TBOSAS fix-it AU where the games are postponed because of the arena being demolished since the rebels planted a few more bombs, and Highbottom decides to try and play the wildcard in his attempt to stop the games. He feels very guilty for coming up with them in the first place, and I’m convinced he came up with the mentor program in an attempt to stop the games, so now that he sees his limited progress he decides to try and show the entire capitol the tributes are just kids.

This wild card is having the kids do a non-lethal version of the games where they just need to knock each other out, with the prize being a whole bunch of different foods and drinks. It’ll take place throughout a part of the city around the academy, with peacekeepers making sure the kids don’t try anything stupid. This is a massive risk, but Casca calculated correctly because the kids do exactly what people didn’t expect from “wild animals”. They laugh and they joke, they help each other in ways that are impossible to write off now that people are seeing it in real life, and they stop everything they’re doing as soon as they think they may have actually hurt someone else on accident. At one point Tanner almost throws Treech to the ground in a way that could have snapped his neck, and catches him at the last second with a horrified look on his face while he apologizes profusely. Treech just slaps him on the back and laughs it off, assuring him it’s fine, and they hug it out before mutually deciding to walk away from this encounter without fighting.

The last two are probably Reaper and Treech, since I’m sticking more closely to their book versions and there ain’t no way Lucy Gray would have beaten Treech in a straight fight without cheating. They actually have a good time sparring, until eventually Reaper knocks Treech out. When Treech wakes up again he complains about Reaper hitting too hard, asking him if that was really necessary, but in a joking kind of way because he clearly isn’t all that mad about it. Reaper gets his prize, and while being filmed for everyone in the capitol to see he shares with all the other tributes, and they fairly distribute everything in a way so everyone will get as much of their favorite foods and drinks as possible while remaining fair.

After this, people start interacting with the tributes at the zoo as actual people, rather than circus animals. Once the actual games come around, there’s so much protest they get cancelled. Initially just for that year, but it ends up being forever given public opinion.

Bonus: during the fake games, the girls have a tea party. At some point, Lucy Gray and Treech perform some songs together for fun and they have the time of their life on stage while Teslee and Circ go ham on all the electronics for special effects.

everyone's favourite Fortnite Cowboy. Has really grown on me over time ngl

Also he has definitely my favourite costume in the movie

[tumblingghosts]

i love that both brandy and tanner see the other twin as someone they have to protect and more "useful" - them thinking of each other so highly while also being the balance that the other needs is so <333

thank you for such an insightful response!!

re: ask game

⭐️ for with the benefit of hindsight :D

Thanks so much for the ask! I'm sorry this took so long, but it's here now and I hope it interests you.

So I'm going to give you the director's cut about Brandy and Tanner's relationship together during With The Benefit Of Hindsight and how I see it.

Now I've always loved it in fics when two characters who share an intense and deep bond, whether it's familial, romantic, or platonic in nature, even more so when their personality traits and the like compliment one another and they act as each other's other half, or the other side of the coin to them. And when I decided to make Brandy and Tanner twins here, that is the direction that I took their characterisation and relationship.

Brandy and Tanner's personalities are more or less, the opposite sides of the same coin. Brandy is the hot-headed twin, the aggressor in fights and the tougher one, she has a short temper and she's not known for her self-control (more so the lack of it). Tanner, in comparison, is the calmer twin, the more trusting and emotional one, and while he might get into fights, he rarely wins them unless Brandy was nearby to act as back-up when things go south.

Both Tanner and Brandy see one another as the one that they have to protect and look out for. For Brandy, it's because she's the elder twin, the stronger one, both physically and emotionally, therefore, she feels the need to protect Tanner, to look out for him and have his back in fights, or to go after those who have beat him up and to comfort him in her own way afterwards.

Tanner feels that he has to protect and look out for Brandy because of her brash nature. Brandy will almost always act first and think later, often resulting in some pretty severe consequences for her, so Tanner often acts as her self- and impulse control, holding her back from her worst impulses or when that fails, sometimes taking on punishments for her actions to try and protect her from people's rising tempers against her.

Tanner and Brandy both see the other as the more useful twin, the stronger and better one in a sense because of the characteristics that the other has, that they themselves lack. Throughout the fic, they both think that if only one of them could go home then better it was the other one due to their personalities' (for Brandy, she feels Tanner deserves it as he wouldn't be the one who would go around causing trouble for their family back home. For Tanner, he feels that it would be better that Brandy went home as due to her emotional resilience, makes her more useful to their family and that someone else can take over as her self-control agent in his place).

Now, ironically, in canon, Brandy and Tanner's respective character flaws and therefore what the other twin serves as, is what causes their deaths in the book/film.

Because, if Tanner had been at the bars with Brandy in canon when she had been taunted by Arachne, he would have acted as her self control and would have stopped Brandy from killing her. And if Brandy had lived long enough to enter the Arena, then she would have been against the alliance with Coral and Mizzen entirely, or if the alliance had still formed, District 4 wouldn't have been able to kill Tanner with Brandy watching his back as she definitely wouldn't have been giving them any trust.

elaboration on previous post

[tumblingghosts]

yes yes yes to all of this!! :D !!

mizzen: >:3 everyone: aww 🥺🥺

and maybe it leads to a fix it bc they refuse to kill each other in the arena when the games begin

re: our favorite gremlin

thinking about mizzen befriending the other tributes but like,,

accidentally

he’s the opposite of friendly, but he’s very good at endearing himself to the others when he recognizes that they might actually be upset (aka weaponizing puppy eyes)

mizzen probably fights tanner for that hay bale (before marcus tosses them both aside to claim it for himself), then it’s a bitter alliance between the two of them & whoops they’re friends

bobbin and mizzen friendship but mizzen hates him at the start bc “wdym there’s another boy my age here” and 13-year-olds will start beef over literally anything. they probably bond over a cool stick or something.

cue five people later and coral is telling mizzen that he can’t keep “trying to make friends” and mizzen just blinks and her blankly because “those aren’t friends, those are mortal enemies” (that’s a lie, he’s made so many new besties)

oh my gosh i’m obsessed with this because it’s so accurate and i love it 🥺

mizzen accidentally befriends panlo when he was actually trying to insult panlo by making fun of his accent. but panlo thought he was adorable and starting trying to mimic mizzen’s accent like it was a game.

mizzen starts beef with lamina because she asked what was on his pants. he was offended because how could you not know what starfish are. then he explained every fact about starfish that he knew and lamina just loved the way he lit up when he spoke about them.

jsjjsjsjs it’s all just so sweet. mizzen somehow gets adopted by every single other tribute.

[ballad-of-birdy-lamb]

I keep seeing that white twink only. I’m tweaking the fuck out. Write for the other characters for the love of GOD

[tannertbosas]

TANNER!!! LOOK BEHIND YOU!!!

[moreespressoformydepresso]

Lamina, running away from Tanner: GET YO FUCKIN DOG BITCH

Treech: it don’t bite

Lamina: YES IT DO!!

Sketches of some of the movie version of the 10th Hunger Games tributes, because Trish Summerville ate with the costumes she gave them in the movie.

[foolsocracy]

don't look back

[mintaikk]

Moments in the Hunger Games that Dr. Gaul would hate

Dr. Gaul says that humans are naturally violent, and to prove her wrong, here are moments in the Hunger Games that show that they aren't.

-Lucy Gray comforting Jessup when he wasn't feeling well

-Lucy Gray crying and mourning when Dill died (Wovey in the book)

-Lucy Gray making sure Jessup ate despite her having the advantage if he didn't eat

-The first thing Lucy Gray doing in the arena was look for Jessup and run away with him so they could both have a chance at surviving, despite all the murder and chaos happening around them

-Lucy Gray comforting Jessup as he was dying

-Lucy Gray in general

-Jessup protecting Lucy Gray from the bats (rabid raccoons in the book)

-Reaper giving Lamina cloth and Lamina giving him food. Then Coral, Mizzen, and Tanner came and she warned him (in the book)

-Reaper collecting the bodies of the fallen tributes and covering them with the flag to give them proper respects

-Reaper warning Wovey when she was walking to the snakes

-Lamina killing Marcus. Ik it was still murder, but it was a mercy kill. She even comforted him before and stared at his body and curled up into the fetal position after

-Lamima has a lot of empathy in general and I love her so much and she's litterally just walking proof of Dr. Gaul's theory being wrong. Her name is litterally animal spelled backwards, which is what Dr. Gaul belived the tributes were. Violent animals

-Bobbin letting Wovey sleep on his shoulder

-In the walk to the cart, Bobbin was holding Wovey's hand

-Lucy Gray letting Wovey hold her hand before the games

-Treech protecting Lamina when Brandy was killed from the bullet

-Reaper going out of his way to protect Dill. I could make an entire post on this alone. But like, in every scene with them together, he's always looking out for Dill. Even when he jumped at his Mentor, he was looking at Dill before to see how she was doing. Dill's death is what made him want to honor the other tributes deaths. I can only imagine how that made their friends and families feel at home, to see the person they loved getting the respect they could in such violent games

-During the bombing, Marcus ran back to go get Lucy Gray despite thst fact that his chances of dying there were very high

-Ik he wasn't part of the games, but Sejanus going to spread bread around Marcus's dead body (I love Sejanus sm and I better not see y'all thirst over Snow anymore)

-In the book, there was no bloodbath scene. Most tributes ran straight for the tunnels, while Coral, Tanner, and Reaper went to get weapons, but even Coral, who was known for being violent, ran. Only Reaper stayed

-Reaper apologizing for having to kill the tributes the night before, and promising to honor them

-In the book, Teslee was running from the snakes and Lucy Gray came out of the tunnels singing so the snakes would be distracted so Teslee would have time to escape

-Screaming and crying and throwing up because Reaper killed Teslee but brought her body over to the other bodies because it's really all he could give her

-In the book, Lucy Gray and Reaper were the last ones left, and they procrastinated on killing each other. Lucy Gray killed him by getting him to drink poisoned water, not by any violence. She even closed his eyes when she realized he had died.

This was just the 10th Hunger Games. Damn. Imma go on to the other ones now

-Instead of of breaking their alliance by killing each other, Maysilee just left Haymitch saying that she didn't want it to come down to the two of them

-Haymitch staying with Maysilee as she died

-When Annie's district partner died, she gained serious PTSD, which should be proof enough that naturally, HUMANS DONT LIKE VIOLENCE

-Katniss volunteering to protect Prim

-Thresh smiling at Rue when she managed to steal the knife from Cato (this is so sweet to me, I love the District 11 kids sm)

-Foxface not killing anyone (that Katniss knows of) and running away, proving thst people are just trying to survive and not be violent

-Foxface and Katniss bumping into each other but then running away. Especially Katniss, because she definitely had the advantage

-Peeta joining the careers to protect Katniss

-Peeta telling Katniss to run when the careers were hunting her

-This wasn't shown to the audience, but Katniss said that if her and Rue were the last 2 left, she'd let Rue win

-Katniss letting Rue cuddle under the sleeping bag so that she could stay warm

-Katniss mourning the death of Rue by leaving flowers over her body and then giving respects to District 11. She even cried and threw her spear when Rue died

-Clove and Cato's entire friendship (also, Clove smiling at Cato while they were on the plane)

-Thresh killing Clove purely because of what he thought she did to Rue, implying that he wanted to protect Rue. (I like to believe that he didn't make an alliance with Rue the dame reason Katniss didn't make an alliance with Peeta in the beginning; he didn't want it to come down to the two of them). Despite that, he was still heartbroken when she died

-Thresh sparing Katniss's life because she was friends with and protected Rue

-Clove calling for Cato when Thresh was threatening her, and Cato coming to help (in the book)

-Cato crying and begging Clove to get up when she was dying

-Katniss mercy killing Cato despite everything (in the movie)

-Katniss and Peeta not wanting to kill each other and deciding to eat the berries together instead

75th Hunger Games

Yes, ik the rebellion. But I'm still counting it.

-Peeta volunteering to avoid having Haymitch go to the games

-Mags volunteering for Annie

-The female morphling (who I headcanoned as her name being Chassis) sacrificing herself to save Peeta

-Peeta staying to comfort Chassis and talking about how pretty the sky was

-Chassis and Autus (male morphling) teaching Katniss how to camouflage, despite her not knowing about the rebellion, and for all they know, she could try and kill them. But they still wanted to save everyone, so they kept Katniss alive

-MAGS. Mags is the best

-Finnick staying with and protecting Mags despite her chances of surviving being very low

-Katniss keeping Finnick alive, despite not knowing about the rebellion

-Peeta staying to comfort Katniss and Finnick during the jabberjay attacks

[sejanusfan]

alliances & tearful goodbyes.
