Since I’m back on my hunger games bullshit I feel like it’s my duty to rec one of my fav fics of all time from @finnicksannie. When I tell you I read this three times back to back I mean it it’s SO good the characterization for finnick and annie is everything

What's your opinion about District 4 as Career District?

Why is there a difference between District 4 and other Career Districts (1&2) in supporting the rebellion?

From all known victors from 4, who do you think the first to support it?

(If you have/know any fics which explore this, please let us know).

Thank you :)

@curiousnonny

hi! 

I think that district 4 was a career district!

I haven’t done a re-read in a while but i think I always just assumed that the proximity (not geographical, I mean like the fact that they had close ties) of D1&2 to the Capitol probably has a lot to do with their lack of support in the rebellion.

like we know that D1&2 are viewed very favourably by the Capitol and get more food and resources from them etc so it makes sense that they'd be more loyal. however, i don't remember the same being the case for D4 (someone correct me if I'm wrong though). D4 has always felt more like D7, D10, D11 to me based on vibes alone.

In terms of supporting the rebellion, I feel like the first could have been Mags honestly. Or at least, I feel like she would have known about what was happening.

I can definitely see her being contacted by Plutarch and being asked about how likely the other D4 victors would have been to join. like,, mags was the first D4 victor and i assume she will have done a lot of the mentoring in the years to come. she would have been a great starting point for the rebellion. who else would have known/understood her districts victors personalities better than her? and also the fact that she's been around for so long would mean that she could also provide a lot of insight into victors from other districts and the workings of the games themselves etc

and yeah, i feel like mags might have needed a bit of convincing at first. we know that canonically she's half-raised finnick (and probably other D4 victors too, esp if they were careers) so i could see her initially being cautious about promises of rebellion and change. she's old enough to have been alive before the first games, (maybe not old enough to remember what life was like but she probably would have had some idea from like idk - her parents talking about it or something) and so i can see her being weary of the idea of putting the other victors in more danger on the hope of something better.

but we also know that mags is kind and selfless and caring and i think she also would have wanted her 'kids' to have a chance at living in a better world. so yeah! i think mags would have been the first D4 victor told about the rebellion and i think finnick would have come soon after.

i don't think ive read fics that specifically discuss this, but most of @finnicksannie (TheWalkingGrimes on ao3)'s thg fics are about D4 and it's victors so those fics are all a brilliant place to start! also i know @the-sun-and-the-sea also has lots of d4 centric fics on ao3!

tag game: (9) people you'd like to get to know better

Thank you for the tag, @kahans!

1. last song: Wait for It from Hamilton, because I was seized by the urge to reignite my Broadway phase.

2. currently watching: nothing right now. I'm really picky about tv shows so I don't always have something to watch, also it's hard to find time.

3. three ships: do I even have three? I'm more of a platonic relationships type of person. Odesta, obviously. I think that counts as three <3

4. favourite colour: I love all the colors. My favorite is sometimes blue and sometimes yellow and sometimes anything else.

5. currently consuming: water.

6. first ship: probably something from Harry Potter (because who wasn't into that fandom at some point?) but I honestly don't remember. Odesta was my first ship I was serious about.

7. relationship status: single. Also why is this question on here?

8. last movie: probably TBOSAS! I'm excited for it to be on streaming platforms so I can watch it again

9. currently working on: I have a Mags fic in the works that I hope to get out before Christmas, nothing super long but I think it'll be cool.

What do you think about Madlyn Heartstopper AU? Like a little gender blend but look:

Charlie - Maddox (duh with those kind of parents)

Nick - Ashlyn (bisexual awakening)

Tori - Jet (again the parents and Maddox protector)

Ben - Madison (just make sense)

Tao - EJ (Kind of a Maddox protector too and like RJ)

Isaac - (not sure but can be anyone)

Elle - Ricky (just read a few Ricky as a trans and again RJ)

Darcy - Gina (another person with a problem with a parent and I'm quite a Gini stan)

Tara - Nini (kiss a boy but again lesbian)

Imogen - Big Red (ally!)

Harry - Lily (I mean any antagonist will do)

i would say yes but i actually do kinda like jane spring. she's 100% not the best mum and i'll be the first to admit that but she's painted by the fandom as a villain who doesn't care about charlie and who is emotionally abusive to her children, which couldn't be farther from the truth. i really suggest you look up jane spring on @/finnicksannie's account or read this.

i would like this idea in any other case but jane spring is not nearly as bad of a parent as we've headcanoned mr and mrs nolastname to be, so im gonna have to turn this one down

[muchymozzarella]

@finnicksannie I think the "it's fine" line is making a lot of people confused so let me clarify.

I do not think all fiction is "fine" if that fiction was created by bigots or used by bigots to harm others.

"It's fiction, it's a fantasy, so it's fine" is basically just my way of saying "applying real world morals to fiction is unhealthy and unrealistic, because then I would essentially be incapable of engaging with fiction at all, since I am aware of all the nasty things that could happen in fiction deemed wholesome by others".

I would be morally opposed to ALL adventures involving kids and teens because it's not right to have kids fight in fantasy wars. All young adult fiction would immediately be morally reprehensible to me. I would be morally opposed to any fiction that has guns in them because I'm morally opposed to firearms. I simply do not accept people should have them, outside of hunters who live out of cities. I'd be morally opposed to any fiction involving billionaires if it doesn't involve the billionaire losing all their money or dying.

But when all these are fiction, I am ready to engage. Yeah sure I'll read the story about the sugar baby with a billionaire sex pest Dom. Sure I'll read the Stockholm Syndrome romance. I acknowledge how fucked all these things would be IRL, but it's meant to be a fantasy far removed from all the harms that would come with the reality, and I'm ready to engage

The moment these become reality or have real consequences, I'm very actively opposed to any of it. Also, I have way more patience for fucked fanfic as a free story with warnings on it than I do a widely distributed piece of fiction as a bestseller or movie/tv adaptation, but I still won't assume everyone who likes it is a monster who condones it.

I don't presume to know everything about every human being. I don't know what fiction does for them. I'm not going to pretend I do. Criticism is fine, especially for wider distributed content, but sometimes you have to ask yourself "what does this criticism serve"?

If it's just to make you feel good about being on the moral high ground, as a lot of criticism of niche, free, small audience fanfic does, then that's not criticism. That's just ego.

It's definitely more nuanced than all I've written in the post but it would take a few hours to break literally everything down.

Whenever people try to tell me to ship "moral ships" I like to think about how inherently immoral it is to flirt with service workers at coffee shops where they're obliged to be nice to you so... many coffee shop AUs are like. Immoral. But given that they are a fantasy where this is instant romance without the fear of trapping a service worker in an uncomfortable situation that's tantamount to workplace sexual harassment, I enjoy the cutesy coffee shop AUs immensely.

And that's basically my attitude towards all fantasy. There's lots of things I enjoy in fantasy that wouldn't work IRL. Enemies to lovers. Sudden kisses. Miscommunications in relationships. Codependency. Fight sluts who physically assault each other while emotionally connecting.

Once you start ascribing your morals to the fiction you consume, you tend to miss the issues in even the most innocuous, innocent seeming scenarios. It's easy to judge other people's fictional enjoyment until someone points out your innocent coffee shop AU is romanticised workplace harassment.

But it's all fiction. It's a fantasy. That's why it's fine.

A lack of education around things like consent, healthy relationships, self respect and respect of others, bodily autonomy, etc, has made people think they can rely only on fiction to tell them what right - but that's dangerous. And unsustainable.

author self-interview

tagged by endlessnightlock :) thank you!!

name: we’ll still say Gabbie, even though that’s very much an alias leftover from being a minor online. I also go by MarbleSharp.

fandoms: THG is the only one I’m active in lately but this blog reflects my other, more passive fandom interests lol

where do you post: Archive of Our Own and Fanfiction.net. and then I advertise/preview things here on tumblr. 

most popular multi-chapter fic: Somthing of Our Own, or SOO, a WIP about Haymitch and Hazelle Hawthorne with peripheral Everlark, reconstruction, and other fun post-MJ things. 

favorite story you’ve written so far: gosh, Idk. I think I like SOO best because it’s my most recent writing and it’s my attempt at a mature slow-burn between two middle-aged people with shared history and a good deal of baggage but a good deal of hope, too. it’s just flat-out compelling to me and I care about it a lot which makes it more than a little painstaking to write, haha

fic you were nervous to post: my very first one, To Have and To Hold, back in 2011 when I was in the eighth grade(!). but it’s a nice, little, bittersweet AU about Haymitch’s girl, had she and his family survived.

how do you choose your titles: agonizingly. 

do you outline: for multi-chapter stories, I do. but they’re loose outlines where I leave room to let things happen ~ organically ~ in between major plot points. I tend to be very character-driven.

complete: 

Best of Luck, Mockingjay - for a horror prompt, featuring Jackson toward the brutal end of the Squad 451.

bronze legacy - a prompt about Finnick & Annie’s son that sort of explores the genetic/societal onus of carrying a late parent’s legacy. there’s a happy ending though!

The Callers from the Coffin - my first multi-chapter story, where I used Markus Zusak’s narrator Death from The Book Thief to narrate parts of Haymitch’s life that either Haymitch remembers on his deathbed or Death witnessed itself. it’s not really a crossover but I labeled it as such because there are general spoilers for TBT. it was fun to write and the reception was pretty good, though much of the character backstory within is no longer my headcanon lol

cinderella man - a short and sweet multi-chapter story where I use the Cinderella fairy tale to tell Peeta’s side of the Everlark story (or one interpretation of it, anyway).

eat your heart out - about Titus, the cannibal tribute.

Gym Class - an Everlark oneshot where Katniss accidentally (but also not) hits Peeta in the face with a dodgeball, or the origin story of Peeta’s ‘not a piece in their games’ philosophy.

let the memories be good for those who stay - my one (1) story for another fandom. it’s an AU of The Book Thief where the main character Liesel dies and her love interest Rudy lives instead. I’ve gotten many an upset comment about it, which I accept warmly. :)

A New Way to Breathe - a prompt (for shesasurvivor actually!) about Johanna and Haymitch after the war, though in this story the war doesn’t end... well... for some beloved characters. imo, this fic is best read listening to “Alone Together” by Fallout Boy on repeat. 

stronger than her story (once she’s lost the plot) - Enobaria vs. Johanna through the years. and it’s very much vs., not / or &

To Have and To Hold

in progress: 

so this is your maverick - this AU where Thresh and Rue win can be considered finished but I’d love to come back to it and do a second, final part from Rue’s perspective. only trouble is, I’ve read several great fics with this same AU that cover them going through the rebellion together and so I don’t really know what I have to add to it. we’ll see (as if it hasn’t been 8 years lmao)

Something of Our Own 

coming soon:

a month ago, I would’ve said stronger than her story (once she’s lost the plot), a near decade-long WIP lol 

but for right now, I’m just working on SOO. *shrugs*

do you accept prompts: sure, though I tend to be a slow writer and I might have to sit on it for a while before posting it. it’d probably be a drabble, too.

upcoming story you’re most excited to write: the rest of SOO? I feel like a broken record :P 

story/stories you’re most excited to read: the stories or authors I’m subscribed to, of which there are too many to list here. I also love to check out my mutuals’ recommendations or their own work!

4,7,9 for the fanfic ask! 😁

I'm just going to go ahead and answer this as if it's not like three weeks after you sent it.

4. What is your comfort trope?

Found family!

7. Do you prefer reading/writing multi-chapter works or one-shots?

Multi-chapter for reading but one-shot for writing because I lack discipline.

9. Are you comfortable reading/writing fic in public?

Yes as long as no one is actually close enough to read my screen

Thanks for the ask!

[invisible-pink-toast]

So @finnicksannie​ is writing the most amazing series called Control that’s about Annie and Finnick’s story before The Hunger Games and it’s so well written and captivating and Annie’s a career which isn’t something I’ve ever seen before and I love it so much. 

The first fic is ‘Cause Ain’t Nobody Gonna Save You and starts with Annie’s games and is finished and the second fic is ongoing and updates frequently called The World Is Getting Stranger and I honestly cannot recommend them enough - the plot, the characters, the relationships, the worldbuilding everything is just perfect! 

I loved the series so much, and there were so many amazing characters, that I made a cast for them! Some are from the movies, but most are new. Here’s a link to the google doc with the whole cast, but here’s a look at a couple of the castings!

[katnissmellarkkk]

Unpopular opinion: Katniss is directly descended from Maude Ivory, not Lucy Gray.

strongly agree | agree | neutral | disagree | strongly disagree

Omg I can’t agree any harder! This is totally my personal headcanon! There’s like zero hard evidence one way or another but Katniss being the granddaughter of Maude fits. There’s nothing to contradict it?

And I know you didn’t ask for this long of an explanation but imma climb up on the soapbox real quick and say, that in all my fics and AUs, I allude somewhat to Katniss being Maude Ivory’s descendant. If Maude Ivory was nine during the 10th Hunger Games, then she would be old enough to have a child anywhere from the 19th Hunger Games (when she’d be about 18) and on. And so if she had a kid at like 27ish it could easily be Katniss’ father.

Anyways. Irrelevant but I love this concept. I don’t think there’s anyway Katniss is descended from Lucy Gray, considering she apparently never returned to Twelve and it’s too complicated to try and imagine a situation where she had a baby and somehow that baby made its way back to Twelve to have another baby who had Katniss who has zero knowledge of any of these events so nah. If she’s descended from anyone, it’s not Lucy Gray 😅🤣. I gave myself a headache typing that out.

[rosaaeles]

what are your favourite thg fics? i'm looking for more but i'm not sure where to start!

RIGHT OKAY SO

literally anything by @katnissmellarkkk (vanillacottoncandy on AO3). LISTEN. when I tell you these fics changed me im not joking at all. in fact, gravity is the fic that got me into writing for thg so i am very grateful to it! i also really love sweet girl and whispers of light, and everything in long story short. basically, you should read everything that samantha writes bc she is the absolute sweetest and also an incredible, incredible writer! everlark centric

-

next is anything by @finnicksannie (thewalkinggrimes on AO3). you best believe that control is easily life changing one of the best works i have ever read for this fandom and maybe just in general . truly, like it is jaw dropping, stunning, amazing. i have nothing bad to say about it whatsoever. tales of district four is also an absolute treasure trove, so i really recommend that if you're looking for something finnick and annie centric! it was so good that I read it all in a day and then proceeded to talk to my friends about it for the next week. that's how good it was. odesta centric

-

i'm currently really enjoying mind wipe by @ellanainthetardis (ellanasan on AO3) too! i don’t usually read many haymitch/effie fics but this one is *so* good! i like the depth it gives effie and how caring and sweet haymitch is with her :') hayffie centric

-

due date by @rosegardeninwinter and @captainseaweedbrainsedbrains (rosegardeninwinter and populardarling on AO3) is incredibly sweet and I haven't actually read part 1 but i will as soon as i have time bc the second part has been so utterly lovely! i dont usually read AU's for THG but this one is wonderful!! everlark centric

-

next we have you're in the nest of vipers now (watch were you step) by @revelationinthelightofday-writes (revelationinthelightofday on AO3). this is a new fic - and i got to it late because my good sister harper never tells me when she's about to drop a masterpiece - but it is SO GOOD! no one gets johanna like she does tbh, *no one*. it's still a wip but i really recommend it because it's just really good and i only had to read 1 chapter to realise! johanna centric

-

we're hollow like the bottles that we drain by thrashunreal on AO3 is so devastating but also so good so i had to add it here! i read it a few weeks back and honestly think back to it every so often and feel very sorry for myself and the characters i love but in the best way possible johanna + finnick centric

-

also net under the ledge by @the-sun-and-the-sea (mdr_24601 on AO3)! a very good piece that I thoroughly enjoyed when I was going through my odesta phase like a week ago!!! odesta

-

our coming of age has come (and gone) by @dxnyarya (maxsgaymusings on AO3)! a very soft and lovely fic! truly truly enjoyed it and I come back to it every so often just to appreciate it! (sidenote, but I just checked out your twitter and we have some of the same mutuals??! it's a small world!) everlark

okay that's it for now! these are all the fics that came to mind but I'll add to this when I read more!!
