Katniss, Peeta, Gale, and Madge - being parents and just trying to discipline when their kids get into trouble:

Haymitch, brandishing a knife, holding all the Toast and Hawthorne babies in his arms: Stay the FUCK back and leave my babies alone!

[ninjapiratelady]

Madge, about her daughter: I don't even know what to do. The other day, Maisie insulted a stranger's dress to her face. In public! She'd never even met this woman!

Haymitch, wiping a tear and remembering another icon named Maysilee: Inspirational.

Madge: Haymitch!

[ninjapiratelady]

What if, instead of there being the whole "she'll choose who she can't survive without", Gale was just simping over Madge (he's in love with her and in slight denial). He's just like "idk if Madge and I are really good for each other cause we're so different. But I guess so are you and Katniss and you two could do it" and Peeta sits straight the fuck up because what? Madge, the Madge he kinda grew up with, is in a relationship with Gale Hawthorne? What the fuck? What did he miss?

And Gale just keeps rambling about her like she's so beautiful and sweet and kind and he loves her so much - but not SO much, ya know? And Peeta's just sitting there like wtf wtf wtf

Not to be dramatic, but I would marry Rick O'Connell in a heartbeat. No hesitation. No questions asked.

Listen Katniss properly fell in love with Peeta somewhere around the eyelash fixation and realized it on the beach ("only one person will be damaged beyond repair if Peeta dies. Me") so you cannot convince me that if they had both been rescued or if Peeta had come back not hijacked that we wouldn't have seen a romcom in d13

[ninjapiratelady]

it actually physically hurts me that sirius was meant to be so free but he spent practically all of his life trapped

[ninjapiratelady]

The main difference between Katniss and Haymitch is that Katniss is dumb as hell

[ninjapiratelady]

REAL!!

Honestly bizarre to me that some of y'all are out here writing Hunger Games fanfiction that have relatively nothing to do with Finnick and you still say that he's dead?

Like....."Peeta and I went to Four for a week to see my mother and Annie and the baby."

Vs "Peeta and I went to Four for a week to see my mother and Finnick, Annie, and the baby." So easy. Whatch'all leavin' him dead for??

things we know about Katniss and Peeta’s children:

- their father wanted them badly (they will never have to feel, as he did, like a waste of space)

- their mother has had a primal fear of losing them ever since they first stirred inside her (and before she even conceived them, let’s be honest)

- but … they bring her fear-conquering joy

- they dance

- they seem to have a good relationship themselves, given how the boy traipses after his sister

- they play in the Meadow where so much tragedy happened, their existence a punctuation of hope literally atop a graveyard

- they are well-fed (chubby!!!)

- they don’t know the atrocities that came before them, but their parents are proactively planning to teach them in a way that will make them brave

- their mother is also proactively planning to teach them about her trauma management mechanisms, working to break the cycle of generational trauma she was subjected to, while teaching them about the goodness of humanity that can sometimes be hard to note and appreciate

- their privacy is crucial to their mother (at least, I think that’s why we never get their names)

- their physical features represent the breaking down of class divisions within a once segregated district

- they take for granted being safe and warm and loved because their parents keep them safe and warm and loved (Katniss’s dream came true: Peeta’s children ARE safe)

*** by the way: I don’t understand how people can even suggest Katniss doesn’t love her children after reading that the babies take Rue’s lullaby for granted … you take something for granted because you’ve always had it! just read the lyrics of that song!

- and, as Peeta says, they’re going to be okay, because they all have each other (and the book)

Also, Haymitch and Effie are married. No, I do not take criticism.

Maybe they have a couple kids. Either way, they're the super loving, but embarrassing, grandparents.

Madge should have lived so that she and Gale could have had the best background haters to reluctant acquaintances to besties in denial to lovers relationship.

Then Katniss gets to have two people to talk to about her Peeta problems and when she's like "IDK if I love him 😕" and Madge just smiles cause yes, you do, but imma let you figure it out on your own time. And Gale just rolls his eyes and walks away cause ffs Katniss, you idiot, go get your husband.

And then Katniss, instead of having to deal with Gale's bullshit in MJ, she gets the pleasure of watching her besties fall in love with each other in real time and she's trying - horribly - to give them relationship advice. Also that one part where Gale's like "I think Finnick likes you" it's out of genuine concern and not jealousy and then Madge laughs her ass off cause "no he doesn't Gale, he misses his wife and she misses her husband and they're best friend bonding over shared trauma". After that, Gale's jealous of Finnick - not because he thinks he loves Katniss but because bro, that is MY bestie get your own.

Also, with platonic bestie everthorne, Prim's death is that much more heartbreaking. Now, instead of being someone that Katniss is mildly annoyed with consistently because she doesn't know if she loves him or Peeta, they're best friends. She tells him (and Madge) everything and she loves him (platonic). And then, she goes from having him as a constant to not being able to look him in the eye and being devastated knowing it wasn't really his fault but she can't seperate him from that event. They grow apart, and, by extension, so do her and Madge.

But because I like happy endings, Gale and Madge move to D2 and Gale tills part of their backyard so Madge can grow a garden and there's a whole section for strawberries. They get married and have a few kids and they're happy. And they make regular trips to 12 to visit Gale's family and also Haymitch (who has lowkey had a soft spot for Madge from afar her whole life because of her icon of an aunt).

It takes a few years, but Peeta and Madge meet each other at the bakery one day and spend a couple hours catching up. Peeta tells Katniss, who then (she denies it) comes with Peeta to the bakery "to help" (to maybe catch Madge). Madge comes by and they reunite and Madge speaks on Gale's behalf about how awful he feels, but she tells Katniss that she understands why she can't forgive him. They decide to remain friends.

The Hawthornes visit 12 a few more times before Katniss decides she's ready to see Gale again. They meet up (with their spouses in tow so they don't have to be alone) and he apologizes and she maybe slowly starts to heal a little more. As a little more time passes, she forgives him for something that wasn't technically his fault and they all become best friends again just in time for Gale and Madge to be the first toast baby's honorary aunt and uncle.

They all stay besties till the very end and their kids are besties and Haymitch is Grandpa Haymitch to the Hawthorne and Toast babies and they all live happily ever after the end.

[ninjapiratelady]

Back on my "Madge lives and her and Gale get married" bullshit.

After Haymitch tells Madge about her iconic aunt in more detail than her mother was probably able to (grief, ya know? - or maybe just a different side of her than Madge's mother knew), Madge tells Gale and then they decide to name their first baby Maysilee "Maisie" Hawthorne.

You guys are publishing your fics? You mean you don't just procrastinate forever???

[ninjapiratelady]

When y/n does something so cringe that i have to look at the invisible camera for a sec.

[ninjapiratelady]

did you know public libraries are free and beautiful

This is my blog and it is

✨️terrible✨️

Everybody is welcome here (unless you're annoying - I'll block you) but IDK why you'd wanna be here.

I have an unhealthy obsession with too many fandoms - specifically The Hunger Games. Finnick lived, Madge lived and married Gale, Snow will never be redeemable no matter how attractive, and we only believe in some parts of SOTR here.

Also this is my sideblog that probably gets used as much as my main one. I'm a gatekeeper, though - I ain't telling you what it is.

I become an entirely different person while operating each respective blog - so good luck finding it.

This is basically my diary of fandom stuff and I'm letting you all read it. You're welcome.

It has come to my attention that some of you silly billies have the wrong copy of Mockingjay where Finnick dies? What?

Anyway, here's a Google doc where I've rewritten the scenes correctly so y'all can fix your books. Enjoy and let me know if I made any mistakes or if you have suggestions. ✌🏼
