THG Sketchbook dump old drawings and requests so thanks to people who gave my drawing suggestions 🫶

TBOSAS gave an intense look at the map of panem pre-president snow era, so I pieced it together to make a more official map than anything i've seen thus far. plus, i'm insane about fictional maps for literally no reason. [keep in mind, this is shitty screenshots that i've put together and the screen the map appears on (during lucky's weather report) appears to be rounded, so some of the proportions and such might be off. ] more stuff under the cut

so, these are the images i used to make this:

and i pieced them together as best i could, some of the borders, like the bottom right of 12 and the bottom of 5 became sort of a guessing game because they were covered up/hard to see.

doing that and cropping/pasting them together gave me this image (same as at the top of post)

red lines are clear country borders, yellow are district borders, purple is any of the areas i was unsure about. As we can see from this, districts 7, 10, and 13 (not labelled on this map because at this point in canon-time, it's 'gone') have no definite ending borders, so it's hard to even guess where they would end at. using this i made this more polished map using each district's colours that are listed on fandom dot com

the unclear edges are left blurred because really i don't know where they end...

we know that panem is formerly north america, so i laid the image over a map of north america and got this:

it took a little adjusting because again, my map is based off of a warped television screen, but, we end up with something like this. some interesting things to note is that a lot of coast has presumably eroded away as time passed -- we lost all of baja, and most of florida and socal, and some of virginia and north carolina, and many pieces of the mexican states, though none in their entirety . the places where panem extends over NA water spaces (districts 6, 7, 13) are either from receding water levels or translation issues from the warping of the in-movie screen... or, my own personal error, i guess lol.

again, as far as 7, 10, and 13, their end borders are up to speculation, but i'd imagine 7 extends up to near the edge of the northern canadian borders and maybe into alaska -- though i can't say because that's a huge chunk of space (it is the lumber district, though, so it probably goes as high as the trees are...). same goes for 10: i'd guess it goes south a bit more to near the nartual borders, but likely in any low-elevation areas (near the southern provinces) the sea has swallowed up the land. as for 13, it likely extends more near norther quebec and out toward the maritime provinces (though i'd estimate that most of those are either completely underwater or complete above it, so there's no islands going on). truly though, it's anyone's guess, so let me know your thoughts on it if you made it this far down!

future-panem, like during the events of the hunger games, definitely has changed district borders. we knows there's fencing and forbidden area, so the districts are definitely far smaller and there's space between them (no man's land) so that there is little-to-no communication between districts.

anyway, thanks for checking this out, i spent too much time on this to come out with very little practical use, but if you're like me and you like knowing where fictional locations are/how they're laid out, this is for you

district 6 headcanons! 🚂

yeah, i'm a d6 fan too!!! sue me! here are my top hcs that i use for worldbuilding. if you've read my fic, "o children", then you'll recognize a lot of these things.

industry things

district 6 has many industries involving transportation. oil rigging companies, vehicle manufacturing factories (that they call 'manu-factories' for short), exporters and importers, etc..

exporters and importers get to travel outside of the district for a few weeks at a time, but their activity is monitored by peacekeepers quite heavily.

exporters and importers have the most access to morphling, and consume it more too. of course, there's rings that trade it and such, but people (and those in different districts) usually get their fixes through them.

i can imagine d6 being a work accident prone district. falling off trains, spilling oil, falling manufactured parts, etc..

as part of my fic, there's also an underground boxing ring ran by the peacekeepers to keep themselves entertained, but also to put money in the pockets of those who might not wanna end up in prison and need an... alternative to jail time. i hc that other districts have it too! maybe in d2?

^ OOH! speaking of which, what if career districts developed it into academies while others had it die down/kept more on the down low?

places

VERY polluted district. like, they have to have air purifiers in their homes and wear "outdoor masks" made out of cloth around their faces type of polluted. i also think districts that manufacture things -- like 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 12 -- also have a smilar problem.

i think the problem is concentrated more on the urban areas or people who live next to the factories/train stations.

apparently their population is larger than the average district, according to the fandom wiki, so i imagine that the poorer section of the district live near the factories in large apartment buildings. a neighborhood that i've created is called "farren heights".

meanwhile, the richer folks lived in townhouses/rowhouses. they have more of their own space, but the houses are still very, very squished together. another neighborhood i've created is called "peregrine court".

between the two is their marketplace/commercial area called "traveler's square". of course, they'll have their own shops in their respective neighborhoods, but it's not as plentiful as traveler's square. they need those spaces to create new apartment units or housing developments for the growing population. TS brings them together as it has all the fun pubs, shops, etc..

i think they travel within the district via a smaller metro/train system!

i also believe that due to their growing population, and because not everyone can afford the rent, they have a group of people they call "vagabonds". they build their own homes, but because of the expenses, they don't have their own purifiers. they are the most affected by the pollution.

cultural influences?!

DISCLAIMER: i don't claim being part of the cultures mentioned, so if anyone wants to drop some info, feel free to comment or send an ask so that i can incorporate it into my d6 lore! <3

german and indigenous algonquin are their dominant cultures. (hugest shout out to @pottershawkinswp and @wxstfulthoughts for helping me with the german stuff TM).

this is b/c there was a big migration of german people in this region some time ago. and the indigenous tribes that occupy these lands are algonquin!

the more minor cultures are black and latino! this is because of the fact that they have a very, very small portion of illinois/chicago according to the fandom wiki 😜

potatoes are their main source of carbs. and they have a lot of german-style foods like cheese soup, cold breakfast, etc..

along with travel/manufacture themed names, i also think some people have german influences in their names or surnames.

as for indigenous influence, i can see the youngsters referring to the older people as "elders". they also definitely pass down cultures through story-telling or word of mouth.

i also think they have a cryptid called the W. nothing else to the name, just the W. it's known today as the w*ndigo, but b/c i'm scared TM of the taboo that saying its name will bring it closer to you, i will not say it 😇 over time, the name was forgotten and just became known as the singular letter!

those of indigenous descent would keep their hair long in braids. i believe beading is implemented into their clothes too :)

these folks definitely line dance, a bit of jazz, bit of freestyling. very lively and very rowdy, free, etc.. they're there for a good time, not a long one!

HEAR ME OUT: district 6 greasers. i'm talking the outsiders, random fights, overly gelled hair, cigarette in mouth, and greaser v. socs battles in very sketchy alleyways.

yeah! that's all i have off the top of my head. this was longer than i thought 😭 feel free to incorporate these into your own d6 lore, but yeah! i 💜 district 6

The more I think about Titus the more tragic he becomes he's a prime example of the capitol cruelty they threw that kid into a wasteland against his well with no food or water and no one sent him a sponsor or supplies that he was left with no choice but cannibalism and the capitol killed him for it for taking such drastic measures to survive when he wouldn't have to if they didn't shove him in a arena to a death match

district six → transportation

“our hovercraft, our high-speed trains, and our cargo trains come to us from district six. ironically, the citizens here have little love for travel.”

i like this one :)

Part 3 of Panem’s ✨Districts✨ as seen by the 24 OG Mentors in my TBOSAS on Crack!AU.

PS: This is after they met their “totally normal, not crazy” Tributes.

District 5 (Electricity Duct Tape & Lightning Bait) according to Dennis Fling after meeting Hy.

District 5 (Electricity Electric Batteries & Potato Galleries) according to Iphigenia Moss after meeting Sol.

District 6 (Transportation Thomas & Friends) according to Apollo Ring after meeting Otto.

District 6 (Transportation Transformers & Pop Dancers) according to Diana Ring after meeting Ginnee.

[hungergamesheadcanons]

Just out of interest if you were to assign every district a probability of having their tribute be victor what would it be?

I'm leaning towards-

District 1 (Luxury Goods): 25%

District 2 (Masonry and Defence): 30%

District 3 (General Electronics): 3%

District 4 (Fishing): 10%

District 5 (Power/Electricity): 4%

District 6 (Transportation): 4%

District 7 (Lumber): 5%

District 8 (Textiles): 3%

District 9 (Grain): 3%

District 10 (Livestock): 5%

District 11 (Agriculture): 5%

District 12 (Mining): 3%

I reckon in earlier games we'd see more of a lean towards Districts with either physical strength or proclivities towards weapons, namely Districts 2, 4, 7, 10 and 11, but once the Career Academies get set in place and Districts 1 and 2 become the powerful tributes they are in the original trilogy this would be the overall outcome.

It's funny how we never get book canon industries for Disticts 5, 6, and 9. It's especially interesting to me that the movies made 9's Grain, putting 11's Agriculture more into the fruits and vegetables area.

There are a few references to grain in the D11 Tributes, like Thresh and Chaff's names, their seedy bread, and the woven grass that makes Rue's token necklace and the tag on the Rue-mutt's collar. Was District 11 meant to be more grainy? What would 9 have been otherwise?

district 6 includes a very, very small portion of illinois (according to the fandom wiki) that might as well just be chicago, so i'm just gonna go ahead and hc that they have a decently sized latino + black population 🤩

i also hc that they have mainly german and indigenous influence culture-wise!!! if anyone wants to hear my d6 hcs (which i conjured up for my fic titled "o children" on wp), lmk <3

[kald-dal-write]

According to that new World of Hunger Games website D6 is only located in Ontario.....so Canadian Rep ftw I guess 😭

[startgame]

how i would dress each district for the opening ceremony in the hunger games: district 6 (transportation)

now hear me out...... i had a vision for these outfits to be inspired by cars (and no, i'm not talking about the disney animated film)

of all the forms of transportation that have existed throughout history, from horse back riding to space crafts, there's something classic about everyday vehicles. idk if these types of cars still exist in panem but if not then the NOSTALGIA OF IT ALLLL

my first vision was something like this ^ like pls tell me these rick owens gowns are not taxi cab/school bus coded, i'm serious

then i discovered the ferrari 2022-23 collections, and how can you tell me that these are not a colossal slay

like GIRLLLLL IT'S GIVING MOTORSPORT BY MIGOS FT. NICKI MINAJ & CARDI B

also i had to give this moschino collection a moment too bc these traffic inspired looks are so creative like can you imagine the tributes arriving in these????? i would gag babe, this is couture

[spiralling-thoughts]

Save me bobbin and Otto friendship save me

They would be the ultimate chaotic duo and would enable each other to cause chaos
