save him before me' Everdeen think that their relationships were ever going to stay strictly platonic😭😭😭

i think that a lot of the fandom mischaracterises hijacked!peeta and it low key bugs me

because he isn't a single-minded murderer or filled with bloodlust - he's terrified

like a wounded animal, he lashes out at katniss because of how much he fears her; his mind has been so utterly warped that he can't see an escape other than through violence. he's convinced she's going to torture him, so he wants to stop her

which is why i think the idea that he hurts her post-mockingjay isn't a fair assumption; by this point, he's recovered enough that he is no longer violent. even in the capitol, his final descriptive relapse shows him punishing himself before he's willing to lay a hand on katniss

while he'll obviously never fully recover, his reported periods of relapse (grabbing the back of chairs and the like) are drawn from terror, previously aimed at katniss and later at himself as he gains back functionality

he was never warped into a mutt, or stripped of his personhood, or turned into a sadist. he was just made to fear everyone and everything - primarily katniss, which then manifested as a fear of himself.

Yk what's so hilarious? The fact that Katniss told us that Darius knowing she and Peeta do sleep together would be just as bad if Gale were there to see it. Implying that she would be horrified if Gale found out about her and Peeta's late-night sleepovers. Just for HijackPeeta to air out the nights on the train, even implying more than cuddles had occurred. And Katniss gave less shits about Gale finding out. Not even a thought about it. She was just hyper-focusing on Peeta, and then proceeded to daydream about the nights on the train 💀 she even confirmed it to everyone, when she was like “You like to sleep with the windows open.” RIGHT IN FRONT OF GALE. And she still pays no mind to him and only wants to cry for her boy, for what has happened to her and Peeta’s relationship and love.

Like character development, ig? Or maybe it’s that she is so over Gale’s foolery and no longer cares about his pain. She just wants Peeta back, she just wants to go back to those nights and damm anyone who finds out about it. She just wants her boy with the bread.

I just realized that katniss has a "wuh HUH why no kisses for me??" moment in every book

1. THG when she first feels the "stirring" is her chest and wants Peeta to continue kissing her

2. CF the morning after the Quell announcement and Peeta is in Drill Sergeant Mode rather than Comforting Fiance Mode

3. MJ when Hijacked! Peeta greets her with violence rather than kissing her senseless like she was expecting

Okay the last one is a bit extreme but still it's soooo funny that she NOT ONLY completely expects kisses from Peeta, but is either disappointed or utterly shocked when she doesn't get them lol

“peeta is bisexual” you guys are losing the vision. peeta isn’t even straight. katniss INVENTED sexuality for him. whatever katniss identifies as, he’s like “yeah, i’ll take that one” no questions asked

[katnissmellarkkk]

favorite book quotes :

“It feels like such a luxury, sleeping with Peeta again. I didn’t realize until now how starved I’ve been for human closeness. For the feel of him beside me in the darkness. I wish I hadn’t wasted the last couple of nights shutting him out. I sink down into sleep, enveloped in his warmth, and when I open my eyes again, daylight’s streaming through the windows.”
