[spiralling-thoughts]

So until the sunrise on the reaping movie is released I guess I'll be back to my regular hyperfixation although I'm falling into another hyperfixation yes I have been alluding to this for a while but cashmere and gloss have kinda been consuming my mind as well as district 1 victors and what better way to express this Then by some memes i feel like capture how I imagine their dynamics to be

( well as much sunshine as you can be when you decapitate a 13 year old and split another person's stomach open during a death match)

(they are found siblings your honor)

This is off topic but I have read on the wiki that cashmere and gloss actors actually developed a " brotherly - sisterly kind of love" and they messed around with each other on set which is SO CUTE I love it when actors get along must be making the work a lot more fun and now I wish more than ever that they had more scenes together

I think it's obvious at this point but I'm a massive district 1 fan. I hyperfixated on Facet and velvreene and now cashmere and gloss and Augustus it's only a matter of time before marvel and glimmer join the mix . DISTRICT 1 TODAY DISTRICT 1 TOMORROW DISTRICT 1 FOREVER 🫡😆

Behind Emerald, the door clicked open.

“I believe I have a few hours left,” she said, not even bothering to look away from the window. “And I’m not going to practice the stupid speech.”

“I wouldn’t either.”

Augustus’s deep voice snapped her out of her daze, and she shot up, nearly stumbling off the bench. “Shit, I thought you were Cashmere or Xanthia coming to yell at me some more.”

“Cashmere doesn’t yell at you,” he said, rolling his eyes as he sat down next to her. He rested his arm on the back of the bench, just inches from her shoulders, as he joined her looking out the window. “She’s just firm.”

“Firmly a pain in my ass.”

He chuckled, the low sound rumbling through the bench. “Want to talk to someone a little less firm about it?”

“Not really.”

“Figured not, but Valor was getting twitchy about you wandering the train alone. I think he figured you might try to jump out an unlocked window or something.”

Emerald turned away from the window to give him a skeptical look. “These windows don’t even open.”

“I did tell him that, but you know how Valor gets with you.” He chuckled again, dropping his arm from the bench to around her shoulders in a comforting squeeze. “He was ready to come hunt you down himself, but I said I’d take this one.”

“Oh goodie.” She relaxed into his touch almost reluctantly, hating just how much it really did make her feel better to have him there. “Now, I have two overprotective big brother figures.”

Augustus scoffed. “Maybe if you count Gloss, but I’m sure as hell not one of them.” He grinned, his blue eyes sparkling with a hint of mischief. “Overprotective, maybe, but I haven’t thought of you as a little sister in a long time, Em.”

Headcannons about Augustus Brawn ?

Really the only one I have is that he won the year with the spiked maces that Katniss mentioned once

[heavensbeehall]

I am always thinking about the victors. Katniss says in "Catching Fire" (the book) that there are 56 victors alive at the time of the 3rd Quarter Quell. I want to know every single one of them but obviously, we do not. (These are the only ones we know of.)

Subtracting the D12 victors, that leaves 53 from other districts. About 4-5 per district if it were distributed equally though we know it is not distributed equally and that Career districts have more victors. But non career districts should have at least two (because they are all able to field two) and probably no more than 4. But that means a lot of the Reapings for 75 were like Haymitch and Peeta. 50-50. A coin flip to see whether you live or die (actually die or die slower since the victors purge happens).

In the movies, a couple of the reapings are shown. Though I don't consider the movies to be "canon" in the sense that the filmmakers know everything, we do know Suzanne Collins is involved so it's sometimes helpful to consider.

Some movie nonsense below the cut.

District 1: We only see Cashmere and Gloss. Though we know from the website that Augustus Braun should be among the victors (if he is alive that is) as well. That gives us three victors but it feels like there should be more based on the book. Going to assume Augustus and others are just "off screen" for some reason. Maybe the Reaping was just rigged and they knew Cashmere and Gloss were going (for the "drama" of siblings fighting)?

District 2: The film shows three victors, including Enobaria and Brutus. Lyme, who we know for sure exists, is not among them. Nor is the "victor" from the 73rd games (movie canon) who smashed a kid's head in with a brick. But, I do think it'd make sense of have at least these five (2 male, 3 female) from D2.

District 4: The podium in the film has three unnamed male victors with Finnick. This gives D4, six living victors at the time of the 3rd Quell which seems reasonable to me. Four male, two female. Acceptable headcanon.

District 6: Oddly the wiki says there are three victors from six filmed. I can't really tell based on the set photos but am willing to accept the idea of three from six as reasonable. Acceptable headcanon.

[trampled-and-melting]

there's something i find particularly disturbing about district 1 career tributes.

white. blonde. blue-eyed. conventionally attractive. all of them. we have a relatively large sample size with district 1, four named and described characters in the trilogy and a fifth in bonus material and none of them, not one, breaks that mold. none of the other districts are that homogeneous. sure, there are "looks" associated with each district, you can generally tell where someone is from by looking at them, but none of them are quite so consistent.

someone is hand-selecting these kids. "attractiveness" has got to be part of the selection process in district 1. do they choose kids who look like that to train? or do they just give them more encouragement to volunteer?

and they're all loyalists, too. or seem to be. glimmer and marvel seemed eager to volunteer and were ruthless killers in the games, cashmere and gloss couldn't be trusted with the rebel plot, and augustus braun was popular, in part, for being an outspoken patriot.

and i just can't stop thinking about district 1's industry. they have made themselves one of the wealthiest and most secure districts by producing luxury goods for the capitol.

and sometimes i just think. i don't know. maybe they do.

[katiemay-025]

hey idk if you have ur requests open or not cause i couldn’t find anything that says that they’re not (or im just blind)

summary: Johanna arrives in Capitol after the war and finds out some horrible news.

wc: 3.2k

warnings: mdni, angst, use of y/n, character death, grief, not proofread.

~~~~~

Watching from the sidelines was agony. If it were for that stupid Block Test, Johanna would be storming The Capitol with you, with Finnick, with the damn Mockingjay herself. Yet, here she was in the hospital staring at the white tiled walls. She didn’t know if you were okay or not and it drove her up the wall.

Communication between the group could not be achieved without interference from the Capitol. The ‘fallen tribute’ propo was played and it nearly caused Johanna to faint. The District 7 girl marched down to Beetee and demanded to know the truth. He had shown her the hacked camera system in the Capitol where everyone in the team had gone underground except for the guy that Peeta pushed into the tar.

She replayed the seconds of you walking by the camera near the middle of the group. You had held your weapon in your right hand and your left hand fiddled with the blue hospital bracelet that Johanna had given you.

You were still alive but heading deeper into the heart of Panem. It wasn’t going to be easy for you and the team. Johanna believed in you, after all, you were nicknamed the Career Grim Reaper as you ended the 6 year career streak between Enobaria and Augustus Braun. In your Hunger Games, you won with a scythe, chopping people’s bodies and head clean in half. With the added bonus of your taller than average height of 5’9” for a woman you could reach enemies from further. As for close range combat, beetee made sure you were able to retract the staff and have your scythe double as a sickle.

A few days later was when Snow lost all his supporters by bombing his own citizens. Johanna could care less, about them. They all deserved to burn in her eyes. He was captured by the rebels and Coin wanted all the victors to watch his executions. Alas, that event would come later as members of squad 451 were injured.

She was flown to the Capitol in a helicarrier with Beetee, Haymitch and Annie. Johanna nearly threw Annie out of it for annoying her. Annie’s nervous habit of biting her nails earned glares from the district 7 victor. Coin and her sources never told them who was injured.

When the helicarrier landed, the victors were escorted through the mansion. It was like the opposite of the rescue mission where she and Annie were in the hospital beds and Finnick and you were the ones running to them.

Annie started running first, desperate to see if her husband was okay. It made Johanna run behind her to try and find you. Annie barged through the door finding Finnick with a cast on his left arm and torso. “Finnick!”

“Annie!” He held her with the same intensity he did in District 13, the same passion on their wedding day. The kissed without a care in the world as Johanna searched the room.

Her heart rate picked up the longer she spent without you. “Where’s Y/n?”

Finnick turned over and gave her a solemn look with tear stains on his cheek. “I’m sorry.” He whispered.

“What are you talking about. Where is Y/n?”

Annie had pulled away slightly curious as to his answer of where you were. In Finnick’s mind, he was reliving the moment after the Quell, when you woke up on the helicarrier and asked where Johanna was. It broke his heart because in both cases, he would have to deliver a painful blow. “She’s- she’s dead. Y/n’s dead.”

Annie gasped throwing her hand over her mouth. The room ran cold and Johanna scoffed. “If this is your idea of a joke, it’s sick.”

“You know this is something I would never joke about.” Finnick replies and Annie begins to cry.

Johanna shakes her head. “No I don’t believe you. Just bring me to her. I want to see her.”

“There is no body Johanna. She was blown up.”

“She can’t have just left nothing!” Johanna yelled, tears threatening to fall down her face. “What about her weapon, a scorched piece of clothes. The hospital bracelet I gave her as a token. Something.”

Finnick’s face twisted in pain remembering your last moments. “Nothing.” He said with his shaky voice. Unlike Johanna, he let the tears start rolling down his cheek. Annie reaches over and wipes his tears.

Johanna glared at the lovers tender moments. Oh how she wanted that more than anything right now. After all you and her have been through, that much was owed to her. She pushes her feelings down with a deep breath. “Tell me- tell me what happened. Please.”

Finnick closed his eyes and winced. Johanna saw him thumb the small robe he had with him. “We escaped underground to rest for a bit. We woke to lizard mutts tracking Katniss’ scent but it didn’t matter, they ripped through anything that moved.

“We lost most of the district 13 soldiers before we decided to get out of the sewers. They had us at a choke point, we were surrounded and we had to go up an old rusty ladder.

“We were one of the last ones to go up. When I climbed. The mutts pulled me down by my shoulder and parts of the ladder with me. I heard the crack in my arm and I thought I was dead. Y/n saved my life, she killed the mutts around me with her scythe, threw me over her shoulder and ran. The camera crew shot at the mutts behind us but they kept coming.

“Y/n got us to another ladder and pushed me up. Pollux and Gale were there to pull me out of the sewers.”Finnick paused as he began to cry again. “I thought- I thought she was right behind me but all I heard was her screaming. She was nowhere in sight. The mutts had gotten to her and they were ripping her apart. Katniss blew them up and put Y/n out of her misery.”

Finnick barely finished retelling your last moments before Johanna stormed out of the infirmary. Her feet brought her to a room of glass vases and ceramic podiums. They must’ve had some significance to Snow but she didn’t care. Her breath quickened. She swiped at the glass and watched them shatter on the ground. She shoved the podiums over and let them crack.

Johanna rampaged through the room throwing and kicking anything that could break. The glass, the clay. She hated it all. You were dead only several hours before the war ended. It wasn’t fair, of all people, you didn’t deserve to die. You were good. Johanna fell to her knees, not caring about the broken glass cutting up her legs. She clumped a bunch in her hands and watched as the red liquid cascaded down to the floor. The red contrasting against the white marble floor as pure as snow.

Snow. Everything went back to him. Her pain, her losses: Her family, you. You. Your suffering. Your agony. Your death. It was all his fault. Johanna grunted in anger before turning from the room. She didn’t care if Katniss wanted to be the one to kill snow, Johanna had every right to kill him.

Before she could though, one of the training doctors saw her bloody hand and Johanna was taken to the infirmary. They were gentle with her and she hated it. Memories of defying the District 13 doctors swirled in her mind. She had refused to allow treatment in fear of it being a facade. She was afraid to be hurt again and you stayed by her side glaring at the Doctors who would cause Johanna to even wince.

The cut on her hand didn’t hurt despite the amount of blood coming through. The pain came from her chest. How it beat against her rib cage like it was trapped and trying to squeeze through the ridges and jump out of her body. Johanna even felt her heart beat in her throat and it made her nauseous. Her breath quickened as she tried to swallow the lump in her throat.

She stepped away quickly from the doctors, not caring if they hadn’t finished patching her up. Something overcame her, despite her hate for the Hunger Games, she went to the library where all the games were stored in the archive. Johanna cradled your taped game in her bloody hand.

There was a small lounge area with a television and the District 7 victor sat firmly in it watching your game. You were 16 at the time and besides the baby fat you almost looked the same now. The same muscular features highlighted your tall stature. She spent 3 hours watching you and your games and when it was done, she rewinded all the way to the beginning to watch it again.

Another reason for your nickname being the Career Grim Reaper was that you killed them all. You managed to join the careers and at night during your watch, The other district 9 tribute emerged from the bushes and together you slit their throats. The other two barely had time to react to the cannons before you sliced their heads off.

Your partner tried to get the upper hand on you when you shook hands but you quickly held him in a choke hold yelling at him to stop. He kept thrashing and managed to stab you in the arm. With great reluctance in your face and a quick apology, you snapped his neck.

The 68th Hunger Games was replayed a few times before someone came looking for Johanna. Being the stubborn and cranky woman she was, she stayed in the single seat, ignoring her stomach’s call for food just to see you. She could feel your spirit and your strength as if you were sitting next to her. It felt comforting.

The house maid brought her food at Finnick’s request and Johanna proceeded to ‘rot’ in front of the televisions. She only got up to use the restroom for the next week. Then a district 13 soldier came to ask her to a meeting. She didn’t want to go through the trouble of finding you tape again so she pocketed it.

She was greeted by some of the other victors, Finnick, Annie, Beetee, Peeta, Haymitch and surprisingly Enobaria. Katniss walked in and Johanna glared daggers at the mockingjay. That brainless girl was the reason you’re dead, but the death of her sister enough pain for her. She’d know the meaning of loss for the rest of her life.

President Coin gathered the remaining victors and with a short protest, Johanna found that Enobaria, along with herself, Peeta, and Annie, they were granted immunity. Shes still trying to to kill Enobaria, she was probably lying comfortably in her bed while everyone else fought for their freedom. She proposed a vote for a symbolic hunger games.

This was unfair. You were a victor you should’ve been there at the vote. It was your right. It was upsetting how you were hours away from a stop at this table. Regardless, in her anger and revenge she votes yes in hopes that Snow’s granddaughter gets reaped and he has to watch her die.

After the vote, came the execution. Everyone far and wide came to witness the death of a tyrannical dictator. Imagine being hated so much that everyone comes to witness your execution. Katniss broke her promise again! Instead of killing Snow, she killed Coin. Across the way, she could hear Snow’s maniacal laughter. Johanna clenched her fists and she felt the glass piece from last week cut her hand. The girl quickly pulled it out and flung at Snow’s head.

She watched a brilliant spray of blood and his laughter cease. People shoved her aside as they stormed to get their hands on President Snow. If he wasn’t dead from the glass in his face, he’d be dead from the crowd. Either way, he wouldn’t get the last laugh.

One of the guards, yanked her from the crowd and pulled her to safety. Yeah, protect the victor. Where was this level of security for you? They sent the victors back to their districts and before she got on hers, Finnick and Annie approached her.

“We know how much you love the forest, so when you need a break with watching that tape, eat something okay. We’re going to figure things out on our end so we can go to District 7 with you.”

“I’m not a child Finnick, I’ll be fine.”

“Don’t fight us on this. If I come over and smell the stench of rotting flesh I will bring you back from hell to kill you myself.” Finnick stepped closer to threaten her.

“Really? Threatening a victor?”

“Yes, how low of me. I’m not threatening a victor, I’m threatening my best friend.”

Johanna snapped her head at him as he used those words. If looks could kill, Finnick would’ve been in hell. “Don’t call me that! We both know Y/n was your best friend and I swear if you erase her…”

“She saved my life. I’m not erasing her. It’s just that she’s de- I can have two best friends.”

“No you can’t.”

“Okay fine. I’m threatening my best friend’s lover. I owe her that much, to take care of you.”

On the train ride home, she watched your game again. Feeling prouder and prouder of what you had done. Watching you at that young age, you were like a stranger to her. A stranger she knew everything about.

She knew your hobby which was beer crafting. She knew your family consisting of just your grandfather who passed away at the old age of 83 a few months after the 73rd Hunger Games. She knew how the rest of them died, your mom dying in childbirth and your father dying a couple months after from heartbreak. She knew about your spunk, any thought you said, you said without muttering. She knew about your habit, like how you’d pick at the skin around your finger nails or the way your eye twitches when someone chews with their mouth open. She knew of your fears, like your fear of the dark and being alone with no one to love you. She knew your favorite food, her own Marionberry pie with a bit of ice cream on the top. She knew the way you’d pick up the telephone by saying hello twice in quick succession. She even knew your fighting style and that you preferred close quarter combat.

After finding out about your passing she had yet to cry. Annie had cried, Finnick cried, Katniss almost cried. Hell even Enobaria cried. Her voice had broke on the phone a few months after returning home and she cried to Johanna. She just pulled the phone away from her ear and brought it back when she thought Enobaria was done. Alas, she was still in tears. Johanna managed a ‘there there’ and called it a day.

It wasn’t because she didn’t miss you she missed you everyday. She just couldn’t cry even if she wanted to. It’s as if she’s wasted all her tears before ever truly knowing you. She watched your games less and less throughout the years, and the Odair’s even named their daughter after you.

There were days where she couldn’t get up because of the heartache and then days like today she hadn’t thought of you so far. Finnick and Annie had their kids over for her birthday tomorrow and Johanna played with them as they splashed through the splash pad. Annie slowly got Johanna to be comfortable with the water.

She was turning 24 tomorrow and it dawned on Johanna that you never got to be 24, dying a few months short. You would never get the chance to be 24, 25, 26 and so on. She didn’t know what overcame her, before she knew it her tears fell out of her eyes torrentially.

Wiping at her tears, Johanna grew crazy when they wouldn’t stop. The time for crying was long over. It’s been over for 3 years. She was okay now, Johanna was sure of it. The weight of grief had lifted off her chest already, but now she felt it all. You were forever going to be 23 and she was going to be older than you now. The last time she saw you in person was when you told her you’d ‘see her soon’. She never got to see you again and anytime she conjured up an image of you, it was the 16 year old stranger. It was unfair.

She bit her lip to stop herself but the moment your namesake saw the glistening skin under her eye, her small hands shook the victor’s shoulder asking, “Aunty Jo? Are you okay?”

“Y/n I’m okay.” She looked into the child’s eye and burst into tears. Johanna pulls Finnick and Annie’s second child in for a hug and bawls repeating your name. The parents snapped into action when they heard the crying only to find Johanna in tears.

It was Annie that arrived first. Her daughter stood there confused and wouldn’t move when Annie tried to pull her away. Your namesake wrapped her arms around Johanna to let her cry. Finnick arrived shortly after seeing Annie pat her on the back. He mouthed ‘what happened’ to his wife but she only shrugged.

The couple were at a loss for words, but luckily, as parents, they knew what to do. They tried to pry Johanna from their daughter but she held on. It wasn’t until later at dinner when Johanna spoke up.

“I don’t want to celebrate my birthday.”

Finnick and Annie darted their eyes between each other and their honorary oldest child. “Why not?” Johanna mumbled her answer. “What was that?”

“I said I don’t want to be older than Y/n! I don’t want to be 24 when she’s stuck at 23! She had so much ahead of her. I’m forgetting what she looks like, what she sounds like. I miss her laugh. At this point she might as well be a stranger. I had no right to cry.”

“Everyone has a right to cry Johanna, we do it. Tears don’t make you weak and you can designate time to cry but it doesn’t mean grieving is over. It comes and goes. We tell our kids about Y/n, they remember her through stories. They practically know everything about her at least from what we knew of her. We keep her alive that way.” Annie tells as Johanna pouts.

“It’s unfair.” Johanna says.

“Auntie Jo.” Your namesake called. “Mommy and daddy say we live for the people who cannot.” Johanna smiles hearing your words echo throughout the Odair family.

“Yeah even if we never met old Y/n, it’s like we still know her!” Their son joined in.

That was who you are now, a stranger the people around you know everything about and although it has its sad moments you live on through memory.

Notes:

The Victor of the 39th Game, Reese Arrowroot, was assigned male at birth and when they were reaped they were reaped as such. After winning their games they came out as genderfluid, but in terms of Hunger Games situations they fill the function of a male victor still.

Carrick Manannán turned 19 during his games making him the oldest victor to win.

In total there are 37 male victors (or filling the function of male) and 36 female victors. By the time of the Third Quarter Quell there are 30 female victors and 28 male victors left alive.

The first ten victors (with Lucy Gray presumed dead), Florence Bitterroot, Devante Ford, Kaiona Minamoto, Magnolia Tian, Valentino Altamura, and Paris Doré are dead by the time of the Third Quarter Quell.

Poppy Rustweed is the Female Morphling and Christopher Mercury is the Male Morphling.

Kaiona Minamoto is descended from Native Hawaiians who fled to the west coast before the fall of America, as well as being Japanese on her father's side. Hafsa Mecca is Arabic and part of small group in District 6 that still practice Islam. Paisley Nainsook is of Indian descent. Pyro Hoshino is of Japanese descent. Magnolia Tian is of Delta Chinese descent. Obviously there are more poc victors but I thought these names would stick out immediately and I wanted to give explanations.

t.he h.unger g.ames au bullet point verse write up:

❄️ born to two victors in district one, khione’s fate had been sealed from the moment she drew breath. if only because, for a moment, nobody was sure if she was going to make it that far. saraswati’s pregnancy had been arduous. more dangerous, even, than her own participation in the hunger games. evander, for his part, never feared more for his life than those nine months; he almost lost the love of his life, after all, and he’d rather get back into the arena than face even the possibility of a life without his wife.

❄️ both the people living in the wealthier districts and the people residing in the capitol know who she is. (maybe some of the people living in the poorer districts do too.) everything about her life - from her first steps to khione coming out of the closet - has been carefully curated and televized.

❄️ her parents - now an actor and a reality tv personality, respectively - expect her to volunteer. and volunteer she did. (quite unlike her half brother, zach braun, whose relative, augustus braun, won the 67th hunger games and is still known as the cavalier career and panem’s favorite son.) if there is anything she knows, it’s how to sway a crowd. if there’s anything she knows, it’s how to perform, how to tell a story. khione goossens goes on to win her hunger games, earning the nickname freeze girl due to the fact that she survived, thrived, in those harsh, frigid conditions. but then, she’s always been a winter maiden, a frozen girl - her body has never been able to regulate it’s own temperature; she needs external heat sources to stay (and remain) warm. is it any wonder, then, that she’s drawn to warren peace (who survived a literal trial by fire during his games) in the aftermath?

[barksback]

YOU HEAR THE CONFLICT BEFORE YOU SEE IT, a small voice begging as prey fumbles through the forest. his breathing is coming quick, bordering on hyperventilation. it isn't long before he comes crashing through the foliage below you, stumbling, foot catching on the gnarled roots jutting this way and that. skinny limbs flail as he desperately tries to catch himself before his face smashes into the dirt. heavy-footed predator is soon to follow - an older, taller boy wielding a spear; you immediately recognize him as kai, one of district four's tributes ( and part of the career pack, surely in cahoots with that loathsome augustus braun ).

from your spot in the trees, you have a clear view of the two tributes below you, the scene barely illuminated by slivers of moonlight filtering through the leaves. this is the perfect hiding spot.

no. it's the perfect advantage. you remember kai well; arrogant and unbearable, his taunting voice and grating laughter is incredibly familiar. you remember the ten kai had scored, too; he was immediately filed away under distinct threats in your mind. with both tributes completely unaware of your presence, you have the perfect opportunity to take kai out of the game with very little consequence.

you ready your axe as kai readies his spear. unflinching, unblinking, you send it flying. with a sickening thunk, the blade finds its home in kai's skull. the boy below him cries out as blood drips down kai's face, district four's tribute swaying and sputtering before crashing to the ground. it isn't until the canon finally fires that you make your descent.

now able to get a closer look, you finally recognize the younger tribute as

' you're axel, yeah? from district six? ' you firmly plant your boot on kai's lower back as you pull your axe free, wiping the blade clean on his shirt. axel is certainly one of the lesser threats; quite short and skinny, with an unimpressive training score of four.

when you turn back to him, he's still on the ground, terrified, wide eyes brimming with tears. ' wait, you- you remember me? '

' don't feel too special. i remember everyone. ' it occurs to you that you could take him out- quite easily, too. he's prone; he hasn't moved an inch despite having plenty of time to take off. he's got little more than a hunting knife gripped in his unsteady hand. at most, he'd swing it blindly at you. might manage to nick you before you bring the axe down into the center of his skull. it would be so easy.

kai must've thought the same exact thing. axel is a wisp of a boy, no older than thirteen. there is no advantage that he holds over you, or any of the remaining tributes, for that matter. it would be so easy.

instincts are screaming for you to disappear into the shadows, leave axel to sort his own affairs, but the thought of seeing his portrait in the sky by the end of the week makes your chest ache. with a quiet sigh, you're securing your axe in its holster and approaching axel, hand outstretched. ' jake, district seven. ' he's lowering the knife, terror turning into confusion. ' don't just stare at me, kid, c'mon. we need to clear out before the rest of the pack comes looking for him. '

his trembling hand grasps yours like a lifeline, and you haul him to his feet. still, he remains suspicious. ' why're you helping me? '

because you're scared and helpless and you weren't built to last this, you're just a damn kid. ' honestly? i don't know. ' you begin to make your way farther into the forest, not bothering to check to see if axel is following you or not. ' do not make me regret this. '

Hey!!!

I’m interested in your thoughts: how many living Victors do you think each District has at the time of the QQ reaping?

omg hi!! thank you so much for the ask, i love talking about the victors!! iirc there were 59 victors still alive shortly before the quell, so here's what i think:

1: 11 total, 8 living: Jasper Montgomery (2nd, dec.); Ruby Red Bird (6th); Mirage Dubois (17th); Luxe Cloud (22nd); Jade Crawford (30th); Onyx O'Hara (42nd); Amber Nova Astor-Moon (51st); Quartz Whitegrass (59th); Cashmere Davenport (63rd); Gloss Davenport (64th); Crystal Chanel Michaels (66th)

2: 14 total, 11 living: Rex Barnes (1st, dec.); Atticus Nader (4th, dec.); Diana Roseman (8th, dec.); Florence Malina (19th); Ace Robinson (27th); Violet Rashid (28th); Valerie Banks (36th); Brutus Kumar (40th); Emmeline (Lyme) Lin (46th); Leo Kalinin (52nd); Sebastian Kim (56th); Enobaria Moore (62nd); Augustus Braun (67th); Julian Stone (72nd)

3: 5 total, 4 living: Edie Faris (13th, dec.); Sofie Park (26th); Beetee Latier (33rd); Wiress Payne (48th); Gage Patel (54th)

4: 10 total, 9 living: Tomi Ando (5th, dec.); Magdalena (Mags) Flanagan (11th); Caspian Zhang (15th); Siobhan Sullivan (24th); Dylan Kahale (32nd); Estrella Williams (39th); Pearl Davis (49th); Halia Kane (55th); Finnick Odair (65th); Anemone (Annie) Cresta (70th)

5: 4 total, 3 living: Dacie Quinn (16th, dec.); Porter Millicent Tripp (38th); Wyatt Medina (44th); Vander Allen (61st)

6: 3 total, 2 living: Basma Ford (23rd, dec.); Adrienne Mercedes Hughes (43rd); Miles Horowitz (60th)

7: 5 total, 3 living: Phyll Thomas (9th, dec.); Olive Sato (20th, dec.); Grover Hits Back (41st); Blight Hackman (58th); Johanna Mason (71st)

8: 4 total, 4 living: Woof Dimatteo (12th); April Webber (21st); Sasha Travin (35th); Cecelia Balan (57th)

9: 5 total, 4 living: Malt Waters (7th); Robin Blue Ryan (25th, dec.); Maisie Olson (34th); Erika Miller (53rd); Isaac Mesteth (68th)

10: 4 total, 3 living: Vina Garza (18th); Aubrey Flores (29th, dec.); Paxton Bernal (47th); Bel Cuervo (73rd)

11: 6 total, 5 living: Cane Harrison (3rd, dec.); Honeydew Hayes (14th); Seeder Chapman (31st); Harvey McLean (37th); Chaff Santana (45th); Clementine Jones (69th)

12: 4 total, 3 living: Lucy Gray Baird (10th, dec.); Haymitch Abernathy (50th); Katniss Everdeen & Peeta Mellark (74th)

i think that the majority of the deceased victors passed away from old age, with the exception of a few (general TW because this gets dark):

Dacie Quinn (D5, 16th Games): died of cancer at the age of 53 (56 ADD)

Olive Sato (D7, 20th Games): died in childbirth at age 40 (42 ADD)

Basma Ford (D6, 23rd Games): died from a morphling overdose at age 27 (32 ADD)

Robin Blue Ryan (D9, 25th Games): murdered at age 37 (44 ADD) (imo he was a very unpopular victor in D9 because a) he was voted in, and b) as D9's first actual mentor, he didn't do very well, bringing home only one tribute in the 19 years he mentored)

Aubrey Flores (D10, 29th Games): drowned in his bathtub while drunk at age 40 (53 ADD)

Onyx O'Hara (D1, 42nd Games): died by suicide at age 26 (50 ADD)

anyways... thank you SO much for the ask, i'd love to hear what you think :3

[kald-dal-art]

do you have headcanon ages for when each of the victors (or just your victor ocs) won their games?

New Ficlet: The One Who Comes After (Hunger Games AU)

This is a standalone entry from Favors Outtakes: A special bond forms between each victor and their immediate successor. Other mentors may offer advice and guidance, but the predecessor offers comfort. Here are a few tidbits about a few victors and their relationships with their successors, including Gloss, Finnick, Beetee, Seeder, Wiress, Haymitch, Enobaria, Cashmere, Annie, and Johanna.

As a token of my gratitude to my amazing readers for the truly wonderful feedback I’ve received these past few weeks, I am doing a triple update tonight, including Chapter 5 of To Stay or To Go and an extra-long, early update of Favors!

Enjoy! Discussion and debate joyfully welcomed, as are questions and criticism of all kinds!  Feedback! My kingdom for feedback!
