sooo like so like. do we think about how many people haymitch has lost within his life. assuming that his father dies sometime within his childhood because haymitch bares no mention of him and the lack of a father goes unquestioned, that's one. within the 50th with maysliee's death, that's two. 2 weeks post-games, his mother, brother, and girlfriend all are killed. five deaths. from the 51st hunger games and onwards it's racking up to 51, considering that each and every mentee minus katniss and peeta die. (being 46 in total.) so before katniss & peeta are in the picture he's already grappled with that many deaths. so it makes sense that he's so contorted by memories and blood and anguish.

hence why i cannot believe that his family's deaths were the tipping point to start his addiction because there's so much burden to come further within his life. it's a steady journey of hope into despair and desperation and trying so hard to forget. and with these deaths he's so adamantly this embodiment of an overly-empathetic persona. he does anything and everything to keep both kids alive, despite the personal sacrifices. he has such a huge saviour complex and it stems from loss and failure. failure to win, to truly survive. and yet he keeps surviving despite.

I say this with a full heart: the boop event was genuinely the most alive I’ve seen this website be in actual years

dream as a bijoukitty plushie

when is it my turn to be someones battle gf with a sword hidden down the back of my dress in case i need it

I’m sorry but LIKE!!!!! they loved each other for so long, they never spoke of it, they spoke only in small, invisible touches, they both tended plants, he did before the war, they shared this with each other, they loved each other but other matters were more pressing, he crawled into a tunnel, she killed an orc to save her son, nobody trusted her but she stepped up anyway, she made them listen, he fought his way out of a pit to get back to her, he made a deal with his enemy so he might see her again, she ran alone into danger with only a hand scythe, she had no choice, she didn’t know he’d be out there too, they loved each other so much but it was bigger than just their lives, he proposed anyway, he adopted her son, he held off an entire army for one (1) kiss, he almost lost her, he almost lost her again, she talked him through emergency surgery, she offered her neck rather than give up the weapon and he didn't give it up either, he loved her so much but it was bigger than his love, it was bigger than their lives, they survived anyway, they won but they lost, he fucked up, he failed, but they survived, they’re getting a fresh start, they’re getting married, they already are, they’re a family, they’ve been one since before the beginning, she’s guiding her people to a new home, she’s a healer-leader, he’s her protector, they love each other so much, it’s more than love, it’s beyond love, it’s a responsibility, screaming crying throwing myself into the sea NOBODY IS DOING IT LIKE THEY ARE

merm...bkg hunger games au....

okay so here are my initial thoughts:

1) im actually probably way too into the hunger games to be having this discussion lmfaoooo. im too into it, it’s too perfect, i love it too much. it is basically the pinnacle of all YA and i will fight literally everyone on that.

2) so with the first point in consideration, are we talking like a strict 1:1 AU? Setting it in New America/Panem? Districts with distinct specialities? Commentary about reality TV and modern entertainment entwined with like, the trauma that comes with war and trying to break free of generational curses and etc etc etc? RE: reality TV, I do think we could probably modernise that just a teeny weeny little, to include like, idk, some bullshit about how we’re always under constant surveillance and how we no longer have the time/option to be unavailable (because we’re so connected!). and since we’re like, apart of an actual fandom, maybe we could throw in some stuff about how our more privileged/sheltered audience members would engage in like, stan culture about all these dying kids, LOL. Shipping wars that ends bitterly because one half of the pairing like, idk, clubs the other to death LMAO. Real People Fanfic and the culture war that would come from that (people having a problem with RPF of the tributes bc they’re real people, but like also conveniently like… forgetting they’re real people who are being forced into a death match). would we throw in a line about Reader and/or Bakugou discovering self-insert Gamefic? lmao no wait i made myself snort, we’re absolutely keeping that LMAO. anyways im gonna cut myself off here bc otherwise i will ramble on, but that brings us to point numero-threeo—

3) i recently rewatched Battle Royale (a “random” class entered wins a yearly lottery then dumped on a remote island where they have three days to murder each other—all in the name of keep the status-quo, etc etc, also this is somehow a solution to sky-high unemployment rates etc etc etc.). if we kept the Quirks then like, you could spin it as a dystopian AU where people are fearful of quirks being too powerful, so then ya death-match children are pulled from hero classes and we make Reader end up in there accidentally or something, and oh no! they’re also quirkless (and defenceless hehe).

4) idk. i know i was like hehe i like war! but like, i don’t know how to emphasise how much i love the hunger games LMAO. and how that love sort of translates into the same fierceness i feel about BNHA, when it comes to fanfic—that the canon characters have certain inevitabilities you have to honour. just like no matter the universe, we are always going to need a Bakugou who’s centered around his friends (Deku, always, in any capacity. Kirishima, the first equal he had. Shouto, his frustrating Bestie <3), to me the hunger games works as well as it does because it’s war through the lens of relationships. Gale as the danger of unhealed anger, Peeta as choosing peace—like… that’s the magic of THG to me, and i just…… like…… what are we gonna do with the relationships, with a BNHA cast? 🥺 What would Bakugou be? Do we start with a Bakugou who’s still in Bastard Mode? Has he gone through his canon growth by the time he and Reader meet? If he has, then how was that facilitated in our new world? Did he and Deku end up in the same game? Survive together somehow? How many of their peers and friends do they lose, or does that come later on? How do we fit Reader into that dynamic naturally? the romance in THG happens through like, a need to play the game, play it up for the cameras, but it’s born out of Peeta’s very real feelings for Katniss, that started when they’re kids, and I’m not a childhood friends-to-lovers person (writing wise). The “romance” (if u can call it that) in Battle Royale is probably more culpable to what i do (vague awareness of each other/one-sided crush, grows as they prop each other up) but… idk!!! idk!!!! we could just write up Bakugou and Reader sharing a cave and making out over a festering wound but like…. idk!!! i believe in earning our kisses. 😌 show me the build up in the war-torn society first, and then maybe we can have a kiss later on, lmfaoooo.

Girlies just now finding running up that hill when some of us have been in this fight ever since they were 7 and their dad would put it on during car rides at night to give u the ultimate main character syndrome as u look out the window at the passing lights wistfully

WE LIVE IN SUCH A BEAUTIFUL WORLD

that's just f1 babes

thinking about romana smashing the window in 2.2 Spirit that was peak

sometimes keith and acxa are siblings and sometimes they kiss once (1) before they realize that they're not into it. both are equally true depending entirely on my mood at the time.

wendy on lee mujin service just casually singing whitney houston AND love on top without even prepping love on top…

truly no one like red velvet

i think ryan gosling as ken is funny bc i know in my heart of hearts that ken would fuckkng LOVE the “he is literally me” and “hey girl” memes

the fact that not only was laena a dragon rider before twelve, but she managed to claim vhagar as her mount is still one of my favorite facts tbh
