Warm and curious

A warning, gentle reader. If you’ve come for your daily dose of sweetness and fluff, you’re not going to find it here today.

The Darkest Day

Winters are hard.

The cold, the darkness. The snow that makes hunting almost impossible for Katniss, and even walking to town difficult for me. But since the end of the war, we’ve managed the winters together.

Until now.

Who missed Victory Tour outfits? ;) Me! So here’s Everlark Outfit #15: Victory Tour, District 7, dinner.

What do we know about this outfit (not much, haha): Jackson has devised a game called «Real or Not Real» to help Peeta. He mentions something he thinks happened, and they tell him if it’s true or imagined, usually followed by a brief explanation. <...> But since Peeta’s greatest confusion centers around me—and not everything can be explained simply—our exchanges are painful and loaded, even though we touch on only the most superficial of details. The color of my dress in 7. My preference for cheese buns. The name of our math teacher when we were little. Reconstructing his memory of me is excruciating. Perhaps it isn’t even possible after what Snow did to him. But it does feel right to help him try.

So we have only one sentence in “Mockingjay” about this outfit. And still I decided to draw it because I have a theory (head canon?) about it. Ok, look. There are this couple of quotes: [1. At dinners, we are borderline delirious in our love for each other. We kiss, we dance, we get caught trying to sneak away to be alone.] and [2. You're so ... pure,” he says finally. “I am not!” I say. “I've been practically ripping your clothes off every time there's been a camera for the last year!”] and [3. I sit next to Peeta on the sand to eat my rolls. For some reason, it's difficult to look at him. Maybe it was all that kissing last night, although the two of us kissing isn't anything new. It might not even have felt any different for him.]

So my theory is that something really steamy happened during Victory Tour dinner in District 7. I mean, Peeta couldn't remember his favorite color, but for some reason he was interested in the color of her dress in 7. I think there are some very vivid memories associated with that night, which Peeta may have replayed more than once in his head (and that's why they're so tightly stuck there, haha). I suppose that they succeed in sneaking away to some private room (or balcony, I prefer balcony 😏) and tried to be really convincing about why they wanted this privacy. Just a little more intense kissing you know. I think that’s why Katniss suggested that Peeta “might not even have felt any different” because they already had some really passionate kisses. And something like “ripping his clothes off” too, not literally but... Well, Katniss was stressed and focused on their purpose (to appear “madly in love” when they would be caught) but I think for Peeta it was really... ugh... hard night. In many ways 😂.

Actually I even started to draw a comic based on this head canon (with a lot of passionately kissing everlark haha) back in November but it’s so difficult and detailed work, it will take me days to finish it. Maybe I will return to it eventually...Or I can set a goal for this comic on my Ko-fi, if anyone is interested 😏.

Ok, well, now to our outfit. I think red dress is perfect for some passion, right? Peeta has dark red + black + a little bit gold which is also sexy color combination. Hope you enjoy this one! ❤️

Just was in the mood to draw some 25 years old Katniss. I’m not sure if they actually are married officially but I like how “Katniss Mellark” sounds, you know 😅. So here she is, fresh from the woods, wearing her father’s jacket, ready to trade some rabbits ;)
