Can you make a link to zoomorphic!Everlark and like any other tags you have, like racoons!Katniss, etc...

I shall try! truthfully I am so bad at keeping all of them in one place BUT I will add the all the tags I can think of in the tags on this post! (and then I will see if I can make a masterpost from there/consolidate it all under #zoomorphic!thg)

Alrighty, so I have finally gained back my confidence and energy to post this, could have done it yesterday, but...

Anyway! Mouse!Peeta and Fox!Katniss for everyone! Heavily inspired from the headcanons of @rosegardeninwinter ! Honestly, I’ve always loved drawing characters as animals, partially cause I’ve always preferred that than people, but it gives me a chance to explore different appearances and looks of the characters!

I have also included Warrior Cats! Peeta and Katniss! They were drawn back in December when I was officially done with my finals in Uni but was more of a self-fascination with both series and wanted to explore drawing Everlark as cats! Nothing like turning your favs into animals to let out your feelings of them~

The Fox Bride by luciole

"You hid yourself from me too," he murmurs, stretching out his own fingers to brush the deerskin over my ribs. "In feathers and fur and skins and snow. Did you think I wouldn't want you if I thought we were different species? That I wouldn't love you with all my heart if you were a bird or a doe or the moon herself? Or," he wonders, quieter still, "was it so I wouldn't realize that you loved me in return?"

important nicknames in the post Mockingjay universe

Katniss and Peeta aren’t very into nicknames 

because I think, after all that time spent in the moniker-loving Capitol, it’s enough just to hear their own name spoken tenderly 

but nonetheless that does not stop me from headcanoning the occasional “love” or “dearest” (that one a bit more playful, most of the time) and sometimes, though rarely “darling” 

and then we have the animal nicknames, because I can’t help myself 

pretty vixen or little vixen 

granted, in modern terms, I think vixen could be something of a sexist sort of nickname, but Peeta couldn’t mean it more genuinely or sweetly 

mouse

minx 

and the children 

oh heavens do the children have a lot of nicknames

fox kit(s)

little mouse (mice)

willow catkin 

apple blossom 

jackrabbit

troublemakers  

baby girl 

sweet boy 

my sunlight 

it’s sort of a miracle the kids learned their actual names 

those are just my silly, self-indulgent thoughts - yours?

Some more vixen Katniss and mouse Peeta please

you know my weak spot … 

Industrious as a mouse her husband might be, but quiet as one, he is not. She wakes to the sound of knuckles bumping around inside their armoire drawers, prosthetic foot clicking on the floor. He is no doubt trying to be considerate, but he is not succeeding. 

She groans and turns onto her side, scowling at him as she rubs her eyes. He glances over at her and winces. “Morning.” 

“Why are you up this early?” 

“Had an itch to make you honey cake for breakfast.” 

“Don’t try and placate me with food,” she complains, but the prospect of honey cake is an admittedly tempting one. 

“Don’t you know?” he laughs, shimmying a sweater over his head. “The fastest way to appease a fierce vixen is with scraps.” 

“If I were a vixen,” she says, remembering their conversation in the glade last night, “I’d snap you right up, impertinent mouse, to teach you a lesson about disturbing a wild thing in her den.” 

“I said fierce, but I didn’t say wild.” He climbs up onto the bed and pins her on her stomach.  She tries to glare at him over her shoulder, but the twitch of her mouth betrays her. “You’re quite domesticated.” 

“I must be, if I let a mouse catch me. How did you manage? I’d hardly notice you scurrying around my paws.” 

“I am an exceedingly patient mouse. I could’ve waited forever for my love to trust me.” 

She softens at that, her body sinking contentedly into the bed, annoyance uncoiling from her spine. You wouldn’t have had to is unspoken in the action. 

“And never forget, cheeky vixen,” he adds in a whisper, with a sharp nip to her ear that makes her laugh and squirm, “you’re not the only creature in this forest who can bite.”

Baby blue eyes & baby's breath

Baby blues already done here! 

Baby’s Breath - purity, love, modesty, beauty, attracts fairies 

(your talk of mouse!peeta and fox!katniss also inspired this one because I can’t get enough of that) 

“look!” / a gold-green light glows for a blink in the grove / where two children / (because aren’t they? can’t they be, just for a while?) / are lying on a picnic blanket / fingers sticky with wild berries / watching dusk come in / deepening the shadows of the trees / coaxing out the - 

“fireflies!” Katniss gasps “I used to love fireflies!” / “used to?” / as two more, then six, then twelve appear / “before I understood that fireflies meant summer meant the reaping” she explains, quietly but without the usual edge of pain / pain is far from this place / “tell me” Peeta says / turning onto his side and running his hand down her ribcage and stomach as she speaks / smoothing out the carmine dress she’s wearing / patterned with white blossoms / baby’s breath he thinks / she’s brought those to him before 

“my father told me” she reminisces “that they weren’t bugs at all / he told me they were fairies that lived deep in the mountains for most of the year / but in summer / came down into the forest for a dance”  

“I love your father’s stories” her boy sighs “they must have made your home so bright” / “they did” she says “they do” / “tell me another?” / she considers / then smiles, props herself up on her arms to look slyly down at him

“once upon a time” she says “there was a sharp-toothed vixen / a she fox / with a long red tail and delicate paws / she was the best hunter in the woods / and all the mice and rabbits and squirrels feared her”

“I’m sure they did” he laughs / “well” she goes on “all the mice and rabbits and squirrels but one / one tiny, bold mouse had the audacity to fall in love with the sharp-toothed vixen”

“the audacity, hmm?” / “the very nerve of him” she agrees “he would bring her flowers / some flowers four times his size / and he thought nothing of her sharp teeth and claws” / “I think he rather liked them” he teases, bringing a hand to trace her mouth / she nips at him playfully 

“and did he manage to win her over with the flowers?” he asks / “not with the flowers, no” she says, shaking her head “but one, cold, awful winter / when the vixen was sad alone in her nest / the brave mouse found her / curled up right beside her heart

‘what are you doing here, little mouse?’ the vixen asked ‘don’t you know I could hurt you?’ / ‘I don’t care’ said the mouse ‘I’m going to stay right here until spring comes, curled beside your heart to keep you warm’”

“and in the spring?” he asks / “in the spring” she says “the vixen realized she wanted nothing so much as the company of the brave little mouse in her nest / and when the snow melted / she brought flowers to him”

Okay I’m legit living for zoomophic!thg I’m rolling and crying cause I have the urge to draw fox!katniss 🦊 and mouse!peeta 🐭 ahh so cute! I’d love to add in that Peeta also has big Golden Retriever dog energy, just a good soft boy all around 🐶

That makes my entire night! Can you tell I read way too many fairytales and animal books when I was little? *side eyes Warriors and Redwall and Kate DiCamillo* I guess it’s just my funny little niche in the fandom. Also I would melt into a puddle on the floor if you drew them. A puddle I tell you. 🐾💕
