Odesta - Blog Posts

I saw you recently did one like this but I still wanted to ask, (sorry) because I like your blog very very much. Do you have any other recs that take place during Annie’s games, with like the development in the relationship between Annie and finnick? If the ending is with Finn 💀 that’s ok but preferably not… it can be short or long

Love your writing style btw

Hi, thanks so much for your interest! I don’t know how many new recs I’ll be able to give you since I just did a similar list, but I’ll try. I also might be mentioning fics I’ve put on previous lists, but they were from a long time ago so you might not have seen them. If you haven't already, I would strongly recommend looking at my other lists because there are many stories there that fit your request!

The first two have been mentioned on other lists, and the rest are new.

Breathe by The_Twisted_Kingdom - This is a long one that starts at Annie’s Games. I like the dramatic irony in here because they don’t know each other and Annie doesn’t know what Finnick is doing in the Capitol. I will mention that it's incomplete and hasn't been updated for about three years, so just a warning about that.

Just Us by Nanyoky - This is another one that I really like and it's similar to the one above. It is completed (and canon compliant, sorry) but the story wraps up nicely. This could be a good read if you haven't checked it out yet.

this little universe between our backs by electrumqueen - This is a short one but it fits your request and is so beautiful. There's such a strong command of language here that really makes it a compelling read.

(no) hope in the water by rhllors - This is in a similar style to the last one. I really like how it portrays the brutality of the Games and Annie's resilience through it, as well as her and Finnick's relationship.

Five boys who were not Finnick Odair. by sakurasencha - This is a cool take on Finnick and Annie's dynamic, as well as Annie's history. It's a nonlinear narrative dealing mostly in flashbacks, but the central point of the story is Annie's Games and the aftermath. This could be a good read if you're looking for something unique.

Where the Sun Meets the Sea by sunflowersmile - This one really fleshes out Annie's life and her relationship with Finnick outside of the Games, although the Games are a focal point. It's alternating POV with Finnick and Annie so it's also cool to see both sides.

Not About Heroes by EmilyRose34 - This is a fic with the classic premise of Annie's Games, but what I think makes this one unique is the dynamic created between Finnick and Annie. It really helps illustrate the "she crept up on me" line because they don't really register each other right away. I really like the slow burn here.

I hope you can find something, and feel free to reblog with additions or self-promo if you want!

here’s an Odesta for the first time in months

My Hunger Games Playlist

AKA songs I'd love to make animatics to but that requires SO MUCH time that instead I just daydream what it'd look like

I Bet On Losing Dogs by Mitski- Obviously I'm not the first to say this, but it's a very Haymitch song (at least to me) specifically about him being a mentor

Yeti by Paris Paloma- The tragedy of Katniss and Gale's friendship falling apart because it IS a tragedy that makes my heart hurt when I think about it too much. They were each other's safe place to be children and now that's gone forever.

From Eden by Hozier- Finnick's POV about himself and his relationship with Annie throughout the years. The song sounding so upbeat but the lyrics being so hopeless (but not about her) and self deprecating is very Finnick to me

Eat Your Young by Hozier- Honestly this one could just be an anthem for Panem, specifically through President Snow's POV

Pale White Horse by The Oh Hellos- This song sounds like its straight out of the books tbh. It'd be Katniss's journey throughout the books, specifically through her relationship with President Snow.

Curses by The Crane Wives- Katniss and Peeta growing back together but still trying to process the trauma of everything they've been through while living on the mass graves of everything they've ever known.

my hunger games characters height head-canons (even though nobody asked)

Annie and Finnick:

I’ve seen so many fics where Annie is short and that’s cute of course, but tall Annie oh my goodness. She has my heart!! Also I feel like a lot of the short Annie headcanons is just because they want a cute height difference between her and Finnick (also because her movie actors super short, love stef but this is my book headcanons) but guys, they can still have a cute height difference with them both being tall. So I headcanon Finnick as 6’4 (I had trouble deciding with Finnick because I know 6’4 is like, uncommon? I dont know if it’s THAT uncommon) and Annie is 5’9 because I couldn’t decide between 5’8-5’10 so I picked 5’9 because it’s right in the middle. Also I don’t want ANYBODY saying “oh, 5’9 isn’t that tall” it is for a woman pleaaaseee!!! anyway, it’s still a cute height difference right?

Also I saw somebody that reposted one of my posts that was like “Katniss for the short girlies, Annie for the tall girlies, and the tall girlie gets the tall guy” and yes exactlyyy. Also this is more of a personal preference I am so sick of the extremely short petite girl with the tall, muscular guy it was cute at first (and it still can be cute if played right) but now I feel like it’s all I see and I need more tall girl x tall guy relationships

Also im a firm believer in swimmers body Annie, im a firm believer in most district four people having swimmers body’s actually like fight me if you disagree it makes so much sense.

HI! I've been busy with work and other projects, but I really missed drawing my two favorites so Here's a sketch of Finnick and Annie giggling over something only they find funny

Not too close.

HELLO DEAR ARTIST i’m so sorry for spam liking your content but i just discovered your account and absolutely love your art style and your art!!!!! obsessed with the way u draw all the characters (and love the amount of finnick and annie content 😭😭)

anyways! just wanted to send off a lil message to let u know that u are so so talented! and to say hello as a new follower :)

Thank you so much you're so nice 😭😭😭😭

And Annie and Finnick are my favorite!! (I was actually drawing them today haha)

Bonus: Annie reassuring him about it post reunion

I was looking at my drawing I did of Finnick from a few days ago and thought the random stray hair highlights I added actually looked more like gray hairs. And then I couldn't shake the idea of (handsome, darling of The Capitol) Finnick going gray at 24 from all the stess, bad diet, lack of light, etc that he went through at the beginning of Mockingjay

"...I had to forgive Finnick for his role in the conspiracy that landed me here. He, at least, has some idea of what I'm going through. And It takes too much energy to stay angry at someone who cries so much." -Mockingjay, pg 12

Lazy Summer Morning

Lazy Summer Morning

I realized we never got to see Finnick in an outfit he would have chosen for himself :(

I think he would like "grandpa" style clothes: -Comfortable and loose-fitting -Warm, soft colors -Fun but cozy patterns

I think he'd like that.

The amount of comfort Finnick and Annie must have had to bring each other over the years makes me weepy

Omg guys they're so alive and breathing and loving, I hope nothing bad happens to them <3

You're right what was I thinking lmao (Thank you!!)

The ending they deserved :(

Annie Cresta

When ever I know I want to draw a character multiple times (OC or fanart),I make a quick "character sheet" that's not really a character sheet but just a full body and a bust.

it’s so funny to me that that “biggest” odesta fans doesn’t even like finnick that much
