#rue Hungergames

Have a edit I made 🤭

@allisluv have this it's a new years present :)

[thgobsessed]

Katniss: “I keep my promises.”

Also Katniss being a walking contradiction:

“It’s your first year, prim, your not gonna get picked.”

“Don’t worry Rue, I’ll see you for supper okay?”

“Fine, Peeta, I won’t go to the feast.”

(And those are only some examples)

[ggsbooks123]

it’s the fact that i’ve read a ballad of songbirds and snakes but when i see the movie ik im gonna fall for coriolanus just like i did in the books and he’s gonna break my lil heart again 😭😭😭

[limelocked]

realising that some people might not have heard some die young by laleh because shes a swedish artist

i can not tell a bigger truth in my live than when i say that that song fucking reshaped my brain

[meltedfuckingmarshmallow]

i’ll think i’m finally normal about a piece of media and then i remember there was a character that was a little kid that was doomed from the start and i immediately start crying

[fandomshatepeopleofcolor]

I'm rereading the Hunger Games and I remember when Amandla Stenberg was cast as Rue in the movies and people were so mad bc Katniss said she reminded her of Prim so then she must be white(even tho Katniss and her family aren't white either or at least not fully white in the books), but it's literally in chapter 3 of the first book, page 45 in the copy I have to be exact. "She has dark brown skin and eyes, but other than that, she's very like Prim in size and demeanor." It's so early in the book that other than her skin color and eye color she's much like Prim.

so just as a reminder to those who haven't read the books Collins based Katniss and Gale on the Melungeon

and there's more here

there's more here https://www.reddit.com/r/Hungergames/comments/11fjz93/is_katniss_native_american_coded/?rdt=65476

so Katniss and Gale were supposed to be olive skinned with grey eyes and dark hair which is a far cry from what we got with JLaw.

In fact many people thought the correct casting for Katniss should have been Q'orianka Kilcher

I'm giving this background info because the tumblr search doesn't work and its over 10 years ago now. but yeah you're totally right nonny that Rue reminded Katniss of Prim in the books. And like that's why Katniss became so protective of Rue because she had this instinct to protect Rue who was also the same age as Prim.

Okay okay so i went to see the Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes yesterday (and i loved it) and after your post about the Nuff lookalike, I got to thinking about the games themselves

How do you think would the otwd gang respond in the event of being thrown into the hungergames? Like how would they act, would they group up, who would take care of others, who would eventually win (and maybe how would that affect their psyche and mental state afterwards oop)

This is just a very interesting question to me and id love to hear your thoughts about it!! For me this has always been a way to build certain parts of characters that aren't necessarily shown in stories, but are still important to know as the hungergames often drive people to either their lowest lows or their highest compassion

Anyways

Yeah this franchise is just smt that always me thinking LMAO

Omgg this is a difficult question! Prev gen is quick and easy: Gustav is obviously a district 4 boy and very clever but easily gets in over his head so he'd probably befriend a Career pack or somehow form an alliance with Cato. Unlike our fav Career of the same name, Cato is extremely district 12 coded (all lucy gray's songs!!!!) and very unfriendly and independent haha so despite his hunting skill I think he'd be underestimated and unwilling to join a pack. If he was in the same game as Gustav, he might join him but then (when he begins to suspect that he's next on Gustav's list) stab him in the back (or the eye). Cato is likely winning any game they throw him in, but in an actual hunger games au his rage against the Capitol would make him a risky victor. He wouldn't be cooperative afterwards and that could get him killed.

I don't wanna get into the Hiccup gang bc that's too difficult haha but my bets are on Astrid. As for the kids, it's hard to think about district splits bc it messes up their family dynamics so I won't try to sort that out.

Baldur and Rilla are textbook Careers, well trained with most weapons. Baldur in particular can win over a crowd and he's less honorable than Rilla so I think he'd get far and probably stab her in the back. He usually overestimates himself though, and that's one of his major flaws.

Nuffink is a loner, he wouldn't trust anybody in the games. He's mostly avoiding others and hiding, I can also see him luring others into striking range and he's pretty feral when forced to fight. I'm thinking of Thresh from Katniss's games. He gets a favorite weapon in itpn but not one that's usually in the Games afaik. I think a Career pack would have the best chance of taking him down.

Zephyr would have a Katniss-like technique, a mix of hiding/surviving in the wild with traps and occasionally ambushing others. I can see her and Bjorn teaming up regardless of if they know each other. I don't see Zephyr winning, though, even if Bjorn was trying to protect her. Like Peeta, he's charming the Capitol, winning lots of sponsors and working well with other tributes. It's been mentioned only once or twice, but Bjorn has well rounded talent with most weapons. Particularly spears. And he'd be an ideal victor, "a real hero" like his playlist says. Someone who can manage to win the Games in an honorable way despite the odds. The part of itpn I'm most excited for involves Bjorn being challenged and pushed to his limits in a way that's spiritually similar, I cannot wait to write his plot!

Eret's odds aren't great I fear. She's better trained in plants and climbing than fighting, similar to Rue or Foxface. She'd definitely try to sneak around poisoning people. She'd also be good at charming the Capitol in a real au scenario. But I don't see her winning either, somebody ruthless like Baldur or Tryggir would get her :(

Tryggir is a Career pack type who relies on others to back him up (like how Coral led the others), but I don't think he'd work well with Baldur or Rilla, so if he joins them he's going down early (or managing to take Baldur out). Either that or stays a loner until they take him out anyway.

If Sikka was in their Games (despite her age) she'd have a good chance too. Super sneaky and clever, super good tracker, good at fighting, very Katniss like in skill and temperament. She'd have a good chance at taking Bjorn down too.

So I think it's a coin toss between Bjorn and Sikka, with Sikka maybe having better odds. Probably not what you were expecting since they've barely been involved in the plot so far! But they will be :) They'd both be able to cope with life post games in a mostly normal way, I think, and they'd be good mentors. Both would understand that doing what it takes to survive isn't their fault, it's the system they live in. And I think they're both ideal recruits for a rebellion :) Characters like Baldur and Tryggir would be shameless victors, gloating and reveling in the attention. Nuffink would be a wreck as usual and I think Zephyr would be drowning in guilt. Eret and Rilla would be more like Sikka and Bjorn if they won, though I think Eret and Sikka would be very private and try to disappear from public eye.

I would ask the same about your ocs but I don't wanna put poor Siri through that 😭 the kids though mayhaps?

okay so scarian hungergames au.

I feel like its gonna be canon compliant to the actual hunger games in some things but not in others. like grian is katniss, scar is peeta, maybe big b can be gale (but I cant picture big b commiting such atrocities so maybe itd be martyn? but he and grian wouldnt have the romantic aspect.)

maybe grian and scar could even come from different districts or smth ooo. I feel like watchers would stand in for the capital instead. maybe ren could stand in as the district 13 leader.

okay so I think I'm just gonna wing it.

grian is a young man living in district 11 with his slightly younger brother jimmy and his [grian] twin, pearl (cuz I love skyblings). jimmy gets chosen for the games but grian stands in for him, yadda yadda, and scar is chosen as the other tribute. grian feels bad about this (not super bad, hes not TOO close with scar, but he still doesnt wanna see him die) because scar is kinda the district sweetheart. the town sweetheart who has also been fostering a bit of a crush on him for sometime. grians hunting partner, Joel, I've decided cuz. I think it fits (he and grian wont be romantic tho lol, but hes more jealous that his hunting partner (and fellow badboy) just VOLUNTEERED TO be put in the hunger games and is "using it to be smitten with scar".) is pretty upset!! like he and grian were much more efficient hunting TOGETHER. they fed BOTH their families and now joel has to do it himself. he swears that he'll take care of jimmy and pearl, though. pearl doesnt like this and kinda goes all depressive and lone wolf (shes more of katniss' mom, jimmy is more prim)

so they go through the games. I'm gonna say the stand in for rue will be. hrm. idk if there'll be a stand in actually. AAGGH IM CONFUSING MYSELF!! AND I NEED TO DO LAUNDRY!! rhhh... frustrated chirps I'll finish my infodump l8r bye bye kissies

kisses kisses.. so sorry i didnt answer this earlier im getting school done for tomorrow and got caught in the adhd loop. but this is so interestin and wonderful and i heart it sm. saving this

They didn't ask to be here.

For all intents and purposes, the hell they'd been put through within the past 72 hours alone should have reason enough to let them rest in peace. But their world is too wicked and twisted to let them just simply slip away...

They didn't ask to be here. But dammit if they were going to be - they were going to do it on their terms this time around.

- or -

All tributes from the 74th games have been revived by the Capitol to help fight in the war vs the rebels. However, led by Snow's grandaughter herself, they trade sides and play instrumental during the war in the victory versus the Captiol - A triumph they follow-up by returning to the shadows of the hidden victors village from which they were revived.

6 years later, as they silently continue to live the remainder of their days by keeping peace in the post-war Panem, a guilty Rue decides to bust their cover to the one and only Katniss after an accidental run-in sends her into a psychotic episode. Not only is Katniss shocked to see a very much alive young adult Rue at her doorstep, but to see just how much the now living tributes have seemed to change...and how much of Panem has not.

Katniss Everdeen, the Mockingjay ✨

Ive had absolutely no motivation I’m sorry :(

[vaaniu]

[fandomfiish]

So my friend asked me to make a top 5 saddest death at one of my fandom.

So here we are ... Also spoiler alert if you haven't watched them.

Hunger Games:

5. Mags Flanaga

- We knew she would die eventually yet we still believed in her. That is until the fog started to appear. And her sacrifice made me cry, thanks to the accompanionment of Finnick shouting "Mags!" Desperately while Katniss tried to snap him out of it.

4. Cinna

- An unexpected death tbh. He's the last person that Katniss saw and talked to before the 74th and 75th hunger games and he was the one Katniss trusted the most out of Effie and Haymitch from the start. Which made his death more unbearable to Katniss as she helplessly watch him die. And that hit me hard

3. Primrose Everdeen

- Hold up just number three? Well you probably know who already takes up the number two and one spot. But let's talk about Prim here.

She was the Sole reason Katniss go caught with everything that happened to her in the whole book and movies. To make sure that Prim was safe. And her death was such a shocker not only because she died, but how she died. It was so sudden. And the way Katniss was devastated not only because she just saw two people who have gotten close to her (Finnick and Boggs) die her sister, the girl who is giver her the strength to fight on just dies right in front of her.

2. Rue

- I was like crying for a solid thirty minutes after she died. Like Marvel I hate youuuu. Other than Peeta Rue was the only person Katniss trusted, she even treated her like how she treated Prim. In a way in my perspective that Rue would be how Primrose would be if she got voted, without the amazing tree climbing skills though. So it was like a sibling instinct on her to take care of her. Which mde her death a lot more devastating, seeing her shocked face after seeing the spear on her chest, and how she wanted Katniss to sing her a song while looking at the tree's was amazingly made to make you bawl your eyes off. Then the part where Katniss burried her on flowers was so emotional. We knew she would die eventually since only one soul survive but like with Mags we wanted her to survive.

1. Finnick Odair

And now we talk about the death nobody expected. Like I would rant for hours just for this death alone. Finnick was my Favorite character in the whole series, since even if he wasn't one of the main cast (to my surprise) he is one of the characters who got fleshed put backstory and character development, he even got married to the woman of her dreams.

AND THEN THE MUTANT MUTTS HAPPENED. At the start it seemed like he will survive since he got there first. But when he threw his trident to save Katniss from the mutts, you know I was already praying for him to survive. And then he started to climb the ladder and I was happy but then A mutt grabed him and brought him back down, and I was already bawling. Him shouting Katniss Name out of desperation and Katniss looking devastated seeing the person who she knew the one who related to her the most gets killed. And lo and behold a whole day of a mess of my crying whenever I see a fish or sugar.

It was so unexpected, and thats why it became number one. Now if you ask me, I wonder why neither Gale nor Katniss shot the mutt what pounced on Finnick as he climbed the Stairs but maybe that was my salt.

So yeah thanks for readin this mess of a blog.
