Still Haven't Seen This Version

still haven't seen this version

The Owl House + Lumity + Hunger Games AU??? Idk LMAO I’m still on a THG kick after rereading/watching the whole trilogy!!

Some thoughts on the AU under the cut

Okay so this is a stupid idea but I’m just having fun with it. Obviously it won’t follow the hunger games directly because the situation and characters are different, but some stuff kinda connects!!

Katniss and Peeta= Luz and Amity

Prim & Ms Everdeen & buttercup = Vee and Camilla and King

The Mellarks = Odalia (fitting!), Alador, and Ed + Em (fits since both Peet and Ami have two older siblings). I don’t think they’d run a bakery though, but something abomination related that fits here.

Haymitch = Eda

Madge = Gus??

Gale = I’m afraid there’s no Gale equivalent here because it doesn’t make sense in this AU, and I’m not a fan of love triangles anyway.

Effie = Hooty. This is funny to me. the peak of my fanart career

Cinna and Portia = Darius and Eberwolf

Senecca Crane = Kiki

Snow = Belos obviously

Ceasar = Adrian

Plutarch = Raine

Finnick = Hunter

Annie or Johanna ish situation = Willow??

Coin = ummm either Lilith or Collector hm

Anyways I kept the human and witch ears because I thought that could be an interesting tie with the Merchants vs Seam. And Amity’s hair is fully green in the interview scene because she got her grown roots dyed during the makeover! In this scenario I imagine Odalia would make her children dye funky hair colours in hopes of getting into the ‘capitol’ equivalent, which I guess is the Emperors Coven.

Also instead of girl on fire, Luz would have some ‘light’ related title.

Strawbee but with wings?!

I remember a while back when I still had time for Twitch streams and I was using my Strawbee png tuber, being asked if strawbee has wings and usually no, but today I thought what if he did.

And he's very bad at flying. Who let this twink fly!?

if i could hold you for a minute

TBOSAS really puts the treatment of the tributes into perspective. Because they're not treated like that to make it a thing of glory or as a last meal - at least not primarily. They're treated like that so they can be seen as "Capitol" to the citizens.

During the time of the interviews, they are seen as Capitol, as worthy of respect, able to be related to and vouched for. Once they enter the arena, this is all stripped from them and they are left with District struggle. Not amount of bourgeoise masquerade can remove what is seen as District barbarism.

The sponsors' gifts represent the Capitol as "saviours" of the Districts: even the strongest would die without the Capitol's mercy. Or, at least, that's the idea Snow wants to portray.

Once they make it out of the arena, they have been gifted fully with the mercy of the Capitol. Not to the point at which they are Capitol themselves, but they are worthy of spectacle: stripped of their identity and made to conform with Capitol life.

It's like the colonisation of the Districts, in a way, as their culture was stolen from them - a tactic used repeatedly to control independent nationalities and cultures by colonisers. Of course, it's practically impossible to strip a community of their identity, even if they are forced to forget their culture. And we see this with District 12 - they still have roots of their culture left, with Katniss saying that they dance very well and her family having extensive knowledge of plants, supporting the idea that Katniss has Indigenous heritage. And they have other customs, such as the toasting ceremony.

So, the victors are torn from their identity, which has already previously been stolen by the Capitol, and made to conform to Capitol life. But even that is not genuine. Rather, they exist as a laughing stock as it is clear that they are only parading as something they are not. They are entertainment for the Capitol citizens, nothing more.

I love Boggs so much because he’s the only character in the revolution who continues to treat Katniss like a child. He sees her for what she is, and he’s willing to sacrifice himself for her - even when he has a young son of his own to care for. He’s so unbelievably caring, even in the middle of a war.

Why do I see no one talk about Boggs?!? I love him sm and he genuinely cared about Katniss. The scene were he wraps a blanket around her when shes cold (and having flashbacks?). Hes seriously underrated.
