Ez’s Hunger Games aesthetics, part 10: (Some of) The Victors of the 50s

Haymitch Abernathy of District 12, Victor of the 50th Games and the 2nd Quarter Quell

Halia Kane of District 4, Victor of the 55th Games

Cecelia Balan of District 8, Victor of the 57th Games

Blight Hackman of District 7, Victor of the 58th Games

reading about the district 8 female victor that was reaped again for the quarter quell and that had to detach herself from her three kids bc they didn’t want her to go made me so sad. i really hate how at the end of the day the victors that got picked had been living their lives believing and hoping on the false promise that they wouldn’t have to go into the arena again.

part 2 of my thg character designs! some of the victors from catching fire (finnick and johanna as promised). some of these slightly based on the movie!

[allovesthings]

I was thinking of the third quarter quell and the tributes who knew about the rebel plan and how they would maybe have a better state of mind while entering the arena than what they had the first time around ?

Because they are not going in to kill each other but to protect the youngest victors in the arena, who are still children (and still of age to be reaped) and there is at least a chance, if they can survive long enough, to be rescued alongside Katniss.

Maybe not for everyone, but for Mags or Chaff or Seeder or even Cecelia who is a mom, they've seen children die, as mentors and finally having a chance to go into the arena and save at least, those two children might have been a relief.

I'm from Brazil and I love your Tumbrl.

I spend hours and hours reading your stories.

How do you imagine Cecelia won the games?

That's so sweet. Welcome to my blog!

There are several possibilities, but I believe what contributed greatly to her victory was her determination, which we see glimpses of in Catching Fire. She breaks away from her three kids clinging to her and climbs the stage at the Reaping. She makes herself vulnerable by looking after Woof. And she joins the rebellious victors to help Katniss survive the arena - as a mother of three. I suppose that's how the Capitol decided to torment her after her victory, by forcing her to have children, presumably even arranging a marriage for her. I don't think a victor, of all people, would dare bring three children into the world. Anyway, Cecelia might have even tricked her opponents. Not that type of trick used by Haymitch or Johanna, a more subtle method. The fact she knew a good deal about edible and poisonous insects could have been Suzanne Collins' way of hinting at her strategy - not disregarding smaller, unremarkable training stations, or even solely focusing on them. Then finding ways to turn your knowledge into an advantage. Who would waste their limited time at a training station about insects, given there are much more attractive training stations, like edible and healing plants, camouflage, wrestling, or knife throwing? Someone who is determined to win. When there is food shortage, no edible and healing plants, or hiding places in the arena, what's left? Perhaps insects? And that's when your niche knowledge comes in handy.

Having feelings abt Cecelia thg on this beautiful day 

[dawningfairytale]

so, sometimes i see people saying that victors like cecelia and woof from 8 or the morphlings from 6 or seeder from 11 just waited out their games and didn't kill anyone or only had one kill (i've been in the thg fandom on a variety of platforms i haven't mainly seen it here) and i personally have to disagree.

 "...no one in this arena was a victor by chance. except maybe peeta."

finnick says this in catching fire, and i would reckon that he knows how all the victors won their games. i'm not going to say from this that the victors were evil or whatever, because they were children trying to survive. sure, they killed people, but their situations were very nuanced moral conundrums and, also, they were children.

i think i dislike it because to act as though the "nicer" or "milder" victors didn't kill people seems to me to act as though good people don't do bad things to survive, that the games didn't corrupt people and hurt them. the games changed them, but they continued being themselves.

let's use cecelia as a case study. she fought in her games, she killed people, she survived. years later, she got married and had three children, the model of maternal love. her being a loving wife and mother, a woman whose children held on to her when she was reaped for the second time. that doesn't mean that, when push came to shove, she didn't kill anyone to stay alive. that she didn't do what we consider to be bad things when she was put in a horrible situation. her dying in the bloodbath in the 75th games doesn't mean that she was incapable of fighting to survive in her original games. in fact, it may suggest that she didn't run away from her first cornucopia, but fought in it.

my point is, i don't think that the victors who are more mild-mannered than katniss or died in the bloodbath of the 75th weren't fighters. they were teenagers forced to kill to survive. they did it. but that does not make them evil. but that lack of aggression doesn't mean they didn't fight in their games.

For the past year, @curiousthg asks weekly question about THG and TBOSAS.

What's your favorite question(s) so far? Why do you pick it?

What's your suggestion for this year questions?

Which character(s) need more attention or being discussed?

Thank you :)

@curiousnonny

It’s been so fun!!

My fav i think is my influence other people to read or watch The Hunger Games series because that’s my specialty.

Continue with great questions that make us think more critically, i truly love them.

I leave at your hands. You are the expert nonny.

Some of the tributes from districts or the characters that are mentioned but rarely thought of like Cecelia or Blight. Idk if will be fun but maybe there’s something new to learn.

The Victors of the 1st-73rd Games

here is my list of all of the victors of the Hunger Games prior to the first book! DISCLAIMER: this is not an attempt to assert anything about canon. in fact, some of this actually (intentionally) contradicts both canon and fanon! this is simply a reference list for my AU thg fic, holding bright, in which i mention a good amount of my headcanon/AU versions of past victors

Some notes:

Some nicknames:

Magdalena Flanagan goes by Mags

Anemone Cresta goes by Annie

Emmeline Lin goes by Lyme

Some people in the Capitol call Adrienne Hughes "Mercy"

Dylan Kahale winning at 19 is not a typo; he was 18 at the time of the reaping, but his 19th birthday occurred on the seventeenth day of his Games

The idea that Seeder won the 31st Games comes from the fic The Victors Project by Oisin55

The idea that Cecelia won the 57th Games comes from Fall Into the River by Oisin55

The headcanon that Annie's name is short for Anemone comes from the fic Valor, Valeria by aimmyarrowshigh

A list of the victors sorted by district can be found below the cut :)

Apparently, my main two RP archetypes are flamboyant fancy blond men who enjoy murder and werewolves who are fancy when human and feral when not, so I guess my running theme is men who have a murderous true self behind their fancy facade, which seems appropriate when I share a birthday with Oscar Wilde lol

On the other hand, my range for female characters is actually surprisingly wide tbh, especially for Hunger Games writing, I think I wrote just about everything, including a grandmotherly type in her sixties, who is actually one of the characters I enjoyed writing the most and whom I'm still super proud of in terms of my body of writing and character development, even though that was in 2013-2014 and my writing style has improved since then - yeah, this was Mags, the elderly D4 victor in Catching Fire, I wrote her in a game set during the 50-range of games, but for canon THG characters, I've also written Lyme, Cecelia, and Annie Cresta; I also successfully apped Enobaria once, but it was for the same game as Annie, and even though I won both app challenges, I could only play one of them, so I went with Annie, whom I competed against five other people for lol, but to toot my own horn, no one writes character apps as detailed as mine tbh
