three more “realistic” arena ideas, but these arenas are featured in my fic, fame is a gun! one of these are mentioned in the original trilogy, but the others are entirely original!

1. A barren, snowy wasteland (67th Games). the tributes start in a clearing in the middle of the arena, with various paths to make their escape after the bloodbath. it constantly snows, and while there are supplies to start fires in the cornucopia, it’s impossible to keep a fire going because of the conditions. most tributes die of the cold, rather than combat. the games end with a final, stiff showdown between the boys from seven and one. the boy from one is the eventual victor

2. A rocky mountain range (52nd Games). the tributes start in a clearing at the halfway point of the mountain. there are various caves and tunnels for the tributes to travel through and hide in, but the caves are infested with bat mutts. the only way to ward the bats off is with fire, which they are scared of. the boy from district five won the games after a final showdown with the boy from two

3. Open, grassy fields (66th Games). the only clearing in the arena is the small clearing the cornucopia sits in, everything else is covered in tall grass of varying colors and heights, ranging from 2 feet to well over 6 feet tall. there were holes for tributes to hide in, but they proved to be dangerous when tributes began to fall into them. rat mutts were a large feature, and the boy from district 4 was the first and most brutal mutt death of the year

i mentioned in my d4 wedding headcanons post that i rlly like the idea that the song sung at finnick and annie’s wedding is based off an an old folk story, which i just incorporated into the most recent chapter of fame is a gun!

below the cut is that short story, told from the perspective of the fics main character, angel lowery! i really love how this turned out and i hope whoever reads it likes it to!

A snippet from Chapter 8 of Fame is a Gun.

“I've never admitted this out loud to anyone but my girls, but this love story is one of my favorites, second only to my parents' love story. Growing up, my mom told it to me as a bedtime story, and two years ago, my class reviewed it for an assignment. It's been written down plenty of times, but the ending has changed over the years. The rest of the story has stayed largely the same.

There was once a poor boy who was madly in love with a wealthy girl, and she too was deeply in love with him. They had to keep their relationship secret, since the girl's family demanded that she marry within her means. For years, she rejected multiple advances from wealthy suitors, but her parents eventually grew tired and arranged for her to be married to a suitor who they approved. After hearing the news of her future marriage, the girl fell into a deep depression and cried her grievances to the sky and stars.

The boy, upon hearing of his lover's future, went to the beach. He sang his grievances to the ocean, explaining that he wasn't just upset that he was losing his lover, but because she was unhappy. To his surprise, the ocean spoke back. After listening to the boy, the ocean came up with a plan to help save the pair. The ocean told the boy to bring the girl to the beach on the next full moon and it would provide a way for them to be together. The boy listened to the ocean, and a few nights later under the light of a full moon, he brought the girl to the beach.

When they arrived, the ocean asked the boy if he truly loved the girl. The boy declared his love for the girl just as passionately as he had the first time at the beach. The ocean asked the girl if she truly loved the boy, and she declared her love as passionately as she had when she cried to the stars. The ocean, now knowing that their love is true, created a net woven from seagrass, which would keep them hidden from prying eyes. The net proved itself to work when a group of guards passed the lovers as they kissed on the beach and paid them no mind as if they weren't there.

The story typically ends with the couple running away to a different town where they'd both be unrecognizable, but how they get there changes depending on who's telling the story. Sometimes the pair sneak onto a ship and sail away, other times the sky sends a cloud to carry the two off. Either way, it doesn't matter, because the couple were together and stayed together for the rest of their lives.

How Iris learned any of this and incorporated it into my dress is beyond me. I step closer to the mirror, spread the skirt out. There's panels of the girl crying to the stars, the boy singing to the ocean, the pair hidden under the net. I drop the skirt, not wanting to look at it for any longer.”

a few “realistic” arena ideas bc i keep seeing the most ROTTED arena ideas online… guys the arenas are specified as an enclosed outdoor area they’re not throwing the tributes into a mall or dressing them up as clowns (both of these are real things ive seen suggested)

salt plains. a less disorienting/“improved” environment similar to wiress’ arena. the games start with a thin layer of water on the plains to further disorient tributes. water that lands on the ground generally becomes undrinkable since the ground is made of salt, forcing tributes to rely on what little rainwater they can collect or sponsor gifts. while the arena is nearly entirely flat, there are still pockets for tributes to hide in. mutts could potentially be some vicious mosquitos or frilled lizards

savannah featuring a small mountain. a large, grassy plains with sparse trees and plenty of mutts. while most are docile to an extent (zebras, birds, impala), there are still predators roaming around. the mountain provides shelter, but is still a risk. a few watering holes dot the landscape, but to drink from them would leave tributes in the open and at risk of being attacked.

tropical rainforest. tributes start in a small clearing surrounding the cornucopia to encourage a bloodbath, but everything past that clearing is a dense rainforest. when tributes stray too far from another tribute, snake or bird mutts are sent after them to encourage fights among the foliage. poisonous frogs are easy to find, though actual food is not. a river snakes through the arena to provide drinking water, but who knows what might be living in it?

these are just a handful that i’ve come up with at work while hammering out the next chapter of fame is a gun! these are free to use for thg ocs since i don’t think ill ever use them lol
