#velvereen

[lost-in-beacon-hills]

Something fitting about District One naming their children after 'Luxuries.'

Gloss. Cashmere. Glimmer. Velvereen. Marvel.

Power and Luxury.

Their children are just another commodity to sell.

mentor/tribute pairing dynamics as lines from noah kahan songs (part 1, based on my hcs)

livia cardew & facet - new perspective

You and all of your new perspective now / Wish I could shut it in a closet / And drag you back down

palmyra monty & velvereen - northern attitude

Forgive my northern attitude / Oh, I was raised on little light

sejanus plinth & marcus - carlo’s song

I keep burning my bridges down / Just to keep you alive

florus friend & sabyn - the view between villages

Feel the rush of my blood / I'm seventeen again / I am not scared of death / I've got dreams again

io jasper & circ - halloween

It's not Halloween, but the ghost you're dressed up as / Sure knows how to haunt, yeah, you know how to haunt

urban canville & teslee - hollow

And I've tried to hold my temper and obscure my rage / But these kids, they never act their age / And I've got one foot in the grave

persephone price & mizzen - come over

I know that it ain't much, I know that it ain't cool / Oh, you don't have to tell the other kids at school / My dad will strike it rich, we'll be the big house on the block / Someday I'm gonna be somebody people want

festus creed & coral - homesick ft. sam fender

Static cranes stand lifeless, castin' shadows on the town / I stare out that hallowed ocean as if to pick a fight / For thе dreams my old man dreamt for me lay on thе other side

dennis fling & hy - still

It's like I'm still here with you / I don't, I don't, I don't wanna say goodbye

iphigenia & sol - you’re gonna go far

The only time I got to praying for a red light / Was when I saw your destination as a deadline

apollo ring & otto - anyway

And I hope I ain't the last of what the world left you

diana ring & ginnee - godlight

To know me is to hate me / Is to hate what I've become / It's to watch me as I'm fallin' / From that ladder's last rung

I want the tributes to escape and parkour through the Capitol to escape the cops peacekeepers. Someone films it (as well as the peacekeepers failing hilariously to keep up) and it goes viral.

The kids got away by knocking out the peacekeepers coming to drag them into the cattle car and scatter in all directions, taking the opportunity to wreak havoc across the city. It doubles as a diversion for Circ and Teslee to cause a Capitol-wide power outage and for Ginnee and Otto to hijack them a totally awesome truck to cruise away in.

Mizzen and Sheaf run around causing property damage with their antics, Brandy and Tanner are busy egging the Crane household, Panlo finds news reporters to livestream as many Ways In Which Gaius Breen Sucks And Should Break His Toes Kicking Rocks, Lucy Gray is performing a song (possibly with the help of Treech, Reaper and Velvereen) while actively getting chased, Facet is breaking into Livia’s room to destroy her makeup and deface every possession of hers he can find with it, Marcus is reconciling with Sejanus so they can team up and cause mayhem, Sabyn is cashing in on Forus’ offer to give her fashion products, Dill and Hy are collecting medicine, and generally there is Chaos.

Gaul tries to have the records deleted but it is a lost cause. Everyone remembers.

So I have been thinking a lot about facet and velvrene the tributes from district 1 in the ballad of songbirds and snakes and I haven't seen anyone talk about them so I WILL DO IT, so facet and velvrene were considered one of the strongest tributes and snow remark how with their deaths Lucy gray 's chances of winning increased and even facet 's mentor Livia was reacting to receiving him as a tribute like she's getting a cool toy and not being responsible for a kids survival ( had to get that off my chest it's the first moment that irritated me in the movie) , however I am personally questioning did facet and velvrene actually stood a chance in the games or was everyone ignoring the fact that these two might have been alot more helpless then anyone considered, this is a time before careers are a thing so training academies weren't built yet, and district 1 is a artistic district that create luxury items, like crafting jelwereies they are not involved in the physically demanding work labor the way district 2 ,4 ,7 (maybe 9 I guess) , 10 ,11 are so they might not be experienced with weapons or Sharp objects and they are not used to fighting off malnutrition and hunger the way districts 3 and 8 and 12 are , the only reason it seems to be assumed that they have the best chances of winning is because they are in a decent physical condition compared to the other tributes thanks to district 1 being the wealthiest district but is that really a advantage if they weren't going to be fed properly for days and starving for the first time in their lives is that really a advantage against people who are not only used to fighting off hunger but are also used to living in hard environments and still being skilled with a weapon, did either of them knew how to handle any Sharp object or weapon they showed up to the capitol wearing school uniforms,this is just a headcanon of mine and I don't have evidence to back it up but I think had facet and velvrene actually went to the games they might have used the tactic of running away to stay hidden , I don't think their mentors or anyone for that matter considered the shock they might be experiencing due to suddenly being forced to fight for their survival for the first time in their lives when they are not used to it but that's just my personal observation

[majorsoapfan]

Hello. I have been loving your fanfic it's so good I am using it as a coping mechanism after getting my heart broken 🥲 . Small question i might be reading too much into this but is facet younger than velvreene and sabyn in your fic or is it like a one year age gap ? Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question

(kid velvreene looking after kid Facet is so cute 🥺)

(Love how you made velvreene be one of the responsible ones with her being in the last group to go up and her volunteering to go helping treech getting supplies then her saving sabyn when they were being watched and how she comforted both her and facet in chapter 8 as a velvreene fan this makes me so happy)

Aw, thank you so much! I'm glad that my fic can help with healing broken hearts. :) And don't be sorry, there's no dumb questions! And I'm happy to answer any questions you have!

And in regards to your question now, in my fic when I was planning everything out and going by the appearances of the tributes who don't have their ages confirmed, I saw Velvereen as being about 17 years old and in my mind, she's the oldest female tribute along with Sol. And both Facet and Sabyn are younger than her. Facet is 16, while Sabyn is 15-16 as well.

I'm glad that you're liking what I'm doing with Velvereen too! Out of all the Career District tributes, especially with the backstory I've made for her, I always saw her as perhaps the most responsible of those four, while Facet and Sabyn in particular due to the fact that they're younger looking, I've tried to show their youth/vulnerability more, especially as the Capitol hasn't gotten the chance to breed the 'Career' mindset into some of the Districts yet that would make them appear tougher and more ruthless like the Career tributes that Katniss faces in her Games.

(And yes, kiddie Velvereen and Facet are adorable in my mind too! <3)

It's always good to know that people like what I'm doing with the tributes.

The other car going to the zoo

Hy : *coughing cause asthma is a bitch*

Circ : okay who here is the little mother ducker that is coughing?

Sheaf:*has an amused look on her face* a mother what?

Circ : a motherducker! Don't you guys say that when you are annoyed?

Otto *trying to hold back his laughter* no!

Hy : *coughs more*

Facet : okay but seriously who here is coughing?

Hy : asthma is a bitch okay!

Velvereen : oh you poor thing! That must be so hard for you!

Hy : I can't tell if you're sarcastic or not.

Sabyn : of course she's sarcastic you dumb hoe!

Sol : says the bitch who isn't even supposed to be here.

Teslee : can you guys be a little more quit? I'm trying to come up with a idea how to kill somebody slow and painful but not using a weapon!

Ginnee : okay wtf

Otto : please Teslee have mercy with me!

Circ : I'm your district partner you can't kill me!

Panlo : please don't kill me I'm good at making bread!

Facet : that is the dumbest excuse I've heard someone say ever.

Hy : you can kill me if you want I will either way die very slow.

Sol : please don't go emo now hy!

Sabyn : *singing* ~I fell in love with an emo girl~

Velvereen: *also singing*~ I'm in love with an emo girl*

Circ *also suddenly singing* ~I fell in love with an emo girl ~

Everybody(expect for facet) : ~all I want is an emo girl~

Facet : okay wtf is wrong with you people?!

And then they got dumped into the zoo

First fic!! I'm not good at writing so it isn't that long of a story but i like it!

[moreespressoformydepresso]

@butfilsongs okay thought it over and here’s the fix-it :)!!

Since in this post I said that I think at least some of the peacekeepers that came to grab the tributes during the arena bombing came from outside, I had an idea for how all the tributes could escape from the city.

What if, instead of running for the exit, the district 1 and 2 kids saw the tunnels blasted open and went in there instead? Ginnee and Otto survived by sheer luck of the bombs going off a little earlier, and their mentors were saved by peacekeepers. This works because of a thing @idontliketomatoesleavemealone pointed out about them wearing armor which would protect them at least a little. They are out of it, though, because blows to the head suck. Ginnee and Otto, like Panlo and Sheaf, end up greatly injured and are denied medical care. Here’s where the fun begins (for me at least, if you like Hurt No Comfort this is not for you):

Thanks to the peacekeepers coming in from outside and the tunnels being so much closer than the exit, the four escapee tributes make it out. Sabyn, Velvereen, Facet, and Marcus are on the run. They could try to escape the city and forget all about this, but… those other kids don’t deserve to die, and leaving them to their fate feels… cruel. And also, escaping the city is exactly what the Capitol expects them to do so going along with it makes it more likely for them to be caught. So they get out of the tunnels and figure out where the zoo is. Marcus clearly didn’t disguise himself, but now there are three other kids there to come up with ideas. Facet and Velvereen suggest they try to look more like Capitol kids so it’s more likely people won’t look at them twice. While they’re at it they snag some supplies for short-term disguises and then wait until it’s late to go over to the zoo.

Now, these kids may not have the best mentors (cough cough Livia Cardew cough cough) but they can see some of the others starting to care about their tributes. And these influential nepo-babies are the future of Panem. The four free tributes have had time to think things through, and the last thing they wanna do is hand the Capitol propaganda on a silver platter and turn their only hope of ending the games for good against them. In terms of trying to convince their overlords the tributes are human beings too, killing peacekeepers means they may as well confess to cannibalism and skinning puppies for fun. Also, it would be justification for the Capitol calling this an all hands on deck situation and throw everything into finding the tributes, which is the last thing they need. So the four escapees refrain from brutal murder and instead merely knock out the ones too close to the enclosure for comfort. They take some of the guns, though, because they’re not stupid enough to actually believe their attempts at showing innocence will do anything and they’d rather be armed if it comes down to the worst-case scenario.

Next they break open the zoo enclosure and wake up their fellow district kids inside. Some frantic whispering later and everyone’s awake and ready to leave. The four injured kids and Dill get carried on the backs of the stronger kids for obvious reasons, and off they go. I’ll stop here and consider collecting my ideas for the rest of their shenanigans in this City of Nightmares in a separate post because I have plans.

Yes, it does involve arson. No, Gaul’s lab does not survive. Possibly, neither does she.

That last bit is not entirely on the tributes.

[spiralling-thoughts]

hello!! first of all just wanted to say that i cert much enjoy all of your district 1 thoughts!! do you have any other velvereen thoughts to share? she’s still a mystery to me

also- i always refer to you as spiral but i noticed you have been using the tag #roka ramble and spiraling

is roka your actual name?? would you prefer to me switch to calling you that instead?? (or something else entirely?)

ps- loved your district 8 fashion post! any thoughts on d1 fashion??

okay i think i have asked way too much in one ask so sorry and ily <3

No need to apologise I enjoy getting asks and try my best answering them 😊

You can refer to me whatever you like I don't mind and have multiple nicknames irl, rokaya is my real name and roka is a nickname my parents and siblings refer to me as a short cut

I think fashion in D1 changed over the years I headcanon that by the events of tbosas they had 70s.80s insperd fashion by Katniss time they had a quite luxury outfits there is also alot of elements of businesses wear while they are the wealthiest distric they still would prioritize comfort and practicality and there is work uniform for every business

As for the Velvereen thoughts I have plenty

Like I said before I I headcanon her being a triplet she is the youngest out of her sisters by 10 minutes satina is the eldest twin and mullberry is the middle twin

Due to the fact that Velvereen faced alot of envy and people often tried to take advantage of her and her family because of their wealth she often has a hard time trusting people and always second guess their intentions she also has constant fear that people are judging her and constantly side eye whoever she suspects is judging her

(Sorry got to add my silly shipping headcanons)

That's one of the reasons why she befriended and eventually feel in love with facet I headcanon that facet is someone who wears his heart on his sleeve and doesn't ask for anything and is also a bad liar he Also doesn't judge anyone for being emotional , she found comfort in the fact that she can always get the truth out from facet and that he would never use her and he didn't care that she is from a wealthy family

Her favourite sweet is chocolate cake with strawberry cream and facet got her one on their first date

I headcanon that district 1 has a program to help poorer citizens of the district and Velvereen is a volunteer in this program she helps making food for the poor citizens and bake for orphans

Was closed off from friendship for 2 years when she learned that her friends only befriended her for her money when she was a kid

Is suprisingly a good Baker she Also plays tennis she is a average student her personality is more athletic than academic

People assume she is a tomboy but really she just keeps her dresses for special occasions she Also DESPISES eyeshadow satina can beg her to put some all she wants she won't add eyeshadow

She fidgets with anything around her neck wither it's her collar her zipper and even though she is not a accessories person she always has a necklace on because it's her go to for fidgeting

She absolutely hated Palmyra first it was her being late to bring food then it was her getting angry at Velvereen for sharing with facet and telling her to abounded him then throwing the biggest fit when she saw facet comforting Velvereen and making it clear she is acting that way because she hates livia and so Velvereen should hate facet wich started a shouting match another one happened when Palmyra suggested that Velvereen act more "Capitol like " and that the Capitol viewers could relate to her if they saw her like them wich Velvereen wasn't having it how could they relate to her when they don't view her as a human being and gawk at her like an animal and have delightfully watched as d1 children were murdered she called Palmyra crazy and delusional right to her face

She gave Leo's friends a hug at his funeral and the next day bought them food and toys and new clothes and they shared their memories about Leo

Her nickname is venny and she rides a bike

She was weary of panlo and terrified of lamina because it was the boy from D9 who killed jade and the girl from 7 that killed Leo despite remembering how terrified both kids were when they killed them and facet reminding her that none of the tributes are their enemies

She has a bit of temper and might unintentionally lash out and scream if someone got on her nerves

When the hunger was taking over Velvereen started biting her hand and at some point facet had to pull her hand away because she was close to breaking skin

Kinda assumed that she could fight if she grabbed a weapon and wacked people over the head with it like a tennis ball and facet was looking at her like:😑😑😑😑that won't work, and she replied with: I KNOW BUT WHAT ELSE AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?

Also ofcourse she and facet cuddled every night at the zoo she was going back and forth between being like: I have to kill to survive to stupid teenage girl in love who is happy her boyfriend finds her beautiful even at her dishevelled and dirty state (sorry)

I was once doodling her and accidentally made her very tall so headcanon that she is rather tall don't ask about her hight I am bad at measuring it

[talkshowboyluvr]

looking over my death planning out for allies or enemies, why did i write it like a shopping list 😭
