hey angel! sorry to hear you aren’t feeling great lately, i hope some light shines on you soon 🫶
to distract you for now, how about a hunger games headcanon to explore what activity the og gang would plan as a special treat for their so? a picnic in the woods, maybe a night under the stars…
i challenge you to also think about which one is most appealing to you!!
take care! <3
hi, thank you very much for the ask and the kind words!! sorry this took so long, i just started a new job so i've been busyyy. so, i actually don't really write for the hunger games anymore but i'm gonna give this a shot anyway.
coryo would do things differently depending where he is in his life. academy!coryo wouldn't be able to afford anything to fancy, so he would probably take you somewhere with very beautiful scenery and plan a small picnic. peacekeeper!coryo also wouldn't be able to do too much, probably just taking you to a bar and twirling you on the dance floor. when he finally has the money and the status, politican!coryo would plan an extremely lavish day of spa treatments, a fancy restaurant, with flowers and jewelry.
finnick would take you to the beach, obviously. he'd plan a picnic with tons of delicious food and wine, and lay out a huge blanket for you two to cuddle up on. he'd find you pretty seashells and put flowers in your hair. you would watch the sunset and stay well into the nighttime, looking at the stars. if you're not a beach person, he'd probably bring you a big, homemade breakfast in bed and then take you on a scenic walk.
gale doesn't strike me as a super romantic person, so i think he would probably just take you out for a nice meal or out shopping. he can be very thoughtful when he tries, but his mind is often occupied with other things and he can be forgetful. he would be a gentleman though, opening all the doors and pulling out your chair on these special evenings.
haymitch takes you to see the stars. it's a chilly night and he brings you up onto this secluded little hill and gives you his jacket while he points out all the constellations for you and holds you close.
johanna isn't one for grand gestures, so it would probably be something very simple. she would take one of your favorite hobbies and plan a nice night around that. you like to draw/paint? she'll get some supplies and model for you! you like to cook? the kitchen will be full of fresh ingredients so you can show her how to make your favorite recipes.
katniss takes you to the woods for a picnic and to swim in the lake as the sun sets. she made all the food just for you, and she gets all flustered if you compliment the effort she put in — she wants it to seem like it's not a big deal, but it totally is.
lucy gray takes you out dancing, pulling you onto the floor and making sure everyone sees how beautiful the person on her arm looks. she'll spoil you in snacks and drinks as the night progresses. if you get a little too tipsy, she'll go into caregiver mode when you get home, getting you into your pajamas and making sure you drink tons of water.
peeta makes you a full dinner at home, with candles and everything. he tries to make it super romantic and fancy even though you're just in your own dining room. he pulls out your chair and pours your drinks and makes sure to cook all of your favorite foods.
sejanus takes you on a shopping spree. he watches you try on new outfits and buys you whatever you want before treating you to a fancy dinner afterwards. what can i say? he likes to spoil you.
tigris would plan a day full of small, fun activities that she thinks would interest you. whether that's a pottery class, a paint-'n-sip night, a movie...she's gonna fill the time with tons of thoughtful little moments that create a busy but fun day together.
notes: just a lil something to help me get back into the swing of things after not writing for a while! hope you enjoy ’em, even though it’s a bit short.
Never hesitates to give you his jacket or sweater if he sees you’re cold. He pretends not to notice that the clothes he gives you never return to his closet.
When he kisses you, he always cups your face in his hands, thumbs stroking your cheekbones.
You had no idea just how much one person could bake before you met him. It seems like you get a new baked good every other day. Cupcakes, themed cakes, loaves of sourdough bread, muffins, pasta, you name it, and it’s probably on his list to bake for you.
Peeta loves teaching you how to draw/paint!! He’ll sit outside with you on a nice day and walk you through how to draw a frog or something else simple. By sunset, both papers are filled edge to edge with stick frogs, flowers, hearts, and sad-looking deer. Peeta dates both sheets and leaves cute little notes next to some of your drawings for you to find later.
Most of his own paintings are of you. Some are posed, and some are candid. The candid ones are Peeta’s favorite. You get his favorite portrait framed as a birthday present, and he nearly cries when he opens it. Before you could ask if he liked it, he kissed you, then kissed all over your face, where you both erupted with giggles.
This boy is so stupidly adorable it has to be some form of disease. You’ll catch him sitting across from you with a lovesick smile, his blond hair illuminated by the setting sun he loves so much. You tease him about it, making him blush, which only makes him all the cuter.
At the start of your relationship, Peeta had little self-worth/confidence in himself. He didn’t have much to offer you in terms of money or pretty clothes, but he soon realized you didn’t care about any of that. You like him for him, not for what you could gain from him.
If he’s forced to pick just one thing, Peeta’s favorite part about your body is your hands. Why’re they his favorite? Because that’s one of the main ways you show your love for him. Holding his hands, cupping his face, cooking meals, smoothing them across his chest, that kinda stuff.
He would hug you all day, every day, if he could. This man is a hugger to beat all huggers.
Peeta wants to start a family with you, whatever that family ends up looking like. Just you, him, and a few pets? A-okay with him. A child or two? Count him in! As long as Peeta gets to spend the rest of his life with you, he’s happy, no matter what it looks like.
Definitely uses pet names like “honey,” “sweetheart,” and “my love.”
This man never not has a smile on his face. You’ll catch him staring at you from his seat in the living room with the stupidest, lovesick grin spread across his features as he watches you do whatever it is you’re doing.
When Peeta plans on proposing, he organizes an entire day of fun activities for both of you. He knows exactly how he wants to propose: in a gazebo, hidden by the blanket of night, illuminated only by the mood lighting he set up the day before. But it never ends up happening. The two of you were dancing in the living room to your record player, nose to nose, pressed so close to one another he couldn’t tell where he ended and where you began. As he swayed, Peeta whispered, “will you marry me?” It wasn’t what he had planned, but the outcome was exactly what he had hoped.
He’s not the biggest partaker of PDA, but he’s not averse to it. He’ll hold your hand, kiss your cheek, that kinda stuff, but he won’t make it obvious or rub it in other people’s faces.
Peeta’s very hard to anger, so he’s great to vent to. He’ll always be up for listening to your problems and helping you fix them if that’s what you want. If you just need someone to listen and not try to resolve whatever you’re upset about, he’s perfect for that too.
Peeta starts a garden full of your favorite flowers. Once they grow tall and bloom, he picks them to make a bouquet for you.
At night, he has to be touching you in some way or form to be able to fall asleep. Holding hands, you sleeping on his chest, spooning, you name it. He needs to know you’re still there so he can allow himself to relax enough.
Peeta gets up before you, so he loves to wake you up with kisses. Rapid fire against your cheeks, forehead, nose, the palm of your hand, up your arm, basically anywhere he can reach.
When it comes to Valentine’s Day (objectively his favorite day, minus your anniversary), he surprises you with breakfast in bed and fresh homemade muffins. There are fresh-cut roses in a new vase on the dining room table, and the entire house is deep-cleaned from top to bottom. Lunch is a picnic under an old weeping willow tree, followed by cloud gazing. He cooked you your favorite meal, making enough for leftovers. Later, he gifts you a portrait he painted of you in secret. It showed you, facing away from the viewer, sitting on the porch swing, watching the sun set below the rolling hills of District 12. When it’s time for dinner, Peeta cooks a classic romantic meal: spaghetti with meatballs by candlelight. The day was the definition of perfect; everything he surprised you with made you fall in love with him all over again.
Throughout Valentine’s Day, Peeta kisses you almost every chance he can get. You look too damn beautiful not to kiss. You don’t look any different than yesterday, and you won’t look any different in the days to come, but none of that matters to him. Your beauty never fails to floor him, and today was no exception.
overseers, fieldcalls & the distancing of community: HCing intra-District dynamics
okay i think i’ve mentioned already that i think District 11 is heavily influenced by Black american culture. i think it’s inspired by enslaved people/sharecoppers in the deep south & how they revolted constantly against plantation owners & then later Jim Crow laws. i also don’t think Suzanne made those connections accidentally.
however!!! these are just HCs!!! i am not Suzanne Collins’ bestie & i don’t know what’s going on in her mind when it comes to the world she’s built. these are just some headcanons that i’ve made because District 11 & how close it resembles the history i’ve grown up learning is very interesting. if you don’t agree that’s totally fine. but i just think about how …
… during the slave era, overseers were often poor white men put in charge of driving output from enslaved laborers. while these positions often proved to be more lucrative than attempting to cultivate farms themselves or find employment in a environment where labor could be sourced for free, they came alongside a lot of pressure.
due to intense demand put on them from the wealthier plantation owners & feelings of being jilted out of the opportunity to accumulate their own wealth vis a vis ownership of their own slaves, overseers had a tendency to resort to unnecessarily cruel or debilitating punishments. they viewed enslaved people as subhuman, and so treated them worse than animals.
most overseers where white. but some plantation owners had Black overseers. it was thought that enslaved people listen better to someone that looked like them, and show the plantation owners in a sympathetic light for giving a Black enslaved man such a enviable position.
but it would actually just further divide the community. providing a Black enslaved man with better clothing, housing, food and privileges in exchange for him losing favor with the collective. the disdain he’d be viewed with in turn would widen the gap, and he’d become so resentful of being ostracized that he’d be unlikely to take the whip/gun and turn it onto the real enemy: the plantation owner. he could become as violent & self-serving as his white predecessors, and crack down harder on the people that used to be his community out of jealousy or hatred or betrayal.
“so what does this have to do with District 11?”
well. my theory is that there were a select few people in the district that were used as overseers for the various crop fields. it was seen as a “promotion”, and they were called “superintendents”. these men & women would be elevated to positions of power over the other people in the District, and given more pay along with better housing/food/clothing. their families would often be spared from having to work the fields themselves, and they would be considered the “lower middle class” of the District. the only people richer would be the peacekeepers, the handful of people that ran stores, and the politically elite that worked in the justice building.
but these “promotions” would be seen by the rest of the District as bootlicking to the Capitol, and selling out to the people that actively starved & oppressed their District. to take one of these superintendent positions would be to forfeit their position in the community, but to deny it would be to deny their families a chance at a better life.
a few superintendents turn to substance abuse to deal with the weight of the decision, and some become recluses from shame. but some become cruel & contemptible.
on the contrast, there is a position in the district known as a “fieldcall”. now fieldcalls have different demographics depending on the crop they’re assigned to. the fieldcalls that work in the orchards, for example, are usually children because they can climb faster & higher than a grown adult would be able to. fieldcalls in the sugar cane fields are usually the taller people in the district—mostly men, but the occasional woman too—so that they’ll be visible over the tall-growing cane leaves. the job of a fieldcall is mostly in the name—they’re there to call the start & end of the day, and they tend to lead the work hymnals that people in District 11 sing to pass the work day.
these “sorrow songs” are useful for a lot of things. they were a way that the people of District 11 kept their culture & their spirits strong even under ruthless injustices. a powerful form of musical expression and resistance, District 11 would use these songs for everything from plans of revolt to ending a work day to mourning as a community. the cleverness & musicality of being a fieldcall is a highly respected position, as they’re usually the main source of important information for the rest of the District. it’s a heavy burden & respected honor to be the position of a field call.
and whereas being a superintendent is a title bestowed by the Capitol & is treated as such, the fieldcall is a position given to someone by their community. all it takes is a strong singing voice & a little spark of cunning for people to then look to you for the music & as a source of information.
of course, how the District treats superintendents is exactly what the Capitol intends. and i can picture there always being a strong tension between fieldcalls & superintendents. someone ostracized by their community vs someone openly revered by it.
just… the idea of fieldcalls having a tendency to be targeted by superintendents, and then Rue (who says she whistles to let people know the end of the work day) being killed by a Capitol figurehead (Marvel being from a Career district) kind of gave me the idea & now i can’t stop thinking about it.
I hope I am wording this right but can you do a Johanna Mason x fem!reader where Johanna and the reader are arguing about something and Johanna raises her hand to make a point which causes the reader to flinch away? (I also apologize if I've sent in this request before because I can't remember if I did or didn't)
Arguments weren't rare or new with Johanna
Sometimes they were silly and meaningless, other times they were severe and caused tension
Thankfully, serious arguments didn't happen often
But no matter who started it, the conflict was usually resolved either by you making up to Johanna in your own way or Johanna giving a grumpy but sincere apology
However this time it wasn't just some petty argument. This was serious, more serious than any of your previous fights
The fight progressed further and further until you and Johanna were yelling at each other to try to get the point across to the other
You were full of anger, and both of you had gotten more aggressive in your language towards each other
After some rage-filled comment towards Johanna, she had stepped forward raising a finger toward you, ready to tell you to never say something like that to her
But she froze and lowered her hand when she saw you stiffen up and flinch back
At first, she has no idea what to do or say. She had never been violent towards you or laid her hands on you in a harsh way, but you still flinched.
Was she scaring you? Did you really think she would hurt you over a stupid argument?
She felt angry and upset and not towards you, but herself
Sure, she had killed people but that was completely in self-defense, to survive the hunger games. But you had to know that she would never hurt you like that right?
She doesn't say anything, she looks down at the ground before walking off
Sometime later after the both of you have cooled off, Johanna comes with a peace offering, most likely a gift she had stored away or your favorite food
That's when she apologizes for letting the argument get out of hand, for saying things she shouldn't have, and for scaring you into thinking she would ever lay her hands on you
And once you two have sorted through things, she wants to know why you flinched away
If it was because it was a natural reaction because of trauma, she understands and is willing to hear you vent about it
If it was because you were scared she would hit you, she explains that she would never hurt you in any way
sorry if it's too soon in your grieving process but like, i've gotta ask...young!haymitch hcs??👀
too soon? baby, this is how i cope.
sort-of spoilers forsotr, but these hcs are like kinda canon-divergent!!
haymitch is seriously a hopeless romantic, like?? i was so shocked by that aspect of his character. he's a lovebug!!
he has 100 pet names for you, and rotates through them all like once a day
he has a great memory and never forgets important dates (birthdays, anniversaries) and if you off-handedly mention that you want/like something, he'll get it for you a month later because he remembers the little details
he's a great listener, too - he gets to know you very deeply and intimately, and he only falls deeper in love the more he learns
has nightmares constantly, and tries to hide them from you so you don't worry - you can hear him whimpering in his sleep often, and you try to soothe him as best as you can, rubbing his back and stroking his hair
big dick. sorry i just gotta get that one out. i know it's big.
someone asked for a haymitch addition to this post, so here you go: i don't really think he's very ticklish, but if you get the right spots - under his arms or his hips - he'll crumble. because it's you, he doesn't fight too hard and just lets you have your fun, and he has the cutest laugh - he'll ramble through it, saying "wait, darlin', c'mon, don't—". he will get revenge though, so beware.
love language is words of affirmation (he's always saying i love you, affirming his attraction and devotion to you) and physical touch (he always wants to hold your hand, kiss you all over, and cuddle you)
but he also loves giving you little gifts??? he's just. genuinely a great boyfriend
I NEED to know how the hg boys would react to you stealing and wearing their shirts around the house without anything underneath
OR wearing their sweatshirts on casual outings
Xoxo- 🦢
peeta gets giddy when you wear his clothes, he finds it so romantic and intimate. especially with nothing underneath...that's a whole new level of sexy to him. "look so good in my clothes, baby," he mutters, toying with the hem, pushing the shirt up so he can kiss your stomach before going down on you.
gale teases you about it. "little thief," he says in your ear, grinning. "but i do like how you look in my sweater..." and bends you over a table to punish you for stealing, pounding into you.
finnick finds it so cute, he wants you to wear his clothes all the time. when you're on the beach and it starts to get chilly in the evening, he'll take off his sweater and hand it to you, smirking because he knows you always "forget" to bring your own clothes to keep warm. and, if the mood is right, he'll press you against a towel in the sand and go down on you.
coriolanus pretends that it bothers him, but he finds it really sweet. "i need that shirt for work," he'll say, pretending to be annoyed. "you gonna wash it for me?" he comes up behind you, plays with the buttons. "tigris made me this shirt, i don't want to fuck you in it, baby. take it off and meet me in the bedroom, alright? make sure you hang it up nice so it doesn't get wrinkled."
sejanus jokes that he clearly doesn't buy you enough clothes, and asks if he's neglecting you, but he's grinning the whole time. "clearly i don't spoil you enough," he teases. "since you have to steal my stuff." and kisses your neck, nipping at your ear playfully.
someone requested haymitch x younger!virgin!reader. content warnings for age gap (reader is of legal age). otherwise includes fem!reader, losing virginity, a mixture of fluff, angst, and smut!!
haymitch is a very closed off person when you first meet him — he isn’t interested in making friends unless it benefits him in some way, like getting sponsors for his tributes or a good price on liquor
but you manage to worm your way into his heart, and he quickly finds himself enjoying your company more than he thought possible
the age gap between you two definitely crosses his mind as something odd, but honestly, he is very emotionally stunted — he lost his childhood to the arena; he is both wise and tortured beyond his years
haymitch doesn’t exactly get around…he isn’t a virgin by any means, but he’s normally too uninterested to bother or too drunk to get it up — he would start off with a teasing comment, probably, when he finds out you’re a virgin but would apologize if that comment truly offended you, he is just often tactless with sensitive or embarrassing subjects
he would be incredibly gentle with you, the first time, would try to sober up as much as he could to make the experience tender and memorable
fucking you is one thing, but falling for you is a whole new can of worms for him
he cracks jokes just to hear you laugh, shaves if the feeling of his stubble bothers you (or grows it out, if you say you like it), and slowly but surely tries to pull himself together so he can be worthy of you (in his own words)
How do you think the hunger games boys would react to you pulling their hair during sex?
peeta isn't that into it, unless he's going down on you and your reaction is to tangle your fingers into his hair because you're in so much pleasure. he doesn't like being roughed up much, but if you're gentle and doing it for that reason, he finds it kinda hot.
gale likes it, but sees it as sort of submissive, and i picture him as like 100% dom, so he doesn't like it that much. like peeta, he likes when you tug his hair because your pleasure is so great, you have to ground yourself by grabbing his hair. he also likes it if you do it while making out, pulling his hair to tip his head back so you can kiss his jaw easier.
finnick isn't a huge fan, tbh!! like peeta, he doesn't like being too roughed up. he likes having his hair played with a lot, but prefers it to be a gentle touch. if you did tug on his hair in a spur-of-the-moment thing (like while cumming) he wouldn't be triggered or upset, but it just doesn't do anything for him. he would pull your hair, though, if you wanted him to.
coriolanus refuses to admit how hot he finds it. when he has his curls, he loves when you tug them, pulling him in for a fierce kiss by that white-blond hair, pulling his head back so you can get access to his sensitive neck, kissing and nipping along the skin. especially academy!coryo, aka what i consider his virgin era, it gets him hard instantly.
sejanus finds it really hot. he can be extremely dominant, but he likes when you switch it up sometimes, taking control and manhandling him a bit. he likes the small sting of your grip tangling in his curls,
