nobody can escape the bows

[moreespressoformydepresso]

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.

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

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

————————————

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

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 🎀

[spiralling-thoughts]

Okay so I said I don't have many circ headcanons YEAH that changed here they are

TW for ableism

1- is in a single parent household his mother was accused of knowing rebels and was executed for it when the war was ending because of this circ had to mature very quickly and help his father take care of his 4 siblings and started working at the factory at 9 years old and became a second father and the mother of the family at the same time

2- he works multiple jobs to support his family in the morning he works in a factory in the afternoon as a technician and at the evening does some programming so to say he's overworked and sleep deprived would be an understatement but hey anything to help his father and make sure his siblings don't go to bed hungry so it's all worth it 🥲👍

3- he adores all of his siblings and expresses how proud he is with them and their achievements and is protective of all of them

4 - he's especially close to his middle sister casset who's 14 years old , she often faces a lot of bullying because she couldn't live up to the expectations that was expected from a district 3 citizen and was kicked out of school and struggled in finding a job because she was struggling in paying attention and couldn't keep up with the fast learning that was expected in district 3(she's an undiagnosed ADHD ), circ throughout all of these kept standing up for her and encouraging her to find what she was good at and helped her as best as he could and resured her that she is amazing and comforted her when she would be feeling down

5- is a multi- tasking he does his homework while at the same time writing down what supplies are needed and what bills to pay

6- have gray blue spots on his body due to Argyria and started needing glasses when he was 12 also despite being the eldest his rather short his younger siblings are taller than him

7- he and teslee knew each other prior to their reaping he was tasked with teaching her and two other kids how to rewire along with other skills as it's common for older children to teach younger ones in district 3 , he was very nervous at first and didn't think he would be good at teaching but it turned out good and he helps his siblings with studying

8- he has very high expectations of himself and always feels like he should always be improving and doing better and knowing better wich causes him to be self depreciating when he fails at something or couldn't control his emotions or did something he considers stupid

9 - is good at sewing as he regularly had to fix his siblings clothes

10 - I imagine his 18 he was was very stressed that any of his siblings would be reaped especially casset he was terrified that her reaping would be rigged because there were cases of children with mental disabilities being rigged to be sent to the games because they were seen as useless for the district he never thought itd be him but better him than any of his siblings

11- he was very worried for his family and could barely sleep from the stress he was constantly thinking how would they manage with him gone and even had a panic attack when he and teslee were waiting for the train which teslee helped him through it

12- at first he liked io they nerded out and he even told her about his family and they worked on strategies and he even felt like had she been born in district 3 she would have been no different than any other district 3 citizen however when she off handedly mentioned the fact that she isn't popular among her peers and the plinth prize that set all the alarms in his head and he started questioning her and feeling like she was only using him to make herself more popular and that she was tricking him, the capitol have always wanted to use district 3 s knowledge so that they benefit from it and make their lives more comfortable but they don't value district 3 they literally see them as worthless animals why would Io be any different? And he felt stupid for thinking that Io cared about him and it made him resentful and angry at everything including himself he knows how much the capitol doesn't care about them he always knew he lost his mother and childhood to the capitol he should have known better he should have judged better instead of having such a childish thought like thinking that a capitol citizen saw him as anything other than an opportunity, he didn't voice any of these thoughts instead giving Io the coldest shoulder he could give

[zippiedippievippie]

Not to be annoying but Circ, Teslee, Hy, and Sol are computer/gaming nerds. They run a coding club called Computer Commodore to the Power of Four (what a mouthful, eew nerds!) that’s just the four of them and they hack websites whenever they’re bored

Teslee seems sweet until suddenly she’s hacking our beloved tumblr.com and sitting back to watch the chaos ensue. Also she definitely found Urban (🤢)’s user and exposed him to the entire school for his hidden love of telenovelas

Circ has mad computer skills but spends most of his time doing good aka fixing inaccurate Wikipedia pages (😡😡😡) and fighting with people on Reddit (he’s a sensitive soul who cries in the bathroom when the trolls are mean to him)

Sol likes to imagine herself as a baddie hacker with tats and piercings who could care less about anything (picture Rihanna in Ocean’s Eight or Samira Wiley in Nerve) but she ditches her computer in a heartbeat to go hang out with her gf (what a simp eew)

Hy is the only normal one. He actually knows what grass is (and has even touched it wow!) and parents love him. He’s into old arcade video games and his favorite movie is Wreck it Ralph (and denies it every time Sol brings it up, what about it!)

[boabelboo]

Tribute Interviews for the 10th Hunger Games

“The only mentors invited to appear on the pre-show were the seven who’d participated on the interview night.” (Pg. 198)

➤ Lysistrata Vickers & Jessup- Jessup demonstrated his strength by lifting Lysistrata over his head.

➤ Io Jasper & Circ- Spoke about Circ could start a fire with his glasses while Io suggested various times and angles he could use to do this.

➤ Juno Phipps & Bobbin- Juno spoke about how disappointed she had been to get Bobbin but had been won over when he told her five ways to kill someone with a sewing needle.

➤ Festus Creed & Coral- Coral demonstrated her skills with a trident by using an old broomstick.

➤ Domitia Whimsiwick & Tanner- Talked about slaughterhouse techniques. The pair had to be cut off by Lucky when they ran over and received the most applause (aside from Lucy Gray).

➤ Felix Ravinstill & Dill- Felix attempted to make an impression but even Dill’s coughs were barely audible.

➤ Coriolanus Snow & Lucy Gray- Lucy Gray sang an original song that moved the audience to tears.

This would mean that of the living tributes: Teslee, Mizzen, Sol, Treech, Lamina, Wovey, and Reaper did not participate in the interviews.

[darlingsnow0]

all the tributes with bows

[moreespressoformydepresso]

I’m working on a thing where all the tributes of the 10th Hunger Games won separate games, ultimately leading to president Snow getting his shit rocked because he sucked from the beginning and TBOSAS proved that, and I was thinking about how all the tributes would have won their games. The way you play the game and what led to your victory will probably have impact on how you cope and what exactly triggers PTSD. I’ve been mostly focused on Lamina and Treech because I love the district 7 tributes they’re built different, but I’ll try to come up with as many as possible for this list:

Velvereen was a career, and scored multiple kills while working with them, but ultimately the alliance broke apart as their members died off in their attempts to hunt down others. Velvereen, being less murder-happy, didn’t get revenge killed, nor did she get overwhelmed by a tribute she attacked, which left her as the last of the pack standing. She won because her last opponent used a melee weapon and she used throwing knives. Thanks to the advantage she had by not only having a long range weapon, but also a lifetime of training to hone her accuracy, she ended their would-be-battle swiftly and took the win.

Facet was also a part of the career pack, not necessarily hunting people down but going out of his way to kill whoever he came across that wasn’t a career. His weapon of choice was a spear, and he won by leaving the career pack when the water got a bit too hot under the team’s feet, and spearing the last tribute like a cannibal-style meat skewer.

Sabyn made full use of her superior health and knowledge of building structures in an urban arena. Aside from using her skill with the mace to bludgeon people to death, she also used it to hit all the weak points in the structures and collapsed walls on top of people. She took out the last remaining tributes by collapsing a building on top of them and killing off the survivors with her mace.

Marcus spent most of his games using his vastly superior physical strength and more well-fed state to his advantage, knowing most of his allies were waiting for the moment they thought they no longer needed him to get rid of him. His solution was to run awa- just kidding he killed them all in their sleep and used the intellect everyone thought he lacked for the rest of the games until the final fight, where he bashed the other tribute’s head into the rocks and then choked them to death.

Teslee wins her games by using her knowledge of electronics to reactivate the mines around the starting platforms and hiding in the cornucopia when there’s only four people left. When the mutts drive everyone to the middle of the arena, they’re subsequently blown up.

Circ wins his games in similar fashion to Teslee, except he gets forced to help the careers with his intellect and knowledge of technology. In response, Circ uses his intellect and knowledge of technology to trick the careers into protecting him and handing him weapons until he no longer needs them, then having the plan they made him execute literally blow up in their face and electrocuting several of them in the process. The last career is killed when Circ evades their attacks until they hit an electrical line with their fully metal weapon.

Coral probably won the same way she almost did in the movie. She was part of the career pack and made sure to be the one to backstab their allies first. There is no little brother figure for her to be worried about, nor are there snakes designed to kill every last person in the arena, so she has all the room and time she needs to handily shish kebab the last tribute and claim victory.

Mizzen doesn’t have as much brutal efficiency, nor the physique that Coral did even though I’m aging him up. He instead wins by mixing her strategy with the tried and true method of staying away from the things that could turn you into a pincushion. It’s like Marcus’ approach in reverse, starting with intellect and finishing with brute strength. He joins the careers, but as soon as things go slightly south he takes out the biggest threat when they aren’t paying attention and runs for the hills (or ocean, because district 4). He lures the last tribute to a body of water by pretending to run away and using the dark so they don’t see the cliff coming, and once they’re in his territory he uses his net to catch them and his trident or knife to finish them off.

Lamina cries so much in the lead up to the games that everyone, including her mentors, have given up on her. Once the games actually begin she surprises everyone with her strategy and skill with an ax, climbing a mountain high enough that people can’t kill her without going up themself and only coming down when she has to. When she does, she stockpiles water and food so she can stay up as long as possible while waiting for the others to whittle down the numbers. On one of her runs she finds a tribute who had a run in with the careers and was tortured almost to death. At their request, she puts them out of their misery. At the end of the games she’s barely got a scratch on her and is still at peak health for the circumstances. She’s forced to come down by the gamemakers, and all but one tribute is killed by the mutts. However, they’re so badly hurt that they beg her to just finish it and end their torment, at which point she hands out a second mercy kill.

Treech won his games by focusing on survival during training and pretending to be very bad at wielding an ax, only showing enough skill to avoid suspicion since he’s from the lumber district. He used good looks and charm during the interview to gain sponsors and talked about home to set up a proper sob story to get sympathy. He used the confusion of the cornucopia to snatch some of the supplies further away from the cornucopia and stays hidden from other tributes for the entirety of his games. Thanks to his stealing from everyone, including the careers, without getting caught, he has enough screen time to maintain his sponsors without putting himself in too much danger, especially before he gets his hands on an ax. His only kills occur during the final minutes of the games, where he jumps the last three careers once he realizes they won’t fight each other until he’s dead and waiting for the capitol to send mutts is more dangerous. He uses the element of surprise to jump the careers, cleaving one in the head and throwing his ax at the career with a long range weapon, before using his knife to injure the last tribute while stopping them from fatally wounding him until he manages to pull the ax from the body of the second career, turning to avoid a swing and gain momentum before swinging down and planting his ax in the last kid’s neck, killing them instantly.

Bobbin lost his arm in the games (I cannot see him as someone that isn’t Knox Gibson), and killed someone with a needle since he knows five ways to do exactly that. After losing his arm, he stayed alive by sewing it and several dangerous gashes closed so he wouldn’t bleed to death. He tripped the second to last other tribute using thread from his clothing and they got ripped to shreds by mutts that had been released into the arena. The last person was killed with that same thread, a brick, and yet again a needle.

Wovey used her perceived disadvantage (again, I cannot see a Wovey that isn’t Sofia Sanchez) by making everyone believe she’s weak. The arena was an industrial terrain not unlike district eight, which meant hiding was a piece of cake for her. Also, she used her knowledge of these kinds of buildings to lead whatever tribute was chasing her around until they were in a prime place for her to strike or ran into another tribute to strike for her. The last tribute was pushed into a machine, which crunched them to death.

Sheaf used her agility to her advantage, and luckily there was a sickle in the arena for her so her strategy became to rush at people with melee weapons, who would then predictably prepare to block a head-on attack, only to duck past them and cleave them in the back. She won her games by tiring her opponent out and decapitating them.

Panlo picks up on skills easily, and in the three days he had at the training centre he learned to shoot pretty decently with a bow and arrow. He’s best with a sickle, but they didn’t have those in his arena and he’d rather stay long range so bow and arrow it was. Nobody expected him to become so proficient so quickly, and since none of the careers used bows Panlo waited until after the bloodbath to run to the cornucopia and grab the set, as well as some supplies. He spent his games scoping out good sniper posts and shooting anyone who got too close for comfort, winning the games by waiting for the last two to finish duking it out and shooting the winner in the stomach, then finishing it with a shot through the chest.

Tanner won his games by joining an alliance (not the careers) and relying on their numbers to keep others from attacking him for as long as possible. During the final fight he uses his strength to wrestle the other person to the ground and uses his knife and experience from working in the slaughterhouses to gut them.

Brandy wins her games by using everything she knows from the slaughterhouses to kill the other tributes. During her last battle, she wrestles the other tribute to the ground and snaps their neck.

Dill is also aged up, and used her fragile state to play innocent before dropping all sorts of deadly things on people’s heads from the trees and poisoning them with her knowledge of agriculture.

Reaper is basically Thresh if Thresh hadn’t died so the capitol could have their star-crossed lovers death battle (you cannot tell me the storm didn’t have that exact purpose, the mutts are more ambiguous). Physically intimidating and strong, but deciding to lay low for most of the games rather than going on a rampant murder spree. He refuses to play the game and doesn’t kill anyone until he and one of the careers are the last two standing. The skirmish ends with Reaper scoring a revenge kill for his district partner, who was killed by this tribute.

Jessup used his strength to to intimidate the other tributes into steering clear of him. He joins the careers right until they’ve got one more dangerous tribute to get rid of, at which point he knows it’s time to cut his losses and run away. He keeps the careers alive, because he needs them to get rid of the other tribute and he’s lower on the priority list, but he knows that once that kid’s gone he’s the next to go. So he subtly stalls them until a night where it’s his turn to watch and grabs as many supplies as he can quietly get his hands on and leaves them behind. Another tribute stumbles across them and gets rid of half the pack, but that’s not Jessup’s concern. He wins the games by smashing a bottle over another tribute’s head and stabbing them to death with the shards.

Lucy Gray Baird wins by becoming the capitol favorite for her games. Her “performance” leads to her getting more sponsors than even some of the careers, which allows her to stay alive without having to put herself into much danger to get supplies. She wins by singing to snake mutts until they recognize her scent and stop attacking her, at which point she has venomous sentient weapons in her arsenal which she makes full use of, taking out two tributes with snake bites and ultimately distracting the last other tribute with them, using the opening it gives her to kill them.

I genuinely cannot think of anything for Hy, Sol, Ginnee or Otto for now, sorry 😅.
