you know, i don't see why people always seem to take johanna mason at face value. i've read so many fics where she knows she's going to win basically from the reaping. and there's nothing wrong with that take on the character, of course, but i find it odd how few people do anything else with her.

like. she was a teenage girl from an outlying district. district seven, by the quell, has no other living female victors. none. which means they probably didn't during johanna's games either, and if they did, she was most likely elderly. those are fucking intimidating odds. johanna wasn't a volunteer. she didn't wake up that morning particularly expecting to be reaped, she had practically no time to prepare for it. she was probably already malnourished.

if i, personally, were in a situation like that, i'd probably cry at the reaping. i'd probably be a little reticent in my interview. i'd probably focus on running and hiding in the arena. i'd be terrified. anyone would be.

and then, if i hit an eleventh hour, got sick of the running and hiding, stopped caring about my own safety quite so much, and stood up and found a weapon i knew how to use and somehow fucking won.

yeah. i'd probably tell people i planned it like that from the beginning too. i never really thought i was going to die. all that crying for my family was totally just an act. i was secretly an ax-murdering badass the whole time. i always knew i had the capacity for murder. haha. aren't i clever?

They curled around each other and traded sticky sweet kisses, the zing of citrus clinging to their fingers, perfuming the air. Finnick would frequently joke with Annie that the oranges from the tree on her lawn tasted far better than the ones from his, which is why he came over so much.

absolutely Obsessed with this finnick & annie commission done by the talented @charlunday !! they took my idea and ran with it so thoughtfully and beautifully ( the flanagan pattern on finnick’s sweater?? their gold earrings?? annie’s perfectly arched dancer feet???? ) i am in love 💕 everyone should run to commission them!

[imasradiantasthesun]

mark my words. I will be the first to give haymitch and mrs undersee an official ship name.

him and the girlfriend? who cares. him and anyone else people are bound to ship him with (oddsmaker boy, probably, possibly mr everdeen)? meh.

there’s like… 7 fics of them on ao3, both romantic and platonic, and I’ve written 5 of them. I’m the captain of the ship right now. I’d like to clock haymitch/mrs everdeen, too, but there’s a few more people in that community and I don’t write for them all that prominently (though I want to).

but haymitch and mrs undersee? mine.

[imasradiantasthesun]

idk something doesn’t quite sit right with me with the common headcanon that finnick and mags overplayed annie’s condition to help protect her and discourage the capitol from focusing on her. i’m not trying to start any sort of arguments or debate rn just thinking out loud bc like. what if it isn’t being overplayed. can’t we have a very visibly mentally ill woman. annie dissociates and cries in public and laughs at strange moments and physically reacts to her flashbacks by closing her eyes and covering her ears, all in public, all even in front of people she doesn’t know personally, and i think that should just. be ok with the fandom. while it’s a sweet mentality and i can see why people believe it, there shouldn’t have to be some ulterior motive behind any of her actions or how she portrays herself.

also. we as readers learn more about the victors at the same time as katniss, essentially providing us with how victors are seen in the eyes of the audience vs how they really are without the cameras. and in that earlier perspective, there are victors who are visibly affected by their trauma: haymitch and chaff drink, and the victors from d6 use morphling, and annie is “insane.” we learn later that they’re all broken, both bc katniss gets closer to them but also bc they go through even more trauma: finnick is barely holding on in d13 before annie’s rescue, and johanna is angry not just bc that’s her personality but also bc she’s in so much pain, and she eventually turns to morphling.

and just. idk. everyone else is able to keep up a facade that the capitol is willing to put up with if not outright use, and those who can’t keep that facade up become addicted to something that keeps them docile: the morphlings may not be outright usable, but at least they’re too out of it to do anything, and chaff seems to generally be a positive presence (at least in the eyes of the capitol), with or without alcohol. and johanna, while not abusing any substances until d13, (eventually) constructed a coping mechanism that was deemed palatable: with her family gone, she became angrier and more aggressive, both bc she had nothing to lose but also as a reaction to her trauma, and in the audience’s eyes anything she says or does can be brushed off as “oh that’s just angry johanna, she used to be such a crybaby but she sure fooled us, she’s so tough and feisty!” it’s all just a part of her shtick to them.

and even wiress, who has her peculiarities and is later broken further by the blood rain, is “useful” and invents in her spare time. hell, even haymitch manages it: sure, he tends to be very aggressive and grumpy, but that’s not what the audience sees. to them, he’s comedic. he’s the bumbling fool who arrives late to the reaping, yells some drunken stuff about how he likes the new tribute, messes with the escort, then falls off the stage. caesar even brings it up during katniss’s interview, and when the cameras pan to haymitch he goodnaturedly waves it away then turns the attention back to katniss

the only one we know of who can’t manage to reign in their symptoms in a way that the capitol can use to their advantage is annie. she’s also the only one aside from maybe wiress who we see really display the mental impacts in a way that is commonly thought of as “insane.” and i don’t think that has to be a problem, at least to fans.

Katniss from the Hunger Games.

Can you please share a snippet from the WIP chapter 25 of holding bright?

sure! here’s just a little snippet ;)

“Why can’t you just let me go?! Why can’t you just let things happen? Why do you… Why do you have to fight everything?” she bursts.

Gale’s shoulders sink as he huffs out a sigh. His eyes follow his own fingers as he idly traces the outlines of his pants pockets. “I… I’ve never been very good at doing what’s expected of me,” he says quietly. His gaze shifts to meet hers, his chin still tucked down and his dark eyes electric against the glow of the sunlit blood splattered across his face. “And you know I can’t just let you go.”

“Stop lying,” Madge snaps reflexively. “No more lying.”

Anger flits across Gale’s face, those storm cloud eyes lighting up with rage, and Madge never thought it’d feel so welcome, so familiar. This, this she can understand.

[thank you so much for reaching out and asking, i’m so glad you’re looking forward to it!! i’m also gonna tag @vampirehizzies @thefloatingwriter @madlymadeleine bc ik they’ll be interested too :3]
