The Reluctant Victor, inspired by The Reluctant Bride by Auguste Toulmouche - I just thought that this painting was SO perfect for Katniss and I had to draw it!

Am I the only one who, for some reason, can't not constantly think about the memorials Katniss references in the epilogue?

"The arenas have been completely destroyed, the memorials built."

Is there a memorial for all the children who were murdered in the hunger games? All 1,725 of them? Did someone manage to dig up the names of all the past tributes? Can Haymitch go to the capitol and run his fingers over the L in Louella's name? Can Katniss look at Rue's name, engraved in something permanent?

Is there a memorial for all the rebel soldiers who died while fighting the capitol? Does Finnick's name reside right next to Prim's on a big glossy slab of marble or granite?

I really like that after Peeta tried to strangle Katniss, Prim stays with her and takes care of her. It used to be Katniss looking after Prim, and now it’s the other way around.

And Prim also brilliantly put Plutarch in his place when he tried to kick her out. It’s great that Haymitch smirked and supported her.

Then Prim asks about Peeta’s condition when Katniss can’t, and supports her. It’s so sweet 🥰

stranger things x hunger games au concept

ⓘ in this au, two tributes of the same gender can get reaped from one district and volunteering for the opposite gender is permitted.

⊹ byler follows everlark's relationship arcs and are presented as star-crossed lovers

⊹ will is forced to out himself to gain the sympathy/pity of the capitol (his is "i don't like girls" is announced like peeta's "if it weren't for the baby" during their last pre-game tribute interview)

⊹ mike volunteers in holly's place when her name is called at the reaping (jonathan would've done the same for will but by game rules, he's too old to volunteer)

⊹ jane is a career because she was raised as a weapon and lucas is a career because he was raised to be athletically competitive (both are presented as physically intimidating and valuable allies)

⊹ max is from district seven (lumber) and can wield an axe like it's nothing

⊹ dustin is from district three (electronics and technology) and specializes in setting up snares and analyzing the logistics of the arena

⊹ the possessed will and hijacked peeta parallels are insane

⊹ the older kids/adults are all survivors and serve as their mentors

⊹ i've decided hopper is a haymitch variant

⊹ and murray is ceasar flickerman because he helps manipulate the image of the tribute's relationships for the audience (he is lying half the time but it comes from a good place, and his couples' advice borders on invasive/creepy but i won't go there)

⊹ instead of muttations, the arena is infested with demogorgons and has a similar landscape to the upside-down (dark, uneven terrain, little to no water sources so tributes are reliant on sponsors now more than ever)

⊹ instead of jabberjays, (genetically engineered birds designed to imitate the tortured screams of the tribute's loved ones) they're all stung with a hallucinogen that has them experience something adjacent to vecna's visions

I think about the tragedy of Primrose Everdeen a lot. And not just the tragedy of her reaping or her death, but rather everything in between.

I think about her sitting at home at 12 years old, glued to a television screen watching her sister suffer, fearing for her life, wondering if she’d ever see her again, and wondering if it’s her fault? If she would have just been a bit braver or stronger then Katniss wouldn’t have volunteered. Thinking about how it should have been her in those games.

I think about her accepting game and money from Gale, feeling bad about burdening him when he has so much to carry already, feeling bad about again being a mouth to feed. She’s wishing she was a bit braver or stronger so she could go into the woods and hunt.

I think about Katniss coming come and Prim being so relieved and happy but then it’s not quite the same sister that comes back. The Katniss that comes back is scared and distant and hurt and she tries to hide it from Prim but it’s no use because Prim’s always been the one in the family to feel when someone is upset. Prim has her own nightmares about the Games but she doesn’t go to Katniss anymore, she doesn’t want to upset her anymore. She can’t be the little girl that crawls into her sister’s bed and asks for a song.

When she thinks Katniss is at least safe and home she watches her get Reaped again. And Prim is still thinking that this wouldn’t be happening if it had been her in that arena the first time. And this time she doesn’t even get to say goodbye. As she watches the rebellion on the TV she continues to grow up, taking care of the wounded back in 12. She’s surrounded by the Capitol’s cruelty both on the screen and in her home.

Then her home, the only one she’s ever known, is gone and she’s in 13. She’s in this strange and foreign place with a sister who is even further gone than before. And now she has to be the strong one who is there for her sister. And then when Katniss goes to fight in the Capitol Prim loses her again. When she sees her face on TV, when she hears that “the Mockingjay is dead”, she thinks she’s lost her for good this time. And she can’t shake the feeling it’s all her fault, it was her name in that bowl after all.

But Prim needs to be braver and stronger now. She needs to do something to help, it’s what Katniss would do. So even though she’s only 13, much too young to be a doctor, she goes to help the wounded in the Capitol. As the parachutes fall from the sky she is reminded again of the arena, only this time she’s in it. It’s like her nightmares but this one she can’t wake from. Maybe it’s fate catching up to her, a fate that’s been chasing her from the moment that slip was drawn.

The only mercy of her death is that she doesn’t see it coming. All she sees is Katniss through the crowd. It isn’t fear she feels in her last moments, it’s relief that Katniss is alive. She dies surrounded by the most familiar feeling, the love of her big sister.
