#Mellark brothers

Trick or Treat.

Katniss and Peeta as little kid, doing trick or treat :)

“Mama said you gotta watch me, and I’ll tell her you ain’t doing any watching!”

Hello lovely anon! Sorry it took me so long to get around to your treat, but I was trying to think of a cute idea, and I think this is pretty cute. Happy Halloween! Have some candy:

If the Mellark bros were all together in 13 and ended up bonding as a family because everyone died and Peeta’s hijacked now:

*Rye sneaking up on Peeta from behind*

Rye: TIMBER!

Peeta, going off of torture instincts and either punching him, having a panic attack, throwing him on the ground, or all of the above: What is wrong with you?!?

Rye: Me?? You’re the one that freaked out!

Peeta: I’m the one who just escaped the Capitol, asshole!

Bannock: guys, come on.

Rye, pointing at his kid brother: What am I supposed to do with him if I can’t push him around?

Bannock, genuinely confused: I don’t know. Talk to him I guess.

Rye, giving it the good ol’ college try: so, uh, what were the games like?

Bannock: you can’t ask him that, he’s seventeen!

Rye: what the hell is that supposed to mean?! What do I do with him?!

Bannock: I don’t know! Ask him about food or girls or something.

Peeta, watching silently.

Rye: um, so how’s girls?

Peeta: the usual.

Rye: tight.

Bannock: you can’t say that to him! He’s like our kid now!

Rye: BUT THATS—I DIDNT EVEN MEAN IT LIKE THAT!

Bannock: HES JUST A KID!

Peeta: guys—

Rye: he’s seventeen! He’s like, baked to a golden brown.

Peeta, laughing now: What?

The fandom if Suzanne Collins ever tells us that Peeta's middle brother was named anything other than Rye:

Headcannon about the Mellarks - part 1

There are three brothers, who share a small, cramped room at the top of the hot bakery. There is no way you can sleep there without opening the window, even in winter you would sweat to death.

The oldest has a bed just for him, near the window which provides fresh air at night. Definitely the best place.

The middle sleeps in the lower bunk bed, he can still catch the wind from the window, but not enough for a peaceful night's sleep.

The youngest sleeps on the top bunk bed, close to the ceiling. Where all the hot air gathers, it is suffocating. In the hot months he sleeps most of the time on the floor, in the middle of his brothers' bed, to try to get some fresh air.

There are definitely losers and winners in this dynamic. But like everything in the Mellark household, it was resolved through bargaining and fighting.

It's the strongest who wins.

I wish we knew more about Peeta’s relationship with his brothers. Did they have fun together and joke around? Or did they grow bitter and just look out for themselves in their mother’s wrathful household?

I feel like Peeta was close to his dad. It seems like they share the same kind spirit. My headcanon is that Mr. Mellark pointed out Mr. Everdeen and Katniss to Peeta as he walked him to school because he knows their home life is not the ideal family and he wants to give Peeta an example of a family that truly loves and scarifies things for each other, so that Peeta will know real love does exist even if it’s not what he sees at home.

Mrs Mellark was in Katniss own words a witch. She had no charity for anyone no matter how bad they were suffering. She was physically and emotionally abusive to Peeta and probably her other sons as well. Maybe she saw it as a way to toughen them up and give them an every man for himself outlook on life that might help them if they were ever reaped for the games. I feel like Peeta despite everything really loves her and he does forgive her after his first games.

I wish we knew if any of the Mellarks visited with Peeta in victors village.

Poor Peeta lost his whole family in the bombing but it doesn’t have much of an impact on the readers since we knew so little about them and their relationships with Peeta.

[comedymommywhore]

peeta living alone in victor’s village. victor’s village largely being spared from the bombings that killed peeta’s family. thinking devastating thoughts.

[mollywog]

Is there a fandom consensus on Peeta’s oldest brother’s name?

The latest episode is up!! <---Click here for webtoons!

Learned some important things in this chapter --

One, I've had to move to digital linework. It just makes edits easier.

Two, I need to give myself more time if I want higher quality. I'm happy with the art of this chapter, but it falls under 'good and acceptable'. Balancing edits, life, and the fact that I work in Pharmacy during flu season means I had less time than I'd hoped, and I just accepted I wanted to get this chapter OUT. I didn't want to make people wait longer.

So bi-weekly updates moving forward, but Patreons will see weekly pages as I finish edits and pages.

This has already turned into a great learning process and excited to continue it! I also would LOVE to hear your thoughts on Peeta's brothers~ I know there is quite the debate about their names.

[jlalafics]

In which Hubbs and I imagine Brock Purdy, Kit Connor, and of course, Josh Hutcherson as the Mellark brothers.

[chasingwhitebunnies]

Thinking about how the middle Mellark brother would likely have been in the same year as Gale, and wondering whether they knew each other at all

[morningdawnbreaks]

Mrs. Mellark should have been building up her own son’s confidence, not sending him off with idea that someone else is the survivor. Poor Peeta! No wonder he thought no one needed him. Your mom is supposed to be your number 1 cheerleader, and all he gets from her is abuse at every turn.

I catch a glimpse of myself on the television screen on the wall that’s airing my arrival live and feel gratified that I appear almost bored. Peeta Mellark, on the other hand, has obviously been crying and interestingly enough does not seem to be trying to cover it up. I immediately wonder if this will be his strategy in the Games. To appear weak and frightened, to reassure the other tributes that he is no competition at all, and then come out fighting. - "You know what my mother said to me when she came to say good-bye, as if to cheer me up, she says maybe District Twelve will finally have a winner. Then I realized, she didn’t mean me, she meant you!” bursts out Peeta. “Oh, she meant you,” I say with a wave of dismissal. “She said, ‘She’s a survivor, that one.’ She is,” says Peeta.

[waywardangel-wilds]

Hijacked Peeta: *says something awful and false about Katniss.*

Oldest brother: ummm, *awkward subject change*

Delly: Peeta! That’s awful! Katniss would never do that!

Rye: LMAO *openly using a recording device* you’re gonna love this when you’re normal again.

[notsocooljess]

a silly headcanon i have for peeta is that he is just LOUD. not just his feet when he walks. he has a voice that you can pinpoint out in a crowded room. his laugh can be heard above everyone else’s. sometimes when he gets excited his voice gets even louder and he has to ask katniss “i’m yelling, aren’t i?” when he notices her eyes getting wider. he can command a space with his words but also his sheer volume.

[lunar-years]

I am so desperate to know Peeta’s entire lore. Like realistically I understand why his family dynamic goes so under explored in the books but also…I must know everything immediately. Prim and Mrs Everdeen immediately moving into the Victor’s Village with Katniss but none of the Mellarks even come VISIT their 16 yr old son/brother Peeta? The baker bring cookies to Katniss and promising to keep Prim fed and loving her mother. But then barely seeming to be a part of Peeta’s life at all when he returns? Peeta drops in to check on his family and it’s only his dad and they only talk about the weather? Two older brothers and we don’t know a thing about either of them. Gale telling Katniss Peeta’s family will be the ones to rat them out if they run when she wants to invite them along. And that Peeta is smart enough to know it. Peeta recognizing a whipping from sound alone?? All of this crazy lore and then nothing further they just all die and are never brought up again???!!! Suzanne Collins would you like to grab dinner and share the secrets. I will keep them safe. Please.

ON THE BAKERY’S PORCH | FULL SERIES

story of one family bakery and about love and loss and hurt and regrets and memories and hope and love again

Part 1: The Mellarks

And the memories were lost long ago

But at least you have beautiful ghosts*

Part 2: Never felt so alone

What died didn't stay dead,

You're alive, you're alive in my head.*

Part 3: Keep going

I watched it begin again*

Part 4: For evermore

And I'm only me

Who I wanna be

Well, I'm only me when I'm with you*

* lyrics (c) Taylor Swift

there’s this popular TikTok account called “North Valley Group” about 3 brothers who work in their dad’s business and it’s giving me Mellark brothers vibes 😭 I can imagine them having a similar account for the bakery in a modern AU and barely actually posting bakery related content and more of them just goofing off and becoming viral sensations for being a funny menaces to society/ Mr. Mellark 😂

I don't have a TikTok so I'm not familiar with this account, but OMG just imagining them going to Mr. Mellark and convincing him that making a TikTok will help sales and at first it's all cake decorating and showing off the baked goods, then spirals into them goofing off, pranking each other (in a way that is not obnoxious), and also, let's be honest, posting some thirst traps. Do not tell me that a video of Peeta or one of his equally buff brothers kneading dough in a white t-shirt with flour all over their forearms is NOT going viral. And also Katniss follows them on her anonymous account, but not, like, because she has a crush on Peeta or anything. Definitely not. She just really likes bread.

Thank you for the fun modern AU thoughts, anon!! 🤗
