something about the fact that the tributes in sotr were using the abandoned academy gym just stuck with me. like... did haymitch stare up at the same showerhead as snow did back when he was still a student?

district 6 headcanons! 🚂

yeah, i'm a d6 fan too!!! sue me! here are my top hcs that i use for worldbuilding. if you've read my fic, "o children", then you'll recognize a lot of these things.

industry things

district 6 has many industries involving transportation. oil rigging companies, vehicle manufacturing factories (that they call 'manu-factories' for short), exporters and importers, etc..

exporters and importers get to travel outside of the district for a few weeks at a time, but their activity is monitored by peacekeepers quite heavily.

exporters and importers have the most access to morphling, and consume it more too. of course, there's rings that trade it and such, but people (and those in different districts) usually get their fixes through them.

i can imagine d6 being a work accident prone district. falling off trains, spilling oil, falling manufactured parts, etc..

as part of my fic, there's also an underground boxing ring ran by the peacekeepers to keep themselves entertained, but also to put money in the pockets of those who might not wanna end up in prison and need an... alternative to jail time. i hc that other districts have it too! maybe in d2?

^ OOH! speaking of which, what if career districts developed it into academies while others had it die down/kept more on the down low?

places

VERY polluted district. like, they have to have air purifiers in their homes and wear "outdoor masks" made out of cloth around their faces type of polluted. i also think districts that manufacture things -- like 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 12 -- also have a smilar problem.

i think the problem is concentrated more on the urban areas or people who live next to the factories/train stations.

apparently their population is larger than the average district, according to the fandom wiki, so i imagine that the poorer section of the district live near the factories in large apartment buildings. a neighborhood that i've created is called "farren heights".

meanwhile, the richer folks lived in townhouses/rowhouses. they have more of their own space, but the houses are still very, very squished together. another neighborhood i've created is called "peregrine court".

between the two is their marketplace/commercial area called "traveler's square". of course, they'll have their own shops in their respective neighborhoods, but it's not as plentiful as traveler's square. they need those spaces to create new apartment units or housing developments for the growing population. TS brings them together as it has all the fun pubs, shops, etc..

i think they travel within the district via a smaller metro/train system!

i also believe that due to their growing population, and because not everyone can afford the rent, they have a group of people they call "vagabonds". they build their own homes, but because of the expenses, they don't have their own purifiers. they are the most affected by the pollution.

cultural influences?!

DISCLAIMER: i don't claim being part of the cultures mentioned, so if anyone wants to drop some info, feel free to comment or send an ask so that i can incorporate it into my d6 lore! <3

german and indigenous algonquin are their dominant cultures. (hugest shout out to @pottershawkinswp and @wxstfulthoughts for helping me with the german stuff TM).

this is b/c there was a big migration of german people in this region some time ago. and the indigenous tribes that occupy these lands are algonquin!

the more minor cultures are black and latino! this is because of the fact that they have a very, very small portion of illinois/chicago according to the fandom wiki 😜

potatoes are their main source of carbs. and they have a lot of german-style foods like cheese soup, cold breakfast, etc..

along with travel/manufacture themed names, i also think some people have german influences in their names or surnames.

as for indigenous influence, i can see the youngsters referring to the older people as "elders". they also definitely pass down cultures through story-telling or word of mouth.

i also think they have a cryptid called the W. nothing else to the name, just the W. it's known today as the w*ndigo, but b/c i'm scared TM of the taboo that saying its name will bring it closer to you, i will not say it 😇 over time, the name was forgotten and just became known as the singular letter!

those of indigenous descent would keep their hair long in braids. i believe beading is implemented into their clothes too :)

these folks definitely line dance, a bit of jazz, bit of freestyling. very lively and very

HEAR ME OUT: district 6 greasers. i'm talking the outsiders, random fights, overly gelled hair, cigarette in mouth, and greaser v. socs battles in very sketchy alleyways.

yeah! that's all i have off the top of my head. this was longer than i thought 😭 feel free to incorporate these into your own d6 lore, but yeah! i 💜 district 6

“Remember that all worlds draw to an end and that noble death is a treasure which no one is too poor to buy.”

kyriaki dearborn

→ the dearborn family money has been invested in the coal mines of district 12 since essentially the beginning of panem. back then, coal was much more of a necessity and was heavily relied on by the capitol. over the years, panem relied on coal less and less leading to the dearborn family losing a a large portion of their money.

→ because the dearborn family was essentially one of the founding families- they’re still considered elite but lesser than the ultra-rich families. one thing that keeps them tied into the elite circle is the way the heavensbee and dearborn families are tired together due to generations of dark secrets shared.

→ because of the ties with the heavensbee family, kyriaki and hilarius have always been close. the two of them are really the only people who know the full-extent of their families craziness and appreciate having the other one to confide in. juno phipps is also close to the pair and the three are often together.

→ her family privately practice christianity at home because it’s been passed down through the generations. it’s why people in 12 were able to hang on to a love of christianity- because the dearborns have historically encouraged it.

→ during the games, kyriaki is not considered important enough to be chosen as a mentor. lysistrata does come to her for help with jessup, however, since kyriaki has a much better understanding about the culture in 12. kyriaki and lysistrata become close during the games and become more than friends following them.

→ unfortunately, due to the dearborns investments in 12, her parents have a lot of eyes that report back to them. kyriaki hears rumors about the disappearance of lucy gray and she shares them with lyssie who feels the need to investigate in jessup’s honor.

→ the pair are eventually quietly killed on snow’s orders while visiting 12 to investigate lucy gray’s disappearance. their friends and families are told they were lost in the woods and never found, likely killed off by the people of 12.

an arachne moodboard i made for a fic in the drafts <3 (fic version under the cut)

link to the tiktok to see the fic's (vague) intro post

[wxstfulthoughts]

every new prequel that describes the horrors of the games that so many endured and lost their lives over it just makes katniss and peeta’s happy ending so much more meaningful like what they went through was awful but the fact that they made it out together and that haymitch finally managed not to save one but two tributes that he gets to see grow and make a family and bond after all the they have been through is just really special to me

[wxstfulthoughts]

lucy gray, against all odds, won the 10th hunger games and is sent back to district twelve. however, unlike the previous years, the fallen tributes aren't shipped back to their home districts, their families.

instead, much like the single remaining copy of the 10th games' footage, dr gaul keeps them to herself. deep in her lab, with only few assistants knowing (or caring) where these bodies came from.

the urge to make a new tbosas OC as soon as I see a nice fc is overwhelming

[wxstfulthoughts]

Hi! 😺

I will be doing a tbosas character head cannon generator series. I was wondering if you could help. 🫶🏻

Pick five characters for me to do! 💖💖💖

ohhh that's sm fun!! let's see

iphigenia, lyssie, hy, sol and tigris!

shout out to hippocrata lunt who had to have many counseling sessions to mediate between coriolanus snow and livia cardew

[wxstfulthoughts]

probably not an original hc: what if it was revealed that persephone price was coryo's first lady?

according to the myth, hades took persephone from demeter to make her queen of the underworld, a place where the dead are kept. she is allowed to return to demeter every few months, thanks to a compromise from zeus that involved the seeds of pomegranates. in the months of her absence, the earth is covered in snow.

what if coriolanus snow took persephone as his first lady despite the repulsion he felt whenever he was around her because of what he saw from her father? and what if that repulsion was exactly what led him to marry her? he keeps her locked in at all times, but is allowed to return to her father on occasion. the times when she's away from her loved ones feels so cold.

cold like... snow, perhaps?

and coriolanus isn't blind. he knows that his good friend, festus creed, had his eye on persephone price for a while. but the coward never made a move. he simply admired from afar. he knows what people would do for love, -- he experienced it himself -- so: did he also take persephone as his wife because it would keep festus close to his side? he'd swear loyalty to coriolanus if it meant getting to see persephone price and making sure she was safe (now that he knew what snow was capable of)?

persephone price is now the queen of the underworld. after all... is panem not just a large graveyard for district children?

since you love hilarius so much, i was wondering if ud have any hcs?

THANK YOU, i was waiting for this :x

Hilarius is a complete mama’s boy.

the type that, whenever he comes home, he kisses his mother on the forehead and always takes her opinions seriously.

she was the one who told him to wear his shorts on the reaping day!!

Has a sister!

he grew up with a sister close in age to him (older or younger).

he and his sister are inseparable, but they are always arguing about the most idiotic topics possible.

(she definitely made fun of his shorts).

Not so close to his dad, but their relationship is good.

Dramatic, extremely dramatic.

he's the type to catch a cold and say he's going to die soon.

Loves sweets, especially chocolates.

he especially likes almond chocolates and milk chocolates (also likes chocolates with nuts but doesn't tell anyone).

hates white chocolate because he thinks it doesn't taste like chocolate.

Hilarius is the type of person who notices everything, even without wanting to.

he's the type of person who can tell when one of his friends is sad or upset just by noticing their behavior.

no one can hide a crush from him, he's one of the first to notice it.

Hilarius is scandalous, he’s the type of person who can't hide his gaze, so his friends avoid telling him gossip when someone is nearby.

Children usually don't like him.

this actually makes him quite upset, because what do you mean there's someone who doesn't like him????

pup is tired of hearing him bark about this.

Last but not least: he knows all the gossip!

he doesn't even make an effort to learn things, but information just comes to him.

most of the time, pup tells him the gossip (they already had problems because of this).

Thank you so much for the request, anon!! i love yapping about Hilarius. :x

Also, i have a Hilarius fanfic if anyone is interested.
