🖇 finnick x katniss prompt

finnick is 18 when he is reaped for the 74th hunger games. all eyes are on him when he chooses the girl from 12 as his ally.

katniss doesn't know exactly what her plan is for the games. honestly, she doesn't think she could win this at all... but she has to try. for prim. and the cocky guy from district four with the most infuriating smile she's ever known... might be her only chance.

(peeta isn't reaped in this AU.)

Thinking about how incredibly brave it was of Suzanne to make the main love interest a kind, sensitive, emotionally intelligent, disabled, stocky blond in 2008 when the trend at the time was skinny, tall, lanky, sarcastic, hates-everyone-but-main character, rageboy. And how absolutely genius it was to have BOTH of those types in the same series and have Katniss choose Peeta. Groundbreaking.

[loungemermaid]

You can’t leave all this in the notes!! Because yes while Katniss spawned an endless stream of “not like other girls” main characters she is like other girls!!! She likes fashion. She doesn’t understand it, but she likes it. She loves the clothes Cinna makes her. But she’s also very practical. She is a fighter. She’s at turns sarcastic and sincere, so heartbreakingly sincere. And Peeta just takes it in stride and is all the more enamored by her for it. He sees her whole personhood and loves it, and is never once threatened by her. She’s a whole complex person.

Obsessed w your everdair fic!

thank you, that's very kind! <3

Hunger Games didn’t really eat holes in my brain the way that it did for some other people but god the opening lines. The opening lines. Katniss wakes up in bed and immediately, instinctively reaches beside her, only to find the bed empty and cold. Before we even know her name – before we know literally anything about her or this world or her place in that world – we know that she loves someone. We know that she is reaching for where Prim should be, sleeping safe and warm beside her, but Prim is not there. She is not there, and her half of the bed is cold and empty. People talk about characters being “doomed by the narrative” when most of the time the character was literally just a well-foreshadowed death, but Prim WAS doomed by the narrative. It’s the very first thing we learned. It’s the most key, integral, important piece of information we’re given about everything that is about to happen: Every single choice Katniss makes is to protect her little sister, and it isn’t enough. In the end, Prim still dies. Prim was dead before the story even started. Katniss, reaching. Prim’s side of the bed was cold and empty. There is no version of this story where Prim could have been saved. Katniss, reaching. The very first thing she does in the series. She wakes, and she reaches, but Prim is already gone. THAT is how you do Doomed By The Narrative. Edit: Also it is key that there was literally nothing Katniss could have done differently. If she had not acted to save Prim, Prim would not have survived the Hunger Games. But by acting to save Prim, Katniss accidentally kicked off an entire rebellion and ultimately massively increased the amount of danger Prim was actually in. The key is that this is irrelevant. If Katniss had done literally anything differently, Prim still would have died. If Katniss had faltered or changed course at any point, Prim still would have died. There was never a point where Katniss could have changed Prim’s fate. There’s no version of this story where Prim lives to see the end of it. She’s dead before the story begins. That’s doomed by the narrative.
