first chapter and he already couldn't stop mentioning his girl lenore dove and how much he just wanted to spend time with her ... haymitch abernathy was the original lover boy.

[mal-alina-katniss-peeta]

I am going to cry the whole book I think.

Haymitch Abernathy being just a silly, lazy, sixteen-years-old boy in SOTR is exactly what i needed. The poor man just wanted to hang out with his girlfriend on his birthday, Maaaaaaaaaa

-Haymitch was less mature than Katniss because his mother was actually a functional women and he could be a teenager instead of a small adult raising his little brother. He won’t be making life change realizations and quoting poetic stuff. He just wants to lay down all day in the woods and have a few kisses with his girlfriend

#Coriolanus Snow is a creep

also I love that suzanne wrote katniss and haymitch in first person pov but with coryo she was like “third person for you… you get some distance, creep.”

I am so scared for Sunrise on the reaping. This one is going to hurt guys…😩

I love that Katniss and Peeta clearly didn’t have kids to have a happy ending to the story. They had kids because it was a choice and because they felt safe enough to do it. I also love the fact that even though they do have a happy ending it still isn’t happily ever after. It’s clear in the epilogue they both struggle on a regular basis. It definitely makes the point that in life you can’t just get married, have kids, and live happily ever after. You will still struggle with things and work on yourself and strive for contentment and consistency. The epilogue is just chefs kiss because it is so real and honest.

# Mal is a simp and I am here for it

Mal: I’m Alina’s right hand arm. Man. Her confidant, her best friend, her silly rabbit.

The Darkling: She calls you her silly rabbit?

Mal: No.

BIRDS AND SAINTS!!!!!

Just watched Where The Crawdads Sing…

Kya & Tate are so Katniss & Peeta/Mal & Alina

Birds & Saints

[mal-alina-katniss-peeta]

Mal for the character ask game perhaps??

Of course!

One aspect I love about them: I love Mal’s loyalty. It’s a little sad but this man has been a servant to others his whole life- to Alina, to the first army, to Ravka. This man made the very blatant choice to sacrifice himself for the world and I do believe he’d make that choice again and again. He thinks through a filter of what he can give others and that makes me just want to hide him from the world.

One aspect I wish more people understood about them: Okay on the flip side of that, this man has his own agency!!! Despite sharing the same upbringing as Alina, and living her to bits, he has his own thoughts and opinions. He is not a saint, not a Grisha, not a king, but he is a soldier. A soldier’s point of view of war I think is both needed and valuable and people need to stop acting like being “normal” makes him irrelevant and in the way.

One headcanon I have about them: My headcanon is that Mal comes up with stupid nicknames for everyone in his life. It starts out insulting, (he never lives down calling an all powerful saint “shadow man”) but eventually turns endearing. He refuses to give Nikolai a nickname just to wind him up, and Nikolai has been going on stealth missions to try and gain a nickname in a totally natural and accidental way ever since. Everyone sometimes forgets that Mal is the best tracker in Ravka and can literally feel you coming you dumbass. (The nickname dumbass sticks from then on.)

One character I love seeing them interact with: Okay unexpected answer even for me, but I really loved getting to see him interact with Baghra. I think unconsciously Mal has been missing some kind of cosmic purpose his entire life. Destiny just kind of follows him around like a shadow, and he doesn’t even understand what it means. Baghra meets him and reads him instantly. Perhaps this is because they’re related, or because of her age, but there’s something so absolutely bone chiling but right and surreal about their conversations.

One character I wish they would interact with more: Okay I don’t know if this even counts but, I sort of wish he and Matthias had gotten to meet and be friends. They both have lived such strict and militaristic upbringings and yet risked it all and threw away everything they knew in order to follow their hearts. I just think they might’ve pulled some interesting insight from each other!

One headcanon I have about them and another character: In my head Mal and Alina and a bunch of their kids spends lots of late nights outside during the heat of the summer. One night everyone bursts into laughter after a bug lands on Mal’s face and strangely starts to glow. The kids run around screaming trying to catch a firefly for themselves. Alina manages to catch one in between two palms, and for a second light bleeds through little gaps in between her fingertips. Mal just kind of sits back and smiles because Alina has always been so blindingly bright, and he’s happy to know there are still moments where she simply glows.

The Darkling: She calls you her silly rabbit?

It’s my personal head canon that Alina and Mal died and became Peeta and Katniss and no one can take that away from me…

[mal-alina-katniss-peeta]

I just love Mal and Peeta so much cause they are both just that guy. They are both just completely in love and would do anything for their girls.

Mal of course is not the smartest and he was sometimes a bit of an asshole but he made up for it. He decided to just pledge his life to she even if she couldn’t do the same. Like he wanted a wedding vow but when he realized he wasn’t going to get that he chose to stay by her side and be her tracker/soldier. And I just love that. “I am become a blade” like it’s so sad but so satisfying. And then he got her in the end. And the best part about it is that she chose him too. SHE COULD HAVE BEEN QUEEN! It wasn’t just like I have too it was I don’t want to be a saint I just want a normal life with him!

Peeta was just chefs kiss. He had a crush on Katniss and of course was smart enough to use it to both of they advantages. I think he really was using it as and advantage when he was with the careers. And then when she found him and nursed him back to health it stopped being a strategy and he just fell in love. Of course he was upset with Katniss when he found out she wasn’t in love with him too. But he never blamed anything on her. And then when they had to go back into the games all he wanted was for her to live. He was just so kind and smart and loving. And of course it was so sad when he got hijacked but just so beautiful that his friends helped him recover. And how they spent sometime apart he was in the capital doing therapy and she was in 12 going through it. But I just love how he went back and they could heal together because she really did love him too. I think she did fall in love with him in the first arena she just couldn’t admit it to herself which is understandable. And I love that them having kids at the end of the series was really shown to be a choice.
