The Hunger Games (faceclaim):

First faceclaim on THG universe here

[hungergameshyperfixation]

I personally don’t think it really matters if “Gale was ever an option,” or that “it was always Peeta.” (I think I’ve seen these phrases used by multiple people, sorry if it’s a small scale thing—I just am offering my two cents, not targeted)

I think Peeta and Katniss end up spending their life together, it’s what happens in the books/films/official canon, and to me it is a logical progression of what we see. Gale can be something to analyze within their dynamic I guess, but I don’t want to discount his “viability” with Katniss because I don’t think it matters?

Also I don’t know if I 100% agree that “it was always Peeta,” because relationships progress? I don’t think from their first interaction it was destined they’d be together. This might just be me taking the phrase too literally though.

But I do agree that Peeta and Katniss share more moments that I think set them up as being lifelong companions (platonic/romantic/familial/whatever). The same way that, after the first HG, Katniss considers Haymitch family. He becomes a solidified person in her life. Peeta worms his way into Katniss’s heart, and Peeta gets way closer to Katniss beyond the school crush status.

Obviously I do ship Everlark (in a queer war) though, so I think that’s different.

the peeta everdeen agenda is so real to me

*appears*

PEETA IS A BUTCH LESBIAN

*throws playlist in your face*

*disappears again*

Okay so how do we feel about prim going non verbal and using twelves version of asl and no one else being able to communicate with her outside of peeta and haymitch and the Capitol hates this so they force her to write everything down because of course the Capitol doesn't have asl because they aren't "like that" so eventually the mere act of using asl is seen as rebellious so it's banned from the districts.

Or am I reaching too much?

Do you guys think about Haymitch fearing the sunrise on the reaping day, and Peeta's love for sunsets??

I think I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I don’t think I have a specific preference when it comes to Katniss and Peeta’s last names post-MJ.

I do want to make the unconventional (?) argument for:

Katniss Everdeen-Mellark

And

Peeta Mellark-Everdeen.

They keep their original names but have the addition of sharing the other’s name as their last. Idk, I can see a number of name combinations working for them. But Katniss Mellark does not sit right with me (at least it hasn’t before, maybe that’ll change one day?)

She’ll always be Everdeen in my eyes. Whether it’s Mellark-Everdeen or Everdeen-Mellark, if she chooses to take Peeta’s name I don’t think she’d sacrifice her own.

Not to say that changing or ‘taking’ your partner’s last name is inherently sacrificing your own, but in this context (aka a fictional/narrative one) I think Everdeen will always be a part of her. Her name is her connection to her father, her sister, and even her mother—all of whom she lost (at least partially in her mother’s case). She can still have that connection without her last name, and one could make the argument that it can almost be beneficial that she ‘sheds’ or evolves beyond her past life and takes on a new name/identity of her choosing (one based on love and all that)

But still!! I subscribe to the Everdeen propaganda!! I much prefer Katniss Everdeen being the name she stays with.

I also have a similar ish argument as to why PEETA would take on the name Everdeen.
