I love how the tributes were tearing down the capitol and giving it a bad review in I didn't think I'd care, I also love the detail of Apollo looking strangely when Otto told him he doesn't have time to read, while the ring twins might have been one of the more involved mentors i can see them still being disconnected to the districts suffering and to how horrid the situation is and I personally headcanon that Otto and ginnee were frustrated with the twins telling them to perform and they didn't trust the twins because even if they were nicer than most of the other mentors they are still capitol and would be disconnected I believe the same for lots of the nicer mentors besides maybe Lissie and definitely sejanus, loved the chapter 👍😊

Service was shit lmao, they get to be salty about it. I’m so glad everyone seems to enjoy the drawn out reviewer joke cuz it was very fun to come up with complaints.

Idk if Apollo and Diana asked them to dance or if they only started to hype up the crowd after, but either way they’re Capitol citizens. They’re gonna be out of touch and all their attempts at being nice or getting to know their tributes are gonna be a little wonky because of it. The only mentor who isn’t in any way out of touch is Sejanus, because he lived through the district life and I absolutely believe he tried as much as possible to keep up with how the districts are doing. Probably at least partially out of guilt for being free of all the stuff the districts are being put through. Yes, even Lysistrata is out of touch. There’s no way for her not to be. It’s actually part of how I plan to redeem Snow (unless I kill him off, not sure yet). In the books he genuinely believes he overcame his issues in a way the districts could too if they worked hard enough and a big part of his epiphany will be realizing that he’s privileged despite his hard childhood. Him being Capitol is a big part of his success, and he’s gonna realize that. Or die.

This chapter was actually gonna be Treech but then Brandy took over and I think I’m gonna make a mashup chapter of several tributes and mentors first and then get back to disproving Pup’s delusions lmao.

I want to give some love to the background tributes so starting with otto and ginnee I have read in a comment that in the book they performed a dance from district 6 that got them fed in the zoo now I have no idea what would the dancing style be like in district 6 so I Drew them for when they finished it and are waiting to see if being performing monkeys to their oppressors would save them from starving to death hope I nailed the fake smiles

● Ginnee was a dancer back in 6

● sheaf was very flexible, and if it was a modern au I bet her and ginnee would be really good friends :]

naming in songbirds and snakes

authors note: it is 1 am and this is unbataed, apologies for any spelling or grammar errors.

the hunger games is known for its outrageous, futuristic names; one of my favorite pieces of the series. this post does a beautiful job analyzing the names that appear in the original trilogy and categorizing them into 4 different categories. but that post is a little old and we’ve just recently got a lot more content (and names) to pick apart and analyze.

researching these names reminds me how everything suzanne includes in her novels is intentional. she doesn’t pick random names because they sound good but because they mean something. i think that’s important to remember while reading this series. it’s definitely something i will keep in mind during my next reread of the trilogy.

i didn’t cover every name in tbosas. if there’s a name you have thoughts about, reblog and let me know.

potential tbosas spoilers and long post under the cut

names will be divided into capitol and tribute (district) names

capitol

capitol names take many influences from ancient roman and greek names, but they also tell the story of the character. i will only be discussing major characters, not all will be mentioned.

coriolanus: snow’s first name largely has to do with his story. from the play coriolanus by shakespeare, meaning “conqueror of corioli,” a heroic roman solider, caius marcius, gains his name from a victory at corioli. when he leads the attack on corioli, it does not go well. but he keeps fighting and returns to rome victorious. he brings glory to rome and his mother volumnia. basically summing up his whole story. he tries to lead an ‘attack’ (him trying to win the games) but that fails. he’s reduced to a peacekeeper but he still doesn’t stop trying to be something greater. he wins in the end. he goes back to the capitol, attends university and is mentored dr. gaul.

which brings me to...

dr. volumnia gaul: dr. gaul’s name has two parts. one representing her relationship with snow. the other representing her relationship with panem. volumnia is the mother of caius marcus in shakespeare’s play, coriolanus. volumnia, in the play, uses caius as a means of securing personal prestige aka using snow’s ideas in her games. she wants her games to be better, the best. and she uses snow for that. gaul was also a roman province that embarrassed rome (read: gual’s games not being popular, things going wrong, etc.). but unlike gual, dr. gual was not stop/conquered by panem/rome.

sejanus plinth: sejanus was a close friend and ally of roman emperor tiberius who worked to improve conditions for the empire. he was also strangled to death. sejanus plinth was unable to change anything before his death by hanging. a plinth can be looked at in two different ways. @hutchhitched described it as a platform—a place someone can take a stand and deliver a message. it can also be looked at as a means for climbing. social climbing, if you will. the main ambition of the plinths.

strabo plinth: a wealthy philosopher who allied with the romans and was granted roman citizenship as a reward. seems familiar? plinth: see sejanus.

crassus snow: crassus was a roman general who played a key role in the transformation of the roman republic into the roman empire. just like his namesake, crassus snow was known for his military experience and wrote the proposal for the hunger games, successfully transforming panem into what we know today.

tributes

typically, tributes have names that reflect the industry of their district. there are a few exceptions to this; including sabine, ginnee, jessup and lucy gray baird.

district one

one of the wealthier districts in panem, district one is responsible for producing luxury items, such as jewelry, for the capitol.

male tribute: facet, literally meaning “one side of something many-sided, especially of a cut gem” suggest gemstone that is placed into jewelry but he is merely a part of the captiols larger plan.

female tribute: velvereen, derived from velveteen, meaning “a cotton fabric with a pile resembling velvet.”

district two

another wealthy district, district two is the home of the nation’s quarries and masonry workers. also recruits and trains peacekeepers and produces weapons for their use.

male tribute: marcus, derived from malleus, latin meaning “hammer.” the main tool of a masonry worker.

female tribute: sabyn, derived from sabine, italic tribe located near the tiber river. captured and raped by the romans. parallel to her current situation of being captured by the capitol.

district three

one of the poorer districrs. responsible for technology, district theee manufactures televisions, computers and other electronics. citizens of this district are very adept at engineering.

male tribute: circ, derived from circuit, something which an electric current can flow; used in electronics.

female tribute: teslee, possibly derived from tesla, an inventor and engineer.

district four

it’s major industry is fishing, trains citizens at a young age for their industry.

male tribute: mizzen, literally a part of a ships mast aka ships used for fishing.

female tribute: coral, do i have to explain this one? marine invertebrates that live in the ocean.

district five

it’s main industry is power and electricity.

male tribute: hy, possibly derived from hydroelectric, alluding to the hydroelectric dam that produces power for panem.

female tribute: sol, derived from solis, latin for sun. another producer of power.

district six

responsible for transportation.

male tribute: otto, variation of auto derived from automobile. a form of transportation

female tribute: ginnee, meaning “pure” a reminder that these are innocent children.

district seven

main industry is lumber

male tribute: treech, possibly a styilization of tree, the source of lumber

female tribute: lamina, the blade of a leaf, something trees have ;)

district eight

the textile makers

male tribute: bobbin, a spindle which thread is wound. typically found on sewing machines

female tribute: wovey, possibly derived from woven because textiles are, woven.

district nine

responsible for grain production

male tribute: panlo, derived from pan, meaning bread in spanish. bread is made from grain.

female tribute: sheaf, literally meaning “a bundle of grain stalks.”

district ten

the cattle ranchers of panem

male tribute: tanner, from the verb to tan, meaning “convert animal skin into leather”

female tribute: brandy, a brand is “an identifying mark burned on livestock”

district eleven

agriculture!

male tribute: reaper, to reap, meaning “to cut or gather a crop or harvest”

female tribute: dill, an herb. that you grow

district twelve

the coal miners

male tribute: jessup, derived from hebrew “yosef.” interestingly this is only the second name derived from hebrew within thg. second to johanna. could also be a reference to jessup, nevada; a mining area.

female tribute: lucy grey baird, she explains her own name. baird meaning poet or minstrel.

Any Otto and ginnee thoughts? Bec I have been coming up with a few of mine ginnee is becoming one of my favorite background tributes even if she never made it to the games in neither the book or movie

Ginnee

- I love the idea of her being an artist the hat she wore in the movie reminded me of a painter's hat, she loves crafts and writing her own stories she always carries a Note book and pencil with her in case she had a sudden inspiration her family and neighbors love hearing her stories, she has her own small business where she sells bracelets and necklaces she made out of old keys and she always collects things people might consider junk and she creates crafts from it

- she's the youngest in her family and is sometimes teased about it by her siblings she sometimes ignores and sometimes gets angry at it , I see her as being 15 years old

- deeply wishes she can get a cat she's a huge cat lover

- she was horrified at the fact that there were sick children who were reaped and her hatred for the capitol grew more and more from it

-she's indifferent towards the ring twins on the one hand she's glad she and Otto got mentors who are invested in mentoring them and do feed them but on the other hand she can't help but question whether they are doing that out of the kindness of their hearts or so that she and Otto trust them and then they can use them to win the prize

-

I love the idea of Otto and ginnee being childhood friends, they are in the same class in school and hang out when they have free time

Otto

- he works as a mechanic's assistant he had to work since he was 9 because of his parents not being able to work full time due to their physical conditions, he's father has a crippled leg and his mother is blind and there aren't many well paying jobs in district 6 for their circumstances so Otto and he's older sister are the main providers of the family and he has younger twin siblings, Otto wishes he can get to have more free time being a kid as he goes to work immediately after school but he understands that he's family needs him and he accepts the responsibility placed on him

- he doesn't tolerate anyone insulting any of his loved ones anyone who dares doing that well face he's rath, he's very protective of those he cares about

- consider he's childhood toys he's treasurer, it comforts him after a long day to hold one of his childhood toys

- was very mistrustful of the ring twins, he's already deep hatred for the capitol has reached a boiling point and he didn't trust anything the twins do for him and ginnee and was very insulted of the fact that he and ginnee had to dance to get food , despite the twins being nice to him and ginnee he couldn't help feeling mistrustful of them after all they don't understand how terrified and worried he is at the fact that he would have to kill to get home and how he would face ginnee 's family if he did come back to district 6 or how worried he is for he's family how could this two privileged people understand any of the feelings he's going through, he doesn't hate them they were pretty nice to him and ginnee but he doesn't trust them either

Imagine if, while in the zoo, the tributes of the 10th hunger games had spent their time bonding and at some point kinda joked about escaping together? And they all thought out exit strategies and such and even the word they’d use as signal to initiate the plans. They discuss who’s good at what, jokingly dividing tasks between them, with Wovey, Bobbin, and Mizzen getting the task of “stay behind us and don’t die” because they’re the youngest. No one really takes it seriously, they just use the fantasy to escape their horrid reality for a second because it’s nice to imagine all of them can make it out alive, even if they know that’s not the case.

Then the arena bombings happen

Otto and Ginnee probably still die, since they died from schrapnel, but Panlo and Sheaf were far enough away to still be conscious and moving around (that last part is mostly because of adrenaline). Everyone’s caught off-guard, but someone (probably Coral) sees their chance and screams the word they discussed, and all tributes jump into action. Jessup and Lucy Gray still save their respective mentors, but because the tributes are working together the peacekeepers have been taken out so there’s no one to drag them away. Instead, all 21 remaining tributes book it as fast as they can and manage to escape the area before reinforcements arrive. They are now on the run, and cannot show their faces without getting shot on sight, but they’re alive and that’s what matters. Mizzen, Sheaf, and Treech are the best thieves of the group (Mizzen’s small and fast (he was just closer to the snakes than everyone else shut up), Sheaf is described as "a limber little girl", and Treech sneakily stole Dill’s water bottles. That’s my evidence. Also they need more love) and thus go out to scrap together anything that may be helpful.

They, being the overachieving badasses they are, get their hands on futuristic medicine to cure Dill’s tuberculosis faster than the real world ever could and help Hy manage his asthma (because it’s chronic, there’s no way they can find a cure for that just lying around even in the future). I say they’re overachieving, because Sheaf did the back handspring for food, Treech only died because of Lucy’s cheating (still getting 6th(movie)/3d(book) place, and he definitely would’ve killed her and been a real contender for the win if she hadn’t cheated), and Mizzen is 13. A 13-year-old got 5th(book)/4th(movie) place. I rest my case.

They use the newfound supplies to heal their wounds and disinfect them, Jessup doesn’t get rabies because I make the rules here, and things are good. They spend a while utilizing their unique skills to stay hidden until one of two things happen:

1) the mentors, who have gotten quite attached to their assigned tributes, fight for the games to be disbanded and rally the rest of the academy, leading to a better Panem where the Capitol and the districts become a functioning, not-dystopian nation again and everything ends well.

Or

2) the tributes manage to escape the capitol and flee into the woods, letting Lucy Grey lead them to the Covey because ain’t no way they can just go back to their own districts just yet. The covey, being nomadic, is the best place for them to stay until they’ve grown up enough to be unrecognizable from their child selves to anyone who doesn’t actually know them.

Either way, things are better. I wanted to share this because I’m sad that all these wonderful (fictional) children died for the amusement of genuine monsters (and those indoctrinated to believe district people are not people)

Edit because a lot of new people are liking this post: someone wrote it :)

@butfilsongs okay thought it over and here’s the fix-it :)!!

Since in this post I said that I think at least some of the peacekeepers that came to grab the tributes during the arena bombing came from outside, I had an idea for how all the tributes could escape from the city.

What if, instead of running for the exit, the district 1 and 2 kids saw the tunnels blasted open and went in there instead? Ginnee and Otto survived by sheer luck of the bombs going off a little earlier, and their mentors were saved by peacekeepers. This works because of a thing @idontliketomatoesleavemealone pointed out about them wearing armor which would protect them at least a little. They are out of it, though, because blows to the head suck. Ginnee and Otto, like Panlo and Sheaf, end up greatly injured and are denied medical care. Here’s where the fun begins (for me at least, if you like Hurt No Comfort this is not for you):

Thanks to the peacekeepers coming in from outside and the tunnels being so much closer than the exit, the four escapee tributes make it out. Sabyn, Velvereen, Facet, and Marcus are on the run. They could try to escape the city and forget all about this, but… those other kids don’t deserve to die, and leaving them to their fate feels… cruel. And also, escaping the city is exactly what the Capitol expects them to do so going along with it makes it more likely for them to be caught. So they get out of the tunnels and figure out where the zoo is. Marcus clearly didn’t disguise himself, but now there are three other kids there to come up with ideas. Facet and Velvereen suggest they try to look more like Capitol kids so it’s more likely people won’t look at them twice. While they’re at it they snag some supplies for short-term disguises and then wait until it’s late to go over to the zoo.

Now, these kids may not have the best mentors (cough cough Livia Cardew cough cough) but they can see some of the others starting to care about their tributes. And these influential nepo-babies are the future of Panem. The four free tributes have had time to think things through, and the last thing they wanna do is hand the Capitol propaganda on a silver platter and turn their only hope of ending the games for good against them. In terms of trying to convince their overlords the tributes are human beings too, killing peacekeepers means they may as well confess to cannibalism and skinning puppies for fun. Also, it would be justification for the Capitol calling this an all hands on deck situation and throw everything into finding the tributes, which is the last thing they need. So the four escapees refrain from brutal murder and instead merely knock out the ones too close to the enclosure for comfort. They take some of the guns, though, because they’re not stupid enough to actually believe their attempts at showing innocence will do anything and they’d rather be armed if it comes down to the worst-case scenario.

Next they break open the zoo enclosure and wake up their fellow district kids inside. Some frantic whispering later and everyone’s awake and ready to leave. The four injured kids and Dill get carried on the backs of the stronger kids for obvious reasons, and off they go. I’ll stop here and consider collecting my ideas for the rest of their shenanigans in this City of Nightmares in a separate post because I have plans.

Yes, it does involve arson. No, Gaul’s lab does not survive. Possibly, neither does she.

That last bit is not entirely on the tributes.

Wouldn’t it be so funny if, after the tributes escape in some way (any of my previous AU’s about this work, or your own idea if you have it so long as Otto and/or Ginnee make it out) they all work together in a quieter part of town to either scavenge parts needed to make a car or they hijack one and then they just… drive away. Switching license plates with another car in case anyone notices. They go in several groups because 24 kids ain’t gonna fit in one go, but since they’re in a capitol car no one even bothers checking them. Why would they? They’re looking for district kids and none of them would be smart enough to think of just snatching a car. That’s what the Capitol thinks if this even occurs to them.

Just had another fix it AU and idk how I didn’t think of this earlier! So you know how the tributes are transported around in cattle cars? Well, Otto and Ginnee probably know at least a little bit about how those were made, right? If not then they had plenty of chances to figure them out. What if, the first night in the zoo, they gather the other tributes and pitch a plan? And all the others gleefully take this chance and start plotting right along.

With an escape route in place, they make sure they have as watertight of a plan as possible. Various little changes happen that lead to none of the tributes dying before, during, or after the bombing. And then finally, the day of the Hunger Games comes. They picked this day because all the peacekeepers will be at the arena. The rest of the city will likely be less secure. Sejanus got them a map of the city so they know where they’ll be going and they know there won’t be peacekeepers behind the cart. As they’re taken to the arena, Otto and Ginnee quietly take apart the floor and the tributes crawl out of the cart one by one, hiding in alleyways as soon as they’re on the ground until everyone is out. Once the cart is out of view they reconvene and book it in the opposite direction. Thanks to their planning they got out in an empty part of the route and have a good amount of time before they’re discovered. Marcus leads them through the underground and by the time anyone notices anything’s amiss the tributes are long gone.

TBOSAS on Crack short take (49)

*When the Mentors lied about their Tributes’ skills on LIVE TV*

Lepidus: Welcome back to the ✨Table Talk✨! I’m your host, Lepidus Malmsey-

Casca: Booooo!

Lepidus: Ugh. Who let Highbottom sit with the audience again?

Felix: Just ignore him.

Lepidus: And why does your school want me to do another round of interviews?

Vipsania: To gain more sponsors-

Gaius: For money.

Hilarius: We love money.

Coryo: I need money.

Sejanus: To proclaim my undying love to my Coryo-

Coryo: Not now, Babe.

Sejanus: But-

Coryo: I’ll give you a kiss if you shut up.

Sejanus: Can you kiss me now-

Casca: Booooo! Get a room-

Felix: Back to you, Malmsey!

Lepidus: Um- okay. So here we are again with our favorite Mentors-

Festus: Yo, Leppy! Leppy, why do I have to wear this stupid paper bag?

Lepidus: It’s Lepidus.😑 And your Class President was the one who asked me to cover your face.

Festus: Why?!😫

Felix: Creed, just wear the bag.

Coryo: That’s what you get after you forced us to bail you out from juvenile jail, Bestie~.😊

Festus: I did nothing wrong-

Coryo: You trespassed and dumpster dived on private property.

Festus: I did not!

Felix: The President of Panem would disagree.

Festus: But I’m not even a fugitive!

Lysistrata: Not yet~.☺️

Festus: But-

Felix: Lepidus, please continue.

Lepidus: So my first question is for-

Livia: Just spit it out, Leppy. We don’t have all day.🙄

Juno: Yeah~. I even have an important appointment with my chiropractor after this.

Lepidus: Fine.😞 What are your Tribute’s strengths and weaknesses?

Livia: Excuse me?! Weaknesses?! That’s incorrect. My new bestie from ✨District One✨ doesn’t have weaknesses.🙄💅

Lepidus: That’s impossible-

Livia: Facet with his tasset can even stop a freaking bullet just by looking at it.

Lepidus: That’s a lie-

Livia: I’ve seen him do it before, Leppy~.

Palmyra: Just one bullet? That’s so lame, Livia. Velvereen the Wolverine can melt bullets and spit acid.😌

Vipsania: Ha! Both of your Tributes are nothing compared to mine. My Tribute, Treech the Leech can suck your blood out in seconds.

Pup: Well, my Tribute, Lamina with her stamina can drown anyone with just her salty tears.

Apollo: Bro, shut up. My Tribute, Otto from the Grotto can kill a grown man with just one punch.

Diana: Just one punch? My Tribute, Ginnee Houdini can turn you all into dust-

Juno: That’s so unoriginal, Ring. My Tribute, Bobby-

Hilarius: Bobbin.

Juno: Bobby Corn Poppy can lift a thousand grown grizzly bears with just one arm!

Hilarius: But my Wovey with just one knee can make you run for your money!

Gaius: You be lying, Hilari! My Tribute, Panlo with his hands low can kick all of your asses!

Androcles: That’s all you’ve got, bro?! My Tribute, Sheaf the Chief can strangle you with her eyes!

Io: Andie, stop with your nonsense! My Tribute, Circ with his quirk can fly you to the moon and back!

Urban: That’s all?! My Teslee from Mississippi can break a giant’s neck with her thighs!

Persephone: Do better, Urban! My Mizzen The Gremlin can break your bones with just using his zen!

Festus: Lol. My Tribute, Coral No Morals can knock you all out with just her profanities!

Dennis: Creed, sit down! My Hy So High can fly faster than a fly!

Iphigenia: Suck it, Dennis! Sol Aerosol can burn you all with just her sweat!

Domitia: Lame! My Tanner with a hanger moves faster than a spider!

Arachne: That’s just so and so! My Tribute, Brandy Sharp Candy will slice you to bits!

Clemensia: Little Crane is just jealous because Reaper The Sweeper has the strength of a thousand wild zebras.

Felix: And Dill with the drill has the agility of an eel!

Florus: Boring! My Tribute, Sabyn So Keen has the eyes of an eagle, speed of a cheetah, and the strength of a thousand flamingos!

Sejanus: But they won’t stand a chance against my friend, Marcus Spartacus!

Lysistrata: Wrong! My Tribute, Jessup with his getup will crush Marcus Spartacus like a bug!

Coryo: But they will all surrender to Lucy Gray and her army of Mockingjays!

Everyone:. . .

Festus: What’s a mockingjay?

Lepidus: What the duck and buck are you guys even saying?!😫

*Meanwhile, at the Zoo*

Lucy Gray: Sheaf the Chief-

Sheaf: Don’t even start, Baird.

Lucy Gray: But-

Sheaf: Do you want me to strangle you with my eyes?

Lucy Gray: Nevermind.😞
