In regarding to Effie/Hayffie (just briefly mentioned but i will include it) I feel like Katniss being a limited narrator (in the sense that she doesn't take a third party approach, and tells her story from the point of view she held while living its events) is something that's important to take in consideration.

What we do know of book Haymitch and book Effie (more so the latter) is limited to what Katniss sees firsthand.

Solely speaking about Effie, Katniss tells us a few things:

1. she's compassionate towards her and Peeta, and towards other victors too ("Oh, not Cecilia..." and her talking about Chaff)

2. Haymitch has an habit of defending her, and she does the same in the limits of her capacity

3. She is very observant; she sees that Katniss isn't able to sleep and gives her sleeping pills. She cares.

4. She was the one who proposed the tokens for the 75th HG.

Of course we don't get her full point of view or opinion, but that'd because Katniss genuinely didn't know, nor does she know about what happened to her in MJ until Flavius, Venia and Octavia tell her.

There is a lot that's said between the lines, that's easily forgettable but that make up her character and give us more context about what goes on with her.

Again, she's a character that's highly open to interpretation, because we don't know anything about her apart from these little tidbits Katniss shows us, and so it goes with Hayffie, if we want to make a stretch.

We only know that they often bicker, but we also see her defend Haymitch's role as a mentor, ally with him for Katniss and Peeta's sake and, again, we are told Haymitch will defend Effie.

And we are also told, in the end, that Haymitch and Plutarch take great pain to keep her alive.

Can't stress enough that the interpretations are endless, but the idea of Effie being more than a morally grey character (like an antagonist, or worse, a villain) is a stretch, given what we do know about her.

FR. This year's MET gala is actually based on Effie bc she's such a fashion icon no I will not elaborate 😌

[sea-owl]

Another person I fully believe would have slayed at the Met Gala, Mama Effie Trinket.

Not only would she be one of the best dressed, but if her team was with her, she would make sure they would be on theme in their own personal styles. She's not gonna have her husband and kids being labeled as badly dressed, not on her watch.

The Flamingo and the Bumblebee - Chapter 1

Rating: T

Summary: The first Reaping Day post-war is upon them, but this year Haymitch has other plans. Ones that involve a dress, a tradition, and the final wish of a lost friend.

It all started with:

The fact that I can still get hate on ITGN even so long after it's been finished XD

This is a little hc of mine that has to do with my wip:

during the 67th hunger games Effie and Haymitch danced during one of the Capitol mandated events. It wasn't exactly planned, and it involved a lot of puppy eyes from Effie, but ultimately Haymitch caved in. It wasn't the first time they had danced, admittedly, but he was unusually sober and the whole thing stuck with him for years because of that.

Now the fun part is that 16 years old Finnick definitely noticed, and would tease him immensely for it.

what are some of your hayffie headcanons ?! I wanna know 😭😭

[mossyfernhugger]

The Haymitch and Effie kiss. The kiss between Haymitch and Effie. Btw guys Effie and Haymitch kissed on the lips. The hayffie. The hayffie kiss. The 1:56:29. The time Haymitch kissed Effie. Do you remember that one moment in Mockingjay part 2 where Effie Trinket and Haymitch Abernathy kiss. That one time Effie kissed Haymitch goodbye. The “don’t be a stranger”. The kiss on the cheek. The kiss on the lips. Have I mentioned Haymitch and Effie kissed at the end of mockingjay part 2. The Effie Trinket x Haymitch Abernathy kiss. The

hot take: effie would not have wished haymitch a happy birthday. in fact, hayffie would not have worked at all!

first off, the cultural differences between haymitch and effie would have a huge impact on their relationship. throughout their upbringings, prejudice was ingrained into them. if katniss dislikes the capitol so much, readers can assume that the divide between the districts and the capitol was worse when haymitch was a teenager. if this was normalized, expected even, it would take SO MUCH for haymitch to work through his implicit bias.

effie is definitely not exempt from that either. her prejudice is extremely apparent when interacting with or speaking about the districts. some interesting effie quotes include:

“The pair last year ate everything with their hands like a couple of savages” (The Hunger Games 44).

“How you’ve both successfully struggled to overcome the barbarism of your district” (The Hunger Games 74).

effie’s implicit bias prevents her from fully empathizing with haymitch’s experience in the hunger games and growing up in the districts. she views the games the same as other capitol folk—she sees nothing wrong with them! she doesn’t care too much about the district 12 tributes dying or about why there are more name slips than eligible children, she just wants a promotion!!

additionally, haymitch and effie just don’t get along. their personalities clash and they are forced to put up with each other in order to help katniss and peeta. effie is described to be “muttering obscenities under her breath” (The Hunger Games 55) after an interaction with haymitch. another instance details how “Cinna and Portia seem to have a civilizing effect on Haymitch and Effie. At least they’re addressing each other decently” (The Hunger Games 76).

effie wouldn’t wish him a happy birthday, she would steer clear of him! god forbid he tries to embarrass her on stage again. and that’s if she even KNOWS it’s his birthday.

furthermore, it is probable that haymitch still hasn’t healed from his young love. he may still have feelings for her, and even if he doesn’t, their relationship has likely left a lasting impression on him. this could prevent him from entering any relationship. not to mention his substance abuse issues and trauma!

the romanticization of the hunger games needs to be studied. some fans fail to realize that they express behaviors that suzanne collins critiques with her use of the capitol and its people.

🔥 and Haymitch?

many MANY things to say in which i usually do mention on here, but not this specifically.

haymitch is not unintelligent. it's so often i see posts or conversations in this fandom where he's constantly getting dumbed down to being an “aggressive drunk” or “stupid, ” especially within shipping (e.g, hayffie.) haymitch is one of the most smartest characters in the entire franchise. he's a functioning alcoholic with a stable helm on mentorship for a product of 24 years when we first meet him, and while although he is (in chapter 2-4 of the first book,) extremely inebriated and not only falls off a stage and pukes on himself and falls into it, he's very much in control of himself outside of that.

he's got a sharp memory (demonstrated when he took katniss and peeta to an old part of the district 11 justice building,) and is often 10 steps ahead of others in his thinking. in my opinion, there are times where he plays up his addiction & character to seem weak/unsuspicious (“she's got spunk!” alongside then pointing at capitol planted cameras,) but also lying to katniss about the uprisings.

he's not your average drunk and he isn't just some sleeze that only drinks booze and has no regard for other people, he spends the ENTIRE trilogy protecting katniss and peeta and also caring for those around him in a gruff, closed off way. most people forget that not only is he a solitary, agoraphobic survivor with ptsd, but he actually spites those experiences with suzanne's fresh approach to the idea of an alcoholic, who copes with trauma by drinking and STILL is able to get things done. he is not a textbook, stereotypical drunk, he is one of the more realistic takes in not only his grief, his coping, and his withdrawal + ptsd, but his humanity.

[hungergameshyperfixation]

I know Hayffie is most commonly a romantic ship, but I’d also love to see platonic Hayffie. In book canon they definitely don’t get along at certain points, but it’s clear Haymitch cares for her (he and Plutarch “fought” to keep her alive in Mockingjay). And not even to mention that they’re some form of canon in the films.

But anyway, in an alternate universe where they don’t hook up, or end up moving in together, etc…

Haymitch calling Effie in the reconstruction era of the Capitol, the two of them catching up and sharing updates. Both of them caring for Katniss and Peeta. Effie checking in and visiting for their sake, and bringing Haymitch a fancy drink she assumes he’ll enjoy.

The two of them generally getting along, occasionally bickering or disagreeing. They don’t exactly have a reason to stay in contact, but they do nonetheless.

Haymitch being happy to hear about a certain someone Effie’s been seeing; Effie absolutely overjoyed if/when Haymitch begrudgingly mentions that he’s seeing someone, etc. Or, both of them contently remaining single, and focusing on other joys.

Haymitch getting annoyed as hell when Effie pushes a call upwards of two hours. Effie talking about literally anything under the sun.

Effie, Plutarch, Haymitch, and the other adult victors occasionally meeting up when applicable; sharing stories and “reminiscing” on old times (especially considering a lot of them ‘worked’ together).

Idk, I know most of those things could still fit into the romantic ship category, but I just enjoy exploring different ideas with characters. I’m definitely of the opinion that platonic characters and ships are just as interesting and can be just as meaningful as romantic ones.

Plus, I’m queer and have been interested in different ideas of ‘relationship anarchy’ and just that general stuff, so I think it shines through a little bit; I like to queer the things I like LMAO.

[lethargicmouse]

I just finished re-reading the Hunger Games trilogy, again! In preparation for Sunrise on the Reaping. I spent most of my reading focusing on how book!Haymitch is presented, as well as book!Effie and their collective dynamic. It was difficult to put aside my years of reading Hayffie fanfiction to absorb the book as objectively as I could, but doing so was rewarding, in a way? It made me sad for Haymitch, because if they were ever something it never amounted to anything after the war. And Effie’s imprisonment and supposed torture is never touched on. Which is truly to be presumed because Katniss herself is an unreliable narrator, and only really goes into depth on those she really cares about. I always think back to Effie’s comment on Cecelia when they watch the reapings for the quell in Catching Fire: was she acting as a concerned Capitol citizen who had a parasocial relationship with the victors, or were he and Cecelia friendly? Was Effie chummy with the Victors as so many fanfiction authors portray her to be? What did Katniss miss? I also always think back to the epilogue of Mockingjay, and the lack of mention of Haymitch. One can assume Katniss almost has an affectionate indifference to him, at this point. But I don’t think he’s mentioned because he’s dead. Either from liver failure or suicide I think he’s gone. Maybe after he added his dead tributes to Katniss and Peeta’s book, he felt at peace and his beaten body finally let go. I’m not sure. But frankly, for him, it seems like the right ending. 

[incubationformadness]

Do u believe Hayffie remains childless after the war or do you believe they have children?

I don't know if answering this counts as a spoiler so don't read this if you want to have no idea about my Hayffie trajectory:

Honestly? I think they remain childless.

I'm not opposed to fics in which they have children - I've seen a fair few good ones - but in my personal opinion it doesn't fit with what we know of both partners, Haymitch in particular.

Haymitch has deep-seated trauma relating to the deaths of his family and his girlfriend (Iris Machen, if you're reading my fic), and I imagine that would drastically affect his opinion on having children. In canon, Katniss notes that Haymitch's life is "solitary confinement". This, I think, is a defensive mechanism to avoid vulnerability, but primarily to prevent endangering other people. In my fic, this extends to his dog, Daffodil - he's at first reluctant to adopt her out of his fear that Snow will have her killed (more than a decade after the murders of his loved ones). He's vigilant about her safety, stressed by unexpected knocks on his door, and holds a private hatred towards Peacekeepers. In other words, having anyone he's responsible for puts him in a state of fight-or-flight. That doesn't easily go away.

We also know from Mockingjay that post-rebellion Haymitch relapses his alcohol abuse. Haymitch's severe alcoholism and horrific, untreated PTSD (i.e. his tendency to respond to being suddenly woken up by lunging for a knife) would not put him in the best headspace for having children. And I imagine that he holds a great deal of guilt and discomfort being around any child, due to the emotional toll of repeatedly failing to save any of his tributes before Katniss and Peeta. Haymitch is also strongly effected by a collective trauma which effects the people of District 12, but in particular the people of the Seam (due to the higher rates of poverty, death, and Seam children being reaped for the Games). There's a pervasive feeling of the children aren't safe in the Seam. Not to mention that District 12 literally gets genocided during the second rebellion - we don't get to see Haymitch's direct reaction to that in Mockingjay, but that would definitely traumatise him. No matter how long he's lived in Victor's Village, I think that he maintains a Seam identity - and that place is obliterated by fire bombs.

Effie's opinion on children would be a complicated one. Book!Effie is something of an unknown, as she's not a fleshed-out character, while fic!Effie carries many problems. Out of the two of them, she's the more nurturing, responsible one, but she also suffers from her own severe childhood trauma, albeit of a very different nature. Fic!Effie genuinely likes children, but she also carries a suppressed terror of them, because they remind her of her defencelessness when she was a child. As a Capitolite, she doesn't have the collective ethnic trauma which Haymitch does, but she is part of a transgenerational trauma chain within the Trinket family - I don't know if I'll get the opportunity to explore this in the fic, but unbeknownst to her, her father (who molested her) was also a victim of childhood sexual abuse. While Effie has none of his sexual perversions, she is nevertheless haunted by a fear that she is fundamentally corrupt - she would fear passing this down to a child.

Additionally, her career as an escort also poses a lot of problems for her - the more she tries to play a maternal role to her younger tributes, the more she becomes emotionally attached to them, the more guilt she feels. Children remind her of her tributes, which stirs up many complicated feelings - her gradual de-programming is going to be a painful reckoning of her role in the deaths of the children she reaped.

Effie also goes through a lot during the war, which would definitely effect her mental health. We know that she was imprisoned in canon after the destruction of the arena of the 75th Games, and much of the fandom headcanon that she was tortured during her captivity. When Katniss reunites with her at the end of Mockingjay, Effie appears physically unchanged, but her eyes are "empty". This, I think, suggests dissociation, which in turns suggests some severe trauma. People who have literally just been traumatised don't immediately jump into having kids. And while Effie's canon age is unknown, I wrote her as only four years younger than Haymitch, which would place her at 37 or 38 years old at the end of the war. Realistically, she doesn't have long before she is physically incapable of having biological children.

Though the post-rebellion world of the Hunger Games is a better one, it doesn't mean that those traumas simply vanish. It takes Katniss at least fifteen years to feel safe enough to have children. Katniss, while arguably being the character most like Haymitch, is still much younger and less hardened than him. And while Effie is (at least pre-war) less overtly embittered, she is still far from being as open and hopeful as Peeta. So I just can't see kids happening post-war. They've both got so much baggage as it is.

I've toyed with the idea of a Hayffie child pre-war - like, maybe they have a secret 'oops' kid - but that would be out of character as they're both fundamentally pragmatic people who would know the implications of that. Considering the amount of colonial dialogue in TBOSAS, there's probably some Capitol law against procreating with district people (sexual relations with victors are fine, but a kid would probably be considered hereditarily unfit, to use a Nazi classification).

That's my yap of the day, thank you for the question!

[changetheprophecy81]

Man i hope we get to see haymitch's relationship with his family and girlfriend. We know his father had died much before coz he only mentions his mother and brother. Was he the bread winner of the house in some way, much like Katniss was? Also I REALLY hope we get to see a little more about Mr and Mrs Everdeen(we don't even know their names). Not to mention how different district 12 was at the time, with loads of whippings and much harsher conditions. I especially wanna know more abt haymitch's gf..was it just casual or something serious? Did he regret her death because her association with him got that innocent girl killed or was it also because he seriously loved her? Also coz I need an actual, legitimate ship for haymitch (i don't ship hayffie). Oh and haymitch's narration would be AWESOME loll

Idk y ppl aren't more excited abt it, u don't get it, THIS IS THE MARAUDERS ERA VERSION OF THG
