#lamina headcanons

[ballad-of-birdy-lamb]

Can you do Treech and Lamina (Se prate, in case you were wondering) with a VERY friendly S/O, like they wanna make friends with all the other tributes, coral, mizzen, and all, and are generally a very bright, bubbly person who likes to comfort people??

Thank you!! Have a good day!

Very excited to write for both since I haven't officially!!

Treech x friendly! Gender neutral! Reader x Lamina (separate romantic headcanons)

Summary: Reader is a very kind and outgoing person, entire headcanons for both Treech and Lamina (separate and romantic).

__

Lamina:

She's a very quiet and sad tribute, so to go into the Hunger Games with her lover is so much worse for her. She would have sobbed about you not being reaped and how she would have tried harder getting home if you weren't reaped with her.

But Lamina can't control what name is pulled and at some point, accepts that.

Your sweet spirits do help her a lot but doesn't stop her from crying consistently. But it's better than constantly.

Once you both got to the monkey house, she would sit near one of the rocks, keeping to herself and keeping herself alive.

Lamina rarely left the small area she kept at, but she left it to pull you away from making friends with the other tributes. It was more so the idea you were bothering them, and she didn't want you creating enemies on accident.

She would say something about not bothering them and "think of the situation we are in". Lamina's anxiety about the entire situation you were both in caused her to ignore the fact the other tributes did enjoy your presence. Many being fond of your kindness, especially people like Lucy Gray, who was just as high spirited as you.

It happened several times more, her pulling you from making a scene out of habit, trying to befriend others just for the sake of it. At some point, she stopped trying and accepted the fact that you were becoming friends with several tributes and gaining attention in the Capital for such friendliness.

__

Treech:

Treech had a similar reaction to Lamina, feeling terrible that you were reaped with him. He didn't have as much of a visceral reaction, like sobbing his eyes out but he's still sad about it.

He would keep you as close as possible, trying to make sure you don't run off with other tributes because you wish to be allies.

But he doesn't mind when you become friends with the District Eight tributes while on the train. He thought it was sweet how nice you were with Wovey.

He knew for a long while that you were very friendly and outgoing since he had dated you long before the reaping. So, it isn't a surprise that you try talking to the other tributes.

Treech would only be around you when you have free time, find food, and during the night. The other times are when he's trying to find plants to eat within the enclosure or when he tries juggling small stones for food.

As time goes on, to entertain yourself outside of finding plants, you'd go around talking to Capital citizens and other tributes. Treech wouldn't be as willing to pull you away since he knew you wouldn't get hurt from both groups.

At the end of the day, you accidentally brought attention to yourself, but it ended in being fed. So, Treech didn't mind it too much.

__ Not extremely romantic, so sorry!

My tbosas masterlist

[segaynus]

Headcanon that Lamina overheard the Sejanus/Coriolanus conversation in the area, especially the "I wanna die in protest" and "if I believe in what I say I need to end take responsibility and end this atrocity" parts and as soon as she knew it was over for her, in the split second between being stabbed and dying in a fall, she was comorted by what he had said. She knew there was at least one person in the capitol that viewed her as a human and would fight so that more kids wouldn't share her fate.

"Please don't forget me. Please end the ga-"

[spiralling-thoughts]

Some treech thoughts

(because I have been thinking about him for two days at this point and it seems like I have fallen in the rabbit hole you can thank @moreespressoformydepresso for that what have you done to me?)( some of these are inspired by her ideas)

So hiroki mentioned in his interview that treech is a middle child in a matriarchal household and he worked at the lumber industry since he was young so I decided to expand on this

- the matriarch of the family is his aunt Agatha who raised his father and is the one giving orders in the family, she and treech have a distant relationship as she tends to compare him to his older siblings axel and ashie and have too high expectations towards her niece's and nephews she also doesn't approve of his stealing and try to get him to stop though that one is more out of concern of the consequences that would happen to him if he was caught

- he has two little sisters named willow and blossom who he's very close to and very protective towards , the three of them perform on the streets of the wealther section of District 7 to earn a little bit more money, treech perform tricks, willow dances and blossom sing

- he's kinda destined towards axel due to axel being the type of brother that constantly criticises his siblings despite that he doesn't let anyone get away with insulting his brother and he stayed by his side when axel was once whipped and axel returned the gesture when treech got whipped

- like playing on the harmonica and using the wood and trees as his personal drums to make the lumber yard a bit more cheery

- have friends who help him steal and hide food from the peacekeepers

- is very protective of blossom as she's the youngest and also she received a lot of bullying and cruelty due to her " strange behaviour" he also gives her parts of his food and collects berries especially for her

His father can't work full time because he lost his arm during the bombing of district 7 so he either sells treechs and ashie wood crafts or he tends to the home

His mother is in fact from district 4 and moved to district 7 back when travelling between districts was allowed , she fishes for a small fish shop

- because of this treech is actually a very good swimmer and is good at fishing he sometimes makes nets with his ma

- love to tell stories and sing lullabies for willow and blossom

- to say that he was seeing red when blossom once came home bruised and beaten due to the peacekeepers would be an understatement to take revenge on them he and his friends stole a huge chunk of their supplies and missed up things in their base

- he and lamina have been friends since they were little and he often shared his stolen loot with her but when lamina was adopted by a more well off family and moved to the oaks ( the wealthy section of District 7) he started to feel insecure that she wouldn't want to hang out with him anymore or that she might feel ashamed to be seen with him especially when she started befriending people from the oaks even though he knows lamina wouldn't do that he still can't help but feel insecure about that he didn't tell anyone but blossom about this

( since hiroki is Japanese and there is a headcanon for district 4 having Asian influence I decided to add those)

- his mother makes them rice balls when they are able to afford rice (or when he steals it)

- his family also eats using chopsticks

[tumblingghosts]

hello you’re the only person i know on here who likes harry potter so i’m sending you my headcanons for the mentors in their hogwarts houses

persephone- hufflepuff, i think she’s very loyal, kind, & patient

festus- gryffindor, he’s a lil impulsive but brave (sort of projected a james potter type personality accidentally)

livia- slytherin, i see her as ambitious and resourceful or ravenclaw, bc i also think she’s witty and creative

vipsania- slytherin, very ambitious and cunning

felix- ravenclaw, idk he’s just giving those vibes

hp x tbosas?? :D

(more under the cut)

i fully agree with the ones you mentioned-

persephone price - hufflepuff

what you said! i think she likely sticks close to her house for her earlier years but opens up to other houses once festus became her friend (after some group project that pairs them together)

festus creed - gryffindor

honestly didn’t even have to think about this one. festus just feels like gryffindor. 

livia cardew - slytherin

she has ambition, connections, self-preservation, pretty motivated by competition and doing better than people she doesn’t like and cunning when she wants to be

vipsania sickle - slytherin

she’s really competitive and driven. also i can’t explain it, but she kinda has quidditch keeper vibes.

felix ravinstill - ravenclaw

he tried for slytherin- he really did! (that’s a lie, he didn’t try that hard.) i’d say it was a bit of a toss-up between the two, and felix was fairly ambivalent since both were respectable enough- and that sealed it for ravenclaw.

more mentors!

coriolanus snow - slytherin

ambition. ambition for ages. the sorting hat didn’t even have to think about it.

clemensia dovecote - slytherin

ambition as well, but to a much less harmful degree than coriolanus. ravenclaw was probably floated as a potential house, but not long enough to cause a hat stall. unrelated to the sorting, but if we’re going with hp events as well, was likely the one to figure out the basilisk then got petrified before she could tell anyone.

sejanus plinth - gryffindor

he’s a hufflepuff in my heart, but he’d most likely be sorted into gryffindor. 

urban canville - hufflepuff

i would have said ravenclaw, except urban kinda gives zacharias smith (re: would urban push first years out of the way to escape the battle of hogwarts? probably.) so… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

arachne crane - slytherin

she was nearly a hat stall because the hat tried putting her in gryffindor. she adamantly refused until the hat gave in. it sorts, but students do get choice.

io jasper - ravenclaw

incredibly smart, but she’s most skilled at science-related classes. everyday, she thanks the founders that urban wasn’t placed in the same house as her. it’s bad enough that hufflepuffs and ravenclaws often have classes together.

lysistrata vickers - gryffindor

i could see an argument for hufflepuff, but she feels outspoken enough to tip the scales into gryffindor when considering the two.

i have no explanations for the rest, these are just vibes-

pliny harrington - slytherin

juno phipps - ravenclaw

hilarius heavensbee - slytherin

gaius breen - slytherin

androcles anderson - hufflepuff

domitia whimsiwick - slytherin

dennis fling - hufflepuff

palmyra monty - ravenclaw

iphigenia moss - hufflepuff

apollo ring - gryffindor

diana ring - ravenclaw

florus friend - ravenclaw

bonus! here’s where i think some of the tributes would go-

lucy gray - slytherin

jessup - hufflepuff

marcus - gryffindor

reaper - hufflepuff

treech - slytherin

lamina - hufflepuff

(the slytherin/hufflepuff vibes for treemina go hard- lamina swears that treech should have been a hufflepuff, but treech swears that lamina should have been slytherin. in a way, they’re both right.)

also, where would you sort the d4 tributes/victors (mizzen, coral, finnick, mags, annie, etc.)?

thanks for the ask!

[hellpeppre]

some tbosas modern au headcanons, mostly just the pack tbh, some of them are ooc but uh… shush

gonna be real with u, some of the headcanons r like partially stolen from other ppls fanfics or posts that ive read so if u see something on this list that u came up with plz dont be angry or anything i just stole it cuz it was cool💔

family headcanons🎉

——————————

coral and mizzen r half siblings with the same dad, mizzen lives with coral, her mom, and their dad bc his mom is dead 🎀 mizzen has a cat that he’s keeping secret from their parents, gee sure this wont turn out to be a big disaster in one of the fics im writing

dill and reaper r cousins, they live in the same house bc reapers mother wouldn’t let him come back to live with her after he got out of juvie or something i haven’t put too much thought into this, other than them the people in the household r their grandparents, dills parents, and dills older siblings, as well as two dogs

treech lives with his parents, grandmother, and his siblings, hes the middle child tragically. dont have a whole lot of thought put into this one ngl, i dont think about treech very much

lamina lives next door to treech, she lives with her dad, and like three cats, her mom died when she was younger and her relationship with her dad is pretty strained since

tanner and brandy r twins, brandy’s older, they have two younger sisters, their parents should definitely be divorced but they won’t fsr. on their farm they have a few chickens, a herd of cows, and two horses

lucy gray obvs lives with the covey, her parents r still dead tho I’m not sure quite what killed them in this universe but its not that important. idk if they have confirmed ages but i made barb azure the oldest. barb azures gf is over to their home so frequently that she doesn’t even bother knocking b4 coming in

teslee lives with her mother, and two older siblings, she took over the garage for her projects, one time her sibling tried to park their car in the garage and she screamed at them for thirty minutes bc they knocked over one of her drones 🎀

circ is teslees cousin, he lives with his parents and siblings, two older, one younger, also haven’t put a whole lot of thought into him and teslee bc i only recently realized how silly they were 💔

bobbin and wovey r cousins, wovey and her older brother moved in with bobbin and his parents after their parents died. bobbin takes his job of protecting his little cousin at school very seriously, they’re very close

alrighttt i haven’t thought about any of the other tributes enough so we’re gonna move on to regular various headcanons 🫶

————————————

coral needs glasses to read bc shes farsighted (whattt me? projecting? nooo never)

lamina always wanted a little sibling but never got one so she borrows corals 🫶 mizzen doesn’t mind being assigned a second older sister except for when lamina tries to get him to let her do his makeup (a well placed bribe of candy can convince him to let her on occasion, treech saved a picture for blackmail 🎀)

the pack as a friend group includes lamina and brandy, lamina and coral get along pretty well in this universe

if mizzen decides you have wronged him he will never forget about it, he still brings up the time treech accidentally hit him in the face with a door like four years later

teslee, dill, and circ have been friends since elementary school, they haven’t been in any classes together since sixth grade tho bc teslee and circ r both in advanced classes and dill is in remedial english bc of her undiagnosed dyslexia

mizzen is a weird kid, he’s been bullied pretty much since he started going to school, this leads him to get in a fights, which is why he was expelled from his first middle school 🎀

dill and mizzen have remedial english together bc both of them r dyslexic

sejanus’s ma teaches english and remedial english at their school

coral is the captain of her schools swim team

reaper and coral aren’t exactly friends but if they run into each other they’ll chat

mizzen and dill both thought the other hated them when they first met

cc takes orchestra a bit too seriously, if he hears u refer to a viola as a violin or something he may jump u

bobbin is in robotics with circ which is how they met, bobbin was once asked to sit out of a robotics competition bc he was too competitive and started swearing at the other team when they accidentally broke off a piece of his teams robot

teslee is in advanced english with cc, cc loves creative writing and teslee likes analyzing books. teslee and cc are friends but that all goes out the window when it comes to their grade in this class, teslee gets very upset when he gets a better grade than her on an assignment and cc has that little brother tendency to tease her when this happens. they aren’t allowed to sit beside each other anymore

mizzen and teslee have beef but they have to tolerate each other bc they’re both close friends with dill

coral has mommy issues bc her mom’s lowkey a narcissist and refuses to get therapy for the generational trauma shes passing on to coral and mizzen 🎀

brandy is the fastest to crash out when someones bothering her, if she doesn’t like you she will make sure yk and she will start throwing hands with no warning

teslee secured an internship with beetee for during her freshman year next year and she won’t stop talking about it

mizzen doesn’t believe in sunscreen

reaper loves painting flowers, he keeps his watercolor palette on his person at all times

the pack all borrow each others clothes

coral had a huge crush on persephone at one point but she never said anything and their friendship started to fade

mizzen does NOT know how to care for himself, his skin is sun damaged, his lips are perpetually cracked, his hair is outrageously dry from how much time he spends in salt water

coral is a barista

dill and reapers family are the caretakers for a graveyard, they live in a house in the graveyard and reaper helps to dig the graves, dill’s embarrassed of living in a grave yard and has never invited anyone to her house b4

wovey likes making friendship bracelets, all of her friends have at least four bracelets by this point

bobbin likes sewing, he makes outfits for mizzens cat sometimes

mizzen has braces

i have more but i can’t remember them so i may reblog this with more later, hope u enjoyed :3

[clockwise-works]

Miphlink Week 2024: Gala

Also extra thoughts and Miphlink Kid close up below cut

So I already had done a drawing of them dancing earlier this year, I decided to spice it up by instead of drawing a slow dance between the two of them, I would have them dancing much more joyfully as a family.

Low and beyond, kid! I have yet to actually post (or create) a sheet for the kid, but for a name I'm thinking Lamina. The name could change though, I'm still deciding.

For some design details, since this would be a Zora/Hylian child, I tried to pull some elements from Link as well. I went with the obvious blue eyes, longer legs, and elements of yellow as a homage to his blond hair, as well as including a third ear fin on her left side. As she ages the fin should look more like a loose hair bang, similar to the one on Link's forehead.

I then thought to include his original earrings and hairband, thinking that once Link upgraded to royal jewelry, he passed his original jewelry down to any children he has. So Lamina has her ear fin pierced, and the hairband design was reincorporated into a band fit to hold up her Zora crest, kinda like a hair pin.

As for Mipha, I gave her Mipha's beta design dress, as well as a tiara that's identical to Mipha's before upgrading to a full crown. Lamina also inherited the dots on her knees from her, only difference being the more diamond shape. The belt is also a combination of Link and Mipha's, having Link's diamond shaped buckle with Mipha's side crest and hanging diamond bits.

As for Mipha herself, she's got the crown! I figure she's already been crowned as Queen, leading to her new outfit. Similar to Sidon in TotK, she's got the same crown and chest guard thing, but instead of his whistle thingy, she's got the same necklace piece as Link's zora armor. I once saw a headcanon from someone who said that was their family crest, the diamond coming from Link and the crescent parts coming from Mipha, and I loved that, so I tried to incorporate diamonds into their designs. I just wish I could find that post again.

Uhhh thanks for reading.

Treech x reader headcanons

After treech wins the games

- When treech comes home from winning, the first thing he does is shuts himself home.

- He doesn’t leave, he doesn’t talk he doesn’t eat. He just sits there.

- and his family is STRESSING.

- The one time he did speak was when you finally went to see him.

- you go to his room and he’s sat there cradling his hat and looking lost

- “they broke it, my hat.. it’s ruined”

- and he bursts into tears

- it seems an odd reason to cry but the hat was part of him, he’s crying for the loss of part of him.

- you wrap your arms around him offering some type of comfort to him as he sobs.

- once he manages to stop crying he tells you everything as he just stays in your arms

- he tells you about the zoo, the people, laminas death, his mentor and her treatment of him

- he tells you about the axe he wielded and how he felt sick at thee site of his and his fathers sat by the door.

- and worst of all he tells you about the gruesome death of those to the snakes and lucy grays attempt to kill him with one.

- All you can do is hold him like the good partner you are.

- He begs you to stay, to not go anywhere.

- and you won’t. You can’t.

- you press a kiss to his head and stay, you stay the night and you stay till he’s ready to leave his room and go to face district 7 as a winner.

Hunger Games Relationship Dynamics Headcanons

SPOILERS FOR ALL HUNGER GAMES CONTENT, FROM THE OG TRIOLOGY TO TBOSAS

Yes, these are my personal headcanons of specific characters and the dynamic/relationship between them.

-Post Mockingjay, Peeta and Katniss developed a parallel play type of routine to help them feel stabilized on bad days (being around one another and doing ones own thing without necessarily taking)

-Peeta enjoys watching the leaves change color, Katniss likes watching the rain fall

-In my head, Clove and Cato have a rivals to friends/maybe lovers dynamic between them. Both felt like they had to one up the other, and almost all of their interactions ended with them in a physical fight.

-After one particular argument, Cato revealed a dark secret of his to Clove in an attempt to get her to leave. It worked, however, Clove began keeping an eye on Cato to make sure he was okay, developing a sense of care and worry for him. Cato noticed the change and didn't acknowledge it to her, but he nonetheless appreciated it. -Lamina and Treech are friends of friends. They got acquainted when their friends began dating, causing an acquaintanceship to form between them. -Lamina viewed Treech and herself as friends, while Treech saw her as someone nice he knew for a while. It was only when they were reaped together that he began questioning that thought. -The reason District 11's has a tight familial bond with one another comes from the over policing by Peacekeepers. Because of the tight rules and unfair treatment from Peacekeepers, people in District 11 are very protective of each other, not trusting anyone outside of 11.

[tannertbosas]

rant to elaborate on my previous post …

so my point was, that tanner received the fandom treatment that reaper & jessup deserved, but this is just simplified.

reaper and jessup themselves are pretty popular and relevant characters in tbosas fandom, but most of the time when I see stuff about them, it’s very surface level.

meanwhile for tanner, which is way less relevant in the story of tbosas, probably out of every main tribute, i’ve seen people provide way more over-analysis of his character and behaviour (i am 100% included) that I feel like are a bit unnecessary and is, at the end, overlapping reaper and jessup’s character traits. one part of the fandom refuses to look past his dancing over lamina’s dead body in the book storyline, and the other part is trying *too* hard to make him seem entirely innocent. but that’s just common fandom behaviour, i’ve seen multiple other characters receiving the same treatment.

but tanner is depicted negatively in the book and in the movie, showed to be lacking of empathy and eager about killing (ranting about slaughterhouse methods in his interview) while reaper and jessup are characters that are depicted positively, and are both separately very interesting characters. reaper also tried to attack people, and in the book, apologised to the other tributes for having to kill them in the arena, but then promised that their death wouldn’t be meaningless, and he then performed a rebellious act in the arena by tearing down the capitol’s flag and forming a morgue with the deceased tribute’s bodies, which is the most important act of the 10th hunger games , but people seem to look past that. i have personally barely seen anyone try and give it an over-analysis like they would do to their favs!

jessup on the other hand was shown to be protective of lucy gray since the beginning, and jumped over lysistrata to protect her from the arena’s bombing. and he also had one of the most interesting character plots, having rabies, that he passed to reaper in the zoo, at least in the books. his death was also very interesting, on how it affected lysistrata, and her words about him.

as for fandom treatment, i’m mostly talking about pure “fandom” stuff. I can’t blame people for not having them as favourite characters, but it feels very exclusive to barely ever see reaper or jessup included in fanworks, such as fanfiction, which is very popular in the TBOSAS fandom. to continue about fanfiction, i’ve also been noticing a lack of pairing containing the two characters (separately), while both being very interesting and good natured characters, or if they are in a pairing, it is very overlooked. meanwhile people have no problem shipping tanner with, i could say, anyone, while being almost… antisocial.

this just doesn’t make lots of sense to me, how quick people will say oh tanner is actually very caring, oh he was kind, his dance over someone’s literal dead body had a deeper meaning, could be rebellious, etc… im all for headcanons, do what you want, but those headcanons that most apply to tanner, are actually closer to reaper and jessup’s characters.

this is NOT to force anyone to do anything. this is just my personal observation in this fandom. maybe it’s just since i talk a lot about tanner, most stuff I see is around him. i just find the lack of consideration for such good written and interesting characters such as reaper & jessup a big waste, especially if you’re gonna applicate it to a very less relevant character.

[benjinotes]

𝐓𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫'𝐬 𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 (𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐦 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐧) :x

• In my opinion, District 10 has adopted some Latin traditions, and I imagine Tanner was there, helping and guiding Lamina’s soul in this ritual. On Dia de los Muertos, people dance to celebrate their passage into the spirit world, honoring their journey after life in the world of the living. So his dance can be seen as a connection amid the transition beyond the world of the living.

• This situation can be seen as a defiant act against the Capitol, a far-right government in the Hunger Games, due to the nature of the traditions adopted and celebrated. Dia de los Muertos, deeply rooted in Mexican and Latin American culture, often incorporates elements that challenge conservative and authoritarian norms. In political contexts where the Capitol seeks to impose a dominant culture or suppress diverse cultural expressions, the celebration of Dia de los Muertos can be seen as an act of resistance and cultural affirmation. Where I live, dances and associated rituals not only strengthen community and cultural bonds but also assert cultural identity and autonomy against pressures to impose cultural homogeneity.

• The fact that Tanner helps and guides Lamina’s soul during this ritual can be seen as a symbolic challenge to policies or ideologies that devalue or attempt to erase unique cultural traditions. So, in this imagined context, celebrating Dia de los Muertos in District 10 could be seen as a resistance to cultural suppression and an affirmation of diversity against the conservative agendas of the Capitol.

• So, I believe he wasn’t celebrating Lamina’s death, but rather welcoming her soul. :)
