Covey Name Ideas

As promised here is my list of Covey-inspired names.

I tried to follow the typical naming convention of the first part of the name being a traditional folk poem or ballad, but I did add some names that differed from the typical names, and still fit the covey vibes. Suggestions appreciated :)

I also posted a list of shades of colors in case some people needed it!

I can almost hear Haymitch groaning as I team up with this wispy child. But I want her. Because she's a survivor, and I trust her, and why not admit it? She reminds me of Prim.

The Hunger Games, Chapter 15, pg 281

Then he'd be a hypocrite, he teamed up with Louella, Lou Lou, Ampert, Maysilee, and Wellie. He followed bunnies and adopted district 6 cus they were dove grey. If anything he's going:

Haymitch: *from the control room* SWEETHEART! PLEASE STOP ACTING LIKE ME! DO BETTER.

did anyone else get the impression that wellie from sotr was a victim of child abuse? of course, the behaviour of a child facing imminent death and suffering would probably be pretty similar to the behaviour of a child who had been abused, but a few things made me think that suzanne wrote her that way on purpose.

first of all, wellie "recoils" as haymitch approaches her to give her his lunchbox after hers was taken by the careers. again, very normal for any child in her circumstances, but more indicative of something deeper when read with other evidence.

she immediately apologizes for the district 6 chariot hurting louella, which was obviously not their fault. she also thanks haymitch for not blaming them. apologizing needlessly and assuming that they will be blamed are both noted behaviours in child abuse victims, especially the latter.

before haymitch goes on for his interview, he promises wellie despite what he might say in the interview, he would never betray the newcomers. he specifically says, "i will never hurt you, okay?" this phrasing is very deliberate, especially since during his interview he never even implies that he would attack or betray the newcomers. wellie claims that she knows, and her eyes are "full of trust". through the lens of my interpretation, this can be taken as wellie clinging to a kind protector that she's never had before.

while her behaviour in the arena can't be taken as any indicator of how she is outside the arena, because she's literally starving to death, her extreme insistence that haymitch doesn't leave her could line up with the rest of my evidence. has she been abandoned, neglected, or left alone before? her immediate assumption is that maysilee abandoned the newcomers, not that she got separated from them by accident. wellie is smart enough to realize this and seems to be a good judge of character; perhaps her assumption was influenced by past neglect.

finally, a couple comparisons can be drawn between wellie and lou lou, who we know was tortured and abused at the hands of the capitol. they are both very thin, prone to intensity, and quiet. while none of these things actually indicate that wellie was abused, the comparison itself matters. it reinforces the idea that these little girls share similarities, and have potentially suffered in similar ways.

also: wellie comes from district 6, which is implied to be suffering from a morphling/opiate epidemic. it is not a far reach to say that her guardian could have been an addict, and consequently an unstable, neglectful, or abusive caregiver.

why collins always be doin’ d9 so dirty?? 😭

When I watched the first Hunger games movie with my family, and I saw Haymitch for the first time. I was like "Ew who is this bitch!? Omg Katniss and Peeta aren't surviving if he's their mentor". And I was disgusted when Haymitch first called Katniss sweetheart because I thought he meant it in a gross way, him being an adult and her being a teenager and all.

Now, I see a man who was stripped of his childhood, a boy who lost his mother and brother in a house fire, a boy who lost his girlfriend to gumdrops HE gave her out of love, a boy who lost his sweetheart, a boy who lost all of his little district 6 ducklings, a boy who lost all his friends to the games, a boy who had nothing left to lose, so he went to drinking alcohol to blind the pain. But when Katniss and Peeta truly need him, he stops drinking and CARES FOR THEM, he LOVES them as if their his children. Because if it weren't for Haymitch, maybe, just maybe, Katniss and Peeta would have become another Haymitch.

I cannot stress enough how willing I am to answer anyone's questions about any of my OC Victors/headcanons about canon Victors. There's always something rattlin' in this brain of mine!

Enjoy!!! <3
