ToastCon is almost here & we want to celebrate with the whole fandom July 1 - 7

To kick off our very first ToastCon I've got a countdown FOR EVERYONE

We want to hear from you on what you love in THG!

Everyday a prompt will be posted here on my Tumblr inviting you to share four of your favorite things from THG, in any media form you prefer or a combination of them (Words, pictures, gifs, edits, fanart, video, audio). Prompts will be posted 24 hours in advance starting on June 29th Midnight PST (so tonight!). I will give you a tag for each post. Make sure you tag your posts so we can follow along and keep track, that is important because

Guess what!?There's a prize

Yep, we are going to have a drawing! Here's all the ways to earn entries:

Reblog this post (1) with the tag #ToastConTest

Tag at least one person on this post (1)

Reblog the prompt post each day (1/day = 7 total)

After doing any of those snap a pic immediately and email it to [email protected]

Now it's up to you all how we do the drawing. Do you want me to just do it and announce the winner all vanilla like in a text post? Do you want me to Snapchat it? Livestream it? Make a badass gif or banner? You tell me! I'm gonna do my best to get it done during ToastCon but please be patient if it doesn't happen immediately.

I wonder what the prize will be 🤔

I need to thank @everlarkedalways + @dandeliononfire for all their work for ToastCon and their encouragement on this idea. A huge thanks to the hilarious @starsmahogany for her graphics. Also @slenderbutaggressive @aihodineverlark for helping with tags too 🧡🧡🧡

Okay this my first attempt at editing video so please don’t destroy me. I always wanted to try and thought this was a cool opportunity.

#ToastConTestFive - Quotes

Me, taking part in a contest? Yup! So, for this I'm just copying and pasting... but I will be explaining each! #ToastedTHG style, baby.

#1: "My nightmares are usually about losing you,” he says. “I'm okay once I realize you're here."

This one used to make me swoon, but now as I am older I realize how almost haunting it is. To lay beside the one you love and dream of losing her? It's... haunting, definitely. But still a favorite quote of mine.

#2: "At a few minutes before four, Peeta turns to me again. "Your favorite colour . . . it's green?"

"That's right." Then I think of something to add. "And yours is orange."

"Orange?" He seems unconvinced.

"Not bright orange. But soft. Like the sunset," I say. "At least, that's what you told me once."

"Oh." He closes his eyes briefly, maybe trying to conjure up that sunset, then nods his head. "Thank you."

But more words tumble out. "You're a painter. You're a baker. You like to sleep with the windows open. You never take sugar in your tea. And you always double-knot your shoelaces."

Then I dive into my tent before I do something stupid like cry."

I always think it interesting just how much attention Katniss pays to Peeta. Before the Games, she didn't even know it was something she was doing - but now? She's learned these details in private, from spending nights on the train snd just being with Peeta. From scenes we didn't even see. I mean, the shoelaces detail? The tea! I want a cut scene from Collins where we learned that. Or a fanfic (there probably is one...). It's just so telling how much she cares, how much she loves him, and it's so sad because he doesn't know those things about himself anymore.

#3: Peeta and I grow back together. There are still moments when he clutches the back of a chair and hangs on until the flashbacks are over. I wake screaming from nightmares of mutts and lost children. But his arms are there to comfort me. And eventually his lips. On the night I feel that thing again, the hunger that overtook me on the beach, I know this would have happened anyway. 

It's so weird to hear Katniss talk about her love for Peeta with such certainty. That's why this ranks as one of the top passages, along with quote #4. "I know this would have happened anyway." And I just wonder how it is exactly that she came to this conclusion. That, in almost a fate-like way, she and Peeta were meant for each other. It's just so interesting and I will definitely bring this up again when we reread Mockingjay!

#4: "So after, when he whispers, "You love me. Real or not real?" I tell him, "Real."

Swoon? Swoon. They got their happy ending! Yay!!!!!! We're all in 😍😍😍 right now, because they get to share many more kisses like that on the beach.

Believe me, there are soooo many more I could have picked! But I figured an almost random tossup was in order, as a ranking? Well, that would be VERY hard to decide, because this is my ship!

Good luck to the other contestants, and may the odds be ever in our favor!

When I think of THG and food I think about the meal they shared in the cave. Probably because Peeta remembers Katniss likes the lamb stew in Mockingjay and it showed he was remembering real memories of Katniss.

So, we had a reaping...

Congratulations @wendywobbles !
