Freeze This Moment

This is always a question I love asking fellow fans. For me (and maybe this has already been discussed at length here), it has hands down got to be the Everlark kiddos. I love the fact that their mixed features visually symbolize the end of the Merchant/Seam divide in District 12, which of course is a microcosm of the dismantling of the games that their parents kick-started. The fact that Everlark is the inverse of Burdock and Asterid is also not lost on me, and I find even more symbolism there. Despite their similar merging, we know that they basically got one of each in Katniss and Prim and thus did not see the visual manifestation…yet. I believe this shows how even though there were concerted efforts to tear down these various systems/customs prior, sometimes it takes generations to bear the fruit. And lo and behold, their daughter and son-in-law did just that. I get emotional if I think about this too much, same with that damn pearl.

As promised, it’s back up, folks! An explanation is included if you missed yesterday’s post from me. But whether it’s your first, second, or third time reading this fic (smh), I hope you enjoy!

Hello and thank you to those who have followed me thus far, and shout out to @mandrake-mistakes for ushering me into this community so graciously! Just wanted to make sure you all know that I’ve officially changed my handle to “everlarksupremacy,” as you can see, to match my Ao3 account. Some of you may recognize my old Ao3 account name, “THGEncyclopedia,” but I had to change it for professional reasons. I am a teacher for a living, and a student at my school happened upon a TikTok comment of me advertising my works; furthermore, the school found out about it and asked me to take them down or risk termination. But with this new account name, I plan on re-uploading them this week. One is a completed fic, which I already embarrassingly had to re-upload once before, called “Kiss Cam,” and the other only had one chapter completed when I was instructed to take it down. That one was titled “Embracing Spring.” I will probably re-upload “Kiss Cam” on a weekly basis to build an audience back up, and then “Embracing Spring” will obviously have brand new updates at a to-be-determined pace.

You may recall my username (brauneyboi19) from a plethora of TikTok comment sections, as I am all over the place defending The Hunger Games and specifically Everlark with every fiber of my being. Recently, one specific comment went viral because I guess I’m apparently some sort of rare species by being a straight male AND an Everlark fanatic, and that connected me with @mandrake-mistakes. Now, she has encouraged me to get a tumblr account to join where “the cool Everlark people hang out.” I am obviously still learning the ropes, but I am happy to be here!
