#even if satoru feels a distinctly different sense of protectiveness over the youth

[woahjo]

callieeee baby did you get my ask? 😭 campus internet is really testing my patience this week. been acting up for everyone since friday and there’s nothing i can dooooo 🥲🥲🥲 anyways if you didn’t get my other ask: you can assign me another emoji if you want 🥹🥲 i feel like it would be slightly weird for you to not see the emoji 🤧 the one i chose (🪼) is a jellyfish because i think jellyfishes are really cool 🥹 like they mind their own business but if you touch them you’re steak. you’re DONE.

anyways. 🧶 or 🫧 or 🧃 maybe? 🥰 pick one! or another one! lovinggggggg the hunger games aus btw!!! like… imagine meeting Satoru and Suguru. victors from different districts, less than one year between them in age and they won the years after each other (Gojo first) 👀👀👀

HIIII omg no i didn't get your first ask 😭 im sorry that u have to keep sending them twice ;(((( but thank you for doing that!!!! im sorry i can't see the jellyfish emoji im sure its beautiful :( BUT the yarn ball is so cute are you cool with me using that one for ya?

ohhhh fuck suguru in a hunger games au is so enchanting to me because... i think his games and the aftermath of them REALLY send him off of the deep end. i think he's a career, probably from a district like one or two where capital loyalty is strong. i also think he volunteers at 18 and i think that the end of his games particularly scar him because he'd been forced to kill his district partner.

after his games.. suguru comes back relatively the same and people are pulled in by his cool exterior and pretty face. the people in his district love him, the capitol loves him, and other victors love (or loathe) him. especially satoru. him and satoru get on well. thick as thieves after their first two years as mentors, but suguru doesn't have the constitution that satoru has. he has more of a proclivity to doom and he begins to succumb to it as he sends others into the arena.

he becomes vengeful, but not in a tactful way, and it gets his family killed. it gets his friends killed. it puts his districts tributes in danger because the capitol punishes him with the deaths of others like him. unlike satoru, who uses his status to his advantage, suguru begins to shy away, retreating into his own personal circle.

i don't think this version of suguru commits mass murder, but i do think he goes off of his rocker just a little bit. his games haunt him, the idea that he was only a kid, that he was tricked into protecting and then subsequently killing his district partner. suguru cannot take the loss and he struggles with the blood on his and the capitol's hands. yes, satoru has been through the same, but suguru takes it more personally. it becomes something that he cannot willfully attempt to shake off. his loyalty to the capitol and his trauma and anger clash in a deeply destructive way.

he's removed from the cameras, from events, he mentors from behind the scenes (if at all), and when a new winner from his district takes over, no one from the capitol ever hears from him again. satoru does though. satoru tries to connect with him as best he can from another district and when people ask with sullen eyes what good could ever come from the games, he can't help but look back on meeting suguru. i think suguru becomes someone satoru feels the need to protect, even if suguru is perfectly capable of protecting himself to an almost selfish degree (given his careless behavior that resulted in the deaths of so many others). but satoru doesn't blame him. fear does weird things to a person. the games do weird things to a person.

yeah... something like that
