What are your top 10 THG characters!? :)
oooo anon this is such a hard one i love all of them equ--
katniss. begging yall to wake up and appreciate that there would be no series without the girl on fire.
lucy gray. writing a song abt ur bitch of an ex and singing it right in front of him? iconic behaviour. catching coriolanus out in a singular lie and bouncing? the ultimate power move.
finnick. he is the sweetest, cockiest human to ever walk the face of the earth and he deserved so much better than what he got. still bitter over his ending if you couldnt tell.
johanna, my favourite man-hating lumberjack lesbian. she'd be the type of friend to back you up, even if you're in the wrong. im in love with this woman.
peeta. he had to be in my top five. i dont trust people who dont like him. i just wanna hold him in my arms and tell him everything will be alright
annie. if annie has ten fans, im one of them. if annie has one fan, its me. if annie has no fans, please come to my funeral. enough said.
effie. she is a fashion icon and although she sometimes says the wrong things, her heart is always in the right place <3
sejanus. his death ripped my heart out of my chest. he was such a sweetheart and all he wanted to do was be part of a better world :((
haymitch. him falling off the stage at the reaping will forever make me burst into laughter. hes hilarious, i just adore him. his bond with katniss never fails to make me sob.
cinna. people don't talk about him enough and it makes me so sad. his death killed something inside of me. he served cunt 24/7 -- hes so baby girl (hes a grown man)

thoughts from chapters 10-17
- haymitch and katniss’ relationship continue to be special. they can speak in shorthand, and they are honest to each other, but more than that, he can be blunt, and she won’t take offense, because she knows he wouldn’t say it if it wasn’t true
- the way katniss lets her mother doctor her and heal her broken heel, when in the first book she barely accepted an ironed dress. ugh <3
- peeta immediately coming down on haymitch and katniss with the firm coach persona is so funny. he is effie’s son the way katniss is haymitch’s daughter. i wonder how much of it was a coping mechanism tho
- the reveal that maysilee donner was not only katniss’ mum’s friend but also madge’s aunt is heartbreaking. madge, this quiet girl, befriends another quiet girl who happens to be the child of her mother and aunt’s childhood friend. and then her friend is reaped just like her aunt was and what more can she offer but the pin that belonged to her aunt. my heart.
- very fun that katniss received some information from her prep team, inadvertently. bet snow didn’t think that would be her source. but the districts feed the capitol itself, so of course it would affect the “normal people” of the capitol
- katniss realisation that the capitol cares more about the victors than faceless children in the games each year makes so much sense to me, though it should already be obvious. of course when you have gotten to know people, to attach a personality to the face, of course then you’d care. again connection is what brings down the capitol, and that’s why the people of the capitol has to be kept separate from the districts because if they knew what was going on, would they still sit comfortably in their city?
- it’s also interesting to see how snow presents the games (as he probably has for decades) as something so written into stone, as something formally codified, reading from some document that was probably faked with teabags to look old and official. when we know from tbosas that it was some drunken idea, scribbled in a college students messy handwriting. if anyone’s a spin doctor it’s snow
- mags deciding to take a nap during her private session with the gamemakers is queen shit
- she’s like i’m definitely gonna die anyway and im too old for this shit idc
- i’m sorry but the definitive marriage ceremony of district 12 being a toasting? the combination of fire and bread? as in peeta and katniss are literally the definition of marriage and love in their district ?? (im sure this connection has been made before but i can’t)

Y/N WAS IN THE KITCHEN, PREPARING SOME DINNER. It was almost 5 pm and Katniss wasn't home, she was beginning to worry. She was out hunting, needing her time alone. She was supposed to be home almost an hour ago but she was taking her sweet time.
Usually, Y/N wouldn't mind Katniss taking longer hunting but she needed help with dinner because Haymitch and Effie were coming to eat. Y/N heard footsteps coming from the door, and it unlocks and she turns to see a very dirty Katniss. Dirt and mud dripping off her clothes.
Y/N's eyes widened and she gasped, she just cleaned the floors! "Katniss!" She ran up to her, checking her face for any sign of injury.
"I'm fine, just fell in some dirt." She put her hunting gear down, and sniffed the air with a delighted expression. "What's for dinner, princess?"
"Tomato soup and garlic bread, of course. It's Haymitch's favorite, he'll be very excited for it." Y/N walked back into the kitchen, Katniss following with a confused face.
"Why?" Katniss tried to sit down in the dining table but was grabbed by her girlfriend, disapproval on her face.
"Did you forget? Effie and Haymitch are coming down for dinner! I told you five times, Kitty, how could you forget?" Y/N tutted disappointingly. Katniss shrugged.
"Guess it slipped my mine, dear. Sorry. What can I do to make it up?" Katniss had a knowing look on her face, a smirk spreading her lips as Y/N shook her head, smiling.
"Help me with dinner first, Kitty. But first, clean up and come down as soon as you're done. They're coming at 6:30 so we better hurry."
Katniss sighed and nodded, going up for a quick shower. Y/N was pretty bored as she cleaned the mess that her girlfriend had made so she decided to put on some music.
As Katniss walked down, done with her shower. She saw Y/N finishing up dinner and she was suddenly overcome with contentment. She truly loved Y/N, and she looked so darn cute in that apron and pretty dress. Katniss's mouth morphed into a huge smile.
She looked so pretty with her hair made and a nice dress on. But no matter what Y/N looked like, Katniss would always think she was the most gorgeous lady in the world.
Katniss walked over and put her hand on her cheek, planting a quick kiss on her lips. "You look so pretty, honey."
Y/N blushed, looking down. They've been together for years but Katniss still made her blush like a schoolgirl seeing her crush. "Thank you, Kitty."
As if on cue, Katniss and Y/N's song came. Ain't no mountain high enough' by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell started playing and Y/N started laughing at how perfect this moment was.
Katniss grabbed her hand, twirling Y/N making her laugh even more. Katniss started singing loudly as they danced in the kitchen.
Listen, baby Ain't no mountain high Ain't no valley low Ain't no river wide enough, baby
Katniss sang Marvin's part very passionately, Y/N was laughing at her girlfriend as she sang along with Tammi's. They started setting the table as they danced.
If you're ever in trouble I'll be there on the double Just send for me, oh baby, ha My love is alive (Hoo) Way down in my heart Although we are miles apart If you ever need a helping hand
Katniss grabbed Y/N's shoulders as they sung loudly together. As the song ended they both started laughing loudly, crashing into the dining table chairs, sighing contently. "I love you, Kitty."
It was Katniss' turn to blush. "Love you more, gorgeous."
They heard a knock at the door and Y/N quickly got up, fixing her dress and taking off her apron. Katniss watched in admiration. She looked back at her, "Do I look alright-"
"You look more than alright, babe, you look stunning." Katniss smiled and took her hand, walking to the door to greet Haymitch and Effie.

sparks fly / 2
wildest dreams. 3
kinda hating how i wrote the relationship between haymitch and reader ☹️
u guys i js realized but when im typing on mobile my capitalization is inconsistent n some paragraphs have capitalize first lettters and some dont 😭 sorry
Tumblr media
129. she had waved and blown kisses at 129 people so far, making eye contact and reaching her hand into theirs. everything had gone by so fast, she was holding onto haymitch as they got off the train, holding onto his arm.
the crowds had gone wild once they saw, haymitch himself slightly opposed to the public display but unable to shake the woman off his arm.
she loved it, loved having everyones eyes on her. loved the attention, loved the fame. it took forever to get to the stylist cars - much to haymitch and her district partner's annoyance.
haymitch had been careful to make sure not to show any favoritism to the girl, made sure he didn't get attached. he wanted her to survive, and he didn't want to break the poor girls spirit, but still - he didn't think she could live, tributes don't usually care for beauty and it wouldn't get her allies. she would have to prove she was smart, or strong, or anything that might be considered valuable in the arena.
as she and her district partner boarded separate cars, he went onto his own car - one for mentors.
in that car, she was with 4 people. one woman with gold braided into her hair, contrasting against her dark skin, with bright pink makeup and a bright blue dress - weird contrasts but still stunning on her and her skintone. this was her stylist, allium everstar. she had seen the woman on tv many times, as she was always assigned to district 12. the other 3 looked quite bizarre, a woman with fairy wings instead of ears, a man wearing a crop top and ankle length dress with dyed body hair and purple skin, and another woman whos hair was insanely long; split into 2 pigtails wrapping around her ankles, her skin was paper white and she seemed to be drawn in black and white, except for the gigantic golden necklace wrapped around her neck.
she heard them whispering among themselves, "this one is different ... unique! look at those eyes!", the man excitedly squealed to his team members.
she heard other fragments of conversation, little "she looks so different from them.. she could be a capitol girl!", "can't wait to see her all styled up..", "she would be gorgeous if she was pink!"
she looked out the window, still seeing people lined at the streets and waving at her, until they turned into a parking garage.
they all exited the car with peacekeepers joining them and leading them down the elevator.
she was getting sent even more deeper underground - into a room where there were bright white lights.
the team had led her into an odd bathroom, settling her into a bathtub. they stripped her of her clothing, leaving her bare in the cold air of the room.
the head stylist, allium took in her figure, looking at her up and down. she wrote something down onto a little notepad before leaving the room.
she was settled into the tub by the other 3, still unsure of their names.
the women scrubbed her body as the man prepared what seemed to be dye? was he gonna make her purple like him...
"oh dear god! rhuba! abernathy said not to mess with her hair!" exclaimed the woman, in all black.
"we're not cutting it, we'll just make her a little bit blonde .. i'm thinking a split dye, it'll be absolutely stunning on her!" the man named rhuba exclaimed, "don't always have to be so closeminded, volta.."
"we're gonna get in trouble!" the woman with fairy wings instead of ears snapped, "he specifically told us not to touch her hair!"
"i-its fine? i don't mind if you dye it like that .. just d-dont cut it!" y/n said, interrupting their little argument.
"oh dear .. your mentor is gonna kill us." sighed rhuba. "plus people probably wont like it like that, its not popular in the capital at all!"
"she said we could do it!" the man practically squealed, "how exciting! most tributes are so against us dying their hair!"
the two women just tsked, as they rinsed her of the soap and dried her off, they wrapped her in a towel and led her over to a metal bed.
"dear i'm just gonna wax you .. not sure i'm gonna need to though, bare as a baby.." said rhuba, "well! at least we have a tribute who actually takes care of herself this year, not sure why i'd expect less from someone who looks like her.."
"her nails seem ok too ... some color wouldn't hurt tho!" said the little elf looking woman, with the fairy wings instead of ears. she was buffing down her nails, just evening them out a little bit because otherwise she didn't need anything done.
"alright, so its just the hair!" the man said, as he moved himself to be able to access the womans hair.
"alright .. come over here.." he told her, leading her over to a chair. she had nothing but a robe on, and her body had already been examined and picked at her prep team. "it'll be done in just a second! only takes a few seconds to bleach your hair .. can't believe it used to take forever before!", he smiled as he coated half her head in the thick liquid, "...hey how about we add some tinsel extensions?"
"extensions?" she said, a little confused on why she would need the,.
"not just any extensions, hon! tinsel ones, they're like little reflective strips, it'll be totally gorgeous under the spotlight and we can have them match your makeup to it in the parade!" he laughed this, as he pulled out the extensions anyway. he rolled her chair over to the sink as he leaned her head back, washing out the bleach - leaving her with a head of half blonde and half black hair, it suited her but her hairstyle in general suited her beautifully.
he pulled out some weird hairdryer thing that fit over her whole head, and instantly dried out her hair.
once her hair was dried, he started adding the tinsel into her hair.
after about an hour, it was done. she had little holographic streaks coming out of her scalp and honestly, it was gorgeous.
"my makeup.." she asked, "who's gonna do my makeup?"
"oh dear that'll be allium! she's really good at it .. i'm sure she'll do you well!" he said, as he spun her to face him. looking her in the eyes, examining her hair and face .. "really gorgeous.."
"thank you.. and my clothes are decided by allium too right?" she said, a little bit worried.
"yep! she basically does everything except hair, waxing and nails, but she still had control over what we do with you .. now she might be a little mad about your hair.." he laughed again, as he pinched a lock of it. "but i'm sure it'll work well with however she dresses you!" , he gave her a reassuring smile.
she smiled back, as he sent her off to allium, peacekeepers greeting her as she walked out of the room and escorting her to the elevator. they went up 16 floors, up to the 2nd floor. the peacekeepers dragged her up to a door with her name on it, "y/n l/n" and then her stylist's name under it.
she walked into the room, it was like a dressing room - the vanity illuminating the clutter of makeup products on it, a rhinestone bodysuit on a mannequin. it was beautiful but it didn't cover much, the neckline of the suit high and up to the throat but it was sleeveless, and had a heart cut out over her chest area that would show cleavage and little red rhinestones around that heart making it seem like it was a bleeding heart. the sides were cut out, showing even more skin, the cut-outs were all lined with lace, and there was a little very sheer cape and "skirt" meant to cover her a little, the cape wouldve gone as far as her wrists, and the skirt didnt even reach 1/4 of her thigh, barely covering anything.
"oh you saw it .. was gonna make it a suprise for you! didn't expect you to be done so fast.." allium gushes, as she came out from a back room. "the bodysuit is one of a kind, and you're going to need to be stitched into it - it's held together by pins right now but its fine, the jewels are all little pieces of obsidian, the red stuff is rubies, theres also some absolutely gorgeous shoes to go with them! this isn't what i had planned at the beginning but then when i saw you at the reaping ... oh god you were stunning! wasn't sure how i would be ok with myself if i covered you with coal, we're still gonna go for that kind of makeup look though, smudgy eyeliner, freckles and a blood red lip! it'll be stunning on you .. your hair... jesus he butchered it! but no worries, it matches up.. we'll just use a lot of highlighter to make you look like a diamond!"
"you know .. back in the day some people actually used coal as liner i think! we could try that but im not sure how it'd look .. better not to risk it. now i need your help to pick what shoes and jewelry we'll have for you! nothing on the neck of course, its already covered by the suit but we need some bracelets, earrings and maybe an anklet?" she seemed insanely excited as she just kept talking, "we'll cover you in diamonds .. you've got to love that! come come!", she continues gushing as she gestured the girl over to a table where jewelry was displayed.
"i was just stunned by you ... these are all real, and all very expensive. i think this one and this one are the best," she pointed at 2 bracelets, but not bracelets, more like something to go on the upper area of your arm with diamonds spilling down to your wrist. more like a makeshift sleeve?
"those are really nice! could i have a ring? the heart shaped diamond one!" y/n asked, her voice a little squeaky from excitement - she loved all things beauty, makeup, skincare, clothing.
"of course! was thinking about giving you pearls but then i remember that 12 was a mining district, not sure how you'd get pearls there!" she smiled, happy that her tribute was sharing her admiration for clothing and all things beauty.
"now! shoes, you pick .. i think you'd stun in something that'll make you taller and goes up higher on the thigh..!" she pulled the girls arm, taking her to the shoe collection ..".. how about these! you better pick quick .. we only have 2 hours left and i'm not sure that'll be long enough for you to get your hair styled and your makeup done.."
"those are really nice!" she smiled, as she looked at the thigh high boots with pointed tips and red bottoms, covered in black velvet - luxurious.
"alright alright! now we'll have your makeup done, then ill style your hair a little, and then you can get dressed and meet up with your mentor and district partner for the tribute parade!" she said this, her voice getting louder as she clapped her hands and a squad of people came out. seating herself into the chair in front of the mirror, they wet her hair, and started her makeup.
it took around an hour for makeup, excessive makeup that would only look good from a distance. stage makeup, and it was gorgeous.
the smudged out eyeliner drawn out to give a "kohl" look to the girls eyes, the dark red lips lined with even darker lip liner and sharp corners - making her lips seem curled in a smile, her eyes standing out. her eyes were captivating, her entire look was sultry, dominating and seductive at the time - all things that she wasn't. and that would've worked out for her, in the interviews and everything. a woman forced to appear strong in her parade, a woman with a sharp eye and luscious lips, a sultry and seductive woman. a maneater, something that she wasn't and she knew how to work across it, "oh god my stylist just did that to me .. i swear i'm not actually like that!" and little smiles, kisses and looks that would melt anyone. the innocence that wasn't yet stained, something she would have to work to show off, she wasn't what she was dressed to be and it felt like a costume to her. but still, she wore the costume well and just for the night.
as her stylist re-entered the room, she practically squealed when she saw the girl.
"oh dear! this is exactly how i imagined everything .. you stun me!" she managed out, as she examined her face.
"thank you.. i feel really pretty right now!" y/n proclaimed, unsure what exactly she should say.
"honey! you are really pretty!" she laughed, "well now it's time to give you back to your mentor and stuff.."
"he's probably gonna have a stroke when he sees me like this." the girl jokes back, haymitch was probably going to look like hes having a stroke when he first sees her, his jaw dropping a little and eyes widening in shock as he would took in the figure - a figure she wasn't used to "rocking" like this.
as she was lost in her thoughts, allium was pulling her around and eventually into the elevator.
"im so excited!" she squealed, this was her first year after all - and she got to style one of the more gorgeous women she had ever seen..!
the girl still lost in her own thoughts just had a dreamy smile on her face, imagining what haymitch might think of her.
as she entered the room, there was exactly 26 minutes until the tribute parade.
"someone finally decided to show up.." her district partner grumbled this while scowling, haymitch was reclined back into the luxurious sofa with a drink in his hand. he had cleaned up quite a bit, he was wearing a suit. he looked amazing and the girl was definitely staring.
"jesus theyre gonna have a field day with you." he slurred a little, he was drunk. he sat up, looking at her with his full attention. he took in the bodysuit, it hugged her curves well, showing a lot of skin, his eyes lingered where they shouldn't have for a while as he looked her up and down - slightly shocked by what she was wearing.
she just laughed at his words, blushing a little because honestly, she wanted to be on the couch snuggled up into him. she wasn't sure why but she was always quite drawn to the man, he was attractive , rough and a little messy - but still, he had a nice face and a nice body (for an alcoholic at least).
she sat down next to him, still not very comfortable as her stylist followed and sat down next to her district partner, his stylist standing behind haymitch.
"alright so .. you two need to try and get along.. just for the parade." haymitch said, a little grumpy. "but if you don't want to do that because the idea of being nice to each other disgusts you that much, then make it as obvious as possible .. you" he said, pointing at basil, "you need to figure out how to market yourself, make yourself look good and make them like you. and you, ehh sweetheart, you seem to have this whole 'make everyone fall in love with me' thing under your belt."
this led to a smile from her, as she nodded. her district partner seemed less than pleased, asking "why do we even have to make them like us anyway? shes not even that likeable.."
"you have to make them like you so you can get sponsors, sponsors are the difference between life and death in the arena- if you're starving, then a sponsors gift of food might saved your life .. and knowing you, you'll probably be starving if you survive that long. and, she" he said this, gesturing to you, "she is likeable because she is pretty, people are going to look at her before hearing what she says and they're gonna decide if they wanna keep her alive or not, she is desireable in terms of looks and looks can get you everywhere when it comes to sponsors."
"they're gonna hate her after they figure out what her personalities like.." he scowled as he thought about her, the simple thought causing his troll-like features to contort in displeasure. haymitch let out a sigh, seeing how those 2 couldn't get along.
the woman seemed offended at his words, and as she was about to say something not very kind about her partner, the intercom interrupted her.
"Tributes, the parade is taking place in exactly 10 minutes! Make sure you head to your chariots now." a shrill voice said from the speakers.
The group of them got up as they headed over to the chariots, she wasn't present for when they all rewatched the reapinga so she hadn't seen any of the tributes before.
The girl and guy from one were both beautiful, with the boy reminding her a little of cupid. They were covered in gold, matching their shiny blonde hair.
The pair from two were a little more average looking, with a younger girl and older guy, the girl looked as if she had been crying - not something expected from a career district.
From 3, they were both tall and slim, nothing extraordinary.
The pair from 4, with a boy that was obviously a kid - he couldn't have been older than 14.
She kept watching the other tributes, and she noticed how the girl from one would occasionally reach for the boys hand, holding it and smiling at the comparison. How she would look up at him with loving eyes, a look of longing and regret that was only visible to the trained eye. She noticed how the boy from 2 would comfort the girl from 2, patting her head sometimes. She saw how the girl from 4 was always looking back at the girl from 5, she noticed how the boy from 4 would scan the crowds with anxiety in his eyes. How the girl from 5 was also always looking at the girl from 4, love in their eyes for each other. She noticed how horrible the pairing for the career districts were - a pair of lovers, 2 kids, a woman entangled in a queer love affair that was bigger than she was, and the only actual "career" looking tribute was the boy, but still - he would comfort the girl from two. if anything, all the careers from one and two would group together, and the boy from 4 but the boy from 4 would be the one they left out a little more, the disposable one. The girl from 4 would probably ally with the one from 5, running away from the cornucopia to live out their dying moments in the arms of their love.
The pair from 10 seemed strong, 10 was the livestock district - butchers. They knew their way with a knife, and they probably knew how to kill. They would make powerful allies, the only reason they lacked victors was because of their lack of sponsors, they were a district that was greatly overlooked in the games.
She looked at the hands of each tribute, paying particular attention to those of 4 and 8, the districts where knots were useful, 4 using fishing knots and 8 being the one of textiles and fabrics. The pair from 8 almost definitely knew their way when it came to knitting / tying / sewing, the boy was 4 had callused hands - probably from fishing. She knew that those 4 people were to be looked out for as they would know how to manage and craft traps. The girl from 4 wouldn't be a problem unless she found her lover, she would be easy to pick off during her love crazed and very desperate search for her girlfriend. And the girl from 5, would be even easier once the girl from 4 was gone..
She was quickly snapped out of her thoughts when Haymitch snapped his fingers in her face, "sweetheart, parades gonna start in a minute or so."
"sorry , was js thinking about something" she apologized, not trying to upset the man. she climbed into the chariot, as she waved a goodbye to the group.
She stood in the chariot, Haymitch's words stuck to her, or not his words but more his tone. He always seemed a little irritated with her, unless she was serving him liquor, he didn't really acknowledge her other than that. He didn't go over plans or advice with her, he just asked her to refill his drinks. She felt like the was dumbing her down, but he wasn't like this before the games. When she first met him, he was sweet. He was drunk but he saved her, and was still kind with her. She didn't understand the reason for his overall dismissal of her, always talking to basil about actual stuff instead of her.
The chariots started as Snow finished his speech, she wasn't sure she had it in her to smile and wave like she did before but she did anyway. The capital seemed to love her, screaming her name. She was showered with roses as they threw them over the stands, she caught one and smelled it, lifting it into the air and blowing a kiss in the direction it came from, even louder cheering emerged from the stands. She kept a smile on her face for most of the parade, but honestly - she was glad it was over.
She met back up with her district partner, mentor, and their escort.
"So! How did we do?" she said, as she smiled, excited.
"Crowd went absolutely insane when you did what you did with the rose! You're a natural in the spotlight!" her escort gushes, a smile on her face as she admired the girl. "Oh and your outfit! It was stunning ... I'm not sure how anyone could keep their hands off you!"
The tribute smiled at her, still a little upset with the idea of the games.
Once they got back to the building where they were going to spend the night, her prep team made quick work of her outfit - giving her her old clothes back and leaving her to remove her makeup by herself.
She went up the elevator, following the instructions of Allium, to go up to the 14th floor because that's where she was staying.
She walked in and saw Haymitch and her district partner, both by the coffee table and obviously discussing plans about the games.
They both looked up at her when she walked in.
"What are you guys doing?" She said, walking closer to them, her voice pleasant.
"Just discussing strategies for the games," Haymitch said, "..could join us if you'd like."
"She'd probably prefer to go play with her makeup or try on dresses.." sneered Basil, he knew she took an interest to those things and he mocked her for it. Haymitch honestly wasn't much better about it though, just sighing and ignoring Basil's words as he continues to discuss the plans.
She was a little hurt, but just said "maybe later, havw to go take a shower right now.", as she put on a smile and walked away to her room.
She didn't have much trouble finding her room, as they were all labeled. It was a beautiful room, decked out in pink and gold, unsure if they made special arrangements just for her, she walked into the bathroom.
As she explored, she found a cleansing balm and a whipped cleanser, which she used to remove her makeup. After that, she found a hair mask, and some scissors. So naturally, she decided to cut her hair. She was unsure if it was because of her newly dyed hair color or because she was unhappy with how the dya went, but it didn't matter because she picked up the scissors and snipped off a chunk. As she realized what she had doen, and how it was a very big and noticeable chunk, she gave up and kept cutting. Eventually she ended up with a medium length haircut, that cut off at her breasts, opposing to where he hair used to be - at her hips, that admittedly did fit her newly dyed hair pretty well, as did it frame her face. She brushed out any of the hair she cut out and applied the hair mask, putting on a shower cap and laying on her bed. She found what she thought was a tv remote and turned on the tv, she didn't find many shows or movies - the media allowed in Panem was mostly government broadcasts and talk shows. She ended up not watching tv and instead decided to paint her nails and take a quick nap.
She slept peacefully for almost 30 minutes, as her hair mask marinated. Once she realized it had been 30 minutes, she removed the shower cap and slipped into the shower. Scrubbing at her body as she relinquished all the bad thoughts and feelings of the day, erasing the dirt and sweat that stained her pretty body. She decided to take her time, she would exfoliate and shave and everything, made sure to be perfect by the end of it. As she rinsed off her soapy body, she reached for the body scrub, applying a lather of the sandy feeling liquid to her legs. She scrubbed for a little, exfoliating her legs as she picked up the razor, coating her legs in shaving foam, she glided the razor down, removing any hair that might've grown since the last time she did this. She repeated this process on her whole body, as she rinsed herself off and felt truly clean.
She exited the shower, engulfing herself into a soft robe, she felt truly at peace with herself at the moment. She looked through the contents of the skincare drawer in the room, finding sufficient products. She grabbed a piece of ice from the mini fridge in her room, rubbing it over her face, once she finished with that, she decided on a skin tightening toner and some rose water, which she applied to her face and neck. Afterwards, she layered a moisturizer over it, before finally adding some snail mucin to lock in moisture - a weird ingredient but common capitol beauty trend.
She patted her face as she applied a hydrating eyecream, before grabbing a hairdryer and drying her hair. Once she was sufficiently happy with how damp it was, she applied some hair oil, then grabbed a gua shua and ran it along her face. Once she finished with that, she picked up the hair dryer once again, this time fully drying out her hair. She grabbed a lash serum, applying some onto her eyelashes, and picking up a pair of tweezers, as she plucked her eyebrows into the perfect shape. The woman was high maintenance, she wasn't going to lie, but she loved it. Her little beauty rituals made her happy, made her beautiful.
As her hair was dried and she was happy with how she looked, she went into the closet they provided for her, and she picked out a pair of pajamas.
She had grabbed a satin babydoll top, lined with lace, and a pair of lacy underpants, that she put satin shorts of the same color over.
She ran her hands through her hair, adding a little bit of volume before exiting her own room, to join Haymitch and her district partner at the table.
They were still at the table but this time, Basil seemed to be yelling at Haymitch for something, with Haymitch being a little too drunk to care.
She made her way closer to them before hearing what Basil was so upset about, "you're literally a drunk why would i take advice from you" and other things, she didn't really plan on interfering except for maybe glaring at Basil a little more often, thst was until he grabbed Haymitch's drink and splashed it into his face.
The woman slammed a quick punch into Basil's face, letting out a "what the hell are you doing?"
"are you really gonna defend him, huh? hes a drunk! hes literally sending kids into an arena ever year judt for them to die!" basil said, delirious and mad.
"everyone has their problems and everyone has their way to cope for it. don't blame him for something out of his control." she hissed, as she bent over Haymitch, to help him wipe some of the alcohol off of him.
"he can control it but he just keeps ln fucking drinking - i don't even know how you can try to defend him ! he's gonna be the reason we die soon!" basil snapped, still upset.
"alcohol is not addictive," she said, wiping haymitch's jaw, "but alcohol is numbing, alcohol makes people forget. alcohol lets people escape the pain of their modern lives, it takes a while for it to develop into an addiction but getting addicted to alcohol is not something someone does for fun, alcoholics are people who have something to forget, something to hide from, something that is hurting them just to remember. alcohol is an easy way out that still lets them live, still lets them function. i promise you , just because he's an alcoholic doesnt mean he doesnt care, and it doesnt mean he doesnt fucking try." the tone of her voice was sharp, unpleasant and spearing at the moment, something abnormal for her, "if he didn't care and he didn't want to try, if he didn't have some hope for us, us as in the tributes, he would be fucking dead. sending kids into a death arena is something no one could enjoy, but if he didn't have a little bit of hope - that one of us could win, he wouldnt be here today. he was a kid too when he went into his arena, he survived and it scarred him, what he did scarred him and snows punishments scarred him. he's not a bad man for wanting to escape the horrors of his past, and hes not a bad man for being drunk while hes supposed to be helping us because at least hes still here and at least hes still trying. so you need to shut the fuck up and realize that everyone has their own problems and to stop bitching at every minor inconvenience." her tone indicated the end of a conversation, as basil walked over to his room, unable to argue with the woman, the sympathetic woman who always seemed to look into a situation more than she had to.
she leaned back down to haymitch who was watching her with sharp eyes now, questioning eyes, her little outburst wasn't something he expected. the little observations she made, the little assumptions, and how she had seen through his facade things that shocked him. he realized she looked at him with wide eyes and sympathy because she figured he was trying, still trying his best after the dozens of kids he watched die.
and at that moment he knew, he knew what she was. a people watcher, a sympathizer, a woman who knew how to wear everyone else's shoes, a woman who took nothing to heart because she trusted that whoever was delivering it had something going on for them, someone who could see through everything and still never tried to hurt them with the information she had gathered as she observed them.
she rested into his arms and caressed his jawline, her own attempt to comfort the man. she was sweet and beautiful, insanely likeable, and insanely marketable.

Hi!! I would love it if you could write hunger games age regression with Katniss as a little! I don’t mind the details maybe set during the victory tour in catching fire or during mockingjay? There’s absolutely no age regression fics for the hunger games and it’s my most recent hyper fixation so I’d really appreciate it but don’t feel pressured:))
Katniss as a little ♡
A/N: AHHHHH I'm sooo happy to write this!! Also I'm so sorry for being inactive but I'm slowly starting to catch on the requests anyway I hope you dont mind I made it headcanons, if you do just tell me and I'll try my best to write it as a one shot, hope you enjoy!
Warnings: none (I don't really think age regression needs a warning lol)
Just remember that this is how I see her, feel free to imagine her as you like
GIF not mine :)
Tumblr media
Katniss usually regress when she's too anxious or stressed, she's often with Peeta when it happens
At first Peeta was a bit confused but he understood quickly and soon he became her caregiver (I could write hours about him as a caregiver, but that's for another time)
I think Katniss is a really clingy little, like really clingy, I can totally see her hugging Peeta leg and not let go
So she's really cuddly too, like laying on the couch with her head on Peeta's lap as he strokes her hair
Obviously that's just with the people she feels safe, because as soon as her mom walks in she becomes really quiet and fidgety
But she can be really whiny, if things don't go her way she starts mumbling and make puppy dog eyes and poor Peeta who just tried to make her go to bed finds himself singing to her and telling her stories for at least another hour
She doesn't like sleeping due to her nightmares, that's why she whines a lot
I think Gale would help her with age regression too
Not as much to be called a caregiver, but quite a lot
Katniss often tries to convince him to give her piggy back rides around the house
And they just lay in the grass playing like princesses and drinking tea, sometimes even convincing Effy and Haymitch to join their playdates
Gale and Haymitch are forced to dress up. Because they are princesses.
Another think Katniss does is laying between Gale and Peeta while they cuddle her and try to make her fall asleep
That's the only occasion when they don't argue
Basically she's just a big big cutie, just like all little <333333
Im sorry that it's short :')
Haters back off
Stay safe my lovely people <3

im gonna be perfectly honest, i started reading moves and countermoves because i speed-read the description and assumed it was a heavensbee blood relative/plutarch - related fic because i remembered moves and countermoves as being a line said by Plutarch? Idk. (weird ik..anywayss-) and now i have been pleasantly surprised by how much I love it regardless. thank you for getting me into haymitch related-fics and your beautiful writing that kinda makes me wanna cry sometimes. :))
-a fan <3
I love that you accidentally got sucked in by the Plutarch reference (the series is absolutely named after that line from catching fire.) I’m so happy you ended up enjoying it, even though it wasn’t what you originally thought! Thank you so much for the kind words, I hope you continue to enjoy the series and the wonderful world of Haymitch related fics 💜

hi! first of all your thg takes are SO GOOD i love them. second of all i’m writing an indulgent screenplay for a fake thg web series and i wanted to know what you thought abt how to integrate katniss’ pov into screen format bc it’s so crucial to the story. unexplained voiceover felt kinda cheesy, i was thinking creating letters katniss writes throughout the series but that sounds equally cheesy. no pressure to respond! just wondering if you had thoughts. thanks!! have a good day
oh interesting question! it's honestly hard to answer for me because i'm not really a student of film (i am just a hater of the hunger games films) and as much as i complain about the movies not adapting thg well, it is probably true that voice-over would have been cheesy (my movie criticisms are more with what was cut or changed, like while i miss katniss' narration in the books WHOLEHEARTEDLY in the films, i don't necesarily think voice-over would have solved my issues with the movies -- and i still think jlaw was poorly directed in a lot of the scenes. or just no one on set understood katniss) (really not many people actually do understand katniss but whatever that's for another time) (SHES COMPLEX OKAY)
i mean one way that i would personally change the movies is to cut the capitol scene that opens the first film -- i think it devalues katniss' perspective as THE perspective we are meant to view the world through, and i have never liked how the first film opens with the capitol, because i feel like it puts us in the capitol's world from the start rather than katniss' -- instead of finding her reaching out to prim in bed and finding her missing (the literal thematic core of the series), we open with like an awkward capitol talk show. i think this has huge implications for how we perceive this world and how we understand our first introduction to katniss as a character, and i don't like it! (i've said before that if i thought the movies were going for a cool meta-commentary on how our place as moviegoers is more akin to the capitolites than it is to katniss, i wouldn't mind it so much, but i just don't think the movies were that smart.)
one thing i guess (?) you could do would be to incorporate more flashbacks? like a lot of katniss' narration is stuff that she's learned from talking to her father, or talking to gale, or talking to prim, and i feel like that would be a more effective exposition dump in order to focus on her? and not exposition dump in the same way that she and gale have that awkward stilted conversation at the beginning of the first movie, but like what if there was a flashback to her father explaining how the reaping works to child-katniss, and another one of gale ranting in the woods about the divisions between town and seam, or a scene with katniss explaining things to prim that she explains to the reader via her narration in the books. and you could also make the bread scene flashback like, <3 actually make sense <3, because in the movie its just some weird shaky cam shots. but i don't know -- i don't know how well that would work on screen honestly or how to utilize something like that effectively.
but yeah honestly i don't really have any more coherent thoughts than that, i know ive spent a long time dunking on the movies but i don't EXACTLY know how they could have done it better POV wise, other than cutting a lot of the snow/capitol/haymitch scenes that they show during the games (but that's just my personal opinion because i think they take you out of the games and out of katniss' limited pov, and i don't like that we get familiar with snow in the first movie because i think it's better to have him EVOLVE from a faceless villain to a real person as the books go on. and i think the haymitch scenes are just <3 shitty <3)
idk!!! if other people have thoughts please share via my ask or in the comments!! im curious what other people think

651. mmmmmyelle asked:
hii, happy new year, I love your blog 💝 if you could help me, im looking for a story, i remember a lot of details. in it katnisss was originally from another district but moved to 12 in high school, she was a delinquent and got arrested a couple times, she and peeta went on a date and ended up spending the night in the woods (in a cave) during a storm (I think someone was harassing them/her), katniss got her bangs cut after tangling them on the cell bars while in jail, she and peeta end up pregnant, while pregnant she gets mad at him for not being present when he's actually planning a proposal for her. this is all I can remember about the story, they were of course ooc but it was set in panem, no games. THANK YOU SO MUCH
652. rucasspobyeverlarktrash asked:
hello!!I don’t remember much about this story other than the fact peeta’s mom gets REALLY mad at him and ends up locking him in the basement of the bakery for some time, and I think he ends up eating flour?? anyways I don’t remember much more than that but hopefully it’s enough 🥴
653. broken-everlark asked:
Hi! I can't remember what fic it was but it has a few chapters in it all I can remember is when peeta joins the star squad and both gale & katniss kinda treat him as if he's a mutt, gale more than katniss but she is distant. I think it's in peetas point of view or maybe katniss' I can't remember 😅 sorry. Love the page!❤💙
654. yoaticas asked:
Hi! I’ve been trying to find a fic for AGES but haven’t been able to and was hoping you could help.It was an Everlark fic on ao3 with them about to become mentors. Snow told Katniss she would be forced to prostitution, but I don’t think she’d told Peeta yet. There was a scene where Katniss remembered thinking Finnick was a playboy because in every interview there was always a woman on his arm, but she was now realizing they were using him. I think the plot was going to be them getting out of it? I also remember there being a scene where Katniss, Peeta, and prim where walking down a road together but that’s it. I had just started it so I have very little info. I checked the master list, but couldn’t find it. Any help would be so appreciated, thank you!
655. wecouldhavehadjainainthesequels asked:
Hey!  Not sure if this fic description is too vague but I thought I'd try.  It's a canon compliant fic where they are either engaged or get married, but Peeta thought that the whole thing was fake on Katniss's side even through the war.  When he returns to 12, Haymitch tells him that Katniss does love him and tells Peeta that Haymitch found Katniss sleeping in Peeta's bed and clothes left in the house?  Would love to find it again!
656. mlsan73 asked:
I am looking for a fanfic wherein Katniss and Peeta had a secret wedding and she was really pregnant in Catching Fire. The things i remember was that when Peeta was rescued, he thought the pregnancy was fake and that was when Katniss gave birth to a girl (i am not really sure). Peeta is still kinda hostile to Katniss but he is very loving to the baby. Thank you in advanced.
657. craftydiva0828 asked:
I'm searching for a fic where Katniss is from a hunting clan and Peeta is from a farming clan (they live in a valley?) and they have to ban together to fight Snow who is taking over their lands.  Peeta's tribe have horses which Katniss admires.  Any ideas?  Thanks!
658. lex-ray24 asked:
Prob a long shot but i can't find it. Does anyone know of the fic that mrs. everdeen gives katniss sleep syrup to help her sleep but then she can't wake up from her night mare so mrs. everdeen has to get peeta to wake katniss up?
FOUND! This happens in chapter 7 of I'll Be Right Beside You by theatricalveggie. (Thank you, @sunsetsrmydreams!)
659. justaskingaficquestion asked:
Do you know of the fic where Katniss and Peeta (it's a modern au) are watching either football or soccer and everytime someone scores they have sex?
FOUND! Three and Out by hutchabelle (Thank you, @endlessnightlock for finding it and @katnissdoesnotfollowback for leading us on the right track!)
660. withbeautyandrage asked:
hey! i remember this fic i read a long while back- post mj and katniss was in a depressive episode on proms b day, and she can hear her daughter calling for her as peeta tells her that katniss isn’t feeling well.
661. weepingmilkshakesandwich asked:
Any fics where P and K are training in district 13 together, and they're wrestling as part of the training and there's a lot of tension? And I think Johanna or one of the Leegs comments on it
FOUND! This happens in chapter 6 of Random Reality Shifts by wakebytheriver (Thank you, @sunsetsrmydreams!)
662. kohakuchan94 asked:
I'm looking for a fic I haven't read in a while. I remember it taking place at a sports meet where both Peeta & Katniss are athletes. I remember Peeta being a wrestler? They are in a "secret" relationship that eventually goes public. They were from different schools... That's all I can remember.
FOUND! The Lies That Bind Us by katnissdoesnotfollowback (Thank you, @bellairestrella and @katnissdoesnotfollowback!)
663. mariba2000 asked:
Hello!! There's this fanfiction where the 75th hunger games happens except Haymitch goes in it. This fic was much darker than in canon. Johanna had a son in the Capitol and Haymitch loses a finger in the Quell. I think it was on ao3. Another thing that I remember is that Katniss was pregnant in it, because her and Peeta already fell in love before. Help me find it, please!
664. everlurked asked:
I had read a fic : peeta breaks down after returning earlier to District 12 post rebellion. Katniss takes care of him. Gale comes to district 12 with family  to take   her  back with him.  She refuses to go with him 
Do any of these fics ring a bell? Please let us know!

dc comics? :3 maybe just gotham characters to narrow the scope
oh gd okay. um.
joker still hasn’t shown up yet but i know the most about him. which is still pretty limited because shit is so fucking varied. basically theres this guy whos insane and then this doctor is like i could fix him and hes like i cuold make her worse and then he manipulates her or something they break out of the asylum. yay. 
joker hates batman. whois bruce wayne whos parents were killed in a random event walking down an alley. i think they tried to fight back not in gotham and it esclated. regardless brucey survived and now he’s a billionaire. he’s dating the catwoman chick selina kyle and i dont think he knows that she’s like catwoman. or maybe he does. i think they’re dating normally and as batman/catwoman. maybe?
batman fights crimes or whatever? he’s a vigilante. he’s like really serious or whatever. he uses his billonaire money to finance this and has a butler who’s british and i dont know why hes british or a butler, because they are in fantasy new jersey. he never kills the guys that are around or wahtever. hes 12 in gotham btw.
oswald cobblepot talks so weird and  i dont  think hes remotely like he is in gotham at all in other canons? he’s a snazzy little small business owner by the name of teh penguin. he runs this place called the iceberg lounge.
the riddler is ed nygma and he’s literally just silly. he’s like what if jigsaw didn’t kill that much ithink. he loves puzzles. i thinkthis is the one you kin? he’s probably kissing harvey dent. in gotham he’s such a little autistic man. i think basil of bitd fame would also kin him honestly.
harvey dent is a district attorney and he also becomes two face. i  have seen the dark knight exactly 0 times while completely sober but i think h e was laying in gasoline because the joker is a cunt. i thikn he stops being a DA after he becomes evil. he likes flipping coins a lot and i think hes kinda a pretentious jokesboy. i think he’s alpha coupling this chick named glynda or soemthing?
fish doesnt exist outside of gotham but she’s fucking harvey bullcok who is like, really fucking despised by everyone ever in every other media property. he acts like haymitch though in gotham. he’s jim gordon’s partner. jim gordon is this police guy? i don’t know. its weird, ok? i think he’s the police chievf maybe? he’s friends with batman and doesn’t want him to get caught. or maybe he does. he’sn ot really good at it regardless though.
then there’s firefly and drury, who are making out. you wrote a screenplay for those guys! they’re not in gotham, but i thought maybe i would mention thme. there’s also punchline who i want to make out with and my friend of cassander kins. ummm. and jason todd who i think is really hot. he gets blown up, and then he lives through that, and everyones like wtf when he’s kinda pissed off that bruce lets him get killed and won’t kill the joker. 
there’s dinah lance who is black canary. also . she sings and then that makes everything explode >:)
roman sionis IS in gotham. he’s pretty funny in there and hasn’t done anything atrocious yet. he’s kind of ugly though. his thing is collecting old war time artifacts and he wears this mask - hes called the black mask, because the mask is black. it kinda looks like the guy from squidgame’s mask, you know the one? he’s a real shithead in birds of prey though. he’s an affably evil CEO and he cuts off peoples faces.
i wish the joker was in gotham. i hope hes like poor little meow meow able im getting kind of sick of watching the ssame btas episodes

! write with me or fight with me!
you either die by my sword or the most painful head canons imaginable! *merida vc* choose yer fate
just kidding!
 hey there gaymers, i am crissy! i am 22, live in pst, go by she/her pronouns and honestly would very much like a distraction from life -- preferably in the form of 1x1 and rp in general. i am currently doing online school plus trying/failing at adulting, being a crazy pink haired college student living on microwave dimsum with my crazy fluffy demon cat, but that still leaves me with a lot of time and what better way to spend that time then crying and dying, am i right, boys? 
so without further ado ( adieu? idk gusundheit ) here are a list of discomboblulated plot things that have been floating around in my head that i might be fun to do ( plot fragments, ideas, ocs, fcs i like, settings, genres etc )! i’d prefer a message if u liked any of these in the inbox or dm form, my tumblr ims are open and my discord user is mr. worldwide#2918 ( pitbull supremacy ) but if ur shy i will message u and be annoying!

thank u and happy hunger games! xx

COLLEGE TOTALLY SPIES -- i was really obsessed with this picture right here and i thought that the picture would be a good premise for a little four person group based on totally spies. i was thinking that these three college students/young adults some friends maybe not some enemies or just on completely different ends of the social agenda get bonded together when they accidentally end up roped in a top secret spy organization that is fronted by a record store. the details and flesh of the plot i think would be cute to figure out all together maybe in a google doc or a big discord so we can make the rp to perfect world building specifications. right now i have two spots open!

the sweet nothing. 4
trigger warning for this chapter is basically reader getting upset w her face and has a whole mental breakdown where she get violent towards herself and its a little very graphic
i loved this fic when i started writing it but now im kinda hating how im writing it out 😭
Tumblr media
she rolled out of her glamorous, luxurious bed, memories of last night flooding her mind.
she and haymitch didn't do anything, she wasn't sure if she would want to do any with him if she got the opportunity anyway.
he was drunk out of his mind, she doubted he would remember anything she said that night either way.
she slipped downstairs, still wearing her clothes from the previous night, her hair a little tussled and her as an entirety looked like a mess. a beautiful mess.
it was 8 in the morning but she was excited, today was her first training and she couldn't keep the anxiety out of her veins - what would she do? she's not strong, she can't keep up with the bigger tributes who could probably snap her in half effortlessly.
she once again, stole the job from an avox and prepared the table, silently helping them set the food.
her escort was the first to wake, as she saw the tribute doing an avox's job, "oh dear! you don't need to do that .. an avox will!", she explained, assuming the girl didn't know.
"oh no, i just wanted to do it .. kinda helps me clear my mind in a way." she told her escort, with a smile on her face. "they made fresh croissants! did you know they do that? they smell sooo good!", the tribute gushed.
"oh dear yes .. i avoid those though. a lot of butter, not good for the figure.." her escort muttered, a little shocked her tribute was doing chores.
"how'd you sleep?", the girl asked, attempting to continue the conversation with her already glamourized escort.
"oh i slept well! i always sleep well, capital beds are amazing." the escort replied, as she pulled out a compact mirror and fixed up her makeup.
"come sit!" the girl gestured, as she finished setting the table.
"dear i really don't think you should be doing this stuff .. it's an avox's job after all." her escort whispered, trying to make sure the avoxes didnt hear.
"oh what happened to them anyway? they choose to work here right?, the girl asked, oblivious to the conditions of an avox.
"um well no, avoxes are people from the districts who disobeyed rules/laws, so they got their tongues cut off. its quite gruesome really, but they help serve us with stuff." the escort replied, shocking the girl a little.
before she could reply, her district partner walked into the kitchen, he probably couldn't sleep, just like her.
"our training's at 9, and lasts until 3," she told him, having memorized the schedule they were given. "we have an hour to eat, i'm gonna go see where haymitch is."
basil rolled her eyes at this, scoffing out a "do you have a crush on him or something".
she ignored his statement and just continued to haymitch's room.
once she got there, she knocked a few times, then just entered.
in the room, she found her mentor wasted on the bed, a bottle in his hand, his vomit covered shirt on the floor, and the stench of the expensive capitol liquor lingering.
"jesus.." she whispered, as she navigated her way deeper into the room.
she knew the man was a mess, but not this much of a mess, there were a few broken bottles on the floor, making it unsafe to walk barefooted, she felt horrible for the man - he probably kept drinking after she left him to go to sleep last night.
she neared his bed and tapped on his shoulder, calling his name, when he didn't wake, she shook his body a little bit.
when he did wake up, he swung a bottle that barely missed her head and shattered on the wall, causing her to yelp out.
"um! i'm sorry for waking you i guess!" she said, as she backed off the bed, out of his reach.
the fear on his face, as tears welled in his eyes as he realized what he just tried to do.
"shit.. sweetheart." he mumbled, before he sat up, "i didn't mean-", was all he managed to slur out as he planted his bare feet onto the floor full of shattered liquor bottles carelessly, as he cursed loudly and fell back onto the bed.
"haymitch!" she hissed, as she realized what he did, blood dripping from his feet. she ran into the bathroom and grabbed a wet cloth, turning on the lights of the dark room in the process. as she got back, she saw him lying there a little hopelessly, bleeding and drinking from the bottle he had in his hand.
"it's gonna hurt a little, but if it hurts too much tell me because then that means there glass in your foot.." she told him, as she crouched down to examine it. dabbing at the blood with the wet rag, thankfully there actually was no glass in his foot.
"'m so sorry sweetheart .. shouldn't have drinken so much, t's you're training ... 'm a horrible mentor.." he managed out, as she heard his tears a little. he was definitely drunk out of his mind.
"dont worry about it! we're just gonna like train right? like it'll be a little gym full of weapons .. not that hard to navigate!" she told him, in an attempt to reassure him, as she cleaned the cuts on his foot. "i'm not sure you're gonna be able to walk okay for a bit .. if there any sharp piercing pains tell me because then that means theres glass in your food."
haymitch was sat up now, his hand carressing her cheek, "not just the training though .. haven't helped you with anything, haven't taught you the first thing about survivin' in that arena." he, said that in barely a whisper, regret tainting his voice. "haven't been a good mentor to anyone for a while.."
"oh haymitch! it's fine, you did what you could, and it didn't work, it's not your fault these games exist - they were kids, and they shouldn't have been expected to be able to kill." she told him, trying to assure him, his eyes clouded and wide. her district partners words last night clearly got to him, his attempt to smash a bottle over her head probably not helping his peace of mind either.
"please haymitch .. don't worry about it, come down to breakfast? ill get you some slippers so you can walk in the glass, and some water so you can rehydrate. i'll ask someone to come clean your room and if you dont trust them to then i can do it later tonight, is that okay with you?" she whispered, as she stood up and looked down at the sad man. "i'm gonna go find some of that capital instaheal stuff and get you some water and slippers right now, and then we can walk down to breakfast together?"
he hesitated, a sad look still in his eyes, but unwilling to turn down the woman who was trying to help him. she took him not objecting as a yes, so she gave him a hug and went on her way to find him the stuff.
once she returned to his room, she found him lying down again, his arm over his head.
she made her way back over to him, shaking him awake again.
when he moved his arm down, she finally got a clear look at his face that day. little claw marks on his cheek from his own hand, bags and dark circles under his eyes, his haunted blue eyes, his face carrying more weight than she could see before.
he sat up when he saw her, she passed him the water and applied the instaheal ointment, bandaging his food and then helping him put on his slippers, him not even expecting himself to be this vulnerable - especially with a woman whom he barely knows.
"the ointment should take a while to work .. i can help you walk right now, though!" she told him, "you have to eat .. especially after drinking so much! i remember once i took a shot of fireball and i didn't eat for a bit and i ended up in the icu, and i don't want that to happen to you.. just finish your water right now and then we can go back down to breakfast, we only have 30 minutes to eat."
"don't have to baby me.." he grumbled, the only reply she gave him was a gentle touch on his shoulder as she moved closer to examine the marks on the disgruntled man's face.
"drink your water faster so you have time to eat and then shower too, you smell." she told him, not letting the "smell" repel her.
"i smell, so why are you still so insistent on being close to me, sweetheart?" he teased, regaining a bit of the ego of his previous self.
she just laughed, "looking at your handsome face is soo much more important to me than avoiding the smell of alcohol!", she joked, as she winked at him.
he chuckled before finishing his water, and she straightened up to help him down to breakfast.
"can walk by myself, hon", he told her as she grabbed his arm.
"still wanna hold your arm!" she replied, excitedly. "i'm so excited for the training today, and kind of scared but also so excited! can't wait to meet everyone! i was too late at the parade to talk to anyone."
they kept walking together, with her talking and haymitch listening keenly to what she was saying while she was clinging to his arm.
eventually they did make it to the table, and her escort was the first to notice them, letting out a "oh dear! you were gone forever, was about to go check on you!"
"oh no! i was totally fine, vanity! i was just helping him clean up a little." she replied, as she sat down at her previous spot, directly across from haymitch.
"helping him 'clean' up" her district partner mocked, much to her annoyance.
she just ignored him, the implications of his words something not worth dealing with.
"i'm gonna go change into something practical and get ready for training." she told them this, as she dismissed herself - having not sat down for even 2 minutes.
she stood up and almost made it out of the room before their resident alcoholic rang out a, "have you eaten?"
she turned her head sharply and asked a, "what?"
"have you eaten? lately? after you got reaped?" he clarified, noticing that she was skipping meals wasn't an observation she expected him to make.
"yes , of course i have" she told him, her tone sharp and dismissive of the conversation - something that wasn't common for her.
"and what have you eaten exactly, dear?" her escort asked, the question haymitch brought up something concerning to her.
"some ham and fruit,", she lied, she hadn't eaten.
"only? oh dear ! you're going to pass out the moment you try to lift something during your training .. come eat!" her escort exclaimed, waving the girl over.
"i'm not hungry," she told them, dismissing their worries.
she walked out of the room, ignoring them as she heard basil proclaim something along the lines of "told you she was anorexic".
her irritation quickly faded, as she walked into her room, sitting at her vanity.
she opened the drawer, trying to find cosmetic products - and that was exactly what she found.
she picked out a concealor in her shade, a sunscreen to go under it, and used the moisturizer from the day before under both of those products.
as she spot concealed and layered on the skincare, she found a lip tint that she proceeded to use on her lips, leaving them a lighter red, then she applied some waterproof mascara before drawing on a small wing with kohl eyeliner, smudging it out a little to blend better in her eye, and then adding some highlighter on her nose and inner corners.
once she finished that, she put on her training uniform.
she soon exited her room, with 5 minutes left to get to the training area.
haymitch, vanity and basil were already waiting for her, apparently she took forever.
"well! guess who finally showed up," haymitch grumbled, as she appeared.
"..didn't even take that long." she mumbled, a little annoyed back at him - she didn't really like how she looked that day.
"well .. the elevator goes straight down to the training center so we have time to .. chat?" vanity said, not necessarily understand the aura of the room.
"alright, how are you two going to try and market yourselves? any ideas?", haymitch said, sipping from his drink.
"not 'you two', i wanna be apart from him", she grumbled with an uncharacteristic frown.
"don't wanna be with you either", he snapped, with a glare.
she rolled her eyes, clearly not in a good mood - heavily contrasting with how she was before breakfast, when she was nothing but sweet.
haymitch just grunted as he leaned back, continuing to drink, not necessarily wanting to deal with the pair at the moment.
they sat in silence for a little bit, before she saw her reflection in a crystal bottle. her face obviously a little distorted, but still the image distressed her.
"ugh!" she hissed, as she threw the bottle on the floor, shattering it and storming away.
she left all 3 of them confused with her sudden upsetness, as they all exchanged looks - or not all, just vanity looking up with a look of concern and confusion, and haymitch continuing to drink, basil irritated.
"she's probably just on her period or something", basil mumbled, "women are so sensitive."
this led to haymitch glaring at the man, shutting him up quickly from starting his rant again.
"someones gotta go get her for training", he grumped, as he checked the watch on his wrist.
basil didn't acknowledge that, he didn't care about the woman.
vanity would've but she didn't handle mean people and criticisms well, and didn't know the girl well either.
haymitch groaned, rolling his eyes and mumbling something under his breath, as he realized neither of them were going to go get her - and if she missed the first training, she would have to face many consequences.
as he opened her door to walk in, he was met with a mirror flying at his head, shattering on the wall behind him.
the woman letting out another angry remark, her vanity shattered and her hands bloody. her arms were scratched up, clawed by herself. makeup splattered on the floor, and mascara running down her face.
"jesus sweetheart," he mumbled, as he neared the woman.
"stop it! go away!" she screamed, her voice breaking and tears streaming. her arms crossed and her nails clearly breaking skin as they raked against the soft skin of her lower arm.
"well, i would love to get away from-" he waved his arm around the room, waved his arm at the woman, "whatever this is, but, not sure if you're aware, if you don't show up to the first training, they'll drag you out there anyway," his words didn't seem to convince the woman who waited for him to elaborate, " and that, is a very embarrassing thing. peacekeepers aren't gentle men."
"i dont care", she hissed as she looked at her reflection in a shard of glass she had broken, before apparently not liking what she saw, and throwing it at the wall, causing it to break into a million pieces. she picked up another shard, trying to see if the image in it was different, and it wasn't, this time - instead of throwing it against the wall, she slammed the shard into her thigh, breaking the cloth and sinking in deep.
the pain didn't seem to phase her, if anything, it just annoyed her more, causing her to remove the shard and throw the bloodied piece at the wall. her anger still apparently as she raged in the room, when her body forcibly gave out on her, and she was forced to lean over the counter, where there were even more pieces of her mirror, she slammed her face into them, repeatedly.
once haymitch recovered from the shock of what she was doing to herself, he grabbed her, pulling her arms back and restraining her, lifting her upper body up out of the shards of a broken mirror.
he repeatedly told her to "stop it" as she fought him, her blood getting everywhere.
she clawed at his chest, fighting the man who was trying to keep her from hurting herself, as he pushed her onto the bleed - her face cut up and bleeding, same as her thigh.
she kicked and she punched and she fought, trying to be let go out of the suprisingly strong alcoholics arms.
her blood and anger on her face as he pinned her down, forcing her to stop fighting.
"what the hell is wrong with you?" he growled, pushing her down.
she just cried, refusing to answer, as her blood mixed with her tears,
she kicked from under him, not really hitting anything as he was practically on top of her.
"you're gonna go into the fucking games like this?" he snarled, examining her face, seeing how she had stained the pink sheets a bright crimson red.
he didn't understand what triggered her, he couldn't tell why she got so upset and started smashing mirrors - or why she starting hurting herself.
as she calmed down, and stopped fighting him, resorting to just sobbing instead, and he figured she was ok, no longer a danger to herself anymore, as he let her go.
he mumbled out a "stupid woman" before letting her go.
"i'm not!" she told him, her voice breaking.
"what?" he questioned, looking down at her.
"stupid! i'm not stupid!", her words barely making it out over her tears.
"well you bashed your fucking face into glass.." he told her.
"so? why does my face matter? why does it matter?" she screamed at him, her anger and rage having built up over the years, "why does my face matter so much?"
she wanted to hear him say it, she wanted to hear him tell her that she was nothing except her face, nothing but pretty.
he hesitated with his words, unsure of what to say.
"your face.." he couldn't seem to be able to think of what to say, as he looked at her, he couldn't find the words. he couldn't bring himself to tell the girl that her face was what people liked about her, that her face was her whole thing, but he knew she knew. he was at a loss of what to say, he didn't know her - not personally. he knew her face, he knew nothing about her but he knew she was beautiful. "is the first thing people see, they judge you on it when they first meet you."
a mediocre response, that didn't seem like something he would say, a response that didn't help.
"and its all they see. my face. i'm nothing else to everyone, i'm just a pretty girl with a pretty body. you know that right? everyone tells me "oh youre so pretty!" but no one says anything meaningful, no one tells me that im funny or smart or nice or anything, i'm nothing if i'm not pretty" she hissed, as he realized why she was so upset.
"then why did you do that to your face?" he said, his tone lighter as he examined just how extensive the damage was - nothing much, just a few cuts on her face that were bleeding.
"because im ugly."
confusion was evident on his face, the drunk not taking this whole dilemma lightly.
"i was ugly! my nose was a little too big and my lips were a little too small and oh my god my eyeliner looked so bad, and i wasn't even wearing that much makeup but i still looked like a total cakeface! i looked disgusting!" she told him, her tears still streaming down her face. "and i was trying to fix it at first but then it just got worse and i started getting uglier."
before haymitch could reply, peacekeepers entered her room.
their guns strapped to their belts, as they stood there menacingly. needing to know why she wasn't at training, especially the first one.
haymitch was quicker to think than the crying woman was, telling them she was injured.
he showed them her thigh, still bleeding as the older one questioned why she wasn't in the infirmary, to which haymitch answered that the injury just happened in her rush to get ready, where she tripped onto her chair and fell into her vanity, shattering the mirror.
they transported the woman to the infirmary, where haymitch followed.
once they were alone, she asked, "why did you lie?"
and he told her, "if they figured it out - figured out you weren't eating, or did that to yourself -, they would put you in rehab. keep you out of training and out of contact with everyone while they forcefeed you through a tube and put you in 'therapy' with a capital therapist. they would deem you unstable and a danger to yourself, might even put you in a straitjacket.", he was a drunk but still he could think, and he thought quickly.
"the capital medicine should be able to heal you up well in less than a week, still before the games, don't do that to yourself again, cant have you go in injured," haymitch whispered, "promise me you won't do something like that again. if you're upset, come to me and please try to eat something."
"pinky promise i won't" she whispered back, sticking up her pinky finger. he did pinky promise with her that she wouldn't - no matter how silly it might've seemed.
