When the cannon fires, he’ll run to the Cornucopia and grab whatever he can, however he can. Meanwhile, Symmetry will retreat to a safe distance to scout out their best chance for an easy escape or somewhere to hide. When they’d made this plan, Vex had imagined an arena of hills and trees that would provide shelter and plenty of cover, not this windswept expanse, the red-ochre streaked dunes extending out all around them.

There’s no time to change their plan now. Looking around the ring he can see Symmetry, her jaw set and hands coiled into fists. There’s nothing either of them can do. Suspended in agony, they wait, tense, until a hidden cannon fires and a blast of trumpets play three harmonized notes. 

The 77th Hunger Games have begun.

May the odds be ever in Yaoi favour... Wait what

Jokes aside, that's literally what happened while reassembling text over here in the middle. Kevo covered "Your" in such way that it was being read as "Yaoi", ahem

ANYWAY say hi to Scalar Sygni (top left corner, red haired woman, by @sygni) and Kevo Hughes (down right corner, in pink clothing, by @linkito) URGH THEM

Say hi to those 2 and our main duo as of now and RUN read chapter 5 of @uhohbestie of hunger games AU!!

>>> CHAPTER 5 <<<

Funsies under the cut::: (as usual:::)

I've wanted to draw Hugo and Scalar for SO long and it seemed to be a perfect opportunity to FINALLY to draw those 2... I loved them I loved their dialogues I loved their characters... I didn't love how easily I got attached to them tho. But hey at least now we have some cool art!!

Separated arts coming right up:

Oh right, the main event of chapter 5.

Be right back, lemme cook something up-

Here. Scott's design was AMAZING thank you so much Lock, it was a DELIGHT to just throw all of my fancy brushes in one place to bring him to life

And of course... Her, the QUEEN of Hart's, I had to add a dumbass bow on top of her girly girl head as well. She's 100% mad only cuz of that stupid bow.

i've fallen into an impossible love!

[charleston-yappa]

This took way too long so I don't particularly like the comic anymore but I think Grian would have needed a good huh after all that emotional stuff hehehehe

[ender-cloud]

I love the Idea that Secret Life Scar set up some bee hives as a hope to have some kind of company in his isolation, even if it is just a bug, they are probably very precious to him because he knows for sure they wont leave him alone

Farm animals are too temporary, theres no village or villagers so there is no way to get a cat, and he detinitely has some dog trauma as they costed him a good amount of his hearts, so bee's are some of the only things that he can hang onto without worrying about them dying, as long as he can provide for them

Not only that, but they help with the sun flowers! It's both a practical thing and it allows him to not be as alone anymore! It’s a win win

[vexcathedral]

There are so many wonderful and entertaining dynamics where Scar gets to be as chaotic as he pleases while the other person yells at him in disbelief. Funny man ー Straight man (also knows as boke-tsukkomi, for weebs like I am) is a proven comedy duo formula that works, and works well.

Which is why it upsets me when people try to push Cub and Scar in this box. Because Cub presents you with a dynamic that hasn't been explored before: what if you thought everything Scar Goodtimes does was fucking awesome. What if you were completely down to get into any and all trouble with him without a single question asked.

What if Hotguy were the sexiest man alive. Well, he is, obviously, and Cub is gonna collect all merch of him that exists, and give him a dedicated corner in the museum, and outbid everyone for the Hotguy painting auction. Because Hotguy just makes him feel a special sort of way, you see.

What if the magic crystals were actually real. And they are. They possess secret, powerful capabilities no one can begin to understand. They bend time and space. You should totally visit the wizard in the jungle and buy everything in stock. Cub did that and Cub absolutely does not regret it.

Scar wants to abuse his authority as the POE, blowing up all shops that he deems unworthy? He should do that. Here are some TNT blocks.

Scar wants to burn down the s11 map, despite the hard work of the firefighters? He should do that. Here is a flint and steel.

I can keep going for eternity. Cub loves crazy. Cub IS crazy, he is Scar's wonderful mad scientist friend who he is a little scared of. Just because he knows how hard Cub can go. Every hermit knows how hard Cub can go. Cleo thinks Cub is the scariest hermit (despite being able to handle him herself pretty well). Doc, despite his evil theatrics, doesn't dare to mess with Cub. Cub can destroy entire Minecraft ecosystems in seconds just because he thought it would be funny. He is not no-nonsence, he is all nonsence.

And he loves his friends so much! Including Scar, especially Scar! He is an incredibly involved hermit who is always ready to help people and participate in community projects. He often laughs at Scar's jokes when no one else does. He always treats Scar with respect, seeing him as an incredible strong and capable individual. And he gets so, so worried when there is even a tiny implication that Scar might actually be in trouble.

TL;DR: Cubfan135 is the silliest man alive who is deeply enamored with everything Scar does and you should treat him as such

This part, at least, Vex is familiar with. The interviews—hosted by the renowned Scott Smajor—are an institution of their own, almost as anticipated an event as the Hunger Games itself. Brought up on stage, dressed in their stylist’s finest, and broadcast live, the event will be the tribute’s one and only chance to present themselves before the Capitol before they’re swallowed up by the arena. It’s during the interviews that tributes best catch the eyes of the sponsors—Capitolites with deep pockets, who will pay to send their favourites advantages into the arena.

Some of Vex’s earliest memories are of watching the tribute interviews. Too young to understand the gravity of the situation, he’d been captivated by the pageantry, the lights, the costumes, and the witty banter. Everyone on stage seemed delighted to be there, laughing and smiling from ear to ear, twirling to show off their outfits, and speaking highly of both the Games and the Capitol. 

As he’d grown older, the novelty of the showcase hadn’t diminished, but more and more he’d begun wondering how much of the broadcast was scripted and edited before it was broadcast out across the nation.

Now, he can say with confidence that the answer is: a lot.
