#haymitch’s mother

[danyllura]

Haymitch choosing to spend his retirement raising geese, the most volatile, hateful, unfriendly animal there is- is so funny. I know for a fact Katniss and Peeta hear that man cussing out those birds when they attack him for no good reason. He just takes care of them while waiting for the liquor and I know it’s the stress of those unpredictable demon birds keeping him distracted. I bet he also has one that’s particularly mean and prone to attack and he’s named it Katniss.

And when the world needed her the most, SHE RETURNED!!

[gutfaced]

haymitch having to address 4 different deaths for each district on his victory tour. can anybody hear me. haymitch likely having to play the narrative that the deaths of his family were mysterious unsolved murders and to even make it so, partake in the humiliation ritual of public funerals held within the capitol. haymitch having to keep distance from the other victors because he really is a killer and cannot face it. 47 faces and 47 graves dug all because of him. is this thing on. haymitch being forced to mentor tributes he likely knew as classmates or school peers for the first few years of his victory. can you hear me do you understand !!!! haymitch having his games pulled from every possible outlet and blacklisted because of the shocking nature and traitorous way of his win. haymitch likely facing so much scorn amidst all the grief just for surviving. just for making it back home.

did we ever find out if the hanging tree was known by anyone else in 12? katniss learned it from her father, peeta heard mr. e sing it, lucy gray wrote and sang it for only coryo and maude ivory, right? or am i crazy and did she perform it at the hob? was katniss the only person around then in mockingjay who actually knew the song?

SECOND QUARTER QUELL II UPRISING AU

Ok, look. I’m obsessed with Second Quarter Quell generation and I have A LOT of head canons about them. And sometimes these head canons contradict each other, lol. Previously I showed you some of my illustrations about SQQ generation but it was always one particular AU (where they all are kinda friends/classmates?). And I think it’s time to show you another one that I also like. This is AU (or “head canon” since we don’t really know what is real and what is not) where all of them were part of revolutionary movement before the 50th Hunger Games. Some things are the same in both universes (Mr. Hawthorne and Mrs.Mellark are best friends in both, haha), some are completely different (Mr.Mellark and Mrs.Mellark were not in love in “uprising au” and had to marry for the sake of revolution after Mr.M/Mr.E partnership was broken, oh oh, that was super dramatic!). But they look pretty much the same in every AU I have in my head haha. So here are quick portraits of SQQ gen characters and their confident files from D13 before the 50th Hunger Games reaping day (everything went wrong after that, huh).

About Donner sisters. Peeta said that Mr.Mellark described them as “twins or something” and I interpreted this “something” as that they were not identical twins. Katniss was amazed by young Mrs.Undersee and Madge’s similarity but she didn’t have this feeling about Maysilee. So I think they looked like sisters but not super similar to each other. I mean, I’m a mother of identical twins, I know what I’m talking about lol.

These portraits are not perfect and were done quickly but I really tried 😅. Funny fact: overall I have more clear vision of SQQ characters than THG characters, haha (especially young Haymitch, Mr.Everdeen, Hazelle and Mrs.Mellark). Oh, and you have no idea how much time I’ve spent on these files lol. I don’t even know WHY I did it, because obviously no one cares, but this idea lived in my head for far too long. Ugh, I’m finally free of it. And now I need to return to my work and also main series uffffffff.

P.S. “agent Fox” is Haymitch’s girl, but I have no decent head canon for her

P.P.S. I don’t mention any names because I try not to be too attached to particular names for these characters (who knows maybe one day Suzanne will reveal some information and I don’t want to be upset lol)

[uhohdad]

not cod but did y’all see mother suzanne collins is doing a book about haymitch’s games

[notsocooljess]

it’s 5 months away and i’m simply unprepared for sunrise on the reaping. to get further insight into the games katniss and peeta watched in catching fire. to know the people behind “my mother and younger brother. my girl. they were all dead two weeks after i was crowned victor. because of that stunt i pulled with the force field” and the aftermath. i am emotional already

[tryingnotkillanyone]

You know that one ship that has the grumpy, pessimistic, traumatized and addictive person who wears 24/7 monotonous colours and then there's the other one who is a walking rainbow, always smiling, optimistic, but also traumatized?

I'll go first

Haymitch Abernathy and Effie Trinket from Hunger Games

[insignificant457]

me when they’re probably gonna cast a blond guy as haymitch in the sunrise on the reaping movie

[moon-mirage]

Your biblically accurate Haymitch is everything to me, he's my fave character! If you ever wanted to make me cry and take an elaborate request, I'd love to see your take on Haymitch remembering his family/his girl in a half-drunken haze. Or even his devastation after the announcement of the Third Quarter Quell and he's remembering snippets of his Games while drunk at his kitchen table! :'(

So, a happy request for your favourite character then? I love it when people go "X is my favourite character… now make them suffer!" 😂

Now, it’s not like l want to make you cry but since you asked for it:

[madeofjules]

I feel like Peeta, while still getting treatment in the Capitol, called Katniss and Haymitch every day to make sure they were still alive and was SO fed up that neither of them was answering that he spent entire treatment sessions ranting about how he couldn't leave those dang kids alone for one second without them self-destructing until finally Dr. Aurelius couldn't take it anymore and just sent him home

[allisluv]

Ik this one makes no sense whatsoever, but 'Burning Pile' by Mother Mother is somehow very Haymitch vibes. The lyrics nor melody on its own are, but together it just screams Haymitch

-🫥

especially the introduction! i’m not exactly sure what it is about it but it screams haymitch vibes! <3

For the toil that would someday bring their gratitude, and currently gave her misunderstanding.

So I know in the age of the Hunger Games renaissance we have a lot of post-war Katniss and Peeta parenting headcanons however, I’d like to take a moment to talk about their FRIENDSHIPS post war new and old because I love them and they deserve the best support systems.

- One of Greasy Sae’s grandchildren, a scrawny dark-haired man, who asks to be apprenticed in Peeta’s bakery since the coal mines are no longer safe to work in. A quiet man, with a lot of love in his heart for iced cakes, since his daughter likes to look at them in wonder through the glass.

- Johanna Mason and Katniss having four-hour long phone calls AT LEAST once a week.

- a poorer capitol couple who always dreamed of life in a smaller town end up buying one of Victor’s Houses. They’re nervous to say the least, but Peeta helps them settle in the town and Katniss eventually helps them to get comfortable in the woods. When their dog has puppies, the couple gifts them two.

- Gale never returns to District 12, but his siblings, Rory and Posy do. A friendship that’s sparked by reminiscing about cold mornings is now fueled by hot summer evenings, and bonfires, and roasted apples and singing.

- Peeta and Katniss visiting Annie in District three and swimming at the beach with her.

- Delly Cartwright rushing to the bakery to relay the gossip she just happened to hear at the post office.

- Haymitch’s house not being in a fit state, so Katniss and Peeta helping him to host his Senior Veterans’s support group at theirs.

- Speaking of veterans, Katniss’s mother visiting with one, a second-hand ring on her finger. He’s from District 11, a towering battle-scarred soldier but his eyes betray the people he’s lost in his time. His gravelly speaking voice would scare away even the tamest birds, but his hands coax rainbows out of the ground and Katniss is proud of her mother for being happy.

Now, I don’t think Katniss would ever get a full time job, with her mental health and Capitol stipend. I also don’t think she would become a doctor or apothecary, like her mother and sister. But in her late years, when she’s too old for hunting and no need for it anyway, I like to imagine she becomes a midwife. Idk, I think she would have a lovely no-nonsense bedside manner and a deep love for every baby she helps deliver and it is nice to think about. I just weep imagining her helping to deliver Posy’s first baby, or checking up on Newborn mothers around the town with gift baskets full of helping herbs and freshly-baked buns and being a familiar face for everyone in 12.

[katnissmellarkkk]

ever since someone — and unfortunately i cannot remember who — reblogged one of my posts about haymitch and katniss’ relationship with the tags “they don’t have a father/daughter relationship, they have a mother/daughter relationship” i’ve never viewed their dynamic the same way.

[3lectra-he4rt]

“Haymitch this and haymitch that and blah blah BLAH!” This is not ABOUT haymitch! Media propaganda and many controlled by few are the themes. Also, if i want more of anyone it’s Maysilee (Haysilee the og starcrossed lovers). ANDD everyone forgets Katniss’ mother’s involvement! She was best friends with Madge’s mother and Maysilee. I’d love to get to know her more
