𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐄

a universe spanning from the first hunger games to the first centennial quell. follows a world in which the career districts are districts 7, 9, and 10, and districts 1, 2, and 4 are no longer trained volunteers. no fics yet--more of a worldbuilding thing that i will probably mainly post about here because i love brainrotting about my ocs lmfao

[writingdose]

writers, instead of asking ai for help, you can always use your childhood trauma and repressed issues to help you with that fic

[limbel]

we have to thank our brave soldiers in fandom who write gen fics. we have to thank our brave soldiers in fandom who write character studies and stories with no focus on romance or sex. we have to get on our knees and thank the brave soldiers in fandom who write about minor characters and friendship and family with no focus on romance or sex. i know it’s hard to care about characters in a world that seems to only revolve around ships but i see you. and i love you

[syotverses]

Welcome to SYOT Verses!

We are a Discord community centred around Hunger Games OCs and SYOTs.

SYOTs (submit your own tribute) are a form of fan-fiction where you send a tribute to be featured in another writer's Hunger Games story. It is typically done by reserving a spot, filling out a form and then waiting excitedly for the fate of your tribute and the other tributes around them in their very own arena! If you're lucky, you might emerge with your character as the victor.

SYOT Verses was created as a space for readers and writers to talk about their own fics, characters and worldbuilding. We're a very active community and host a number of events throughout the year. These include reading events, reviewing events and our biggest annual event, Victor Exchange!

Please feel free to contact us or send an ask for any more information. If you're a fan of OC Hunger Games content, you'll be very welcome in our little community!

The Capitol - Panem

I don’t like the super heavy handed 60s aesthetic of the SOTR movie. I always imagined the Capitol as Avant Garde, or “clown like” with their painted skin and colorful wigs and tattoos. It’s obviously up to everyone but this is how they look in my eyes

[homano222]

hunger games fans are so funny they’re really just like “yeah my favorite character is boxcutter from district 8, he has 0.33 total page time, no lines of dialogue, and he gets torn apart by mutts immediately in the games, heres the devastating, 50,000 word, lore-extensive fic i wrote about him” and I love y’all for that

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

if you comment some demanding shit like this on fanfic writers’ works, you don’t deserve the privilege of getting to read fanfiction for free

Delaneira Holman and Saga Vespertine

*pulls out comically dressed sock puppet hand* omg max. max can you please tell us about the sad trauma bond between two of your d2 victors. max please we're begging. Why yes of course!! Here is my big big ramble about the strange mother-daughter relationship that grows between Saga Vespertine (d2f, 120) and Delaneira Holman (d2f, 134). (tw: discussions of dissociation, sexism, and mentions of creepy capitol behavior) Saga comes from a very rich part of District Two, closer to the center of the District that definitely 100% has a name. Her family has money from weapons manufacturing, and as a result of that connection they are pretty heavily loyalist. Saga is also in a HUGE family. Like, she only has two younger sisters and a younger brother herself, but her parents both have upwards of 3 siblings, and those siblings have kids, etc etc etc. TL;DR it's a huge ass family okay. Most of the Vespertine sons are pumped immediately into into the Virtus Institute (which also happens to house Two's training program). A few come close to being tributes but barely edge out of volunteering, instead becoming Peacekeepers. Saga wants very badly to be apart of this life because she is a brainwashed child from District Two. Unfortunately, because she is a woman and her family is heavily traditionalist, she is encouraged instead to find an officer to marry or take over the handling of finances when she comes of age.

However, Saga doesn't take her family's rejection so easily. Instead, she runs away from home and signs up without their knowledge. Although she does not have her family's blessing, she ends up being favored by a previous Victor in her earlier stages of training and therefore is permitted to remain on the Institute--with the understanding that if she does not become a tribute, she is going to be sent packing. Saga trains twice as hard as a result, and pulls ahead of her class with ease. She wields a chain mace like nobody's business and usually frightens off anybody from interacting with her. She has a lonely training experience but honestly doesn't give a fuck because why would she? She's going to enter the Hunger Games and win. Simple as that. Eventually, Saga volunteers, along with fellow trainee Arkose Parsamyan. Unfortunately, Arkose happens to be in a crowd at the Institute which isn't very fond of Saga. They find her very strange, as well as untrustworthy. You don't exactly want to be thrown into the Games with an ally who rarely speaks, after all. Makes it a little bit hard to work together--which is especially troublesome when a lot of Two's strategy tends to rely on teamwork and a sense of fellowship. Soon enough, the pair is in the Arena. Saga is ready as ever, as is Arkose, only for both to receive a rather startling shock: their Arena is a large, sprawling spa. This is Saga's worst nightmare; she finds herself surrounded by reminders of the very thing that makes her peers scoff at her: her womanhood. You see, although girls have been entering the Games for generations at this point, there are usually...expectations for them. That is, to separate themselves as much as they can from their gender. Playing into femininity is for One and Four--all Two needs is for their tributes to be brutal. Anything more is simply unnecessary. And yet, Saga's refusal to comply with this ideal puts her at odds with her District. She wears dresses that One girls would envy, vies for charm and fun instead of the usual indifference that girls from her District bring. The worst part of the Arena, however, is that there are no proper weapons. The Careers find ways to get things done, of course--Saga opts to use perfume bottles to disorient her opponents, and a hair dryer to deliver the killing blow. The Careers split just before the final 10, with Arkose being taken out by another one of their allies. Saga ends up winning, of course, having seven kills to her name. She is a highly controversial Victor. The Capitol is fond of her, but her District absolutely isn't. Her family ends up cutting her off, which Saga is honestly relieved about because she doesn't really like any of them anyways. However, Saga's Victory changes things; being feminine in the Virtus Institute becomes less of a social faux-pas. Sadly, this also offers the Capitol a brand new avenue of exploiting Victors from the Masonry District...

[radiogenius]

This comes into play with Delaneira Holman. Delaneira is what some may refer to as an average tribute from Two. She isn't from the quarries, but her family isn't exactly on the Vespertine level, either. They sit somewhere on the middle, just rich enough to not be scorned like the quarry workers but just poor enough to be treated differently than those in the inner circle of military business. Del's family provides bodyguards and security to the Capitol. Her younger brother leaves a little early in order to fulfill this duty, while Del stays behind to train. Unlike Saga, Del is encouraged to train. Not forced, of course, but encouraged. She does so with pride and not much of a second thought.

Also unlike Saga, Del is pretty widely liked in the Institute. She knows how to avoid social drama, and is patient. She doesn't have many close friends, but she's mostly focused on her studies anyways. Del is good at avoiding any controversial statements. In some ways, she is a blank canvas--and that is exactly what District Two is looking for this year. You see, in recent years, D2 has been suffering a bit. Not terribly, but their last Victor, Anthem (d2m, 128) has inspired a bit of a streak of Two tributes trying very hard to be attention-grabbing. Somebody like Del is a return-to-form, a nice reset to show that Two knows their roots. Del plays the part well. She doesn't get into trouble during training, even though her District partner Legion Fairchild is a bit spunky and makes a few attempts to get her to 'open up'. Frankly, he's a bit annoyed. He and Del weren't close in the early days of training, but they were at least acquaintances, and he thinks seeing her so robotic instead of being her energetic self a little weird. Little does Legion know, Del drinks that 'I can't fail my District' sauce, so she will be as boring and moldable as she has to be until she steps out of the Arena. Saga mentors Del, and it's not a secret that she dislikes the girl. She finds it a ridiculous concept to force their tributes to act lobotimized just to help Two's ego. Especially because, in her opinion, there were other options with much better combative abilities and charm than Delaneira and Legion. It's lucky that they manage to even function as a pair, in her opinion. Del's Arena is...a fucking shitshow. It's highly entertaining for the Capitol, and considered a success, but it is arguably one of the most terrifying Arenas in this era of Panem. You see, it's an oil rig, which is already pretty terrifying--but it has a bit of a Still Wakes the Deep vibe to it, you know? AKA there are like eldritch flesh monsters on the rig. Not fun. Half of the Careers get slaughtered by these flesh monsters early in the Games (including Legion, r.i.p) and although Del is scared as fuck she can't fail her District so she manages to not show it. However, the Arena is still incredibly traumatizing for her--and really, she is less prepared than she thought to kill people. As a result, she ends up dissociating and kind of just killing whatever moves without remorse...

[radiogenius]

That is, until right when she is lifted from the Arena. Suddenly, everything kind of just hits, and she's a bit of a mess for a while. Saga is honestly a bit flabbergasted that Del made it, and she keeps her distance for a bit while Del recovers from the trauma, offering only minor support when necessary. The good news is that the Capitol probably won't have much interest in her--they cared about the Arena far more than the Victor this year, and Del was literally engineered to be boring. This is not the case. Instead, the Capitol likes what they see even more than the usual Career Victor. A perfect product, made to be molded. Del's Victory Tour is brutal because of this, with a lot more...creepy Capitol stuff than the average Victor receives. Although she promised Legion again and again that she would go back to being 'normal' after the Games, she is now trapped as a plaything. I definitely imagine that she has this terrifying moment of 'it doesn't matter that I'm a Victor, all that matters is that I'm a woman.' During her Victory Tour, Saga's cold front breaks. She watches Del lose her mind. As much as she tries to go back to that blank space of her brain that helped her survive the Arena, the horror of her situation simply refuses to fade. Her family is supportive, but not exactly comprehending of her precarious position, too focused on their pride for their daughter. Besides, Saga can't help but feel partially responsible for bringing this upon Del. Over the course of the Victory Tour, they form a stronger bond, until they're possibly the closest Victors in all of Two. Afterwards, they are rarely seen apart--the serpent and her loyal guard dog. Thankfully, this connection and the way the Capitol immediately obsesses over it has other benefits, as well. Saga faces less scrutinization from her District when they see that she is caring for Delaneira. Delaneira finally has a support system that is willing to listen, and Capitolites are less interested in preying on her, more fascinated by the strange link formed between her and Saga. They become close friends, and a formidable mentoring pair, bringing home multiple successful Victories with little trouble. If you're still reading, thank you !! I love chatting abt my lore. If you wanna hear anything else about these two (or have any other questions abt my THG aus), feel free to pop into my askbox! :3 Del and Saga are very close to my heart and they're def one of my favorite Victor duos to think about. Perhaps I will draw them soon 🤔

FUCK someone already asked about biting of oneself and now ive opened your askbox i cant see what else has been asked about. ask game tell me abt a wip that hasnt been asked about pls ^_^

umm hmm i didnt technically list this BUT its coming up in the future so it could be fun to know abt...i have a d1 fic planned with a few small bits written for it called love is gossamer!! it takes place during year 176 (so yes, the year right after never the hook). it follows crystalline and prospero, two careers who also happen to be close friends. unfortunately they're both gay which is kind of a huge no no in my district 1 (which is inspired by the victorian/edwardian eras of britain so likeeeee its not Great) and because of that (and the pressure to marry before going into the games in d1 just to not bring shame to your family) they decide to lavender marriage it up!! #slay. they both choose to go into the games the same year because if theyre going to die they would rather it be the other than some random mfer they dont know. im really excited to write about it more!!

[radiogenius]

for the ask game: anything you can share about biting of oneself? eyes emoji... any snippets or perhaps a vibes based teaser.. . eyes emoji ^_^

i chatted a bit about BoO in a previous post BUT the vibes are very snakey...sss...we get snakey up in here...and things are themed around colors for no reason at all :3 as well as like. perspective in the past vs present etc.

snippet!!: (from the first chapter)

There is a mysterious guiding thread that carries people through life. This is the superstition of the people of Eight, anyways. Every event, for the better or the worse, is predestined. In this way, control is granted to those who allow themselves to be led along. They flow with the changes in their life, as carefree as the canals which crisscross their District. There is an easy acceptance in their bones—certain that they couldn’t have done anything to prevent the bad, and the good was always meant to come. 

The Xiomaras do not subscribe to this concept. Or at least, the ones who remain don’t. Then again, there isn’t much time for them to contemplate on such things. Especially when they’re rummaging through the trash.

Or at least, Vachel is. As with most things in their life, he has forbidden his younger siblings from participating in this nightly ritual. Instead, Vega and Vaughn are forced to stand right next to the dumpster as he carefully picks his way through.
