I Figured It Out

hiiii :3 ive been following ur stuff on tiktok b4 finding u here and am absolutely obsessed w ur portrayal of everything - esp ur previous hunger games content & post mockingjay stuff! do u have many thoughts on either of those bc id be DYING to hear them lmfao

Thank you so much!!!!

First, I am very much not neurotypical and even less so when it comes to THG and have A Thought about most things in the series but I'll try to be as brief as I can lmao

My main thing that I love and am obsessed with is what I believe is the the theme at the heart of the story: That compassion for those around you and building community are acts of rebellion and vital to break the cycle of oppression. And I think that can be seen through pretty much every character and story line throughout the series (including ABOSAS) by either embodying it or rejecting it.

When it comes to my art for the series, I try to draw things that I haven't seen as much as I'd like to. I'm not great at writing my thoughts down, especially about things I am passionate about, SO I try to use my art as a more concise outlet. (If you were asking about a specific artwork I did, lmk!)

For my thoughts specifically about what happens post Mockingjay- I think Katniss and Peeta got to live out the dream they had at the top of the training center in Catching Fire. But that takes a LOT of work and I appreciate that Suzanne Collins didn't wave away their history and trauma for a happily ever after either. It feels like their lives and struggles and joy aren't over when the book ends.

When I have a specific thing to talk about, I can go for HOURS (all my friends and family can very tiredly attest to that) but here's like my over arching feelings that I hope answered your questions a little?

I think about Haymitch raising his geese. About how geese are known for being mean and nasty About how often their hissing and bitting is to protect their young

My father was martyred by Israel on 10 October 2023 after sacrificing his care in hospital so the injured children could take priority. Today would have been his 60th birthday. He was always selfless, kind, and giving for others. My father gave up everything for me to be able to have a better life, because that is what he always dreamed for me and my sister. The world suffered a great loss when he died, and my heart is always with him and every Palestinian who has lost someone.

In his honour and memory, I would love for anyone who is able to do so to consider donating to The Palestine Children’s Relief Fund.

The PCRF is an amazing organisation that does so much for those in Gaza right now, including helping provide food, water and medicine. You can donate any amount you are able to- there is no minimum! My father would have given his very last cent if he saw the way Palestine was continuing to suffer after over 100 days with this limited aid, so I know celebrating him by helping others is the least he would have wanted.

I saw @parrot-parent do a very successful donation match and I thought it was such a good idea so I will also match all donations up to $500! If you feel comfortable sending me proof of the amount of your donation, I will match it as a donation at the end of February. (My messages are set to mutuals only, but if you donate and we aren’t mutuals if you send an ask with the proof I will make sure to answer it privately.)

“Would fall in love with me again if you knew all I’ve done?”

My sister made me make a fictional crush graph thing and thought the result without context of what the three ends mean was funnier

Coach Peeta in Catching fire: no time for affection, we are training like careers to survive.

Katniss: no KISS for me ? You DON'T give me any hugs ? Oh ! oh ! Jail for Peeta ! Jail for Peeta for a thousand years !

I’m Not Sorry For Loving You (wip!)

I forgot I made this lmao

a little concept for a story I'm working on "Lost Dawn"

set in a post apocalyptic/ fantasy setting and heavily inspired by middle eastern aesthetics and mythology

being asexual and having your favorite characters always be hot men is wild sometimes because i go on a character tag just wanting to see posts blorbo-ifying finnick and talking about what a good character he is and stuff but instead it’s just. entirely smut.
