Annie and Finnick wedding aesthetic - ‘so that's who Finnick loves… a poor, mad girl back home’

[brucelinas]

“no one really feels married in District 12 until they've had the toasting”

[disgurrr]

Maybe I'm too into the Everlark Kool-Aid, but I really don't see Katniss marrying anyone other than Peeta. Why? Because of the bread. The bread that gave her so much hope and changed her in such a profound way. I 100% believe that if she married Gale or someone else, she would inevitably think of Peeta when she and her husband-to-be burn bread. She will be reminded of that day. The day that Peeta became the boy with the bread. And everything will just feel wrong. Idk, maybe she'll be the run away bride in that world, searching for him. And Peeta will always be there, hoping and waiting for her.

[lady-corrine]

One of the (many) reasons I deeply dislike the "Annie and Finnick's wedding was only a propaganda move that meant absolutely nothing to anyone" take is that is... simply not accurate?

It is often claimed Plutarch had Finnick and Annie intentionally wear Peeta and Katniss' outfits to send some type of message, but that means to completely ignore how it was Katniss herself that offered to give Annie a dress for her wedding:

“when Plutarch has a fit over what the bride will wear — I volunteer to take Annie back to my house in 12, where Cinna left a variety of evening clothes in a big storage closet downstairs.”

How Peeta himself also made their wedding cake:

“As surely as the embroidery stitches in Annie’s gown were done by Cinna’s hand, the frosted flowers on the cake were done by Peeta’s.”

And to also disregard how everyone else felt and how happy and excited they were to be part of it:

“When it’s announced that children are wanted to sing District 4’s wedding song, practically every kid shows up. There’s no shortage of volunteers to help make decorations. In the dining hall, people chat excitedly about the event.”

All in all, it means to brush aside how everyone perceived their wedding as simply something good, genuinely so, and nothing linked to a false spectacle:

“Maybe it’s more than the festivities. Maybe it’s that we are all so starved for something good to happen that we want to be part of it.”

This is kinda how I imagined the mockingjay dress. Will probably draw it from a different of angle too cause I don’t really like the result.

But what do you guys think?

[madlymadeleine]

ladies and gentlemen… THEM ‼️

i can’t believe i haven’t drawn gadge until now omg. also it’s supposed to be madge holding flowers behind her back, but it kinda looks like they’re just sprouting randomly hehe

[katnissmellarkkk]

inspired by reading @thegreenthepeacetheorange’s mockingjay reread.

this is probably just me but this line

A chill runs through me. Am I really that cold and calculating? Gale didn’t say, “Katniss will pick whoever it will break her heart to give up,” or even “whoever she can’t live without.” Those would have implied I was motivated by a kind of passion. But my best friend predicts I will choose the person who I think I “can’t survive without.” There’s not the least indication that love, or desire, or even compatibility will sway me. I’ll just conduct an unfeeling assessment of what my potential mates can offer me. As if in the end, it will be the question of whether a baker or a hunter will extend my longevity the most.

because why does katniss truly still identity peeta as a baker???? they’re in the middle of an actual war, like 50 percent of the people katniss has ever met in her entire life are dead, everyone’s stuck in a tiny hidden basement without a shower and peeta was literally a prisoner of the other side for weeks, if not months. when was the last time that boy baked anything, let alone enough to be called a baker???? 😭😭😭😭

chaff surviving and living in time for post-war domesticalities with his drinking partner/husband and finally being comfortable enough to get a prosthetic to hold said husband is very important to me. they're sundozing until 2pm they're watching the sunset on a roof top they're outside napping on the garden porch. they're getting sober together and they sure as hell are getting a proper wedding sometime soon.

Hi 🌲

I couldn't stop thinking about Johanna and reader getting married. I think Johanna would randomly propose (so random she may propose after a nap).

At the wedding I imagine it would just be reader, Johanna, and their pets.

In the book, each district seems to have a wedding tradition, so I think in District 7, they may plant a tree to symbolize their growing love. Since they use rope to help climb trees, maybe they could tie a knot in a rope, with each of them holding an end to symbolize their trust in one another and how their lives are now intertwined.

And the next time she sends a letter to Finnick, Katniss, or Haymitch, she'll just attach a picture of her and reader in their wedding gowns with a note saying, "l got married, by the way"

I would love if you could do some headcanons or a one-shot about it, but even so, I wanted to share it with you because I couldn't stop thinking about it

this is going to be a ramble, soz, but i'll definitely add it to my list for a one shot idea.

words can't describe how much i love this idea, thank you so much for sharing it with me! honestly, i agree with everything you said, because i love the idea of johanna and you having a really private and intimate wedding, and the thought of her just mailing everyone a photo of the ceremony as a kind of, "oh yeah, by the way, here's what happening in my life recently." but in reality, honestly, i think the two of you would have your own private ceremony and then like, a nice little gathering with the remaining victors (and finnick because, he's definitely raising his son in district four, i don't know what everyone else is talking about. mutts? what mutts?). i just love the idea of their being like a first dance or something, and johanna and reader are gazing into each other's eyes so lovingly, and everyone's swooning over them (well just peeta and annie, i can't really see the others swooning over them, tbh). but if you and johanna want to, you'll have a quiet ceremony for just the two of you. either way, she doesn't mind. as long as she has you.

also, for the wedding tradition, that's literally so creative??? give me your brain please, because you have come up with some of the best prompts i've ever received, and now you've given me another banging one. i think that johanna wouldn't really be into that kind of stuff, she's not a very traditional kind of girl, but you'd be super into it so of course she'd pretend to love the idea as well. the tying of the rope kind of reminds me of the greek wedding crowns, where they're joined by a ribbon i think (idk much about greek weddings, tbh, i've only seen my big fat greek wedding and i remember that scene.) i think that's such a cute wedding tradition, and secretly johanna would love it because she's terrified of losing you, that physically tying you to her makes her feel comforted. the rope symbolises a lot more than just a union, it symbolises a connection that the two of you will always have.

for the tree idea, i think it would be one of those traditions where johanna would find it extremely corny, but because you find it endearing she doesn't say a single thing. she's on her knees, getting dirt under her fingernails with you just so she could plant this tree with you. if you needed a physical symbol of your growing love, then she'd give it to you, because you'd offered her more than she could ever repay you for. safety, comfort, contentment. you were home to her, and she wanted to show you how much she loved and trusted you in whatever way possible.

i can see wedding dresses going either way, tbh. you both wear one, or johanna wears a suit while you wear a dress, or vice versa. hell, i could even see one where you both wear suits. i don't think they'd be white though. white would remind johanna of snow and torture, so i could imagine like a red for her—purely because it would match her hair. and then for you, like a deep rich green, for the forest and the trees. (omg, i just realised those are christmas colours, but honestly, i don't think panem even has christmas, so it's just a bit of fun for us).

honestly, the wedding is set in the backyard, among nature. that's the vibe for the whole ceremony—people there or not. it's got a rustic, woodsy atmosphere and the two of you love it because it is just so, intrinsically, home. bonus points if johanna's saved the pinecones and all the stuff katniss got her in mockingjay, and made a little display with it.

as for the proposal (probably should have started off with this, lol, oh well), if it was by you, you'd have gone all out (not in a public way, but more of a romantic dinner or date way) and planned it to a 't'—and while johanna appreciates the effort and love you put into it, she'd love a more intimate proposal. and what's more intimate than when lying in bed together, watching the drool spill from your mouth as you snore slightly and take up most of the bed? she'd shake you awake and propose to you there, realising that she wanted to see that sight every morning when she woke up.

[atelierlili]

look me in the eye and tell me these arent Katniss coded??!! She'd make a dandelion on for herself and Peeta can have one with Katniss Blossoms.

[leulahart]

i've been doodling around trying to figure out katniss so here is a little idea of her wedding dress/second interview outfit

[lady-corrine]

Finnick and Annie's wedding as an act of resistance through joy and love; as an open defiance for all the people that expected to see only death and destruction, for Finnick's clients/abusers who felt they were entitled to him (see the way they fainted when he recited his love poem for Annie all thinking they were his one true love), for Snow who saw him as his possession to trade to the highest bidder, who most probably wanted to do the same to Annie, who seeked to control their whole lives and keep their relationship a secret; their wedding as a symbol for rebellion through love and happiness and dance and music and cake >>>>

gif/photoset for my fic, All That You Can Do which is an AU of my other fic, Close Your Eyes

unusual fic-specific prompts ask game (still open!)

Gifmaker's Notes: (spoilers for my oc fics below)

I love the prompt being like "a picture's worth a thousand words," and then I just… explain the main theme with text.

I did try to also explain the theme through visuals too! The pictures/gifs try to focus on the idea of butterfly effect ripple that happens.

Artemisia mentors Brandy instead of Arachne which causes Artemisia to feel more empathy towards the Districts. (Also she tries at that and fails.)

Festus, well, I had a hard time coming up with what to put for Festus. His involvement in the story was very relationship based. He mediates between Felix and Artemisia and indirectly helping mediates between the Creeds and Diana (Ravinstill, my other oc). Focusing on the latter idea, I paired him with money, because Diana's whole beef with the Creeds in the main timeline is over her inheritance.

Felix gets paired with the Capitol to symbolize his complicated relationship with the his family and the city they (namely his great-uncle, built). Also being paired with "even if you don't succeed" because the Capitol/his family failing him in a way but in some ways, he feels he's failed them too. Felix and failure go hand-in-hand in my head (I had to bully him in the aesthetic too apparently)

Teapot and cup are meant to symbolize Diana Ravinstill (and her poisoning of Coin). Annie and Finnick at their wedding and Prim and Katniss being the gif in color is meant to work around having to find a faceclaim for Diana around 50-60 years old but also pull away from the Ravinstill-Creed family drama and the final murder of the fic. Instead, we focus on the good that their choosing to try be better does! (Finnick and Prim getting to live. I just used the wedding footage, because I have to work with what I have if giffing Felix and Festus in their Academy outfits didn't make that obvious.)

Overall, I did my best, but I'm unsure how I feel about it, need more distance from me making it to decide. (But I suppose according to this very thing, all that I can do is my best so... haha)

Wedding Traditions by District

District 12

Back home everything is so much simpler. A woman usually rents a white dress that’s been worn hundreds of times. The man wears something clean that’s not mining clothes. They fill out some forms at the Justice Building and are assigned a house. Family and friends gather for a meal or bit of cake, if it can be afforded. Even if it can’t, there’s always a traditional song we sing as the new couple crosses the threshold of their home. And we have our own little ceremony, where they make their first fire, toast a bit of bread, and share it. Maybe it’s old-fashioned, but no one really feels married in District 12 until after the toasting.

District 4

Dalton, the cattle guy from 10, conducts the ceremony, since it’s similar to the one used in his district. But there are unique touches of District 4. A net woven from long grass that covers the couple during their vows, the touching of each other’s lips with salt water, and the ancient wedding song, which likens marriage to a sea voyage.

Title: The Boy with the Bread.

Summary: Finally accepting things.

Part 5

-----------------------------------------------------------

His hands were cold, I hated them. I hated the way his breath tickled my face as he was only inches apart from my face. I hated the way his hands felt on my body, they were wrong, they felt wrong, they didn’t hold me in the way Peeta’s did. I hated myself.

The sun had set by the time we arrived back at his house. I forced out a goodbye, and quickly headed home. Where I layed on my bed thinking about how I hate everything, Peeta, Katniss, Gale, and me. Why couldn’t I just forget about him? Why was my entire life falling apart just because he left me?

When the sun rose, I forced myself to find my place in life and I tried so hard to fit into that place. Gale had begun to distance himself from me, and I understood why what happened in those woods was not something either of us were ready for. But It hurt to be alone going through everything, he still had a connection to her, she still wanted him in her life, she wanted to fight for him. It wasn’t fair but I had shed enough tears and screamed enough for one lifetime over it.

I was forcing myself to heal and pretend like every step I took didn’t feel like I was dying. Like the slighted brush of wind wouldn’t topple me over. I was going to build my life back up, I was going to become whole again even if it killed me. Going to work selling my paint wasn't something that was profitable and wouldn't put food on the table, so I went into the mines and took out the tesseract. To be able to feed my family, I couldn’t be weak and crying all the time.It was cruel to my family and we couldn’t afford it.

That was when I had received the news.

Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mallark were getting married.

He was getting married, and it wasn’t to me. Of course I knew that we were over and that we would never get back together but it never really felt this real. We had once talked about marriage, the home we would make together, whether we would take in children or not. The life we promised each other after we aged out of the reaping before he was chosen, before he fell in love with someone else. I thought that I would feel pain and betrayal, maybe even anger but instead I felt nothing.

The wedding tour was beautiful, I had seen clips of it, everything was perfect from what I saw Peeta looked so happy as did Katniss. I was happy for them for the first time since the games. I felt nothing but acceptance. The burning pain of being not enough was gone. It was like my mind and body finally decided to let go of everything, let go of Peeta and the thought of not being with him didn’t bring unrelenting pain instead it brought an understanding that I never once thought possible.

It was a weird feeling, I loved him I don’t think I would ever stop loving him but I was ok. Although I would have been fine not seeing him again I couldn’t leave things alone, I could let that argument be the last thing I ever say to him.

I was going to see Peeta for the last time, and I was ok with that.
