#VICTOR MELLARK

[gleamsofdarkness]

All the craze. I'm marrying Peeta Mellark...in Panem! THIS IS. REAL. There's even a Wedding Cake MILKSHAKE.

[whenthewallfell]

After the success of their EP last year, "Evening Out with Your Mentor", Fall Out Victor are back with debut album "Take This to Your Arena" Known for "Calm before the Cornucopia", "Hey Mitch", and "Homesick on the Victory Tour", FOV have grown a small but loyal following thanks to Mellark's devilishly witty, bleeding-heart lyrics brought to life through Everdeen's soaring vocals (though one wonders if it may also have something to do with lead guitarist Odair and his scandalous outfits). Newly joined by the legendary Mason - pint-sized maniac on the drums and outspoken critic of Capitol Charts - this band is surely one to watch. Be sure to check out "Take This to Your Arena", available in your local record store today! --- Exclusive interview with Peeta Mellark! Who is the Mockingjay? What is his favourite colour?? Did he and Finnick really kiss outside Quarter Quell?????? Turn to page 12 to find out!

I love that every victor from District 12 won by breaking the rules.

Katniss was proficient with a bow and in a forest because she went past the fence and hunted game illegally; Peeta survived because Katniss threatened for the games to not have a victor after the promised rule (presumably influenced by Haymitch?) if he wasn’t saved; Haymitch won because he used the capitol forcefield against his opponent, bringing their weapon into his game; Lucy won because of rat poison brought into the arena and Snow feeding her scent to the snakes.

There was not a victor from twelve that didn’t backhand the Capitol with their survival. lmao.

highlights of violent peeta moments/kills since y'all seem to think being physically violent makes you worthy of being a victor:

He kills the girl from District 8

He's allied with the careers and took a beating at the cornucopia, leading me to believe some of those 11 kills at the cornucopia were his too.

The career alliance was developed DURING the game according to Haymitch, meaning he likely had to prove himself at the cornucopia or die, ergo he likely did kill quite a few people.

He's handy with a knife- even by career standards

He was going to kill again to defend Katniss and only lowered his spear when he saw it was her after the tracker jacker scene

He fends off Cato after getting stung FOUR times by tracker jackers (more than katniss was), takes a sword to the thigh, right next to a major artery, and STILL manages to outrun Cato, camouflage himself and hide.

He kills Foxface (which wasn't violent per se, but this adds to his list. It’s the same way Lucy Gray kills: poison. Rat poison, snakes, berries. It all goes down the same.)

Peeta wrestles Cato on top of the cornucopia with a freshly slashed leg and still manages to end up in only a headlock

It's Peeta's idea to shoot Cato's hand, which he marks with a "X" in his own blood

He volunteers, you know, like a career in the 75th games

He helps to fend off the horde of monkeys with the knife he's skilled with, close range combat vs. long range of katniss's arrows

Peeta kills Brutus, one of the favorites to win the 75th games, likely while trying to defend Chaff (Wonder if this was for Haymitch's sake?)

He launches a man trying to pin him to the ground down the block with just his legs, including the prosthetic at this point.

Lucy Gray Baird, the spark

Haymitch Abernathy, the flint striker

Katniss Everdeen, the fire

Peeta Mellark, the oxygen

Crybaby ˖ ࣪ 𓂃

MDNI // no proof read // sub! Fav x gn! Reader // infantilization? // dacryphilia // overstim

“I’ve barely done anything and you're already crying, so pathetic…”

A whimpery sob escaped his lips. You’ve been jerking his dick for what feels like a lifetime. He’s extremely sensitive as he feels his third orgasm draw near.

“Please,” he whines, his cock is a blushing red that travels up his happy trail. His chest is on fire, he can’t think, he’s being so tortured by your smooth hands.

He turns to putty the moment you give him any sort of attention. Trail your eyes over his body? Hard. Kiss his cheek? Coming. Place your hands on his hips? Destroyed.

“I need-!” He’s gone, arching his back, teary eyes rolling back, come coating your hand once more.

“Can my crybaby handle another?” You ask a smirk spreading over your face as you pet his hair, cooing at his ruined form.

A/N: likes, comments, reblogs appreciated ˖ ࣪ 𓂃Love you all ‹𝟹

I’m hoping to write more (longer) subby works! I had Peeta, Cloud, Zack, Armin, Jean, Connie, Reiner, Shiggy, Bakugou, Midoriya, Kiri, Victor, Gale, and Leon in mind for this one •_•

i like to think that even though it was mostly about katniss and peeta, effie going “and i’m so proud of my victors” she was also including haymitch because he was her first victor.

[thefloatingwriter]

the victors as complex characters will always be more interesting than making them amazing people.

like these are people who did absolutely everything in their power to survive something as traumatic as the games. most of them probably sleep with weapons in their hands. the thought on the forefront of most of their minds is survival. everything else—anyone else—can wait.

they sacrificed everything to crawl out of a killing game. their mental stability. their innocence. their childhood.

and after all of that, they realized that the games never really end. that they would sacrifice ever having a good night sleep without being plagued by nightmares. they would sacrifice their brains to help the capitol. they would sacrifice their bodies, something that should have always been their own, now snatched away from them. all for surviving a killing match that twenty-three children didn’t.

no victor is immune to this either. do you think cashmere doesn’t regret being so excited to go into the games after her brother after staying the night in a strange man’s bed that she doesn’t know? do you think gloss doesn’t regret not warning his sister about the horrors that await her after she wins? do you think brutus doesn’t sometimes wake up in a cold sweat after having yet another nightmare about being on the receiving end of his weapon, just as all of his victims were before everything faded to black? do you think enobaria doesn’t run her tongue over her sharpened teeth and wonder if it was worth it?

do you think beetee doesn’t flinch every time he sees lightning? do you think wiress doesn’t think of how if she hadn’t learned acrobatics that the 48th hunger games would have gone very differently? do you think finnick doesn’t see nets in the same way ever again, after he saw the girl from nine begging for her life tangled in a net he set up before he stabbed her with a trident? do you think annie doesn’t think about if she hadn’t spent all of that time on the beach growing up, playing in the water, that she wouldn’t have survived the dam breaking in her arena? do you think mags doesn’t think about how she left her district partner to die in the first ever traditional career pack? how if maybe, if she had been there to take the blow for him, there would be a different victor of the 11th hunger games?

do you think that blight doesn’t wonder what would have happened if the boy from two had looked up a little bit sooner, looked a little bit closer at the treetops above him, before the knife previously in blight’s hand found it’s way to the boy’s back? do you think that every time johanna picks up an axe, she doesn’t think about what it felt like to stab someone with it, what blood felt like when it splattered you? do you think she doesn’t wake up in a sweat, thinking the moisture on her skin is blood, that she’s back in the third quarter quell? do you think she doesn’t ever walk into her house in the victor’s village and think she sees a glimpse, a shadow, of her lost loved ones?

do you think that woof doesn’t use real knives anymore because every time he sees one, he remembers how it felt to stab blindly at the boy from seven? that even when he was seventy-five and the male tribute from eight for the third quarter quell, he couldn’t even look at the utensil and had to get cecelia to take it away from him? do you think cecelia can’t look at seashells anymore, that she could barely stand district four on her victory tour, because the girl from four was her last kill? that her necklace, a pretty one her sister made for her with a seashell strung through the string, was what cecelia used to choke the life out of her?

do you think that chaff doesn’t ever feel the phantom feeling of his hand? doesn’t ever touch the stump where it used to be and feel the phantom pain of it being sawed off like it was yesterday, even thirty years later? do you think that seeder doesn’t ever feel the hot sun of her arena on her body, doesn’t ever think she’s back, waiting for her death to come?

do you think that haymitch doesn’t start shaking every time a blowgun is provided at the cornucopia? do you think that he didn’t see the gold pin on katniss’ arena wear and have to sit down, remembering a very different girl with blonde hair and a quick witted humor with the same pin? do you think that peeta doesn’t hear foxface’s voice during her interview, over and over and over, until it’s so distorted he can’t even remember what she had actually said? that he doesn’t ever think of the girl from eight, a girl he might not have even known the name of?

do you think that, years down the line, katniss doesn’t realize the fate that waited for glimmer if she had won? do you think that she doesn’t wonder what would have happened if cato was a little quicker to get to the cornucopia to save clove? do you think she doesn’t wonder what the girl from four was like, what her name was, what her parents were like, what she was like? do you think that she doesn’t think about what would have happened if marvel was just a little bit quicker with his spear than her with her arrows, what would have happened if she was just a little bit slower to get to rue?

the what-ifs plague them. their games will never leave them. they will never escape their experiences. their lives will never be their own, if they ever were, ever again.

[besiriusiamwild]

rip wyatt callow, you would’ve loved peeta mellark—another son of a parent who had the odds stacked against their own child.

[maudestivory]

If I see one more person say the characters that show up in SOTR are just fanservice I’m GOING to lose my mind!!! USE YOUR CONTEXT CLUES!!!

[reluctantfir0]

Haymitch sucker punches Chaff, Johanna body slams Finnick into a table, Katniss is choking Peeta whose scratching at her, and Gloss kicked Cashmere in the shins, all viciously aggressive.

Capital Sponsors, sweating: Are they okay?

Effie "damage control" Trinket: Yes, this is just how they show affection.

[cloudy-roro]

I'm a little ashamed to admit this but back when I first watched the hunger games trilogy it never occurred to me how Big of a tragedy the victors purge truly was and I consider it one of the most horrifying and cruel things in the story

The victors stayed under snow's control ever since he became president and as he forced them to relive their trauma with how they would mentor other children who would experience the same horrors as they do and the cycle continue , he stripped them of their youth and innocence and in alot of cases their families yet still still forced them in the position of themselves as entertainment for the capitol and condemned them to feel guilty and tramatized by the children that they couldn't save and lots of them turned to self distraction because of it and in the end he killed them after years and years of them scarfing their agency and sanity and being tools for him to keep the status quo he set an example with their deaths

All the victors deserved the chance to see a Free panem and to see the demise of the person who held them at gunpoint for years. They all deserved to get to experience a life without having to worry if they will fail another child, and they all deserved to get to heal and find love and learn to forgive themselves for the children that they couldn't save and they deserved to be resured that the future generations will grow up without fear of getting their name pulled and they deserve to be able to rebuild their lives and be allowed to see if they wanted to have kids since they will no longer have to be afraid of them getting reaped

All of District 1 and 2 and 4 victors deserved to see that the lies they were taught would never be taught again for other children that kids won't spend their lives training in the hopes of participating in a death match thinking that they were becoming heroes but in reality they were pawns the capitol was willing to discard at any moment

And yet out of 65 victors only 7 survived and got to see that JUST SEVEN like I love all of them as much as the next person but it's still tragic besides the district 12 victors who became their own little found family the other victors lost people who they have known for years and who were their neighbors and friends or colleges . Annie lost finnick and mags being the most obvious example but enobaria and Johanna and beetee also lost their colleges and would be the only ones left in victors village in their districts and the people who shared their burdens were gone

It's truly tragic for everyone and I feel ashamed that it took me this long to realize that. The victors were undoubtedly the biggest victims of the capitol and lots of them never got to see justice be done it's honestly making me go crazy Suzanne is the type of writer who doesn't hold back at all

[batcavescolony]

I think we need to give Burdock Everdeen more credit, he basically mentored half the victors of district 12. His guidance is the reason 3/4 of them are alive. Did he know that was what he was doing? No, but he's basically the reason Katniss and Haymitch can swim, identify some plants, and know the woods. We talk about haunting the narrative, what about helping the narrative?

[heavensbeehall]

Katniss at the beginning of training in Catching Fire: "I don't trust any of them [the other victors], I can't stand most of them, and I'd rather operate with just the two of us.”

Katniss a few pages later: And the more I come to know these people, the worse it is. Because, on the whole, I don't hate them. And some I like. And a lot of them are so damaged that my natural instinct would be to protect them. 

I would watch a whole comedy movie about the hijinks the Victors got up to during their three days of training.

Rewatching after reading the new book is so brutal.

[getmethefuckouttahere]

I fulfilled my promise about the reaping, or at least lent a hand, but she says I can’t come to her yet. I have to look after my family
