Heddle!

Okkk that was the District 8 girl from the 74th Hunger Games, you said

I don’t have many headcanons about her(now that i think about it i don’t have a lot of headcanons in general i should think of some) but I reckon she was about fourteen-fifteen? I don’t remember if the book specified that. I liked her appearance in the movie, and I’ve always liked D8 so it was sad for me when she died </3 I really love the name you came up with her lol it’s related to her district but sounds like an actual name(I’m looking at some of the names in SOTR…) and it suits her!

Katniss thought she was ‘stupid’ for making that fire, which I agree wasn’t the smartest decision on her part. To be fair thinking rationally would be difficult when you’re freezing and terrified. And listen I’m all for defending Careers(you know that already lol) but I really hated the way they killed her especially in the book. Poor girl suffered for minutes before Peeta had to finish her :( I can imagine how traumatic it must have been for both of them..

Overall, she deserved better & I would have loved to know more about her(like 85% of all thg characters)

Bobbin

Okay it’s been a while since i read TBOSAS but I’ll try

He didn’t deserve anything he got </3 Trying to kill Snow was completely justified from his POV, honestly that in itself could be seen as a form of rebellion since the Capitol could bring on something worse for him if he succeeded in killing a student. I’m not sure if it was confirmed in the book that he was aware that Snow and Sej were from the Capitol, he could have mistook them for tributes but I doubt that since I think they were also carrying Marcus if I remember correctly? And yeah it probably wasn’t a rebellion inside his head, more of an instantaneous thing since he had a weapon and his opponents didn’t. Also ofc he was angry at the Capitol, they all were, and he probably already thought he was dead anyway so trying to kill Snow was like, the least he could do. No doubt a lot of the tributes including him were getting desperate. Also his death was so tragic and must’ve been so painful, he was just a kid like the rest of them, and i remember Snow trying to justify his death in the aftermath was sickening to read.

That was the book, i think, and in the movie they didn’t change much I’m pretty sure. I headcanon that he lost his arm while working in one of the factories, and having to go into the Games on top of that is just even more heartbreaking. He did look similar to how I originally imagined him and he was sweet with Wovey. I do think he’s an underrated character, not just by himself but also in how he affects Snow, officially becoming the first kill in his infamous three kills. I just went and reread that part and Snow is definitely more focused on the fact that he is now a murderer who lost his innocence, rather than on the boy he actually murdered. That honestly says a lot(but who didn’t know that right) and the kill does haunt him in the future, and Bobbin did have an effect in Snow’s mind, in a way changing how he views the Games and the tributes/districts forever. To Snow, Bobbin was barbaric and almost feral, which he interpreted as lack of control(but really showed the desperation, fear, and anger of the tributes once they’d been thrown into the terrifying arena), and I do think that helped him in his own crooked mind to dehumanize the districts even further. Also shows how little sympathy(for lack of a better word) he has for the tributes because(i just looked it back up in the book) after he finds out that he ‘underestimated how much they hate us[the Capitol]’, instead of going oh that’s probably because we’re making them kill each other you know I’d probably feel the same way if i were them he says that he wants them dead. And Dr. Gaul’s like well you did just that and he’s not remorseful, not really. Maybe I’m being too harsh but then again also probably not

Overall, Bobbin is an underrated character with a lot of overlooked impact <3

Send me an ask of a random thg character to yap about

I should be sleeping but alas

[worsegamestoplayx]

It’s even better people are calling Haysilee shippers pedophiles for writing smut fics of them together mind you there’s Haydove smut as well

Oh my goodness no way

I feel like it’s so unfair to call people pedophiles for writing ANY kind of fictional smut. If it was about real children, then that’d be a problem(in my opinion), but fictional characters? Really? Especially just because they hate the ship… that’s just hateful. Also mind you, REAL pedophiles that prey on REAL children exist, and putting smut writers in that category is really unfair. Most fic writers(I believe) know how to tell the difference between reality and fiction, and they’re just trying to share their work with you—let them be 😭

But yeah I guess the original point was about the ship wars—which is so stupid like hello?? It’s obviously fine to really really like a ship, but you gotta understand that there are other people that also really really like a ship that may not go hand in hand with yours. Look at content you don’t like, roll your eyes if you want, and then just… i don’t know maybe move on?? Atrocious I know. Block tags, filter searches, etc. etc. If you feel like your ship doesn’t have much content compared to the ones you dislike, make some yourself! Also like the og ask said, please for the love of this world don’t be hypocritical. It’s totally fine to not like smut(I don’t either), but why would you harass the writers for writing something that doesn’t align with your ship, especially if the writers of your ship are doing it too??

I’m so tired of wars in this fandom—is it really that hard to grasp the idea of ‘don’t like don’t read/consume’??

[worsegamestoplayx]

I keep seeing Hunger Games references when im studying Roman history and for some reason my brain likes to imagine the characters when it’s distracted 😭

[worsegamestoplayx]

People calling Haysilee incest is so weird and objectively ignorant

[worsegamestoplayx]

I personally find the ‘who did this to you’ trope half cute and half overdone/cliché, but it would be so funny if it was applied to clato like:

cato: who did this to you?

clove: you did. like 20 minutes ago

cato: oh

clove: it’s ok i asked you to

cato: …

clove: it was hot

cato:

clove: can you do it again

[worsegamestoplayx]

I changed my name

[worsegamestoplayx]

does anyone have thg fanart requests

[worsegamestoplayx]

I finally drew something good

Well it’s good if you ignore certain things

Surprise surprise it’s clato

The sword is his she just stole it

Inspired by a pic from a Cruel Prince cosplay I think

This is pretty much how I see them in my head lol kind of book and movie combined(the outfits in this one are somewhat book accurate)

They’re so cute I can’t

Help why tf is it so blurry I thought that was a myth

[worsegamestoplayx]

Okay here’s another fun question

Which thg ship would you be happy to third wheel and why

[worsegamestoplayx]

Question for fellow thg fanfic writers

I’m currently writing about district two and just like how in Twelve they call the lower-class part of the district the “Seam” I thought I could do something like that for Two as well and the idea I had is: since D2 kind of holds ancient Rome in their core(idk how to word this lol) I could call the working class/lower class of the district the Plebs and the more in control/wealthy population(which i headcanon to be a lot smaller relatively than other districts think) the Patricians based on Roman history

Would that make sense or is it a bit of a reach

Also I’m extremely open to other ways to divide class in this district or just headcanons about it in general actually

[worsegamestoplayx]

Oh dear i haven’t drawn anything decent in months

[worsegamestoplayx]

I honestly really like the idea of the Covey in THG, I think it’s realistic that a group of people that just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and came from who knows where got rounded up by the Capitol and forced to live in 12(is that how it happened I didn’t check the books before making this post). I love the fact that they use the arts to express themselves and sometimes as a form of rebellion against the oppressive government. Them being like a close knit family is also cute, and I find the names so pretty too. But one thing I’ll say is that it is getting a little boring having them related to basically every single thing going on in that universe, like TBOSAS and Snowbaird was fine, it was actually really good in my opinion; then SOTR felt a little overdone, I feel like mentioning the Covey and how they sort of evolved(for lack of a better word) years after the 10th Games would have been all right. But it kind of seemed like they were only there for the parallels and didn’t add much to the plot(which I am only realizing now). Don’t get me wrong I think they’re wonderful but like a lot of things they should have been expanded upon a little more in SOTR. Hey I might write fanfiction about them now lol

[worsegamestoplayx]

What do you think of ouabh?

I’m so sorry this took so long to answer i had it saved as a draft and totally forgot about it 😭

oh my goodness it's so good

Most booktok books aren't worth the hype for me but this series definitely is

I absolutely adore Stephanie Garber's writing style and her worldbuilding!! Definitely one of the best fantasy authors out there—and the characters are so well written and I love the whole whimsy of it so much

LOVED Jacks and Eva’s chemistry, it was adorable but it got really angsty at times(which made me like it better tbh) and the second book distressed me a little 🙏 i thought I didn’t like these types of books but this series made me realize otherwise

I thought the antagonistic characters were also interesting(Apollo, Aurora, etc.) and well written which was fresh

Slowest burn I’ve ever come across but it was worth it lmao I’ll definitely be rereading the whole thing soon

Thanks for the ask <33 I’d love to talk more about this series lol

[worsegamestoplayx]

Saw something where they’re shipping an author with a serial killer and because I’m insufferable I started thinking about a clato au right away but idk who’d be who lol so yea im making a poll i guess

Who’d be what

author clove, serial killer cato

author cato, serial killer clove

Voting ended onJun 12

I honestly could fw both so

Wait let me know if there’s another thg ship that would fit this dynamic better tho

[worsegamestoplayx]

My current reading motivation is to finish all the books I’m in the middle of so I can start rereading TBOSAS for like the twentieth time
