red string theory

[mostofthingsmostofthetime]

Hey THG fans thanks to somone else on here (I'm so sorry but I can't remember the name of your blog) I've kind of become obsessed with making book accurate (or as close as I could get) picrews of The Hunger Games characters & now that I'm mostly done with our fravriote star crossed lovers I wanted to show you all. This is my interpretation of what Katniss looked like as a young child.

Pre papa Everdeen's death

Post papa Everdeen's death

Bonus: little Peeta

grandpa haymitch!!!

my biggest epilogue headcanon is that i 100% believe haymitch decides to quit drinking when he finds out katniss is pregnant (because i REFUSE to accept he doesn’t live to see their kids). i can see him reaching the point in his life where he thinks katniss and peeta don’t need him anymore, and starts letting go of living. i imagine that lenore dove visits him in a dream, her hair gray and face wrinkled (but as beautiful to him as ever). she tells him that his time with his family is not over and they will need him more than ever.

then, he finds out katniss is pregnant, and everything changes. he finally sees an opportunity to start over. everyone he has ever loved has been hurt by him, but he refuses to burden another soul he loves. he loves katniss and peeta too much to break their trust like that yet again, and already sees himself holding their sweet baby in his arms. he can’t imagine stumbling around, slurring his words in front of someone so precious. it’s simply unthinkable.

he thinks of burdock. his adored daughter having her own child. he makes a silent promise to him to take care of his grand babies, something that was taken away from him.

so one night, soon after katniss and peeta break the news, he dumps all the white liquor down the drain. he ends up miserably sick, but just the thought of that baby or the sight of katniss’ growing belly is enough to keep him from going into town and buying more liquor.

he eventually comes back to life, and is more present in katniss and peeta’s lives than ever. he helps them put together the baby’s room, cares for katniss when she’s not feeling well while peeta’s working, and never comes back from town without something for the baby.

when katniss goes into labor, he spends the entire day pacing back and forth downstairs in the living room. he is so worried about her. the sound of labor pains is almost enough to put back a drink. almost.

when he goes upstairs and meets their baby girl, he breaks down. katniss and peeta have never seen him cry until this moment. all he can see are the two people he loves most in the world, wrapped up into a tiny bundle of dark curls and chubby cheeks. she looks just like katniss, remembering the days where burdock showed her off in the hob. he imagines the future he wanted with lenore dove, how they were going to have their own babies and grandbabies. she would be so proud of him, so happy he got to experience the love of being a father and a grandfather in this world.

as baby girl and her brother grow, haymitch becomes their favorite person. they love to ride on his shoulders, chase around with the geese, and play dress up with him (which is katniss’s favorite thing to watch - he looks ridiculous and can’t help but scowl at her as she laughs at him dressed up in a dress and tiara. he does it anyway, it makes the kids happy).

he eventually teaches the girl how to play piano (because he obviously learned it to honor lenore dove), and brings her a bundle of wildflowers after her first recital. he is there for every birthday, every school performance, every sport event, and every sunday (at the very least) for dinner. he walks with katniss every afternoon to pick them up from school, and carries the boy on his shoulders while he holds the girl’s hand.

he loves her beautiful voice and her kindness toward everyone she meets. he loves his curiosity, his belly laugh, and the mop of blonde curls on the top of his head. he often finds himself ruffling them, just as he would do to sid so long ago.

they remind him of all the innocent souls he loved and lossed. sid, louella, ampert, lou lou; all too innocent for the creulty of the world. the difference is, they are out of the capitol’s reach.

finally, he is not defined by his faults. he is not the rebel tribute who got his family and his girl killed, a victor, a mentor, or a drunk. he is grandpa haymitch. loved to death by two little kids and their parents, just for being him.

lenore dove often visits him in his dreams, telling him she’s so proud of him, and to keep living for her in this world where the sun rises on days full of love, hope, and peace.

i know some ppl can see katniss as the strict parent, but it has never came into my mind. have you seen how easy she can be w prim? have you seen peeta in cf? strict personal trainer extraordinaire ??!! katniss would look right into her kid’s face- connect something w peeta like her daughters blue eyes or her sons face and would go ‘okay-just don’t tell your father this- please. i don’t want you in trouble my little ducks’ ! allowing them to get away w it. not to say peeta wouldn’t be a fantastic parent- he would just be the more strict on w rule and routine

suzanne collins : “so in the epilogue of mockingjay, katniss only refers to her children as the girl and the boy-”

people who read with one eye shut : “BECAUSE SHE DOESN’T LOVE HER KIDS AND WAS FORCED INTO HAVING THEM BY THE EVIL PEETA MELLARK?”

suzanne collins probably : “because i couldn’t decide on two names i liked.”

Just a dad and his toastbaby 💚

I think Peeta wears glasses in the future, and I love it!

I don’t know what to say, he is so in love with his baby girl.

[liberalk1tsch]

idk why but i don’t see katniss being particularly talented at doing hair. the only thing we know she does/can do is do a straight braid down her back (i’m assuming her mother did the double braids when she was a kid).

when the toast daughter is born, i’m inclined to believe peeta is the one who does her hair. he’s the one who’s spent the majority of his life plaiting anything from 3 strand fletbrød to 6 strand challah. she probably gets his curls too, and katniss doesn’t know the first thing about how to deal with that.

i also just love the idea of them having a shared daddy-daughter curl routine. can’t explain it.

Saw this cute pose on pinterest and decided to reference it here for Peeta and his daughter! Doing a little dance in his art studio.

Remember every reblog and tag means the world!

one time one of the most terrifying times i accidentally skipped to a random page while reading was the first time i read catching fire.

i was probably still in the first few chapters when a gust of wind blows and all that’s in front of my face is “i am pregnant”

EXXCUSEEEEEE ME!??!???!?

When Katniss cries, it's loud and messy.

When Peeta cries, it's quiet and subdued, as if he doesn't want katniss to hear to be heard.

[littlemarianah]

My favorite thing about writing Peeta as a father is the difficulty of breaking the cycle of abuse.

When you are not loved, you do not know how to love. Love and care are taught. Many things that Peeta thought were normal were abuse. I think Peeta is constantly aware when he is repeating the mistakes his parents made. When he raises his voice, when he seems irritated for a small reason, but other things are more difficult to see.

Peeta learned to tie his shoes alone.

He learned to take care of himself. His mother used to say that's what makes a man strong. There were no gentle hands to comb his hair or goodnight kisses to help him fall asleep. He learned to control his tears, swallow his feelings, and keep quiet.

And a lot of times, his first instinct is to tell his kids to do it alone.

But Katniss always arrives first.

Willow knows how to braid her own hair, actually very well. But there's nothing like Katniss' hands stroking her hair and running a comb very gently over her scalp. Rye knows how to peel an orange, but prefers to watch his mother peel it with a knife, because Katniss knows how to make a perfect spiral without breaking the peel.

It's love.

So Peeta stops asking why when the boy asks him to tie his shoes. It's satisfying to hear Rye proudly saying "Daddy, my shoelaces look like two rabbit ears."

Commission for @littlemarianah 's upcoming story that centers around Katniss and Peeta's kids in the Games 🍞🔥 I'd say keep your eyes peeled since it's beautifully written 🤌

[radiant--as-the--sun]

do people really just wanna be fans of the hunger games and not mention palestine at all? like honestly? do you really wanna just support fictional uprisings and fighting back against fictional oppression but don't actually give a shit about it in real life? did y'all genuinely learn and internalize nothing from this series????
