20s, she/they pronouns
This is my ao3 blog! My ao3 is st4rgir2! My dms and asks are always open to chit chat! I use this account mainly to promote my fan fiction and post my mediations on the hunger games & such. Also some giggles here and there
Blog Index :)
I mostly write for the hunger games because one aspect of fan fiction I have really come to enjoy is world building and in canon thg so much is left unsaid my mind wanders and wonders. I try to make my head canons accurate, but I also enjoy reading fics with hcs different (or opposite) of my own.
I will post updates here, with vibes mood boards bc I can. Currently right now I am working on:
The Tree Remembers the Axe, a Johanna Mason-centric fanfic. I flip our assumption of Johanna on its head here, and beckon the question of what if her weakling act wasn't an act at all in her games! (coming out actively!)
The Stalk Yields to the Scythe, about an oc named Mazie Barnette from D9 who won Titus' games. (Coming out actively!)
The Lamb Watched the Knife, about another oc named Harlee Augilar from D10. Explores how oppression and violence effect even the ‘strongest among us’ and force them into innate complaince. (coming out actively!)
Victor Vignettes, shorter works that follow other victors through time before their games, in their games, their life as a victor, and then the 3rd QQ/victors purge. (Coming out now!!)
I fundamentally view thg as an anti-war story about trauma, so my fics do tend to be a bit dark. Literary catharsis blah blah blah. Here are some topics I discuss that might mean my fics aren't for you (and that's okay!!!!) I am not going to yuck anyone's yum that is how they write their fics, please do not do that to mine!
TWs to keep in mind (I do my best to label them in the notes at the top of each chapter!):
Internalized homophobia is integral to my story about Johanna as I use it as a barometer for her rebellion and opposition to Panem. My personal experience can be found here! And my thoughts on homophobia in panem can be found here!
Cannibalism! Particularly in regards to what I am working on with my Mazie Barnette (D9 Victor) fic! It is referenced occasionally in my other fics as well.
Talk of suicide, self harm, and unhealthy coping mechanisms
Specifically and outright with Mazie, eating disorders!! She witnesses cannibalism in her games and it fucks her up. (There is an arc of recovery, and discussion is centered around her lack of appetite being a direct product of her games not something she is willfully doing to herself! BUT WARNING ALL THE SAME!)
Obv. gore and violence typical for thg! I have a very detailed memory and have endured quite the injury in my years. There is also morbid curiosity. I do not shy away from borderline or outright body horror!
Forced prostitution of victors is also a Large part of my fics. I do not write explicit rape scenes, but they are referenced.
I am quite new to Tumblr and fan fiction as a whole (late bloomer I suppose, lol). I am also not a trained writer, this is all a funny hobby I have picked up after completing undergrad :)
Back to my reading of thg as fundamentally anti-war: my fics are not going to have the "traditional" happy ending, if a happy ending at all. Because, in war, rarely are there such endings.
There are many, many fics that do this already! And I am by no means dissing them whatsoever! I very much enjoy reading them, but there is a gap in the fics of the opposite.
I may still write "happier" or straight up happy, fluff alternative endings if there proves to be demand. From others or myself. :P
Once again, dms and asks are always open! Especially if you read me just being a yapatron. I love chit chatting about head canons on anything thg related and love reading fics with some deep lore.
k thanks byeee ✮⋆˙
