Sunrise On The Reaping - Blog Posts

documenting my silly goo goo ga ga childhood headcanons before Sunrise of the Reaping drops and rocks my world

1. Haymitch has a bad case of a thousand yard stare on most of his post-victory photos

2. Effie is a rich kid drowning in propaganda so she fangirls about Haymitch during the games and is actually really happy to see him win (gets an axe merch bc capitalism is just cool like that)

3. They first meet in 2297 and Effie does NOT expect Haymitch to look that bad (bc she probably has no idea about his whole family being executed)👍

The haymitch x reader fics boutta go crazy

I just started reading Sunrise on the Reaping and I've had some initial thoughts

Bear in mind this may change as I read further...

So one of my friends started reading Sunrise on the Reaping and said she doesn't like it because it feels like there are too many call backs to other parts of the series that feel gimmicky and like they are catering to fans. Partially, I agree. Especially with Lenore Dove being covey. The amount it's mentioned feels a little gimmicky but it also serves a purpose in that it answers questions the readers had about what happened to these people.

Similarly the inclusion of characters that we see or hear about in the original trilogy serves the function of answering readers questions. I also think that because we know what happens to these characters it shows that Haymitch had a similar upbringing and could just as easily have ended up with a similar future to them.

What is truly tragic about this novel is that while you can see how the young Haymitch we are presented with becomes the Haymitch we know, we can also imagine all the other paths his life could have taken.

Quite similar to how Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes offers alternatives foe who Coriolanus could have been. It shows that Snow was presented with choices and ultimately chose power over everything else. For Snow the key word is choice. To some extent Haymitch has less agency but to another extent his story is about choices of when to rebel and when to stay quiet.

SOTR spoilers

As a Hayffie shipper (Lenore Dove rocks I just still love hayffie) I love the fact that SOTR has established that Effie is like six years older than Haymitch. Because I’ve always imagined in my head that after the rebellion the two of them get married and have babies (I know it’s not canon let me dream) and now I know that the children conversation would go something like this:

Effie: Haymitch, dear, I’ve been wondering…how would you feel about having children?

Haymitch: *bewildered* Effie you’re forty-eight.

And then Effie gets super offended at Haymitch’s implication that she’s too old to have kids, while Haymitch just gets increasingly confused because the absolute oldest woman to have kids in Twelve was forty-five when she gave birth, and he always just assumed that after that point it was impossible for a woman to get pregnant. Anyway, they still have kids with the help of fertility treatments and live happily ever after the end.

How I picture Lenore Dove

5 of my SOTR hcs:

1. Lenore Dove is taller than Haymitch. Like, significantly taller. Real Amazon vibes coming from her. She has to bend down slightly to kiss Haymitch, who has to stand on his tiptoes.

2. Haymitch may not be much of a singer, but if he’d ever tried he would make a really good banjo or guitar player, or an above average pianist.

3. Burdock never hated Haymitch, he just realized that there wasn’t anything he could do to help him. Still, he kept an eye on Haymitch from afar until the day he died.

4. Prim was reaped entirely by chance, but Haymitch will never believe that. He will always believe that Snow rigged it to hurt him. Same with Burdock’s mine accident.

5. Maysilee is a femme lesbian and had the most massive crush on Asterid.

haymitch being repeatedly told not to step off the plate once he's in the arena until 60 seconds are up, haymitch reminding himself of this fact, only to immedietly get distracted by a bunny he wants to pet.

I know for a fact the entire team started screeching at the tv when he reached for it

shoutout peeta for being the only one actually reaped from the d12 victors. real bad luck u got there bud

holy trinity of haymitch is just like katniss-isms

Real. I know haysilee got sunk with the “sis” comments but they were infinitely more interesting. They didnt have to be written as love interests in any manner but the sis stuff feels shoehorned…altho maybe thats the middle school haysilee shipper in me talking lol

Also i thinkn Lenore being a watered down Lucy Gray kinda hurt her. They are very, very similar, and it takes you out of the story if youve read both. When i pictured haymitch’s girl, i pictured a regular seam girl with simple dreams, and i cant help feeling that approach wouldve been better.

Additionally, idk how i feel about making lucy gray, lenore dove, and potentially even katniss all covey. I read somewhere that it showcases the poerr of culture as a resistant force to oppression, but it does also feel a bit insular snd chosen-one ish.

lenore dove doesn't haunt the narrative, she suffocates it.

Maysilee wakes up to find herself in the Capitol, and she's not sure what exactly she did so wrong as to end up in hell. Hell––this has to be––because she's wearing a fashion crime also known as a hospital gown, and she most certainly died.

But she's not dead anymore.

The 50th Hunger Games' Victor, Haymitch Abernathy, killed himself immediately upon winning. Desperate to rectify this blip, and unable to put the 1000 bits of Haymitch back together, the Gamemakers moved down the list of fallen tributes trying to resuscitate them one by one. Silka's brains were mush under Haymitch's axe. Lou Lou's brain was intact, but completely severed from the rest of her body. The rest of the tribute's bodies had long started to rot. Maysilee, despite the President's qualms with her murdering one of the Gamemakers, could be patched up with twelve stitches, a couple pints of donated blood, and some simple card-stacking of the Games' footage.

Enter: Maysilee Donner, Victor of the second Quarter Quell!

I did it! :)

I’m planning an au fic where Maysilee wins the 50th hunger games 🤭 it’ll centre around life as a mentor, up until the end of the 74th games

and she’s also a lesbian in it duh

haymitch saying “I don’t drink” hahaha so funny I have a gun in my mouth

I’m about to tweak out about the hunger games

Sotr spoilers

HEFFIE NEVER COULD’VE BEEN A THING BECAUSE HAMISH‘S HEART ALREADY BELONGED TO LENORE DOVE AND WE WERE ALL SITTING UP FAUNING OVER THEM AND ALMOST AS MUCH AS WE ARGUED ABOUT PETER OR GAIL (EVEN THOUGH EVERYONE KNOWS THE RIGHT ANSWER IS PETER BECAUSE NOBODY LIKES THE PRIM REAPER.) I SWEAR SUZANNE IS THE MOST AMAZING WRITER BUT SHE MAKES US LOOK LIKE IDIOTS OVER AND OVER AGAIN BECAUSE WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE ALREADY HAD A LOVE? I SWEAR THERE WERE 100 PEOPLE WRITING HAYMITCH AND EFFIE FANFICTION AND YOU’RE TELLING ME THAT NEVER COULD’VE HAPPENED. HIS HEART BELONGED TO LENORE DOVE. AND LET ME ADD ANOTHER THING THE MOVIE OF THE FIRST THREE BOOKS COMPLETELY STRIPPED THE REASONING OF THE HUNGER GAMES AROUND BENEATH HIS FEET BECAUSE THE IDEA THAT THE HUNGER GAMES HIGHLIGHTS THE CAPITALISTIC SOCIETY OF OUR CURRENT WORLD AND THE FACT THAT THEY ARE JUST KIDS IN THE ARENA ISN’T SHOWN PROPERLY. I HOPE THEY DO BETTER WITH THIS ONE BECAUSE I AM LOOKING SO MUCH FORWARD TO IT. I HAVE ALREADY READ THE NEW BOOK 5 TIMES. I would also like to add that they’re announcing the casting as they do the reaping to at a time and girls first. 

Reading Sunrise on the reaping made me realize that Haymitch truly didn’t drink ENOUGH.

Drink way Hay Hay you deserve it

SOTR SPOILERS

What if Burdock survived but Prim still got reaped and so Katniss still volunteered.

So now he has to face his old best friend who has never sent back a kid in 24 years. He has to face his best friend in order to try and save his daughter.

And Haymitch does it. He brings her AND Peeta back. So now Burdock has a traumatized teenager in the exact same situation as Haymitch once was and he was no idea what to do.

Now he lives in the Victors Village and sees Haymitch so often that he can’t help but miss him. Peeta and Katniss force family dinners so they have to see each other.

Katniss being in the same situation as 16 Haymitch with Snow coming over to threaten to their family and Burdock finally understands why Haymitch drove them away.

Katniss and Haymitch bonding because he knows the horrors she’s been through and she finally has the uncle she was meant to have.

Haymitch and Brudock are family again.

And somehow, despite everything. It all works out.

Do you think Burdock ever saw Haymitch in Katniss because they’re so similar.

Do you think he would miss what his best friend could have to been to Katniss and the bond they could have had because they’re were so similar?

Like Katniss and Burdock would be hanging out in the woods and Katniss would do something so similar to Haymitch that he wouldn’t help but mourn?

Just a thought
