The KPDH x THG AU has me gnawing at the bars of my enclosure GRRRRR GRRR it sounds AMAZING!!!
Side note: Ik for a fact Celine lost 5 years off her lifespan when she saw Rumi’s super mega hell arena. Celine cannot catch a break even when she’s only indirectly facing The Horrors
HEHEHEHE THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!! i ADOREEEE the hunger games and obvs kpdh so it was only like. a matter of time before i smashed those two together BAHAHAHA
dude celine is NOT doing well in this AU like. at all. she's spent her entire life post-games training rumi in preparation, was DESPERATELY hoping that rumi would never need to use it, and then boom! 65th hunger games! ryu rumi age 15 reaped!
she's already having the worst time of her life having to mentor her not-daughter (this responsibility largely falls onto jinu actually! victor of the 64th games!) and is busy drinking herself nearly to death for the first day and a half, but then she gets it the fuck together and starts throwing her all in to make sure rumi has the best chance of survival
there is unfortunately only So Much you can do when the arena is the biggest threat
quite frankly i think celine sees that arena, LITERALLY super mega hell, and instantly considers ending it all
fun fact though! rumi only survives her pod-laden arena because of jinu! jinu's arena was FULL of pods (his arena was the test round for the 65th games!) and him telling rumi about it is what leads her to figuring out Her arena! everyone say thank you jinu for surviving 200 mutt scorpion attacks!
the main difference between rumi's arena and jinu's arena in terms of pods is that the pods in jinu's arena usually released mutts. the pods in rumi's arena are more or less awful death traps and are rarely living ("living") creatures
here's my 3 minute iteration of rumi's fucked up evil arena :}
