I just know Peeta is one day going to realize that Katniss legitimately finds him physically more attractive than everyone else. Like in the books it’s literally “Gale looks handsome I guess” and she acknowledges that Finnick is good looking. But Peeta literally gets paragraphs of devotion and loving attention.

And Peeta wouldn’t believe it but he also thinks nothing in the world is more lovely than Katniss Everdeen

I've said it once (84 times) and I'll say it a thousand times (1084 times) I want Peeta to find out how absolutely loved, wanted, desired, admired and adored he is by Katniss. I want them to lay on some grass when he catches her staring at him and he asks her why and she says she's watching his eyelashes when he blinks. I want them to be working at moving rubble in town and he takes off his shirt and uses the shirt to wipe sweat off his brow. And then he glances over to Katniss and she is STARING at him. Eyes like fucking dinner plates. He thinks he actually catches her biting her lip. I want them to lay in bed together after a hard day and he's completely wiped. Falls asleep with his prosthesis on. He wakes up to find that she took it off for him, rubbed a mint ointment on his sore stump, got him out of his pants and button down, and tucked him in. I want him to get into a fake, fun argument with Sae and some of the other Seam folk. And they're lovingly hassling him and he's giving and taking it in turn and Katniss is just BEAMING at the scene because of how accepted he is by "her" folk. I want him to run a little class where he teaches kids how to bake (always with an adult present) so they can make their own treats at home. And Katniss always makes sure to time her visits so she can watch the end of the class because something about seeing Peeta sweetly tell these children how wonderful their creations were and lets them all go home with a free cookie - it makes her heart want to burst. And he looks up at her and sees this look in her eyes. And he knows exactly what that look is, but he wants to hear it from her - he NEEDS to hear it from her.

Anon, he's going to know. And she's going to spend the rest of her life loving him with her entire SOUL. I believe this fully. 💚🌻🧡🌻

#wait the sae thing is inspired #just had an absolute vision of her taking on that grandmotherly role #and you know what else grandma’s love? having a big dude to feed. #he gets her approval by demolishing his dinner one evening and from then on that’s her boy. #they are on joking basis. #everlark headcanons

“i have black hair gale has black hair prim has blonde hair but peeta has this like ash blond color almost like a level 9 I’d say 😍😍😍😍” -katniss chapter 1 of thg

The 180 from how Katniss and Peeta are marketed as the safe healthy couple (which is what a lot of their relationship is about) to reading the actual text and witnessing two people who can’t live without each other and also have a lot of horny energy. Both of them really do seem to be eager to kiss and touch each other. They’re not really an innocent couple like the movies tried to make it seem

No, but like, it actually makes me ILL how down bad these two are for each other. I read this series nearly 14 years ago when I was 17 and I credit it for making me the absolutely wretched, thirsty bitch that I am. I've seen some takes where people say that she chose safe, calm love and while I get the idea - it's a misunderstanding of her monologue at the end about why she needs Peeta in her life. I think people read more than was intended in that "I have enough fire on my own" and kind of warped it to mean that her relationship with Peeta didn't have it's own heat or fire. THAT RELATIONSHIP IS SCORCHING AND THEY'RE BOTH IDIOTS, YOUR HONOR. I'm sorry, how is THIS lacking in fire? He tucks me in and says good night but I catch his hand and hold him there. A side effect of the sleep syrup is that in makes people less inhibited, like white liquor, and I know I have to control my tongue. But I don't want him to go. In fact, I want him to climb in with me, to be there when the nightmares hit tonight. For some reason that I can't quite form, I know I'm not allowed to ask that. "Why don't you get some sleep?" he says. Because I can't handle the nightmares. Not without you, I think. They are sure to be dreadful tonight. But I can hardly ask Peeta to come to sleep with me. We've barely touched since that night Gale was whipped. Instead he pulls me in close and buries his face in my hair. Warmth radiates from the spot where his lips just touch my neck, slowly spreading through the rest of me. It feels so good, so impossibly good, that I know I will not be the first to let go. There are literally so many of these but I'm going to limit myself to three because I'm on my lunch break and otherwise I'd be here all fucking day. (ALSO, ALSO, EXCUSE ME? SO IMPOSSIBLY GOOD???? I'VE SEEN FANFICTION WRITERS WRITE LESS THIRSTY SHIT THAN THAT, HOLY FUCK.) I maintain that if the movies had some sort of Lizzie McGuire-esque inner monologue cartoon version of Katniss, it would have been more patently clear just how fucking WILD Katniss was for Peeta.

#the thirst cut pleaseee 💀 #that is so funny #‘so impossibly good’ is crazy though. #and it’s just his lips grazing her neck. #she was in heat yall don’t mind her too much.

Peeta says “tell you what” at least three times over the series and it makes me so happy every time, I don’t know why but it’s just so simplistic and homey of a phrase, I love it so much.

#he is such a country boy #this is the accent sneaking in #‘tell you what’ and katniss is like yes please tell me what #<-. prev tags #yupppp

[paintedpeeta]

The more I think about it the more unhinged it is that Peeta's arms were better than sleeping pills for Katniss

#they’re insane. #i love them!!!

[paintedpeeta]

I love how many of us headcanon that Peeta is a beautiful sunshine boy and also swears like it’s going out of style.

#and you know katniss is appalled sometimes like baby girl is old fashioned at heart. #peeta knows this and plays on it.

First day of school nerves

#crying he’s so precious #his lil worried face #the way peeta is squeezing his hand to reassure him 🥺 #kill me!!! #beautiful art

[paintedpeeta]

katniss is so funny bc peeta was trying so hard to train her to stay alive before the qq and her immediate reaction was to assume that he (the guy who was actively in love with her) didn’t want to be friends anymore and took delight in her suffering

#post-war he probably forgets to kiss her goodbye before leaving the house one morning #and she’s like so what are you gonna say at my funeral now that you’ve killed me 😞🪦💔 #also the fact she’s so deep in denial but still like peeta isn’t giving me hugs and kisses. the fuck is his problem. #like baby please. listen to yourself.

[paintedpeeta]

The only difference was that no one interrupted them

#love love LOVE the way gremlin draws katniss smiling big when she’s with her boy. #and of course peeta being a smart ass. #beautiful art #get it katniss!

[paintedpeeta]

I really wanna go off but I'm also like ehhhh.

#god this is such an amazing point #i cannot believe that in the year 2024 there are still people who believe katniss should have been alone at the end of the series

we will never deserve Katniss Everdeen

#she’s such a kind soul we really do not deserve her #everytime someone calls her cold or uncaring just know i am trying to blow you up with my mind.

[paintedpeeta]

Thinking about Katniss referring to her need for Peeta as “Hunger” but not in any poetical meaningful way just I think she’s one of those girlies who chomps on her boyfriend

#the katniss bites agenda #i maintain that the first time he’s like holy shit you just bit me what the hell. #by the end of the week he’s used to it. #he never learns his lesson to keep his fingers away.
