This Is Hella Random, But I Think The Districts Recycle Clothing With Each Other. Or Have Style Circulation

This is hella random, but I think the districts recycle clothing with each other. Or have style circulation within the districts.

The Capitol gets always the newest clothing and fabrics. I imagine their clothing being in them w modern svante grade, futurist styles. Something no ordinary person would wear regularly- what the normal citizens wear. However, I think the mega mega rich captions have a classical suit. Like the styles is is forever immortalised becuase that when Snow came into more power, and they too follow that trend of classism. Eve one has a slight 60s space time cypher-galactic vibe. Like- all of them would wear some stupid design clothing to go get their shopping

D1 has a 20s-sequel demure. Like the capitol, I imagine they have that flair about them that holds a classical look. I imagine more of the practical 1920s look, with the outlandish refinements to it. Like the embroidery or the embellishment of the flapper looks. It’s higher class and lots nicer than the other districts clothing.

D2 has a Greco-Roman architectural design, but with the 40s war era inspired clothing. Again, an older recycles from Capitol and d2, yet, it’s far more functional it carries the agenda of practicality and functionalism, but holding the past of war/recolution. Perhaps a very Soviet-style militaria look. Yet, it’s hold all these fold and tapestry of Greco Roman clothing. The linen fabrics for the east movement for masonry, the deep red and amour on the school uniforms or peacekeepers. The miners have the truer 40s labour workers styles, uniform is rich red and heavy grays.

D3 definitely has an 80-90s vibe. The rise of technology, the innovate of knowledge. It’s grungier and dirtier look. It’s poor business casual that has dark clothing and patches.

D4 has a 70s vibe for the beach. Linen, cotton, crochet knots. The have laces and wool from their district’s ability for knot tying and the light weight fabric to cool then down from the heat. It’s more of the bohemian look than the disco vibe, but very muted and neutral. It has reds and blues and greens and white, n black from natural dyes from shells and animals near them. They don’t have flower patterns for clothing, but their crochet work is stunning. Anything and everything they can knit and make. All their warm clothing is mostly handmade, since most people can knit to a decent degree. It’s very beach vibes. I think they too would have an Ancient Greek inspiration with their clothing. But more of the draping and float aspect than the military style of d2.

D5 has a real 30-40s war time effort style. Is very manufacturing, with alsmost everyone watching pants and yay. It’s the long sleeves and protective clothing that’s subtle embedded in the styles. I don’t know much about abt d5, but this is the idea.

D6 is working class 1910-20s. It’s the ugly side of labour with leather pants to protect them from metal scratches and burns. Cotten clothing for east cleaning and all dark to hide the paints and grease. Everyone has rubber shoes or rubber protective equipments.

D7 has a 90s look. Mainly becuase of the flannel design and the denim, but I do agree they would have a slight 00s undertone with the straight cuts and the baggieness jn clothing. They dress Canadian 70s I think, if I knew what that meant

D8 is really into the 1900s industrial era style. The poor man working class style with modern look fitting a depression era fit.

D9 has a working class poor 50s look. It’s the thick denim and the plain dresses. The women and men wear lots of leather boots and shoes to limit the cuts and bits on their legs from the bugs founded in the grain

D10 has the modern day cowboy sorta style. It doesn’t really fit a specific time era, buts a collection of different times that don’t have a specific date so to it. I think a lot of people have leather jackets and shoes and sometimes patches in pants from the tanning/animal business. A modern, dirty poor cowboy farmer look from the Great Depression sorta style (IM DESPERATELY TRYING TI SAY THIS NICELY). I think they would wear lots of picnic style picese with some embroidered emblems for slightly rusher families.

D11 has the working farmer from the 69s look mixed with the lower class 50s style. It’s the corduroy pants and the light weight shorts to prevent overheating in the sun. They have longer socks and clothing that is really worn down. Warm clothings is homemade knitted wear that’s been handed down and is slightly girly mattered.

D12 is what I think they would dress like in the Great Depression. They have a nicer pieces from the 30s, with tailed suits and flattering pieces, the once classic pieces from the Capitol that have been finally handed down. Yet, the everyday person clothing looks like the fit in the ww2 everyday clothing. Clothing is a handed down of a hand-down. Make by either oneself or a preservation of a beautiful pieces only every worn for a terrible day. I think their ‘nicest clothing’ are more the 40-50s vibe. It really shows that they are behind all the districts.

I love this

Also let's not underestimate how many people might relate to the parts that feel like a self insert. They are part of our humanity. Let them be seen sometimes. Let others see and realise they are not alone.

"The rest came from you too, didn't it? You're carving up your soul to make this story; don't be ashamed you're leaving part of it a little more intact."

Writing is often a form of expression and way to explore ideas. So let's enjoy it and stop worring if little peices of yourself slip through into your art. It's still beautiful. In fact it can be better for it.

Original Fiction writers be like "Is this a self insert? Am I writing a self insert? Am I committing writing's greatest sin?"

First off, self-inserts aren't even in the top ten sins of writing. Unless you really drop the ball with it, it's not even as bad as forgetting Oxie. Take a note from the fanfic book and don't worry about it.

Second of all, as an original fiction writer you're not "inserting" anything into anything. The rest of this came from you too, didn't it? You're carving up your soul to make this story; don't be ashamed you're leaving part of it a little more intact.

While I'm at it don't be afraid to write in other people either. Fen has a Chesterton analog in his book, and the way he's explained it it's not very subtle either. Write in your mom. No one will notice, and the ones who do won't mind.

Ooooooooh... you have triggered the thoughts and ideas

I love a character raised to be a weapon as much as the next guy. But what really gets me is a character raised to be a shield. Who can’t fathom being needed—or even being wanted— beyond keeping others safe. Who believe they are alive only to insure someone doesn’t die. no matter the cost. Characters who self-sacrifice not because they think they deserve it, but because no one else does deserve it, and it’s their job to protect.

Characters who’ve been told that’s why your important. Your worth something because this other person/ thing is important, and you are here solely to keep them safe.

Bonus points if it’s not a legitimate job they’ve been given. Maybe at one point it was, but now that they are free from it, they haven’t given up that mentality. No one is forcing or asking them to do this, but they need to. They need to in order to be deserving.

Gonna go sit in my grumpy little blanket cave and vent my emotions into a pillow.

Me when I need a reminder self worth isn't tied to achievements and there can still be hope/love even in the hard times: I'm going to write a book where the characters learn this. That'll be a great way to explore this in more depth.

Me when I am sad and go to write but I have to start at the beginning and the characters have barely started their arcs so they refuse to let themselves be happy cause "they don't deserve it": oh. This is really sad and I don't wanna.

I guess thats the downside to having my characters start the story in dire need of growth. Sigh.

birdification beam!!
