That moment when you finally understand what it means for someone to be so pretty it hurts
okay i've had multiple anons asking for my opinion so i'm just gonna say this here: i think y'all are thinking about the hayffie age gap a little too hard.
at most they are 5-6 years apart. and this isn't me condoning university grads getting into relationships with high school students but, and here's the thing, hayffie literally aren't romantic at this point and (by general fandom lore standards) they won't be for a very, very long time. most hayffie lore has them getting together in their late 30s to 40s. and idk if the mere idea of an adult effie seeing a teenage haymitch like at most 3 to 4 times across the span of several years before he becomes an adult himself makes you uncomfortable i don't really know what to tell you. even after they're both adults, i feel like it's a loooong road before they start looking at eachother with even the slightest bit of attraction, by which point i feel like the 5-6 years is kinda superfluous. the fact that there is no indication of the age different in thg and cf should tell u exactly how superfluous it is by the time they hit middle age.
*weeps violently* effie trinket, oh how i love you.
I ADORE purple hair effie! As for the storyline of sotr, in my head she got into uni early (she was said to be a ‘genius’ so fight me on that) and was by far the youngest and coolest of her year. i just know her outfits would devour every single lecture. and she’d probably sport an artsy tote bag. I’ve added references to her butterfly look (see jewellery), where we see the actual skin of her shoulders (see spaghetti straps) and i’ve also included some gold in reference to our beloved T.E.A.M., who should totally have been allowed to reunite in the epilogue. GET MY FAMILY BACK TOGETHER.
Headcanon that effie has gorgeous curly hair. why? because i said so. I gave her a hairstyle I often wear (mainly because I’d find it easier to draw, lmao) and i think it would frame her still-youthful face so well. for me it was important to have it falling as freely and messily as possible, in contrast to how she is when katniss meets her, several years into a job she never wanted and forced to cover her natural expressive curls with wigs that are carefully styled, not a hair out of place. the day effie wore a wig was the day we lost a baddie.
As for the quote, it hits SO different now and i’m not sure i can handle it. currently managing by drawing freckles all over effie. i cannot BELIEVE that someone that young would start thinking of cosmetic surgeries. my girl should’ve been worrying about late assignments!
side note: i lost my stylus and had to do this with my finger so there’s no tasty lineart right now (rip) but a revised version to come if my lunacy continues into next week. ALSO, i’m thinking about doing haymitch as well, just to really rub salt in the wound.
Why are you literally me???
Also my fav. female characters:
it's a big time for gay people
I feel like the ouat universe is so messed up age gaps barely even matter in relationships except dear god don't you dare ship adult henry with any of the townspeople
