District 12 ୨୧ Post-war love story
Hiya, feel free to call me any one of those three names above!
For privacy reasons, I will not be revealing my real name or my other blog.
I'm Katniss Everdeen's girl, y'know, the girl on fire? Also the sweetheart of Haymitch Abernathy, Panem's cherished charmer.
I'm a proud self-shipper/yume shipper who is here to gush, yap, and make friends!
Here is my carrd for more info about me and my relationships.
This blog is about my relationships with Katniss & Haymitch, our story, our past, and the future for us. I have many other f/os, but I will keep them a secret. So secret, if we share, I won't even tell you!
I am non-sharing with Katniss and Haymitch.
For all of my tags to explore, please see the index!

Please refrain from following me if you're a minor, I'm an adult and I will talk about adult things, including NSFW. I also just don't tend mingle with minors...
Katniss and I are both adults. Our current life/my headspace take place post-war. I will say though, for the sake of my own comfort, any of our past history I generally age us up because of the content of the story.
I fell in love with Katniss at 17 years old IRL, so we kind of grew up together ♥. Just so you all know. It's been a long 6 years coming, it's high time we admit our love to each other!
Katniss & Haymitch to me are native american, as am I. Please respect this!
I DO NOT SHIP WITH MOVIE KATNISS OR HAYMITCH! MY KATNISS & HAYMITCH ARE FROM THE BOOKS! (I do love the movies and jlaw/woody but...native katniss is my bae...and dark curly-haired haymitch is my man)
I will also warn, I hate Peeta & Lenore Dove. Not because they are my f/os love interests, haha, no-- it's their characters. I despise them, in fact. I could rant about them all day-- but I will just warn you about that. If you ship with either of them, great! Keep them away from my babes. Just be aware that I have very harsh opinions about them in general and I will probably rant about it here. I'm still always open to hearing other THG shippers/yumes love stories and ideas! Maybe you can change my mind.

Thank you for reading! I am actively looking for self-ship/yume ship friends. Please follow/interact with me!!! I am not new to the community, so please, if we haven't met, please join me in gushing about our loved ones!
some cutie moodboards i made last year! back when my aesthetic was different lol, i change it up all the time...
the first one was a template, it was (from left to right, top to bottom) hobby, color, outfit, drink, character, food, nails, place, flower. leviathan and i are pretty similar, we both love video games and milk tea! he likes spicy rainbow pizza, and i love ramen! and we both always hang out in his room together :3c for the flowers, i picture his to actually be the mad acacia, but i didn't have a photo of it, so i just chose a burgundy anemone for him. they're symbolic of deep, passionate love, protection, and anticipation! and we have exactly that, but also i think he's very passionate and protective. idk, it felt very fitting! and then my favorite flower is a tulip lol, i love all kinds but the pink, yellow and white ones are my favorites!
the second (third image) one was just our aesthetics kinda! my favorite colors are actually green, orange and yellow lol (but i do like pink and blue too!), and his are purple and orange! :) he loves orange flavored things, i love matcha, and i like to believe in the red string of fate theory, which is an invisible, unbreakable thread connecting individuals destined to be soulmates or share a significant life connection. even though leviathan and i are technically separated by universes right now, our souls were absolutely meant to be together, and we've definitely been together in a past life (or maybe two? three? who knows!). i know we will be truly together again one day.
the last one, is just us physically! i've got brown hair with a purple gradient, green eyes, and i always have winged eyeliner! he's got purple hair, orange-violet eyes, and the cutest smile!! we love aquatic life, and love going on aquarium dates together. we also love milk tea, and love taking silly pictures together!
anyways WOW that was a lot of rambling just over moodboards, SORRY LOL anyways if you read this far, THANK YOU for caring about me and my silly husband!
After wiping her feet on the mat directly in front of his door, uneven and clearly used, she approached Haymitch at his kitchen table. The usual spread was there, bottles upon bottles, glasses of various sizes and quality, some shattered and one clutched in his right hand.
"Haymitch," She said.
He was out, again.
"Haymitch," She tried again, to no avail. She put a gentle hand on his shoulder, and without obvious warning, he awoke, swishing a knife she hadn't seen in his other hand within his lap. The one he always had kept on him.
She knew this, so upon him attempting to strike what he assumed was an unknown intruder, she stepped back just far enough.
"Haymitch! It's me, please," She pleaded, watching him come to, frustratingly out of it. His eyes focused, and he frowned.
"Sorry, sweetheart. Thought you were somebody else..." He said, his voice tired and depressed.
"You don't have to be sorry, I'm just worried about you," She said, "I haven't seen you in days again, and you missed our plans." A frown appeared on her face.
"Ah, shit. I'm sorry-- we can just reschedule I just forgot--"
"No it's fine, just don't even worry about it." She says, defeated. "You don't have to worry about it." She repeated, to herself or him she didn't know.
His face dropped, along with his eyebrows, confused. He stood up, dusting himself off as if it was doing anything tangible to his awful appearance.
"Sweetheart, what's going on? Why are you acting like that?"
"Like what? Like I'm watching you drink yourself to death? I'm sorry but I just...I can't keep seeing you this way, Haymitch. I'm worried about you." She said, finally. Her eyes were already glossy, in the way that Haymitch already knew she was going to cry, as every time she had cried to him, her face went red, including the skin around her eyebrows.
He stood there, his eyes fell to the floor then back up again. He was thinking, because he really didn't want to break her heart with what he really wanted to say, his awful thoughts, the ones he repeats every day to keep him where he is.
"You don't understand, sweetheart. You don't gotta worry about me, I promise." He said.
"I do, Haymitch, I really do. Because one of these days I'm going to check in on you-- and you know I will-- and I will find you here and I'll have to come to terms with the fact that you couldn't bear to stay here any longer." She cried, her voice was already gone and her tears, as big as they were, already fell to the floor and down her face. "I cannot do that, I can't. It already breaks my heart to see you this way, and I'm trying to be gentle and kind about it-- to not push you and to just support you-- but I-"
She changed, something cracked within her. She sounded more angry now, which was not something she ever was. Her temper was rare, something people really only saw if something especially was bothering her.
"No, you know what? You're going to stop, right now. No more. I know you're tired of it too, even if you won't tell me." She said, with resolve.
"Sweetheart--"
She had already begun her rampage, opening his kitchen window and chucking bottles out into the snow. He approached her, and grabbed her arm gently.
"If you know any better, Haymitch, you'll let go." She said, yanking herself away, throwing a bottle of white liquor outside.
His face went from amused to something she couldn't read.
"Why are you doing this, be honest with me? I get your point but must you throw out all the liquor?" He said in his usual charmer tone, trying to deescalate the situation.
"Because you won't help yourself, and I want you to feel better." She said, facing him. Clutching another empty bottle in her hand. "I have to do this." Another stray tear streamed down her red cheeks. Her cheeks were wet with them now, she instinctively wiped her nose on her jacket sleeve.
"No, you don't. What's going on, be honest with me." His voice got low, serious. "You know I'm like this, you have known actually, so why now? Are you just that sick of me?" There was hurt in his voice, that defensive tone that kept people out.
"I'm never sick of you, actually. If you haven't noticed I try checking on you every single day to make sure you eat and drink something other than alcohol-- to check your pulse when you're passed out to make sure you haven't died on me yet." She spat.
"Oh I do notice, sweetheart, I notice it every time because each time-- I tend to hate myself more because that I have a poor girl who doesn't know any better trying to take care of a lost cause. You don't understand what happens to people when they try to care about me, do you?"
"I understand that you have no idea just how much I feel, Haymitch. You have no earthly idea how much I don't care about how much you don't want people around. You can try to push me away but I will push harder, and I will still come here and take care of you, whether you hate yourself or not. I don't care if lightening strikes me down because of it either, because you feel worth it to me, Haymitch, do you understand that?" She said, pointing at him, frustrated tears spilling even more.
"What are you trying to say?" He asked.
"What do you mean?" She said, suddenly realizing her implications.
"I mean, what are you trying to imply here, sweetheart?" He steps closer, looking down at her as she avoids his eye contact.
"I'm saying that I just care about you, that's it. It's not complicated."
"Sweetheart..." He started, "People who 'just care' don't say things like that. They would turn tail and run after seeing this place, after dealing with me for more than five minutes. It is complicated."
"I wouldn't do that to you."
"I know you wouldn't."
"So then what's your point?"
"There's something that you're not telling me, sweetheart."
"If you already know, then why don't you say it?"
"Because I need to hear you say it."
"Why?"
"I can't say it until I know for sure, until I hear you say it."
They met eyes, and suddenly the room felt all too still.
"But what if-- what if what I'm thinking of isn't what you--" She was cut off, his hands landing just below her jaw, around the back of her neck, and pulled her toward him, his lips on hers. He doesn't push it, making it quick enough to still see her eyes open from shock when he pulls back.
"Does that solve it for you, sweetheart?"
"Y-yeah, I think it does..." Her face was bright red now, burning to where she was nearly purple from all the blood flow to her cheeks.
"So? What is it that you feel for me, darling?" He smirks, that stupid half grin that had always made her swoon in silence.
She furrowed her brows, and crossed her arms. She turned slightly and looked at him, trying to act indignantly. He laughs, a short near cackling laugh.
"Shut up! Oh my god, you're so--"
"So what? huh? Oh you're turning purple now-"
"Be quiet! I love you, okay? I love you Haymitch Abernathy, and I have since-- I don't even know! and you're stupid for making me do this!" She yelled, pushing his chest, with no real power behind it.
"There it is..." He said, softly. He wrapped his arms around her, and without any resistance, he felt her arms wrap around him immediately. Losing all previous anger for him. "I love you too, sweetheart," He places a kiss on her head, like it was something he did every day. "I have probably since, well, 'I don't even know' too. It's okay."
She sighed into his neck, the tension in her body releasing as they stood there. He swayed lightly, keeping his arms around her tight and reassuring-- not letting go until she did. She looked up at him, still pink.
"Thank you, Haymitch."
"For what?"
"For loving me too." she said, simply. With some hesitation, she kissed his cheek, holding him in place. His scruff was rough on her palms, but all the more comforting.
"Didn't plan on it," he said, "Part of me didn't want to...all of me actually. But you opened me right up these past two years, sweetheart. I didn't think I deserved this, or you."
"Well, you do deserve me, I promise. You truly have no idea how much I love you, Haymitch. The way that I see you...I wish I could show you just how amazing you are."
"well...maybe you can," he gave me that stupid grin again, and she knew what he was implying. She hit his chest again, even more playfully. "Y'know, our tension was palpable, maybe we should do some...releasing of said tension."
"Not until I give you a bath, upstairs, c'mon." She started ushering him up the stairs after turning him around manually.
"What am I, a dog?" He said, with fake indignance.
"Yes, actually, Mr. Abernathy, now get a move on. I might wanna see you naked again if you play your cards right."

OH. OKAY HARD HITTING QUESTION. Esp since Connor has all of 3 facial expressions LMAO so I got a lot to choose from. Here we go some just off the top of my head.
His profile! His back! His puppy dog eyes! His widdle 😉 and his resting 😐 face! AHHHH, I love him. He's so sksnkwmslwlsm! GAAAHH.

And most beautiful man I've ever seen aggression.

Ashen steps you trace,

now there is hope for you and me.
Through twigs and branches,
flowers and fields
burning flame.
It is you I choose
my mockingjay.
Yay! I got all of these done finally. It's Katniss, me and Haymitch! In some cute chibi style I just made up. I wanna make more proper full body art of all of us soon, but for now, here we go! I really like how they turned out. Aren't we cute???
The motifs present are: The butterfly clip given to me by Haymitch, and the scarf that Katniss gave me! In this drawing of myself though, I have both when typically I'd only have one from either of them given the canon I'm talking about. So there's a fun fact!
katniss says hi she's very confused on what your man is but she's supportive.
HEY BESTIE (Too soon? Is that cool)
2. Do you and your partner have any pets at home? if so, please introduce them! Name and pictures are so encouraged!
Yes! Connor and I have a cat named Pixel. He's a beautiful, fluffy ragdoll that looks something like this!
Don't worry, Connor still gets his dog fix when we babysit Sumo, which is often, and he's learned the joys of being a cat dad!
3. Show us you and your partner's pajama preferences! This can be a description or a set of pictures.
I'm always in a pair of panties and either a tank top or an oversized shirt. I hate restrictive clothes in bed. Even in winter, I'ma just pile the blankets on and call it a day, no pants or socks ever! Connor is banned from wearing shirts to bed. Rest mode is not to be entered until his android boobs are OUT! but he has an assortment of sweat pants and plain pj pants he circles through. I GUESS he can keep those.
7. How does cooking go for you and your partner? Who's the chef and who's the grateful customer? Or do you both spend wayyy too much money on food services? Alternatively, does your partner even eat?
I used to basically live off of delivery apps because I hate cooking. I'm not good at it, it's tedious, and quite frankly half the time I just would put off eating all together. Connor on the other hand, like most things he can do, is stupidly good at it and has appointed himself my chef™ Not that he minds, but mostly he was horrified by my lack of self care and decided that wasn't going down anymore on his watch. He on the other hand, doesn't eat. Androids be like. So that means he gets to spoil me and always just make what I want. It's pretty great.
3. Show us you and your partner's pajama preferences! This can be a description or a set of pictures.
Oooh! Such a good one to think about. I'll be doing this for Haymitch!
Typically, if it was Haymitch's choice, he'd fall asleep in whatever he was wearing at the time. His tolerance for dirty clothes has increased by a huge amount due to his alcoholism, but thankfully he lets me take good care of him.
When I come along and we get together, this changes. I make sure he's dressed for bed to help him build a better routine! I make sure he wears comfortable sweaters, or button down pajamas. If it's truly my choice though? No shirt!!! Only his chest hair and a dream.
For his bottoms, they're always gonna be something comfortable, usually pants. He doesn't wear shorts that much anymore, he's sort of averse to them nowadays. He has a lot of scars all over his body from his games. It's either comfortable semi-oversized pants, or he's in his undies. (Better for me, once again.)
Do you and your partner have a routine together, whether day or night? Or is it more of a ‘as it comes’ type of life for you?
Katniss has a pretty solid routine. She wakes early typically, goes outside before I even wake up. She often tries to go hunting or she'll just go somewhere in the woods to just think/be there. Sometimes she'll check on snares and such, gather some natural herbs/plants for whatever we might need. Or she goes flower picking and wakes me up with a new bunch for me to dry <3
That's usually when she wakes me, and I'm usually pretty groggy or even grumpy-- I have a thing where if I don't wake up on my own and have to be woken up, I'm usually pretty grumpy no matter who it is-- I'm trying to be better about it!!! But she's good at getting me into a better mood at the start of the day. She'll make me my tea to help me get started.
I usually am the one who makes us breakfast, unless we have leftover food from the night before. I always make sure she eats a lot, because she's always moving around and trying to keep busy.
Then we both tend to take care of the animals after that, we have three cats so we make sure they're all fed and watered, and that's when we typically let out our Savannah cat, Prissy, to go outside. She's an outdoor cat mainly, likes to join Katniss on her hunts since she's mostly wildcat. She also takes care of most of the vermin that come around!
Then we just continue on with our day!
Our night routine is just settling down, I make a good dinner, make sure she warms up because district 12 is usually always cold at night. I take off her jacket when she gets in, take off her boots for her, and give her a big ol' kiss!
We spend a lot of time together at night, consisting of me yapping mostly about anything, her joining me in my nightly crafts/art endeavors, and sitting by the fireplace. Then we settle down and get into our jammies! Sleep goes easier now that the war is over/the hunger games are gone.
We both used to have absolutely horrible sleeping troubles, still do at times yes, but it's much better now. We both still have nightmares, but it's easier now that we have each other! So we just cuddle up for the night, and try our best to sleep!
3. Show us you and your partner’s pajama preferences! This can be a description or a set of pictures.
I don't have any pictures since the era/world they live in, pajamas are more practical and less cute unfortunately and I can't find any good references!! I'll probably draw them at some point.
Katniss typically wears either a sweater or a tank top, simple and dark. Either black or dark green. For bottoms she will almost always wear comfortable baggy pants low on her hips, but if it's especially hot in the summer which is more rare than you'd think in district 12, then she's busting out the shorts for sleep. She also always wears socks to sleep unless it's hot out.
For me it just depends. I have a few staples because autism. I have a few nightgowns, but I mostly lean toward a sweater and pants combo. Or the absolute opposite, shorts and a tank top. It depends on how bothered I am with the heat/cold. I kick off my socks when I get into bed almost every single night, and Katniss usually picks them up in the morning while I'm still out cold. <3
Hi!!! I saw the new ask game you did, it's so lovely so I'll be leaving an ask!
8. What are the vibes in your living spaces with your partner? Do you live together, or separately? How do you decorate with them?
-@dreamshipsxoxo (my selfship blog! )
8. What are the vibes in your living spaces with your partner? Do you live together, or separately? How do you decorate with them?
I'll answer this for Katniss!!!
So we live in a nice house, in my mind, after the bombing of District 12, my house was one of the only that remained. It's the same layout as every other house in the victor's village. So, we repaired it where we could, made new things, and made it truly our own.
It's rustic looking after the war, looks like she's been through it. Still has wildlife growing all around it. We will throw seeds we find around the yards, front and back, just to see what grows. There's a large tree nearby that we often use as a place for our alone time outside of the house. It overlooks a meadow that was exposed after the trees were blown away (very sad, but beautiful at the same time).
Inside, we have a nice kitchen and living space right as you walk in. Nice stairs that lead up to the only bathroom, study, and bedroom. The fireplace is downstairs where we also have an area for our three cats!
Katniss will bring in broken tree branches she finds while out on her hunts for our kitties too. We replace them as they shred them up, keeps the claws nice and tended to! Good enrichment too!
Most of the decor is simple, but homey. Blankets, pillows, lovely embroidered curtains, dishes that match our kitchen. Small luxuries that we enjoy in our humble home.
Katniss also like to put up my paintings, she insists on it, actually. She says she likes seeing them up and about, makes her happy! I'll catch her observing them when she thinks I'm not watching. It's very sweet of her!
Any and all flowers she brings me, I dry them and I display them in some way shape or form. We have lots in our kitchen with our herbs as well!
AHHH! My first art gift! Thank you sm to @theseamsweethearts, you're the best!
Im so excited! I didn't have any art of me and Connor before, so this is my first 💙 which makes it extra special. Including our anniversary in the second one was such a good detail.
Please go give @theseamsweethearts a follow, she's super sweet! Thanks again, June Bug!
TYSM FOR THE ASK!!! I'm late in answering...I'm so sorry to you and connor I will be more timely next time <3 promise
13. What quote or scene from your f/o's canon lives in your head rent free?
"I’m the first to admit I’m not much of a cook. But since soup mainly involves tossing everything in a pot and waiting, it’s one of my better dishes."
